SHINee Key “Driving force? An attitude of ‘just doing it without getting impatient’ [Photoshoot]

The cover pictorial for the March issue of WWD Korea featuring SHINee Key has been released.‘

This pictorial was shot in Koh Samui, a quiet resort area where pristine nature lives and breathes. In the pictorial, Key shows off a variety of suit styling and appeals with a mature charm that is quite different from his existing image. It is said that he led the scene with a professional attitude even in the heat of nearly 30 degrees. From minimalistic setups to comfortable knitwear and denim, he perfectly pulled off a variety of styles and proved his image as a style icon once again.

An interview followed the pictorial shoot. When asked about the driving force behind his consistent activities, Key said, “I think it‘s all thanks to his attitude of ‘just doing it without getting impatient.’ There were many difficult times, but I honestly answered, “I took it for granted because I thought, ‘This is my job and my career,’ and I think I was able to do it consistently.” He, who is also active in entertainment, said, “I have consistently appealed my lifestyle through SNS. And I think the entertainment industry saw me when I put down my combative mindset as I realized after being active for a long time. I think it worked out well in many ways.”

SHINee Key, who is preparing for solo activities and full SHINee promotions in 2025. The pictorial that captures his comfortable and relaxed appearance and the full interview that gives a glimpse into his inner self can be found in the March issue of WWD Korea.
