SHINee's Minho showcased his vibrant daily life on the latest episode of MBC's 'I Live Alone' aired on the 11th.
During the episode, Minho expressed his concerns about being caught between fellow member Key and close friend Code Kunst, saying, "I'm worried about what they'll say about my daily life since Key has known me since childhood and Code Kunst is close to my older brother." Code Kunst humorously added, "I've known Minho for over 30 years since he was in the fourth-grade space boy band."
Minho's daily routine was revealed, showing his struggle to wake up despite setting alarms at one-minute intervals. He admitted, "I need to set at least 20 to 40 alarms to wake up, even if I sleep for 6 to 10 hours." As the alarms continued to ring, Park Na-rae commented, "It seems stressful. Why not just sleep?" while Kian84 added, "I'm getting stressed just watching."
Celebrating five years of independent living, Minho proudly showcased his first solo home with a view of the Han River. The house, previously owned by actor Ha Jung-woo, was purchased by Minho for 5 billion won in cash. He explained, "I decorated it to match my style. I never prioritized the view when choosing a house, but I chose this one immediately. I wanted a comfortable home, so I used gray tones and a wooden bed. It's a house designed just as I envisioned."
Minho, who participated in a triathlon, shared, "I trained for two months for the Olympic course of swimming, cycling, and running, and successfully finished in the upper ranks." Having learned swimming just three months before the competition, he added, "My goal was to finish. I plan to compete again in November, aiming for the podium (TOP 3)."
Displaying a swimmer's muscular physique, Minho was driven by his coach's advice, "Use your hands for swimming. If you can't do this, you won't make it to the podium." Watching this, Jeon Hyun-moo couldn't hide his bewilderment, asking, "Why is he doing this?"
After completing training that even Olympic swimmer Park Tae-hwan endured, Minho humorously remarked, "It was tough initially, but I'm proud of myself for enduring. Although I still have a lot to improve, I'm satisfied as my skills are improving," mimicking a professional athlete's interview and causing laughter.
Watching Minho's dedication to exercise, Park Na-rae asked, "What about SHINee's activities?" Key responded, "If he messed up the choreography or lyrics, I would have stopped him from exercising, but since he does everything, I just let him live his life." Minho smiled, "If I couldn't do my main job, I would have been scolded."
Meanwhile, Minho surprised everyone with his 6-minute ramen challenge, where he turns on the stove and quickly showers while the ramen cooks. Jeon Hyun-moo expressed genuine curiosity, "Did he get heatstroke? Why do that?" Minho explained, "I want to shower and eat quickly. I finish within the 6-minute limit. It's really delicious," showcasing his passion.
