Musing While Cruising the Hallyu Highway
There is no sweeter tonic for senses than an incandescently playful G.O. As I patiently await his return from military duties, I also wait for the moment he unleashes his playfulness upon us once again. In the meantime, I will use the One Shot to revisit as many of those moments as I can throughout this series by way of the either picture of .gif. Today….it will be .gif form.

Is it my imagination or when MBLAQ debuted, G.O was given quite a few opportunities to showcase his incredible vocals by way of often covering songs during live radio broadcasts. And I mean, immediately after debut, too. Of the many things I appreciate about G.O, one is definitely his love and respect for early R&B, specifically that of Stevie Wonder. It has been a while since my last Retro Room post so I thought it would be nice to travel back to November 2009 and sink into G.O’s tender cover of All in Love is Fair.

Of course everyone remembers MBLAQ’s participation in the Idol Athletics, right? One part competition, one part fan service, and all parts entertaining. It seems G.O was always a willing and competitive participant. But he was always quick to engage and entertain the fans. It seems that the deeper I get into the Countdown series, the more sub-categories I discover. Quite simply, G.O’s fan service should have always been here, and shame on me for waiting this long! To get started, I am going to keep this one short and sweet by taking a quick look at a moment during the 27 August 2011 Idol Athletics where G.O, along with Seung Ho took a bit of a dance break much to the delight of their fans.

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.
