Recently NCTโs Mark released his single album โChildโ. He wrote the lyrics of the song by himself. Itโs a gloomy type of video song. In this song, Mark lies unconsciously on a yellow sofa in the middle of a seemingly abandoned factory. His songโs lyrics are somewhat like this; โIโm a child/ I canโt be the person you want/ Have a good night/ No need for a lullabyโ.
He also collaborations with other singers such as Young and Free with Xiumin and Exo (2017)
Lemonade Love with Park Jae Jung (2017). In March they released their group album โGlitch Modeโ. Glitch Mode is the second studio album by NCT Dream. Fans like their albums. They said itโs so catchy and groovy.
Jessi also praised Mark on Instagram Live. She said, โI remember him from High School Rapper when he came out. But that dude is a natural talent. He is really goodโ. Fans were impressed with Mark, and many added that he has been named one of the industryโs โGemsโ and recognized for his talent. Many fans tweeted about Markโs praise from Jessi. One said, โEven Jessi admits that Mark can do everything, he has a lot of talent and high self-confidenceโ.
The second said, โHe can sing, he can rap, he can dance. Yeah Say it Louder Queenโ. Others said, โNo but the fact is Mark has been named by people in the industry as The Gem who holds the future of this industry. Sounds heavy but itโs legit. Many agencies want Mark, thereโs a reason why he named Mark and I love NCT but imagine the legit solo era of Mark Lee
Fans are concerned about the actor and hoping for a good recovery. They really want to see Mark again on the stage.
