The Soulful Countdown to G.O’s Discharge ~ Day 692

ABCs of G.O V is for Virile

I know it is my extreme bias talking here but if we take a moment to discuss who is likely the most virile member in MBLAQ, G.O definitely holds the title. I mean, you have to agree to some extent that his virility was soundly in place perhaps even prior to his debut with MBLAQ. Am I right? I think maybe G.O was simply born virile. Hence, it is the perfect adjective to describe him as we further our way through the ABC’s of G.O here on the countdown.

The Soulful Countdown to G.O’s Discharge ~ Day 691

I know that when it comes to 낙서 [Scribble], G.O does not have very much vocal time. In fact, he barely has any and often shares vocal time in the song with Seungho. But what he does for the song is give it richness. His voice is the seasoning that flavors and enhances the emotion of the song. In the moments we do get to hear the honey of G.O’s voice, we are once again reminded of his virtuosity and that is why I will always place 낙서 [Scribble] among all other Vocal Virtuosity moments here on the countdown.

If he captures you in his gaze, you can rest assured there will be no defense adequate enough to fight and/or escape the magnetic pull of the charismatic aura that oozes from and surrounds G.O. The early captures from fans A Lucky Day  and Letsgoinho are a true testament to this fact. Each could teach a course on how to weather the G.O gaze as they certainly have been caught in the direct line of his fiery stare, all to my absolute delight. For when G.O locks upon a camera’s lens, the photographer becomes a conduit for the fans who then get to experience what it feels like to lock eyes with him. It has been a while since I had a Windows To Your Soul ~ The G.O Eye Connect post on the countdown, so I am ready for the challenge. And, the steady cam of letsgoinho combined with the raw intensity of 전쟁이야 [This Is War] from the 17 January 2012 Beautiful Concert is the perfect choice for the 690th day of G.O’s service.

The Soulful Countdown to G.O’s Discharge ~ Day 688

Today I felt like a fun, frolicking kind of fan-cam for Fan-Camming Friday. Now with the new year in full swing and the days remaining in G.O’s military service growing less and less, I cannot help but keep the mood here lively and uplifted. As you know I joined the fandom late and lost out on experiencing a lot of the interactions MBLAQ had with other groups that had debuted in and around the time they did. Even though I am not well-versed in K-pop history, I think it is safe to say that there was a camaraderie between the groups then that is not nearly as prevalent in the third generation idols of today. But, I could be wrong since I admit that I do not follow nor do I have any interest in the third generation. Fortunately, I can still visit that second gen camaraderie and share a little bit of it today from the Idol Sport Competition of January 2011 featuring our playful main vocal with SHINee’s leader, Onew.

The Soulful Countdown to G.O’s Discharge ~ Day 687

I needed a moment to drink it all in. And then I needed a moment to let the news swirling around on New Year’s Day settle in that my beloved bias was dating. More importantly, I needed G.O himself to confirm the reports. I told myself I would not blog about it, nor share any news about it on the G.O International Fan Club site unless or until G.O himself confirmed what the press was saying: that he was and has been for months, dating actress Choi Ye Seul. And, he did. Yes, my forthright and blissfully happy bias confirmed the news on 2 January 2018 with a selca and message to his fans.

The Soulful Countdown to G.O’s Discharge ~ Day 686

Ever since acquainting myself with G.O and learning a little bit about his artistic journey, I have been on a quest to find as many copies of Tykeys’ Ty Project No. 1, literally the first full studio album he recorded (to my knowledge any way). When I find a copy, I buy it. This past week, I found another copy so that always seems to ignite my desire to revisit Tykeys’ performances and it occurred to me that 연상연하 [Old & Young], one of the two singles released from the album was a perfect candidate for a Vocal Virtuosity moment. Specifically, the live performance from the Tykeys showcase way back in February or March 2007. The studio version is great. But my favorite live version, vocally speaking, is the showcase performance. Continue reading “The Soulful Countdown to G.O’s Discharge ~ Day 686” →

Today seems like another good day for a quick G.O Dance Break. In fact, I think I may see a pattern here as it is another Saturday dance break moment. Perhaps Saturday dance breaks should be the norm here on the countdown going forward in order to encourage us to always make the best of our weekends! Let’s take a trip back then today to G.O’s Coco & Marc days and the fine art of the body wave.

The Soulful Countdown to G.O’s Discharge ~ Day 681

I admit to having bouts of sentimentality, and there have been plenty throughout this countdown. I find myself today reminiscing over G.O’s last stage before he entered the army. It seems as if the culmination of his days of service and the momentum towards completion are filling me with a mixture of both nostalgia and eager anticipation. His last stage was a solo stage and his first stage following discharge may also turn out be a solo stage. See how this renders me simultaneously sentimental and excited?! I will let my nostalgia then carry us back on this Fan-Camming Friday to that last stage in February 2016 [I.Callist Idol Vocal Concert] with G.O’s moving performance of 사랑은 차가운 유혹 [Love Is A Cold Temptation].

As I sat down to contemplate the next installment of The ABC’s of G.O, I discovered the letter U to be surprisingly adjective-friendly but am settling on one that is most pertinent given the fact that G.O has been away from the music and entertainment scene for nearly two years now. I have done my very best here over these past 680 days to join in the plight of making and keeping G.O . . . unforgettable.

Friends, I am not sure there could be a better Christmas gift this year than the second one G.O gave us on Christmas Day. Looking beyond handsome in the coziness of a warm wool turtleneck sweater, he updated his Instagram account letting us know:

나도샀다아이폰X
#응카메라화질너무좋고사실적으로나와버려서어플없이는셀카엄두도못내는것

[I too bought an iPhone X. #yesthisphonecameraspicturequalityissoniceIcouldnottakeaselfiewithoutcameraapp.]

#Adorable

This precious man continues on his mission to spoil his fans in the best way possible. He spoils us by giving us more of him.

*L♥VE*
