The Soulful Countdown to G.O’s Discharge ~ Day 715

Before I gave way to using this sub-category solely to share G.O’s many recent selca updates, I was simply sharing various selcas he had given fans over the years. Recently I mentioned that I decided not to worry so much about his real time updates but to continue in the nostalgic vein this countdown series had been traveling from the outset. A kind of retrospective of G.O. I am therefore deeming today the last G.O Selca Magic day of the countdown and I am labeling it old is gold because more than four years have passed now since he posted the selca I choose to share today. I suppose it is not that old, as old would have been a selca from his days with Tykeys. Yes, I could have traveled back further, but really any selca that has not happened in this very year could conceivably be called old, or at best, older. But old is good. In fact, old is gold.

The Soulful Countdown to G.O’s Discharge ~ Day 661

I have been thinking about the Men In Blaq concert recently. It was MBLAQ’s first major concert and therefore pretty special. The one thing about the early concert tours that I did not get to experience at Curtain Call back in November 2014, were the special stages. I was thinking about all of the G.O special stages I did not get to see which makes me hungry for all upcoming special stages he will give us when he returns. But this post is not about special stages or even really the MIB concert. No, it is a just quick visit to a moment of G.O’s Fabled Fan Service that just so happened to have occurred on that day, 20 August 2011. It probably may not necessarily be deemed blatant fan service; but to me, whenever G.O engages with fans outside of the purview of a fan sign, fan meeting or performance, he is more than exercising fan service. He is exercising a desire to connect which is fan service on steroids.^^

The Soulful Countdown to G.O’s Discharge ~ Day 586

Pausing two weeks before turning the camera once again upon himself, G.O updated his Instagram on 24 September with a stunning Sunday selca survival report that left us all in the dreamy haze of a collective sigh. He certainly knows how to pull the proverbial rug out from under our feet while still satisfying our desire to see him, doesn’t he?

The Soulful Countdown to G.O’s Discharge ~ Day 542

Why do I have a feeling that these remaining 189 days are going to be invaded and duly taken over by Selca Magic moments here on the Countdown? Could it be because that at ten days into the month of August, G.O has updated for the 7th time? I say let the invasion continue! So yes, on the evening of 10 August, our beloved main vocal updated once again with a pic of himself with our beautiful leader, Yang Seungho. Kyaaa!!

The Soulful Countdown to G.O’s Discharge ~ Day 538

Three days. Six updates. On the evening of 6 August, G.O blessed his Instagram account (and us) with yet another update. I can only surmise that since he has most likely been free from work and military duty, he took advantage of being able to communicate with us full tilt. I don’t know about any of you, but he certainly made my otherwise mundane weekend one of the more exciting and memorable ones of 2017.

The Soulful Countdown to G.O’s Discharge ~ Day 536

With barely time to catch our breath after the double-duty survival report updates of August 3rd, G.O surprised us again with yet another update the very next evening. I hope he knows he is now creating not only a need to see him every day, but expectation as well! Well, maybe for some, anyway. I am going to try to keep my desire (and greed) to a minimum but still cannot contain my delight over G.O’s third update for the month of August.
