If anyone is wondering what's written on the letter at 4:20 His mom is sorry about not being home when he has returned after a long period of time. And telling him to wear warm cloths going out since it's getting colder🥹❤️ And on the yellow sticky note it's written that the side dishes are in the fridge and they are in container to make it easy to shake and eat (since the sauce might drift down and mixing it will be easier if it's in the closed container) and the rice is in rice cooker and letting him know to eat the warm soup in yellow bowl ( IDK know the reason why but maybe it's easier to eat in that bowl)❤ like i am crying 😭 it's so adorable.
it's so cute to see a real history of love between a son and his parents, I would like to had something like this in my life, how much Key and them love each other omg it's so beautiful
ROUGH translation of letter: To our beloved son Kibumah, Sorry there is no one to welcome you home and you have to come in alone. After we've lived apart, I don't think I was able to make you seaweed soup for your birthday. (Koreans eat this on their birthday.) I've prepared abalone seaweed soup so eat well. I prepared some fruit as well so eat well. The weather has gotten chilly so dress warmly, and have a good day. It's hard for you to get time to come here so sign your album while you're here hehe. Thank you. Love you~❤ On post it: The soup and banchan (side dishes) are in the fridge. For the soup, heat up the portion in the small pot. I thought it would be hard to take out portions of the banchan, so I put them in containers with lids. If you want to eat the soup more warmly, eat it from the yellow bowl.
I like the fact that KIBUM can walk in the streets like any other person and be completely normal. Unlike some other celebrities. I didn’t know much about him but his unbelievable female idol dance covers and his incredible dry sense of humour have won me over ❤
And Key 🔑, Really Enjoying his ( Feast ) ; his Good Food 🍱 and some , Good Fruits . Yummy to the Tummy . And Key 🔑 seems like , he can Cook 👩🍳 Real Good 👍 I see him in the Short Videos . Key and O New , looks like they can Cook Really Good 👍 of the SHINee Group . 😀
Key's interaction with his parents is so good, it's really incredible. There is always lots of content about bad parenting online, but there should be more of this wholesome family interaction too!
Probably the cutest video of ILA I have ever seen so far, with him saying the house smells like mom and dad, his mom leaving a letter and cooking side dishes for him, his dad telling him not to tell mom that said dishes are bland, and the diary his mom kept. And also him having the same voice as his dad. Now I feel emotional lmao.
This is so wholesome! Visiting hometown after long,eating home made food,looking at childhood toys,reading parenting diary,not recalling certain things as it was long back and still being happy etc. The expressions of Kibum at each stage shows how good he felt. I understand how much mom took care of things of Kibum since birth till now eventhough she is a busy working woman. I will add that just because mom is not a 'good at cooking' does not make her lesser good as a mom. She is the most perfect doting mom for Kibum and did everything she could! Hats off to hardworking sincere mom who gifted a person like Kibum to us. Look at him and you will know how great the mom is! Thank you so much to Kibum's mom for everything she did! P.S. My younger bro is a good cook too and when he comes home from his home after long,he does similar thing especially seasoning the food according to his taste if he feels it is bland. He is living alone and cooking for self for more than a decade,so obviously his taste buds wants mom made food as well as his taste too.
Thank you for all the KEY content! I have only seen snippets of this, it is so nice to see him relaxing in his family home. This is great to see as we await KEYs new album! 🔑💎🙌✨🥰
I love this kind of idol content! I love seeing Kibum eating to his heart's content in his parents' home, talking with his parents, waiting for them to come home and finding/sharing treasures from his childhood with us. It's so wholesome! I know he's been so busy, especially after promotions and taking that cooking test, traveling abroad, so many things on his schedule. And so many things upcoming as well. This is nice, really nice.
Beforw im not interested with shinee and dont even know them at all but because of this show and i find key super funny i started to like shinee and their songs especially REPLAY OMG WHY didnt i heard of this song before😂now my spotify keeps replaying Replay😂😅
Key definitely has grew up to be an incredible person, even though he never really had a childhood. Since his parents were never home, and always working, leaving him home alone, like he said. I think that's how he developed to become, good at cooking himself great food. Although his mother isn't a great cook, but she did take the effort to cook him so many things to eat, and ensure he eats well. Although his parents are always busy with work, probably trying to make ends meet, but they still took time to connect with Key in the smallest things.
He's the only child and has been away from home since his trainee days, but his parents still work hard and adore him. He must have gotten his cooking skills from his grandma, it skipped a generation. 🥰😂🩵
🥰It was nice to see that picture of you with your grandma. I think she is near and sending you her love and support. Maybe she kept you from feeling too lonely as a kid. It seems like these “Home Alone” stories give you a little break to reconnect with yourself, friends, and to travel. You all figured out a way to use the entertainment business to your advantage😁👍🏽👏🏼🫶🏽. We all see how the K-pop industry is more controlling than being a religious monk in a monastery/temple. A contract way of living that artists are forced to make as their normal 😣. So glad you have freedom, to create what you want, because your music productions are incredible!🤯. Always pushing the envelope of creativity🥰. I hope you all are living content lives. ❤to our “Home alone” crew. 💋💋💋💋💋.
Por favor suban más vídeos de Key, la espera es una agonía y tardan muy poco, me encanta ver como es fuera de cámaras. Además lo conozco cada vez mas y lo mucho que ama y respeta a sus padres, jiji pero desde niño ya su omma no sabia que hacer con un hijo tan difícil, pero diferente, eso lo llevo. Hacer un idols completo y de los 5 mejores. La personalidad de key es única y especial
I forget in which country that making dishes needs to be a bit bland, and they always serve it with salt and pepper at the table. I was told that it is because some people may find the food bland but to others, the taste may be overwhelming already.
this is so real. like my parents they should be retired but they are always at work doing interviews, even when they are home, then they are on the phone, I walk in they Shhh me. but, Key´s parents have his pictures and cds at least. my parents threw all my stuff away.
Key having two girlfriends since he was a kid😅. This reminds me of the interview he was paired with the kid that also had 2 girlfriends and he acted surprised 😂.
"dear son, Kibumi, I'm sorry that there was no one at home to meet you when you finally arrived after so much time. I haven't made you seaweed soup since we started living apart, so I made it with abalone today. I hope you like it." - approximate translation
