get to know lee minho aka lee know from stray kids: thread ♡
Lee Minho is a an only child born on the 25th oct 1998 in Gimpo and he grew up there during his whole childhood
(look at this cute baby ㅠㅠ)
(look at this cute baby ㅠㅠ)
Minho went to a montessori kindergarten (more applied type of education), was part of the korea youth association and cub scouts in elementary school, studied in gimpo jeil technical school and even got into university without taking entrance exams (computer sciences major),
which shows how smart he is. his parents taught him to not give up after failing and made him love the process of learning. he became interested in dance during middle school after seeing some clip and tried to dance with his phone.
he then asked his mom to take lessons in an dance academy, which she accepted without hesitation and he commuted each day 1 hour 30 for his lessons. he was part of the dance crew “soul dance” as one of the maknaes and even participated to competitions.
he later then got recruited as a back up dancer for bts (not today era) and also went to their wings tour. he was always in the front row, which explains how good and talented he was at such a young age (18, 19 in Korea).
at the same time, minho was living alone. He also worked at a bbq restaurant and during high school he distributed flyers to pay his transportation fees and cram school bcs his parents didn’t give him pocket money (c. @/bodalino)
minho later got accepted in jyp and trained one year before being part of stray kids. when he got unfairly eliminated,he tried his best not to cry because he doesn’t want to worry the other members. he thought about skz members before himself, which shows his selfless personality
the next day, he went to train to improve his skills (he worked more on his vocals than dancing) and jyp decided to add him again in the show. minho wanted to show him that he improved that much and that he can still do more in the future.
until today, minho never stopped training in his singing and rapping skills, without neglecting his dancing skills.
chan said once that minho is the member that improved the faster in recording songs, which shows that he’s working hard on his vocals (his falsettos
)

minho donates to a child through unicef and is always happy to receive colourful drawings from the children. he hopes one day the kid he takes cares of will be able to see him perform. he also wears earrings that donate to wwf (polar bears, snow leopards...) and a safety pin
meaning we “are safe” with him and he accepts us the way we are (he doesn’t care about sexualities, religions, etc).
minho takes a lot of interest in animals. his favorites are cats but he recently expanded his interest and began to watch videos of reptiles in his free time (he wants to adopt a lizard in the future) and even arthropodes.
minho has 3 cats: doongie, soonie and dori. he got doongie through an acquaintance who couldn’t take care of it, adopted soonie bcos it was abandonned and found dori on an abandoned cats website. he sees his cats as his dongsaengs, as he grew up as a only child.
minho also has a good relationship with his whole family, he never forgets to mention his parents (he talks often about his mom and he texts his aunts and uncles really often.
he also brings gifts to his grandma everytime he goes overseas and visits her when he goes home.
minho is someone who is really caring and isn’t worried about buying stuff and food to his members or himself. If he wants something he doesn’t care about the price and just goes for it. if he eats night snack with a member, he would pay for it without any question.
behind his “cold features” and his savage side, he always helps the other members. even if he complains before, he never gives up, he teaches and helps his members until they can understand the steps and movements of the different dances.
during the survival show we can see minho helping felix on learning korean. during a two kids room ep, he also told felix he can speak in english and he will try to understand him, so felix can feel more at ease and express himself better and freely.
the way he teaches and learns are probably from his Montessori education and from his parents. minho always learns dance really fast. either he’s good or bad, he tries to memorise the steps and he loves teaching his members because he said he’s improving himself at the same time.
minho always dances with a beanie or bucket hat over his eyes because he gets distracted by his image in the mirror, which shows how precise and good he is at dancing as he can’t see when dancing.
it is also said minho is really good at learning languages, he pick it up really fast. the members, like seungmin, always ask minho for advice about japanese
minho loves taking selcas snow filters, he giggles and laughs when he takes funny selcas and he posts them on Instagram for stays to see. if I see someone asking him to stop, you’re immediately on a block list bcos minho’s happiness comes first :<
minho is scared of heights but never denied any opportunity to fight it, such as bungee jumping (I am who era). he is also really good at archery and even broke the camera (bull eye) during isac
end of the thread!
in conclusion, minho is the most caring, lovely, hard working, courageous and talented boy ever and he deserves more recognition
