Lee Know of Stray Kids adorned the cover of a fashion magazine. The fashion magazine 'Harpers BAZAAR KOREA' released three types of covers for the November issue shot with Lee Know. He captivated with his bright blonde hair and well-defined features. In the three covers released, he showcased a presence typical of a hot K-POP idol group member with relaxed poses and sharp gazes. The concept of this cover is 'Real, Lee Know.' The aim is to capture the moment where Lee Know as an idol and Lee Min-ho (his real name) as a young man in his twenties coexist freely, and he perfectly embodies that visual. Beautiful cuts were born, exuding freshness while being familiar. In a post-shoot interview, Lee Know was asked about achieving the historic feat of '7 consecutive weeks on the Billboard 200' with their recently released new album 'KARMA' and his feelings about challenging a stadium performance in Korea after 7 years since debut. He said, 'I still can't feel it. Achieving number one is not something we can do by our own power. I am grateful just to stand on the stage I've dreamed of, and I am even more thankful that my first performance was made possible thanks to the fans who support us.' When asked about what he wants to do better now that he is excelling in vocals and dance, he showed a resolute attitude, saying, 'I want to raise my value as a person. It's not about material value, but I want to upgrade my inner self to be healthy and solid.' Regarding his firm belief as an artist who dances, sings, and stands on stage, he answered, 'I want to be number one. If I break down, I can't do anything. To put it strongly, before being Lee Know, I want to make myself a person suitable for this job as Lee Min-ho. Fortunately, I don't think I need to undergo a big change. I think this job suits me very well.' When asked about what he cannot compromise on, he answered, 'Running away,' and said, 'If I give up, I think I will have regrets. Whatever it is, I think I will try at least three times. Even if I don't reach perfection, I want to be a person who accomplishes it in the end.'
