Musing While Cruising the Hallyu Highway
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.

As I move my way through these many days of G.O’s military enlistment, I continue to learn more about him while enjoying his performances, whether singing or acting, as well as his variety show or red carpet appearances. Even his many endorsements. I give fair warning that even if the endorsement yields just a single picture, it will be well worth sharing here because I am always going to be interested in buying into what he is selling!

When I am asked why it is I am so very drawn to G.O, I have to confess that it is not all about the music or the fact that he is perhaps one of the best looking men in Korean popular music today (in my opinion any way) with brains to boot, and a charming personality. It is deeper and more profound. It is his character and honesty, and in the way he carries himself. It is also in the way G.O connects with his art, his music, and his fans. So you see, I am drawn to him for many, many reasons.

It is once again time to for me to share another G.O One Shot and a GIF is in rotation for today. For some reason, I am feeling the lure and pull of romantic G.O at the moment so a softer picture seems about right for Day 95.

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.^^

I think I can forget you
I try to comfort myself like this
But after trying to get rid of these feelings again and again
My yearning for you is endless . . .
I have to wonder when G.O agreed to appear on the January 28, 2011 episode of You Hee Yeol’s Sketchbook, if he sat down with Hee Yeol and said, “I want to sing Kim Gun Mo’s 미련 [Lingering Affection],” or if it was decided by You Hee Yeol that he would, or perhaps the production team? My first inclination is to say G.O chose it because it is exactly the type of ballad our man with the golden voice has become a master at interpreting.

Out of G.O’s collaborations outside of his work within the two groups he has been (and is) a member, one of my favorites is his guest appearance on J.ae’s single, 끝을 말할순없어도 [Even If We Can’t Speak Of The End]. This gentle ballad gave the charming G.O a break from his main vocal duties with MBLAQ to once again showcase his tender honeyed voice in a duet atmosphere.

Friends, we are at Day 90!!!! Yes, our beloved main vocal man G.O has now completed three full months of his service! I know for some of you it probably still seems like time is dragging, especially since we are all missing him so very much. And even if my Countdown posts are backfiring on me and making me miss him more, I am still enjoying the revisits of his past work. Since it is officially my birthday in Seoul, I think a little G.O and chocolate are in order. Let’s take a short trip back in time to MBLAQ’s very first solo CF for Lotte Confectionaries.

I have a bit of a method in my madness with these countdown posts and I am confident that over the course of the next 643 days, I WILL sync up with G.O’s Twitter and Instagram profile picture updates so they happen just as I am ready to post a One Shot. In the meantime, I will share my favorite of the two profile pictures he updated back on May 1st.
