A 2018 livestream clip featuring NCT members has resurfaced, drawing mixed online reactions amid ongoing controversies surrounding Mark Lee.
The video from a livestream with Mark Lee, Ten, Johnny, and Jaehyun shows Mark speaking in an accented English style sometimes called a blaccent. Ten questions the manner and mimics it, with Johnny noting that is how Mark speaks.
Some netizens view the clip as proof that Ten was aware of issues with Mark's behavior before recent scandals, including one involving a Confederate flag. Comments on the repost include praise for Ten reading Mark to filth.
Other reactions criticize the resurfacing as straying from Mark Lee's current controversies and using old footage to incite further criticism. The original livestream dates to 2018, well before Mark's departure from NCT.
