Kapanlagi.com - Surely fans are eagerly awaiting the Disney+ Hotstar documentary series NCT 127 THE LOST BOYS. Fans are invited to delve deeper into the journey of the SM Entertainment debut group in 2016. Having become one of the K-Pop groups with extraordinary international popularity, how did the members struggle to achieve this success?

Taking a sneak peek into the first episode of NCT 127 THE LOST BOYS, we are reminded of how Covid-19 has brought about many changes in the entertainment world, including NCT 127 who had planned many international activities but had to cancel them.

The NCT 127 members revealed how the pandemic period made them worried about many things, from concerns about whether the group would be forgotten by fans to how to perform much better after a year without activities. However, on the other hand, the members also felt that in that moment, they felt the extraordinary love from fans even though they couldn't meet in person.

On this occasion, the NCT 127 members also appreciated the hard work of Mark and Haechan who also have schedules with NCT DREAM.

"Both of them have very busy schedules. I can see that they are trying hard to finish them. But I can also see that they really want to do it. I'm proud of both of them," said Johnny.

NCT 127 will be telling their childhood stories for the first time through the Art Performance presented in this documentary.

It sticks in the minds of the members that Mark has indeed worked hard since his trainee days. Even now, he is considered the most diligent member, always coming to practice even on his days off.

Mark Lee also revealed his childhood life, where he often moved from one place to another, starting from Toronto, then New York, and then living in Vancouver. Ultimately, Mark had to move to Korea after passing the audition.

Here, Mark also tells how his older brother had an extroverted personality and often auditioned for K-Pop. However, when he joined his brother, it was Mark who was accepted during the audition.

Since childhood, moving around and becoming a trainee in Korea, Mark feels unable to explain who he is. Is he Canadian or Korean? This thought also continues as Mark debuts in various units.

But one thing is for sure, Mark believes that he was born to stand on stage!
