The Soulful Countdown to G.O’s Discharge ~ Day 353

~ Michele ~ Leave a comment

Way back on Day 245, I talked about the wonderful spring G.O was enjoying in 2014. With two critically acclaimed musicals and a comeback with MBLAQ, he was riding high and seeing quite a bit of press coverage which included landing on the cover of a couple of magazines. Pretty cool! Day 245 was a G.O One Shot day (like today). At that time, I shared a couple of beautiful shots from Campus Job & Joy and said I would not crowd that one shot post with all of the pictures contained in the article as each deserved its own moment to shine. Today is another One Shot day where I will let another moment from that May 2014 issue of Campus Job & Joy charm you.

The Soulful Countdown to G.O’s Discharge ~ Day 352

It is difficult to come by definitive and clear facts regarding everything there is to know about Tykeys. And I suppose that is all well and fine because what we do have in way of pictures and video prove to me that they were an incredibly talented neo-soul R&B sensation that simply did not get the recognition they deserved. However bad the situation was when things ended for the group, it does not take away from the fact that they gave us some incredible music in one amazing album. For this 352nd day of G.O’s service, (and Fan-Camming Friday day), I share a moment of solo work from those early days. A clip of our soulful crooner backed by a live band singing one of his favorites, Wildflower.

The Soulful Countdown to G.O’s Discharge ~ Day 351

When I declare that MBLAQ’s amazing main vocal man G.O can sing anything, I mean it. Arguably, there are times when I may slip into some gentle exaggeration on certain things. However, when it comes to G.O’s voice and talent, I often feel that I do not say enough for I find it difficult sometimes to express how amazing I honestly believe he is. His journey fascinates me and I feel he has only scratched the surface of what he can do with his talent and that his evolution continues. Before I get too emotional here let’s refocus. Let’s go back to the Human Culture Awards, a perfect Throwback Thursday/Heavenly Collaboration (well, sort of) moment in December 2009 when our charming balladeer took a detour and let the tones of his mellifluous voice tickle us with some vintage trot.

The Soulful Countdown to G.O’s Discharge ~ Day 350

~ Michele ~ Leave a comment

I suppose it is rather obvious that I have been having deep (and perhaps emotional) longing to travel back in time to the spring of 2014 when everything seemed to be wonderfully in place for both G.O in his independent pursuits on the musical stage, as well as with MBLAQ as they settled into promoting their 6th (and truly brilliant) mini album, Broken. I left Seoul in mid-April of that year after a lengthy stay, and therefore missed the impromptu meet & greet G.O held in the lobby of the Universal Arts Theater on 5 May 2014. I was momentarily disappointed when I learned of that meet & greet, but that dissipated quickly as I reminded myself how fortunate I was in any event to have experienced not only G.O’s amazing fan service, but his incredible performance in 서편제 [Seopyeonje]. It is Day 350 and seems like a great day to celebrate G.O’s Fabled Fan Service as he met with fans back on that sunny day in early May.

The Soulful Countdown to G.O’s Discharge ~ Day 349

~ Michele ~ Leave a comment

It is pretty clear if you peruse the past 348 posts contained in this countdown series thus far that you could easily deem the majority of them as being nostalgic. With the exception of any that pertain to G.O’s actual enlistment and profile and/or selca picture updates that came thereafter, the series is kind of a retrospective on G.O’s career. Lately, I have been feeling particularly nostalgic for 2014 and I guess it is with good reason. The year 2014 was particularly meaningful for me as it was during that year I fell squarely (and safely) into one true bias land having discovered the irrepressible talent and charisma of G.O. It was my good fortune that not only was G.O prepping to hit the musical stage, MBLAQ was about to make a comeback with the release of their 6th mini album, Broken.

The Soulful Countdown to G.O’s Discharge ~ Day 348

How did I manage to come this far into this countdown series without talking about MBLAQ’s Cry MV?! Shame on me!!^^ This was after all the very first MBLAQ MV I ever viewed. As such, it holds some really special meaning. Not only that, from a purely visual and artistic standpoint, it is nothing short of electrifying. Day 348 of this countdown would be otherwise unremarkable indeed. But taking the time here today to revisit the visual splendor of G.O in the Cry MV pushes it to the forefront of perhaps being one of my favorites as we begin this new year inching towards discharge day.

Just another day here on The Fangirl Adventure Log where I get a chance to share another countdown moment. Almost a year into this series (and G.O’s service) and I show no signs of stopping or even slowing down, for that matter!^^ Today is a G.O One Shot day, and my selection is a little .gif from an August 2010 quick and sweet Sina interview. Another of the many vintage moments capturing G.O’s quiet and attractive charm.

새해 복 많이 받으세요!!

Happy New Lunar New Year!! It is officially the year of the Fire Rooster and I hope that our endearing Fire Rabbit, G.O has a wonderful year ahead ~ his final year service. I also wish all of you who stop by the blog to check in on this countdown series (and other posts) an amazing year as well. One filled with happiness, health, prosperity, love and . . . patience. Here’s a thought: when the year of the Rooster ends ushering in the year of the Dog, the very next day, G.O will be discharged. Yes! The lunar new year for 2018 is 16 February, and our furry fire rabbit completes his service on 17 February 2018. I have a feeling there is going to be quite a celebration!

Happy New Year!!

It’s Friday!! Happy Friday all and welcome to another installment of Fan-Camming Friday here on the Soulful Countdown to G.O’s Discharge. Sometimes Fridays are fluffy. You know, the end of the week to wind down and decompress – quiet, peaceful. Others are fierce. The work week is over, the weekend has arrived and it is time to get our fun on! Today’s Fan-Camming Friday is fierce in the guise of well, not necessarily fluff, but more like a collision of demure G.O with a sensually masculine G.O in the form of MBLAQ’s aggressive dance track, Y.

The Soulful Countdown to G.O’s Discharge ~ Day 344

There were many intense scenes played out on the musical stage during 서편제 [Seopyeonje]. The combative battle between stepfather and son during the argumentative 철없는 혈기 [Immature Passion] was particularly explosive. Imagine living day to day under the suffocating control of an abusive father, devastated by the loss of an adoring mother, and longing for the freedom to pursue a happier life. Watching G.O interpret the pain, confusion, and desperation of the tormented Dong Ho was simultaneously harrowing and magnificent; particularly so in the violent argument with an equally angered and volatile Yoo Bong.
