When Your Bias Becomes A Movie Star

Screen Shot 2016-01-09 at 9.35.15 AM

We all knew MBLAQ’s main vocal man was up to something. His mysterious Instagram posts were tantalizing yet revealed nothing solid in way of exactly what he was doing. Speculations were high. Since he is pretty much a triple threat when it comes to entertainment (sing, act, dance), anything was possible and he, more than capable. The reveal came today a little past 11:00AM KST and it was every bit as exciting as we thought it would be!

Some Kings Come Without A Crown

My Crown is in my heart, not on my head. ~ Shakespeare

On December 20, 2015, the sweet and mellifluous sounds of the gentle Bungeuppang returned to the King of Masked Singer stage. Although he did not advance to get the opportunity to de-crown the reigning king, he nevertheless left an indelible impression on both the audience and judges by quietly laying claim to a new kingdom he forged in their hearts with his passionate and heartfelt renditions of 광화문 연가 [Gwanghwamun Sonata] and 너를 위해 [For You].

Beautiful Byung Hee Birthday Man

Birthday Byung Hee

Today is Byung Hee’s birthday (well, Seoul time). His 29th. I struggle to find ways that would celebrate him in the manner and to the extent he deserves. I come up empty. Empty because nothing would be remotely adequate. He deserves to be celebrated. Not just today, but every day. I am going to go all new age-y on you here for moment and say (with honesty and certainty), there are simply not many like him who grace Earth and allow us the honor of such presence. I am of the opinion that there are those people who walk among us who hold special light. Those marked for greatness. Those destined to shine. MBLAQ’s main vocal man G.O is one of those beings. And I am not shy about telling everyone that over and over!

[event] Merry MBLAQ Christmas Packages

G.O MBLAQ christmas Announcement Blog

Since eternally pledging my heart and support to MBLAQ’s deeply passionate main vocal man, G.O, I have felt the trickle down effect of his gracious and generous spirit which in turn continually compels me to give and share. With Christmas on the horizon, I thought it a perfect time to plan an event to celebrate the holiday and to do so with G.O and MBLAQ flavor. Hence, the Merry MBLAQ Christmas Package!

[series] 116 Reasons to Love Byung Hee: #11 ~ It Takes Deux

2015-09-16-12_00_51-hitebb688ed9b84ec9d98ebaa85eab3a12immortal-songs-2-eca780ec98a4eca095ed9dacmblaqjung-hee-ec82aceb9e91ebb3b4eb8ba4eab98aec9d80-e1442431143627

Duet. A performance by two people, especially singers. Two voices locked in perfect harmony, emotion and delivery. But, it is more than that. In a July 2012 interview with ABC News about sharing the stage with another vocalist in a duet, R&B singer Robin Thicke summed it up nicely when he said:

“It’s not about singing with perfect pitch or timing, it’s about feeling. All art is supposed to create feeling and if you sing with passion and you sing from your soul then people will feel it.”

People will feel it. I think he was talking about G.O, right? There is perhaps no truer way to describe the type of vocalist G.O set out to become and thus accomplished: A vocalist who sings with passion from the soul. Indeed. It may seem that all of the passion, emotion and feeling he brings to a song could not possibly be tempered (or matched) when partnered in a duet. I assure you, however, there is something special about the way G.O settles into a duet and lends his passion, emotion and feeling to the dynamic. For me, this is yet another reason to love this very talented man and his incredible artistry as a vocalist.
