Musing While Cruising the Hallyu Highway
I challenge you to deny that at some point over the course of all of the songs MBLAQ has given to us, there have been those select few where you tilted your head back and said to yourself, “Hmmmmmm…..what if they had an MV for that song?” This is exactly how I feel about Dress Up.

The first five months of 2014 were pretty spectacular for our gentle main vocal, G.O. As the year opened, he was in rehearsals for Seopyeonje which subsequently opened in March. By April, he was knee-deep in promotions for MBLAQ’s 6th mini album, Broken. At the same time, he was cast in a second musical, 바람의나라 [Kingdom of the Winds], scheduled to open in May, a mere 3 days after his final performance in Seopyeonje. He was perhaps at his busiest, yet I don’t think I have seen him happier.

A good song will always stand the test of time. This is something that G.O understands explicitly. His penchant for tender ballads written and recorded well before he was even a glint in his parents’ eyes is proof that the soul that resides in him has most probably been here before, and has felt love and loss, often.

Home alone in your bedroom, your parents conveniently away enjoying the evening (or perhaps weekend) at a jjimjilbang, and your adorable boyfriend shows up with some beer and a smile. Conditions are indeed ripe for romance!

Over the past year, we have seen G.O often in deep, rich colors, usually black (which he wears quite well). But how about we travel back in time a bit to a March 2011 Maeryo House photoshoot, where he wore the muted hues of blue, taupe and white. Even the softest and most gentlest of angels created in heaven would find it difficult to match his ethereal presence in these photos.~😍

There is nothing sweeter than hearing a smile in G.O’s voice when he sings. Remember 살 빼지마 [No Diet]? With every lyric released from his beautiful lips, G.O’s collaboration with rapper Damiano can very well be the tonic you need right now to help ease the blues of his 21st day away from us.

If you were not already completely smitten with G.O after the first 10 episodes KBS Joy’s 5th season of Hello Baby, then most assuredly, number 11 would do the trick.

Sometimes it is impossible to single out a favorite MBLAQ song. But when I start to focus on specific criteria, like written and composed by G.O, for example, it narrows the selection. And even though I love each and every one of his songs in and of themselves that he has written and composed, it is 봄여름가을 그리고. . . [Spring Summer Autumn and . . .] that I must single out as my absolute favorite.

G.O seems to be a man of many consistencies. And when you are consistent, it does not mean you simply want to maintain a comfort level, or a status quo. No. To me, being consistent shows a sign of deep loyalty, reverence and respect to people, work, an idea…or, for G.O, a song.

French clothing company Lacoste has been in the business of making fine apparel since the early 1930’s. With its signature green alligator logo, it still seems a perfect endorsement fit for the modern millennia, and especially so for our ‘gator-loving main vocal.
