These are Lee Know's own words. Instead of making things up about him or saying that he doesn't want something or simply doesn't care, look at the facts.
He said that nothing in his life was going the way he wanted. That he had no expectations. What made him feel so hopeless? He said he hadn't smiled in a long time.
When he was asked if he would like to try acting, he answered with such excitement. "I'll do whatever you give me" is more than enough to say.
He experienced burnout. His self-confidence took a hit. He said time and time again that he looked bad whenever he looked at himself. Because people kept stubbornly calling him fat. Even when he started dieting, he reassured us not to worry about him.
He said he wanted to do more covers.
I don't know how we can protect him anymore. I love him so much, and I don't want him to have to keep fighting through all of this.
