SOHYANG & POS

Extremely talented Korean gospel diva, writer, actress, Sohyang finally finished her long-time musical tour of Sound Of Music which was sustained for several months in 4 cities Daegu, Busan, Seoul and Chuncheon.
And it's all over now!

Sohyang described herself 'very similar' with Maria, her musical role and she really did amazing job!
Her voice was perfect and her motions and act were lovely.

Sohyang also knew people want super high note from her, so musical team changed her version of Do-Re-Mi song a little to show her super high note which was so amazing.

During the tour, I and a few people had a nice chance to meet her personally at waiting room.
We had a nice time for 15~20 minutes. She gave her autographs on her books, phone or photos whatever we wanted. And we could take some photos with her together.
She was so kind and humble...of course beautiful :-)

Soon, she will go to New-York again for her upcoming album.
whether Her solo album or Pos album... not known yet.

She also released her second book 'Ghosts of Kardon' of Crystal Castle series, her own fantasy novel based on 'John's Revelation'.
I love this book so much and I wish this book will be translated into English someday.

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.

Sohyang - Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas

She used to sing this song with male singers at her Christmas concerts.
But this video is her solo version from KBS TV show.

So beautiful!!

Sohyang is currently doing her first musical show 'The Sound Of Music' that opened on 6th December.
People really like her singing and dancing as Maria role.
I've never seen somebody made bad review about her.
Every review about her was so good!!

According to one review,
There was a small accident when she was taking off her nun coif during the show.
By a mistake, her microphone was came off from her mouth, too.
But she naturally raised her voice volume up, so it still sounded loud!
She finished her part naturally :-)
And her singing, dancing and acting were perfect!

Actually she got one more show added in Daegu (Total 7 times in Daegu).
The organizers are also very happy and surprised by her!!

When they finish Daegu tour, they will perform in Busan.
And they will perform again in Seoul next year.

I'll go her Seoul show next year. I can't wait!!!
