NCT Mark’s Honest Relationship Confession Sparks Hot Reactions
Besides being one of the most utilized idols in SM Entertainment, with his talent and skills, NCT‘s Mark has only grown in popularity since his debut. Even non-fans favor the idol, attributed to his charming “boy next door” vibe and sweet attitude.
However, many were shocked by the idols’ unexpected relationship confession during a variety show!
While appearing on a YouTube program, the topic of crushes and romance came up. The host asked Mark if he had had any crushes when he was younger, and the idol confirmed he had.
Host: You’ve never had a crush on anyone, have you?
Mark: Yes, I have!
Host: Like, when you were young?
Mark: Yeah.
The host then asked about when he was older, assuming there was no way he would have one-sided crushes now. Mark answers honestly, admitting that it did happen after he got older, presumably when he became an adult.
Host: Okay, but once you got older, never. Right? Because there is no way you liked someone and it was one-sided!
Mark: No, no. [It has happened] even after I got older.
Mark’s confession quickly went viral, with fans reacting to the newly revealed information. While some expressed some joking reactions to the new information, others had more serious reactions, seeming not to like his discussion of his love life, even without another person involved.
너무불미스러워. 나 방금까지 재민이 라이브 보면서 실실 쪼개고 있었는데 트윗 내리다가 스포당함과 동시에 기분 개잡침. 그렇게 솔직할 필요는 없잖아. 죽어도 거짓말은 못하는 이마크때문에 지금 휀걸들만 존나 죽어나는거야 나처럼 나 지금 마음이 너무 아파서 내가 이때까지 먹었던 유사 부정당함 https://t.co/jlqPGMKOSH

- “This is just so unpleasant. I was literally just watching Jaemin’s live, smiling like an idiot, and then while scrolling through Twitter I got spoiled and my mood instantly went to sh*t. There’s no need to be that honest. Because of Lee Mark, who apparently can’t lie to save his life, the fangirls are the ones suffering the most right now — like me. My heart hurts so much right now, it feels like all the parasocial feelings I’ve had until now have been denied.”
- “You should edit things like this — I’m human too, you know.”
- “Seriously… why are you doing this to us… please, stop, enough.”
Others were surprised by these reactions, remarking that it was normal for a man his age to experienced love in some capacity.
