NCT's Mark, along with jewelry brand "BOUCHERON," released a gravure from the June issue of "COSMOPOLITAN." The staff on set admired Mark's natural expression, poses, and how he effortlessly wore the glamorous jewelry. He released a solo song "200" with a rock sound and lyrical melody, expressing that he had many things he wanted to do like rap, sing, and dance, but ultimately decided to show his true self by relaxing and giving a real impression. He explained that he struggled to choose the lyrics for the acoustic version "Minhyung's Ver.," deciding on the Korean name because it was something only he could do. Mark, as a solo artist, feels transparent, as his inner self is revealed through the process of creating music. He mentioned that his A&R team felt like they could see through him when they read his lyrics. When asked what defines him, he said he is still searching, but believes his upcoming solo album will reflect various aspects of himself rather than a specific concept or atmosphere. He sees this journey of finding his own color as meaningful. His potential is limitless. The interview, which includes stories from Mark's gravure and solo song, as well as his beliefs, can be found in the June issue of "COSMOPOLITAN."
