SHINee's Key had the time of his life in Europe for a well-deserved vacation after doing promotions and making his acting debut last year.
The idol-turned-actor even shared his travel photos and videos through Naver, where he also wrote his thoughts about his Europe vacation after a hectic year. Key admitted he needed to getaway to spend some alone time as per Korea Herald.
"It was emotional having to wrap up my first work in a drama, but as I had spent a very busy time shooting for it simultaneously with concerts and while preparing a new album, I figured I needed a break for both my body and soul," he wrote.
The SHINee member revealed he traveled to Paris alone and met his local friends in the city. Key said he admires the city for its well-preserved roads and structures. On top of that, the idol enjoyed roaming around the city since no one recognized him.
Reports stated Key stayed in Paris for a couple of days and then later moved to Rome for another two days of travelling. Key shared he took the time to see several tourist spots during his visit in Rome.
Key took the role of Kim Ki Bum in "Drinking Solo." According to Allkpop, the 25-year-old idol previously said it felt unreal to be in the drama series, stating that he has been receiving praises for his acting despite being a newbie.
He also promised his fans to work even harder in the future, revealing that he would like to play a quiet and serious character if given the chance.
Meanwhile, actor Ha Suk Jin commended Key for his dedication, stating that the SHINee member showed his potential in acting through the drama. "Drinking Solo" aired its final episode on Oct. 25.
