이마크랑 텐 계약종료 반응 다를 수밖에 없지
텐 < 그룹 유지하고 멤버들 안 내팽겨치고 팬 나누기 안함 대중 염불도 안함 웨이션 엔시티 다 언급
마크 < 장황하고 미사여구만 많고 실속 없음
소속 유닛 언급 없음 걍 갖다버림

“Of course, there are bound to be different reactions to Mark and Ten’s contract termination.
Ten: keeps the group together, doesn’t abandon the members, doesn’t split the fans, doesn’t mediate the public, and mentions both NCT and WayV.
Mark: Just wordy with a bunch of strewn together language but no substance. Doesn’t mention groups at all and just straight up discards them. Obsesses over ‘fruits of labor’ and splits up using the term ‘markf’ and talks about the public shock and trauma.”
Meanwhile, Mark posted his message on Bubble following the announcement.
