Lee Know
Lee Know (리노), born Lee Min-ho (이민호) on October 25, 1998 in Gimpo, Gyeonggi Province, is the main dancer, sub-vocalist, and visual of Stray Kids. An only child, he discovered dance in middle school after watching a performance video online and spent five years training before auditioning for JYP Entertainment.
Before debuting in Stray Kids, Lee Know trained as a JYP backup dancer, performing choreography for major acts including Big Bang and TWICE. Selected for the 2017 Stray Kids survival show, he went on to become the group's unofficial dance director, leading practices and choreography as part of the DanceRacha sub-unit alongside Hyunjin and Felix. A second-degree black belt holder in taekwondo and mixed martial arts, his precision and physicality are a recurring subject in fan and press coverage. Three cats named Dori, Soonie, and Doongie have become a personal trademark through his social media presence.
Outside the group, Lee Know hosted music chart programme Show! Music Core from 2021 to 2023, and enrolled at Gukje Cyber University studying performance and broadcast entertainment. In June 2025, he was named Gucci's Global Brand Ambassador, capping a period of accelerating fashion recognition that included attendance at Gucci Cruise 2025 in London.
