It has been more than 8 years Lee Know finally has his first dance break(Japanese limited ). But when they left Japan, they hardly perform Japanese titles, so there is still no chance to see Lee Know perform the real dance break, which is unacceptable to us
Why STAYs and JEWELs Are Furious Over Lee Know’s Enlistment Announcement—which led him to trend worldwide:
The global outrage of Lee Know’s enlistment announcement isn't about him fulfilling his service, fans knew this day would come. The anger stems from JYP Entertainment / One Label’s blatant negligence, deliberate mistreatment, and complete lack of respect for Lee Know and his fans during a critical career transition.
Here is why the fandom has reached its boiling point:
1. Zero Solo Preparation During a Critical Window
Despite knowing his enlistment window, the company planned no solo projects or debut for Lee Know.
* While One Label spent the first half of this year on an unexplained passive hiatus for Stray Kids, they completely wasted prime time that should have been spent promoting Lee Know and starting solo projects.
* For an idol of his magnitude to enter military service without a single solo project is virtually unheard of in K-Pop, most get a solo debut.
* They launched a tour knowing he might not be able to finish it, even if the schedules must continue, they hid the timeline from fans rather than communicating transparently or scheduling around it.
2. Systematic Camera Erasure & Musical Omission
Even after the announcement, basic decency was ignored preventing fans from fully enjoying our last moments with him:
* The camera repeatedly panned away from Lee Know during his parts, only correcting this after the backlash received, on the final day which wasn't broadcast in theaters. After the announcement they should have had the decency to take care of his screen time properly.
* In teasers for his likely final group album, he appears for less than a second, and nothing special was done to highlight him on this possibly final album. Even if this is not being done deliberately, shows the lack of care for Lee Know and his fans.
* On SKZ-REPLAY 2026 part 1, knowing this might be one of the final opportunities to show his individual style, he was the only member left without a new song. Wasn't it the company's responsibility to ensure to give him more of a spotlight instead of being the only one without it? Even if he appears in future releases (part 2), his promotional window has been drastically cut short.
3. Exploitative Timing & Tone-Deaf PR Corporate Greed
Instead of addressing fan concerns or detailing plans for Lee Know’s activities, the company immediately exploited the attention:
* 5 Hours Post-Announcement: Used the peak engagement to promote other group schedules instead of detailing plans for Lee Know, we understand the group projects are important, but this a critical moment for Lee know’s career. A company of JYP's scale has the resources to handle both, making this neglect inexcusable.
* Concert Handouts: Distributed promotional flyers for a new boy group during the following SKZ' concerts rather than organizing a special banner or project for Lee Know’s possibly last concert.
* Tour Expansion without Lee Know: After completely ignoring the fan’s discontent and pleas for Lee Know’s solo activities and notices on his schedule, One Label started promoting new tour dates, ones which will very likely be OT7, without mentioning what's next for Lee Know. Even if the tour must continue, the company should show some prudency on their timing.
4. Robbed of a Farewell Moment on Tour
These tour stops were likely his last before travel restrictions kick in upon setting his exact enlistment date, yet the company prepared nothing for him.
* He was not given a single solo stage to sing "LIMBO" or "YOUTH" to have a positive ending on a tour he started on.
* In a stadium full of Leebits chanting his name, JYP put zero effort into making the moment special, leaving only the fans to show him love.
* If he is able to attend future stops before his final date is set, fans expect a properly planned stage where he can sing his heart out on all future stops.
* We are taking as a given a proper farewell will be prepared in Korea, since it's not only the company standard, but basic human decency, even if the company seems to lack it most of the time, that's why we are specifying only the tour concerts parts.
5. 8–9 Years of Accumulated Mismanagement
Lee Know has faced years of subtle erasure, but fans endured it assuming the company would focus on him when his enlistment drew near as the first member to leave. Instead, 8–9 years of quiet endurance ended in peak negligence. Any last-minute rushed content cannot undo the damage done to his career momentum, nor can it replace the proper year long / months long goodbye he and his fans were denied.
Lee Know has poured everything into Stray Kids and STAYs. The fandom isn't angry at the military enlistment; they are refusing to stay quiet while a major agency treats one of its core pillars with complete disdain, it's only right that he can receive back even a little bit of everything he has given to all of us ❤️

Dismissal Song Ji-eun
Disband One Label
Following One Label's latest display of incompetence, fans have sent funeral wreaths demanding the company's CEO resign and One Label disband.
This reaction was triggered by growing frustration over the company's continued mismanagement of Lee Know's career, particularly the lack of preparation for his solo activities ahead of his upcoming military enlistment.
The criticism extends beyond the CEO, with fans blaming the department head and employees for enabling these decisions and allowing the situation to persist.
They also accuse the department of repeatedly pushing the group toward ruin.

🚚TRUCKS DONATIONS OPEN
The company seems determined to ignore Lee Know's situation and the concerns of Korean and international fans who want him to receive proper solo promotion and a proper farewell in his home country before enlisting.
JYP Entertainment has both the financial resources and the responsibility to ensure Lee Know receives the recognition and individual career opportunities he deserves before his enlistment, including proper solo promotions to make up for the time he will inevitably spend away from the spotlight, and a grand event on his home country where fans can bid him farewell.
Since the company has yet to demonstrate any answers about the plans they have for Lee Know, we have decided to collect donations for one final set of trucks with two goals:
- Make the company aware of fans' expectations for Lee Know's remaining months before enlistment (more information in the post below).
- Send Lee Know encouraging messages and show him our support.
If it's within your possibilities, please donate:

갑작스러운 공지로 인해 놀라셨을 STAY 분들의 너른 양해를 부탁드리며 현시점에서 안내드리기 어려운 상세 내용은 추후 별도 공지를 통해 안내드리겠습니다. 앞으로 이어질 리노와 Stray Kids의 활동에도 변함없는 사랑과 응원 부탁드립니다.

i think what upsets me so much is that they’ve treated him like shit for 8 years and are getting away with it. he’ll be gone having been paid no respect to his position, zero dancing opportunities (not even dance breaks), basically no lines and screentime ever and horrible treatment over all. once he comes back he isn’t getting shit either. it just leaves a bad taste in my mouth thinking about it all. i thought that last year would at least be making up for it a bit but here they go sending him away so early. of course they did a lot more but basically his last year consisted of one comeback and pop up stores.

일본부의 기획은 정말 쓰레기다, 리노가 가장 좋은 시기에 솔로 앨범을 내놓지 않다니, 비록 우리 모두 리노가 돌아오기를 기다리겠지만, 1년 넘게 아무것도 없으면 정말 견디기 힘들다, 우리는 리노 도파민이 있어야 살아남을 수 있다

스트레이 키즈에게 기록은 목표가 아닌, 스스로 만들어낸 추진력이 남긴 궤적에 가까웠습니다. 누군가 열어준 길이 아닌, 자신들만의 길을 직접 개척해 온 겁니다.
이들은 누구의 방식도 따르지 않았습니다. 직접 쓰고, 만들고, 춤추며 자신들만의 색깔을 완성했습니다. 그렇게 전 세계 음악 팬들을 열광시켰습니다.

스트레이 키즈는 여전히 출발선에 선 듯 뜨겁게 달리고 있습니다. 끝을 정하지 않은 8명의 질주. 그 뜨거운 순간을 디아이콘에서 만나보세요.
