On June 27, Mark attended an event for SISOD Rice Milk in Thailand. The event was previously scheduled before the idol’s departure, as NCT DREAM are official ambassadors for the brand, and was held as a solo event instead.
The idol appeared at the event wearing a white dress shirt, a blue vest, and blue dress slacks.

His appearance was met with some criticism due to comparisons to his former styling while in NCT DREAM. Some described it as “Mormon-like,” referring to the modest and plain way members of the Mormon Church (which is also criticized for a variety of reasons) dress.
whoever said he’s looking more and more mormon lately was spot on omg https://t.co/7YE1wrEacw

However, this was attributed to the fact that Thailand is currently in mourning and notice was given to attendees regarding dress code.
Criticism of Mark’s appearance have continued, however, discussing his visuals as aged.

- As someone who doesn’t really know who he is or how old he is, he just looks like a well-maintained guy in his 40s to early 50s..!
- He looks like Thomas The Tank Engine.
- Why do male idols get uglier when they start promoting solo…?
On the other hand, many fans praised the idols appearance, calling him handsome.
OMG!! Mark is so handsome!😭💙#SISODRICEMILKSPECIALEVENTWITHMARKLEE #MARKLEEpic.twitter.com/k7QEHHJBsO
