Waiting For Donghun ~ Day 7

I love fan art. It’s true, I am not even remotely artistically inclined when it comes to drawing, sketching, painting and the like. But it is also true that I do have a huge appreciation for the visual arts. While I am arguably jealous of those who are able to draw, sketch and paint beautiful renditions of their favorite artists, I am always inclined to share their work when and where I can. This little countdown is the perfect place to showcase wonderful and creative fans and their Donghun fan art.

Waiting For Donghun ~ Day 6

A.C.E came into my K-pop fangirl realm in the fall of 2019 when I saw they were going to tour the US and Chicago was on the list. In fact, Chicago was the first US city on the tour. I had no idea who A.C.E were and, at the time I saw information regarding the tour, I had never even heard a single song. Yet, because I am impulsive and relatively adventurous, I decided to buy a ticket. Oh, and not just a get-you-in-the-door ticket. No, I went full VIP which included a hi touch and photo card packet. So like any procrastinating student, I had to cram to get to know them and their music before stepping into the venue on what turned out to be an amazing, albeit chilly, wet and snowy December night. I wish I would have been more cognizant because when the group arrived a day or two before show night, there were out about in the city, often times blocks away from my office.😳

Waiting for Donghun ~ Day 5

Not sure if you are aware, but Mr. Lee opened up a personal Instagram account prior to heading off to the military. In fact, both he and Wow both did. Since both are going to serve as public servants during their military duty, creating those accounts was a fantastic idea as they will have some leniency in using social media as they serve, but in a very limited capacity. This little sub-series will pop up over the course of the countdown if and when Donghun updates his IG account. Before he left, he did christened the newly minted account with two updates.

Waiting For Donghun ~ Day 4

I have only been a Choice (A.C.E fan) for a little over two years. I am not quite a baby Choice, but I am still relatively new seeing how the group debuted in 2017. Sigh . . . I am always late to the party. Anyway, I learned very quickly that it was easy to be visually captured by this talented quintet, and I don’t mean this in a shallow way. From the get go, I found A.C.E to have an incredibly powerful stage presence. They are very dynamic dancers and early on, I took in many of their power title tracks to get to know them. When I really began to peel back the layers of all of their fantastic and artistic attributes, specifically by listening to their mellower B-sides and covers, that is when I discovered how truly adept they were as singers. They all sing well. But there is something a little extra special (to my ear anyway) in Donghun’s voice. I describe it as an added depth of emotion which can be heard in many of his solo cover pieces like SWJA’s beautiful ballad, 도망가자 (Run With Me).

Waiting For Donghun ~ Day 3

The good thing about having completed a countdown series in the past is that it provides a bit of a road map for future endeavors. I like the One Shots because they are quick posts with the simple purpose of sharing a favorite picture or playful gif of our featured military man, Donghun. And, because I was teetering as to whether I should attempt another countdown series, I am a little behind on my planning and a short quick post will keep me on schedule. Today, a One Shot in picture form.
