The Soulful Countdown to G.O’s Discharge ~ Day 204

~ Michele ~ 1 Comment

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.^^

The Soulful Countdown to G.O’s Discharge ~ Day 157

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.

The Soulful Countdown to G.O’s Discharge ~ Day 146

Imagine you are in your golden years, a grandma or grandpa, living quietly tending to every day life when a barrage of celebrities descend upon your small village with camera crew in tow. Imagine further that the celebs included members of MBLAQ. Even though it was a variety show that was perhaps comedic in nature, there was something also very endearing about MBC’s Hometown Variety Dreams & Fields.

The Soulful Countdown to G.O’s Discharge ~ Day 144

If there is one thing I am certain of after watching MBLAQ’s Hello Baby, it is that when the time comes for G.O to be a parent to his own children, he is going to ace daddy-hood. And yes, I am well aware of the fact that Hello Baby is a reality/variety show and that the men of MBLAQ were ‘appas’ for the purpose of entertainment. Nevertheless, there were still some genuine parenting moments the men faced and G.O proved he was up to the task.

The Soulful Countdown to G.O’s Discharge ~ Day 140

Who can resist a man who clearly enjoys being an uncle just about as much as he enjoys being an artist?! I admit I am rendered completely weak when I see pictures of G.O with his family. Pictures of him being the loving and engaged uncle are even more delightful. In 2011, G.O along with his nephews (Choi Wan and Choi Yoon) and the younger of his older sisters (Jung Hye Yoon) landed on MBC’s variety program, Flower Bouquet, and charmed us all with their down-to-earth affable natures.

The Soulful Countdown to G.O’s Discharge ~ Day 109

As much as I am missing G.O these days, I am at least grateful that Hello Baby is filled with so many adorably sweet and entertaining moments of him to look back on and enjoy. I am relatively confident I will be able to eke out quite a few more of those moments over the course of these next 622 days. Remember the Bibimbap Song?

The Soulful Countdown to G.O’s Discharge ~ Day 106

The truth is so immersed in my heart . . .

After a seven month hiatus from the Immortal Song 2 stage, G.O returned on September 8, 2012, to sing Choi Sung Soo’s 후인. Borrowing the Latin flavor from Sung Soo’s 1988 original, G.O’s version stripped away the cha-cha beat, slowed it down and added a hauntingly lovely Spanish guitar. The stage was set for G.O to begin romancing the audience. Maybe it is just me, but I think you might agree that adding a Spanish guitar to a song immediately creates romance.

The Soulful Countdown to G.O’s Discharge ~ Day 100

Day 100!! Beautiful G.O has completed 100 days of his military service. Now, that wasn’t so bad. Those first 100 days actually went by rather quickly, right? Right?! Ok, so yes, the days seem to be moving right along and at a somewhat decent pace. Maybe? That pace still does not lessen the ache of missing him. Of having the excitable feeling of seeing an announcement that he will have an event, an appearance, a show, musical, movie or song. Right now, all we have is the promise of his imminent discharge. For Day 100 then, no fanfare needed as I will choose to honor his desire for a quiet service and simply share a moment of him covering Eric Benét’s Still With You.
