127 family photos im gonna keep it FOREVER.

this will be my most favorite photo of nct 127 forever

I waited so long to see nct dream complete, but somehow every TDS concert I experienced, one member was always missing. Maybe I was meant to love them like that learning early that things don’t always stay whole.

yung tawang tawa lang ako dito ang saya saya noon….

i’m still in 2020.....

[🐹🫧] 260403 #JISUNG #지성 #박지성 “It's a night where I'm worried about Czennies. Seeing you in pain makes me feel really heavy. Have you eaten 😌 Originally, I wanted to go live today and talk with Czennies a bit, but I was worried that if I spoke during a sensitive and difficult time like this, what I wanted to say might get distorted. So I decided to write instead. These days, I've been filming a drama and preparing this and that. I'm eating properly in between, so please don't skip your meals either. Last week, we had our final concert as seven members. To be honest, I was secretly shedding tears ever since we were practicing in the practice room. But being in front of Czennies made me get even more immersed in the moment. When we sang My Youth, so many memories came rushing back. I think the reason our lyrics feel special is because they're not only words for Czennies, but also words for Dream, and even for myself. Especially during the concert, our songs sounded completely different than usual. Even when it wasn't my part, I sang along continuously, cherishing every single second. I tried my best to engrave every moment into my memory—the lights, the stage setups, Czennies, and my members. I believe everyone has their own precious life, and ultimately, choosing their path and walking it is up to each person. It's the same for me. I think anyone who has a dream encounters moments where they have to walk quietly toward the direction they believe in. At first, I was upset, but knowing that person, knowing all the hard work he put in, even though I couldn't express it much, I want to cheer on the path of the hyung I truly loved, from afar. Nothing lasts forever, but just as the wish for something to be eternal is love, I think the feeling of not wanting to let go, yet wanting to let them go, is also love. Right now, the people who are having the hardest time are probably Czennies. I'm not writing this expecting you to feel exactly the same way I do. I just wrote this thinking about what might help you feel even a little bit better. I know so well that the love you give is extraordinary and not something to be taken for granted, which makes me worry even more 😭 I hope you always stay healthy and find happiness often. I am letting go of one of the most beloved moments in my life. I take pride in having spent ten years that were more special and precious than anyone else's. But even this is not the end, it's just a process. There will be even cooler results later. It might be hard right now, but once things get better, please look back on these days little by little as memories. And please look forward to all the things the members and I still haven't shown you yet. There is so much more to come. Please wait just a little bit longer for us. I'm sorry for hurting you deeply. Czennies, have peaceful dreams tonight.”

❤️‍🩹

woahhh they might be the first group dropping supportive messages openly for a member leaving…it’s like showing a proper closure for themselves and fans

260403 #제노 #JENO weverse update 💬 “hello, czennies first of all, i want to say i’m sorry to czennies who must be feeling really shaken and confused right now. this is also something we’re experiencing for the first time, so i think it was difficult for us to figure out what the right thing to do was. we had many thoughts and a lot of conversations, but i’m also really regretful and sorry that we couldn’t fully resolve this situation well in the end. we’ve been able to carry out many activities as 7dream and received so much love from czennies, and i’m truly grateful for that and i think i will continue to be grateful in the future. because of you all, dream has always been able to stay as dream. so what i really want to say to czennies is that, of course, it’s natural to feel sad right now, but this is also part of our story. i hope you’ll continue to watch over dream as we move forward and show you another side of ourselves. let’s be a little sad for now, and then go back to making happy memories together. i always said that i wanted us to be happy together, and i’m sorry i couldn’t fully make that happen. thank you for loving us dreamies, even when we are still immature. i’m not even sure if i’m expressing this properly right now, and it might sound a bit stiff, but i hope you can feel that this is my true sincerity. thank you for reading my long message until the end.” 😭😭😭🫂

‘yung pag-alis ni mark lee sa nct parang mutual breakup lang… walang cheating, walang away. just “we had a good run” kaya mas masakit like paano ka mag-move on kung wala ka namang pwedeng i-villainize 😭

260403 🐻 bubble updae “Usually, I used to leave long messages after a tour ended. Because I wanted to reflect on what I learned from this tour and express my gratitude... Um... this time, I couldn't do that because I felt so sorry to you all. There was definitely a promise I made, and above all, I couldn't say anything first, so I felt so, so sorry. We could have actually talked a lot and sorted out our feelings sufficiently, but since you all had to accept it without doing so, I felt so sorry about that that I didn't know what to say. So, I thought a lot for a little less than a week, and first of all, I am so, so sorry to everyone who loved 127 and Dream. And I sincerely thank you for all the love you showed me. Of course, this isn't the end for 127 or Dream, but I wanted to move on by thanking you once again for the love we received. And I sincerely hope you don't feel too sad. I believe the memories I, NCT, and Czennies shared together will surely remain in your hearts and be cherished for a long time. And above all, since there are so many activities to come, I hope you will look upon them with a positive heart...!! I will do my best in my place so that we can be even happier, just as much as the tears I shed and the tears you all shed. I once said that I think the feeling of love is simply wishing the other person a good night's sleep. Tonight, I hope the night doesn't feel too long for me, our members, the Czennies, and Mark hyung...!! I don't know if this humble writing will bring you any comfort, but I hope my sincerity reaches you...!!” HAECHAN🥹☹️😢😭

i was gonna gatekeep this but i think everyone needs to see mark’s final verse in dear dream 😞💚

FROM MARK LEE 💌 #MARK #마크 “hello, this is mark. hi, czennies… i debuted with nct u on april 9, 2016, and now that it’s april 2026, ten whole years have already passed. during those ten years, so many things happened, we performed on so many stages, and most of all, i think we made countless memories together. i know there are czennies who have supported me since the sm rookies days, so if i include that time, it’s actually been over ten years. how have the past 10+ years been for you, czennies…? for me, i think i’ve truly, truly been nothing but happy. now that ten years have passed, and since you’ve made me happy every single day without fail throughout that long time, i wanted to personally write and share with you my new decision and the beginning of a new chapter. i know this may feel very sudden to everyone… but actually, since my trainee days maybe even before that i’ve always had a dream in my heart. i wanted to walk around busking on the streets with just an acoustic guitar, and I loved writing in english so much that I even dreamed of becoming a writer. i was too young to fully understand and clearly picture that dream back then, but because i loved music and performing, i auditioned in canada 14 years ago, and started my musical path at sm, beginning with nct. because my beginning was with sm and nct, i was able to get to know myself more and find the best version of myself. i’m truly just filled with gratitude. through nct, it feels like i’ve experienced the sky, the land, the sea, and the mountains at their fullest. after spending ten years seeing and experiencing the world in the best way, and going on such an incredible journey, i naturally began to think about what the greatest dream i could have is what the greatest purpose and calling i could have as a person named mark. as my 10-year contract comes to an end, i awakened all the senses i had kept inside me and thought deeply for a long time. eventually, i became curious about what the complete and true form of that dream really looks like, and i felt a strong desire to fully dive into it. what will my music be? what kind of fruit will i bear? and how can i bring that into the world… i truly want to find those answers and achieve them. i talked a lot with each of the members, and it honestly brings me to tears just thinking about it every single one of them told me they support me. i feel endlessly sorry, but more than anything, deeply grateful. to the older members who see me as their cute younger brother, and to the younger ones who see me as a leader, i want to say thank you again, so, so much. to all the members who listened closely to my concerns, understood my heart, thought about me, shared their opinions, and had such meaningful conversations with me, i’m truly thankful and i love you all. we’ve been on the same ship for over ten years and had an incredible journey together. i’ve always loved going underwater, and now that i’m saying i want to swim on my own, the members are supporting even my deep dive with love. i will continue to support and love them as well. since i was selected through a global audition in 2012, i want to sincerely thank all the teachers from the training team, the company staff, managers, directors, executives, and every department, everyone who has raised me to who I am today. my beginning was sm, nct, and czennies. no matter what kind of music i create moving forward, i will never forget where i started. but… no matter how big of a decision i’ve made, i fully understand that it doesn’t ease everyone’s worries, concerns, or pain just because i see this as a personal challenge. by announcing this big decision for a new chapter in my life, i know that for czennies who have loved me as “NCT’s Mark,” for markfs, and for the public, this change can feel like a huge shock and even a source of hurt. i also know that this handwritten letter alone cannot soften all of that.”
