@ot7_jenii: So Hyang’s version of “Arirang Alone” is absolutely exquisite, in my opinion. Even if you don’t listen to Korean music outside of Kpop, I think this is worth a listen. Some background info from a YT comment: “I'm a Korean. 'Arirang' means 'contact' or 'to meet'. 'Ararivo' means 'I miss you' or 'lovesickness'. Korea is the only divided country in the world. Many families were torn apart by the war. Dokdo is the easternmost island in Korea. It was the first land invaded when it became a Japanese colony. For Koreans, Dokdo is a symbol of sovereignty. 'Baekdusan' is the highest mountain in North Korea and 'Hallasan' is the highest mountain in South Korea. It is also the farthest north and south.” #korea #southkorea #korean #arirang #koreanfolksong #history #sohyang #northkorea #dprk #koreansinger #koreanmusic #koreanart #asia #historical #asian #koreanhistory #koreanheritage #koreanpride #koreanculture #koreanhallyu #koreanwave #koreanfolklore #opera #voice #singing #soprano #vocalist #vocals #vocaltechnique #falsetto #highnotes #operatic #sopranosinger
