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!

There are so many videos of Jung Dong Ha performing this song at various occasions. I actually like them all. Here is one of them.This is a very nice video and audio. Thank you "Ale Song" 💜
Seems like Jung Dong Ha was particularly frisky during that concert.
Vocally was also in very good condition.
I heard it through a grapevine, that the 2018 will be the 10th anniversary of the musical "Notre Dame De Paris", and it's possible that there might be some special shows, maybe in the Summer or Fall.
I sincerely hope Dongha can participate.
I can still do some throwback Thursday, I suppose. This was a TV appearance, and one of many cover songs Dongha has been doing for theses programs, called Concert 7080 (songs from 70-ties and 80-ties).
Well, there is not much to add to this. Dong Ha invited a fan on stage to sing with him, and that young fellow turned out to be quite talented. They sing "Like Rain Like Music". This is a very difficult song, but the young guy totally was able to keep up well with Dong Ha. Here in this video it's very obvious how sweet, and gracious Jung Dong Ha is - he continuously encouraged him and kept eye contact, to assure him of his support. What an unforgettable moment.
Somebody once said that Jung Dong Ha must be a "rainman". He has several songs on his list that talk about rain. There is "Rain", and "Early Rain", and now it's "Rainwater".
I really like this performance. But I actually have a critical comment about it. This performance shows how NOT to win Immortal Song. Dong Ha comes on stage to sing a gut wrenching, intensely desperate song of sadness and longing. But before he begins, he makes a silly joke about his raincoat, and asks if he looks good. If you joke lightly like this, and then make tragic faces while singing, it doesn't come across as genuine. The emotions look fake to the audience, hence the people don't vote for you. That is my comment of the video.

I really love how Dong Ha sings the song though, with over the top screaming, and everything else.
I love it all.
I love the guitarist, too.
Only, I hate this raincoat.
End of November 2013. At that time I still wasn't aware who Jung Dong Ha was, although I started encountering his videos on You Tube, while trying to research Hong Kwang Ho.
In this video clip, the Boohwal guys are on stage behind Dong Ha, but not for long. A month or so later, the official split between him and the band was announced.
I wonder if he was aware, while singing here, that he would go different path. Such a cute video. He appears to be very self confident. And cute while being in good mood joking a bit..
This is Jung Dong Ha schedule for the rest of the year. This is only his "The Artist" concert - second leg; continuation from 2016.
I'm sure there will be many other performances, and public appearances together with other artists, etc... Announcements about those
will be posted probably on his Fan Page on FB.
This video is a little long because it consists of 3 songs, all in rock style. But it's so good, that I won't just cut it. I can't take my eyes off him, and vocally he is fantastic.
I already had posted TBT on a Wednesday, so, why not Friday? I was just too busy yesterday.
I just love this guy in the below video.
He is out of this world.
