Musing While Cruising the Hallyu Highway
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.

The November 19, 2011 broadcast of Immortal Song 2 was a particularly competitive one. It was the King of Kings Special episode where the contestants sang one of the songs that brought them a previous win and everyone surely brought their A-game to the show that evening. G.O returned with Kim Su Hee’s 못 잊겠어요 [I Can’t Forget] and it was every bit as smooth and jazzy as the night he first sang it back on August 13th.

Imagine you have discovered a way to reach the light at the end of the tunnel. A light that represented independence and a place for you to finally enjoy freedom of expression while in pursuit of a new direction to nurture your passion. A safe place for you to thrive without suppression and abuse. You would reach for it with both hands and hold on tight, wouldn’t you?

Do you ever watch G.O and get lost in his forever playfulness? *Sigh* The early days following debut were the best. I still go back and forth emotionally wishing I was there from the beginning but understanding that when I discovered this gem of a man, it was exactly when I was supposed to arrive to the fandom. Still, being able to have experienced the early variety days real-time had to be pretty much priceless. Day 86 has me traveling back to the Y era and GOMTV’s Making The Artist.

G.O and Mir. It had to be fate, destiny or written somewhere that these two gentle spirits were going to cross paths and become one very powerful rap-vocal OST duo. They released two songs in 2012 and one in 2013 for three different original soundtracks. I think they are due for another one, don’t you ~ well, once G.O completes his service. For Day 85, I want to revisit my fave of the OST work exclusive to G.O and Mir, 천국이니까 [Because It’s Heaven/Winter Rain] from the Korean drama, The King of Dramas.

If I was shopping for a watch in September of 2011, I would have been SOLD on the Armani Exchange watches our outrageously gorgeous main vocal G.O was modeling in the October 2011 issue of GQ Korea. I don’t even mind that they were watches for men. Sold, I tell you……s.o.l.d.

There are 648 more days left . . . everyone holding up ok? G.O has almost completed 100 days! Frankly, it is flying by, at least according to my body clock. I am not one generally to rush things, but in this instance, time can fly by as quickly as it would like. It’s One Shot GIF day so here we G.O!!~^^

If there hadn’t been that sea between you and me
There might not have been the bitter goodbye . . .
Those are some very powerful lyrics to open a song. Add the tender voice of G.O and they become that much more powerful, emotional and heartbreaking. Ah….but that is his intention, isn’t it? To touch your heart when he sings. To make you feel something. On the evening of September 10, 2011, G.O made his tenth visit to the Immortal Song 2 stage and sang Nam Jin’s 가슴 아프계 [Heartbreakingly] to perhaps one of the most hushed audiences I have ever witnessed. Hushed in awe.
