In 2023, SHINee’s Key was a guest on GOT7 BamBam‘s popular talk show, Bam’s House, and opened up about his “top 3” dongsaengs.

As a second-generation K-Pop idol, Key named his junior labelmates NCT’s Renjun and Ten, as well as actor Seo Bum June.

In his own interview with BamBam, Ten revealed that his “top 3 hyungs” are TVXQ‘s Yunho, and SHINee’s Taemin and Key!

W Korea brought up the fact that Ten is one of Key’s “top 3 dongsaengs” and noted that Key has “a great discerning eye” and said that there must have been a reason why he liked Ten so much.

Ten humbly responded that he “never asked” Key why he was so nice to him, but revealed that the SHINee member takes really good care of him.

He shared that one time, when he was injured, he called to check in on him and asked him for a meal.

Ten concluded his discussion about Key by agreeing with the SHINee member’s mindset about practicing hard, saying, “I feel awkward and uncomfortable when I do nothing. If I have time, I am willing to do anything and it doesn’t have to be music or stage, as long as it is related to work.”
