SHINee's Key Breaks Silence on 'Joo-sai-mo' Controversy with Stoic Selfie

SHINee member Key has remained silent amidst burgeoning controversy surrounding the 'Joo-sai-mo' incident, but has now shared a stoic selfie taken during his U.S. tour, drawing significant attention from fans.

Two photos of Key, currently on his American tour, were released on SHINee's official social media channels on the 14th. In the released images, Key is seen in stage attire and with a blonde hairstyle, gazing expressionlessly into a mirror as he prepares for his performance. The striking visuals hint at an intense stage presence.

Notably, Key appears unfazed by the recent allegations, sporting a determined expression that has sparked various interpretations among fans. This demeanor suggests his commitment to delivering a flawless performance for his audience.

Key is currently undertaking his '2025 KEYLAND : Uncanny Valley' U.S. tour, which began on March 3rd and concludes on the 15th. Due to this tour, he was unable to attend the recording of tvN's variety show 'Amazing Saturday'.

The controversy stems from Key being indirectly involved in the 'Joo-sai-mo' scandal involving comedian Park Na-rae. Posts emphasizing a decade-long relationship between Key and an individual referred to as 'Joo-sai-mo' (Person A) appeared on Person A's social media. Although Person A has since deleted the posts and deactivated their account, Key's continued silence has allowed the speculation to persist.

Fans are rallying behind Key, commenting, 'Key has nothing to do with this,' 'Let's not be swayed by rumors,' and 'Finish the tour strong and come back.'
