Mark Lee, the Korean-Canadian rapper and singer formerly of NCT, confirmed he is releasing a new single in November 2026 — just two months after his independently released single "My Friend" dropped on September 10. He also confirmed a new album is coming, but said the date is "still unknown." His September single was written, composed, and arranged entirely by Mark himself. This marks a major acceleration in output since leaving NCT and SM Entertainment.
Mark ended his contract with SM Entertainment in April 2026, leaving NCT 127 and NCT DREAM after a decade in the group. Two months later, he set up his own creative company, UPPER ROOM, where he serves as both artist and co-CEO. Running his own agency puts the release calendar entirely in his hands — freeing him from the group-schedule constraints that governed his output inside NCT. The November single would be his second solo release in three months, a pace that would have been unthinkable while juggling multiple NCT subunits. He has a long history of self-produced work — his 2025 debut albu

LMark Lee is back already — new single in November, and he said it himself.
CNovember? He just dropped one in September.
L"Check the dates. November. That's the quote."
CSo the man never sleeps, apparently.
LA K-pop idol who works this fast without a label? That's rare.
CWait, without a label? He has his own company now, right?
LUPPER ROOM. He co-founded it after leaving SM. Total independence.
CSo he writes, produces, and releases his own stuff. That's a big pivot.
LExactly! And he's not slowing down. Two singles in two months? That's the pace of someone hungry.
CBut is it smart? Leaving NCT meant leaving a massive built-in fanbase.
LThe fans followed him. They're loud. Check the replies — they're losing it.
CI did. They're excited, sure. But solo careers are risky. NCT's machine gave him reach.
LReach he didn't need! He proved that with "My Friend" — it charted on its own.
CIt charted, but not as high as an NCT comeback would have. That's just facts.
LSo what? He's not chasing the highest chart position. He's chasing creative control.
CCreative control is great until you have to book your own world tour.
LHe'll figure it out. He's Mark Lee. The man's a workhorse.
CWe'll see. The album has no date, and he said so himself.
LThat's the mystery! Vague and teasing, I love it.
CMystery is great for fans, but for an artist? Releasing singles without a full album date is risky.
LIt builds hype! Each drop is an event.
CHype fades if there's no payoff. Remember when artists teased albums for years?
LMark won't do that. He's too productive.
CHe's human. He'll burn out at this pace.
LThat's his choice. He left the machine to avoid being overworked, not to become lazy.
CI'm not calling him lazy. I'm calling the strategy risky.
LEvery solo career is risky. But staying in NCT was also risky — he was being stifled.
CStifled? He had creative input in NCT. He wrote parts of songs there.
LParts! He wants whole songs. His own vision. That's worth the risk.
CFine. I'll grant you the ambition. But I still think the album date needs to come soon.
LIt will. November's the single, then the album. He said "soon."
CSpeaking of waiting for news, here's a rumor that needs a lot of waiting.
CNow, the rumor mill is buzzing about Jeff Satur.
LOh, the Thai actor? I love him. What's the gossip?
CFan accounts say he's signed with Universal, dropping a new single next week, album next year, world tour in 2027.
LWait, that's huge! Universal? A world tour? He's going global.
CHold on. None of that is confirmed. I checked.
LBut multiple fan accounts posted it. Where there's smoke, there's fire.
CThat's not how journalism works, Laura. One account says it, the rest copy-paste it.
LJeff has been hinting at big moves. He's been teasing new music on his own.
CTeasing music doesn't equal a Universal deal. Or a stadium show.
LHe's got the fanbase for it. His last tour sold out in Asia. Universal would be smart to sign him.
CBut there's no announcement. No official word from him or the label.
LYou're always the fact-checker, but sometimes you kill the fun.
CI'm not killing fun. I'm just saying: let's not report rumors as news.
LFine. But if it turns out true, I'm gloating for a week.
CDeal. And when it turns out false, you're buying me coffee.
LYou assume I'll lose.
CI'm the fact-checker. I know.
