After months of inactivity, Key’s dormant social media account became active again on June 14.
Through SNS, the idol shared a heartfelt message with fans, writing, “Thanks to all of you, we were able to safely complete our performances at KSPO Dome and Belluna Dome. Every moment spent with you on stage was truly happy, and I think these memories will stay with me for a long time.”
He also expressed gratitude toward SHINee World, the group’s fandom, saying, “I sincerely thank SHINee World for always supporting us without change. Let’s meet again with an even better side of ourselves.”
This marks Key’s first social media update in approximately six months. His last post had been a statement addressing the so-called “Injection Aunt” controversy that surfaced in December last year.
As it was his first post in a long time, fans quickly flooded the comments section with warm reactions such as “We missed you,” “I’ve been waiting forever,” “Welcome back,” “Thank you for finding the courage,” and “It’s been so long.”
Last year, comedian Park Na Rae became embroiled in allegations related to illegal medical practices, and Key was also drawn into controversy due to his reported connection with a woman referred to as “Injection Aunt,” identified as A. Photos of Key’s pet dog, signed memorabilia, and gifts reportedly appeared on A’s social media account, sparking speculation.
At the time, Key remained silent throughout the controversy. After completing all of his scheduled domestic and overseas commitments, he eventually acknowledged the situation, stating, “There were times when it was difficult to visit a hospital, so I received treatment at home several times. I believed A was a licensed doctor and never thought receiving treatment at home would be problematic.” Following the statement, he suspended all entertainment activities.
As a result, Key stepped away from programs such as I Live Alone and Amazing Saturday, taking roughly five months away from public activities. He resurfaced last month through live performances.
The SHINee member participated in the group’s seventh solo concert, held over three days from May 29 to 31 at Seoul Olympic Park’s KSPO Dome.
Since it was his first appearance in front of fans following the controversy, many anticipated he might address the issue directly. However, Key chose to focus entirely on the performance rather than comment on the matter. Now, with his once-silent social media activity resuming, it appears he may be preparing for a full-scale return to entertainment.
Attention is now turning to whether Key will officially resume his television activities in the near future.
