The group's NCT member Mark (affiliated with SME) has a successful pop-up event in China to commemorate the release of his first solo album.
The pop-up commemorating the release of Mark's first solo album 'The Firstfruit' is being held from the 19th to the 25th at Jingdong Mall in Guangzhou, China, and is receiving a warm response by collaborating with QQ Music, the largest music platform in China, to provide a space where local fans can fully enjoy the album.
This pop-up consists of an exhibition space where visitors can appreciate the concept images of the 'The Firstfruit' album, a photo zone to take commemorative pictures, and a guestbook area where fans can send support messages to Mark, and it is adorned with Mark's images on the indoor and outdoor display boards of the shopping mall, capturing the attention of passersby.
In particular, on the 21st, a surprising scene unfolded as more than 4,000 fans flocked to the pop-up when Mark made an unexpected visit without prior notice, filling the five-story shopping mall and making it evident Mark's strong local popularity as a solo artist.
Additionally, Mark filmed a dance challenge for '1999' with over 4,000 fans present, drawing attention, and shared his feelings upon meeting fans, stating, "Thank you for supporting my first solo album. I will work hard to become an even better person in the future," creating a warm atmosphere.

Champion,' reached No. 1 on major domestic album and music charts, topped the QQ Music digital album sales chart in China, and ranked No. 1 on the real-time trending chart on Japan's AWA, as well as being listed on Spotify’s 'Top Album Debut Global' chart and the UK Official Chart's 'Downloads' and 'Single Sales' charts, garnering global love.
