[instiz] THE PEOPLE WHO ARE CLAIMING THAT MARK DIDN'T LEAVE BECAUSE OF CHRISTIANITY ARE THE SAME ONES THAT DON'T BELIEVE HE LEFT THE GROUP

Even when rumors about his departure were circulating, they played dumb and claimed there was no evidence...

Just looking at Mark's actions, he said his priorities were religion > work > himself, the album title was First Fruit, the album was full of Christian themes (even the songs that seemed like love songs were ultimately about love for God), and in his handwritten letter, he said he’d walk around with a guitar and write... Do you really not get what this means?

Well, of course, it wasn't because of CCM that the contract renewal fell through.

1. What's with him going around with a guitar though?

> Same, I thought that he was gonna go busk around and sing romantic songs

2. That's Mark in the photo?

3. What's this photo? It's my first time seeing it

4. No but usually at listening parties, people would always decorate the room like it was their home

5. The narration in Mark's favorite song:

"When I first told you that I wanted my album to have a spiritual theme, how did you feel, Mom? I didn''t want to worry about you. I was grateful. Oh, really? Like a fresh start? Like, "Oh, he's finally made up his mind." So I just thought, "Now I don't have to worry about him anymore; I just need him to focus on his health." Yeah, things definitely changed after that. It felt like my identity was just firmly set. For the past eight years, I've thought of it as "Fruit," just like the title. The fact that I wrote that title with that mindset actually made me think, "Oh, that's right.""

6. Whether because it was for Christianity or not, he doesn't deserve hate for it

7. When was this?

8. They are just trying to turn a blind eye

9. Anyone can tell that he's just running away amidst his 7-year contract

10. Who cares?

[instiz] IS THIS PHOTO OF MARK AT A LISTENING PARTY REAL?

original post: here

1. Yes....

2. So he's doing a listening party at a church?

3. ? He did his listening party at the church?

4. Huh? It looked like this because they decorated it like it was Mark's house

5. What's the issue here?

6. Ah... The non-religious fans will hate this. It feels like missionary work

7. No but that's a "house-concept"ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Cut it down...

8. Just what the hell is the issue here?

9. Wow, so people are even bringing this up now?

10. So his album was Christian...? Not his side tracks...? Oh, I didn't know

[instiz] LOOKING BACK AT MARK'S SOLO TEASER

original post: here

1. Oh, his devotion is seriously on another level

2. I get that he's devout but Christianity and Greco-Roman mythology are often used as metaphors

3. When I saw this at first, I thought "Ayee, this is too forced", but thinking back, I'm like, "Why must he be holding that sheep?"

4. It's a bit late to say it's only becoming apparent now, it had a strong Christian tone from the very beginning. It's even stated outright in the lyrics.

5. I've seen this kind of thing used as a metaphor before, but this is the first time I've seen it portrayed so directly... A sheep in a barn...+ sagging pants? I guess I should say that. Anyway, I just assume he's a devout Christian (this isn't meant to be derogatory. I was born into a Christian family but don't go to church myselfㅠ)

6. Oops

7. Ah, so he's a fan of Jesus?

8. He said during a fansign that for him, it's Religion > work

9. Huh? Is Mark becoming a pastor?

> He's probably gonna release CCM albums

10. No but if you were a fan, you can just stop supporting him. Why send him hate?
