The Soulful Countdown to G.O’s Discharge ~ Day 496

~ Michele ~ 2 Comments

I think you might be hard-pressed to find another who can make a face mask as sexy of a fashion accessory as G.O can. He proves it time and time again that a small piece of fabric that operates as either something to secure his health or serves to allow him to travel somewhat incognito, is never obstructive and hardly reduces the amount of handsome that oozes from the very being of his charismatic presence. I shuffled through some airport pictures and came across MBLAQ’s return to Seoul from México back in August 2013, and found one of my favorites of his casual styles: the man capris, fashionable t-shirt, conductor cap and yes, ok, even that (why must he cover his beautiful lips) face mask.

The Soulful Countdown to G.O’s Discharge ~ Day 492

Happy Friday! Another work week is coming to a close for our charming enlisted man and it is almost time to relax and enjoy the weekend. For this Fan-Camming Friday, I wanted something short, simple, quick and cute. I also was in the mood for a fan sign cam. There were definitely a lot of fun and antics going on at the many fan signs that took place during Sexy Beat promotions, and this short cam moment for today could indeed be one of them as our mischievous G.O turns the tables on fans by pointing a camera at them.

The Soulful Countdown to G.O’s Discharge ~ Day 490

When it comes to the sixth letter of the alphabet, my mind becomes inundated with a myriad of words all of which are fitting in describing the fantastic G.O. Lately, with all of his updates and specifically his recent chat session, he has been fanning the fire in my heart, igniting a fierce impatience for his return as we attempt to navigate the final 241 days of his service. My theme for this post is about fire. The fire he brings to the stage that is undoubtedly born from the artistic fires that burn inside his creative soul. Today, F is for Fiery.

The Soulful Countdown to G.O’s Discharge ~ Day 489

~ Michele ~ 2 Comments

In his recent chat session back on 11 June at MBLAQ’s Daum Cafe, G.O mentioned, “It’s normally the people who have a good sense of fashion that wear black clothes; But I’m wearing them only because I’m bad at choosing clothes.” When I read that my first thought was, he’s not serious, is he?! I found it quite amusing that he said he was not good at choosing clothes to wear when I have been recently gushing over his airport style (and style in general) and the fact that he has incredible fashion sense, always looks very well put together and basically is good at choosing clothes! This would include my choice for today when MBLAQ was en route to Chile for a Music Bank performance back in November 2012.

Where do begin for this Fan-Camming Friday? I had my heart set on one cam and then became totally undone when I found a different cam for a different song from the same show. It was then that I was promptly reminded that the 13-year old squealing fangirl that I thought had matured somewhat and settled into the fact that she was residing in a not so young anymore middle-aged woman, returned with a boisterous vengeance. It has been awhile since I watched a cam and screamed at the monitor the entire time but this is exactly what happened when I watched G.O rip into the fierce, flirtatious and fervid Oh Yeah back on 13 June 2010 in Iksan.

I don’t know about you, but I am rather enjoying these moments looking back at G.O’s airport style. Back in June 2012, the men of MBLAQ were embarking upon their Blaq% Asia Tour and on the 28th of the month were Indonesia bound. Casual, comfortable and dangerously handsome (as always), I once again love how G.O can take something as simple as a white t-shirt, track suit pants and baseball cap and still make it look sophisticated. Let’s break it down and have a closer look, shall we?

It has been over a month since I offered a Windows To Your Soul ~ The G.O Eye Connect post here on the Countdown. It is not that I am slacking, it is just that I need to build up some resistance to G.O’s penetrating gaze. Back in April 2011, he all of about left a few hearts shipwrecked during MBLAQ’s performance at Kang Hwa Island. The wonderful A Lucky Day and SoulStar were successful in capturing his attention while pointing their cameras at him. Once he locked in, he let all kinds of flirtatious sweetness and charm invade their lenses.

The Soulful Countdown to G.O’s Discharge ~ Day 473

It is now June 2017 and even as we move closer to G.O’s discharge from the Army, I am still nostalgic for many things in the past. With June’s arrival, I cannot help but think back on MBLAQ’s comeback as a trio in 2015. As exciting as it was, there was still a sense of the unknown as to what the new music would sound like (it was and still remains great) as well as what the trio dynamic would be like (that too, was and still remains great). Since the future is uncertain, we really only have the now, and we definitely have the then. For my G.O One Shot today, I travel back to the days leading up to the release of Mirror and relive the sensational excitement of the teaser photo released in anticipation of the comeback.

The Soulful Countdown to G.O’s Discharge ~ Day 472

Is it possible to find a Vocal Virtuosity moment during a Korean game show? Absolutely! Back in April 2011, our main vocal man along with leader Seung Ho appeared on 1 vs. 100, a game show that was originally developed by a Dutch-based media company that saw its concept grow worldwide. Along with many other countries, South Korea had its version as well. The basic concept pitted one contestant against a panel consisting of 100 people. If the contestant was able to eliminate the entire 100 by answering questions correctly, he or she would walk away with a large cash prize. Frankly, I am not sure I would be able to answer anything after hearing G.O sing. Even the few bars of 다시 [Again] stun me. However, it makes for a perfect short and sweet Vocal Virtuosity moment for Day 472 and, there is a bonus: he sings with Seung Ho.

The Soulful Countdown to G.O’s Discharge ~ Day 471

One of the five million things I absolutely adore about G.O is how he is the perfect balance of fiercely masculine and achingly tender. On either side of those spectrums are numerous examples of each. Today I opt for a fiercely masculine moment which will always be best displayed during a performance of 저쟁이야 [This Is War]. Even at the fiercest moments of Run, Stay or even Oh Yeah, nothing matches the furious vocals, choreography or penetratingly intense gazes that This Is War brings. Couple that with black on black on black costumery and the performance becomes all that more powerful. There really is nothing that can remotely temper G.O’s intensity during any This Is War performance. It definitely was present at the Busan Catholic University show back in May 2012. In fact, that kind of intensity only amplified the charisma and handsomeness that oozed from the stage that day. It is Fan-Camming Friday and a blast of G.O intensity is the perfect way to usher in the weekend.
