NCT 127’s choreography is known to be physically taxing and difficult to pull off. Although the boys have their repertoire performed countless times, it still takes a toll on their bodies each time. With Mark’s killer schedule straddling both NCT 127 and NCT Dream, fans are highly concerned about his health.

With fans urging Mark to take a break for his own sake, perhaps the company will look into adjusting his schedule.

This is not the first time that an NCT member has struggled with bodily pain. Leader Taeyong is known to sustain a long-term back injury. He once revealed on a YouTube video that it causes paralysis in his legs occasionally.
