Mark recently broke his silence to send fans messages on his subscription platform. He penned a careful, but short message to fans about his departure.
NCT’s Mark Sends First Message To Fans Following Departure From Group
Hi. I really wanted to speak to you all directly first, but it wasn’t something I could handle solely on my own feelings. You must’ve been really surprised, right? Your weekend must’ve been so hectic and tough. It’s Monday again. You guys need strength…I will come back soon. I am sorry and grateful. Let’s get through Monday together.
— Mark
Many fans had been waiting for him to speak up ever since the announcement. Since he made it public that he would be leaving NCT and SM Entertainment, fans have been devastated. The other members of NCT Dream have spoken up one by one, comforting fans.
It seems like some feel that Mark’s message pales in comparison, with netizens accusing him of insincerity.

The other 6 members have been using their ownselves as shields, comforting the fans, telling fans not to misunderstand Mark. They were all more proactive than Mark himself. And it just makes me go, ‘well, okay then,’ seeing how this is all he said in his Bubble today.

Others wondered why it was so short.

I can’t believe that his Bubble message has less content than the announcement for its termination.

Feels like me, who cried for three days while listening to NCT Dream songs, has just become an idiot. What a f*cker.
