Musing While Cruising the Hallyu Highway
It is time for another installment of G.O’s Selca Magic!!! This little sub-category could easily become one of my favorites over the course of the next 495 days. Then again, each blog post published seems to be overrun by pictures of G.O so in essence, they are all my favorite!^^

Do you remember when it was when we first saw G.O after he concluded his basic training and settled into his public service post with the City of Seocho? I do. It was back in April and it was a traffic safety campaign. Remember the excitement of seeing him in the public service announcement with the gregarious mayor of Seocho, Mayor Cho Eun Hee? I wrote about it way back on Day 48. DAY 48!! We have patiently waited for Mayor Cho to put our favorite Seocho City staff member to work in front of the camera again. Five months and 187 days later, I get celebrate that moment!

It seems abundantly clear to me that G.O indeed got the memo to bring every ounce of beautiful with him to perform at the 17 January 2012 MBC Beautiful Concert. In fact, it is almost too much beautiful to endure. It is Day 234 of G.O’s service and it seems as good a time as any to bring a beautiful pictures and fan-camming moment to the blog. Come…let’s immerse.

There were countless numbers of pictures that were published of MBLAQ when they came back with their 8th mini album Mirror in June 2015. And as we were so ravenous to see them, it was fortunate that cameras were often in the vicinity every day during promotions. Apart from absolutely loving the music, I really appreciated the toned down sophisticated feel of Seung Ho, G.O and Mir’s visual presentation of their new material. Wearing soft, muted tones of black, grey, white or blue, there was an elegance in the clean and comfortable lines of the clothes they wore, especially G.O.

Our charming main vocal would like to call your attention to the fact that he now has UNDER 500 DAYS LEFT OF HIS SERVICE!! Yes, it is true. As G.O completes his 232nd day of service today, he officially has 499 remaining. Frankly, I see the light at the end of the tunnel, and it is growing brighter and brighter each day. For today, I just want to celebrate G.O as seen through my own camera. These are not new and this is not the full collection of what I have been fortunate to capture. Nor are they perfect as I seem to have lots of trouble keeping my camera steady when I point it at him. So it goes . . .

It was 6 October 2012 and a night to celebrate the music of composer Cho Ha Moon. It was also G.O’s second to last performance on Immortal Song 2. I had been posting G.O’s IMS2 performances pretty regularly. When I realized that I was coming to the end of his run with two remaining episodes to cherish here, I paused and on almost four years to the day of this broadcast, I return to the IMS2 stage and invite you to lose yourselves with me in the tender ballad 왜 나만 [Why Only Me].

I think of all of my little sub-categories that I have snuck into this Countdown series, the Windows To Your Soul ~ The G.O Eye Connect is becoming one of my absolute favorites. When G.O looks into a camera’s lens, I believe he does so with the intent to connect. He wants you to know he sees you and wants you to feel the connect. If a professionally filmed and televised performance (Inkigayo, M Countdown, etc.), the intent is perhaps different. But, not really. I think he simply wants us to feel his art which is in effect, a connect. Fans who have pointed their cams on him during performances often received focused attention in return. Yes, G.O seems to always be quite aware of who is dedicating their attention towards him.

The best part about the otherwise goofy and nonsensical drama,더 드라마틱 [The Dramatic], was the fact that G.O was not confined to one role. I kept wondering when he would show up next and as who!! The Dramatic was a drama that featured various idol groups using their music as a back drop to a story line for each given episode. MBLAQ kicked off the series starring in the first episode, 러브스쿨 [Love School].

Greetings! I just wanted to let you dear readers and wonderful supporters of this series know that the posting schedule in the coming three weeks may be a little erratic as I will be traveling. My plan is to keep publishing a post each day of G.O’s military service as I have been these past 228 days. I have been publishing a post for the series at around 6:00 AM Seoul time, daily. That will change beginning 3 October through 21 October. There will be no set time ~ but hopefully, each day will continue to be timely commemorated! Please be patient and as always thank you from my heart for taking this countdown journey with me.

I remember when I first heard 열쇠 [Key]. I thought…wow, this is exactly the kind of ballad made for G.O to sing. When MBLAQ released Broken in March 2014, I was pretty confident they were going to pair 남자답게 [Be A Man] with 우리 사이 [Our Relationship] as the teasers J Tune released seemed to indicate such. However, when MBLAQ staged their comeback and began making the rounds performing on various music programs, it was 열쇠 [Key] that became the worthy partner. They also performed 열쇠 at the Broken Showcase on 24 March 2014 and it was easy to discern the rapturous effect the beauty of the song’s melody and heartfelt lyrics had on our gentle main vocal man.
