The Soulful Countdown to G.O’s Discharge ~ Day 132

Today marks G.O’s 132nd day of service which puts him officially under 600 days remaining! Yes, it may seem insignificant in the grand scheme of things but each day completed is another day closer to discharge and that makes me happy. To celebrate this small milestone, I want to honor G.O, the composer. On this 132nd day, I ask you Byung Hee, R U Ok?

The Soulful Countdown to G.O’s Discharge ~ Day 123

Lately I have been thinking a lot about G.O’s three musicals. All three were unique and different, all three were held in great esteem by theater-goers, fans and critics, and all three proved that G.O had a natural affinity towards musical theater. I cannot help but wonder what he was feeling taking his very first curtain call bows following his wonderful performance as Kang Hyun Woo in the politically charged jukebox musical, Gwanghwamun Sonata.
