Mark to drop 1st solo project after leaving NCT

Mark, formerly a member of K-pop boy group NCT, is set to release his first solo single, titled "My Friend," on September 10, marking his first new release in 17 months and his first public appearance as a solo act since departing NCT 127 and NCT Dream in April. The track is being released under his new agency, Upper Room, which he founded in April 2023 after choosing not to renew his exclusive contract with SM Entertainment.

Mark, who has been a prominent member of NCT since debuting in 2016, currently serves as a co-chief executive of Upper Room, a one-person agency he describes as a creative company built with long-time collaborators he trusts.
