Today I reflect on the release of MBLAQ’s wonderful Mirror. It is the anniversary of the release of the group’s 8th mini album, but their first as a trio. As such, it will forever remain special, a memento and turning point marking a new chapter for the handsome young men carrying on the name and tradition READ MORE

The Soulful Countdown to G.O’s Discharge ~ Day 431
There was a reason MBLAQ titled their fifth mini album Sexy Beat. When you look at all of the visuals that exploded from print to video, to live stage performances throughout promotion and beyond, everything about that album (and era) oozed sexy. The men were maturing and settling into their masculinity and with Sexy Beat, it showed. For READ MORE
The Soulful Countdown to G.O’s Discharge ~ Day 428
I often wonder when G.O became MBLAQ’s official main vocal if he realized how much dancing he was going to be required to do. Choreography is part of the Korean pop idol package but he is primarily a romantic balladeer. As we all know, ballads do not really require choreography. I can only hope G.O surprised himself with READ MORE
The Soulful Countdown to G.O’s Discharge ~ Day 359
Let me just cut to the chase for this Fan-Camming Friday by saying that anytime a fan cam features an accidental flash of otherwise covered up skin and a wink, along with outstanding vocals and provocative choreography, it easily reaches that gold standard of fan camming. This is my choice for Day 359 ~ one week from the READ MORE
The Soulful Countdown to G.O’s Discharge ~ Day 355
We are literally ten days away from seeing G.O complete his first full year of service. I know it is probably ridiculous, but I seem to be in a countdown within a countdown mode. Little mini milestones. When it comes to G.O I guess it does not take much to make me happy. Admittedly, being READ MORE
The Soulful Countdown to G.O’s Discharge ~ Day 339
I honestly do not believe I could have envisioned a better special stage than the one G.O was given during MBLAQ’s Men In Blaq concert, back in August 2011. From a visual perspective when I watch it, my first thought is always . . . my god, a star was so being born at that moment. The romantic stage READ MORE
The Soulful Countdown to G.O’s Discharge ~ Day 336
Every moment G.O has the opportunity to sing will always have a place here in this countdown series and will generally find its way into the Vocal Virtuosity archives. Every single one. But I admit there will always be some moments that stand out much like the one I share today where G.O turns a ballad into a tender lullaby in his rendition of Hurricane during READ MORE
The Soulful Countdown to G.O’s Discharge ~ Day 335
I truly am of the firm belief that there is a time, season and reason for all things that happen in our lives. I still remember so clearly Lee Joon’s words during one of the Curtain Call shows back in November 2014 where he said that even brushing against someone’s shoulder is one’s karma. It may sound READ MORE
The Soulful Countdown to G.O’s Discharge ~ Day 332
G.O officially has under 400 days left in his military service!! Yes, we have dipped below 400 on this 332nd day ~ he has 399 days remaining and in thirty-four days, he will complete the first of his two year enlistment. To say I am excited is an understatement. I don’t want to exhaust my READ MORE
The Soulful Countdown to G.O’s Discharge ~ Day 279
There was much sadness surrounding the recording and subsequent release of MBLAQ’s 7th mini album, Winter. This is undeniably true. That sadness however does not overshadow the absolute beauty of the four original tracks on the album and, in particular, the poignancy in the quiet and tender ballads contained therein. I love this album. Even when it READ MORE
