This is really the first time it happened but after the ‘BAD LOVE’ music video shoot ended, I cried. I didn’t do that even during the debut music video. I guess this album was intense after all. There were time and budget issues, the music video synopsis was scrapped, and I had differences in opinion with people.  There was quite a lot of drama. When the music video shoot ended, those moments flashed by and I felt a strange mix of emotions.

Key also revealed that “BAD LOVE” had some complications because his opinion differed from “the staff’s vote.” Ultimately, Key was able to bring his creative vision to life and make a video he’s proud of. “I decided to trust myself more,” he said.
