lee know's hardworking mindset 🥹🤍 ""i've never run toward something for the sake of running toward something. i just kept going, and at some point i achieved something beyond my expectations. i didn't set out hoping for any particular achievement," you said something like this once. it's fascinating that you can be relentless despite not reaching for anything in particular. you dance on stage like your body is going to break apart, and you consistently upload vocal practice videos, too. lee know, what drives you to push yourself that hard?" 🐰: as lee minho, i don't have much ambition. i want a modest life, and i don't expect to depend on good fortune, either. but when it comes to work, i think i have ambition 🐰: in the early days after my debut, i felt that my singing ability was very lacking. because i wanted to do well, i started taking vocal lessons, but it's like you can suddenly become good at it one day, you know? i would keep digging, digging, and digging into it again. attend lessons and practice every day. i think all those efforts piled up and up, bringing me to where i am now 🐰: i think how you do things in everyday life creates results later. in a way, it's a very straightforward method, you know. it might seem a little foolish, but i like that kind of approach. so even when it comes to managing my money, i mainly stick to low risk installment savings accounts...(laughs)

"the scale of the records stray kids have set are getting bigger. from album sales figures to the scale of performances, new numbers keep following you every time. but i think that bigger numbers might not necessarily mean greater success. what do you think, lee know?" 🐰: hmm...of course it's good when the numbers get bigger. it's something i'm very grateful for. but those results are actually no different from something the fans have made for us, you know. we just did our best. actually, there's one reason we continue doing this work. because it's fun. because being on stage together is fun. that's all. so we don't desperately cling to results, either. even when we're on the news for getting number one on billboard, what we say amongst the members is always the same. "it doesn't feel real" 🐰: rather, the moments when i really feel our success seem to be very small, ordinary moments. when i go to a restaurant and someone recognizes me, or when i'm running and someone comes up to me like "oh? aren't you lee know?" at times like that, it hits home the most. "ah, right, i'm a celebrity"
