The Soulful Countdown to G.O’s Discharge ~ Day 171

~ Michele ~ 1 Comment

It has been some time since I opened up the Sesame Player vault to feature a moment from a randomly chosen episode and since it is the 6th of August I went ahead and chose Episode 6 and from that episode, the Ddabong Challenge. The goofy antics of Seung Ho, G.O, Joon and Cheondung had me giggling throughout the entire segment. Of course, that was when G.O wasn’t assaulting all of my senses with his charm, charisma, pouty lips and dreamy eyes. So distracting! ~.^

The Soulful Countdown to G.O’s Discharge ~ Day 157

Have you ever had one of those in between days? You know, the kind that aren’t really good, but aren’t necessarily bad either? Where the mood of the day or your own mood teeters somewhere in the middle, neutral to everything? That was my day today. So by the time I got on my train to head home for the evening, I was looking to shake myself free from the neutral with something and that something turned out to be Episode 15 of the KBS wacky variety show, Idol Maknae Rebellion. Oh…what a perfect tonic it was to watch the antics of G.O and Mir.

The Soulful Countdown to G.O’s Discharge ~ Day 146

Imagine you are in your golden years, a grandma or grandpa, living quietly tending to every day life when a barrage of celebrities descend upon your small village with camera crew in tow. Imagine further that the celebs included members of MBLAQ. Even though it was a variety show that was perhaps comedic in nature, there was something also very endearing about MBC’s Hometown Variety Dreams & Fields.

The Soulful Countdown to G.O’s Discharge ~ Day 140

Who can resist a man who clearly enjoys being an uncle just about as much as he enjoys being an artist?! I admit I am rendered completely weak when I see pictures of G.O with his family. Pictures of him being the loving and engaged uncle are even more delightful. In 2011, G.O along with his nephews (Choi Wan and Choi Yoon) and the younger of his older sisters (Jung Hye Yoon) landed on MBC’s variety program, Flower Bouquet, and charmed us all with their down-to-earth affable natures.

The Soulful Countdown to G.O’s Discharge ~ Day 119

Ok, so even though I say that I am happy that I came to the MBLAQ party late in the game because I am not sure I would have been able to handle all of the OMG G.O moments real-time, I will confess that I really, really, REALLY wish I could have watched each and every episode of his Immortal Song 2 performances as they were being broadcast. Not only to take the journey to the depths of his heart via song, but also to enjoy his many moments interacting with the other vocalists, the audience, commentators and MCs.

The Soulful Countdown to G.O’s Discharge ~ Day 109

As much as I am missing G.O these days, I am at least grateful that Hello Baby is filled with so many adorably sweet and entertaining moments of him to look back on and enjoy. I am relatively confident I will be able to eke out quite a few more of those moments over the course of these next 622 days. Remember the Bibimbap Song?

The Soulful Countdown to G.O’s Discharge ~ Day 106

The truth is so immersed in my heart . . .

After a seven month hiatus from the Immortal Song 2 stage, G.O returned on September 8, 2012, to sing Choi Sung Soo’s 후인. Borrowing the Latin flavor from Sung Soo’s 1988 original, G.O’s version stripped away the cha-cha beat, slowed it down and added a hauntingly lovely Spanish guitar. The stage was set for G.O to begin romancing the audience. Maybe it is just me, but I think you might agree that adding a Spanish guitar to a song immediately creates romance.

The Soulful Countdown to G.O’s Discharge ~ Day 100

Day 100!! Beautiful G.O has completed 100 days of his military service. Now, that wasn’t so bad. Those first 100 days actually went by rather quickly, right? Right?! Ok, so yes, the days seem to be moving right along and at a somewhat decent pace. Maybe? That pace still does not lessen the ache of missing him. Of having the excitable feeling of seeing an announcement that he will have an event, an appearance, a show, musical, movie or song. Right now, all we have is the promise of his imminent discharge. For Day 100 then, no fanfare needed as I will choose to honor his desire for a quiet service and simply share a moment of him covering Eric Benét’s Still With You.

The Soulful Countdown to G.O’s Discharge ~ Day 94

After silence, that which comes nearest to expressing the inexpressible is music.

February 4, 2012 was the second of two nights honoring legend Song Chang Sik. That night, G.O took to the Immortal Song 2 stage and sang the deeply moving 당신은 [You]. Never one to ever hold back, G.O was at his heart-wrenching best. A perfect storm of marrying majestic vocals with the absolute agony of love.
