Key explained that it was difficult for second-generation artists to connect with newer generations during the years the COVID-19 pandemic prevented in-person meetings and interactions.

After restrictions were relaxed and Key began attending music shows again, he found it easier to greet younger artists, though he still found difficulty becoming close to them due to their age gap.

One way he’s been able to break the ice with younger artists is through filming dance challenge videos with them.

Hyeri revealed she had only participated in (G)I-DLE‘s “Queencard” dance challenge because no one else “asked her to do it.”

SHINee’s Key is known for effortlessly picking up other idols’ choreography by watching Instagram reels and he often dances to other groups’ songs.
