SHINee Minho Reveals Unexpected Bonsai Hobby on I Live Alone, Reunites with Key

SHINee's Minho is currently generating buzz in Korea for revealing an unexpected new hobby on the MBC program 'I Live Alone,' showcasing a side of him that contrasts with his well-known athletic image. This fresh perspective on Minho's daily life, coupled with fellow SHINee member Key's recent return to public activities and their visible friendship, is captivating audiences.

Minho, known for his passion for triathlons and running, surprised viewers by quietly tending to bonsai trees, even referring to his plants as his 'sons.' He has been learning bonsai for over two months, attending weekly classes. Concurrently, Key recently shared a cheerful dance challenge with Minho on his personal social media, marking his bright return after a period of hiatus following the 'Jusaimo' controversy in December of the previous year. Key resumed group activities with SHINee's 6th mini-album 'Atmos' in June and launched his personal YouTube channel in July.

Local bloggers expressed surprise at Minho's calm and patient new hobby, noting how it contrasts with his usual 'flaming charisma' and competitive nature, though his competitive spirit reportedly resurfaced when a friend joined his bonsai class. Bloggers and netizens welcomed Key's bright updates, particularly his reunion with Minho, which was seen as a positive sign of his full return to the entertainment scene.
