Key of K-pop boyband SHINee will return with the group’s sixth EP, "Atmos," ending a six-month hiatus following allegations he received treatment from an unlicensed medical practitioner.
SHINee released a teaser video for "Atmos" on its official YouTube channel Monday. In the video, Key appears dressed as a weather forecaster and field reporter as he introduces the group’s release schedule.

The controversy surfaced last December amid separate allegations involving entertainer Park Na-rae. She allegedly received unauthorized medical treatment from a woman surnamed Lee, an unlicensed practitioner known as the "injection aunt." Key was drawn into the issue after reports said he had received treatment from Lee at home rather than at a medical institution.
SM Entertainment, Key’s agency, said at the time that Key received treatments several times after an acquaintance recommended Lee.
"Key only recently learned through the controversy over Lee’s medical license that Lee was not a doctor, and he is very confused and deeply regrets his lack of awareness," the agency said.

Key later stepped down from regular appearances on MBC’s "I Live Alone" and tvN’s "Amazing Saturday."
SHINee is returning with "Atmos" about a year after its previous album last May. The EP contains six tracks. Before formal promotions begin, the group will meet fans during a three-day run of its eighth solo concert series from May 29 to 31.
