  • As soon as the pitch goes up a little, his singing becomes really bad.
  • It’s fine, though.
  • Mark is cool. It may not be flashy, but he makes music that moves people’s hearts.
  • I like Mark, but honestly, he really isn’t singing well in this video… He’s definitely better at dancing or rapping.

On the other hand, fans of the idol were happy that the idol was able to express himself this way and are excited for the future, while some international reactions were also mixed.
