Musing While Cruising the Hallyu Highway
Episode 158 of SBS’s 도전 1000 곡 [1000 Song Challenge] aired on 7 August 2011 and could have aptly been retitled I Challenge You Not to Fall For G.O Tonight. Well, at least that is how I felt when I watched him sing Kim Min Woo’s 사랑일뿐야 [It’s Only Love]. Winsome and dreamy, and in remarkably under two minutes, G.O invites you into his heart where it is easy to nestle in and get lost in the warmth of his tender voice.

Remember back on Day 183 I took a look at G.O’s various jewelry style and put a note to myself that I should plan a post about the various hats he has worn over the years? As is obvious, I decided not to wait too terribly long to have look and chose today to see why he is so very much at the head of his class when it comes to head-gear, and is indeed a milliner’s dream.

He may have been all of about twenty years old when Tykeys dropped their album Ty Project No. 1 in February 2007, but the makers, creators, producers and writers, knew full well that Byung Hee was vocally fit to handle a song or two on his own. He was given two on the album. I will give each equal time here but for this 205th day of G.O’s service, I feel like being wrapped in the gentle and warm embrace of 내가 아니라도 [Even Though It’s Not Me].

It was not difficult for MBLAQ’s charming main vocal to absolutely charm me into surrendering my heart. A single note sung, a soft smile, a warm handshake were all the ammunition he needed to seal his place as my one true and ultimate bias. When I watch old variety show appearances, my fate is further sealed. Why bother fighting the wave of his charm? Like many who claim G.O their bias, I am defenseless. As I continue to parse through his many show appearances, I am repeatedly reminded of his gregarious personality and charismatic screen presence. G.O’s moments captured on We Got Married Global with 2PM’s Taecyeon and Taiwanese actress Emma Wu was no exception. For this 204th day of G.O’s service, we’re going to the kitchen for some kimbap.^^

For today, something sweet and simple. It is One Shot gif day so I thought I would combine gif with fan art and wrap it all in Seopyeonje.

When I sat down to write this post, it was midnight and I had had a glass of wine. For those reasons (and probably others) I found G.O’s saunter through Gimpo Airport on 4 December 2011 rather sensuous. Maybe it was the beanie/hoodie combination with the dark glasses. Or perhaps it was just the way he seemed to be gliding as he walked. Or, how about the soft smile on his perfect lips? Whatever the reason, G.O makes a simple walk through the airport a seismic event for the senses and the perfect choice for a Fan-Camming day here on the blog.

Special guesting is not all about lending a voice, at least for purposes of this Countdown series. Special guesting as an actor in a music video (without a single note sung or dialogue spoken) proves to be just as thrilling, especially when the actor is G.O. I admit seeing G.O in an acting capacity coupled with music (as in musical theater) is the ultimate. However, seeing him as the cad in Ailee’s 보여줄게 [I Will Show You] MV is devilishly delightful.

Celebrating G.O’s 200th day of military service . . . and remembering the beauty he shared 204 days ago at the I.Callist Idol Vocal Concert, Valentine’s Day 2016.

In all of his many collaborations, I certainly could never exclude G.O’s work opposite his co-stars in his musicals. On 26 March 2014, there was a press call held for the musical 서편제 [Seopyeonje] and the touchingl 다른 소리 [A Different Voice] sung by Jang Eun Ah and G.O’s was beautifully captured and is, in every way, a heavenly collaboration.

Family. If there is one thing in addition to music that I feel is of utmost importance to G.O, it has to be family. It seems that when he chose to pursue music, his family has always been there to encourage and support this passion, every step of the way. Inasmuch as I adore the fact that he is the baby brother to two older sisters, it is perhaps his uncle position in the family that delights me the most.
