The Soulful Countdown to G.O’s Discharge ~ Day 577

If I told you you were beautiful, would you date me on the regular?

Sometimes a Vocal Virtuosity moment shows up when I least expect it. So as you all know, I joined the MBLAQ party train late in the game. As a result, I missed a lot. A-LOT. Even if G.O had to complete four years of military service I still do not think that would give me enough time to see, hear and experience everything he has done these past ten years he has been living his dream as a singer, composer and actor. There is SO MUCH. I love it of course as it is keeping me busy while he is away. So today I discovered something I had not seen (or heard) before and I knew immediately that I wanted to secure it in the Vocal Virtuosity archives. I know all of you dedicated MBLAQ-philes remember the ETN Entertainment News Interview back on 23 June 2010. You also know then that even if it was brief, G.O covered some Justin Timberlake.

The Soulful Countdown to G.O’s Discharge ~ Day 572

Ten days into the month of September and the updates continue. In his latest posted in the early evening hours of 10 September, G.O recycled the caption of his previous update once again captioning his upload that these days he is really happy. His really happy is making our Sunday before a long work week that much more sweeter. Agree? Happy-laced survival reports are quickly becoming my favorite.

The Soulful Countdown to G.O’s Discharge ~ Day 563

Yes, it is time for another One Shot and today, it comes in .GIF form. Even though I have not yet written about G.O’s participation in the SBS Gayo Daejeon’s Colors of K-Pop, I cannot resist sharing this behind-scenes-moment .gif where in a few short seconds we experience G.O’s soulful gaze followed by radiant smile. It is exactly what my heart desires at this very moment. And once you see it, you will realize you probably desire it as well.

The Soulful Countdown to G.O’s Discharge ~ Day 559

It is Day 559 and for no particular reason, a nice day to share some fan art. I really like Fan-ART-astic days and am happy I added this little sub-category to the countdown because there is some truly fantastic fan art out there that should shared and supported. Today, a piece from Czech artist Staresinka.

The Soulful Countdown to G.O’s Discharge ~ Day 555

If you have been taking this countdown journey with me these past 555 days (and even visited well before then), you know how much I love to talk about G.O’s beauty ~ both inner and outer. Yeah, it is pretty much a mainstay here mostly because I never grow tired of talking about it, and also because he consistently gives me reasons to celebrate his gentle but ever potent beauty. I know I have become redundant but still, it will never stop me from saying it one more time! Maybe I need to create a new vocabulary or language designed just for him you know, to spice things up. How very Tolkien of me! That sounds too complex actually and I rather like to keep it simple! Today is a Fan-Camming Friday day and I decided I am going to keep it short and simple on the cam end, but supplement the post with a bounty of G.O’s beauty captured at Music Bank Hong Kong on 23 June 2012.

The Soulful Countdown to G.O’s Discharge ~ Day 545

When I made the decision to do this countdown series I remember telling myself that I would mostly post pictures with occasional videos. My goal was to just memorialize each day because in the back of my head, I knew 730 days meant 730 posts and to be quite honest, I wasn’t sure I was up to the task. I figured posting a picture a day would not be overly demanding and I would be able to honor G.O each day as he completed his service. It seems I am incapable of restraining myself when it comes to G.O. So whenever I come to a G.O One Shot day, I am reminded of my original plan and just smile. Best laid plans, right? My last One Shot picture was from The Black Pearl. I share another from that series today.

The Soulful Countdown to G.O’s Discharge ~ Day 543

I think my desire to start posting more fan art is so I can look at that adorable picture of G.O up there with his dinosaur drawing! He just looks so cute and the overall composition of the picture is very warm and inviting. The soft pillows, the beautiful trees, the way the sunlight is filtering through the windows. It kind of sets the stage for art, doesn’t it? Today’s offering comes from Russian artist, Lera Pak.

The Soulful Countdown to G.O’s Discharge ~ Day 541

I think you will agree that the best G.O fan-camming moments are generally those captured of him singing – at least I know they are my personal favorite. There are some days though when I just like to watch him engage with fans and talk, even when I don’t understand all of what he is saying. This might sound a bit quirky, but to my ears, G.O has an equally nice speaking voice. The lower tone in his voice may not be as deep as say, Joon’s, but it has a deep resonance about it that is incredibly soothing to the ear (and heart). If you really want to get a taste of it, listen to him during radio broadcasts (especially the Sweet Music Box  series he did with Jung Ga Eun). My Fan-Camming Friday offering today then is a little bit of G.O’s gentle speaking voice as he interacted with fans at the Lecaf fan sign in Busan back on 16 February 2013.

The Soulful Countdown to G.O’s Discharge ~ Day 539

MBLAQ has visited the Beatles Code studios a few times over the course of their cumulative variety show appearances all of which have been very entertaining. But do you recall the radiance of G.O during the 20 January 2011 episode? Definitely worth a capture in .gif form and a perfect offering for our G.O One Shot for today. *deep sigh*
