[Goodbye 2018!] SoHyang "Enjoy the light, I just want to live my life like my name" 2
The singer, SoHyang is making good influences with hopeful messages through her songs.
The heroine of this time 'Goodbye 2018' is SoHyang.
Just like the meaning of her name So(Light) Hyang(Enjoy), SoHyang delivered her good influences in many areas.
She sang her heavenly voice wider than before, Early of this year, She made a duet with Soprano Sumi Jo at Winter Paralympics opening ceremony PyungChang and recently she was invited to perform in Japan by Producer David Foster.
In fact, there is a common feature in her music, which is good lyrics. This is SoHyang's mission.
She said "I wished I could live my life just like my name, so that people who were in darkness can enjoy the light".
Actually one fan sent her a message saying that she didn't commit the suicide after listening to SoHyang's songs.
Because of this, she felt "The really important thing is to do music which can give someone the life and dream again than being famous and stand on big stages" and she decided that she "wants to be a bridge over troubled water, and that's the way of music with no regret"
You also can feel this mind from her single 'Your Song (The Song Begins)' released in May.
SoHyang found Healing from Love, Hope and Comfort instead of Rage, Sadness and Aggrievement.
And her sister-in-law, JinJoo L, who is a member of Amrerican band DNCE, one of the three female guitarists of America, featured in this song to make it better. SoHyang said "Jinjoo played the guitar happily. I'm very blessed with people"
'Your Song' was introduced as her own story that to be a singer was not her dream, but she became one.
SoHyang says "At the moment that I was going to quit singing, I'd realized the meaning of dream and decided to restart and wrote this song."
It was her echo saying "Don't forsake your long time dream and start it" and "You can do it too".
After 19 years since she became a singer, SoHyang now feels the responsibility. Sometimes it comes as a burden to her, but SoHyang says
"When I felt that I should 'Leave when I get applause', I realized that people don't expect only perfection from me all the time.
Although I did some mistakes, audiences rather felt my eagerness . Maybe it's different hope."
So she got comfortableness instead of anxiousness. She says "Sometimes, the music that I made easily is very pure and people can feel it.
When I was younger, I saw senior singers are loved though they don't have obsession and they were enviable to me, one senior singer told me not to fill up too much and now I realize what it means.".
Probably this is because of her theses changes, Now SoHyang is delivering hope to people who seeks for relaxation.
About her next year plan, she says "I wish people can do something bigger than current situation, and I want to sing a song with good melody and lyrics which can comfort a lot of people." and she also talks about an impressive story "I heard a story like, once upon a time, one indian chief told a boy that in everyone's heart, they have a wolf with anger, aggrievement, hate and another wolf with hope, love, joy and happiness, and the wolf you feed will win. Now this is the time of sadness and anger, but next year I'll try to feed the wolf of hope. Let's cheer up together!"
