Having earned his status as a ‘variety-dol’ by showing his humorous senses, Key quickly got along with the other members as well as the citizens of the country, thanks to his English skills and friendly personality.
Key also proved SHINee’s global popularity by gathering fans around him everywhere he went in Ethiopia. During a dinner with the other members at a hosting family’s house, Key’s fans visited, leading to a spontaneous fan meeting. Key reportedly hugged each of his fans upon seeing them tearing up to see him in person.
