Winter of aespa Playfully Exposes SHINee's Key on 'Amazing Saturday'

Winter from aespa humorously revealed a story about her SM Entertainment senior, Key from SHINee, on the October 5th episode of tvN's 'Amazing Saturday'.

During the episode, aespa members Karina, Winter, Ningning, and Giselle made a guest appearance. Winter surprised everyone by saying, "There's someone here whose face I find uncomfortable to see," referring to Key. The cast jokingly speculated whether Key had been too strict with his juniors.

Winter shared, "We were filming for Hatchuping at the company. I hoped no one would see me, but as I checked my surroundings, I ran into Key in the hallway. He asked, 'What are you doing?' and took a photo of me with his phone."

Key explained, "aespa's concept is strong and metallic, but I thought maybe her taste had changed to something quirky, like wearing a crown in everyday life." Winter added, "I couldn't even explain myself before he disappeared," eliciting laughter from the audience.

Meanwhile, Karina expressed her admiration for Key and Taeyeon, saying, "I have a performance I want to show. Taeyeon taught me camera angles, and Key advised, 'Speak at this moment to stand out' and 'Dance when the song plays.' I'm ready to show my performance and get a solo shot." MC Boom added, "I heard the lights at the SM practice room were on until dawn," raising anticipation.

Giselle caught attention by declaring, "In the snack game, I'll shout my name and pick up wrong answers." Moon Se-yoon suggested, "Since Shindong shouts 'Shin', you should shout 'Jel' for Giselle."

Ningning recalled a previous appearance where she felt dismissed by Kim Dong-hyun, saying, "He said I seemed like I'd be the worst." Kim Dong-hyun responded, "Chances are, your skills haven't improved," maintaining his stance. Key retorted, "How can you say an adult can't do dictation just because they're foreign?" Kim Dong-hyun explained, "Outside, I'm an adult, but here, I'm like a child. In terms of dictation skills, I'm like a 7-year-old."
