Fans React To NCT’s Mark “Looking Like An Adult” In Recent Photoshoot

It has been seven years since Mark first debuted in NCT, and in those seven years, he has grown up so much right before our eyes!

He was just 16 when he debuted with the group, and he arguably looked even younger than that, especially with the styling he was given for NCT DREAM‘s releases.

Even these days, at the age of 24, he often seems to fluctuate between looking his age and looking like a teen, depending on which NCT sub-unit he’s promoting with!
