The Soulful Countdown to G.O’s Discharge ~ Day 199

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.

The Soulful Countdown to G.O’s Discharge ~ Day 198

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.

The Soulful Countdown to G.O’s Discharge ~ Day 197

Back on 27 August, our lovely main vocal gave us another profile picture survival report update. Sometimes I wonder if he is missing us as much as we are missing him. Nevertheless, he has consistently given us quiet updates in the most secret of fashion – which I absolute LOVE! As he has completed six months of his military service, it seems he was entitled to a short leave or break. His 27 August profile pictures for his Twitter and Instagrams accounts seem to imply he may have been visiting his family in Gimhae.

The Soulful Countdown to G.O’s Discharge ~ Day 195

Do you mind if we head over to the Retro Room for about half a minute? I think you will like it. It is always nice (at least for me it is) when G.O flips through the pages of his cover song notebook, chooses a popular western ballad from the 1970’s, and even if he only shares a line or two of song, we still get to hear the sweet sounds of his beautiful voice. When this happens, it invariably fans the flames of my OG (that’s ‘old girl’) heart and ignites feels, emotions and a further sense of wonderment over the how and why these tender retro ballads resonate so deeply with G.O.

The Soulful Countdown to G.O’s Discharge ~ Day 194

G.O in a hanbok. Is there anything this man wears that does not look good? I will admit that I will always choose a fine tailored suit or jeans paired with a t-shirt for G.O to wear before he slips into a hanbok. However, I am not going to deny how absolutely charming he looks wearing the traditional Joseon period formal wear.

The Soulful Countdown to G.O’s Discharge ~ Day 193

I cannot believe it took almost 200 days before I decided to write about G.O’s first solo single, 내꿈에 서라도 [Even In My Dreams], the tender and romantic ballad he wrote and composed that was released in July 2011. In that I always want to celebrate G.O’s music as well as his writing and composing skills, I am surprised I waited this long! Well, it is a Sunday and so it goes that something light and romantic should be the main course of the day.

The Soulful Countdown to G.O’s Discharge ~ Day 192

The beauty of deciding to let G.O pretty much commandeer my blog for the length of his military service (and I suspect well beyond), is that I have had the pleasure of connecting with many of his dedicated and long-time fans. Debut fans are a wealth of knowledge which have been a godsend to me in that their MBLAQ-lopedic minds continue to introduce and re-introduce G.O to me as if I am meeting him for the very first time, over and over. It’s the best kind of Groundhog’s Day!!
