After more then one year teasing fans, Dimensions Ent. confirmed that Mark declined the main male role in the upcoming JTBC Drama ‘Han Yeo Reum’s Memory’ because he will be too busy with his solo debut.

“-We know supernovas and Mark fans were waiting for this for a long time. We are waiting for the perfect season to launch his solo career and Mark’ll be too busy with his upcoming promotions to really put all his effort on his acting.” Said Mark’s manager, Moon Jung in a conference. “- The MV shooting’ll still take some time to happen but all the songs for his album are done and they were all carefully chosen by Mark himself. We can’t spoil much but only ask for fans to trust Mark and his talent.”

Surprisingly, Dimensions’s got up by 5% on stock market after announcing the solo, showcasing once again that China is still watching Mark’s decisions carefully.

[+691, -12] FINALLY! I’m just so happy for Mark right now!

[+613, -43] Chinese King is coming guys! Mark’ll hit daebak!!

[+530, -49] My favorite vocal color of all male idols! Can’t wait to listen to it!

[+390, -39] He is good looking and all but I don’t get the fascination over him. Saw him in Running Man once and he looked stiff as fuck, he is the definition of 'company’s product’.

[+347, -35] Since there are people complaining: Mark was supposed to debut as a solo act but because of the whole Alien lawsuit, Dimensions had to rush his debut as the leader of MARS to drift attention away. He is waiting for his solo since 2009!

[+281, -108] Saw that chinese fangirls were gathering enough money to break all the first day records since 2015. They’re delusional, Mark said many times that he prefers Korea over China lol 

[+137, -149] He should just stick with acting because even his singing is bad, he sounds like a chipmunk and he is a good dancer but not good enough to be the main dancer. Really, he should leave Mars and Dimensions and sign up with some acting agency because his acting is decent and he is pretty.

Origin and MARS have become known as boy group forces in their own rights with passionate fanbases, so the success of a collaboration between the two groups is no surprise. Origin’s Mj and MARS’s Mark released their single “Good Boy” under the unit name MKMJ on July 5.

The song is a track mixing hip hop, trap, and EDM elements, for a fun song that shows both of the members charms. With plenty of shirtless shots and demonstrating his vocal and dancing skills, Mark delivers the bulk of the singing on the track. Mj may be more in his comfort zone in concept, coming from a group heavy with hip hop influences, but his choice to showcase his rapping, a skill previously unvisited on Origin tracks, makes it clear he isn’t taking a back seat for this collaboration.

Both members of MKMJ contributed artistically to the single. Mark is credited with producing the song and Mj is credited with the composition of the song. Fans have expressed appreciation at being able to see both of the idols play a hand in the creation of the song.

The song has done well on the charts both in South Korea and abroad, bringing together Genesis (Origin fans) and Supernovas (MARS fans). The song promotions are planned to last a month. Fans are hopeful about seeing more collaborations between Dimensions Entertainment and Gold Star Media in the future.

[+565, -52] What can’t Mark do? Sing, dance and now produce! Did I hear a bit of his rapping there as well?

[+493, -192] MJ as rapper is so swaggy! MJ at SMTM Gold Star, make it happen!

[+428, -51] daebak daebak daebak it’s a hit!! Clubs all around the world are going to play this!! 

[+427, -182] Genesis are here early ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ the comments section are filled with english

[+ 321, -344] Mark gets not only the main character in a popular drama but now a collab he produced himself?! What about Alien?ㅋㅋㅋ Dimensions is once again showing it’s preference for their so called ‘prince charming’.

[+285, -39]  Let’s hope for Mark to do a collab with Jaesung next! They are always together these days, bet they’re working for a new song!

[+250, -240] MARS Shangri-La didn’t go as well as they hoped to, their youtube views are flopping really hard! Stop using MJ’s and Origin as a way to get famous!ㅋㅋㅋ 

[+236, -98] Honestly as a chinese fan I feel a bit cheated up. I’ve been following Mark since he was 15 and he never shows love for China. He is only where he is thanks to his chinese fanbase, we deserve a single in chinese as well. But I still trust Mark - next single’ll be a chinese hit! 

[+197, -170] Trying to polish the ugly rumors surrounding MJ with Mark’s neat image tsk so sad. Mark still good looking as always

The opening of VOLUME night club had a star-studded guest list and since then, fans have been offered looks at some of their favorite idols in the forms of interview questions from the red carpet, as well as exclusive pictures and promotional videos from opening night. 

One peak we got was at everybody’s favorite prince charming, MARS’s Mark, and hot bad boy, ORIGIN’s Mj, releasing their fears and concerns with the help of sexy moves in a provocative choreography that made all eyes turn to the main stage at VOLUME club opening.

Both MARS and Origin’s recent comebacks have cemented the groups and members Mark and Mj as idols with lots of charm, but this look at a different side of them is sure to have fans talking. Leave your comments below to let us know what you think about these two top idols letting loose!

[+203, -7] I’m not a kpop fan and I only clicked because I saw Mark on the thumbnail, but damn that Mj guy knows what’s up. Top notch visual material.

[+158, -21] I’ll show this to haters when they bring up that Mark is not manly enough.

[+144, -6] I already knew Mark from Strong Woman but Mj was a GOOD surprise. Their visuals are no joke.

[+115, -114] Mark oppa should stop walking with this MJ kid, he is a bad influence.

[+95, -101] Mark is already an ahjussi, why he keeps embarrassing himself? Tsk, he should give up on the idol life and just retire and play chess alone, like every ahjussi.

Jiang Mark suffered a great deal when he got involved in a car accident on the 10th. According to the police, the wet road, due a sudden heavy rain, made the car skid on the track at 8 pm. Mark was in the backseat with his manager and although they didn’t had any big injuries, the doctos confirmed that the actor fractured both his left arm and leg. The driver was sent to an ICU facility but was released after a few days with only a broken arm.

Dimensions and Mark don’t want to talk about the issue but the company assure fans that “The decision to pull out Mark from the activities for October are mostly for us to be assured that he can rest and get better as soon as possible and it’s only precaution measurement. We apologize for fans but what concerns us the most right now is Mark’s well being.”

[+629, -67] hul…Dimensions taking care of one of their idols? About time…

[+407, -158] I want my money back dimensions! I paid this damn overpriced ticket for this stupid dome and you guys didn’t even warned us BEFORE the actual concert abou Mark not attending?! Are you guys that worried that once we heard about it, we wouldn’t buy the tickets? Well, I don’t know the others but I paid A LOT OF MONEY JUST TO SEE HIM !! Completely unprofessional of you!

[+396, -130] I missed him in the Hallyu Triple Fantasy Concert. I know people bash at him a lot but no one can deny that his absence was the most noticeable: MARS stage looked empty without his charisma.

[+321, -91] I think this is just a cover up for Mark tiredness. He just got back from China promotions and there are rumors about his solo coming soon. I bet Dimensions don’t want their ‘prince’ overworked during his solo promotions, especially when dimensions are in a tight spot financially after so many flop comebacks

[+238, -187] some people are requesting more research because there are some rumors about the driver being intoxicated with alcohol.

[+132, -17] Just to know that he is alright eases my heart. Please take your time Mark, we miss you but we understand that you’re trying your hardest!
