On April 15, MBC, "News Desk" corner, the K-pop idol was featured on a segment about green onion, wherein he was seen growing green onion in his own garden and harvesting it for personal consumption.

The reason why he appeared was due to the report that the price of green onions has tripled compared to last year.

The anchor also gave a strange smile by explaining, "Even popular celebrities grow green onions themselves when the price of green onions easily exceeds 7,000 won," followed by a prediction that it may somehow decrease when the month of May comes.

As soon as the news segment was broadcasted, it immediately causes a frenzy among K-pop enthusiasts, particularly shawols, writing response such as, "This man never fails to amaze me in any way," "It's kind of funny and witty," "Why are you doing this?" and more.

On Twitter, his video cuts from the MBC report are also going viral, amassing more than 280,000 views as of the press.

It seems like that the news also reaches Instagram, capturing the attention of SHINee Key himself. As a response, he uploaded a screenshot of him from the news segment, writing a caption, "Is it for real?"

Meanwhile, this is not the first time that Key, a member of SHINee, went viral. During the release of their seventh full album, "Don't Call Me," the idol made headlines and was featured in various television shows for his funny ending fairy scenes.

Though "ending fairy" scenes are already common before their comeback, Key became a pioneer of making it more entertaining to watch, such as bringing props and flaunting his iconic heavy breathing and intense stares at the camera.
