NCT’s Doyoung Directly Addresses Rumors Of Discord Following Mark’s Departure
NCT member Doyoung, currently serving in the military, directly shared his feelings about fellow member Mark’s departure.
On the 3rd, Doyoung opened up on his social media account, saying, “I felt that saying nothing and just waiting for things to pass isn’t who I am, nor is it fitting for NCT 127, so I will express my feelings in my own words.”
He expressed his thoughts about Mark, who left SM Entertainment and NCT: “He was a friend I loved more than anyone, and still love unconditionally, so we talked and listened to each other for a long time. Although there were many stories and feelings shared along the way, I believe it’s better to express the feelings of ‘us’ aligned with the current situation, rather than pulling out everything from the past.”
After deciding to understand Mark’s decision and support him, Doyoung added, “I cannot speak for Mark’s feelings, but I would be truly grateful if you could listen to Mark’s long-held sincerity and worries without prejudice.”

Doyoung vowed, “Going forward, NCT 127 will not be NCT 127 without someone; as promised with our fans, ‘NCTzens,’ we will remain a team that is proud, confident, and never mediocre on stage, no matter the form we take.”
He strongly emphasized, “There is one thing I want to say firmly: If suspicion and speculation arise between Mark and the members, it would bring unbearable sadness and injustice.”
He also pleaded, “Please, please help us preserve the unique beauty we have built with our fans over more than 10 years.”
Finally, Doyoung promised the fans, “I believe we cannot simply suppress the inevitable feelings of loss and sadness, but I will work hard to bring you happiness that is even greater than that ahead.”
