He explained that he gained weight very easily and that he lost weight during his promotions with SHINee because he was upset about not being able to fit into the clothes.
“I tend to gain weight very easily. I went on a diet during our SHINee promotions because I was upset. When the clothes didn’t fit, our stylist would tell me, ‘It can’t be helped. You should wear one size larger.’ That was very inconvenient so I lost weight.”

Previously, Key mentioned on an episode of Radio Star that the greatest way to lose weight was not to eat anything at all.

This, however, is not only incredibly unhealthy but would have most likely resulted in a greater weight gain eventually! In fact, Key revealed that the secret to his weight loss was not eating any refined carbohydrates.
“I didn’t eat any refined carbohydrates for 1 year. I didn’t even go near bread or rice. Once I did that, I began to lose weight.”
