CAREER SUMMARY
PRE-DEBUT
Lee Know had a passion for dancing from a young age. When he was in middle school, he started dancing on his own from watching videos at home, and asked his mother if he could could dance as his profession. His mother had accepted without objection, and Lee Know started to learn dancing at an academy.
When Lee Know was in high school, he was part of the dance crew CupCakes with now-famous dancers such as Vata (WE DEM BOYS), BADA (BEBE), REDY (1MILLION DANCE STUDIO) and Junho Lee (NWX of YGX). At the time, he was also one of the backup dancers of BTS, dancing for stages such as “Fire,” “Blood, Sweat and Tears,” “Not Today” and more. Performing with BTS, Lee Know started dreaming of becoming a singer rather than a dancer.
Lee Know was initially cast by JYP Entertainment at a dance event, and went to audition, but didn’t get a callback. He had been continuing to perform as a dancer for several years when JYP Entertainment got in contact with him again. Lee Know became an official trainee of JYP Entertainment in the July of 2017. Even though he hadn’t trained for very long, he passed through all the 40 basic choreo movements of JYP in two weeks, the fastest record among the JYP trainees. (The previous record was held by Momo of TWICE at 3 months.)
After just a month of becoming a trainee, Lee Know performed at the JYP trainees showcase with the current members of Stray Kids. He was promptly selected as one of the debut team and participated in the survival audition program Stray Kids. Lee Know was only a trainee for 8 months before debut.
AFTER DEBUT
In 2018, Lee Know debuted as a member of Stray Kids, an 8-member group under JYP Entertainment, with Bang Chan, Changbin, Hyunjin, Han, Felix, Seungmin, and I.N with “District 9.” As the main dancer of Stray Kids, Lee Know has often been seen leading the dance practice or directing the other Stray Kids members when dancing.
In 2021, Lee Know was an official MC of Music Core from August to November.
From December 2021, Lee Know was a regular member of Idol Dictation Contest 2, a TVING original variety series and a spin-off of Amazing Saturday, for 18 episodes.
POSITIONS
VOCAL
Lee Know mostly takes over the vocal parts in Stray Kids songs. He has a softer, higher voice tone, and his falsetto has been praised on a lot of Stray Kids B-Sides. Lee Know also has clear diction when singing; which led him to take a lot of “key lyrics” parts for songs such as “MIROH,” “God’s Menu,” and “Maniac.”
DANCE
As one of the members of DANCERACHA and the main dancer of Stray Kids, Lee Know is regarded as one of the best dancers of Stray Kids. Even though his preferred genre is hip-hop dancing, he is skilled at dancing a variety of genres. When Stray Kids was on Mnet’s KINGDOM: LEGENDARY WAR, Lee Know had a solo dance stage as representative of Stray Kids.
