Dahil emotional ako today and highly unregulated, mag long post ako.
Wala talagang sense mga haters ni Mark sakin but I won’t lie if I say seeing Mark get hated on doesn’t affect me.
Wala e, lalabs ko yung tao e.
Those who were hurt by him leaving or by him wearing that shirt, sure, wala na ko masasabi diyan because who wasn’t hurt by either or both of those things? But making jokes about his religion, spreading misinformation, treating him worse than T***, etc.
Yeah, that’s where I draw the line.
Nakakapagod lang kasi. Every time we celebrate him, dami tumatahol. Huminga lang siya, BARK BARK BARK. People defend him or speak up for him haters he like “uhm actually” na para bang holier than thou pero di naman siya kilala personally.
Ang sakit talaga makita that the person who brings me comfort and healing has to go through this because some trolls are getting comfortable saying shit online because, guess what? They won’t be held accountable. Their lives are so miserable that they have to lash out at one person who’s just doing his best despite the storms coming his way and trying to uplift people with him. He’s been put on such a high pedestal over the years that one mistake has such a huge impact. And y’all insist erasing his contributions because of that one mistake na para bang one mistake makes up his entire being. He made a mistake but he’s not the horrible person you all make him out to be— those two truths can co-exist at the same time as people are multifaceted beings.
“But he’s a celebrity, he should be put on a higher standard.” And he is. He’s held to an impossible standard, might I say.
I’m not saying he’s perfect but you know? He has set the bar high about this whole thing: he took accountability, he acknowledged his mistake, apologized, and promised to do better.
As someone who loves him, I can only trust the kind of person he has shown and continues to prove himself to be: a good person.
Finally, it’s okay if you’re hurt or feel betrayed but like, don’t go into safe spaces for him to diss and spread hate? Anong point niyo dun? “Di kita bati pag bati mo siya.” Kinder yarn? Apaka herd mentality. Tama na kayo diyan. Let people support who they want to support without shaming them. You aren’t entitled to other people’s choices and lives.
So bali 1, 2, 3 kanya kanya na tayo.
If you have nothing good to say about him, don’t engage na.
And for those who continue to support him: thank you and you definitely aren’t alone.
Oks, sorry tama na muna ako. 😭🩵
Anyways, I love Mark Lee.
they say don’t get too attached. don’t let your happiness depend on these groups, because they leave, everything ends eventually. it’s all fleeting.
but how could i not, when they showed me what friendship really means.. growing up together, celebrating victories, carrying each other through failures. because ilichil, 7dream, nct.. they’re never just a group, they’re family.
mark’s letter made it clear: the care, the love, the deep understanding behind every choice, proving that they are real through and through.
and maybe that’s why i hold on so tightly, because even if it’s temporary, i’ve learned to find something beautiful in things that don’t last forever.
to love is to be hurt. it’s inevitable, inescapable even. but i would never trade the happiness they gave me.
i will never regret loving you, mark.
i will never regret being an nctzen.
i will continue to cheer you on. together as a group, and individually, wherever life takes you.

The hate towards Mark has gotten so severe that people resort to calling him names, dragging his beliefs, and even his family just to showcase how much hate they carry. Then the nerve to call Markfs delusional, when all we're doing is protecting him from your nasty mouths.
mark's message to his mom:
"mom~ as much as this album is based on my life, i think the most important person in my life is you, mom. i'm very similar to you and i'm so thankful for that. thank you for raising me. please always be healthy and i'll do better!"
