The Soulful Countdown to G.O’s Discharge ~ Day 328

~ Michele ~ Leave a comment

Any time you stand G.O on a stage and let him sing with someone I am automatically going to label that a Heavenly Collaboration. His voice and presence added any time, any where, in any genre, with any vocalist is going to be magical. The angelic presence of G.O joining Nichkhun, Minah, Risako, and P.O for a special stage performance of Let It Go at the M Countdown No. 1 Artist of Spring 2014 in Yokohama may not have seen him with a whole lot of vocal time, but his gentle vocals were sweet perfection in any event. And he was a complete vision in white.

The Soulful Countdown to G.O’s Discharge ~ Day 297

~ Michele ~ Leave a comment

When G.O was cast as one of three actors to portray the tragic and emotionally fragile Dong Ho in 서편제 [Seopyeonje], I was still clearing my own path towards him so I missed all of the excitement of hearing the news of his involvement in the musical. I can only imagine what it must have felt like when news of G.O returning to the musical stage broke. As I have mentioned before, Seopyeonje was my introduction to G.O so it holds special importance for me personally, but it was also a game-changer for him as a musical actor (whether he wants to believe that or not)! For today then, something simple. A look back at the moment when he introduced himself as one of the musical actors cast in the show.

The Soulful Countdown to G.O’s Discharge ~ Day 250

I cannot even begin to imagine the number of times G.O has graced the many radio studios across Seoul over the course of his career. In those visits, he often had the opportunity to sing live. I think my favorites have always been those impromptu moments where he was asked to sing a song, or a clip of a song just off the cuff, no preparation. On March 15, 2014, G.O and Cha Ji Yeon (his co-star in the musical 서편제 [Seopyeonje]), dropped by Super Junior’s Kiss The Radio at the KBS Cool FM studios. It was there and then the humble musical actor gave the audience a little preview of what to expect when he would grace the Korean musical theater stage the following week playing the troubled Dong Ho in Seopyeonje.

The Soulful Countdown to G.O’s Discharge ~ Day 232

Our charming main vocal would like to call your attention to the fact that he now has UNDER 500 DAYS LEFT OF HIS SERVICE!! Yes, it is true. As G.O completes his 232nd day of service today, he officially has 499 remaining. Frankly, I see the light at the end of the tunnel, and it is growing brighter and brighter each day. For today, I just want to celebrate G.O as seen through my own camera. These are not new and this is not the full collection of what I have been fortunate to capture. Nor are they perfect as I seem to have lots of trouble keeping my camera steady when I point it at him.  So it goes . . .

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 153

~ Michele ~ Leave a comment

Not a single day has passed since April 2014 when I have not thought at least once (and often more) about G.O and the musical Seopyeonje. Both he and the musical left an indelible and deep impression on me. I often long to go back to those moments when I was sitting at the Universal Arts Center Theatre waiting for the curtain to rise, waiting for G.O to take the stage. Waiting to be moved by the achingly tragic story about Song Hwa and her brother, Dong Ho.

The Soulful Countdown to G.O’s Discharge ~ Day 129

Part of idol culture is to periodically make appearances at award shows, movie or television drama premiers, press conferences and the occasional product or service launch party. So in addition to being able to see your bias on the stage or listen to him  (or her) via the magic of digital recording, seeing them out and about at various events gives a added boost of excitement, and usually some pictures and potentially some video footage.

The Soulful Countdown to G.O’s Discharge ~ Day 105

The further time moves away from March 2014, the tighter I seem to hold on to the memories of all the moments leading up to G.O taking the Korean musical theater stage for the first time in Seopyeonje. The excitement of opening night was growing and news of the musical was everywhere. The promotions and interviews he took part in as a result of being cast in the musical were many both before and after the musical opened. An idol cast in the role of Dong Ho in this masterpiece musical was a first. G.O stepping out on to the Korean musical theater stage was also a first.
