As much as I love Korean folk music, Arirang, Korean culture, Korean language.. I think that she does a little bit too much here !! She even seems nearly ridiculous at some points, particularly at th end.. I agree that she has quite an amazing ability, but she tries too much to sound like Celine Dion or something! I am used to Jo Yong Pil version which is much truer. Korean culture includes humility but here she looks sort of "off beam" here, to me.
I'm from Spain, and of course I didn't know this song. They (the song and the singer) are marvelous. Korean traditional songs are wonderful and very emotive. Congratulations for your rich folklore.
Everytime i hear this song, it reminds me of my travel in korea in Dec.2003 and the scenery from the bus that ran on the highway. i went to Guangju, Namwon (the main theatre of "春香伝") , Kuanju and Seoul. I can feel the world of "Han", that can't be seen in japanese culture. Great song and singer!!!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Yeah, Jo Yong Pil is miles better. There´s no comparison. Honestly moving an more authentic. This song is the destilled esscence of Sadness and Longing. This woman is more interested in style and show and her affected vocal-style just does not fit to the song. It´s like Mariah Carey singing Native Indian Prayer songs, well - sort of, but anyway she just totally overdoes it and so ruins her performance!
is she a pop singer? she can't sing from the throat well - most pop singers sing from the stomach, and when they try traditional korean folk songs - from the throat - it always ends up sounding sloppy like this. 김영임 can do a GREAT 한오백년 but nobody would know, because the good folk singers are cast in the shadows by the pop stars.
robotom---I appreciate your effort but I'm wondering if you made an error? When I went to the site you referenced I got only a small sample of Korean Traditional singing (I'm not knowledgable enough to know if it was arirang) which was beautiful, but I wouldn't call it more powerful than Kim Soo-Hee's rendition of this song. I have to confess, I don't understand enough Korean to even know if it was the same song.
at 2:15 on video 3/4 Kim Young-Im sings Han-o-baek-nyun exactly how it's supposed to be sung. It's the only true version of the song I've found on youtube. The point of the show was for comedians and a pop singer to try to sing traditional folk songs in the traditional way. Western ears listen for sensational sounds - Kim Soo-Hee can do that, but by the way she was contorting about to try to get the right sound shows that she has no control over her own voice - in the realm of korean song.
Thank you for the clarification, robotom. I'm new to Korean traditional music so I don't know what to listen for. I appreciate your pointing me to this site so I can distinguish between the traditional song and style and Kim Soo-Hee's interpretation. I went back and listened a few more times, and looked up more of 김영임의 performances. Thank you again.
This is a traditional Korean folk song that has been sung at least over the few centuries, originated from Kangwon Do(Province). Folk songs from Kangwon Do tend to sound more dramatic, sentimental and even sorrowful than those from other regions beacuse Kangwondo is geographically rough with many rocky hills and rivers and the people often in the past struggled to make living out of its land.
Artists, philosphers, monks or convincted noblemen used to reside in the mountain to seek peace or isolation from the civilians. Kangown Do has been divided into halves only for the past 58 years since the Korean War in 1950-1952.
You right! The audience is not uniformaly dressed. Less of a communist trend. However, does that mean the north koreans don't share or value these types of music
Jonjr, THANK YOU for posting this vid. This performance is incredible--It goes beyond language;as moccaolive said, a sound that goes straight to the soul. Synergymaster, if you know a site that features better than this, PLEASE SHARE IT. I'd be willing to cry in public to hear it.

この動画、何回も見ますが、すごいの一言です。 以前旅したDMZ近くにある「望拝壇」からみた北朝鮮の風景をどうしても思い出します。行きたくても行けない文字通り「恨」の世界を想います。 うつ病を患いかの地を旅したのが28歳で、いま36歳。どうか、あの鉄条網で隔たった4kmの帯の向こうと自由に行き来できる日が、ぼくが生きている間に来るよう祈ります。

It is a love story between husband and wife, who have promised to live together for 500 years.
