Key was first discovered at the 2005 S.M. National Tour Audition Casting. Before he debuted with SHINee in 2008, he made an appearance in Super Junior’s Wonder Boy music video as an extra dancer. He featured in TRAX’s song ‘치유 (Healing)’, as well as ‘화성인 바이러스/Hwaseongin Virus (Boys & Girls)’ by SNSD/Girl’s Generation. He is known as the “triple threat” because he is a rapper, singer and dancer in the band, and for that reason was then given the title ‘Almighty Key’.


Fun Facts
• Calls MinHo and TaeMin “kids with no emotions” because they don’t cry as much as the other members
• Checks his phone and iPod as soon as he wakes up
• Onew, JongHyun, MinHo and TaeMin all chose him as the member they would date if they were a girl
• Gets angry when the members don’t eat the food he makes
• Is very good at drawing
• When he gets nervous, his voice suddenly changes to a higher pitch. It isn’t like he’s trying to be cute, it just happens
• According to MinHo, Key sometimes talks in a higher pitch just to act cute (and TaeMin thinks it is cute)
• He is easy to prank
• He says when he saw Shawols in Singapore celebrating his birthday during the SHINee World Concert, he was so touched he almost cried :’)
