Waiting For Donghun ~ Day 47

~ Michele ~ Leave a comment

Back in 2017 (not long after their debut) A.C.E collectively had a cameo appearance in the Korean Drama Age of Youth 2. No huge stretch for the guys as they were portraying an idol group. I recall back in my MBLAQ days there was a drama special about an under-appreciated housewife who discovers an idol group and becomes a fan of the group’s rapper played by MBLAQ’s Lee Joon. In becoming his fan, she finds all kinds of new joy in her life. Okay, sure . . . silly premise but I have to say I enjoyed it – probably because it hit close to home. But, I digress. My point is, our idols often segue into acting by essentially playing a version of their own self. And so it was in Age of Youth 2 when Donghun (along with his A.C.E brothers) portrayed a member of the idol group, The Fifth Column.

Waiting For Donghun ~ Day 46

Donghun is well known throughout the fandom for his expressively sad eyes. For me personally, I find them to be more gentle than sad, even when he opts for a pose that is more pouty or introspective. I have noticed that many of his selcas lean towards the more neutral. Not that he never turns the camera on himself when he is smiley or playful, he does (he has some wicked fine eye smiles). But, perhaps the depth of a capture that is more soft or solemn adds to his mystery. You know, those kind where you cannot fathom for a second what is on his mind, but are dying to know.

Waiting For Donghun ~ Day 45

Going into the archives with this pre-debut DH moment. Remember how singing was Donghun’s first and foremost goal when embarking on a career in the music business. Dance was secondary but an idol’s gotta do what an idol’s gotta do. That includes some pre-debut legwork (100% pun intended) in the form of a back-up dancer. Yes….Donghun had a back-up dancer gig as part of the crew used in Korean solo singer Hi.Ni’s MV as well as live performances of her song, 클러치백 (Clutch Bag).

Waiting For Donghun ~ Day 44

When it comes to K-pop and my favorite groups and idols, I have many weaknesses but none are so great as the pet parent, or in Donghun’s case, pet uncle. Like any good uncle, Donghun was all too ready, willing and able to gush about his older brother’s newest addition to the family. Let me tell you, cute overload is putting it mildly. In this post, we are going to have a little peek at Donghun’s furry niece, Hae.

Waiting For Donghun ~ Day 43

~ Michele ~ Leave a comment

I don’t know if I ever mentioned this (probably have) or if it is general common knowledge, but our main vocal Lee Donghun is the eldest member in A.C.E. Usually the eldest member of the group is the leader but in this case, that job fell to Junhee even though he is younger than both Donghun and Wow. Since Donghun is the eldest he sometimes exercises that hyung privilege. But for some reason, he always lets the maknae get away with things. Such is the case with playful Chan as he finds his way into everyone’s heart and, for today’s DH One Shot (GIF edition), into Donghun’s personal space.

Waiting For Donghun ~ Day 42

Let me just preface this by saying that this post is all about a Hunnie Cam you did not think you wanted, but definitely needed. I think it is particularly special because the fan sign from where it evolves happened last November. Yes, November 2020. We were still in pandemic mode at the time so there had to have been a very small number of fans in attendance which makes it all that more intimate and special. Nevertheless, there was a fan sign on November 20, 2020 which was two months after the release of A.C.E’s third EP, HJZM : The Butterfly Phantasy; the EP that includes one of my all time favorite tracks, Baby Tonight. The countdown gods must be pleased with me because there is a focused Donghun cam from the fan sign performance. Hurry…let’s have a look.

Waiting For Donghun ~ Day 41

Technically this post can operate on two levels. First, it could easily fall under the category of Pre-Debut Donghun. Second, it could also land in the Vocal Magic category. Since I call the shots on this countdown, I am officially placing it in the Vocal Magic category because, it is pure magic of the vocal kind. Imagine getting to enjoy a virtual karaoke moment with one of your fave artists? Well, apparently the Smule app allows for this to happen in it’s own little magical way. Back in 2016 (before A.C.E debuted), Donghun logged into the Smule app under hooning1993 and chose to sing Heaven’s Door with the singer-songwriter who released the song, Eric Nam.

Waiting For Donghun ~ Day 40

Another short post for a celebratory day. First, we are beginning a new month ~ welcome November! Next, we are at Day 40 ~ woo hoo! Finally, a milestone marker that we are officially under 600 days remaining in Donghun’s military service!!! Feels like we are taking baby steps towards discharge, but I promise time will indeed move swiftly. For the record, I will celebrate every milestone marker (big or small) along the way. I’m sentimental like that.

🥳✨🥳✨🥳✨🥳

Under 600 equals well under two years. If you look at it that way, it does not seem as bad . . . right?! If there is one thing I learned about countdowns, every small victory (or in this case, every day crossed off) counts!
