Former NCT member Mark recently shared several photographs showing him enjoying a relaxed day with a skateboard. Alongside the images, he posted a message about the value of meaningful friendships. “Only a lucky person gains a good friend – a good friend, a true friend, and a friend who perfectly fits the definition of friendship,” Mark wrote. Taeyong responded directly beneath the post, writing, “I’m glad you look well.”

The brief but affectionate message quickly drew attention from fans. Taeyong’s comment reportedly received more than 15,000 likes, while numerous users left replies reacting to the interaction.

Taeyong is known for regularly visiting NCT members’ social media accounts and leaving warm comments. His latest message showed that his supportive “comment tour” also extended to Mark following his departure from the group.

As NCT’s leader, Taeyong’s continued communication with Mark was especially meaningful to fans. Many welcomed the friendly exchange, noting that the two artists appeared comfortable maintaining their relationship despite no longer working under the same group. Fans responded with comments such as, “He still takes care of him even after his departure,” and, “They must have had a genuinely good relationship.”

Mark announced in April that he was leaving both NCT and SM Entertainment through a handwritten letter. His departure came exactly 10 years after he debuted as a member of NCT U in April 2016. Taeyong’s latest comment has now offered fans another glimpse of the friendship between the two artists. Although Mark has started an independent chapter in his career, their public interaction suggests that the personal connection formed during their years together remains intact.
