The Soulful Countdown to G.O’s Discharge ~ Day 175

~ Michele ~ 2 Comments

Little did I know that back on Day 91 when I decided to share a Heavenly Collaboration featuring G.O with J.ae, that it was in essence a Part Two for this particular collaboration team. I was unaware that G.O and J.ae had crossed paths prior to his MBLAQ days and I certainly was not aware of the fact that they shared the stage singing together prior to the April 2010 A-Live performance. Then I came across a short clip of the two of them singing J.ae’s 눈부신 날에 [On A Blinding Day].

The Soulful Countdown to G.O’s Discharge ~ Day 145

Golden moments. That is how I describe any and all Tykeys moments captured whether it be photograph, audio, video or otherwise. They are part of G.Os history and even if he disagrees, an amazing part at that. In the short time Tykeys spent promoting and performing before they disbanded, they left us with so much gold. The rare practice room videos are indeed treasured gifts and always wonderful to unwrap and enjoy time and again.

The Soulful Countdown to G.O’s Discharge ~ Day 139

~ Michele ~ 1 Comment

The first of G.O’s duets I encountered where he sang with a female partner (outside of his work with Baek Su Kyung) was 니가 따끔 거려서 [Because You Sting] with Brown Eyed Girls leader, Jea. Even before I heard and purchased the studio version of the song, I watched the two of them duet on the January 23, 2011 episode of SBS KJE’s Chocolate. I revisit this performance often and all of the feels from the first time I saw it return, and I fall in love all over again.

The Soulful Countdown to G.O’s Discharge ~ Day 79

~ Michele ~ Leave a comment

There are moments when I really begin to think about everything G.O has been through in his career. He really has crammed a lot of experience in a short amount of years, when you think of it. During his time with MBLAQ from debut to the present, he (either solo or with the group) has had the opportunity to endorse many a product. But what I did not realize until very recent is that he endorsed (and/or modeled) for the Mito Shop clothing line when he was with Tykeys.

The Soulful Countdown to G.O’s Discharge ~ Day 68

Standing here in disarray
A calm serenity
The winds of change can devastate
And it took this much for me

I feel that the songs that G.O chooses to sing (that are not among his own compositions) are not arbitrarily chosen. I may not have logged ample study time of this incredible artist of a man in comparison to many in the fandom, but from what I have experienced thus far, I am pretty confident in stating there is reason, depth and substance in G.O’s choices to sing the songs he chooses to sing. And most definitely a resonance with the reason. Eric Benét’s Hurricane is one of those songs.

The Soulful Countdown to G.O’s Discharge ~ Day 36

~ Michele ~ 2 Comments

On the eve of his enlistment, G.O spent about a half hour in a chatroom at MBLAQ’s Daum Cafe saying good-bye to his A+ while simultaneously drenching them with his ever-present gratitude. He also said something that gave us all pause. Something probably none of us never in our wildest of dreams would think he would ever say: After two years time, I may not return as an active singer. Unfathomable, right? Well, if after two years he still has some reservations about returning, I would ask him to reflect on the evening of May 29, 2007, and maybe rethink that statement.

The Soulful Countdown to G.O’s Discharge ~ Day 24

~ Michele ~ 1 Comment

A good song will always stand the test of time. This is something that G.O understands explicitly. His penchant for tender ballads written and recorded well before he was even a glint in his parents’ eyes is proof that the soul that resides in him has most probably been here before, and has felt love and loss, often.
