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.

Actor Lee Min Ho recently shared an unforgettable and embarrassing moment from his early career, revealing how he became a “falling star” at his first Baeksang Arts Awards.

On the December 25th episode of You Quiz on the Block (Episode 274), Lee Min Ho made a guest appearance and reflected on his rise to fame.

The actor, known for his iconic role as Goo Jun Pyo in Boys Over Flowers, won the Best New Actor award at the Baeksang Arts Awards, but it wasn’t just his victory that grabbed attention.

Lee Min Ho recalled, "I was attending the Baeksang for the first time, and I was so excited. Since I wasn’t going as Goo Jun Pyo, but as Lee Min Ho, I styled my hair in a perm and was ready to go." However, things took an unexpected turn when he tripped and fell on the red carpet.

He sighed, recalling, "That day, I fell. I fell and created so many memes. Even now, I look back and think, 'How did I walk that quickly on the red carpet?'"

Laughing at his own clumsiness, he admitted, "I was moving at the speed of light, no composure, no focus. Honestly, more than the joy of winning the award, that day was chaotic and so embarrassing for me."

Though his win was a highlight, Lee Min Ho humorously shared that the incident of tripping overshadowed the excitement of his achievement.

It’s safe to say that while the fall became a funny meme, it also became a lesson in humility for the actor, and a moment that fans still remember to this day.
