SOHYANG & POS

Sohyang is playing her musical-debut role 'Maria' of Sound Of Music in Seoul.

I went to her show last night, and it was really wonderful!

She said when she was reading her script on her first day of practice, she made director and others embarrassed, because she couldn't act. She didn't want to make them trouble, so she suggested finding other actress. but anyway, she tried so hard, and she is really great now!

Her motions and voice were really beautiful and her act was very natural and lovely.

I know those songs from this musical don't require very high note or belting. but she still sounded amazing without them. and people really loved how she sang on the stage. her voice, itself, is very beautiful and powerful.

After the show, I met her at backstage and I'm so happy she remembers me :-)
She gave me her autograph.

She will keep doing this show until February then she will go to U.S.A for new album work.
And she will perform at KBS Open Concert next week.

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.
