Yeah, how many schedules in a day? (Baby, listen)
My airline miles fling honeymoon out of space (I said listen)
SM got to wait (SM, listen)
Phone is buzzing, uh, photoshoot with Young Ji
I said, wait
Name somebody who can juggle three teams
Still come up with the best solo album

NCTzens praised Mark for boldly calling out SM Entertainment in a song released by the agency. Fans believe the agency agreed to it, as SM Entertainment needs Mark more than he needs the agency, as is evident by his “insane schedule.”
calling out SM basically this whole song, i love it😭 and the irony of him having to film this in between a tour and nct dream comeback promotions is crazy pic.twitter.com/D8bf7TJ5B0
