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'.

Actress Kang Ye Won got emotional as she opened up about why she took a break from broadcasting and why she’s finally giving love a chance.

On the March 3 episode of tvN STORY’s Can I Love Now?, Kang Ye Won made her debut as a new participant looking for romance.

During the broadcast, she revealed that negative online comments had deeply affected her. "I used to cry all the time reading comments. I get hurt easily. What might be a small wound for others feels like a huge blow to me," she shared, expressing the stress she faced from malicious remarks.

She also admitted that at one point, she wanted to leave everything behind. "I kept thinking, ‘How long do I have to keep working this hard?’ and it became overwhelming."

She added, "At one point, I thought, ‘I should just quit everything and move to the countryside,’ and that idea actually gave me peace," she confessed.

When it came to dating, Kang Ye Won shared that she had always been content watching others fall in love.

"It never worked out for me. I wasn’t the type to ask for introductions either. I just found comfort in living as an observer. Maybe it’s my fate. I’m fearful, and I lack courage. If I feel like someone might hurt me, I block them out from the start," she admitted.

However, the actress revealed that she ultimately joined Can I Love Now? for her father. "My dad was born in 1943. He had me late in life, and his health isn’t great."

She added, "I realized that if I continue living alone like this, I won’t be able to give my parents any hope until the moment they pass away," she said with tears in her eyes. "My perspective on life has changed. I no longer think just about myself, but about my parents."

Kang Ye Won’s heartfelt confession touched many viewers, leaving fans rooting for her to find happiness.
