Stray Kids' LEE KNOW: A Dancer's Analysis [The Breakdown]

[@itorook]

After watching this video, I hope you guys rewatch his performance in a new light. Because if I were to point out all the techniques in his performance, it'll be its own series 🤣 Because I am only familiar with a few dance genres technique, there may be those that I overlook. So if any of you found any other technique that Lee Know uses often, do share it here 🥰

[@starship1914]

We would love a series about leeknow 🥰

[@yourmaingirl568]

definitely will watch it all again! the appreciation i have for lee know just got raised higher and grew bigger it's such an honor to watch him perform

[@mt90912]

Can I ask the series of that performance because its so worth it and I swear Lee Know it's so underestimated as the GREAT dancer he is, he literally is one of the best dancers (if not the best) of the 4 gen

[@Mybooboooo]

Definitely watched 🥰

[@shuurieryuuki185]

Fun fact, Lee Know is the only jype artist to complete their basic dance moves in just two weeks... some artists took months/years, some even debuted without completing the jype basic dance moves. That's how great of a dancer he is.

[@umaima1711]

I just wanted to add tho, that this is how he got notice and could join the members just one month prior to the survival show with only a few weeks of training. So basically, he broke twice Momo’s 3 month record and from what got7 had revealed, ~ 1 year seems to be the average time it takes to complete the class.

[@umaima1711]

So like seriously, if he wasn’t a fucking genius, he most likely would not have debuted with skz

[@Shaallaad]

@@umaima1711 stop making me fall in love with him deeper aaaaa 😭

[@ludvig3242]

He was a dancer for BTS

[@twinxbee7660]

​@ludvig3242 He was a great dancer prior to bts back up. He competed in Korea world of dance in group with Bada Lee and Vata and other choreographers now.

[@athetopofmylungs]

What people forget is LeeKnow is very aware he is not a solo performer. He isnt flashy on purpose, he has the technique and level to show off, but instead stays back to let the whole group shine. Like a true pro.

[@roxannemiller6961]

A TRUE GENTLEMEN.❤

[@keerpacopeca]

i love him for that but it makes me sad that he doesn't get spaces to truly shine as much as he wants

[@leebitina]

This is exactly why I always consider him as the best main dancer of whole fourth gen

[@certifiedg.h.p1237]

@junhanzz This video just confirmed to me that lee know is the best dancer of the 4th generation.

[@blchhfsi6512]

I’m a dancer and I get so upset when they do not include him they need to see that dancing isn’t about who has the best style or who’s more powerful it mean who has best technique best control who enjoys it who expressed themselves thru dancing and leeknow is the only Kpop dancer I’ve seen that controls himself and has all the standard a true professional should meet also he dances as a group not for himself I know when he dances for himself he’s powerful

[@blchhfsi6512]

@junhanzz it’s not talk but sometime idols that are the best performer make their move look sloppy not that good yeah they Stan out cuz they us their whole energy but they make the dance move look really stiff but obviously people don’t look thru that but if they were to perform with professional I’m sorrry they wouldn’t make it cuz its about the cleanest technique and energy and they tend to focus more on energy then real technique movement

[@mayteruiz331]

I don’t believe in those rankings because people prefer pretty faces and face expressions that a good technique and profesional moves

[@mrschocreyy2249]

@@blchhfsi6512 thank for pointing it out

[@tiffanykim2773]

Important things to note: Lee Know works hard to make sure all of stray kids shine dance wise and that he doesn't stick out because he wants them to be seen as a team (not word for word but he did confirm that these days his focus is one SKZ shining as a team thus he dances for his team these days and not so much for himself like he used to when he first became a dancer. Next his moves are always powerful and sharp but no unless it's a solo for SKZ he's not showy like say Hyunjin is so people tend to focus more on Hyunjin alot of times. Also Hyunjin has always been given more opportunities to show his dance (no hate to Hyunjin btw) But though Kingdom was a wild rollercoaster I'm happy Stray kids did the show because it showed alot of people just how powerful and versatile Lee Know is as a dancer and perhaps why Chan says Lee know is a master at dancing and why he wanted him for his team. Never forget this man was dancing for 4-5 years professionally prior to joining SKZ not mention all the competitions he's been in and the fact that he danced for BTS who are known for having some of the most insane choreographies. Lastly he's an amazing teacher and choreographer. Thank you for this video. Outside of Ten from NCT/WayV/SuperM Lee know is one idol I view as being a powerful super talented dancer. His skills are no joke and I can't wait to see him shine more in the future.

[@starship1914]

Yesss that is what i notice too. And i do remember LK said that after he joined stray kids, he doesnt dance for himself but for stray kids. He can really control his dancing, like going all out and powerful for solo but he also can tone down his dancing in group dance. I think that shows just how good he is as a dancer and also as team player. He also teaches the members a lot on how to do the correct moves. He truly is a dancing gem and i think he is one of the reasons why stray kids performances are always so solid and powerful. Cmiiw, but i also notice that LK is the one member who moves a lot during stage performance, like he is literally all over the stage. Idk but i feel like he is doing it to support other members as well, like making the stage more balance

[@shplino]

동의합니다.. 카메라도 리노를 많이 보여주지 않았다..하물며 자신의 파트일때 조차도 다른 멤버를 보여주는 경우가 많았다..그래서 메댄임에도 불구하고 리노를 알아채지못하는 사람들이 많았고, 반대로 원샷을 많이 잡아주는 멤버는 주목을 받을수밖에 없다..나는 리노에게 더 많은 기회가 생기기를 바라며, 카메라에도 좀더 노출되기를 원한다.(적어도 본인 파트일때만이라도 제대로..) 마지막으로 JYPE도 리노에게 더 나은 센터 역할을 주어야 한다고 생각한다. 양심적으로...

[@Super21Nash]

"he dances for his team these days and not so much for himself" - ikr? there are certain stages where he stands out a lot , like the recent Tiger Inside performance - I could not take my eyes off him. Every movement was so clean and, unexaggerated and so well timed whereas he blends in more during skz performances (unless he's in the center/spotlight). I am not a dancer but I had always thought that great dancers always stand out in performances, like one of my other bias Ten from NCT - but I was always confused when it came to LK.

[@juliame2061]

Thank you so much for taking the time to actually analyze Lee Knows’ dancing. I once saw a “dancer ranking” of 4th gen main dancers and was so happy at first they actually included him, but the research on him was so clearly half assed that they actually said he has weak core strength. Like…I am not a dancer but thats just factually so wrong it is laughable. This video was fascinating because it was the first time someone could explain to me, a complete amateur, why Minho’s dancing is so mesmerizing once you notice him. I don’t care for comparisons, but my eyes honestly go to him on every performance and his is the first fancam I check out, it’s fascinating watching him move.

[@rememberguys148]

I always found Lee Know's dancing extremely satisfying and effortless. It's like he was made for it and even the toughest looking choreographies came naturally to him. I'm always proud of him but knowing what exactly he's doing makes me respect him so much more. Thank you for this analysis!!

[@RM_formerlyjustRMbutYTsucks]

Thank you! I hate how underappreciated he is just because people think showiness is the primary measure of a dancer. He's so good that the average viewer doesn't _notice_ he's so good.

[@Gemstones1000]

But that's the whole point! People don't watch performances for excellent dancing; they watch for excellent *_performing_* , which u cannot do just by being good with your dancing. It's only dance analysers and people who are really into dance that will appreciate great dancing; most people want a great performer.

[@mirelleniquet4348]

@@Gemstones1000 I don't totally agree. I think it is subjective, I enjoy so much more watching someone dance perfectly and on point, just like Lee Know, for me that's equal to great performance, more than a flamboyant dancing (which I also like and appreciate)

I would love for you to do a part two of why he is flawless and technically perfect with clips from 2023-24- he is unbelievable-

[@Bangch4nslaptop]

Before I knew them, their names or even their positions. Lee know stood out to Mr so much as a dancer. Im a professional and I like to analyse others dance techniques and I was so stunned by his dance abilities. He truly is a dance gem 💎

[@attuned_sleuth507]

Finally an in-depth appreciation of Lee Know’s intellectual way of dancing/performing! That description during efficiency was so fitting for him, no wonder when I try to remember SKZ choreographies Lee Know comes to mind immediately cause the way he does the moves made the greatest impression to me.

[@33Jenesis]

Backup dancers are pro dancers because amateur dancers would stand out in the background in a bad way. Dance is a sport, takes years and brutal honesty and analysis to get better (like swimming, gymnastics, boarding…..). Lee Know has clearly gone thru the grinder and came out shining. He is the first in SKZ who can execute all skz choreos like a champ and maintains efficiency in energy and recovery. He is not a flashy dancer though, a somewhat negative being an idol in the center position. However, he has been making progress flirting with videocam confidently. Last year his stage presence was 10x better than 2020’s.

[@certifiedg.h.p1237]

Minho is slowly captivating me more and more.His stage presence in getting much bettet and I feel like a storm is coming for it's name is hurricane LEE KNOW

[@Ychae02]

He’s letting himself out more now and I’m so happy for him😊

[@KidTheFail]

Well, idk if I agree on him not being a flashy dancer, he is, when he is dancing solo. But one of the reasons that makes him such a good dancer, and very much the dance leader in skz, is the fact that he NEVER tries, or wants, to overpower and outshine the other members in group. He has said a few times at this point, that he doesn't dance for him, he dances for the group. He wants to balance the group.

[@y-m-x]

I'm not a pro dancer or anything but the thing that strikes me the most about Lee Know's dancing is that he has fantastic footwork. His lower body angles and wide stance are beautiful because of how light he is on his feet and how he shifts their angles to move his legs subtly. I think it was in the Finesse cover where he rotated his foot much more than 90° outward to execute a really quick and clean spin, and I was so mesmerized. You can also see in one of the Danceracha songs that he taps his feet along with the beat during the dance at times that makes his dance so beautifully dynamic. He's really clean with his footwork. Also just that he never misses a beat. Felix has gotten a lot better, and I think he tries to imitate Lee Know's techniques (since Lee Know is the dance leader) and that shows. The execution is sometimes not there, but the angles and energy are. Hyunjin is just too stylized to actually compare, but since Lee Know tends to incorporate changing the choreo to fit Hyunjin's style, it tends to stand out. It also strikes me that Lee Know can just pull off anything flawlessly, whereas everyone else's range in dancing is very limited. Bang Chan may be the only exception, but his execution isn't there because his main focus isn't on dance. Lee Know is just *chef's kiss* and it almost feels like despite being the main dancer and dance leader, he's still underrated compared to the appreciation he should get, and that's wild. So it's nice to find a video like this!

[@marceymanning9059]

Thank you for including Bang Chan in the analysis. I watch his dances and compare them to Lee Know's dances. They are similar. I also realize that Bang Chan can not devote as much time or energy to the dances as he would like. Bang Chan is too busy with the bigger picture of writing and producing music. Thankfully, Bang Chan has Lee Know to focus on the choreography.

[@coffeebeanB]

His moves are so clean and elegant and precise, i wish he asked for more solo dancing work, i know he doesn't bother too much but we're being severly deprived of seeing all his talent, i loved watching him in Kingdom especially!!

[@irfananis7657]

[@k.nows_yt8994]

This perfectly explains that Lee Know is one of the best dancers in his generation. I've known him a very detailed dancer but didn't know he was this detailed explained in this video, even his energy is very detailed. It is definitely one of the techniques he acquired from his dancing experience in high school and from being a back up dancer. Im still confused why he is still overlooked/underrated as a dancer by the public, not just in his group but in his industry (i mean, he is an underrated member). People should appreciate not just idol performers because both things can be good as each other. I hope he'll get the recognition hed deserves. (performer=dancer). Definition of terms Performer: more of like focusing on stage presence and expressions, but still a good dancer Dancer: morr of like a detailed dancer but still a good performer Also, i cabr reallly learn a lot of things from your videos, tysm, Happy New Year

[@north6417]

I think people should mention more often that he learned from older dancers who had years of experience in contests/competitions rather than backup dancing gigs, since the skill level is a lot higher to be selected by dancers who do competitions. He was part of the Cupcakes dance crew (I think they changed to Cakebox at some point) and the older dancers who led his team selected and trusted him enough to take him with them to World of Dance

Thanks for this thorough analysis. I know that lee know is a detailed and perfectionist dancer but I didn't know that he can be that detailed like the hand movements? The angles? I'm shookted. And it's so satisfying that he never underdance or overdo because as what I've seen, some idols tends to overdance to create the impression of having the best impact to the point of looking messy and cutting the routine itself. I just want to say that to some nonstays and stays out there who thinks that lee know is a dancer who underdance. Well see it for yourself, the guy have said it himself that he intentionally not to stand out much because he wants the team to be in uniform and one. And to some who says that he doesn't deserve to be a dance leader, y'all should know that bangchan himself gives that leadership to lee know because he sees lee know as one who is capable of everything related to dancing. Even the members are always thankful to lee know in regards to dancing. The man is already on his way to become a professional choreographer, he's a professional dancer before he becomes a trainee, he trained for 4-5 years in dancing, have his dance crew, participated in World of Dance, being one of bts' back up dancer. He trained the longest on being a professional dancer than being an artist himself who is only a month. Never underestimate Lee Know's capabilities.

[@MultiFandom8isFate]

People need to know and realize how good of a dancer Lee Know of Stray Kids is. Thank you so much for this analysis.

[@shplino]

Lee Know is the main dancer and dance leader. As a dance leader, he values ​​the spotlight of the team more than the individual. So he tends to give feedback from the back of the members rather than stepping forward. Because he doesn't try to make himself stand out, there are people who don't know or disparage his dancing skills. Everyone, let's ignore the comments that disparage his position in SKZ and his dancing skills as a professional dancer. They write such comments to get attention. As popularity grows, so will the number of malicious comments. Still, among the 4th generation dancers, Lee Know is the best.

[@ESPHMacD]

The amount of control he has over his body movement, like in his isolations, is just extraordinary. Its a beautiful balance of powerful and fluid that looks so effortless.

[@minhoo_5]

This is the type of dance analysis videos that are unbiased. It's so detailed and on point and even provides references to make it more clear for the viewers. Honestly, I don't watch individual fancams before but I accidentally watched lee know's God's menu fancam and I was shocked because he is precise and has that huge body control, also he doesn't look tired the entire performance which even shocked me that's why I started watching other fancams of his and realized he is really a perfect dancer. Honestly, he doesn't over dance nor underdance that's what I liked about him, He knows how to dance powerfully and when to slow down, in simple terms not exaggerated movements. His facial expressions are just naturally captivating and I noticed that he has a beautiful sharp face and a natural fierce look that even a small smirk, fierce look, simple smile or any expressions he does is captivating?? Compared to other dancers that do a lot of facial expressions or movements to look cool or smthn bc honestly speaking it doesn't look good, it only looks exaggerated and most fans view that as 'powerful or cool/ energetic'. It is a charm to be expressive however don't overdo it and lee know is a good example of a natural charismatic dancer! No wonder Professional choreographers mention him a lot too. Plus he is a good dance teacher and overall he is attractive in anyway too 🐱

[@roxannemiller6961]

No disrespect to anyone else.😊

[@shadowunikat849]

The reason i found Lee know to be so hot is because he is a dancer. A dancer must know their body really well to be able to fully function in dance, something that I struggle with when I dance. My theory is that Lee know is able to fully visualize how a move is supposed to look, and knowing his body helps to fully complete the move. That's why Lee know is hot, his full control over his body.

[@ririka4526]

The thing is LeeKnow don't tend to do the over energetic dance which make his dance really clear,smooth,controlled and sharp. He knows what to do when he is dancing.

[@preciouswhite94]

[@Gigimbr]

As a dancer I agree completely, Lee Know is one of the best if not the best Idol dancers out there, and the fact that he achieved a lot of these skills at such a young age is incredible (don't even get me started with singing/rapping while dancing at the same time at his level). When it comes to dancing it truly comes down to the the little details (such as you displayed for the Wolf perf), when you dance, you want to hit a certain position or move cleanly while still using the correct technique, almost as if they were gonna take a picture of you in the in that very moment, that fact that he achieves this time and time again in all of his performances is very impressive. This was so satisfying to watch, the detail, chefs kiss

[@nermione]

this video is so accurate at a lot of levels. as a dancer who was trained by a lot of professionals, I know that those "professional choreographers" aren't much seen as great dancers in the eyes of those who don't dance because they have proper techniques that they need to follow in order to execute the dance moves properly and efficiently to their body. that's what makes them "professionals". it's not the amount of how hard you pop or how powerful you dance, but it's about creating balance and understanding your body in order to get the moves scientifically and artistically right. and that's why lee know is so good at dancing. when they're dancing as a whole team, you can't really notice him unlike hyunjin because he knows how to blend his movements and dance FOR A TEAM. but when you see him dance solo that's when you'll really notice his professionalism when it comes to dancing. for example his dance solo in the Kingdom teaser, you can actually see how fluid and effortless he executed those hard dance steps. if you watch a lot of professional choreographers in America like Matt Steffanina, Tim Milgram, Kyle Hanagami, etc. the first thing that you'll notice is how they dance with TECHNIQUES, not just with full power. and I think lee know resembles the way they dance, seeing that he took professional dance classes way before he became a jyp trainee. another dancer I can see dancing the same way as lee know is kino of pentagon. since they both attended professional dance classes during pre-debut days.

[@НастяТодощук]

After watching this I want Leeknow's AOTM.And i realised again how great of a dancer Leeknow is and how underappreciated he is. Thank you for making this analysis

[@chlaur3072]

SHEESH, I can't believe you caught all of that. You managed to make me, a non-professional, really care about details and gravity lmao and that's really impressive. Your passion in dancing can be felt with how in-depth you can study all these dancers and I'm so glad you got the chance to make a video for Lee know Edit: also, this is the first time I've watched a dance analysis video all the way through cause I really loved how you had such a natural way with words :)

[@leejaerim8972]

My thoughts exactly!

[@17nightstar]

this is why hes been my ult bias for 2 years now. i am so proud of him, this video made me realize that if i want my dreams to come true i need to work hard

[@aestaetic5596]

A year back when the saw the the dancerachas vlive I was so shocked how all 3 danced continuosly for long...but lee know caught my eye ...while hyunjin amd felix looked exhausted by the songs in the end(no hate to them ) leeknow's dance was still "clean".I never understood how he was able to do that...that tym I thought he must have more stamina than felix and hyunjin.but ..after a few months I realized it's not stamina only(both hyunjin and felix too have that) it's the technique he uses ...and how he uses natural forces to do his moves efficiently(what u mentioned) ..when I rewatched the vlive I realised how efficient he is....this was so intresting to see as fellow dancer.

[@donttouchmahsausage4682]

I always comeback here everytime I watched some stray kids dance analysis to be reminded of how great is Lee Know in this field.

[@missK04]

LEE KNOW IS INDEED THE BEST DANCER IN THIS GENERATION. HE COMBINED TALENTED AND HARD WORK that's why his skills continues to improve

[@meanttobe1854]

this video literally expplains why he is my bias 10000000000000% in dance criteria

[@LaureBabongui]

I love Lee's dance know he can do any dance and doesn't look tired on stage doesn't do exaggerated movements or exaggerated facial expressions In my opinion Lee know is the best dancer in the group because he favors the synchronization of the group the others prefer to shine alone but he does it in a group

[@tinkywinky8839]

this guy deserves more centers

[@araws20090712]

Oh.. Thank you so much in explaining it. I finally know what made several dancers look as light as feather while still executing hard choreo perfectly.

[@Abi-tm2lp]

I think most people’s impression abt dancing is usually the impact of your movements not the overall image of dancing esp the details, glad someone really pointed out how lee know dances perfectly. Dancing is logical too not just abt physical , you have throw your knowledge to your body. This is really why there’s a big difference when dancing professionally

[@Victoriaa505]

I just have to mention it because it's a crime. I hate comparing Lee Know and Hyunjin when it comes to dancing. Just fucking understand... Lee Know is in dancaracha for a reason, especially HE is OFFICIALLY called the dance leader and teacher. He has been dancing since childhood, he was a substitute dancer for BTS, he has been dancing for the longest time. He is the one who observes the participants while teaching the choreography, he gives and is asked for advice and to show movements. He creates most of the choreography and learns them the fastest. It's really rare to see mistakes from him. HE IS A PROFESSIONAL DANCER. He can do so many types of dance, his moves are the most composed, technical and professional. This doesn't mean you can't prefer any of the guys, you may like each member's dancing style, each of them dances well, although there's a reason why Felix, Minho and Hyunjin are in dancharache. Hyunjin's dance is more artistic, full of feelings and emotions, full of passion and abstraction. But you have to accept that, objectively, Minho is simply the best at what he does. Subjectively, you may have your heart for someone else. And it's incredibly unfair that Hyunjin has so many more solo performances and more popular dance moments than Minho. (I am not leaving out Felix here because I think he is "weak", he is a very good dancer but definitely people who are not blind know that the comparison is between the above-mentioned two for being the best)

[@phyuphwethant6550]

That's what I mean I am not jealous hyunjin I want justice for lee know JYP hide lee know's fabulous talent 😢

[@OT7STAYNOTOT8]

Hyunjin best dancer in skz. cry abt it.

[@hyt8_ss]

What’s the point of your comment? How can you belittle of Hyunjin's skills just because you think Lee Know is the best dancer? you’re more focused on Hyunjin than on your actual bias.

[@rayendianthe5515]

watching this again and seriously wanting new analysis on him for recent activities

[@rmx7581]

Lee know the most talented dancer no one can do it like him so clear and powerful

[@mjunex]

He is very much underrated and underappreciated by STAYS and by JYPE. Their is an UNEQUAL and UNFAIR distribution of spotlight in DanceRacha.

[@henalila4957]

I notice he was always so precise. Doesnt over do or under do a single step. And even a small movement is very visible when he was performing.

[@antonnyteeny]

This is why LeeKnow bias like me want people to understand and appreciate him as he should have received.

[@그이-h7m]

I know not every single stay or kpop fan would come across the factors behind dancing- and not just moving your body according to the song, but with Lee Know- oh how I wish everyone would recognize his great ability in dancing. I'm aware he has a background in dancing before Straykids but not about his bachelor, hearing it makes me inspired more about my dancing too. I love everything about his dancing, the effort he put on it- those years of training and knowing his body- you can clearly see how it benefits him now. And I love how you worded his passion for dancing not only derives into its artistry but also in logical sense, which I want to train on these days. I only saw dancing in artistic perpective, solely on it, but watching Lee Know's grasp of his talent- makes me realize how important putting logical touches in techniques are. It makes a lot of sense how his moves are precise and how stable his stamina- which I adore. I also hope people realize that he doesn't underdances, and yes, he blends well with the group but still standing out with his unique dancing. Thankyou thankyou so much for this detailed analysis...I understand fully now the things about his dancing and what makes him stand out to me. I respect Minho so much, specially in dancing. I adore his hardwork, like those years bro, and I can feel his passion in dancing...he really is my inspiration in dancing :'))

[@jel.lingerie5298]

one of the best dancers in the industry, not only by experience but also by techniques, consistency, and fluidity. thank you for this video!

[@minholic2390]

Thanks for this detailed video as someone who's not from a dance background I've noticed these things too especially the point abt "efficiency" he doesn't over or underdance & enjoy the performance which is actually rare to see in many other kpop dancers & many other things this video explains alot better it's disappointing that most kpop stans pay attention to expressions, excessive dancing not to mention there are still some so called stupid ranking videos exist simply ignoring this man's talent & years of training I hope one day he get recognized for his talent leeknow truly is *the next big thing in kpop*

[@leebit3339]

so this is why lee know dancing always look so effortless and easy 😳😳

[@CandidRose]

He's a pro dancer indeed. It's like his dancing is based on science. Lol. It's impressive how he has mastered all those key points to show an impactful dance.

[@kpoppiest]

I always knew Minho is a very powerful and detailed dancer and I always noticed that he manages to execute all the moves properly while still making it look so easy and that was what amazed me about him the most. But this...This explanation shows he is on a whole fricking another level! How one even calculate the energy you put into certain moves??? Crazy😵🔥anyway, this just proved Lee Know is one of the best(if not the best) dancers of the 4th generation, and as much as I love Hyunjin and Felix and Danceracha overall, Minho always caught my eye and stood out, a true dancing gem💎

[@gurlll408]

The way Lee Know become 1000× more attractive after watching this video 🤩🤩🤩 So proud that we have Lee Know, our pro idol pro dancer!!! 🔥🔥🔥

[@arisandini8933]

maybe this is why lee know dance moves look so easy but in fact it is super super difficult

[@snowieriego5389]

Man this really amaze me, the fact all those dance was i already watch and didn't even think or notice about the importance and the difference of every steps, this analysis change my perspective to lee know. HE'S REALLY A GREAT DANCER!!

[@GKFF9872]

Lee Know is to dance and choreography the way that Chan is to the producing portion of the group. His technical skills helps the group grow and learn and acts as a foundation both in learning the dance but also in performances. You can always tell a choreo about to go off when Lee Know is at the center. He presents power and precision while establishing a foundation for the group formation.

[@pshsonil8823]

그가 댄스리더인 이유입니다

[@blchhfsi6512]

he’s truly has skills what it takes to be a professional dancer not to mention he danced with professional like sm choreographers bada lee they where on the same dance team and he competitive in dance world and his team came 2nd not even that he got in college with his own choreography to get a bachelor degree on urban dance and choreography he’s truly is the best dancer in Kpop

[@moonluna__]

One of my dancers friend told me that there's a thing about good dancers that whenever you watch them, you're not even thinking about how tiring the dance move is. You just think that wow it's was executed so well. And that's what I always think whenever I watched Lee Know dance. It's not tiring to watch it's more like satisfying as compare to the other members. No hate/blame on the other members, but I think this era where we see a lot of lee know being in the center showcasing his dance is such a good era for stray kids :)

[@zi9ot7dx3g]

スキズの一員として踊る時、積極的に出す場面と抑える場面を使い分けているのも凄いと思う

[@bangsterbaby998]

I knew he was a good dancer, but after watching your video I may say he is incredibly skilled and I shall bow to his greatness.

[@lisa-hg9we]

Stray Kids must be proud to have Lee Know as their dance teacher, and dance leader and of course as a member of the group as well. yes..before debut the members learned the basics of dancing from lee know. then they develop it into their style.. now watch their performance.. boom boom lee know really the best dancer in his generation.. see his spectacular trail as a professional dancer before he debuted as an idol..

[@heluwenuwu7780]

Actually Lee Know doesn't underrated like most people think, he actually one of the most popular members in Skz and Korean, he has many TRUE STAY - which means a real fan, not a random person just have interested in Skz when they accidentally see their performance or just a trend, this people just know the surface (Felix has a lot of fans like this). Lee Know in company with Huynjin, has the most viewed fancam in group, his card or photobook sold as fast asf, he always be the bias wrecker in Skz cauze his unique and fun personality, and STAY really really support him.

[@ayanobadass949]

Indeed we know that the guy is popular with fans but not sm outside of Stays 😭

[@kzzlkw]

this is why i always say he is one of the best dancer in kpop.. he's a real dancing gem he is a professional dancer and is on his way to a great choreographer.. he is the pillar of skz dance.. he deserves recognition, love and respect for his talent, skills and hard work. And I really love and respect him more and more. thanks for making this video..

[@MintyMinho]

There he is, there’s my favourite boy 😭
