Arirang is Korean traditional song and it became UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity in 2012.
And it has various versions in various area of Korea and they still are making new versions like Arirang Alone.
We don't even know what Arirang means exactly or where it is from but every korean knows Arirang.
One of Korean people's unique emotions is Han 한(恨) which is like sorrow or grief.
Korean had suffered from Japanese invasion and we still have side effect. Anyway, a lot of Arirangs have this feeling.
(You can feel some sadness from Korean ballad songs, too)
SoHyang's Arirang Alone is very famous now but she has sung 2 more different Arirang songs, too.
One of them is New Arirang and she performed this song twice.
SoHyang's versatility is amazing, she can do western music, black gospel and this oriental sound so perfectly.
This song has a big Han, so I feel like to cry when I listen.
Maybe she could relate this song to Jesus, too.
Because this lyrics is like
나를 버리고 가신 임은 언제즘 내게로 오시려나
나를 버리고 가신 임은 이 슬픈 내 마음 아시려나
언제쯤 내게로 오시려나
My love who left me, when will he come to me?
My love who left me, will he know this sad heart of mine,
When will he come back to me?
You know she is very famous for her gospel song 'Until the Lord Comes Back'.
This concert was celebrating 2nd anniversary of UNESCO registration of Arirang.
At the end of the show, one old lady, a victim of Japanese invasion as comfort woman sang Arirang and everybody had to cry.
