Group Stray Kids member Lee Know graced the cover of a fashion magazine.
Harper's Bazaar Korea released three November covers featuring Stray Kids member Lee Know. The cover captures attention with bright golden hair and Lee Know's handsome features. In the three revealed covers, Lee Know displayed the qualities befitting a member of a leading K-pop idol group with relaxed poses and intense gazes.
The concept of this cover photo spread was "Real, Lee Know," aiming to capture moments where idol Lee Know and 20-something Minho Lee coexist freely. Thanks to his perfect visual realization of that concept, familiar yet unfamiliar and beautiful shots were created.
After the shoot, in the following interview, he was asked about his feelings on recently setting the record of "seven consecutive No. 1 entries on the Billboard 200"—a first in Billboard history—with the new release "KARMA," and on performing his first domestic stadium concert seven years after debut. Lee Know said, "It doesn't feel real. Firsts and No. 1s are not something we can do by our own power. We are grateful simply to be given a stage to do what we dreamed of, and thanks to fans who like and support us, we can become the firsts and the initial ones, so I am just thankful," he said.
When asked what he wants to do better now that he is standing out in vocals, dance and all areas, he showed a composed attitude, saying, "I want to raise my own value. I'm not talking about a value that can be converted into material terms; it's closer to wanting to upgrade my inner self to be healthy and solid."
About the conviction that is becoming firmer as an artist who dances, sings and stands on stage, he answered, "I think I have to be my own top priority. If I fall apart, I can't do anything. If you want to be picky, before being Lee Know I'm Minho Lee, so I try to make myself a person suitable for the work. Fortunately, it doesn't require an enormous change. This work suits me well."
When asked about something he would never compromise on, he said, "Running away," adding, "If you give up, don't you have regrets? Whatever it is, I try it at least three times. I may not be 'good' at it, but I'm someone who eventually gets it done."
