@_rosescar couldn’t have said it better tbh, maybe mark did love being an idol at some point, but as a worker, he got too burnt out till he’s questioning his purpose, and that’s never where you wanna be:(

couldnt agree more with this phrase “as a a fan im sad that mark leaving nct, but as a worker i’m happy for him” adulting phase makes me realize about this.. maybe thats why i can also relate with what jaemin said that this is just a beginning for mark lee 🥹♥️

i should’ve had dropped this fangirl shit after one direction it’s all my fault

i hate myself💔💔💔💔💔💔💔

did not realise the extent to which we did not, in fact, get it

@yaoineo do you want to mutually sign up for therapy??

I genuinely don’t understand why people are blaming JAEMIN. On March 29, many fans flew to Korea from overseas for the concert. People were crying intensely, and some fans in the audience even fainted and had to be taken away by ambulance. KSPO has a very close distance between the stage and the audience, so he clearly saw how upset everyone was. That’s why he went live—to comfort fans and help them feel a little better. He has never promised anything during his livestreams. So let me ask you this: why do you think JAEMIN is in a position to tell you whether Mark’s contract is still valid? You’re not blaming Mark for not telling you about his contract status. Instead, you’re blaming JAEMIN, who simply stepped up because he was worried about fans getting home safely. You really only go after those who are kind to you, and ignore everything else. It’s easy to blame someone who treats you well, isn’t it?

tldr: im sad but its not like anger sadness with some other groups it’s the sadness of growing up and texting someone you love less and less and wondering when your paths diverted but knowing that theyre still walking with you and you will meet at random crossroads

mark looked like this when he got casted for NCT and he flew from vancouver canada to south korea to start a new life btw

Whenever you feel bad he left nct, remember that video

If it’s any consolation to anyone, notice how I said “greatest” but not the LAST act of love :”) because though this might be the hardest way to show Mark we love him, that love isn’t going away any time soon. You can still love and support him, he’s still the mark lee we love🥹

@LESBlANHAECHAN no fr tho… i at least gave mark another 5 years but before him there was def gonna be other people

i lowkey had a list of members i thought wouldn’t renew and mark wasn’t even on the list

@LESBlANHAECHAN i feel like that was their selling point, and something they themselves believed in too, because it’s so rare when you find a band of brothers you can grow up with and click together so well… maybe over time that started to become quite hard for them too😔

is it delusional that i kinda thought nct would go on forever

#MARK has participated in approximately 41M physical album sales across all units. ​He is arguably the highest-selling participating artist in SM history, a testament to 10 years of unmatched work ethic and hard work. It is a huge mark that will always be spoken about.

🐻 “just try to think about it more lightly. being an idol is a job that definitely has its ‘highlight’ period, and what comes after that is our biggest challenge. but if you start thinking that the busyness of that highlight period will last forever, it actually becomes really hard. if you’re feeling really tired and stressed, it’s okay to complain. go somewhere else and just say, ‘ah, this is so hard… i’m exhausted.’ but the moment the camera turns on, you have to be cool. you have to be professional. honestly… is there any job as amazing as this? a job where you can capture your youth in such a beautiful, shining way. just thinking about that alone makes you able to stand up again, even when it’s hard. to be honest… is there really any other job that lets your teens to 20s shine like this? it even becomes the reason you wake up in the morning.”

oomf who hasn’t kept up with dream in years said this and i genuinely can’t breatheeee 😭😭😭😭
