In a travel vlog uploaded to SHINee’s official YouTube channel on October 3, Key excitedly explained, “I booked business class with miles, but I was lucky enough to get upgraded to first class!”
After settling into his seat, Key looked through the amenities and menu before enjoying an in-flight meal that included scallops, salmon, gazpacho, and steak. He also sampled two types of white wine before ordering champagne with his main course.
Following the meal, Key did some in-flight duty-free shopping, purchasing an electric compression device to help save space in his luggage as well as a portable fan, which he later used during his trip in Singapore.
After arriving in Singapore, Key relaxed at his hotel with a half-body bath. He shared that when he has enough time to rest at a hotel, he sometimes takes as many as three half-body baths in one day.
Netizen Reactions
The sampled Nate News comments were predominantly critical, with many commenters focusing less on Key’s first-class upgrade and more on a separate controversy they associated with him. One commenter, however, pushed back on speculation that the airline had upgraded Key because of his celebrity status, suggesting it could have been a standard operational upgrade.
1. You only got upgraded because you were filming YouTube. If you were just an ordinary guy named Kim Kibum, would they have done that for you? Be realistic.
2. My mom worked as a nurse for 36 years, and he says he didn’t know there was anything wrong with getting injections from an unlicensed person outside a medical facility...
3. Slowly creeping back.......ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
4. You have to be this shameless to be a celebrity, kids ㅋㅋㅋ
5. Sharing your front-door passcode with the “injection auntie.”
6. After acting so enlightened and reasonable about everything, now he’s keeping his mouth shut? Amazing ㅎㅎ.
7. It’s impressive how he can carry on like nothing happened... I guess not just anyone can be a celebrity.
8. I saw articles saying he was questioned by police, so is it really appropriate to casually upload a video like this when the results haven’t even come out yet?
9. I’m a SHINee fan, but... I really can’t support you anymore.
10. Don’t airlines sometimes do this when business class is overbooked and there are empty seats in first class? There are plenty of celebrity passengers anyway, so I doubt they upgraded him for marketing purposes.
