I usually don't post here much. But today, the news was too sad to not do it. At first I contemplated writing when ZB1 had to split up into 5 members and YH's new group AND2BLE. But then I convinced myself that as hurtful it is, maybe it is for the best. So, when the new groups debut/have a comeback, I'll write a proper post.
But today, Mark leaving NCT, Dream and 127 all of it, feels devastating. And for some reason, unconsciously, I felt it coming since seeing how Jisung, Haechan and Renjun broke down at the TDS 4 encore. The only times members bawled out like that, (all of them even Jeno, Chenle and Jaemin were sad), was on the NCT Dream Show and the first TDS without Mark. With their 10th anniversary approaching of course we expected SM Entertainment to pull something. It feels heartbreaking to hear Mark's decision, but I also know it was needed for him, his health, and his career as an artist. Mark has been working hard to the point of overwork since trainee days to now. His music, vision and health would not have got the justice if he had still stayed with SM. I'm not sure how much of this decision was forced albeit due to something SM trying to pull something or was brought up first by Mark. Because knowing Mark and how much he loves the members, he would have wanted to wait till the 10th anniversary. And hence, I want to be there for fellow Czennies and the members and Mark because this is really a rough time. If we thought 2018 was heartbreaking, 2026 feels even worse knowing that we won't see Mark with NCT again, at least for a long time. So, I'm writing this with the hopes and to communicate that it is okay to feel sad but let's also stay strong and support each other. As fans who love their music and bond, let's honour it and be as supportive to each and every one of them. Mark is still our bookmark, and we'll still support him till the end. It will always be 7Dream and 127's maknae line: Mark and Haechan. Sending lots of love and support.

I know technically his contract expired in April, what I meant was if there was a way for him to celebrate the 10th anniversary but whatever SM was suggesting did not sit right with him (rightfully so) he realised that it would be no good for him to stay or find an alternate way. Of course, practically thinking, I am glad he is now free of SM and could focus on himself, his health, and the way he wants to do music or even anything else.
