On March 3, KEY posted a picture of himself and a letter that showed his affection towards his fans.
In the picture, KEY is staring at the camera with his head shaved.
Hello, this is KEY from SHINee. I hope all of you are doing well.
I've been busy working since I made my debut back in 2008.
The memories I've shared with you guys acted as a motivation for me to keep going and helped me not to get distracted.
I'm so sorry that I didn't express my gratitude enough because I've always been so grateful and thankful.
I've never had this long hiatus but I won't be able to see you guys for a while since I was asked to enlist in the military on March 4.
A lot of you might be sad and disappointed, but I know that you've waited for me for the same amount of time when our group was between albums.
So I won't worry a lot and will serve my national mandatory duty without getting hurt and courageously.
Stay healthy, be happy and may your life be filled with love.
Thank you and love you always.
P.S. BYE!!!
Meanwhile, KEY will begin his national mandatory duty on March 4 as an active-duty soldier.
