Stray Kids member
Lee Know
His dancing is clean without being sterile. He controls weight, angles, and timing so precisely that he can make difficult choreography look like he is mildly inconvenienced by gravity. Vocally, he developed from limited debut lines into one of the group’s most stable melodic textures.

Before debut
Lee Know built a professional dance background before idol debut, including work as a backup dancer for BTS. He auditioned for JYP, was eliminated during the Stray Kids survival program, then reinstated for the final lineup.
Stray Kids career
2017–2019 · survival and identity
Lee Know entered the public lineup through JYP’s Stray Kids survival program and debuted with “District 9.” The I am and Clé projects turned trainee anxiety, self-definition, and choosing a direction into the group’s first narrative.
2020–2021 · God’s Menu to NOEASY
The “God’s Menu” pivot made the group’s production and performance language immediately recognizable. “Back Door” and “Thunderous” expanded that language instead of cleaning it up for wider approval.
2022–2026 · global scale
Repeated No. 1 albums, major tours, festival headlines, solo tracks, and the current RUN IT campaign turned Stray Kids into one of JYP’s central global acts. The challenge for Lee Know is keeping individual color visible inside a machine this large.
Voice, movement, and creative identity
His dancing is clean without being sterile. He controls weight, angles, and timing so precisely that he can make difficult choreography look like he is mildly inconvenienced by gravity. Vocally, he developed from limited debut lines into one of the group’s most stable melodic textures.
Main dancer · vocalist
Dance Racha
Solo and unit work
“Limbo,” “Youth,” “Dawn,” and his SKZ-RECORD covers reveal a warmer, more vulnerable musical identity than his sharp public humor suggests.
SKZ-RECORD, SKZ-PLAYER, and the member tracks on 合 (HOP) are essential because they show what each member chooses when the full group’s enormous production brief is removed.
Era map
- District 9 / MIROH: raw urgency and survival-show hunger.
- God’s Menu / Back Door: the sound becomes a brand.
- Thunderous / MANIAC: criticism converted into architecture.
- S-Class / LALALALA: stadium scale and cinematic excess.
- Chk Chk Boom / KARMA: global confidence with member solos widening the map.
- RUN IT: victory march, doubles, history, and a new tour beginning.
Fandom notes
- Representative unit: Dance Racha.
- Do not reduce Lee Know to one viral trait; Stray Kids’ member projects exist precisely because the public roles are incomplete.
- The official fandom is STAY.
