Musing While Cruising the Hallyu Highway
As of today, we are three weeks away from G.O completing 200 days of his service! Soon we will be marking the half way point and even sooner, we will be celebrating his return. These days are moving at lightening speed. For today’s post, another G.O One Shot. I once again have to turn to the incredible camera work of A Lucky Day. <I’m obsessed!>

It should come as no surprise that I am choosing to capitalize on the fact that we are in the middle of the 2016 Summer Olympics currently under way in Brazil. Indeed, as much as I love the artistic side of G.O (always), I rather enjoy watching his athletic pursuits as well. In the spirit of the Olympics, I decided to revisit MBLAQ’s participation in the 6th Idol Star Athletics ~ Archery Championship from early 2013. Even though our beloved men of MBLAQ came up short and ultimately lost to ZE:A in the archery finals, it is not going to detract from the fact that G.O is one very able archer.

Do you feel like escaping with me today to a sweet spot in a song? Yes sometimes a few short lines in one song have the power to transport and soothe. Of course, the relaxant effect of a song is compounded when the lyrics are being masterfully delivered in a mellifluous melody by a vocalist who understands that of the many elements that comprise a song, it is a vocalist’s honest connect with the thought, meaning and emotion of that song that will indeed capture and move an audience. I believe G.O understands this concept to his core, and why his short interlude between the sharp rap attack in Taw and HaHa’s 내 품이 좋다던사람 [The Person By My Side] reminds us that underneath the hurt and pain of a break up, the heart has a resilience that always seems to be able to weather the storms of love.

While MBLAQ was still busy promoting their second mini album Y, Malaysian promotion, tour and event management company M.E Malaysia caught up with the gregarious bunch for a little getting to know you one-on-one session in a Gangnam-gu cafe late one night in July 2010. Even though they were exhausted from their hectic promotion schedule, the interview was playful and yielded some gorgeous pictures and one very cute video message to the Malaysian fans.

Little did I know that back on Day 91 when I decided to share a Heavenly Collaboration featuring G.O with J.ae, that it was in essence a Part Two for this particular collaboration team. I was unaware that G.O and J.ae had crossed paths prior to his MBLAQ days and I certainly was not aware of the fact that they shared the stage singing together prior to the April 2010 A-Live performance. Then I came across a short clip of the two of them singing J.ae’s 눈부신 날에 [On A Blinding Day].

In looking at the long list of post suggestions to myself, on this 174th day it simply read ‘endorsement.’ Vague, right? I started thinking about G.O shoes (random!) and remembered there was actually a connect to endorsements. Indeed, G.O has been on the endorsement side of introducing some of the most eclectic and fashion forward footwear coming out of Seoul. [Those spiked loafers up there are pretty awesome.] Today, I just want to have a whimsical look at his shoe style as throughout his career, specifically with MBLAQ, G.O has had the opportunity to wear some really stylish, elegant and sophisticated footwear.

I know the days are speeding by when it is time for a G.O One Shot! I am posting these every six days or so and it always seems that when I post one, it is time for another. That’s ok, because I love these short quick posts which are mini blasts of G.O often capturing his special kind of handsome and always a bit of his charm! Today a gif of him on stage captured in the sweet repose of a song.

While it is every fan’s dream to see their favorite group perform live in some capacity, the fan sign is what takes everything to the next level. Indeed those brief and special moments in a concert venue where you are close enough to grab the attention of your bias for a wave, high-five or even a selca are plausible if you are fortunate enough to have a spot near to the stage. The fan sign, however, guarantees that one-on-one moment with your favorite group and even more importantly, your bias.

It has been some time since I opened up the Sesame Player vault to feature a moment from a randomly chosen episode and since it is the 6th of August I went ahead and chose Episode 6 and from that episode, the Ddabong Challenge. The goofy antics of Seung Ho, G.O, Joon and Cheondung had me giggling throughout the entire segment. Of course, that was when G.O wasn’t assaulting all of my senses with his charm, charisma, pouty lips and dreamy eyes. So distracting! ~.^

For Day 170 of G.O’s military service I am going to focus on the windows of his soul and ask, if your MBLAQ bias held eye contact with you (and/or your camera) for the bulk of 전쟁이야 [This Is War], do you think you would walk away from the experience feeling somewhat changed? Undone perhaps?
