The Soulful Countdown to G.O’s Discharge ~ Day 636

~ Michele ~ Leave a comment

I have only two problems with my Vocal Virtuosity selection for today and they are: (1) it is not the full song and (2) the entertainment news reporter had the gall to talk over the pure angelic vocals of our gentle troubadour. Brief and interfered with it as it may be, it is perhaps the only live recording (that I have come across anyway) of G.O singing one of his two solo songs from the magnificent Ty Project No. 1 album, 내가 아니라도 [Even Though It’s Not Me]. Pure heaven nonetheless.

The Soulful Countdown to G.O’s Discharge ~ Day 635

There are some days when a One Shot turns into a three shot because the moderator and author here (me) has no self control or, in her defense, cannot with good conscience decide upon whether one picture is better than the other in a series. This is one of those days.  So today, I will not allow her to choose and let her offer three gorgeous captures from the May 2011 Japanese KBS World Guide as seen through the lens of Love Letter Studio’s Han Seung Hoon.

Wow…and double wow! G.O discovered Instagram Live and none of us will be the same again! Yes, late, late Saturday night, 11 November (and into the wee hours of Sunday), G.O all cozied up in his recording studio, hit the IG “Live” and for a little over six and a half minutes, shared some time with his followers. I had a feeling he would begin amping things up now that he has less than 100 days of service remaining, but I wasn’t expecting this!

I know I cannot possibly be the only one of G.O’s fans who, in addition to love hearing him sing, finds his speaking voice equally charming and soothing. Lately, I have been taking a different approach to learning Korean. Instead of initially pouring over a textbook, I have decided to log hours of just listening. Remember the Sweet Music Box broadcast on SBS radio G.O did back in 2010 with Jung Go Eun? Those have been my constant listening skills teaching companion this past month. It is helping but since I really love the tone and timbre of G.O’s voice, I get easily distracted from the task at hand. Nevertheless, learning this way is actually a pleasurable experience. But what does this have to do with anything? Well, it is Fan-Camming Friday and I decided upon a cam from the 15 April 2012 Daejeon fan sign where fans were regaled with one of G.O’s cheeky discussions.

This is it G.Oddess . . . the last 100 days!!! Can you feel the energy and excitement growing? Are you as anxious as I am to see what G.O has in store for us when he returns? Throughout this countdown series I have been trying to not let my excitement get too out of hand as we chipped away at the days of his service. But I think now that we are left with only 100 days . . . yeah, I think we can all start to get a little crazy. In one hundred days, G.O will be back!

~100 Days!~

Are any of you hopeless romantics like me yet lose sight of the fact that you are? I am sure there are a few of you out there. You know, had your heartbroken a couple few times but on a good day somehow feel that love is still transcendent? Sometimes when I look back at G.O’s roles in either Pure Love or Couples Clinic, I am reminded that I am indeed a hopeless and quite often, helpless romantic. My G.O One Shot today is a little shot of some G.O romantic from Pure Love.

The Soulful Countdown to G.O’s Discharge ~ Day 629

Back on 4 November, G.O took to his Instagram account and uploaded a couple of scenic photographs, one of which seemed to indicate that he was in fact visiting Tokyo’s own Magic Kingdom. We had already been given reason to believe G.O was in Japan when he earlier (2 November) posted a picture of the Yoshinoya restaurant sign. With his 4 November updates, G.O’s ardent Japanese fans recognized that he had indeed visited Tokyo Disneyland.

Happy Birthday, Byung Hee!!

This may be a Monday and the 628th day of G.O’s service, but it is also the 6th of November. On the surface it may seem like a day like any other. However, it is far more special. Back in 1987, a celestial event occurred on this day. Jung Byung Hee was born. Here we are again celebrating G.O’s birthday, the second time around as an enlisted man. Only this time, there is not another long year ahead of us to navigate awaiting his return. No, not on this birthday. G.O now has 103 days remaining in his service which, if you want to break that down equals 3 months, 1 week, 4 days, 16 hours, 19 minutes and 59 seconds, to be exact. Yes . . . I am counting!

Happy Birthday to the sweetest, most humorous, intelligent, and talented man I know. Happy Birthday to my dearest Byung Hee!

As we inch towards G.O’s final 100 days of service, I cannot help but feel a sense of urgency to cheer both him and his fans on to the finish line. What theme song could be more appropriate than his solo song from the Mr. 아이돌 OST, Believe? It also serves as an equally wonderful addition to the Vocal Virtuosity files.
