Of course! Also this request may or may not have sent me down a youtube rabbit hole of Han and Lee Know moments...

Sidenote: So, the process of getting cards for this reading was interesting, to say the least. When I do readings on the Neon Moon deck, I tend to shuffle and shuffle until cards fall out. (For other decks I fan the cards out and pull the turned down cards that speak to me, but that method doesn’t seem to work for me with Neon Moon. Sometimes that means I’m sitting there for minutes, shuffling like a dumb-ass. This time though, the cards fell out really quickly. Particularly on Lee Know’s side of the spread. I don’t know what it means, other than the cards feeling particular chatty. Still interesting, though!
Alright, now onto the Minsung reading!
Lee Know and Han have each other’s back, through good times and bad. That seems to be the theme that runs through this cards. This is fortunate, because they’re going through a bit of a rough patch right now. Things were incredibly busy for them in the second half of 2020 and it looks as though things aren’t about to let up any time soon. A lack of rest tends to impact one’s mood, and that’s definitely the case here. However, I think they actually want to keep it moving and capitalize on the attention they’ve recently received. Whenever I do readings for Stray Kids there’s such an overwhelming sense of ambition and I get it here, too. They want to do better and be even more successful and they want to keep moving until they achieve their goals. While this is admirable, it’s also a mindset that invites in self-doubt, worry, and fear, and they’re both really going through it now as they’re in between major activities.
Fortunately, Lee Know and Han are there to confide in each other. They go over their fears together, but also probably blow off steam by getting to vent about JYPE decisions or ridiculous netizen comments that have made their way to them. Sometimes they’re in danger of being a little too gossipy and whiny, and sometimes actually exacerbating each other’s worst moods. Mostly, though, this is a healthy friendship where they encourage each other to see tasks through, delegate burdens, and rest.
Sometimes this is a point of contention, though. Whenever I do a reading that involves Han, I get this strong sense that he’s really preoccupied by the the Mortifying Ordeal of Being Known. He wants intimacy but seems afraid of appearing vulnerable. Fortunately - and unfortunately - Lee Know really seems to have Han’s number. Lee Know is very invested in Han’s well-being and sometimes that involves him encouraging Han to take a break, rest, and go easy on himself. This is always meant in a benign way and sometimes Han sees that. Sometimes (like lately) he gets pretty moody about it, wondering if these suggestions mean that Lee Know sees Han as weak. This state of things isn’t permanent, though. Ultimately, Han does seem to want someone who will confidently speak the truth to him, even if he hates hearing it.
Mostly, though, they have a bit of a mutual admiration society going on. Lee Know is actually incredibly impressed by Han, seeing him as a creative visionary and leader. Likewise, Han seems to see Lee Know as the coolest person ever. Determined, chill, self-actualized. Judging by the card I pulled, Han really just needs Lee Know to keep being himself, even if he gets cranky with Lee Know for acknowledging that Han is human, haha.
As for the future, it looks like the cranky atmosphere will die down. They have new projects coming up, and they’re definitely excited about them. As much as they want to be out in the public eye again, they’re also going to enjoy the process of fine-tuning the next things to come. They’re both creative souls and they enjoy this process together.
Another cool sidenote, here: I pulled King of Wands on Han’s side of things, and Queen of Wands on Lee Know’s side of things. This really does suggest a harmonious relationship to me.
