Today, NCT‘S Sign made his solo return with the new single, “Fraktsiya”, featuring Lee Young Ji.
Mark stunned listeners with his lyrics, calling out his agency directly, SM Entertainmentfor his booked times without “rest time”. Mark is known as one of the busiest K-Pop idols, having debuted in NCT 127, NCT U, NCT DREAM and SuperM.
Yes, how many programs in a day? (Darling, listen)
My airline miles throw the honeymoon out of space (I said listen)
SM has to wait (SM, listen)
The phone is working, photo shoot with young Ji
I said, wait
Name someone who can juggle three teams
Come again with the best solo album
At the same time, no rest time without— Mark, “Fraktsiya” via Genius
MARK took advantage of his crazy schedule to turn it into these crazy LYRICS🔥

NCTzens suspect that the content of Mark’s track is the reason why SM Entertainment provided him with little to no promotion.

SM would say “ok, I’ll leave this slide, I’ll approve it but you won’t get promotions” and Mark Lee DGAF said “challenge accepted” #MARK_Fraktsiya

NCTzens praised Mark for courageously calling out SM Entertainment in a song released by the agency. Fans believe that the agency agrees, as SM Entertainment needs Mark more than he needs the agency, as is evident from his “crazy schedule.”
calling SM pretty much the whole song, I love it😭 and the irony of him having to film it between tours and promotions for nct’s dream comeback is crazy pic.twitter.com/D8bf7TJ5B0

no I don’t think anyone understands how crazy it is to VERY brazenly call out your label WITH THEIR APPROVAL lmfao they said do whatever you have to do as long as you renew your contract

blatantly dissembling SM and they have no choice but to post it and give Mark what he wants because they too know they hit the jackpot with this guy pic.twitter.com/6g4AhdPpZ9
