It occurred after Mark left the gtoup.
Earlier this year, it was announced that Mark Lee would leave NCT and SM Entertainment. The idol has since taken steps to establish himself as a solo artist, while also becoming involved in controversies that sparked a wave of criticism.

Still, fans were initially disheartened by the thought that the idol would not interact with the members of his former group, but recent events have seemingly proved this otherwise.
In Mid-June, the members of NCT DREAM shared mentioned that the members took a short vacation to Yangpyeong.

On June 3, Jisung revealed that the trip was taken with seven people, while also showing reluctance to discuss the matter. For many, this signaled that the seventh person was Mark, due to his reluctance.
Turns out the Dream trip to Yangpyeong was actually with seven people😭😭
🐹: I wonder if I’m allowed to say this… Every time I’m about to say it, I suddenly stop myself.
🐹: But everyone… this is… haa..
🐹: We hung out as seven. We actually hung out as seven.

Reactions varied, with some excited that the members reunited, even if just briefly, while others were not pleased due to Mark’s recent controversies.
they spent more than decade growing up together bruh.. thats not something that just disappears overnight 🤏🏼☺️ and more than anything, mark left for good. the only thing that changed is that we probably wont get to see their interactions for a while. but still, i just hope that…

It seems that Jisung also saw mixed reactions, resulting in the idol sharing somewhat of an apology in a series of Bubble messages.
