Musing While Cruising the Hallyu Highway
I admit to being envious of people whose artistic inclinations lean toward drawing and painting. I often said that if I could draw, I would be drawing G.O day and night. Probably a good thing I can’t draw or I would never sleep!

G.O on a variety program with the word golden in the title? Yes, that seems to make complete sense to me. To be honest, I am not 100% sure what this program is about, but what I do know is that there were some lovely golden G.O moments to enjoy in any event on the KBS network show, Golden Camera.

Lately I have been thinking a lot about G.O’s three musicals. All three were unique and different, all three were held in great esteem by theater-goers, fans and critics, and all three proved that G.O had a natural affinity towards musical theater. I cannot help but wonder what he was feeling taking his very first curtain call bows following his wonderful performance as Kang Hyun Woo in the politically charged jukebox musical, Gwanghwamun Sonata.

Would you agree that having a song on a drama OST and also showing up on the show constitutes a double bonus? And, wouldn’t it be made that much sweeter if that song was one you wrote and composed? Indeed. Such was the case for G.O and Mir’s 알고있었어 [I Already Knew]. They hit the trifecta for Channel A’s drama, K-pop 최강 서바이벌 [Strongest K-pop Star Survival], by appearing in the show, having a song on the OST, and being the writers and composers of that song.

Remember when you attached yourself officially to a bias and then began to scour the internet for anything about him (or her)? I have not even scratched the surface of all that is out there on this charming guy, but I am certainly grateful that I have not broken my internet yet with all of the research I have been doing these past 121 days. That said, I remember coming across this particular fan cam (oh, I am adding another subtitle segment called “Fan-Camming” and this is my first post for that sub) and was immediately held captive by G.O’s endearing fan service.

It’s Thursday in Seoul so why not a little throwback moment? Looking back on this November 2009 Elle Girl photo shoot and magazine spread, I cannot help but feel the early excitement the men of MBLAQ were experiencing as full on promotions really began to unfold following their debut. Continue reading “The Soulful Countdown to G.O’s Discharge ~ Day 120”
Ok, so even though I say that I am happy that I came to the MBLAQ party late in the game because I am not sure I would have been able to handle all of the OMG G.O moments real-time, I will confess that I really, really, REALLY wish I could have watched each and every episode of his Immortal Song 2 performances as they were being broadcast. Not only to take the journey to the depths of his heart via song, but also to enjoy his many moments interacting with the other vocalists, the audience, commentators and MCs.

Give the tender G.O four and a half minutes of your time and I guarantee he will melt and rearrange the DNA of your heart. His final performances on Immortal Song 2 were perhaps his most poignant and moving. Maybe I am overly emotional lately. Or, maybe I am just missing him because when I watch his performance of 사랑스런 그대 [Lovable You], it brings me to my emotional knees, so to speak.

The western A+ who have the least cause to complain about getting the lovable men of MBLAQ on their soil are the Latin A+, specifically Mexico and South America. The USA+ have yet to experience a music bank, for example. Or, see the ever-seductive G.O go completely Latin style a la vida loca! Latin A+ will never know how lucky they were to have experienced that incredible moment G.O gifted to all of them!

Today I asked myself: Do you think there are some pictures of G.O out there that you don’t like? I pondered for a moment and thought, impossible! I love them all! True, I will favor some over others. That’s natural. I will confess, however, that pictures displaying his resplendent smile are my favorites. Especially the ones taken by his fans capturing those un-planned/un-posed moments; moments of complete and true happiness. I have been missing that particular G.O smile very, very much.
