A Subpar Guide to NCT DREAM: Take Two- Higher Faculty

[@Sienna1919]

Just wanted to explain some Korean culture stuff yall may not know. Acting cute is like a staple part of being an idol so they have to do it a lot. Also being touchy and affectionate is how you show a good relationship with friends in Korea so you'll see a lot of idols hugging, holding hands or other stuff we might think is weird in the USA. Finally, age is a big part of Korea as well. Even a single year apart in age will make members have different relationships between who's younger and older. The "hyungs" older members, and the "maknae" youngest are terms you will hear a lot.

[@martusus7214]

here in latin america we are very touchy too,so it's weird to see that it's that much like that in the USA

[@idontknowwhattoputhere5434]

@@martusus7214 it is for a lot of people, but Bc others consider it “weird” or you can’t be affectionate without people claiming you’re a couple..

[@Jordyn-gy5bx]

i would say dream is probably who he’s most closest to. he basically grew up with them from when him (+dream) were super young and they always stuck together.

[@keera_xo]

I'm pretty sure Mark and Haechan feel home with both 127 and Dream. But no doubt they are more close to DREAM . They all same kinda age and Dream vibe is bit deferent, They don't use honorifics to address each other, they are more like pretty close friends with same goal . Also Mark is the leader of NCT Dream since debut thus his connection is deep. In 127 they are the youngest members. Taeyoung and other elder members take more responsibility and are really caring. Mark might be more free and relaxed in 127.

[@sadz42]

eh both mark and haechan have said that dream has a very special place in their lives. they're definitely close to 127 but their bond as 7dream has always stood out among the nct brand (they have matching rings, a groupchat with a bunch of inside jokes, us they grew up together). mark was the biggest advocate for rejoining the group and haechan especially has been very vocal about dream being his BEST friends and how much he truly values the time he spends with them. its really apparent when you see them on vlives and variety shows, their humour and personalities click so well and their definitely the most energetic/fun unit out of nct (127 even says they feel scared of them sometimes lol all jokes ofc) I would really recommend the video "nct dream not getting anything done because they talk too damn much". it really shows their unique dynamic. they just feel like a bunch of dudes that happen to have a camera on them which is really nice to see

[@kpoppergirl6235]

Mark likes both the units Dream and 127 , he is babied in 127 by the other members cus he is younger and I feel like he is more carefree in 127 In Dream , he is looked up to by the other members and he has more responsibilities in Dream but he has literally grown up with them since rookie days so I guess he enjoys his time more with them

[@coolgirl312]

REacting to Jeno's portion of the Guide, 15:35 "Who's He? He looks super familiar?" Totally didn't spend the last few minutes looking at his face, lol sorry that just made my morning. Totally something I would do.

[@melanietellez12]

I feel like Mark's favorite group is Dream because he grew up with them, they're like real brothers

[@jisungsmom1273]

i think instead of "favorite" you can choose other term to says abt his closeness. bcs it sounds like he likes being in dream more than in 127 when in fact he himself says he love being in both groups/units.

[@miskaylicious]

I think members don't think about things the way we do. They probably don't pay much attention to the categorization, in any case it's all the same thing, doing the same work and calling it NCT X

[@trash-3058]

15:33 This exchange was so ducking funny The “are you okay???” sent me ⚰️

[@laicadagondon6037]

My bias is Heachan too☺️

Mine, too. 😉

[@jpatrenz95]

[@lucastrash3068]

Someone did a tik tok on how many choreographies Mark knew after he was asked by Eric Nam on the Daebak Show and so far it is up to 58, including the Sticker Era.

[@ThuyNguyen-fv8ig]

I think it's obviously Dream, 'cuz they grew up with e/o, there are still a lot of videos of them at the age of 11, 12 in Mickey Mouse Club, they joined SM at a really young age, literally babies at that time, you guys can look for them to see how young they were

[@runjennierun07]

Hes also talked about how much he loves being a big brother to the dreamies cause hes always been a younger brother

[@bellaurent]

this guide didn't really do jaemin justice at all :/

[@kj5744]

These guides never really do justice for Jaemin. Maybe some separate videos about him get close to his personality and that's it. But then again, he's a complicated individual😅😓...

[@bellaurent]

@@kj5744 yeah, i was mainly referring to how they didn't credit jaemin for the being all-rounder he is but it's kinda annoying how his personality is portrayed in this :(( he is a lot more than this

[@kj5744]

@@bellaurent true, he has a lot of talents that are often being dismissed. Sometimes it feels like the people doing this guides don't really know some members well and therefore just portray them the way themselves perceive them:(.

[@bellaurent]

@@kj5744 exactly,, it's really unfortunate. jaemin doesn't have a lot of opportunities to show what he can do but he does SO well with the little chances he gets. i hope maybe one day he'll start getting more recognition as well as other members who are portrayed a certain way - like winwin

[@lightningdoughnut4880]

5:46 lol that's actually Key from Shinee! He's known to.He very funny and sassy in general but I. that pic he was dressing up as Ronald McDonald for the annual SM Halloween party. (which was actually started by Shinee! All groups under SM usually attend!)

[@bigtoe53]

i would love to see you guys do more guides!!💚

[@beatrizsampaioaucelio8704]

I’m sure Mark feel happy and comfortable with both 127 and Dream , but I guess he is a little more close to the Dream bc they all know each other since they were 12 and they are always together too …

[@samba98767]

8:39 Why korean says 'the love' is like a pun/meme. Because 'the love' sounds like '더럽' which means 'dirty' in korean. So at first, it was used like.. 'You're dirty(thelub). I mean.. the love..♡'. And now we just use it like haechan. like, 'NCT the love'. Nobody asked but wanted to explain kk

[@TanTanDiva]

16:11 it was at this moment that he knew he f up gorgeus face expression, literally can feel this emotion 👌

[@j4ck158]

you can pronounce mark as they show it or in the american way, either way is fine because mark is an american name, that’s only how a korean person would pronounce it to make it easier to pronounce due to their accent

[@haebear5864]

Ohh I like watching guides, especially nct guides 😁 Thank you!!

[@lyvlyvlyvly1179]

you should react to cherryverse videos they are super funny and let you learn fun sides of all members and how chaotic crackheads all members are lol

i am v into yall doing guides and stuff

[@oraaaangeeee]

Wow. This is new 🤯 I never thought you guys would react on this.

[@KL-ot7yt]

Mark gets to take care of the dream members as their leader and captain. In 127 he is babied and doted on.

[@lancarjaya8643]

if you want to know more about nct, you should watch Nct Hyung line and Nct maknae line video , because I think there is more thorough and complete

[@hatrgatr]

“I was calling him Chin-elle” I died a bit 😂

It was cool watching it with you guys thanks for this video

[@j4ck158]

“mark lee is really a little hyena“ 😭😭

[@notcheri]

Mark Lee's favorite group is hands-down NCT DREAM. He grew up with them and practically like raised them (kiddin'). But MARK has always been NCT DREAM's "Guide" even from trainee days, despite being in 2 active groups back then, NCT 127 and Super M, he still chose to go back to Dream, too, when the graduation system was abolished. That's how much he loves the Dreamies.

[@j4ck158]

lol lucas was mentioned because he’s the same age as mark when mark was getting ready to start being with nct dream, so he ended up thinking he needed to prepare and join too lmfao he even memorized the choreo of we young 😭. i feel bad- lol he rlly thought he was gonna join, and he rlly wanted to

[@oraaaangeeee]

NCT Dream debuted in 2016 while Lucas joined NCT in 2018. Although he didn't debut in 2016 he trained with them and knowing he'll join NCT, he thought he would be put in DREAM because he and Mark are both 99. So, during his trainee days he really practiced a lot of Dream songs 😂 not until he debuted with NCT U and WayV hahaha. Imagine seeing a 6ft tall 99 baby dancing We Young with the Dreamies 😂

[@oraaaangeeee]

Mark never had time to think what group he like the most since he's everywhere man. He's like in 4 groups (NCT U, NCT 127, NCT Dream and SuperM),and were still waiting for Marks' addition in Aespa 🥱

[@anniewei23]

Wait- He's only in 4? I thought he's in 1736 groups.

[@NakamotoYutaismyhusband]

Idk if u were being sarcastic or not so maybe I’m just thinking too much but how do YOU or any of us know if Mark hadn’t thought about his favorite unit that he’s in? Mark has been in sm since 2012 and a member of NCT since 2016. So I’m pretty sure he probably thought of it a couple of times or at least once.

[@markmelon3959]

@@NakamotoYutaismyhusband why does he even have to choose a favorite? He's loved by everyone in each group and he enjoys being with them too he doesn't have to choose and even if he does have a favorite, its none of our business

[@subakbaksu2293]

U should react nct funny moment on cherryverse and neo chaotic they KZbin channel is damn hilarious.

[@j4ck158]

for pronounciation, (other than mark, u can say it in the normal american way, they just show how a korean person would say it) i suggest going back to the video part where it showed how a korean person says it and where it showed the korean writing of it- don’t go off of how the voice says the names when they switch to a new idol.

[@wendyyang2381]

When are you guys do the guide to Wayv?

[@vibration9645]

I dont think he has favorite,he can have best of both worlds. In dreams he is a leader and the older member. A baby in 127 and SuperM. He grew up and trained with DREAM members.they even have a show mickey mouse club. But he is living in the dorm of 127 same with haechan.

[@malalaila6]

Iam proud to both of you 😄

[@kpoppergirl6235]

Lucas and Mark are both of same age so technically both of them should be in Dream but Lucas was too tall to fit in Dream so SM did not let him debut .

[@lilyrose0116]

I think it was mainly because his Korean wasn't very good at the time of debut rather than him being tall. But it would have looked funny had he joined them haha

[@kpoppergirl6235]

@@lilyrose0116 nah Chenle couldnt speak korean too but he still debuted in Dream so that wasnt the reason

[@lilyrose0116]

@@kpoppergirl6235 Yes, but Chenle had amazing vocal talents already which made him debut as main vocal. Dream was also needing a vocal line since it was only Haechan and that's why they had repeatedly said that had Renjun & Chenle not joined their lineup, DREAM would not have debuted. Whereas the rap line had Mark, Jeno and Jaemin so another rapper (especially one who isn't fluent) wasn't needed

[@NakamotoYutaismyhusband]

@@lilyrose0116 that’s not the point. What are u not understanding. Lucas didn’t debut in Dream because he was too tall. Simple as that. Why are u trying to go back and forth?

[@lilyrose0116]

@@NakamotoYutaismyhusband Because it's highly unlikely that the main reason for him not debuting in Dream was his height. He probably said it as a joke on that vlive with Mark and fans just ran with it. There's no doubt he wanted to debut with Dream and yes, him and the other 99liners fit the age requirement for Dream.

For me, mark love nct127 but I think nct dream will be his home.
