On MBC‘s ‘I Live Alone’, SHINee Key caught everyone’s attention by revealing his changed daily life, including his new house cleaning maniac and his terrace romance that couldn‘t be stopped even by the cold spring weather. In addition, Joo Seung Lee was an unstoppable source of laughter with his daily life full of passion for ‘Deep Green’, including his hiking date with Coco.

On the ‘I Live Alone’ broadcast on the 28th, SHINee Key’s new house and Joo Seung Lee and Coco‘s hiking scene were revealed. The viewership rating was 6.4% in the metropolitan area. The 2049 viewership rating was 3.9% (based on the metropolitan area). The best minute was the scene where Key prepares breakfast in his new house (23:41~23:42). He caught everyone’s attention by showing off his fancy plating skills, filling a plate with cucumbers. The Rainbow members burst into laughter at Key‘s earnest attitude toward plating, joking, “I’ll see you in 6 months,” and “I‘ll see you in a month.” The viewer ratings peaked at 8.2%.

Key’s new house, which was first revealed on ‘I Live Alone’, was ‘Key’ itself. From its unusual structure to its amazing view, its terrace for his dog Comme des Garçons, and its stylish interior, it was a perfect fit for Key. Key‘s morning routine, which changed to suit his home, also caught everyone’s attention. He showed off his excitement by using three vacuum cleaners, becoming a ‘cleaning maniac’, preparing breakfast with fancy plating, and perfectly doing the dishes and cleaning up the kitchen afterward.

Key also visited a camping gear store to buy a grill to make his terrace barbecue dream come true. Among the many types of grills, Key was truly captivated by the red grill. His appearance, completely captivated by the news that it was the only one left in the country, drew sympathy and laughter.

As soon as he got home, Key started making homemade burgers using the grill. He showed his sincerity in realizing his dreams by grilling the patties he made himself in the cold spring weather where even his breath was steaming. He even grilled a special sweet potato dish for Comme des Garçons and held a ‘Kim‘s Moving In Celebration Party’. Key, who tasted the homemade burger in the cold, expressed his satisfaction, saying, “It was a taste that brought tears to my eyes.”


Lastly, Key said, “Since I started living with my parents, my home should be my sanctuary, fortress, amusement park, restaurant, bar, and everything else. I heard that you have to feel all of these separately to live well,” he said, sharing his happy plans for the future in his new home, such as opening a food truck on the terrace in the summer and grilling skewers in the fall.

In the meantime, Lee Joo-seung welcomed spring with a hiking date with his dog Coco. Lee Joo-seung, who used to be last in the hierarchy to Coco, showed his chemistry with Coco, saying that they have become more like friends. Lee Joo-seung goes hiking every week to improve his physical strength and Coco, who needs to diet because she weighs ‘8kg’. While climbing the endless stairs, Lee Joo-seung suddenly stops and refuses to climb, but when he picks up Coco and continues climbing, we can guess his love for Coco.

After the hike, Lee Joo-seung went to his mother’s house to drop Coco off. The moment Lee Joo-seung said goodbye to Coco and was about to leave the house, the Rainbow members burst into laughter in sympathy at his mother’s ‘quantum mechanics communication’ that transcended time. From the direction of brushing teeth to skin care wishes, in a random conversation, Jeon Hyun-moo expressed his mother’s feelings by saying, “I don‘t have time to see you, so I’m telling you everything at once.” However, when Lee Joo-seung responded indifferently to his mother‘s story and closed the door and left, the Rainbow members were even more flustered and scolded him, causing laughter.


After that, Lee Joo-seung bought a new comforter in the color ‘deep green’ that is popular these days to welcome spring. His pupils dilated when he saw the price of the full set of goose down and comforter, and he showed his meticulousness by diligently taking advantage of discounts and gifts. However, the way the comforter was set up on the bed reminded him of an operating room, causing the Rainbow members to tease him and call it the ‘Joo Seung Trauma Center’, causing laughter.

Lee Joo-seung also prepared a delicious and healthy meal with spinach pesto pasta and an omelet. After many twists and turns, including broken eggs and cheese powder lids coming off, a sumptuous meal was completed. The sight of Lee Joo-seung enjoying a meal at the table on the ‘Deep Green’ bed reminded me of a hospital again and made me laugh until the end. Although it wasn’t perfect, Lee Joo-seung welcoming spring in his own way was heartwarming.
