10.10.01 Lim Jeong Hee feat. JoKwon - On The Way To Break Up @ Music Bank + Photos

JoKwon performed On The Way To Break Up for the first time ever as part of Lim Jeong Hee's comeback stage on Music Bank today.Sadly they did not get to sing the song in full but it is understandable as the main focus of J.Lim's comeback performance should be on the amazing title track itself,not on her duet with Kwon.I personally consider it a bonus that fans actually get to see this song performed live considering the fact it was not a song that was officially promoted,but I guess it is worth mentioning that even without a proper promotion the duet song was at position no.16 on the KBS Music Bank chart,making it a legitimate song to be performed and not just as a fanservice or whatever.And not forgetting that this duet was also a song that managed an "all-kill" on the online music sites in Korea so soon after it was released,even overtaking songs by a certain very popular female idol group.

I was honestly worried for Kwon after knowing earlier in the day that his performance was going to be part of the live show line-up and not a pre-recorded stage because it has been mentioned that since returning from Jeju Island he has actually been down with cold/flu and has yet to recover.And considering the non-stop schedule he's been on since arriving in Seoul from Jeju I think I have every reason to worry about the quality of his overall performance and then there's also the fact he didn't actually have much chance to practice the duet with J.Lim prior to performing.

But of course,this is JoKwon we're talking about.Yet again,despite whatever circumstances there might have been behind the performance he never ever let it be shown that he was actually sick and instead deliver a wonderful performance as I was hoping he would.As usual Music Bank's audio quality and camera works left much to be desired for,but Kwon gave it his all.And to see him - an Idol singer who has only debuted for 2 years - singing passionately along such a talented,veteran vocalist like Lim Jeong Hee and not for one second got overshadowed or overpowered by her is such a prideful thing for a fan.Oh and have I mentioned how gorgeous and prince-ly looking he was in that suit he wore?It was not the look that I had envisioned for Kwon to have for this duet performance but who cares,at the end of the day it's JoKwon Wangjanim belting his heart out sadly yet beautifully and making me want to hug him tightly and never let him go  beside somebody he looks up to,someone who used to be his vocal trainer.. and he shone brightly the whole time he was doing it.



And here are some photos of Kwonnie arriving at the KBS building for his Music Bank scheduleAccording to eyewitnesses it was not a cold day out but look at how Kwon was dressed; all covered up and layered.Sigh.
