Musing While Cruising the Hallyu Highway
I am feeling particularly fan-girly today and offer a Mona Lisa era selca for Day 260 of G.O’s service. G.O during the Mona Lisa era ~~~> so sultry and mysterious. With his long bangs covering one of his deep and gorgeous eyes, this style with its alluring mystique created perhaps one of G.O’s most provocative looks.

I recall feeling a rush of absolute excitement when the charmers of MBLAQ released the track list for their 8th mini album, Mirror, and there was a song penned by G.O entitled, I Know You Want Me. I could not even begin to wrap my brain (or emotions) around the fact that he wrote a song with a seemingly provocative title. And, he gave that song an English title. The anticipation of hearing a new G.O composition was overwhelming . . . I could hardly wait!

G.O’s fan service. It is legendary. So why not celebrate it here while we countdown the days towards discharge from his military duties. As I make my way through this countdown journey, I am pleasantly amazed by G.O’s ability to continually inspire me. Even when I am looking at a blank page, or a blank line in my tattered notebook, something always seems to find its way into the countdown. True, there is so much to love and admire about G.O, more than 730 days can contain, to be sure. So let’s have some fun with his fabled fan service.

Today’s One Shot is a picture so I decided to raid the Getty Images vault. It was nice to see they were in attendance at the June 2013 Sexy Beat Showcase, because I thoroughly appreciate the sexy vibe and style MBLAQ oozed all over the place during that era, especially G.O (of course).

It is Day 256 of G.O’s service, and time is just breezing along. Today I feel like relaxing in The Retro Room with our gentle main vocal. Traveling back in time to some in-studio radio appearances and his quiet, smooth and gentle rendition of Brian McKnight’s One Last Cry.

I have to admit that I admire the balance of strength and softness that houses itself so effortlessly in G.O. He exudes a masculinity that is always present and evident, but it is never threatening or chauvinistic. Perhaps it is because he has surrendered himself to his softer side, embraces it, and is not afraid to reveal it. Am I the only one who finds this extremely attractive? I have not met very many men like this and perhaps this is why I am so smitten with G.O. I have to believe that development of this delicate balance came early, when he was a child perhaps. Moreover, I have to believe it had something to do with how he was nurtured. I have to believe it started with family.

I am feeling nostalgic for an era I was not a part of. I have been thinking quite a bit of MBLAQ’s debut and how exciting it must have been for all. Maybe with the passing of another anniversary this month and having been in Seoul at that time, I am just feeling emotional. I think of the fans who were supporting G.O when he was with Tykeys and how they continued support through his transition to MBLAQ and I am grateful. For today, which is a fan-camming day, I am returning to A Lucky Day (again), and her sweet compilation of G.O-focused cams during some early performances of Oh Yeah.

Although they have become fewer over the past couple of years, there have been many documented moments of G.O’s absolute playfulness. Whether it was on the stage, during variety shows, fan meetings or fan signs; captured in video or in still photography, G.O’s brand of playfulness is a special part of his charm and will always remain one of many characteristics that make him so very attractive ~ in good times and bad. I am adding this category to my list and will share many of his playful moments over the next (and remaining) 478 days of his service.

So I went to Seoul. I was there for three weeks. It was perfect, magical even. And I did not even see my bias. Well….I guess I did, kind of. It was in his cardboard cut-out likeness at the Seocho Tourist Information Center. I admit, I was worried I would run into the real one as I was staying in Seocho, and very near to the Seocho City office. But, we managed to keep out of each other’s eyesight and he continued to quietly serve and that was totally cool. But….like many before me, I saw him indirectly, and a couple of times.

Yes, each day served is one day closer. Each day served is also a reminder of how much I do miss G.O. And it is not just his voice I miss, I miss his presence – you know, that ever-present possibility of him showing up on a stage somewhere, on television, in a musical. And….I really, really miss his smile. That genuine, ‘I’m feeling really good‘ kind of smile. The kind that is the subject of today’s One Shot, in .gif form.
