mark’s recent updates 🥹
1. spent a lot of time going around new york and kept working on music whenever he had the chance. he’s still working on it
2. visited vancouver and worked on songs there too
3. he got a haircut
mark said he had been living like an ordinary person, taking things easy, sometimes walking around without even wearing a mask and not singing much except occasionally. he even joked that there were moments when he forgot what his job was.. he admitted he hadnt been very active on weverse either. during that time, he remembered that fans keep asking if he was eating well. thats why he shared that he had been eating stir fried bean sprouts and suddenly his feed filled with stir fried bean sprouts too and it genuinely touched him and it made him realize just how many people had been patiently waiting for him..
