Clarification: I named my blog after the song "Met You By Chance" JDH performed in May 2014. I never really met the guy. I "met him by chance" on Youtube.
Now, October 2014 I'm starting to write these ramblings because I want to sort out my thoughts and feelings about 정동하 - Jung Dong Ha, a South Korean singer who won me by storm sometime in February 2014.
I will be musing about him, make remarks about his voice, his talent as a performer, his looks, and basically everything.
I'm a FAN again!
The "Dream" tour started with a concert in Busan, on March 26. It looks that JDH was enjoying himself.

Dong Ha is learning a new "love" sign. It was during Kim Kwang Seok special tribute show, in May.

And below, a few pictures from a few days ago. Dong Ha is meeting fans waiting outside either some concert venue or maybe outside a radio station. Fans always take the best pictures of him!
Thanks to Joyce for artistically modified picture above.
Dong Ha continues to promote his newest mini-album, with the title song "Oh! Love!". Here is a video of him singing it live in a radio station, on 6-20-2016. Actually, the album has a couple of other good songs too.I hope he will sing them in concerts as well. The next concert is this Sunday, June 26th!
June 11, 2016, first show. The person who recorded this - thank you so much!
The come-back show already started yesterday, and the first secret recording appeared online. My heart swelled, when I heard this voice in the morning. How can I not love this singer, when his voice moves me to the core. Listening to his a-capella singing at the curtain call of the first performance, I hear something in his voice that makes me think that Dongha is very moved, filled with emotions, almost about to cry. Especially in the first few lines, his voice is trembling. Then he seems to pull himself together.

So now, below, I finally will post the past performance of "Les Temps des Cathedrales", from October 2013 KBS TV show. I think I had intention to post this video at least 2 times on my blog, but I ended not doing this, who knows why.
This performance from 3 years ago, was crucial for me, when I was slowly becoming his fan. It simply enchanted me, and sealed my fate. I'm such a happy fan now!

There is another song from this musical that I really love. I love how Dongha sings it, in a bit of the gypsy music style. He performs it in a less formal scenery, simply in one of his concerts in December 2014. I love it so much. The name of the song is "Door of Paris".
During recent recording at a talk show, the host of the show said that JDH will now have a new nick name,
The Lovely Rocker. Ha, ha! Probably referring to his recent hit "Oh! Love".
Here is Dongha captured yesterday going to KBS studio for rehearsals (or maybe coming out, after the rehearsals).

06-04-2016, PS!!!! WHEEE!!!! The song Jung Dong Ha performed yesterday on Immortal Song 2! I decided to add it here, since the song fits well the definition of "lovely rocker". This song suits him so well, since it's playful, and light hearted. I hope he will sing it at concerts from now on. The gentleman in the yellow jacket is apparently the writer of the song. He seems to be very pleased with the performance. The audience is delighted, which was reflected in a very high score Dongha received, although it wasn't a winning score. Of course, that doesn't matter - whether he won or not, the program is so popular in Korea and other Far East countries. like Philippines, Malaysia, Indonesia, and to be invited to sing is a fantastic promotion. Opportunity to gain new fans.
The song is form the new mini-album "DREAM", released yesterday. There seems to be a lot of buzz about it on the internet. Among many updates, fans are enjoying this "behind the scenes" of making the music video for the song. Whee!!!
