While some fans loved the jackets, others hit back at the actions and aimed fury at SM Entertainment, saying they were being bitter for doing this after Mark left, especially combined with the members going to Bali, which the idol had said he wanted to go to.
the concept of revealing cb details on airport wearing jerseys…. signifying numbers… going to bali right after his departure… sure it’s just coincidence….

markfs have every right to be mad. excluding him while wearing those jackets and suddenly going to bali just makes the bitterness obvious. mark may not be in nct anymore but that doesn’t mean they can erase the legacy he built over the past 10 years bruh

out of all the plans, places, and possibilities, choosing bali as the group’s first announced schedule after he left is so cruel…. he spent years talking about wanting to go to there tho….

Many fans have defended the jacket, saying it isn’t meant to shade Mark and was just a gesture as the group reunited following Jaehyun‘s return from the military.
