KEY
In “나 혼자 산다 (I live alone)“, KEY awakens his professional idol personality even during his solo journey.
The sight of KEY enjoying a snap photo with visitors who recognize him in a beautiful landscape is laughable. The show also reveals the secret to taking a solo photo.
The MBC program “I live alone,” which aired on May 23, revealed the daily life of 34-year-old KEY who has left for Gangwon-do, his “home of the heart.“
In the published photo, KEY enjoys an impromptu photoshoot with visitors he met at Hwaamsa Temple in Goseong. KEY, who admired the beautiful view of Hwaamsa Temple in Goseong, which he often visits during his trips to Gangwon-do, said, “It’s so pretty” from a distance and suggested taking a photo with those who recognized him. Like an idol, a member of SHINee since he was 18, he reveals himself with a radiant smile.
When a temple employee saw KEY’s photo, he exclaimed, “He must be a star.” After an embarrassed smile, KEY broke into a broad grin upon seeing the temple’s bounty on a silver platter. Sitting on the steps with a silver platter beside him, he admired the open landscape and the warmth of Gangwon Province, his hometown. He is happy and says, “When I come to Gangwon-do, this happens all the time.”
KEY leaves a photo of himself alone. After seeing the result, he admires himself and says, “That’s why I always think I should come here with someone.” And wonders how it would go.
In a village-style lodging, KEY prepares his own dishes. He blends the culinary methods of his hometown, Gyeongsang Province, where he was born and raised, and Gangwon Province, the province he loves. Seasoning with “빠개장” (soybean) he brought from home is a key element. Expectations are high for the type of “빠개장” and its taste.
KEY, who has demonstrated a “professional idol personality” even during his travels, stars in “I live alone,” airing May 23 at 11:10 p.m. KST.
