One by one, they are leaving SM Entertainment (hereinafter referred to as SM).

Mark and Ten, who can be called key members of the boy group NCT, said goodbye to SM one after another at three-day intervals.

On the 3rd, SM said, "We discussed in-depth with Mark about the direction of future activities for a long time, and after sufficient dialogue with each other, we agreed to conclude the exclusive contract on April 8." Mark will end all NCT activities, including NCT 127 and NCT DREAM.

Since his debut as NCT in 2016, Mark has been busy for about 10 years as a solo artist as well as a group. In the future, NCT 127 will continue its activities with seven members, Johnny, Taeyong, Utah, Doyoung, Jaehyun, Jungwoo, and Haechan, while NCT DREAM will continue with six members, Renjun, Jeno, Haechan, Jaemin, Chenle, and Ji Sung.

Later, Mark released a handwritten letter on his personal SNS, saying, "What has NCTzen (fandom name) been like in the past 10 years? I think I was only really happy. "After 10 years, I want to handwrite and deliver my new decision and new chapter to NCTzen, who made me happy for a long time," he said. "I actually had a dream that I've always lived with since I was a trainee and maybe even before that. I used to go around busking on the street with an acoustic guitar, and I liked writing in English so much that I wanted to be a writer."

I also thanked NCT members. Mark said, "I had a lot of conversations with the members about this decision, and every single one of them cheered me on. I am so grateful that I can cry just thinking about it, and I feel sorry for the rest of my life. "I'm so grateful to the members who were on the same boat and were with me on the best voyage, and I love you," he said.

Not only NCT, but also Ten, who was a member of WayV and SuperM, will part ways with SM. On the 6th, SM announced that just like Mark, Ten will complete his exclusive contract on the 8th.

On this day, SM said, "I would like to express my gratitude to Ten for showing outstanding capabilities as a solo artist as well as as a group after his debut, and I will sincerely support Ten for his new start."

Fortunately, only SM will leave, and the group will continue its activities. SM said, "We will coordinate so that Ten can participate in WayV and NCT group activities in the future."

On the same day, Ten also shared his feelings about leaving SM on his personal SNS. He said, "In the future, I will continue my time with you as Ten of NCT and WayV. At the same time, I'm trying to start a new challenge as a soloist. "Since my debut with NCT U in 2016, the time I've been able to meet you as NCT and WayV is full of precious and happy memories in my life," he said.

Ten then thanked SM, saying, "There were many unfamiliar and afraid moments when I left Thailand at a young age and came to Korea, but all SM staff took care of me sincerely and were always on my side."

Although the choice was not easy, Ten, who said he would do his best to take responsibility so that he would not regret it, confessed, "I am truly grateful to the members who have always supported me to dream bigger, and I am deeply grateful to all SM who have trusted and been with me so far."
