With Mark withdrawing from the group NCT, member Taeyong delivered a meaningful message.
Taeyong posted several pictures on his Instagram early on the 4th, along with a brief message, "Adult."
This includes Park San-ho's book "Adult Sentences." In particular, Taeyong said, "Let's practice rejection," and "When I came to my senses, I became an icon of rejection among the people around me." Until that happened, he drew attention by sharing contents such as "I learned to say No for more money," "Starting over at a broken place," and "Losing your way is part of the important process of becoming an adult."
This is the first SNS post left by Taeyong after the news of Mark's withdrawal from NCT on the 3rd, and this is why it was interpreted significantly.
Mark withdrew from all teams, including NCT, NCT 127, and NCT DREAM (Dream), as well as the end of his exclusive contract with his agency SM Entertainment.
Meanwhile, Taeyong was discharged from the Navy on December 14 last year.
