FROM #텐 #TEN 💌

“hello czennies and wayzennies, this is ten.

i spent a long time thinking about how to begin this message. i wondered if there might be a better way to share this, and thought about it over and over again, but in the end, i feel sorry and regretful that i’m delivering it like this in writing. so today, i want to share my true feelings honestly.

moving forward, i will continue spending time with you as ten of nct and wayv. at the same time, i’m planning to take on a new challenge as a solo artist.

since debuting in 2016 with nct u, the time i’ve spent promoting with nct and wayv and meeting all of you has been filled with truly precious and happy memories. leaving thailand at a young age to come to korea, there were many unfamiliar and scary moments, but all the staff at sm sincerely took care of me and always stood by my side.

above all, i believe i’m able to be who i am today because you, who have stayed by my side through every moment, were there. thank you, truly.

as time passed and i now find myself approaching 30, i began asking myself once again, “what kind of person do i want to be from now on?” and “what kind of music and what side of myself do i want to show?”

after much thought, i came to want to try new challenges in a new environment. after many conversations with the members and the staff at sm, and after deep consideration, i decided to conclude my exclusive contract with the company.

i know very well that this wasn’t an easy choice, and that it could greatly change the direction of my life moving forward. but i will take responsibility for my decision and do my best so that i won’t have any regrets.

i sincerely thank the members who have always supported me so i could dream even bigger, and i’m also deeply grateful to everyone at sm who has trusted me and been with me until now.

and to czennies and weishennies, who have always believed in me and loved me no matter what, because of you, i was able to come this far.

i still don’t fully know what kind of side of myself i’ll be able to show you in the future, but i want to walk that path together with you.

will you continue to be with me?

nct, wayv, and ten, i will come back to you with an even better version of myself, unchanged at heart.

thank you always. and i love you very much.

🐻: i think I’ve been spending my time thinking about what’s next. i have been resting, but I’ve also been taking vocal lessons, and i have been preparing for the next album comeback.. just constantly thinking about the future. because of that, i figured you might be worried, so i thought it’d be better to come and talk to you face-to-face like this. i also wanted to share some of my thoughts and feelings.

first of all, thank you so much to everyone who’s been worried about me. it's been really been over 10 years, right? if i am being exact, since i was 14… it’s been more than 13 years now. so yeah, it’s been 13 years.

during those 13 years with mark hyung, i relied on him so much. i learned so much from him.
whenever i was shaken, he held me together.
honestly, other than during concerts, i have almost never seen him cry but there were times he called me while crying. to me, he was more than just a member… he was truly like a real older brother.

in his family, he’s the youngest, and I’m the oldest in mine, but to me, he was my hyung. really. more than any other “hyung,” he felt like a real one to me. so after spending 13 years together, i depended on him a lot.

i think that’s why many of you are even more worried, because you know that too. thank you so, so much.

as soon as the article came out, i sent Mark hyung a long message. i told him: everyone knows how hard he worked while living as part of nct. all of that will surely become meaningful steps on the path he’s going to walk. and at the same time, everything he’s done in nct will also become good steps for nct's future path. so i told him to work hard in a way that he won’t regret the choice he made.

now that i am the only one doing two teams, of course i feel sad and worried too. but all the things i built up while working with him… how should i even describe it? the energy and strength I gained from being with him are still with me. so now, i have become someone who can walk forward even without him.

of course, even if he hadn’t been there from the start, i might have still made it this far…
but i don’t think that path would have been easy alone. still, because he was there, he gave me comfort, strength, and support. an all of that has built up into the strength that allows me to keep going now.

that is something ireally wanted to tell all of you, that you don’t have to worry too much.

mark hyung wasn’t my only pillar of support. i have the other members too, and i have czennies who support me. so i am not scared. i am not worried.

i don’t know yet what choices or decisions i will make in the future, but no matter what, the 10 years i have walked and the many people who’ve been by my side will continue to be with me. so i am not afraid.

and when it comes to Mark hyung’s decision… i know his personality well. i know he must have thought about it deeply. he probably went through a lot of stress and pain while making that choice.

of course, we can’t say whether that decision was right or wrong… but i do feel a bit regretful about the way it was delivered to you all.

i knew about it at the time too… but honestly, there was nothing the members could do.
it was such a helpless moment, we really couldn’t do anything except feel frustrated and cry. that part is still really frustrating.

but still, thank you all so much. and going forward… i hope you’ll continue to stay with us like you are now.

“It's a night where I'm worried about Czennies. Seeing you in pain makes me feel really heavy.
Have you eaten 😌

Originally, I wanted to go live today and talk with Czennies a bit, but I was worried that if I spoke during a sensitive and difficult time like this, what I wanted to say might get distorted. So I decided to write instead.

These days, I've been filming a drama
and preparing this and that. I'm eating properly in between, so please don't skip your meals either.

Last week, we had our final concert as seven members. To be honest, I was secretly shedding tears ever since we were practicing in the practice room. But being in front of Czennies made me get even more immersed in the moment.

When we sang My Youth, so many memories came rushing back. I think the reason our lyrics feel special is because they're not only words for Czennies, but also words for Dream, and even for myself. Especially during the concert, our songs sounded completely different than usual.

Even when it wasn't my part, I sang along continuously, cherishing every single second. I tried my best to engrave every moment into my memory—the lights, the stage setups, Czennies, and my members.

I believe everyone has their own precious life, and ultimately, choosing their path and walking it is up to each person. It's the same for me. I think anyone who has a dream encounters moments where they have to walk quietly toward the direction they believe in.

At first, I was upset, but knowing that person, knowing all the hard work he put in, even though I couldn't express it much, I want to cheer on the path of the hyung I truly loved, from afar.

Nothing lasts forever, but just as the wish for something to be eternal is love, I think the feeling of not wanting to let go, yet wanting to let them go, is also love.

Right now, the people who are having the hardest time are probably Czennies.

I'm not writing this expecting you to feel exactly the same way I do. I just wrote this thinking about what might help you feel even a little bit better. I know so well that the love you give is extraordinary and not something to be taken for granted, which makes me worry even more 😭 I hope you always stay healthy and find happiness often.

I am letting go of one of the most beloved moments in my life. I take pride in having spent ten years that were more special and precious than anyone else's.

But even this is not the end, it's just a process. There will be even cooler results later. It might be hard right now, but once things get better, please look back on these days little by little as memories. And please look forward to all the things the members and I still haven't shown you yet. There is so much more to come.

Please wait just a little bit longer for us.

I'm sorry for hurting you deeply.

Czennies, have peaceful dreams tonight.”

[🧃 @kulwichyuu]

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.

💚🐯🌱

sa tatlong main group ko 1 nalang ang buo 😃, awa nalang sana. 'wag niyo ng tibagin 'yang natitirang isa.

[shie @saemriel]

ang tanging silver lining ko lang ay at least alam ng mga members.. kung ano man ang naging desisyon ni markie, naging open siya sa mga members niya.... the way lele was the first one to comment sa post means they know... the decision may had hurt them (thats normal they are

[Enn~ || ia @jjtywn]

seeing this letter makes me cry so hard, not bcs i'm sad but bcs i'm happy that he will now choose the path that he really wants

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.”
