OMG! Notre Dame de Paris!!!!

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".

"The Lovely Rocker"

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.

New song "Oh! Love!"

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!!!
                                                                   

Schedule for June 2016

                    Big thanks to Summer Yu who translated Jung Dongha's busy June 2016 schedule.

New mini-album DREAM announced

Track list has been posted, and Music Video is recorded. Both will be released on June 2nd, 2016. From what I can tell, Dong Ha has contributed to lyrics (track 1, 3, 4, 5, 6), and  composed tracks 3, 4, 5. Wow, so unexpected to me. What a sweet surprise. Track number 2, written entirely by someone else, is also offered as instrumental version, in track number 7. I hope the music is worthy the instrumental recording only. Anyway, I'm very excited!

             

May 2016

So far, seemingly, May 2016 has  not been that busy for Dong Ha.
Just a few performances here and there, which I think is beneficial for him, to use his voice gently, but continuously. However, news is, that he has started recording his second album, and as far as I can understand, it will also include a DVD from one of his concerts! That's fantastic! There are also official reports about him recording a new music video (MV). He's been also likely rehearsing for this "Notre Dame de Paris" come back, too. Another concert of the "Dream" tour is coming up on June 2nd. Now, the most recent news is, he may be on IS2 again? I'm feeling a little melancholic in past few days, so here are some lovely pictures of Dong Ha, taken by fans at his May appearances. Of course, I'm happy with the long sweater. Pretty cool. Thanks to Yellowbigmoon, and Janabee for taking such great pictures at concerts.

 The video below, from today, or maybe yesterday, brightened my mood a little. He was on a KBS1-TV, singing and talking. The concert was called Feel, and it was in open air. Looks like there was a wet weather. Even if I don't understand, I really like him talking. This time he speaks really fast.

And another one! Desperado! This is strange/funny to me that he likes to sing this song so often. Maybe he knows his audience likes it, too.

Do dreams really come true?

The updated schedule for NOTRE DAME DE PARIS musical  has been posted. Extended now till July 17th. But I know that there will be shows through August 21st. Oh, Lord, please let me go to Korea this Summer...snifff. Is it really going to be impossible? Sniff. Should I really pray for such a thing?

The schedule below, where someone compiled all Dong Ha's performances,  shows that Hong Kwang Ho and Jung Dong Ha will be together in the show  on the following dates: 6-19, 6-23, 6-30, 7-03, 7-06, 7-16, 7-17.  I wish, I wish, I wish. I guess I will leave it to fate.
