SHINee's Key and Yoo Jae Suk discussed in detail how celebrities' problematic attitudes can eventually hinder their careers.
As reported, Key appeared on the May 3 episode of the YouTube show ‘Pinggyego,’ where he and Yoo Jae Suk talked about celebrity careers and the rapid rise to fame—such as in the case of actor Byun Woo Seok—while candidly addressing ongoing attitude controversies in the entertainment industry.
Yoo Jae Suk shared his own perspective on the issue, stating that he sometimes encounters people in the industry who seem unlikely to last because of their demeanor. He said:
"Sometimes, you can just tell when someone isn’t going to last long. It’s not about any specific person, but there’s a certain feeling. Some people, you could say, get a little full of themselves and give off that kind of energy. But even if you try to talk to them, would they listen? They won’t."
In response, Key emphasized that there's not much he can do in such situations, explaining:
"There’s nothing I can really do. If someone could change just because of a few words, they probably would’ve realized it on their own already."
He then reflected on how early impressions can shape future careers, using the example of how junior staff on music programs often move up to key decision-making roles:
"Back when I was young, the staff on ‘M Countdown’—they're all main producers now. Even now, I think, if I had been completely out of line back then, wouldn’t that have come back to bite me? There’s a part of me that wants to make them aware of this, but I hold back out of caution. It’s frustrating, honestly."
Yoo Jae Suk agreed, adding, "It’s not even something they want to hear. Us trying to tell them is a difficult thing."
