The first of the Mark Lee lookalike contests was announced to be in New York and initially scheduled to take place on December 7, though it was later moved to December 13. The contest actually made Korean news, as fans anticipated it.
Anticipation only grew further when Mark himself reposted about the contest, leading many to believe the idol might show up. The event did hit a bit of an unexpected obstacle as police came to investigate, with a fan reportedly taking on the fine for the gathering.
