In the upcoming episode of 'I Live Alone', SHINee's Key is seen enjoying a birthday date with his mother.
The MBC entertainment program 'I Live Alone' (directed by Heo Hang, Kang Ji-hee, Kim Jin-kyung, Lee Kyung-eun, Moon Gi-young) will air on the 19th at 11:10 PM, featuring Key enjoying a birthday date with his mother.
The released photos show Key sharing an umbrella with his mother while walking. Key expresses, "I can't really remember the last time I spent my birthday with my mom," as he promises to have a date with her in Daegu's Dongseongro, filled with memories to celebrate his upcoming birthday.
The two catch the eye in matching outfits, wearing striped t-shirts and black bottoms, resembling a 'couple look'. Key, linking arms with his mother, walks down the street reminiscing about his school days. They sit down to eat at a nostalgic restaurant and create more memories with a four-cut photo, which is a must during a date.
Before taking the four-cut photo, Key laughs at his mother's excited reaction, saying, "It's your first time, right?" Their cute two-shot with headbands brings smiles to viewers.
After the date, Key is touched by a surprise birthday meal prepared by his mother at their home. Unable to take his eyes off the birthday spread filled with his mother's love and care, Key is surprised to see the nostalgic food his grandmother used to make, exclaiming, "Did you cook this, mom?" His mother responds, "I put in some effort~," pleased with Key's reaction.
Previously, to celebrate his mother's retirement, Key surprised her by recreating the nostalgic 'Crab Soy Sauce Braise' using his grandmother's recipe. This time, his mother prepared the food that her son loved since childhood for his birthday.
Key surprises everyone by revealing, "It's still in the freezer," as he has kept the last food his grandmother made for him before she passed away for 13 years without eating it. This raises curiosity about what 'that food' is, which Key has cherished in longing for his grandmother, and what the taste of the food his mother made for him was like.
The birthday date scene of Key with his mother can be seen in 'I Live Alone', airing on the 19th at 11:10 PM.
