[ASKKPOP] SHINee's Key's grandmother passes away

SHINee'sKeyhad some sad news to share with his fans earlier today as he announced that his grandmother has passed away on his birthday.


"To everyone who cares about me and my team, hello. This is Key,"hepostedto Instagram earlier today."I don't know how to say this, but.. I wasn't able to participate during the Japanese promotions on the 24th due to personal problems. My grandmother passed away on the 23rd. She took care of me with love when I was growing up, so I am still in shock over the fact and can't believe that she is gone."




"However, I felt that it was wrong to tell this news through a company announcement ahead of SMTOWN and the first concert of the tour, so I am just telling you this now. I know that my grandmother was watching me from heaven and will continue strongly through the rest of the tour,"he said."Please support me and I will see you with a smiling face! Thank you."


May she rest in peace and our thoughts are with Key and his family during this difficult time.
