In the video, Mark delivers dramatic immersion with restrained performance and emotional acting, proving his presence as an artist who encompasses both music and visuals. Particularly, the scenes unfolding from Mark's perspective left a strong impression, and the sensory color direction contrasting with the minimal set effectively highlighted the emptiness and tension inherent in 'Hold Still.'
Debuting in 2014 as part of the group GOT7, Mark is gaining global attention as an alternative pop artist, expanding his influence not only in music but also in the fashion industry. Having signed a management contract with Transparent Arts, Mark is embarking on a new start, showcasing diverse activities based on a solid global fandom.
