What was the NCT graduation system?
When NCT started in 2016, it introduced K-pop fans to a rotational graduation system.
Basically, NCT’s members would leave the group after turning 20 years old to make room for fresh, young talent, according to NME.
Mark was the first member to “graduate,” having left the group in December 2018, however, he was brought back in 2020, when the graduation system was scrapped.
“The graduation system was traumatic but we had to endure it and go on,” Mark told Rolling Stone UK.
“Coming back in, to be honest, I don’t think I was fully relieved [about it],” he continued.
“I didn’t know how everyone, including the fans, were going to react and I didn’t know how I should react. I felt like it might complicate things too much, but it also meant we could do something as 7Dream that we’d always dreamed of.
“It felt like the destiny of NCT DREAM kinda, y’know, took a turn.”
While Mark might’ve had his reservations, the NCT fanbase welcomed him back with open arms and they have since been able to enjoy music from all of their favorite NCT members.
