mark had solo songs before this that was released under SM station (which basically allows artists under the company to do their own projects and showcase their talents, this is also where collab often happens). he had 2 songs released under SM station: child & golden hour. tho none of these 2 songs count as his solo debut since it was released under SM station, his official solo debut song is called 200. nct also has their own specific station/lab which will be explained in the guide that you're reacting to soon! btw mark is actually pretty humble, this was the first time he talked his shit and flexed his talent (as he should!)
Its not Mark's first solo song. NCT has this thing called NCT LABS which is a project where nct members can release there own sinhle thing. Like a single song, choreography to a song, video directry etc. Basically to show there owm creativity. You'll learn more about it in the guide. So Mark NCT LAB songs are Child, 200 and Golden Hour. His songs are known for having somekind of metaphoric background meaning pertaining to himself too. Fraktsiya for example is referring to his job as an idol and how hard working he is despite all the haters. Child is about his struggle when he started out as an idol. 200 is about how people reference him to spiderman and Golden Hour is about his relationship with fried eggs Yes this is a pre-debut single to his album that's coming out early next year.
The music style is 808 beat + drum'n'bass + UK drill, all under a thick neo sauce. This song is about Mark being deployed in 2 fields: kpop and hip hop, and nailing both. There's always been a wide spread prejudice against kpop rappers in the khiphop world and Mark experienced it firsthand during his days in Highschool Rapper, so his inspiration for the song probably stemmed from all the way back then
Mark mentioned in an interview(?) recently that the genre is hip hop with 808 bass. This collab is something I’ve been waiting for and it’s their best yet. ❤ His album was originally set for release in Feb next year but got pushed to April due to his busy schedule. They just wrapped up the NCT Dream tour, performed (and are still performing, not sure) at Jingle Ball, will perform at year-end shows, have an NCT 127 concert January of next year and he revealed they’re also preparing for NCT Dream’s new album, right after just releasing one. 🥲😅🤣 So, who’s the hypest boy juggling three teams?😂 Just Mark "Incredible" Lee.
You gotta check out Mark's other solo songs in order to understand the range! The other three solo songs are all very different from this and each other (he has worked with the same producer for all 4, dress. dress also worked on a song with Mark back when he was on High School Rapper. Young Ji is also a HSR alum (Mark was in season 1, Young Ji was in Season 3) Some thought that Mark would start with a pure rap song like this but he started with Child which is toootally different. He and YoungJi did a live performance of this for the KBS Song Festival this weekend and it was stunning! They play off each other beautifully. Mark is making layers and layers of references (as he usually does in his writing). Did you notice the Matrix references in beginning? Add that to the fact that he in in NEO Culture Technology. He was sitting on a wooden statue of a horse in the photo shoot which is a recreation of the Polo logo. He mentions wearing "all polo" in the lyrics which is a reference to the fact that he is an official spokesperson for the brand. Yet another thing that keeps him very busy (as he raps about "how many schedules in day") I think the "SM gotta wait" line is in reference to his solo album. It was originally scheduled to come out in Feb 2025 but he pushed it back to April saying that he needed more time to get it the way he wants it (Mark is known to be a bit of a perfectionist). So SM is gonna have to wait to get their hands on it maybe? It is well known how Mark (and Haechan for that matter) have an extra crazy schedule due to being in two very busy teams (add on NCT U every year or two and also SuperM for Mark for a period) And the fandom often jokes he is going to go bald from how many times he has changed his hair colour (to go with so many different comebacks) which he also uses in the lyrics. The layers of meaning and all the rhyme patterns are truly impressive and I expect nothing less from him.
omg thank you for reacting!! mark already has other solos (which i recommend A LOT because they all show different sides of him) and he's dropping his first solo album on april 2025

Mark spoke facts, I hope to see you react to the last unit of nct, nct wish !!

You should react to a golden hour by Mark
Genre is NEO💚 i love it💚💚💚
NCT Mark - GOLDEN HOUR MV
They’re spies in the sense that they are both apart of two works (kpop and khiphop)
Please react to Child, Golden Hour, and 200 by MARK. his official solo debut (album) will be on April next year
Me: What is Fraktsiya?
Mark: You don't know this 😂 8:29
Shading SM as a SM artist let him cook bro
love this collab
6:10 '병신같이' (byeongsin) It would be similar to 'idiot' in english
🥺❤️🔥
thanks)
"Did he just invent a new genre?" Love this song but no, not really
