[Pann] "NCT Mark's schedule that makes you wonder if it's possible to be carried out"

"Starting with the 2023's first schedule..

1. U.S. and South American tour (the 'and more..' here is the South American tour)

2. NCT 127 'Ay-Yo' comeback music show activities (1st comeback [in 2023])

3. NCT DREAM's overseas tour (it ends in May on the picture, but the encore concert announcement came out [after that], so they did an overseas tour until June)

4. Solo track release (he released his own solo song in the middle of the tour)

5. NCT DREAM 'Broken Melodies' music show activities (pre-release track) (2nd comeback)

6. NCT DREAM's 'ISTJ' music show activities (full-length album) (3rd comeback)

7. NCT 127 and NCT DREAM Fanmeetings (he's in two groups, so he participated in both)

8. NCT DREAM 'Yogurt Shake' music show activities (follow-up song) (4th comeback)

9. NCT U 'Baggy Jeans' music show activities (5th comeback)

10. NCT full-team concert (tour in Korea and Japan) ended in September 17th

When (we) thought he would rest a bit after the tour ends...

11. NCT 127 comeback schedule on October 6th (6th comeback schedule)

In 2023 alone, because he's in 3 different teams, he did 3 overseas tours, 5 comebacks and music show activities, and even filmed a lot of contents in between.

Whenever the fans sent messages full of concerns to him, the replies are mostly like this:

"I went to the hospital as soon as I woke up todayㅠ" [5:10 PM] "I will get better soon" [5:10 PM] "I'm sorry for making you worry" [5:10 PM] "Mark Lee who's not sick is here!" [10:49 PM] "Don't mind about anything else, don't worry about anything else, let's just have fun waiting for the days coming ahead of us and be together!!" [10:58 PM]

The schedules in this post are only the ones in 2023, and he's been on this kind of schedule for 8 years. Except for the time that he got Covid-19, he has never been absent in any schedule.

Without including recording and dance practice, if the schedules that can be seen (official schedules) are of this extent, I think the fans would all understand if he unintentionally shows bad attitude or suddenly wants to rest."

Comments:

[+12, -0] "Actually, all of the idol are busy, but I think no one is as busy as him.. so I feel thankful and I appreciate that he always does his best. Even if he suddenly takes a break, I think I would understand. I love you, Mark."

[+9, -0] "He even did (activities with) SuperM too, back then"

[Pann] "They said RIIZE's Eunseok was casted four times by SM"

"RIIZE's Eunseok who received four casting proposals by SM"

Sub: "I entered the company through street casting.." "But at first, when I heard about the casting offer, I wasn't interested" "However, after being casted for four times.." "Eunseok who debuted with RIIZE and met BRIIZE"

"You can get casted four times by a company?"

"He's a typical SM male visual, and since it's regretful that no one talks about it, I gathered all of (his) close-up shots"

"Everyone who saw him in person said that he looks pretty, so I get curious"

"I think he's the type of person who looks better in real life"

"If his style is changed into the one that perfectly suits him, I think he would look even better (x4)"

"This fancam thumbnail looks very gracious too"

"Eunseok who was approved by SM and Anton as RIIZE's visual"

"Song Eunseok, you'll be famous..."

Comments:

[+28, -3] "He's a real SM-type (visual), though.. that unique brown-haired-handsome-guy vibe is really like an SM visual's.. He has the vibe of (NCT's) Jaehyun and Super Junior's Choi Siwon in his prime time too.."

[+17, -0] "I think he looks like a far better version of Block B's Park Kyung, though"

[+16, -0] "I really, fucking, throwing up, crying, head-banging, like Eunseok. I could tell that he's a typical SM visual since the first sight, fuck"

[+16, -0] "Videos (are better) than pictures. Looking at his pictures (makes you think that) he's not that handsome, but when you watch his videos, (you'll realize that) he is. I'm curious about how he looks like in person.

[+16, -1] "That brown hair perm Eunseok had in 'Memories' MV suited him so much.. (it would be nice) if he's styled that way again"

[Pann] "Today's Inkigayo MC, RIIZE's Sungchan"

"His looks came back since his hair grew a bit, it's crazy, he's fucking handsome"

"++) Please vote for RIIZE on Inkigayo.."

Comments:

[+26, -0] "Whether for a male or a female, hairstyle cannot be ignored ㅋㅋ if Sungchan grows his hair a little bit more here, (his looks) will properly come back in a crazy form ㅋㅋ"

[+18, -0] "Fucking handsome"

[+14, -0] "Clap"

[+10, -0] "He's pretty handsome"

[Pann] "Heol, aespa came to BLACKPINK's concert"

"It doesn't seem like they're close (to BLACKPINK members), so it was unexpected.."

Comments:

[+40, -9] "The comments, really ㅋㅋㅋ It's admirable and literally something to be thankful for how the 4th generation's top-tier female idol came (to the concert) as soon as they arrive in Korea after going on a world tour, so the way [redacted] stans are trying to create bad blood between them is disgusting ㅋㅋ aespa, thank you for coming ㅠㅠ"

[+39, -4] "I just hope BLACKPINK would take pictures with aespa after the concert, but anyway aespa's stamina is insane, if someone like me went on tour for more than a month, then went on a 30-hours flight and come back to Korea this morning, I would've fainted...."

[+28, -2] "aespa went on American tour for more than a month, and went to BLACKPINK's concert right after they arrived in Korea.. but then they will also go to an (overseas, Jakarta) SMTOWN concert in a few days,, their stamina is crazy"

[Pann] "What's with Taeyeon's bubble???"

"As soon as the tour (The Odd of Love) ended, her Instagram, bubble, news updates, etc. were all gone..

Even when SM artists moved to Weverse a few days ago and made greeting videos, there's no one besides Yuri and Hyoyeon (in Girls' Generation's greeting video).

Taeyeon has not sent any bubble message in a month ;;;;"

Comments:

[+4, -0] "Originally, when Taeyeon's about to make a comeback, she'll suddenly go quiet for about.. 3 weeks? So everyone's anticipating a comeback (right now). Probably she's just busy. The pattern has been exactly the same for the last few years, so no need to worry."

[+0, -0] "I followed her on Instagram, so I was worried that something happened since she didn't come (to update) these days ㅠㅠ Please just don't be sick"

[+0, -0] "Muggles, please stay quiet~"

Comments:

[+14, -0] "It turns out that there's a reason SM holds on his trousers for four times (idiom; be 'servile' or 'obsequious')"

[+14, -0] "He really looks just as he is now, even his expression ㅋㅋㅋ It's extremely attractive"

[+11, -0] "Heol, it's the exact same ㅋㅋ"

[+9, -0] "I wonder how is it to live life being so damn handsome since birth"

[Pann] "RIIZE's Wonbin has the fanciest looks, and.."

"His fan-service is so lovely ㅋㅋ"

Comments:

[+20, -1] "The way he looks like he would never do those kind of things and proceeds to affectionately do all that in front of his fans is fucking awesome,,"

[+14, -1] "Whatever is it, he does it diligently.."

[+13, -1] "No, but he really is handsome"

[+11, -1] "No, he's fucking handsome"

[+11, -1] "His text speech is also cute"
