In a sincere and revealing encounter, SHINee's Key recently sat down with Hyeri for a heart-to-heart conversation, shedding light on his fears and vulnerabilities.
The discourse unfolded in a video titled 'Key oppa really came to make fun of me,' released on Hyeri's YouTube channel, 'Hyeon's Club.'
Navigating Challenges: 'Nolto' and the Competitive Spirit
During the conversation, Hyeri probed Key about his experiences filming 'Amazing Saturday' (referred to as 'Nolto'), particularly delving into moments of anger on set. Key shared the unique atmosphere, where he felt the odd one out if he expressed strong emotions.
Reflecting on the challenges, he credited the 'Nolto' production crew for protecting the cast, acknowledging that without their support, the team might not be broadcasting today.
Key also unveiled his competitive spirit, expressing how minor irritations during afternoon recordings can stir his competitive nature unexpectedly.
Program Loyalty and Career Reflections: 'Nolto' vs. 'I Live Alone'
Key expressed profound gratitude for 'Nolto,' recognizing PD Lee Tae-kyung for the opportunity and pledging commitment, even if viewership were to plummet.
However, he drew a distinction, acknowledging 'I Live Alone' as a program elevated to a more significant level. Despite the love for both shows, Key emphasized the importance of not taking on more than two programs simultaneously.
Fear of Losing Self-Efficacy and the Weight of Age
The conversation took a poignant turn as Key admitted to deep-seated fears, particularly the dread of losing self-efficacy. At 34, he shared concerns about becoming obsolete and pondered the expectations surrounding his work.
Balancing Success and the Solitude Struggle
Reflecting on the aftermath of MBC's 'Gayo Daejejeon,' Key disclosed a personal moment when he sought a quiet hour alone. However, the dynamics of solitude were disrupted when Renjun extended an invitation to join the celebrations.
Key expressed the challenge of being misunderstood when desiring solitude and the significance of self-reflection, particularly when marking personal milestones.
In this candid exchange, SHINee's Key provides a rare glimpse into the personal and professional intricacies of a K-pop star, showcasing the human side behind the glittering facade of stardom.
