SHINee's Minho revealed that he was unfollowed on SNS by fans who got bored. On the 8th, he appeared on KBS 2TV's 'THE SEASONS - Lee Yongji's Rainbow' and showcased a stage. On this day, Lee Yongji mentioned, 'I heard fans call Minho a coach and trainer,' to which he responded, 'Many people look at my SNS and feel motivated to exercise, so I leave a verification shot every time I go to work out,' adding, 'When I don't have a schedule, I go 2 or 3 times a day.' Lee Yongji, surprised, said, '2 or 3 times a day? I heard that many people unfollowed you because of the “exercise completion shot.”' He confessed, 'They followed me because I’m a fan, but they got bored and unfollowed because I was just exercising.' Later, when Lee Yongji stood up and shouted, 'What phase are you in?' he saluted and replied, 'Victory! I’m in the 1245th phase.' When he asked how she knew to say 'What phase?', she revealed, 'Last time, Roy Kim came and told me.' He joked, 'Ah, Kim Sangwoo (Roy Kim's real name) the Marine, he will always be my eternal Kim Sangwoo the Marine.' When Lee Yongji asked if even the fiery charisma Minho found the Marines tough, he replied, 'I thought I would go to a place where I could properly train and ignite my fire. But I regretted it from the second day.' He continued, 'I wondered why I chose such a place and why I volunteered for something so tough. I felt that way at first, but I worked hard in that environment, so it became a very valuable experience for me. Even now, when I face difficulties, I sing military songs in my heart.' Furthermore, Lee Yongji mentioned that he released his first full solo album in his 16th year since debut and asked him to introduce a song. He said, 'This is my first full album, containing 10 songs including the title track 'CALL BACK.' When she asked if there was one song he particularly wanted to recommend, Minho suggested, 'I want to recommend the song 'I don't miss you,' saying, 'I’m saying I don’t miss you, but actually, I’m feeling very nostalgic.' He then sang a verse from the song. After hearing him sing, Lee Yongji commented, 'I didn’t realize it when listening to SHINee’s songs, but I think the deep bass can be used as a weapon.' When she asked how he felt looking back on the past 16 years, he said, 'Since I debuted as a high school student, I had a purity of not knowing anything and a time of discovering myself. Now, I feel like I’ve accumulated many experiences, can communicate with audiences I meet for the first time, and show a relaxed version of myself. I thought I was running a lot, but looking back, I realize I’ve been walking slowly and steadily. I want to continue to walk slowly and steadily in the future.'
