The Soulful Countdown to G.O’s Discharge ~ Day 464

~ Michele ~ Leave a comment

G.O is unquestionably the magnet that pulls the compass of my heart in his direction, in every way. True, I am smitten. And indeed every picture I see is his best, every performance better than the last and every fan sign fancam a golden treasure of his devout fan service. I have visited the 31 July 2011 Mokdong fan sign here on the Countdown awhile ago, but that was by way of photographs. Today is Fan-Camming Friday, and I want to return to Mokdong and that particular fan sign because I am simply in the mood for a soft G.O, in both his style and in the tranquil and sometimes coy gazes within which he looked out into the room at his loving A+.

The Soulful Countdown to G.O’s Discharge ~ Day 463

It has been so long since I reached into the Sesame Player treasure chest to grab a G.O-centric scene from a random episode. Thursdays are known for their throwback moments so I figured it would be a good day to revisit the hallowed chambers of the Fragrant Interview from Episode 4 to hear G.O’s thoughts on idol etiquette along with a side order of mandatory aegyo and a rather cheeky rolling paper dance. Yes, the fun-filled elements of this show continue to entertainment me even after multiple views.

I am going to declare with great confidence that MBLAQ indeed has produced more than one capable actor among its members. G.O’s supporting role as Director Jeon Dong Gil in the thoughtful comedy, 아빠는 딸 [Daddy You, Daughter Me] may not have given him many scenes or pages of dialogue, but it did prove a few things. I am going to take this 462nd day of G.O’s service to point them out.

The Soulful Countdown to G.O’s Discharge ~ Day 461

I will agree that I have been stuck in 2014 for the past couple of weeks. It was a rough year, I know. But for me, it was also a magical year and those magical moments are the ones I focus on when I think of 2014. Back on Day 245 and Day 353, I featured pictures from G.O’s cheeky, adorable and gorgeous pictorial in the May  2014 issue of Campus Job & Joy Magazine. Well, there are two more pictures in that series that I have yet to share. In keeping with my 2014 momentum, I share one of those pictures for today’s G.O One Shot offering.

The Soulful Countdown to G.O’s Discharge ~ Day 460

The third letter of the alphabet is C and admittedly, I could get through this post with ease with any number of words that accurately describe G.O. Cute, charming, cuddly, etc. But, as I mentioned when I began this sub-category to the Countdown series, I want to dig deeper and find unordinary words that describe the extraordinary Byung Hee.

The Soulful Countdown to G.O’s Discharge ~ Day 459

While it is true that the majority of us are missing G.O as he completes his military service, you have to agree that he has been diligent and consistent in providing us updates (or as I like to call them, survival reports) throughout the course of his time away thus far. I mean, he has been REAL generous. Since February of this year, he seems to be on track with giving us monthly updates. He hit us hard for May (and it is only the middle of the month) with his Instagram post on the 13th. I think the squees, sighs and screams were heard worldwide when he hit the send button. Seriously.

The Soulful Countdown to G.O’s Discharge ~ Day 457

As I continue my remembrance of G.O’s impressive portrayal of Prince Ho Dong in 바람의나라 [The Kingdom of the Winds], I turn today’s Fan-Camming Friday cam to one of his more sublime moments in the musical both as a vocalist and actor. When we meet Ho Dong for the first time, his mother Queen Yeon, has already passed away leaving him vulnerable and alone. Yet in a scene that is perhaps a dream or a vision, Ho Dong and Yeon sing together. For me, the two of them singing together was one of the truly poignant moments in the show. And vocally, it was astounding.

The Soulful Countdown to G.O’s Discharge ~ Day 456

Taking this journey back to The Kingdom of the Winds has flooded my heart with emotion. It is the poignancy of G.O’s performance that calls me back over and over again to revisit the moments he spent on the Seoul Arts Center stage. Today I am offering a Vocal Virtuosity moment, but not from the stage. I choose the moment G.O and his co-star from the musical, Go Young Bin visited the Culture Bookmark show, talked about the musical, and performed the haunting 무휼과 호동의 노래 [Muhyul and Hodong’s Song].

The Soulful Countdown to G.O’s Discharge ~ Day 455

By the end of Act One in 바람의나라 [The Kingdom of the Winds], it was clear that young and gentle Prince Hodong was resolved in his heart and mind to follow in his father’s footsteps, declaring not only to his protective and wise spirit animal the phoenix, Byungari, but to himself, that he could be the king his father wanted him to be.  But his phoenix knew Hodong better and what was more important, Byungari knew the dangers and treachery within the kingdom and how unsafe it was for Hodong. She also knew that in his heart he doubted his ability to rule a kingdom. Still, Hodong rebelled against the phoenix and began to emulate his father’s warrior nature. Today’s G.O One Shot comes in .gif form of the young prince making it known to his questioning spirit animal that he will be the warrior king his father wants him to be.

The Soulful Countdown to G.O’s Discharge ~ Day 454

I loved all of 바람의나라 [The Kingdom of the Winds] from the music to the costumery, to the incredible visuals, music, and the story itself (even though it was sad). It was a feast for all of the senses. And that G.O was a part of it made it even more magical. But I think one of my favorite things about the show was the element of fantasy and the fact that there were spirit animal protectorates for the King and Prince. Even sweeter was the fact that Ho Dong’s protectorate was a phoenix, who although similar in age to the young prince with a playful child-like nature, was still full of strength and wisdom. Today, a Playful G.O moment from the musical stage between Prince Ho Dong and his 병아리.
