Arirang Alone symbolizes the history of Korea and split and longing for the North and South to be one. The songwriter’s parents had to leave two sons and a daughter in North Korea during the war. His father’s dying wish to him was “when Korea reunites, go find your older brothers and sister and tell them that their parents did not abandoned them”. Where everyone in the audience sings along is where Sohyang brought in the original Arirang lyrics and melody. It's a very emotional patriotic song for all Korean's. It's considered to be the unofficial national anthem.

Arirang is a traditional Korean song with hundreds of versions. In particular, this Arirang alone is about the wish for the reunification of divided Korea. The exact etymology of Arirang is unknown. In Korea, Arirang is described often as the word "Han" which means sadness that has been built deep in your heart. So as a Korean, I feel Arirang this way... [To hide the sad sobbing scream of 'Arrrrr~', Switching it to the musical expression 'ang'] In other words, Arirang sounds like holding back tears. Therefore, Arirang hill is not a real thing, it means the ongoing hardship while swallowing sadness. This song expresses a very sad midsummer night's dream perfectly with So-hyang's performance and facial expressions harmonized with the arrangement and production. It consists of three main parts. : Sadness(Reality), Joy(Dream or Illusion), Sadness(back to the reality) 1. The song begins by singing about the [reality] that the South and the North are on a path of hardship. 2. In the climax of "and it became one", it goes into a [illusion]. Baekdu is the northernmost mountain in North Korea, and Halla is the southernmost mountain in South Korea. In other words, it's impossible now to travel from mountain to mountain. This illusion gradually develops into joy. (most painful part because I know it just a dream) 3. Then, In the last A cappella part, it wakes up from its dream and returns to reality. Really heart braking song for Koreans.

Danielle, excellent reaction, as usual. This is a very old Korean Folk song. The audience was singing along at one point because it is very well known. I have heard that it is more recently revered as expressing hope for Korean reunification. That was a traditional gown she was wearing and some of the staging was reflective of Korean tradition. Sohyang is instrumental in the arrangement of all of her stage performances so her personality is always on display on the stage. Others can give a better explanation of the roots of this particular performance. Cheers.

So Arirang is a traditional Korean folk song that’s been around for hundreds of years so it’s very well known. It’s considered the unofficial national anthem of South Korea actually. This version Arirang Alone is a take on the traditional song but it modernizes it and really speaks to the hope of reunification between north and South Korea enabling families who wore torn apart by the divide to see each and be United once again. It’s a very emotional and meaningful song. I think literally every Korean person knows the song in some shape or form.

I felt like sohyang described the history of the Dokdo through her composition of the song. Arirang alone is about this island on the east of Korea. It started off very peaceful then moved on to Jpanese invasion of the land where they extincted a seal called Kangchi by hunting them. Then the ending of the song describes how Korea has bright and hopeful future.

Hi coach, everyone says to listen to "everyone" but that's the last one you should listen to of her more popular views. Now that you've done Arirang alone, follow up with You Raise me up, Lean on Me, I Will Always Love you, Amazing Grace, Stay, and Misty in whichever order you feel. Last should be Everyone. You will go on a journey of her singing different genres, like Mori. Again, everything after that is just icing on the cake. Her Begin Again Series is much softer anf stripped bare in nature and her live concerts from end of 2021 and beginning 2022 shows how her voice has only gotten better with age. For more fun, you could also look at MAMAMOO'S and Big Mama's Killing voice since you like girl groups and harmonies. They are snippets of their greatest hits. You can then see what you want to follow up with. Park Hyo Shin is also a great artist. Start with Wildflower on Yu Hui Yeols sketchbook, where he is in a white suit. Super emotional.

*Arirang* (the original) is the most-beloved Korean folk song. It’s believed to be first sung over 600 years ago and passed down from generation to generation. No one knows the exact meaning of Arirang but it embodies the spirit of the people of Korea for centuries. Arirang represents the suffering and tribulation (Arirang 'Hill') overcome as people and the nation. If we’re together as one holding hands, we can make it over the hill. *Arirang Alone* is a modern adaptation (released in 1990) of the original Arirang, written in the hope of reunification of Koreas. It’s a song of hope and peace. It tells a dream of the Island of Dokdo floating in the East Sea all alone singing Arirang. If Dokdo sang Arirang, alone in the Eat Sea, would North and South reunite? Dokdo is islets centrally located between Mount Baekdu (on the northern border of North Korea) and Mount Halla (on southernmost Jeju Island, South Korea). Let’s ride a boat together from Baekdu and Halla. When we dock our boats at Dokdo, we’ll witness new dawn together. The songwriter’s parents had to leave two sons and a daughter in North Korea during the war. His father’s dying wish to him was “when Korea reunite, go find your older brothers and sister and tell them that we did not abandon them”

Arirang is an old Korean traditional song, it's almost their unofficial national anthem. It's really a sad song about leaving a loved one over crossing Arirang bridge. There are various versions to this song depending on the region. Sohyang made it relate to the tragic division of Korean people between the North and South reflecting divided loved ones. The lyrics expressed hope for reunification someday. Arirang is more pronounced as Ari-rhaaang with a long "a", not ari-yang as you said or ari-rang where "rang" is pronounced as in "the doorbell rang". Hope it helps.

Info on The Song This is a traditional folk song that most recently has been used to represent the dream of unification of the Koreas and this arrangement was composed by So Hyang and her husband to take advantage of her ridiculous range and breath control. You will discover her entire catalog is amazing, her background is Contemporary Christian Music/Gospel and she's stated many times that her primary mission is to comfort people rather than pursue traditional fame/recording deals etc. She has turned down More BIG record companies than most artist would ever get.

Sohyang lost to Jo Tongdal and his son and grandson. Only his son is a famous singer, not his grandson. Though I didn't agree, it makes sense why the audience gave votes to Jo Tongdal. Jo Tongdal was also beaten by Song So-hee, another famous traditional folk singer. It makes sense she sang last and the theme of the episode was folk songs. The voting audience is also equally divided into different age demographics from the 20s to 60s.

Thanks for your great reaction!!! "Arirang Alone" is actually a modern song written in 1989, but in perhaps in 70s style(?), more retro style (in Korean 90s standard) song. It uses the theme of "Arirang," which is a famous Korean folk song with many regional versions. "Arirang Alone" used the most famous "Arirang" in the middle of the song where many people sang along in this performance. Of course, this version is arranged for Sohyang to perform in Immortal Songs folk song special episode. This song was originally written with a wish for the unification of Korea. Dokdo, is a small island in East Sea and the composer thought Dokdo is where the South and the North can meet. I believe the dissonant violin part right before "it becomes one" is arranged in there to describe two different Koreas can be one, which is not in the original song. One interesting part of this performance is Sohyang doesn't pronounce "East Sea" in the song. At first, I thought she forgot the lyrics, but she almost started the word, but mumbled. I heard many other versions that she sang in other programs. She doesn't almost start the word, but hums through that part. It seems that she almost forgot NOT to pronounce the word in this performance. I wonder if the tv stations do not allow her to sing out the word "East Sea" or she has some kind of contract with Japanese. Japanese call that part of sea "Sea of Japan" and Koreans call it, "East Sea." Most world maps write "Sea of Japan," but now many of them use both "East Sea" and "Sea of Japan." I don't understand why we cannot call something our own way. It's not like Koreans are claiming the sea belongs to Korea like Japanese falsely claim Dokdo as theirs when historical records show that Dokdo belongs to Korea. Funny thing is Jin of BTS wrote "Super Tuna" with his love for fishing. In the song, Jin mentions both "East Sea" and "West Sea," simply because both seas are on the East and West of Korea. But Japanese complained about the lyrics "East Sea" and tried to boycott BTS. However, because of what they did, it became an issue and now the whole world knows it as "East Sea." Many other singers have sang the part "East Sea." I haven't heard anyone singing this song recent years and not sure other singers don't sing "East Sea" as well nowadays.
