The Soulful Countdown to G.O’s Discharge ~ Day 632

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.

[Announcement] G.O International Fan Club

When G.O entered the Army way back on 18 February 2016, I knew that I would write about him daily as a means to help me get through the days of his service, as well as a means of celebrating him and his talent. At that time, I also began contemplating what I would do following his discharge as I knew I would continue to follow his career and support his activities. It seemed that my little space here in the blogosphere was slowly turning into a fan page dedicated solely to MBLAQ’s charming main vocal and as such, I began to give serious thought about restructuring everything here on my blog to convert it into a fan page. But, I knew I wanted something new. Something separate and independent. Something special. Something that was going to be dedicated solely to G.O that would coincide with his own new chapter. So, I came up with the idea of creating a fan club site and the G.O International Fan Club was born.

The Soulful Countdown to G.O’s Discharge ~ Day 631

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!~

 

The Soulful Countdown to G.O’s Discharge ~ Day 627

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.

The Soulful Countdown to G.O’s Discharge ~ Day 626

Ok, so on 2 November, G.O took to his Instagram account with a mysterious picture update. He posted a picture of the popular Japanese food chain Yoshinoya pulling all of our G.O-radar antennae in the direction of Japan. Could he be in Japan? Possibly. Then on the evening of 3 October, G.O updated once again. This time from what possibly was the men’s room of an establishment say…like a restaurant? With no captions or hashtags, G.O is keeping us guessing. However, where he is currently is not important. What is important is that he continues to spoil us with updates. And seductive ones at that.

The Soulful Countdown to G.O’s Discharge ~ Day 625

Amazingly, I have let over 600 days pass without giving G.O.O.D Luv proper love and attention here on the Countdown. Shame on me because it is one of those songs that have a way of just making you smile and feel good. With its infectious beat and catchy choreography I would think that it most probably was (and is) a fan favorite and iconic in its own right as an MBLAQ pop song. I always love watching the joy in the performance the guys brought to the stage, even when effectuated in one very extravagant suit jacket. More nostalgia today for Fan-Camming Friday with a focused G.O.O.D Luv cam from the Family Science Festival performance on 24 April 2010.

The Soulful Countdown to G.O’s Discharge ~ Day 623

Happy November! Unequivocally, the month of G.O! I am kicking off the month with a One Shot since according to my log, it is time for one.^^ I think one of the most beautiful and exquisite professional pictures of G.O that has ever been taken comes from the GQ Korea spread for the 2011 Armani Exchange watch collection campaign. There were a few pictures taken for the campaign, but the one I share as today’s G.O One Shot is perhaps one of my all-time favorites of the series.

The Soulful Countdown to G.O’s Discharge ~ Day 622

The letter Q is a tricky letter in the English alphabet but I will not shy away from finding a Q word that I believe is a G.O descriptor. I have often labeled him quintessential in many ways, specifically as a vocalist. Being described as quintessential means being a quintessence and being a quintessence means that which possesses the purest essence of something and is the most typical example. The epitome. The ideal. The embodiment. Indeed, I can take this adjective and probably apply it to many facets of G.O. Apart from his voice which is the embodiment of sound manna to my ears, I happen to believe he is the quintessential balance of all that is strong and masculine while also being incredibly soft and gentle.

The Soulful Countdown to G.O’s Discharge ~ Day 619

Well, well, well . . . contrary to my belief that the moustache never dies, it is apparent from G.O’s early evening update on 27 October that indeed, and every now and then, the moustache meets a momentary demise. <hehe> I have no complaints mind you, because goatee or not, G.O’s handsome is a mainstay.
