Musing While Cruising the Hallyu Highway
Legend has it that a true test of vocal acuity in the K-pop ranks can be best tested by the singer’s ability to sing So Chan Whee’s Tears, in its original key. Apparently, this is no small feat. Tears was released in 2000 and was (and continues to be) Chan Whee’s most remembered song. Back in July 2018, four of the A.C.E lads guested on Idol League and host, Boom challenged Donghun to sing Tears . . . but not before the other three decided to give it a try. Oh, the chaos!
I have been patiently waiting for another Hunnie Cam day. I could probably make every day a cam day because watching Donghun perform is one of my favorite things. I think what I want to accomplish here (in addition to helping make these days move a little quicker) is to show more sides of him through variety appearances, vlogs, Vlives, etc. That is not to say that hearing him sing and watching him dance in and of themselves is not enough to show various sides of him – they are. But, variety is the spice of life. Anyway, I LOVE the fan cam pull of the day. Heading back to summer of 2019 and the FCMM Concert to allow Mr. Lee to take us higher.
Something short and sweet for Day 31. How about Donghun taking on a Cosmopolitan TikTok Challenge? Wearing bright red with bright red highlights in his fluffy hair, our Dong Dong tries to hop on the gravy train.
So many selcas, and so many days ahead to share them! About 610 days at that. Well, it is a good thing that all of the members of A.C.E are prodigious selca masters. The only problem I face on Donghun’s Selca Magic days is which selca I will choose to share. Let’s see, there is pouty Donghun, sexy Donghun, playful Donghun, flirtatious Donghun, coy Donghun, etc. The list can go on and on. I like the idea of coy Donghun for today.
It seems the DH One Shots up until this point have been stunning representations of Donghun’s handsomeness and beauty. I think it is fair to say that Donghun is both handsome and beautiful. Where handsome generally lies on the surface, beauty can go much deeper. So yeah, in my estimation he is both. Today, however, I am parking handsome and beauty to the side, and will travel along the Donghun cheeky and playful highway for this one shot GIF.
I cannot remember exactly when the ASMR craze started but I think it was somewhere around 2018 or so. It seemed everyone jumped on the amplified whisper bandwagon, including some of our favorite K-pop groups. A.C.E was no exception offering up some fun ASMR moments via their VLive channel which included an ASMR reading of song lyrics. Back in February 2020, Donghun took the ASMR mic and shared a reading of the groups second single release following debut, Callin’.
I have to admit that in my last countdown series, I got decent mileage out of using the alphabet. That is, creating posts that use a letter of the alphabet as a prompt. With 26 letters in the English alphabet, that affords me an additional 26 ways to write about Donghun. Thus, The ABC’s of Donghun is born on this 25th day of his enlistment. Probably should have started on Day 26 just to be cheeky, but why wait?
I think it is safe to conclude that when A.C.E decides to hit the streets for a busking event, it doubles as a free fan meeting. There are no minimum requirements to attend, just mark the date and time on your calendar and show up for the show. The takeaway is an afternoon (or evening) filled with memories of an impromptu performance. Such was the case at the Han River back on November 23, 2019, when fans were treated with some extraordinarily cute moments of a very handsome Donghun in blue suit and tie, flashing his gorgeous smile (eye smiles included) and his customary fabulous vocals.
It’s a good thing there were five doctors in the house for A.C.E’s July 12, 2019 fan sign at Arc.N.Book Bookstore in Seoul because I am sure there were multiple cases of racing heartbeats and uncontrollable heart flutter in the building that day. Paging Dr. Lee, Dr. Park, Drs. Kim and Dr. Kang! Seriously, what a cute concept, even when coupled with the explosive choreography of Under Cover, which is my Hunnie Cam offering today. Bring your smelling salts…hehe.
How about today we go for a Vocal Magic moment that served as a vocal warm up prior to an actual recording? Instead of breath work, vocal runs or other vocal exercises to prepare the voice to sing, Donghun warms up with Sam Smith’s Too Good at Goodbyes and gives us a lovely vocal magic moment in time.
