Musing While Cruising the Hallyu Highway
So . . . I gave France three days to respond and it seems there were no takers for a free copy of Mirror. As I said, I had no idea how this event would play out, but I am not defeated quite yet. My rule book reads, if the first one view/one visitor forfeits his/her win, I must move to the next one view/one visitor country on the list for 8 December, and again make the offer. Let’s see if I will be successful this time!

The stats are in and so it begins! It occurred to me that there is really no way I can confirm the identity of the one view/one visitor. If a friend of the blog sees that their country is listed as the first one view/one visitor, they can easily contact me and say they are the one and I really cannot refute it, right? So a bit of a change in the event rules as it comes down to basically awarding the country and not necessarily the visitor. This little update and bend in the rules creates a more interesting contest now!!^^ If your country is listed as the first one view/one visitor, it will come down to who contacts me first. If you are the first to tweet me at @micheledemarco ~~>”(name of country) loves #MBLAQ #OneMirrorAMonth” then you become the proud owner of one copy of MBLAQ’s Mirror. The only caveat is that if you respond, you have to be from and physically living in the one view/one visitor winning country. Let’s begin!

Yesterday I began to take a look at G.O’s lunar astrological sign, the Fire Rabbit. Turned out to be a much longer post than I anticipated and I still had a couple more aspects I wanted to touch on so will wrap it up here on his 241st Day of service. The more cerebral and emotional side of the demure rabbit could possibly be where we can see a deeper connect between G.O and his furry lunar sign.

I am in tune with the pulse of the universe.
In my quiet and solitude, I hear the melodies of the soul.
I am the Rabbit.
It is easy to discount astrology and its overall credibility due in part to the over saturation of its commercialism. I totally get it and understand. But underneath it all, as I pointed out in my 116 Reasons post of a million years ago regarding G.O’s western solar astrological sign Scorpio, there is a science to it. And, just as I loved that he was born under the mercurial sign of Scorpio (in the West), I am equally intrigued by the fact that G.O was born in the lunar year of The Fire Rabbit (in the East).

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.

The best part about the otherwise goofy and nonsensical drama,더 드라마틱 [The Dramatic], was the fact that G.O was not confined to one role. I kept wondering when he would show up next and as who!! The Dramatic was a drama that featured various idol groups using their music as a back drop to a story line for each given episode. MBLAQ kicked off the series starring in the first episode, 러브스쿨 [Love School].

I remember when I first heard 열쇠 [Key]. I thought…wow, this is exactly the kind of ballad made for G.O to sing. When MBLAQ released Broken in March 2014, I was pretty confident they were going to pair 남자답게 [Be A Man] with 우리 사이 [Our Relationship] as the teasers J Tune released seemed to indicate such. However, when MBLAQ staged their comeback and began making the rounds performing on various music programs, it was 열쇠 [Key] that became the worthy partner. They also performed 열쇠 at the Broken Showcase on 24 March 2014 and it was easy to discern the rapturous effect the beauty of the song’s melody and heartfelt lyrics had on our gentle main vocal man.

I realize that every time I sit down to write about G.O for any one of these Countdown posts, it becomes an exercise of pouring out my love and admiration (and bias) for him and usually with absolute abandon. I admit my heart has no filter when it comes to expressing how I feel. But let’s face it, there is much to be admired. Today I simply want to revisit both the Samsung and Seoul Sangnam World Cup shows on 15 June 2011 and 19 June 2011, and drink in the beautiful sights and sounds (and light) of G.O looking iridescent and amazing in white.

Join me please in getting lost in the sweet lullaby of Celebrate from the 27 September 2013 Daejeon Free Festival concert on this Fan-Camming day. If you need a sweet meditative moment for today, give this one a try.

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.
