On the other hand, SHINee Key unveiled never-been-told behind-the-scenes stories of how the group was formed, including his trainee journey under SM Entertainment. 

Key, who dropped his second mini-album "Good & Great" on the 11th, opened up about his group and solo career in SM Entertainment for 16 years.

"It was always SM (for me) from the beginning. I wanted a company with capital. I liked K-pop since I was young. I like TVXQ and BoA, so I auditioned for SM 3 times. I didn't like other companies. I just want it. I think I was just really destined to go to SM."

"I took an audition at the age of 15 and became a trainee for two to three years. Luckily, it was time when Girls' Generation was just launched and I was preparing to debut in a boy group.

I'm a member from a provincial area, so I went to school from Monday to Friday and got to Seoul during weekends to practice. I was in a great hurry. Other friends go to practice every day after school, but I can't do that."
