The Soulful Countdown to G.O’s Discharge ~ Day 266

~ Michele ~ 2 Comments

On 9 November 2013, G.O made his final appearance on Immortal Song 2 and sang Kim Jung Soo’s touching 내마음 당신 곁으로 [My Heart is With You]. I cannot tell if it is simply a matter of not catching my breath when I watch G.O sing these emotional ballads or if it is simply that I hold my breath for fear of losing grip of my own emotions hearing the heartache in his voice when he sings. I would think that by now, I would have the strength to withstand his attack on my senses but in truth, the more I listen to and watch him, the more defenseless I become.

The Soulful Countdown to G.O’s Discharge ~ Day 255

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.

The Soulful Countdown to G.O’s Discharge ~ Day 231

It was 6 October 2012 and a night to celebrate the music of composer Cho Ha Moon. It was also G.O’s second to last performance on Immortal Song 2. I had been posting G.O’s IMS2 performances pretty regularly. When I realized that I was coming to the end of his run with two remaining episodes to cherish here, I paused and on almost four years to the day of this broadcast, I return to the IMS2 stage and invite you to lose yourselves with me in the tender ballad 왜 나만 [Why Only Me].

The Soulful Countdown to G.O’s Discharge ~ Day 214

~ Michele ~ Leave a comment

On 26 May 2011, Episode 12 of MBLAQ’s Sesame Player aired and with it the final Fragrant Interview. The Fragrant Interview segment was one of my favorite of the series because it was almost like a truth or dare (without the dare) game wherein one of the men acted as interrogator asking a series of questions to their unsuspecting MBLAQ brother. If the answer was not acceptable, a penalty was issued in the form of a fart bomb. In Ep 12, the Interview was like a retrospective of the previous Interview segments and is my random Sesame Player episode choice for Day 214 of G.O’s military service.

The Soulful Countdown to G.O’s Discharge ~ Day 207

Episode 158 of SBS’s 도전 1000 곡 [1000 Song Challenge] aired on 7 August 2011 and could have aptly been retitled I Challenge You Not to Fall For G.O Tonight. Well, at least that is how I felt when I watched him sing Kim Min Woo’s 사랑일뿐야 [It’s Only Love]. Winsome and dreamy, and in remarkably under two minutes, G.O invites you into his heart where it is easy to nestle in and get lost in the warmth of his tender voice.

The Soulful Countdown to G.O’s Discharge ~ Day 204

It was not difficult for MBLAQ’s charming main vocal to absolutely charm me into surrendering my heart. A single note sung, a soft smile, a warm handshake were all the ammunition he needed to seal his place as my one true and ultimate bias. When I watch old variety show appearances, my fate is further sealed. Why bother fighting the wave of his charm? Like many who claim G.O their bias, I am defenseless. As I continue to parse through his many show appearances, I am repeatedly reminded of his gregarious personality and charismatic screen presence. G.O’s moments captured on We Got Married Global with 2PM’s Taecyeon and Taiwanese actress Emma Wu was no exception. For this 204th day of G.O’s service, we’re going to the kitchen for some kimbap.^^

The Soulful Countdown to G.O’s Discharge ~ Day 190

~ Michele ~ 2 Comments

It has been awhile since I raided the Hello Baby archives for a post so I decided to choose a random episode to have some fun with on this 190th (OMG….!) day of G.O’s service. I chose Episode 7 which as you may recall, was the episode wherein the MBLAQ appas decided they needed a mother for the children. This ep introduced five potential mommy candidates who, according to the appas, needed to possess four very important traits in order to be considered for the position (G.O offering the first two…lol!): 1. Beauty. 2. Beauty. 3. Wealth. 4. Some childcare knowledge. *smh* <~~~~ And vigorously so!! <hehe>

The Soulful Countdown to G.O’s Discharge ~ Day 188

I have been enjoying the exploration of G.O’s many endorsements and know I have not even scratched the surface of realizing them all. What is most enjoyable is that in seeking out endorsements, it often leads to more than just a mere peek at the product being featured. This is a good thing in that it expands the material available to share and invariably takes my thoughts to other more substantial facets of his style. An artist’s style is most definitely an extension of his art. On the surface today it may look like I am taking a look at some of G.O’s jeans endorsements when in fact, I really would like to simply look at his denim style.

The Soulful Countdown to G.O’s Discharge ~ Day 186

When I decided to take this daily journey counting the days served of G.O’s military service, I knew that there would be a wealth of G.O moments I would be able to write about and share. Admittedly, I would have loved to kept it primarily focused on his music. But in a way, that would do him a bit of a disservice. Even though G.O would probably describe himself a musician (and specifically, a vocalist) first and foremost, his time spent on the musical stage, small screen (and soon, big screen) as well as MC duties and his many appearances on variety programs offer us a window to the vast and infinite facets of his incredible talent. And then, there is his charm, which is always in overflow mode. But it was completely off the richter scale in Episode 41 of KBS2’s Invincible Youth.
