SHINee’s Key: The Challenge and Disqualification Moment in the Western Culinary Skills Test

On MBC’s “I Live Alone,” SHINee’s Key took on the challenge of the Western Culinary Skills practical exam, which aired on the 29th. In the broadcast, Key openly shared his passion, effort, and the process leading up to his disqualification.

Key mentioned, “Today is the day of the Western Culinary Skills practical exam,” and shared that he prepared by going through the 30-menu syllabus twice and studying through YouTube and a culinary skills café. He confidently showcased his skills by successfully making a cheese omelet during his final practice. Key expressed his determination, saying, “I want to do it without any regrets. I want to approach this new challenge with flair.”

Arriving at the exam venue, Key appeared tense as he checked the menu and recipes until the last moment. After completing the two-hour exam, he confessed, “It was so hard. It’s really difficult.” He explained that while he completed the shrimp canapé excellently, he faced difficulties because the potatoes in the potato soup were sliced too thick and did not cook properly, which almost led to disqualification midway through the exam. However, he persevered and completed the dish.

Despite his efforts, the result was a non-passing grade. A judge informed him, “It’s not 200ml, you’re disqualified,” indicating that he failed due to insufficient volume. Although Key’s challenge ended in disqualification, his spirit and persistence inspired many.

Fans are now eagerly anticipating what new challenges Key will take on next. His journey demonstrates a fearless approach to failure and constant growth, raising expectations for his future endeavors.
