On March 27 KST, SHINee's Key made a lively entrance into a new YouTube spin-off series called 'This Month's Gyewon', produced by the creators of Yoo Jae Suk's 'Just An Excuse'.

In this episode, Key paid a visit to the dorm of a 5th generation boy group to examine their closet items.

Upon stepping into the dorm, Key humorously remarked, "It's been a while since I've smelled the unique scent of an idol dormitory. It's a mix of various scents, somewhere between pleasant and not-so-pleasant. It brings back nostalgic memories."

As Key sifted through the boy group's wardrobe, he stumbled upon graphic tees adorned with logos of legendary rock bands.

He quipped, "These are the types of shirts you buy because they look cool, but end up only wearing them during practice sessions."

Prompted by the producers, Key reflected on the evolution of idol choreography practice videos. He explained, "In the past, those videos were raw and authentic because they were leaked without our consent. They weren't meant for public consumption. If we had control, Taemin wouldn't have worn his quirky barcode shirt, and I wouldn't have tied my bangs atop my head. We were just rookies!"

Key further elaborated, "But as those leaked videos gained traction, subsequent generations began intentionally creating choreography practice videos as content in their own right."

Viewers are invited to catch Key's entertaining adventure with the 5th generation idol group BOYNEXTDOOR on 'This Month's Gyewon'.
