it was a DM i received through my mark ig fanpage and we kinda talked for a day abt mark nyc life.. OP gave permission & proof some ppl here are still friends (like newest pic of them) but they lost contact w mark

when mark moved to NYC, he entered elementary sch and is best friend with this 1 girl & both entered the same middle sch + same class as OP and 3 of them are really close friends. mark moved back to Canada like 7th/8th grade
and YES they really did a farewell party before mark moved back to canada and everyone was sad for weeks seems like mark was rly close to all his friends

itâs kinda funny how OP said she was scrolling tiktok and got surprised to see mark is famous??!! she did internet search & noticed mark has a lot childhood memories in nyc that mark donât really tell about
OP remembers how everyone would sit for lunch and cracking up bcs mark is HILARIOUS
his personality was literally like the funniest and he wasnât afraid to be himself at all. And they would have tons of inside jokes (c)

(c) also they were all close friends right when Justin Bieber was first becoming big and all the guys didnât like jb, but OP remember mark being like âdude I love Justin Bieberâ
(pls look at him until now omg)

here about mark lee.. âand if you knew him in person itâs not even surprising how successful he is bc he deserves it, heâs one of the most genuine people Iâve ever metâ

unfortunately mark has lost contact to all his ny friends, OP said not bcs theyâre reaching out for markâs success now, but all of them genuinely miss mark now and would like to get in contact w him again.. mark if you see this pls contact ur ny friends T___T
putting this on twt bcs itâs gonna be a long ass story to put on instagram
itâs with consent here and if the DM continues iâll share again! but it was really nice to hear how mark personality has been genuine ever since he really just never changes..


about the childhood group pic i inserted, it was from this thread!! OP talked itâs the group of friends mark had during middle sch, and also sent me proof some of them are still friends until now! i only put it as reference :) https://twitter.com/atzmcr/status/1233019376489631744
