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.

BTS's V is making his fans fall even more in love with him as he shares moments from his life just 40 days before his military discharge.

On April 30, V posted several new photos on his Instagram story, giving fans a sneak peek into his daily routine.

Among the photos was a beautiful shot of cherry blossoms, accompanied by the word "cherry blossom" as he expressed his longing for spring.

He followed up with more photos, sharing how much he wanted to enjoy the season with his fans.

To make the post even more special, V added background music from BTS member J-Hope's song Sweet Dreams and Design by the American punk band Gustav.

It turns out that Gustav was grateful for V introducing their music to the world and even received fan comments saying they discovered the band through him.

In another adorable photo, V posed with CF director Ray J. Yi (Lee Jun Yeob), with flowers in his hair. The director also shared the cute photo, adding the word "flower" to express how happy he was with the moment.

But it wasn’t all about flowers and beauty—V also gave fans a peek at his workout routine. He proudly showed off his toned arm muscles in a picture, though his face appeared a little thinner.

This is likely due to his diet, as he’s been working hard to maintain his figure ahead of his discharge. Before enlisting, V weighed 62 kg, and during his service, he reached 86 kg. Now, he’s lost 10 kg and is preparing for his return to the public eye.

Interestingly, V has been working out at the same place where singer Kim Jong Kook films his popular YouTube channel Jim Jong Kook, sparking fan excitement and hopes that V might make an appearance on the show after he’s discharged.

As soon as V shared his latest update, his name—"KIM TAEHYUNG"—shot to the top of real-time trending charts worldwide. Fans from all over the globe, including in the U.S., couldn’t get enough of the updates, proving once again the massive impact V has.

He is set to be discharged from the military on June 10, and fans are eagerly awaiting his return.
