Pop culture meets Planetary Protection: Mark Lee at WED [World Environment Day] 2026
Capturing the absolute spotlight of the younger generation during the opening ceremony at the iconic Heydar Aliyev Center was the appearance of MARK LEE, a former member of the prominent groups NCT and SuperM. This marked his inaugural official public appearance since the expiration of his contract with his long-time agency, SM Entertainment, in April 2026.
This UN appearance signifies a monumental turning point in Mark's professional trajectory, serving as a definitive proclamation of his autonomy as an independent artist. The performance materialized just days after the debut of his self-established creative enterprise, Upper Room (registered under his legal name, Lee Mark). No longer operating within the conventional boundaries of a traditional idol, Mark now assumes the dual roles of Creator and Co-CEO of his own label. Upper Room will serve as the primary conduit through which he directs all his musical, visual, and performance endeavors moving forward.
As the closing act of the opening ceremony, MARK LEE was accorded the prestigious honor of performing before global leaders and high-ranking UN executives. He delivered an intimate, unreleased acoustic solo track titled "Ready or Not." The composition was conceived during his excursion to the UNEP Global Headquarters in Nairobi, Kenya, and his visit to the Maasai Mara National Reserve earlier in 2026. Immersing himself in the majesty of the natural world and engaging firsthand with UN personnel regarding the environmental crisis provided the profound inspiration for him to articulate planetary protection through his unique artistic lens.
Mark's performance thus served as a poignant metaphor for a "new beginning" and a collective stride forward to salvage the global ecosystem, perfectly mirroring the #NowForClimate ethos. To further amplify this momentum, Mark actively participated in the Climate Dance Challenge, performing the "Climate Limbo" alongside fellow environmental activists to galvanize the youth and foster a heightened sense of ecological responsibility.

This week, iMBC Entertainment has summarised the major stories that shook the entertainment industry.
》NCT Departure – Mark, who left SM Entertainment, launches independent label ‘UPPER ROOM’.
Mark Lee, formerly of the group NCT, has launched a new independent label: UPPER ROOM.
UPPER ROOM is a creative company established by Mark alongside colleagues with whom he has built trust. Centered on music, the label plans to organically connect various content areas, including video, visuals and performance to expand Mark’s unique creative world in a more multidimensional way.
In particular, Mark made his first official public appearance since the label’s launch. On the 5th, he attended the opening ceremony for World Environment Day, held in Baku, Azerbaijan, at 11:00 am local time (4:00 pm Korean time).
Mark concluded the event by performing a solo stage of his unreleased self-composed song "Ready or Not."
#WorldEnvironmentDay might be wrapping up, but the climate challenge isn’t. Neither is the growing movement of people, cities and countries taking action.
This is just a glimpse of the action, ideas and momentum driving climate action around the 🌎.
Let’s keep it going #NowForClimate: https://t.co/SKg07kn0En
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.
