Pleased to welcome Mark Lee, globally recognized K-pop artist, rapper and singer, to Baku as part of the cultural programme of #WorldEnvironmentDay2026.
World Environment Day brings together people, ideas and cultures from across the world, demonstrating that environmental action is not only about policies and technologies, but also about awareness, creativity and human connection.
We discussed the growing role that artists and cultural figures can play in raising awareness of climate and environmental challenges and inspiring younger generations to engage in sustainability efforts.
We also discussed the potential for future cooperation with him to help strengthen public engagement on climate action and environmental awareness.

"'cause my heart knows more than my eyes can see"
and that's what he wrote on his letter too
"i believe that our hearts have better sight than our eyes"
“i visited kenya this year and at that time, i was going through a very important time of my life. i had to make a very important decision for my career & for my life. so i had a lot of people tell me, a lot of advice, asking me questions that i really didn’t know the answer to”
#MARK#마크 shares a personal story about a difficult period in his life when he had to make an important decision about his career and future. During a trip to Kenya, he felt overwhelmed by advice and questions he couldn't answer.
While on a safari, seeing wildlife, especially a lion, led him to an important realization: “You don't always need to have all the answers or be completely ready before moving forward. What matters is being willing to take the next step.”
This realization inspired him to write Ready or Not.
