The Soulful Countdown to G.O’s Discharge ~ Day 135

There was something very regal, majestic and somewhat medieval about the jewelry and accessory designs of Macos Adamas. The crowns. The swords. The shields. Very King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table! Inasmuch as no one was going to replicate the style and status of Chrome Hearts, many young Korean artists, actors, and performers were still happy to endorse and wear the many eclectic and stylish pieces of jewelry and eyewear Macos Adamas was offering. Including that handsome young knight above.

The Soulful Countdown to G.O’s Discharge ~ Day 134

When music chose G.O it was most likely with the understanding that he would not be limited to only singing. It was going to be full immersion which included writing, composing and arranging. Thankfully, there are many avenues an artist of his caliber can take when music becomes his life force. The OST is indeed one of those avenues. And ok. it may have been helpful that G.O’s bandmate was cast in Iris II, but I believe 바보같 은나 [What A Fool I Am] would have landed on its OST (or any other, for that matter) because not only is it perfect OST material, it is simply a well-written song.

The Soulful Countdown to G.O’s Discharge ~ Day 132

Today marks G.O’s 132nd day of service which puts him officially under 600 days remaining!

The Soulful Countdown to G.O’s Discharge ~ Day 129

Part of idol culture is to periodically make appearances at award shows, movie or television drama premiers, press conferences and the occasional product or service launch party. So in addition to being able to see your bias on the stage or listen to him  (or her) via the magic of digital recording, seeing them out and about at various events gives a added boost of excitement, and usually some pictures and potentially some video footage.

The Soulful Countdown to G.O’s Discharge ~ Day 128

By the second to last episode of the Korean drama 유령[Ghost/Phantom], the Cyber Crime Unit of detectives led by Kim Woo Hyun (So Ji Sub) were starting to gel at last as a team. When brusque and salty Detective Kwan Hyuk Joo (Kwak Do Won) gathers the team for an afternoon picnic, it could easily have been considered a team building retreat of sorts. The underlying reason for the getaway, however, was far more serious and instead of butting heads (as they had been doing for 18 episodes), they finally came together to begin to truly unravel the mysteries and conspiracies of the rash of murders the show revolved around.
