"Anyone of these hopefuls could be the next big thing in K-pop"

I love everytime I remember this video, lol.

For context, Lee Know was interviewed in front of Cube's building trying to pass in an audition there. He didn't, tho.

It took some time for him to reach his dream, from competing in a dance crew alongside well known crew mates like Vata and Bada Lee, being BTS' back up dancer and touring with them, until JYPE saw the potential on him to join the agency.

But he was destined to STARdom regardless and the narrator didn't lie.

in conclusion, I'm thankful Lee Minho is a Stray Kid

There is a famous letter he wrote when he was 13/14-ish where he says his role model was Usher and he was a big fan of Apink, because they were so different from other top girlgroups at that time and caught his attention for that

Maybe that's why he tried a Cube audition. Didn't Apink debut under their sublabel? I just thought about it Loool

He has been wrecking me through the whole LALALALA era. He has been eating and leaving no crumbs everytime they perform this song.

Quote from Elliah

Lmao maybe. Cute

Well I'm glad he ended up in JYP

Same. Some things are just meant to be, Elli...

If you thing about the timetable, in 2017 he toured with BTS until june, joined JYP in july, was introduced as a Stray Kids member in august, the reality show ended in december. And he debuted 3 months later.

No pre-training at all, just pure experience ...

Quote from Elliah

He was definitely meant to be a Stray Kid.

Omg what a summer for him, big things happening fast.

He's so hard working. His vocals especially I think have improved so much since debut until now too

He received some harsh criticism by JYP on his vocals during the Reality Show...

Well, It was expected, since he didn't have any training and much less experience as a vocalist to back him up, he was experient as a dancer and received praise for such, leading the other members during the show's practices.

Nowdays, I agree he improved significantly! It helps he pays a personal vocal coach alongside Seungmin and I.N.

Quote from Elliah

I never watched the reality show

Yes there's definitively a big noticeable improvement in his vocals, he didn't seem that strong when they debuted, which is understandable. And now you can tell he's been going to a vocal coach. I started to pay extra attention to his vocals after Taste, he sounded amazing there. He sounds great on Cover Me.

You aren't missing much It's not that worth your time...

And yes, I love how he sounds on Cover Me and, previously, on his solo track 'Limbo'!

Also, we need a full recording behind of Cover Me, what they show on Intro is not enough
