“Combining NCT, NCT 127, NCT DREAM, SuperM, and solo activities, Mark has released over 50 albums. By simple calculation, this amounts to nearly five comebacks per year.”

mark had an estimated 5 comebacks PER YEAR on his career when an average cb of an idol is just 2 per year 😔

"Combining NCT, NCT 127, NCT DREAM, SuperM, and his solo activities, he has released over 50 albums. By simple calculation, this amounts to nearly five comebacks per year."

"Despite this, Mark did not crumble and proved himself. In particular, he transformed rap, which was pointed out as a weakness in SM, into a strength, establishing himself as an all-rounder equipped with both rapping and performance skills. His decision to take on Mnet's High School Rapper in 2017 and reach the finals is in the same vein."

"At the time, while simultaneously promoting NCT 127 Limitless and NCT Dream My First Love, he completed the stage without a single lyrical mistake or wavering. Ultimately, it was a result built on skill."

i’m ugly crying right now because BIGBANG OT4 was never about the songs together or the group, it was always about wanting the boys to be in contact again because they never stopped loving each other. they’re on different paths but will FOREVER be brothers.

this is just a story for some people but this means the WORLD to us vips and i’m sure seunghyun is emotional as well, i’m genuinely sobbing

if we come to think of it, mark was a good employee. followed his contract, never once did have a controversy. when his contract was up, he chose to leave the brand, still with no controversies, no lawsuit — just quietly quitting on a random day (good friday)

FROM MARK LEE 💌
#MARK #마크

“hello, this is mark. hi, czennies…

i debuted with nct u on april 9, 2016, and now that it’s april 2026, ten whole years have already passed. during those ten years, so many things happened, we performed on so many stages, and most of all, i think we made countless memories together. i know there are czennies who have supported me since the sm rookies days, so if i include that time, it’s actually been over ten years.

how have the past 10+ years been for you, czennies…? for me, i think i’ve truly, truly been nothing but happy.

now that ten years have passed, and since you’ve made me happy every single day without fail throughout that long time, i wanted to personally write and share with you my new decision and the beginning of a new chapter.
i know this may feel very sudden to everyone… but actually, since my trainee days maybe even before that i’ve always had a dream in my heart.

i wanted to walk around busking on the streets with just an acoustic guitar, and I loved writing in english so much that I even dreamed of becoming a writer. i was too young to fully understand and clearly picture that dream back then, but because i loved music and performing, i auditioned in canada 14 years ago, and started my musical path at sm, beginning with nct.

because my beginning was with sm and nct, i was able to get to know myself more and find the best version of myself. i’m truly just filled with gratitude.

through nct, it feels like i’ve experienced the sky, the land, the sea, and the mountains at their fullest. after spending ten years seeing and experiencing the world in the best way, and going on such an incredible journey, i naturally began to think about what the greatest dream i could have is what the greatest purpose and calling i could have as a person named mark.

as my 10-year contract comes to an end, i awakened all the senses i had kept inside me and thought deeply for a long time. eventually, i became curious about what the complete and true form of that dream really looks like, and i felt a strong desire to fully dive into it.

what will my music be? what kind of fruit will i bear? and how can i bring that into the world… i truly want to find those answers and achieve them.

i talked a lot with each of the members, and it honestly brings me to tears just thinking about it every single one of them told me they support me.

i feel endlessly sorry, but more than anything, deeply grateful.

to the older members who see me as their cute younger brother, and to the younger ones who see me as a leader, i want to say thank you again, so, so much.

to all the members who listened closely to my concerns, understood my heart, thought about me, shared their opinions, and had such meaningful conversations with me, i’m truly thankful and i love you all.

we’ve been on the same ship for over ten years and had an incredible journey together. i’ve always loved going underwater, and now that i’m saying i want to swim on my own, the members are supporting even my deep dive with love. i will continue to support and love them as well.

since i was selected through a global audition in 2012, i want to sincerely thank all the teachers from the training team, the company staff, managers, directors, executives, and every department, everyone who has raised me to who I am today.

my beginning was sm, nct, and czennies. no matter what kind of music i create moving forward, i will never forget where i started.

but… no matter how big of a decision i’ve made, i fully understand that it doesn’t ease everyone’s worries, concerns, or pain just because i see this as a personal challenge.

by announcing this big decision for a new chapter in my life, i know that for czennies who have loved me as “NCT’s Mark,” for markfs, and for the public, this change can feel like a huge shock and even a source of hurt. i also know that this handwritten letter alone cannot soften all of that.”

Actress Lee Sunbin mentioned #RYUJIN and the viral revival of THAT'S A NO NO.

“When I went to ITZY concert, that was the first time they ever performed THAT'S A NO NO, right? Was it like 5 or 6 years ago? It was originally just a b-side, but they made choreography for the concert and performed it like that. But seriously, i'm not lying, you should ask Ryujin later.
On the day I watched the concert, I got so hyped. I was like, 'Wow, what is this THAT'S A NO NO?' Even on the way home while driving, I kept asking Chaerin, 'Hey, what was that song from earlier? Not the others but what was that one?' I kept trying to figure it out, searched for THAT'S A NO NO, and was like, 'Shouldn’t they promote this?'
I kept talking about it with my friend, but even that wasn’t enough to get it out of my system. So I messaged Ryujin on KakaoTalk like, 'When are you getting home? Tell me as soon as you arrive. I have something to say to you.' And then I video-called her. She answered right away without even taking off her makeup yet. So I was like, 'That song you guys did was so good. What is that? This is seriously going to blow up. But why is it a 5-year-old b-side? If this were a new song.. Wow, I can already see it, people copying the dance, doing challenges, dancers loving it, people who like dancing going crazy for it,' and I just kept going on and on.
Back then, Ryujin was like, 'Yeah, it’s really good. We rearranged it a bit for the concert, but the choreography turned out so well!' And I was like, 'Ah, this is such a waste.. seriously.'
But then, exactly like I said? A week after the concert, it started blowing up on social media. Fan reactions started appearing and the fancams from the concert that I went to started going viral. So whenever I saw Shorts or Reels where those concert fancams were getting attention, not just people copying the dance, I would screenshot them and send them to Ryujin.

Sunbin: See? What did I tell you?
Ryujin: ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
Sunbin: It’s getting attention now. Can’t you just promote it once?
Ryujin: We’re actually thinking about it.

I told her, 'I’m telling you, this is going to be huge!' and now it’s literally blowing up everywhere. So I texted her again:

Sunbin: Seriously, what did unnie tell you?
Ryujin: Unnie, you should become a fortune teller.

She told me they were already considering promoting it. And then, they performed it two days ago, guysㅜㅜ They did it on M Countdown! Did you see Ryujin with short hair doing that stage? Did you see the choreography?
But I think all the fans who saw THAT'S A NO NO stage at the concert already had that feeling. But seriously, they’re all just so good~ ITZY is seriously the best~ It's so good!”
