thank you mark for giving us the best performance

when taeyong said “let’s go asia’s best rapper” before mark’s verse🥺🥺🥺

260404 #HAECHAN #해찬 instagram live 🐻: 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.

i hope they both can still be each other’s support and strength during tough times even if they’re not on the same path and doing everything together like they used to. my mahaeeeeee

my mahae🫶 haechan’s live and words truly brought a lot of comfort to me🥺 their relationship and friendship is so unique and i can’t imagine them apart but im so so looking forward to both of their futures and all they will achieve.

i understand everyone is still trying to process this, accept his decision and grieve this chapter. please take your time and remember your memories with mark fondly♥️ be kind to yourself, to your friends and most of all to mark.

i hope in the future, mark won’t be treated as a taboo and if he naturally comes up, they can mention him and talk about him♥️

seeing everyone talk so openly about mark’s decision and how they support him makes me so happy☹️ even if they didn’t understand him 100%, they trust him enough to support his decision and know he didn’t make it lightly

🐻: “i don’t really have the place to tell you all, ‘please support him’ or ‘please trust him.’ honestly, i don’t feel like i should say that. that’s truly your choice. but for me… since he’s making a decision that i might never be able to make in my lifetime, i think it’s really admirable, and at the same time, i worry about him too. still, i just hope that his choice turns out really, really well, that everything he wants comes true. and that the people who believed in that choice, including me, can also be happy. i think many czennies are still in the process of letting go… or trying to accept it. It took me a long time too. so rather than saying too much, i think it might be better for us to just let time pass.”

@chuucoball hi friend, this tweet came across my tl and ofc i had to provide proof that you are correct indeed

Does anyone have Any proof of the time drunk mark said his head felt like 15kg and 127 got a scale to confirm if his head actually weighs that much

260405 haechan IG live 🐻‍ Honestly, Mark hyung was more of a brother to me than anyone else. Having spent 13 years together, I relied on him so much. I think that’s why many of you were even more worried, knowing the bond we shared. Thank you so deeply for that concern. As soon as the article came out, I sent him a long text. I told him, 'Everything you’ve done for NCT will pave the way for our future. And in return, your time with us will help you move forward too. So, give it your all and don't regret your choice.' That’s what I wanted to tell him.

follow your dreams, mark and do all that you wish🤍

just remembered this🥺

i hope you’re always this happy♥️

@mrkspace ANNNAAAA <3 i am, i hope you are too

@MARKClTY alex i hope you’re doing well ♥️

seeing so many markfs on my tl reminds me that so many of us met and became friends because of our love for mark🥺 even after all these years, i’m still close with many of my mark oomfs, some who aren’t even active on twitter anymore and

@80214s 🥺💔 we would’ve never met if it wasn’t for mark

the best artist of my lifetime! how lucky was i to cross paths with you and experience your artistry♥️ thank you nct’s mark, and looking forward to whatever mark lee does next!

shoutout to all my fellow markfs especially @moloism @heyhaechan @/markdi0r (i miss you allie bae) @mvrkaces @MARKMALlK @joyfularchives who are some of my dearest friends even to this day♥️

once again i’m grateful for mark for bringing me some of the greatest friends and memories of my life! mark, you truly have the greatest people supporting you

260404 | CHENLE BBL UPDATE chenle said he was just as sad, but seeing how sad and shaken the fans were made his heart hurt even more. he said since the other members already explained the situation, he doesn’t think there’s a need to explain it again. he said what he really wanted to say is something he also said in their group chat earlier, that mark has worked so hard as a great leader for 10 years, and he’s someone they’re nothing but grateful for. but going forward, as 6dream, they’ll each work even harder to make nct dream even better. and what he wants to tell fans is that dream will keep promoting, they already have a comeback schedule planned, and they’ll return with their best. he said they’ll show everyone that dream is still here and alive 🥺 #천러 #チョンロ #钟辰乐 #辰乐 #CHENLE
