Musing While Cruising the Hallyu Highway
Today’s Fan-ART-astic moment comes courtesy of one my fave fan art artists, Woorugo. I did not realize Woorugo created a rendition of G.O from his appearance on King of Mask Singer so when I first saw it, I was floored and flooded with emotion. Then again, Woorugo’s art always hits me straight in the heart.

I know I cannot possibly be the only one of G.O’s fans who, in addition to love hearing him sing, finds his speaking voice equally charming and soothing. Lately, I have been taking a different approach to learning Korean. Instead of initially pouring over a textbook, I have decided to log hours of just listening. Remember the Sweet Music Box broadcast on SBS radio G.O did back in 2010 with Jung Go Eun? Those have been my constant listening skills teaching companion this past month. It is helping but since I really love the tone and timbre of G.O’s voice, I get easily distracted from the task at hand. Nevertheless, learning this way is actually a pleasurable experience. But what does this have to do with anything? Well, it is Fan-Camming Friday and I decided upon a cam from the 15 April 2012 Daejeon fan sign where fans were regaled with one of G.O’s cheeky discussions.

This is it G.Oddess . . . the last 100 days!!! Can you feel the energy and excitement growing? Are you as anxious as I am to see what G.O has in store for us when he returns? Throughout this countdown series I have been trying to not let my excitement get too out of hand as we chipped away at the days of his service. But I think now that we are left with only 100 days . . . yeah, I think we can all start to get a little crazy. In one hundred days, G.O will be back!
~100 Days!~
Are any of you hopeless romantics like me yet lose sight of the fact that you are? I am sure there are a few of you out there. You know, had your heartbroken a couple few times but on a good day somehow feel that love is still transcendent? Sometimes when I look back at G.O’s roles in either Pure Love or Couples Clinic, I am reminded that I am indeed a hopeless and quite often, helpless romantic. My G.O One Shot today is a little shot of some G.O romantic from Pure Love.

Back on 4 November, G.O took to his Instagram account and uploaded a couple of scenic photographs, one of which seemed to indicate that he was in fact visiting Tokyo’s own Magic Kingdom. We had already been given reason to believe G.O was in Japan when he earlier (2 November) posted a picture of the Yoshinoya restaurant sign. With his 4 November updates, G.O’s ardent Japanese fans recognized that he had indeed visited Tokyo Disneyland.

This may be a Monday and the 628th day of G.O’s service, but it is also the 6th of November. On the surface it may seem like a day like any other. However, it is far more special. Back in 1987, a celestial event occurred on this day. Jung Byung Hee was born. Here we are again celebrating G.O’s birthday, the second time around as an enlisted man. Only this time, there is not another long year ahead of us to navigate awaiting his return. No, not on this birthday. G.O now has 103 days remaining in his service which, if you want to break that down equals 3 months, 1 week, 4 days, 16 hours, 19 minutes and 59 seconds, to be exact. Yes . . . I am counting!
Happy Birthday to the sweetest, most humorous, intelligent, and talented man I know. Happy Birthday to my dearest Byung Hee!
~🎂🎉❤️🎉🎂~
As we inch towards G.O’s final 100 days of service, I cannot help but feel a sense of urgency to cheer both him and his fans on to the finish line. What theme song could be more appropriate than his solo song from the Mr. 아이돌 OST, Believe? It also serves as an equally wonderful addition to the Vocal Virtuosity files.

Ok, so on 2 November, G.O took to his Instagram account with a mysterious picture update. He posted a picture of the popular Japanese food chain Yoshinoya pulling all of our G.O-radar antennae in the direction of Japan. Could he be in Japan? Possibly. Then on the evening of 3 October, G.O updated once again. This time from what possibly was the men’s room of an establishment say…like a restaurant? With no captions or hashtags, G.O is keeping us guessing. However, where he is currently is not important. What is important is that he continues to spoil us with updates. And seductive ones at that.

Amazingly, I have let over 600 days pass without giving G.O.O.D Luv proper love and attention here on the Countdown. Shame on me because it is one of those songs that have a way of just making you smile and feel good. With its infectious beat and catchy choreography I would think that it most probably was (and is) a fan favorite and iconic in its own right as an MBLAQ pop song. I always love watching the joy in the performance the guys brought to the stage, even when effectuated in one very extravagant suit jacket. More nostalgia today for Fan-Camming Friday with a focused G.O.O.D Luv cam from the Family Science Festival performance on 24 April 2010.

Since it is Thursday, I thought it would be nice to throw things back to 2009, and to the artful lens of A Lucky Day. The series of photographs she captured back on 1 December 2009 when G.O and Mir appeared on MNET’s Open Studio are each gorgeous captures that could have easily been shot this year, or even last week (you know, before he exiled the goatee). Seriously. So today a little nostalgic beanie chic from our ageless wonder of a main vocal.
