Han/Lee Know

Minsung is a pairing in the Stray Kids fandom.
==In Reality==
In real life, Han and Lee Know present themselves as very good friends, and colleagues. They seem to enjoy each other's company, and affection.
HAN and Lee Know call each other petnames, hold each other's hands, offer other soft and supportive touches, and spend occasions outside of work together. Han has even referred to Lee Know as his husband, and soulmate, also asking Lee Know to pick him to be his boyfriend. Lee Know has also referred to Han as his boyfriend.
===Candids, Photo Shoots & SelCas===
Their photos are often used as reference or inspiration for fanworks.
====23 April 2020 SelCa====
Otherwise referred to as 0423, was the date of a SelCa where Lee Know appeared to be sidled up against HAN, with HAN's arm around him. Then a SelCa taken using the mirror from across the room was shared, and it showed that Lee Know was actually positioned with his leg thrown over HAN's waist. Fans 'celebrate' the anniversary of these images.
====15 January 2024 Candid====
The photos were taken at the airport.

==="Dates"===
Han & Lee Know, at times, do things apart from their group. These occasions have been called 'date's by both the boys and fans. Additionally, sometimes a member who would have ended up third-wheeling leaves the two of them alone together to "enjoy their date."
====02 May 2022====
Otherwise referred to as 0502, Lee Know shared on bubble that the weather was nice out, so he was 'playing with' HAN. They also shared two SelCas that day. Two years later he shared a very similar sentiment, which became evidence for the theory that they had another date on 02 May 2024.

==Fandom==
Fans of the ship have called themselves 'Minsungers.'
Fans have referred to Han as Lee Know's 'manual' and Bang Chan has said that Han is the only one who can control Lee Know. Han appears to have an understanding of Lee Know that others do not, and Lee Know's affections for Han seem to make it so that he's willing to listen to Han more often.
===Antis===
Some fans feel that being an anti, either toward Minsung shippers, or toward Minsung itself carries the air of jumping on the bandwagon, saying that it's a similar vibe as "I'm not like other girls."
Some Stray Kids fans have even called for the separation of Han and Lee Know, out of their hatred for the ship, or shippers:
Someone responded to the above sentiment with:
====Fanservice (Accusations)====
At times they have expressed that some of their 'flirting' happens more often or likely if there are cameras around, filming them. This may lead some to believe that many of their actions and words are fanservice.
Minsungers may either agree, happy just to have a cute "relationship" presented to them, or disagree. If they disagree, they may cite instances where it looked as though HAN or Lee Know hesitated but wanted to touch each other, or times when they were touching, but appeared to be concerned the cameras might catch such actions. There are many compilation videos of their interactions, as well as analyses.
Fans have translated something Han said, and interpreted it to mean that footage of just he and Lee Know is more likely to end up on the cutting room floorkpopboygroupsmakesmeforget4957: (January 2023), which would be quite strange if much of their relationship was fanservice. If it was fanservice, wouldn't more footage be a good thing for the editors? Fans have wondered if them receiving less screen time is because their relationship is a bit too much at times, but it's also possible that since the group is such a large size, it wouldn't make sense to include too much footage of less than three members at a time. In episode 8 of 2 Kids Show, HAN said that vlogs where it's just the two of them are unusable because of how and what they communicate to each other.
The way "Want so BAD" has been performed, or not performed, has been cited as more proof against the theory of their relationship being fanservice.

===Characterization===
===Controversies===
As with any RPS, people say one should not ship real people. Likewise, a popular defense against shipping them is that it supposedly suggests males cannot be affectionate with each other without the risk of being called gay.
Fans of the ship have also responded with humor, such as in this tweet, showing how fans are not the only participants in shipping members.
====Stray Kids Response====
It is believable the performance group does not mind shipping, at least to a degree. Leader Bang Chan and group member Changbin are often seen making remarks that would fuel the fire of shipping. So much so that Changbin is called the President of the Minsung Society, and Bang Chan the Vice President. I.N has been referred to as their 'professional third-wheel.'
