Key is very talented, as known to have 'triple treat' as he can dance, sing and rap at the same time. He became SM Trainee after an energetic dance performance at the audition held in his hometown Daegu.

Key is known to dance girl groups' dances very well, as he only watch them 2 or 3 times and able to dance along correctly. He is the original idol who started the 'girl group dance' trend, not some other idols who also do this as him. He hasn't officially dance to girl groups dances for a while now but watching some fancams he still do it, just for fun. Key's also very good in learning languages. He came to LA when he was 12 to study English, so his English skill is quite acceptable. Now as SHINee's debut in Japan, he's studying Japanese and his Japanese is the best of SHINee members.

If SHINee win any award and cry, Key will be the first member to cry. But he doesn't cry the most, as that person is Jonghyun. He is also a very pious child and grandchild. He lived with his grandmother since he was born, as his mom was sick after giving birth of him, and his father was always busy working (his father is a businessman). He really loves his family, as he always mentions their names on celebratory speech of SHINee, and his family is very proud of him also.

Key loves painting and art very much. And he had a small exhibition with his uncle not long ago, where his random pieces of art being shown public for the first time.
