Have you ever had one of those in between days? You know, the kind that aren’t really good, but aren’t necessarily bad either? Where the mood of the day or your own mood teeters somewhere in the middle, neutral to everything? That was my day today. So by the time I got on my train to head home for the evening, I was looking to shake myself free from the neutral with something and that something turned out to be Episode 15 of the KBS wacky variety show, Idol Maknae Rebellion. Oh…what a perfect tonic it was to watch the antics of G.O and Mir.

By October 2013, G.O had made appearances in two dramas that aired that same year. Come November he was set to have his last Immortal Song 2 performance AND see the release of his second digital single, Play That Song. He had a lot going on so it was nice that K Culture decided to feature the charming men of MBLAQ in the pages of their magazine in mid-autumn 2013.

The night of September 15, 2012 was so very, very special. It was legend Yoon Shi Nae night on Immortal Song 2 and all of the planets aligned in G.O’s favor when he took the stage to sing the very haunting, 사랑의시 [Love’s Poetry].

Having the opportunity to write a little something every day about this talented guy affords me the opportunity to learn something new. For example, I did not know that G.O’s first solo OST song was his Believe from the Korean drama, Mr. Idol, released in October 2011.

As much as I honestly believe in my heart of hearts that G.O deserves and should record a solo album (if it is his dream or wish), he is and will always remain an amazing and powerful component in a group or duet. I wrote about his duet work in my 116 Reasons series and included his work with Brown Eyed Soul’s Jung Yup. When I look at the list of G.O’s duets over the course of his career, I’d have to say MNet’s A-Live performance of You Are My Lady is probably my favorite of G.O’s duets (if I am looking at his work outside of the parameters of either Tykeys or MBLAQ, that is).

It is true that my bias towards G.O will always have me believing and subsequently declaring that he is the sweetest, most talented, indeed most handsome and yes, sexiest artist I have ever had the pleasure of supporting, adoring, and some may say, obsessing over. With this series, I have tried to balance the offerings with some cute, some intensity, some incredible music and of course some sexy. For Day 99, I offer some bad because it is so very, very good. ^.~

Have you ever watched a drama based simply on the fact that your favorite vocalist had a song on the show’s OST? I did. And, I am not ashamed to admit it! I was not well acquainted with the I Need Romance franchise until number 3 arrived. The pull (of course) was G.O’s fresh and upbeat contribution to the OST, You.

After silence, that which comes nearest to expressing the inexpressible is music.
February 4, 2012 was the second of two nights honoring legend Song Chang Sik. That night, G.O took to the Immortal Song 2 stage and sang the deeply moving 당신은 [You]. Never one to ever hold back, G.O was at his heart-wrenching best. A perfect storm of marrying majestic vocals with the absolute agony of love.

For Day 93, I said to myself: Ok, I challenge you, Michele. Pick a random episode from Sesame Player, watch it, and find one thing in that episode to write about for Day 93 of G.O’s service. I wanted something short, sweet and silly. I found such a moment in Episode 11.^^
