SOHYANG & POS

주님 다시 오실때까지(Until The Lord Comes Back) is surely SoHyang's most famous song ever.
This song was composed and written by 고형원 선교사님(Missionary Ko HyungWon) who wrote a lot of Gospel and CCM music.
The song is included in POS's 3rd Album Butterfly.
She said it's her favorite song and she will sing this song until the Lord comes back.
She also said she think this song teaches her how to live as a christian.

In a long time, SoHyang showed herself at I Am A Singer legend.
They voted total 8 singers from all of the seasons for the concert.
And of course they called SoHyang, and in spite of a lot of schedules, she decided to attend.

SoHyang was 4th singer of the show.
She was introduced as 'The Heavenly Voice'.
She looks so beautiful with blue long dress.

SoHyang sang 'Dream' and 'I Have Nothing'.
It was outdoor concert in the night so they couldn't raised the sound volume much
and the musical setting was so poor, so other singers voices can't be heard loudly at some parts.
But SoHyang was different. When she sang the first part '가슴이 벅차 솟아오르네(My heart is overflowing)',
it was so big and heard so clearly. I could hear people heaved a sigh for her beautiful voice color at that moment right away.

She said she wasn't happy about her first appearance with I Have Nothing and she wanted to do it again.
So she sang this song again. More dramatic and emotional.
She was too nervous at her first appearance when she sang this song, but this time, she wasn't.
Surely she was shining. 

SoHyang was in Germany for concert in early September and she just came back for this concert.
So she hadn't time for rehearsal with band, nevertheless she was amazing!

It will broadcast at AM 9:50, 12th, Sep.

SoHyang is a big fan of TV drama producer ByungHoon Lee(이병훈) who is well known for Korean historical dramas.

"Among my latest works... This was the most satisfying and the most difficult song, too.
I really felt solitude while I was working on this song.
It should be plaintive and at the same time, it should explain unconcerned pain..
I think I didn't have many choices of female singers who could do that.
In a sense, Ms.SoHyang is more R&B and Gospel, and asking her for this major and traditional sound?
After she just grasped [the point of] this song, finally she just recorded the song only three times and went home.
And it got 'OK'[which means the recording is already perfect so they don't need to do anymore]...
it means I think she is more than I thought."

The Heavenly Diva, SoHyang will perform at KBS Open Concert on May 29th 2015.

This episode is about wishing the unification of South & North Korea.
And it will be held in KyungBok Palace(경복궁).

She will also perform for Rose Festival in Ulsal City tomorrow.

She recently performed 2 songs' Someday' & 'Fate' at PyengChang Winter Olympic event
and it broadcast live via KBS and SBS.

The Heavenly Diva SoHyang won another episode of KBS The Immortal Songs.
It's her only third appearance and she already won twice of them!
At her first appearance, she sang 'Lean On Me' in front of Michael Bolton
and she made him do standing ovation for her.
Bolton praised her saying she is a 'Virtuoso' and he asked her a duet and they did at his concerts.

Whenever she sings, people get crazy about her perfect performance and she did it again.
The Episode was about the English pop songs that korean people love.
And she chose 'Bridge Over Troubled Water' by Simon & Garfunkel.
She was so busy before this appearance, she had a lot of schedules in a row before the show.
she didn't have time enough to practice but she made it again.

She was 4th singer of 7 singers of the show.
Since she chose this old pop song, there were many people who didn't know this song.
(Other singers chose Let it Go of Disney Frozen OST, My Heart Will Go On by Celin Dion, Heal The World by Michael Jackson..

She didn't belt those her B5~C6 like her other songs, but still sounded strong and amazing and of course emotional.
This song has very gospel sound and you know she is a CCM singer, so it was perfect for her.

Although many people got up from their seats for her after her performance, the score was just 416.
Weirdly the audiences were calmer than other days and they didn't put the button for singers.
so the score was lower than anybody expected.
but she kept defeating other singers and became the final winner of the show.
In fact, she was only one who got over 400 score of the show.


By the way her birthday was 5th April, so this day, her fans brought big flowers, cake, letters, meals and snacks for her, her family, her team and other staffs of the show. they also would buy an expensive gift for her but she asked them to donate the money for Haiti.
So her fans donated money like $2,000 to Haiti.

Sohyang, known as korean super diva, writer and musical actress, recently has had a lot of interviews about her musical debut and her new book 'Crystal Castle'. Today I read one more interview of her.

She had had a lot of offers from various musical show since she appeared of 'I Am A Singer2', big competition show among Korean legendary singers, but she had rejected all because she didn't like the role. but she had always wanted to play 'Maria' role of Sound Of Music.
She said she watched the original movie like one hundred time, and her real personality is very similar with Maria from the movie. So, when she received the love call from Sound of Music, she said yes!

But she hadn't played musical show before, so she had to practice so hard for 3 months.
During her practice, she wanted to quit, cause it was so difficult and she wasn't sure if she would make it.
But when she played the show on the stage for the first time, she recalls it was really fun and she also said she will never forget the first day of the show.

Now she finished Daegu and Busan tour and she will continue this tour in Seoul in several days.
As soon as she finish this musical tour, she will go to New York to work on her new album.
It seems like more for mainstream music, not just CCM.
She also said she can't be sure cause she doesn't know when this album work will be finished, but she wants to try another musical show if the role is bright and gives hope to people. if she has a chance, she wants to play the role of 'Mary' of Jesus Christ Superstar.
