My FIRST LOOK at KEY 키 👀 ‘Good & Great’ REACTION

[@Keke88]

Shinee's Key is talented to the max and really works so hard. I love his fun vibe on this -- My favorites of his are Easy, Another Life, Killer, Bound and Gasoline. Key keeps putting out the hits and I am loving it.

[@iamjadece]

KEY's got some of my favorite kpop songs EVER with Hate That, Bad Love and I wanna be

[@genevievehiguera6162]

Key the complete artist. He has been in charge of fashion for MVs for Shinee for years. On his albums it's his concept, artistic components, choreo, outfits, Key's creativity touches every aspect. Choreo king he can learn a dance in minutes and knows and can perform more girl groups choreo than anyone. But lest we not forget his vocals and vocal range. Key's Bad Love album I wore out in 2021. Title track Bad !ove that has an 80's look and vibe wjth a sound and vocals you could hear the WEEKEND slide right into. I know you would love it Teddy. In my opinion a KEY/ WEEKEND collab would be nuclear. 💥💥💥 There is a Key/Weekend Mashup for Mad Love.

[@Bamgeutcutiepie]

yeiii KEY. 💕 he is amazing on every level. i can't believe this is your first KEY song, when you have heard shinee and taemin. this is just ONE song in this style. he has some BANGERS. please please please check him out 🔥 BAD LOVE is a must to hear!

[@EliseLogan]

Key is an amazing soloist. Every member of SHINee is a fantastic solo performer, you just can't go wrong with group or any of them individually. Key is just the absolute king of concepts - his marketing for his solo stuff is so good. Some of my faves of his: Helium, Bound, One of Those Nights (ft. Crush), Hate That (ft.Taeyeon), Gasoline... all of it is fabulous.

[@noemibernal4882]

As I said in the live chat, I looove Key! He's so great! And his personality too because he's so sassy

[@josephmarilyndunford8422]

You already liked Key since I happened to come across your reaction video to SHINee’s HARD several days ago :)) Looking forward to watch your future reaction to this delightfully eccentric and splendidly talented artist.

[@essaytutoring6699]

If I remember correctly, you already reacted to Shinee HARD, Key is the member of Shinee. Taemin is also in Shinee. Shinee has 5 top tier soloists. Please do one hour with Key next ❤ He is my ult bias of kpop ❤

[@amandag1337]

Key makes me smile. I love SHINee!

[@marypocol8017]

Key is an amazing artist! More Key please!

[@marzenun]

Key is in one band with Taemin! There are five of them! They have all amazing solo careers and together they are unnmatched! Their name is SHINee and they have 15 years of amazing, iconic and eclectic discography.

[@4Peace.]

Key is a member of beloved SHINee, along with Onew, Jonghyun, Minho, and Taemin. He began as a rapper, alongside Minho, and now SHINee is a group of main vocalists. Key is the fashionista/designer of the group, and is solo work is creatively next level. This is from his newest release. Thank you for your reactions. Also, please more Taemin and SHINee 💜

[@s.l.l.1029]

I really recommend his song "Gasoline", it's an absolute banger, as well as "Killer" and his collaboration with Soyeon from (G)I-dle in "I wanna be"

[@piecesofmind9853]

Key debuted with SHINee in 2008 (alongside Taemin, Onew, Minho, and Jonghyun), so he's been in the industry for a while. He's a fashion icon in Kpop, and is one of the stylists in SM, has styled SHINee as well as himself in both live performances and mvs. His mvs usually have many wonderful wardrobe changes. Definitely recommend Bad Love, Helium (no mv for this one), and Killer.

[@DavidSamollow60]

As a working class, this is really relatable. Thats why i love him, because how genius he is & all his work. Especially "The Sim" transition scene, i like it. 🗝️👑❤ I also like when they gave him a round of applause like, "Congratulations, you managed to wake up to fight again this morning!" 😄😄 Its just such an encouraging song for work. Remember y'all, u r already doing GOOD & GREAT. Hang in there my fellow workers! 💪👏👏👏 #KEY #Kpop #KimKibum

[@universe986]

a lot of Key's solo work is very retro inspired. you should check out Bad Love by him, absolute banger

[@Soppon]

So happy to see you finally did a Key reaction! As many people have pointed out he's a member of SHINee and is crazy talented. I feel you'll really like Bad Love, Killer, and Another Life with their 80s beats. My partner is mostly indifferent on kpop but sometimes when I have it playing in our condo he will ask me to play Key Bad Love because it's just such an amazing song. Fun fact, you know that meme of a guy putting on a Ronald McDonald wig? That's Key getting ready for an SM Halloween party. Also absolutely love him in interviews and variety shows.

[@milindawilson9175]

"Good & Great" is the title track from Key's newest mini album Good & Great, which was just released, and including his Japanese album and repackages, this is Key's 6th solo album. "Good & Great" is the beginning of a new style and concept for him. How I interpret the "Good & Great" lyrics and MV is that Key is experiencing the monotony of life as an average person who spends every day doing the same things. Like most people, to keep motivated he keeps telling himself, "I'm good, I'm great ..." I should be grateful because I have a job and I'm getting paid. But as we see in the MV, life is a never-ending loop like a character in a game or the robotic life of an office worker. We see him smiling, looking happy as he tells himself that "I'm good, I'm great," but everyone he is interacting with just keeps nodding along until their heads fall off, representing how they are not really being fully engaged in the conversation or whatever task they are trying to complete, etc. Day in and day out life is always the same, we just keep going through our tasks, trying to get ahead, with little to no recognition from anyone except ourselves. Which is why we see in the choreography that he pats himself on the head, because the only encouragement he gets is from himself. The cute fuzzy red, pink, purple and blue monsters you see in the MV, which are called BOK-SILLee, have sort of become Key's mascot, ever since they were first introduced as part of his Gasoline album merchandise and concept. (You can actually purchase those monsters as little stuffed toys.) In the end of the MV, you see Key dressed like a BOK-SILLee as he tries to break free from the boring life of the working class. From his outfits to the backup dancers looks, to the set designs and story concept, as well as the song lyrics, and the whole album was designed or chosen by him. Key is involved in the entire creative process when it comes to his solo work and everything you see and hear is what he envisioned for this entire album concept. Every aspect is all part of his design. When people say, "there is no one or nothing out there like it," they are right. Key is 100% that artist. A legend on par with Taemin's legendary concepts and styles. No wonder they are both members of SHINee. Key is our fashionista of the group, who is SHINee's stylist for a lot of their MVs and stage outfits. He is known for really paying attention to detail when it comes to fashion. To Key, fashion is about being unique and looking for ways to stand out, without being outrageous. So, everything you see him wearing will be very trendy and fashionable. Many people in the industry look to Key when it comes to fashion trends. That's also why SM has made him its director of fashion. SHINee is also known for creating fashion trends, so designers really covet a chance to work with any of the members of SHINee -- but especially Key -- because SHINee will give them street cred and undoubtedly make them more popular. He is also regarded as SHINee's dance copy machine. Key has the ability to see and remember choreography the fastest in the group. He has a photographic memory when it comes to choreography, so he only needs to watch the dance once and he has it memorized. He is an unbelievably skilled dancer, who can take any dance and make it his own. And on top of all of that, Key is SHINee's fluent English speaker, and he is almost as good as a native speaker. He is recognized for being one of the best non-native English speakers in the Kpop industry. (In middle school he studied for a short time in Australia and New York. Plus, his grandma had an English tutor when he was growing up.) That is why his pronunciation of the English lines in his songs are so crisp and clear. As a member of SHINee -- which is one of SM Entertainment's top vocal groups, who were vocal coaches and mentors to a lot of SM trainees, including several of the EXO members -- Key's amazing vocal range and dance skills shouldn't be surprising, that's just what the members of SHINee are known for. And, not only is Key an amazing singer, but he is also one of SHINee's rappers. How often do you see a rapper with that type of vocal range? That's why SHINee are so highly respected in the industry because almost no one can do it the way SHINee does it. As SM Entertainment's experimental boy group, everything SHINee does is meant to be the first and they are expected to set the trend. Everything the members of SHINee release should be a sound and style you have never heard in Kpop before, because they are the ones who are supposed to introduce the next style and sound to the industry. With every new song SHINee produces it's expected to be different than the last -- including the members solo work -- so you will never hear the same style or sound from Key in any of his songs, even on the same album, and yet, somehow it will always be very Key-like. As you are starting to discover, SHINee are known for having some of the best singers in all of Kpop. If you were to listen to Key singing a cappella while performing this intense choreography he would sound just as flawless as in the MV. That is why, even as rookies, senior artists would stop what they were doing to watch SHINee's rehearsals on music programs because SHINee's vocal talent is that impressive and nobody was performing the way SHINee was doing it. When SHINee debuted in 2008, all 5 of the members were teenagers -- Key was only 16 -- and they were one of the youngest groups at the time. However, even then, they were shocking everyone with their talent. SHINee was the first group to demonstrate how it was possible to sing live while performing intense choreography and still maintain stable vocals. Before SHINee, the thought within the industry was that it wasn't possible to sing live and also perform high intensity choreography at the same time. At that time, most groups would either sing live and have simple choreography, or they would have crazy cool choreography but lip sync to their recorded vocals. SHINee was the group that changed the industry and proved that if you wanted to compete you needed to up your game. SHINee are always on another level and they are constantly outdoing themselves with every new project. It amazes me that after more than 15 years SHINee can still continue to reinvent the Kpop industry with every new release, whether it's as a group project or one of the member's solos, and yet they do it every time without fail. SHINee are the originators and trendsetters of everything you see Kpop groups doing today. If you enjoyed this, just wait until you hear his other solo songs. Key had his solo debut in 2018, so there is a lot more to check out from him, as well as more than 14 full length SHINee albums, numerous mini albums and hundreds of concert performances -- with 15 years of content to catch up on, you have a lot more to explore. ;)

[@kanato_san1824]

Key gasoline is your style!!

[@fajarkurniawan6623]

Yass More Key pls

[@avaseofpeonies_writer]

As others have mentioned, Key is a member of SHINee. This is a bit reminiscent of SHINee's Married to the Music MV. I think you'd like that one. For more Key solos, check out Killer and Gasoline.

[@lili9800]

Key is a really talented artist. He's a member of Shinee, just like Taemin. You should really check out Bad Love and Gasoline from Key. But also Shinee as a group if you haven't already. They're a really great group with really wide discography. They definitley have songs that you'll like

[@deannaevans4564]

I absolutely love that you decided to react to Key's new song. SHINee was my first kpop group I ever stumbled upon and Key has been my Bias ever since. I would love to see you do something like you did for his group mate Taemin and go through his other videos all at once. Key is an amazing artist. he stands out in SHINee and absolutely shines in his solo work.

[@cynthiavance3239]

KEY!! Fabulous Sassmaster and all round talent. As others have said, he is from Shinee. Shinee is the Only kpop group where every single member has a solo career as well. Taemin and Key are the most prolific, followed by Onew and Jonghyun. Minho has released the least amount so far. Shinee are the Princes of Kpop Because they are All Insanely talented. Key has a great retro vibe in a lot of his music. I Love them All and it's Great to see you exploring more of them. 😁👍❤️❤️

[@snoopygirl98]

Key is the guy who sang the “ad astra” line in Shinee’s “Hard”. BAD LOVE next, please! 🙏

[@PearlAquaMama]

Key is not only an amazing singer, dancer, and rapper, he is also a fashion designer, and a certified chef Key and Taemin are in SHINee along with Onew, Minho and Jonghyun. All of SHINee members are phenomenal soloists. I highly recommend checking out more of Key’s solo works as he is absolutely a creative genius. Putting in his own $ to bring his visions to life. I recommend Bad Love, and Villan, if you like retro throwbacks Jonghyun’s vocals are some of the best if not THE best in the industry His live Crazy performance is 🔥 Also Jonghyun is the first artist from SM to fully write and produce his own album. She Is Onew is also one of the most Amazing vocalists. I recommend Dice, circle, and Blue And Minho has a deeper voice and a nice mellow tone. Home and Chase showcase his beautiful sound.

[@pixiepeachii]

You mentioned in your Taemin video that you liked the weeknd’s 80’s sound and wanted to hear more of it, I think you’d really enjoy Key’s “Killer” and really just key’s solo work in general 🙏🏼 I’d love if you could do an hour with Key as well :))

[@simsek_prlts]

You should watching BAD LOVE by KEY from Shinee

[@sarjie5971]

Leave it to Key to come up with something new. Found my work anthem.. this song is so relatable. Key is a member of SHINee along with Taemin. Dubbed as the almighty Key, he is a complete package - singer, dancer, rapper.. he hosts a lot of variety and music shows and a fashionista too, designing clothes for SHINee. He had released a lot of solo music. Would recommend for you to check out Bad Love.

[@Soppon]

If you want another amazing work anthem I highly recommend NINE to SIX - Don't Call Me. NINE to SIX is a subunit of DKZ and the lyrics to this song is fire. The printer part gets me so good every time.

[@sofiadermati8073]

Since you have reacted to Key, Taemin and Hard mv! You should do a Shinee Marathon!!!

[@zosha.]

This one is brighter than the other ones. He said he wanted to try something else. I love Key for his personality, I'm glad he's savage enough to be the artist he wants to be. I feel he still has a lot to show.

[@anabananadwaekki]

😂some heads rolled in this MV😂

[@NijiOfNatsu]

Now we need more Key reactions and Shinee reactions

[@Niki91-HR]

You did react to him... He is in SHINee as well as Taemin heheheheheh. ;) They are bandmates. KEY is awesome. His last full album has great bangers.

[@Luna-vn8vo]

You should totally react to Tongue Tied, Killer, Easy, Bad Love, Hate that.., Gasoline, Live Without You, Eighteen, Why are you here, One of those Nights, & Cold.

[@jannyjanecornejo6853]

Amazing Key from SHINee 👑💯💎

[@NyxNx]

All the members of SHINee have put out solo work. From the videos on your channel, it seems you have now checked out a little Taemin and Key. You should also check out Onew, Minho, and Jonghyun. If you are going to go down the SHINee rabbit hole, you might as well go all the way. 😉

[@millieg-bj1ko]

He is a member of SHINee.Knows every girl group choreo.Very good dancer and he learns choreography really fast. Check out his MV's Gasoline, Killer, Hate that...

[@SHINeeMacknae]

Key is also a Godly member of SHINee. Theres also beautiful Minho and Onew. 😊

Hi, i am back. Good reaction, ty. Teddy u heard of Key. He older bro to Taemin in Shinee. Key is the 2nd rapper in Shinee. He loves Star Track and retro music. Many of his songs are that. I wonder if u would like Gasoline. Hmm. The imagery is cool. This was my 2nd listen and yep it's catchy. He changed his sound but it's still him. Hugs. -NY USA 2019 Army💟

[@mvillabaca]

I really love Key's album Bad Love, you should listen to it!

[@tiffanygolden9935]

Key is in Shinee with Taemin and Hes amazing. I recommend Bad love, Gasoline, music videos and all english songs Helium and Another world, fan made lyric videos.

[@ShawolOT5]

I literally JUST commented a reply to someone on your Taemin “ADVICE” video that I was hoping you’d react to this and more from Key. Knowing how much you love retro sounds, he’s right up your alley! Key really is a class of his own…dare I say, it’s of a SHINee caliber (yes, he’s a member of the legendary Princes of KPOP along with Taemin). The entire album is phenomenal with his incomparable retro flare. No one does retro as well as Kibum and SHINee. No one. (Please remember these are my opinions and yours may differ-I respect that. Please respect mine.) Anyhoo… the album is full of groovy, spacey, house sounds with lovely synths and dance flows. The vocals and raps are, as expected from anyone of SHINee, top tier. I cannot wait for the choreo to these songs!!! I honestly wish we could get MVs for each one because they’re all dynamic…I love how Kibummie not only puts out great music, but pairs it with great stories, as well. Each of the songs is strong enough to be a title track, in my opinion, but GOOD & GREAT really does set the mood and was the perfect choice among them to represent the album. Just another day in Keyland with the G.O.A.T!!! Now, for some info on our very own Captain Freak: Key (Kim Kibum - 23 Sep 1991), Vocalist, Dancer, Rapper, Fashion Designer. Shawol Fandom Name-Lockets (he’s our Key). Kibum also calls us Lil Freaks (inspired by Lady Gaga’s lil monsters…he’s our Captain Freak). Key’s monicker is “Almighty Master Key” and he’s certainly earned that title from the very beginning. He was the ONLY applicant chosen of the 8000 that auditioned the day he was signed with SM Entertainment. He started in SHINee as Lead Rapper, Lead Dancer, and Sub-Vocalist (but those titles didn’t last long for any of the SHINee members as they’re all all-rounders-sounds familiar…Stray Kids, perhaps?). Kibum is also an actor, official fashion director for SM Entertainment, former fashion editor for ELLE Korea, venerated and in-demand MC, and has a skincare line with Youlief entitled “Face” and a collaboration with the cosmetics line Espoir. He’s a longtime cast member of the weekly show, “Amazing Saturday”, is currently a member of the “I Live Alone” television series, and is an accomplished stage actor. Furthermore, he is known as one of the best-dressed men in Korea and began designing SHINee‘s concert attire in 2015. He’s also constantly going viral for something, randomly appears on the news, and has been memed multiple times. In fact, one of his viral memes from years ago recently turned into a real-life endorsement with McDonald’s! Shawol was blessed earlier this year with the release of his highly-anticipated repackage: “KILLER”, the conclusion to his retro trilogy which (unsurprisingly) slayed the industry! What else should we expect from our all-rounder KEY-LLER, though?! The aforementioned retro trilogy is a concept Kibum has been brewing on for over 16 years and is comprised of the pre-release single “Hate That” ft his “twin” Taeyeon, with the albums “Bad Love”, “Gasoline”, and “Killer”. The albums and music videos themselves are works of actual art: space ray guns, B-level space movie-esque themes, VHS tapes, floppy discs, game consoles, cassette tapes, magazines, and the introduction of BOK SILLee (the colorful character in this MV). It’s truly an 80s kids’ dream!!! I should know…I was born in ‘81. 😂 Sounds include spacey vibes, lots of synth, cool grooves, house, and impeccable vocals. I truly hope you check out more of his works, Teddy. You absolutely will not regret it.

I'm sure by now you know that Taemin and Key are members of Shinee, as well as Choi Min-Ho and Onew (he has that killer woice you liked in "HARD"... SHINEE debuted in 2008. Shinee is considered "The Princes of K-pop" for their perfect harmonies, classy dance moves, and trend-setting fashion. The group is composed of four members: Onew, Key, Minho, and Taemin. Originally a five-piece group, main vocalist Jonghyun passed away suddenly in December 2017. I Know you have heard some of these, but here are some songs/MV's to listen to from my list-- older list: 1 - Ring Ding Dong 2 - Lucifer 3 - Shinee Girl 4 - Sherlock NEWER: 5 - Hard 6 - Juice 7 - The Feeling 5 - Don't Call Me 6 - Atlantis 7 - C.O.D.E. 8 - Heart Attack 9 - Marry Me They each have solo releases too, of which Taemin is the most prolific and is considered the "MJ" of K-pop. Just watching him perform is proof. He also did a mesmerizing dance collaboration with Jimin of BTS at an awards show; you can see it on KZbin. Songs/MV's: 1 - Advice (1of the best song/MV's of his... Newest) 2 - Criminal 3 - Idea 4 - Move Min-ho: 1 - HeartBreak 2 - I'm Home 3 - Chase Onew: 1 - Blue 2 - Dice 3 - Nessun Dorma (opera shows how powerful his voice is) 4 - O - CIRCLE Key: 1- Bad Love 2 - Gasoline 3 - Hate That.... 4 - Forever Yours

[@universe986]

Jonghyun also has a lot of solo work. also they themselves consider SHINee a five members groups even after Jonghyun's passing

Pleeease react to B.I I know you will love his music. He is a solo artist from Korea. He is so good at singing, dancing and rapping. He has his own label, it's called 131. He produces his songs himself and writes the lyrics. I recommend his first solo song Waterfall or Keep the fire alive, illa illa or Keep me up. He has so many good songs. BTBT is his most famous song, Soulja Boy is also on the song. Believe me it is exactly the music you are looking for.
