SHINee Key reacted to the viral “empty space” that he, Minho, and Taemin left for the late Jonghyun during a concert.
Was it intentional?
Key Clarifies ‘Empty Space’ For Jonghyun in SHINee’s Formation Was ‘Unintentional’
On September 18, SHINee Key who made a comeback with his second solo mini-album, “Good & Great,” appeared on 1theK’s original content, “IDDP.”
In the video, the idol would find, sympathize, and clarify fans’ opinions and support written in various platforms. While skimming articles on theqoo, Key then came across of an article, titled, “The reason why Key and Minho stayed so close together at the SHINee concert.”
When he opened it to read, the netter pointed out:
“I saw Taemin by himself. Key and Minho are soulmates, indeed. We were all saying their chemistry is like that of an old couple. I didn’t even think of it until this came into my thread. Maybe it’s just me who feels that way. But I was wondering why Key and Minho always stay so close together at first.
But after watching their concert for all 3 days, I realized, the space between Taemin and Minho was where Jonghyun stood.”

Upon reading it, Key explained:
“That’s true. For almost 10 years, we’ve been performing in 5-person formations. So somehow, I found myself standing this way. So, this, gap, it’s there.”
He then clarified:
“We can’t help it. It wasn’t intentional. But we’re so used to it.”
Seeing it, even Key find it amusing, adding:
“It’s so amazing, isn’t it? We also think it’s really interesting. We maintain this same formation on stage.”
SHINee Key Talks About Members’ Rhyming Solo Album Titles: ‘We are all connected’
In the same interview, the “Gasoline” singer also read an article emphasizing how each member’s solo debut album titles end with the “ss” sound, starting with Taemin’s “ACE,” Jonghyun’s “BASE,” Key’s “FACE,” Onew’s “VOICE,” and Minho’s “CHASE.”
Key explained that the albums that came after that have all different sounds then, but the rhyming albums signal the beginning of their solo careers.
“The names also hint that we still are part of a group. It is true we came up with solo albums, but the fans probably didn’t feel anxious that we’d disband or anything. We are all connected. We can’t work without each other.”
Meanwhile, on September 11, SHINee Key returned with his new mini-album, “Good & Great,” with a same-name title song.
