Netizens find ENHYPEN Ni-Ki's past as a SHINee World too adorable

Netizens have stumbled across some of the most adorable pre-debut photos of ENHYPEN member Ni-Ki, who was a huge, huge SHINee World ever since he was young!

As a child, Ni-Ki even had a chance to perform on stage with SHINee at the Tokyo Dome. 

After performing, Ni-Ki became so overwhelmed with emotion that he began crying! SHINee member Key, who was partnered up with Ni-Ki at the time, gave him a reassuring hug. 

But how much of a SHINee World was Ni-Ki during his childhood? A very. very huge and loyal fan, as you can see below!

Below is a letter Ni-Ki once dedicated to his absolute favorite SHINee member and role model, Key, right before Key began his mandatory military service:

"I hope that this letter will reach Key-kun.

Key-kun, I feel down knowing that I won't be able to see Key-kun for a short while. 

But until the day Key-kun returns, I will have strength. 

I used to always look up to Michael Jackson, and went on singing and dancing dreaming of Michael Jackson.

But after I met Key-kun, you became my goal. One day, I want to become a star who can perform at the Tokyo Dome just like Key-kun, and make many people happy, make many people smile. 

Key-kun, please take care of your health while you are away. Key-kun is my hero!!"

Netizens couldn't handle how adorable Ni-Ki was during his childhood as a huge SHINee World, and commented, 

"Oh wow he even wrote a letter to Key before Key's enlistment."

"The little baby grew up well~"

"He really was a big fan! So cute TT."

"Key hugging Ni-Ki and Ni-Ki crying on the stage, they're both so precious."

"It looked like he's still a fan of SHINee even now."

"Ni-Ki's Instagram username even had Key's birthday in it kekekeke."

"Key was so sweet hugging the little baby."
