  thank your for this interview, SHINee members are too humble to accept the "Kpop's legends" title but they definitely are pioneers. More than pioneers, I believe they are visionaries and Key is one of the most unique artists in the scene right now, his work is both visually and musically - wise very interesting and he is such a great performer. They deserve their well-earned flowers for everything they did for the korean music industry and i am glad they are also thriving as soloists.

  It's nice to see kpop idols be treated like the grown adults they are with no weird innuendos, no pandering to salivating fangirls and just natural, deeper conversation about music.

  Thank you Zach. What a great interview. <br><br>I&apos;m sure you&apos;re aware of what&apos;s happening at the moment. Thank you for putting this up now. The fans need it but more than anything I hope Key sees the love and support he has. <br><br>Key - we love you. As your Dad said, it may not be easy, but that&apos;s life.

  Thank you for posting this during the drought- Key’s fans are putting content out there to keep him ‘alive’ during the drought, and I hope he is seeing the love here in the comments and elsewhere.

  키는 앞으로 세계적으로 활동했으면 좋겠다. 한국에서만 있기는 그동안 너무 아까웠음

  기범아 혹시 보고 있을까봐 남긴다. 밥 잘 챙겨 먹고, 규칙적으로 생활하고, 너무 늦게 자면 우울해지기 쉬우니까, 햇빛 잘 보고, 주변에 부모님이든 친구들이든 주기적으로 만나고, 너무 혼자만의 생각에 빠지지 말고. 버블 가끔씩 와서 메세지라도 확인해줬으면 좋겠어. 건강하자 기범아!

  So grateful for this interview. &nbsp;Hopefully Key will be back from his hiatus soon. &nbsp;Along with being tremendously talented, he is the most engaging ambassador for Kpop and Hallyu right now in the western world. &nbsp;The interaction between Key and his fans on this US tour is already legendary. &nbsp;His English has reached next level, he can engage in repartee in real time and his conversations with the audience were full of warmth and wit. &nbsp;His humor, gentle teasing, honest gratefulness and natural grace were a source of connection and joy for everyone there, and now people online everywhere else. &nbsp;He isn’t just loved, or admired for his absolutely unique vision as an artist, he is flat out uniquely valuable in making Kpop got international.

  SHINee members continuing to act like they aren’t legendary when they’ve had the kpop industry in awe for years now, like even other popular groups are huge fans of them.
