SOHYANG & POS

Heavenly Voice, SoHyang sang new version of 인연 at Star!King.
She performed this beautiful song with Jasmine Choi, famous flutist.

SoHyang wasn't supposed to perform that day, but they asked her, so she sang this song with simple instruments they had. Because of flute(?), she lowed the key. Sounds very beautiful.

She said she wanted to play with Jasmine Choi before, but they couldn't cause Jasmine wasn't in Korea.
Maybe the song SoHyang wanted with Jasmine was this song, Fate, while she was singing at I Am A Singer2.

By the way, SoHyang will perform at Open Concert next week.

The vocal terminator, SoHyang went to press interview about Kirk Franklin on May 28th.
Kirk Franklin will visit Korea for his concerts and SoHyang will perform at his concert as a guest singer.

At this interview, SoHyang said she is a big fan of Kirk Franklin and she repeated almost every song of him.
She also said his song 'Revolution' is like revolution of gospel music and she wanted to make him as her model. People may think gospel music is boring, but she was surprised by his music like 'Gospel music can be made this way'. She added she is so grateful that she can be a part of his concert this time.
She recommended several songs of Kirk Franklin, 'Hosanna', 'Brighter Day' and 'Lean On Me'.

Kirk Franklin's concerts in Seoul will be 27th and 28th June.

New Song of SoHyang, Rhapsody of Rain, was just released.

Recording this song, the producer Joo Yeong-Hoon said SoHyang is the best female singer, and the true terminator of vocal :-)

He thought there is no other female singer who can sing this song except SoHyang, so he went to her musical hall and asked her while she was doing her first musical show 'Sound Of Music'.
She liked this song, so she said yes.

In fact, they first met up at KBS hall in 2000, maybe SoHyang was singing 'Upon This Rock' for the finale of the show. He really loved her voice, and he wanted to work with her. Joo Yeong-Hoon was very famous pop music producer then, But she turned down to remain as a CCM singer.

Korean famous producer, Joo Yeong-Hoon tweeted SoHyang's Photo today,
And online newspapers made so many news articles about this.
Many of them made good comments about her beautiful face of this photo :-)

With this photo, Joo Yeong-Hoon tweeted 'The true terminator of Vocal, and songs of SoHyang gives me chills'.
종결자(Terminator) is a kind of korean internet slang, so I don't know terminator is right expression in English.
Anyway it means she is the top or best.

He described her as 'The best female singer' before.

They recorded one song, called '비의 랩소디(Rhapsody of Rain)', a big hit song of Choi Jae-Hoon, which originally was released in 2000, and Joo Yeong-Hoon made this song and now SoHyang recorded this song for his 20th anniversary album.
This song will be released tomorrow, 27th.

Original Version of Choi Jae-Hoon

2013/10/23 - [Etc] - 'SoHyang is the best'

SoHyang sang '그것만이 내 세상(It's my only world)' at I Am A Singer 2 for her final stage.
This song was originally sung by Jeon In-Kwon(전인권) of 들국화, the legendary rock band of Korea.
He recently praised SoHyang's cover.

During his recent interview, he was asked about his favorite version among a lot of cover versions of this song.

He said "I Could feel the true heart from SoHyang's song a lot. I was falling in this song when I was listening.
She did just like I sang"

Then he was asked again "Do you mean she sang with her heart not her neck?"
And he said "Yes".

By the way, SoHyang appeared at Star!King, a big show of SBS.
She sang many songs like 'Emotions' ,'Hero', 'O Holy Night' at this show before.
Not known yet when it will broadcast.

SoHyang will also perform at CBS Love Concert soon.
And Kirk Franklin's concert in Seoul as a guest star next month.

Gospel Super Star, Kirk Franklin Will come to Korea for his concerts and 
The Heavenly Voice, SoHyang will perform at his concert.

Kirk Franklin will have his concerts 'Live in Korea 2014' in Seoul on 27th and 28th June.
Not known yet, which day SoHyang will perform on.

He would come before and SoHyang was supposed to be the guest star before, too.
But it was canceled. It's been 4 years since his last visit to Korea.

By the way, SoHyang said she's a fan of Kirk Franklin and she recommended his album and song 'Lean on me' to korean people thru korean major portal site, 'Naver'.

She said she memorized his songs singing along them and it was helpful for learning rhythm.

The heavenly voice, SoHyang sang for Haiti last Saturday.
There was a charity concert for Haiti and she made the show amazing again :-)

She will join another charity concert for funds for Lou Gehrig hospital on May 17th.

By the way, KBS invited her for upcoming Open Concert, but this show was canceled again.
This is because of recent korean tragedy. 
I think when they will start recording the shows, they will invite her soon again.

Korean super diva, musical actress and writer, SoHyang sang 'Let It Go' at KBS hall for children's day.
SoHyang was staying in New York for new album work, but she came back to Korea for this show.

She was voted 'The singer that they want to see the most' by children and she sang 'Let it go', the Disney animation Frozen O.S.T cause children voted this song for the song they want to listen the most.
How nice she is! She came back to Korea a couple of days before the show.

She must have the time difference problem and she must be tired. but she did an amazing job really!
I saw her rehearsal and real show in person. She sounded really amazing.
Her resonance filled the whole hall and her belting was very powerful!!
She was very beautiful as well. She was wearing Elsa-like blue dress and blue shoes.
Her hair also reminded me of Elsa. People really loved her!!

After the show, I said 'You were the bestest!!' but she said no. 
She wasn't happy about her performance. Maybe her condition wasn't perfect.
I was sorry about her feeling, but I think she was wonderful on the stage and people really really loved her.
She was very humble and kind.

You can watch the video.
But this couldn't catch her real voice very well.
You know her amazing resonance and power which were rocking my body.

By the way, a lot of kids came to her waiting room before the rehearsal, so she gave them her autograph and took pictures together though she was busy. Very young kids also wanted to interview her, so she did kneel down for her height and very kindly did a short interview with them. They asked what her favorite children's song is, so she sang acapella for them and also told them they should have a dream!

She was like an angel :-)

Korean top vocalist, writer and musical actress, Sohyang will perform "Let it go" this saturday.
KBS will broadcast 'Green children's song contest show' for children's day, 5th May.
And SoHyang is the special guest for the show. and the show is sponsored by Samsung and YMCA.

They invited SoHyang cause she was voted by children. She is the singer that children want to see the most!
So she will come back to Korea before this show.
Now she is staying New York for new album work.
19th is the contest, and SoHyang will come to Korea late night on 18th.
And she will have to prepare the show from early morning next day.
So she needs a lot of prayer.

'Let it go' is Disney movie 'Frozen' O.S.T
And many korean people wanted SoHyang to cover this song.
And now their wish comes true!

She has sung some Disney songs like 'Part of that world', 'Beauty and the beast' and 'Whole new world'.

They will broadcast this show on 5th May, the children's day.

New Single of SoHyang and G.Brown!!
Disney style pop-ballad song, 'Falling in Love' is G.Brown's debut single and SoHyang sang this song together.
G.Brown was back-up singer and vocal director, and this is his debut single as an solo artist.
SoHyang is co-writer of this beautiful ballad music and this song's lyrics was inspired by Kaylin of Crystal Castle, the fantasy novel which was written by SoHyang.

By the way, SoHyang recorded new material for 20th anniversary album of korean pop producer, Young-Hoon Joo and he said SoHyang is the best female singer for sure.
He will release those songs one by one a month. It's not known when SoHyang track will be revealed yet.
He made a lot of big hit songs in 90's and these new songs seem like remade & rerecorded songs of those hits.
