Artist Mark (Mark Lee) is set to make his solo comeback with the new song 'My Friend'.

On the 2nd, Upper Room announced that "Mark will release his new song 'My Friend' on the 10th." On that day, Mark launched the official countdown for his full-scale comeback by unveiling the music video teaser for 'My Friend' through Upper Room's official YouTube channel in the afternoon.

The released teaser immediately captures attention with its cinematic visuals that traverse both urban and natural landscapes. Starting with a shot of Mark gazing at the city through a wide window, the scene unfolds sensationally across diverse settings including flower fields, forests, and plains bathed in sunset hues.

Mark's image facing nature against a backdrop of sunlight and grasslands embodies the 'Back to Basic' sentiment, stripping away artifice to focus on genuine emotion. Amidst hazy scenes of youth, he draws out dreams and energy moving steadily toward his future, adding a warm lingering feeling with Mark's signature wholesome mood.

The gentle emotional tone of youth gradually expands into more intense energy as the video progresses. In the latter half, after showing Mark running freely without his outerwear, a powerful silhouette appears standing before raging flames, raising curiosity about the narrative and message contained in the new song.

Even before his official comeback, Mark has already demonstrated his unique global fandom strength by sparking explosive fan participation. Following the recent launch of the global fan communication platform Laylo, an impressive 42,392 fans directly sent DMs to Mark and completed email subscriptions within just one hour.

This goes beyond simple page visits or content views, highlighting active engagement where fans personally send messages and subscribe. The mere fact that tens of thousands of fans mobilized shortly after the launch underscores the high level of global fan interest in Mark's comeback and their solid fandom power.

During this comeback process, Mark is actively showcasing new promotional methods to connect directly with fans. After previously opening 'MARK's Voice Mailbox' where fans could leave personal messages in their own voices, he has further expanded his connection points with fans by utilizing Laylo as well.

As Mark continues building special connections with fans ahead of the music release, attention is focused on what kind of music and story he will share through 'My Friend'.

Meanwhile, Mark's new song 'My Friend' will be released at 1 p.m. on the 10th via various domestic and international music platforms.
