Mark Lee, formerly of the boy group NCT, has begun a special journey to find new musical inspiration.

On the 11th, Mark released the first episode of 'Mark Lee & Kids-POP' through his agency Upper Room's official YouTube channel.

'Mark Lee & Kids-POP' is a content piece that follows Mark as he meets children directly, listens to their thoughts and stories, and discovers musical inspiration within them. In the first episode, before the main meeting, Mark reflected on his own childhood and explored the interests and thoughts of today's children.

In the video, Mark stated, "I really loved K-pop when I was young," and shared memories of watching BIGBANG's 'Everyday' music video dozens of times a day. He also mentioned dramas such as 'Boys Over Flowers' and 'Dream High,' recalling, "I've always truly loved Korean culture. Korea was my dream country."

Mark then took on the 'Kids Inquiry Segment,' where he attempted to guess actual answers from elementary school students. While struggling with questions like "What do you like most these days?", "The most used slang," "Your biggest worry," and "The song you want to hear right now," Mark said, "I'm really not confident," yet continued to seriously ponder the issues from the children's perspective.

The actual answers from the children exceeded Mark's expectations. In particular, when asked about their "biggest worries," responses included "exams," "lack of money," and "a girlfriend." When asked what messages they wanted to include in a song for themselves, answers such as "There is no one who truly understands my heart" and "When I am myself, I shine brighter than anyone else" followed, surprising Mark. Especially when his own song '1999' appeared as the answer to "The song you want to hear right now," he exclaimed, "This is amazing," expressing both joy and emotion.

As Mark carefully examined each of the children's honest answers, he said, "This could also become a song title or a single word in lyrics." He added, "If you think about it as inspiration, you can find inspiration in everything." He further described this project as "the beginning of beginnings," expressing anticipation for what stories he will share with children and what musical moments he will discover within them.

Mark released his new song 'My Friend' on the 10th. 'My Friend' has received high interest from music fans both domestically and internationally, starting strong on major domestic music charts immediately after release and climbing into the top ranks of iTunes charts in several countries abroad.
