Former NCT member Mark revealed his everyday life in Tokyo. Today (the 4th), Mark posted photos on his SNS with the comment, “Thank you Tokyo.” In the released photos, he was seen sitting on a chair placed outside a building and looking at his mobile phone, and his unadorned, natural appearance stood out. He wore an orange top with white and green lines and loose denim pants. He rolled up the hems of the pants thickly, matched them with white socks and bright-colored sneakers, and added black sunglasses, strolling around the city in that style. Fans who saw the photos expressed their delight by leaving heart emojis in the comments section. Mark usually communicates with fans by sharing photos from his work sites and daily life through SNS. On the 30th of last month, he released a video on the official SNS of his agency Upper Room in which he read letters sent by fans and replied to them. He revealed, “I’m planning various amazing things,” raising expectations for activities at the end of the year. Although he did not disclose the specific details, he told fans that there is something he is preparing himself. This year, Mark ended his exclusive contract with SM Entertainment and concluded his activities as NCT. After that, he began his path as a solo artist, and in September he released his solo song “My Friend.” Following his music activities, he continues to interact with fans by sharing his daily life on SNS. • Former NCT Mark visits Japan!
