• SHINee's Key Opens Up About Tears of Joy After Winning First Place: “I Feel Low Compared to SHINee's Brand Value”

    SHINee’s Key recently shared the heartfelt reason behind his tears after his solo song topped the charts.

    On the October 11 episode of KBS 2TV’s The Seasons - Lee Young-ji’s Rainbow, Key, who just finished his solo activities with “Pleasure Shop,” was a guest on the show.

    Host Lee Young-ji commented on his emotional moment, saying, "When you won first place on a music program and cried, I almost cried too. It’s really touching to see someone who deserves to be first actually achieve it without taking it for granted."

    In a video clip from the episode, Key couldn’t hold back his tears of gratitude, saying, "It's not easy to receive first place at my level, so I’m really thankful. I will keep working hard because this is my profession. Thank you."

    When Lee Young-ji asked about the meaning behind his tears, Key opened up about his journey. He said, "It's been three years since I achieved first place as a solo artist, and I was so happy that tears came out without me realizing it. The team has always had great vision and done well, but I was concerned that my standing was too low compared to the brand value of the team. So, I’ve been trying really hard to align with that, and now it feels more achievable. It’s fun."

    Key's heartfelt words show how much this achievement means to him, as he works to carve out his own path while staying true to the legacy of SHINee.

  • Kang Ye Won Breaks Down in Tears, Says She’s ‘Destined to Never Marry’—Joins Dating Show for Her 83-Year-Old Father

    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.
