NCT's Mark recently opened up about something personal.

In a video titled 'Forever Waiting For Pizza with NCT Mark' uploaded on May 19th on the YouTube channel 'BDNS,' Mark talked about his experiences.

He mentioned that he's heard people saying, "An idol's one year is like compressing ten years of life, so their social experiences are equivalent to that," and he's thought about it, feeling like it might be true.

Mark caught everyone's attention when he admitted, "Last year, I was the second busiest idol. But time seems to just fly by for me… I think I might have a bit of a Peter Pan complex."

Peter Pan complex, also known as Peter Pan syndrome, is a pop psychology term used to describe adults who continue to have childhood tendencies and are unable to accept adult responsibilities. It is a metaphor based on the idea of being trapped in childhood and not growing up.

He then explained, "At first, it was stressful. But now, I see it as a give and take. I'm just trying to focus on my work."

When asked about the symptoms of the Peter Pan complex, Mark shared, "When I'm out with people my age, they seem more mature than me."

He noted, "We live in totally different worlds, right? But strangely, they seem to handle it better than me. Sometimes, I feel like I'm only living in this fantasy-like world."

On November 22, Jimin was honored with the Fan’s Choice of the Year award at the 2024 MAMA AWARDS JAPAN, held at the Kyocera Dome in Osaka, Japan. This marks a huge milestone in his career, especially considering his ongoing military service.

Jimin made history as the first solo artist to win the Fan’s Choice of the Year award, a category that BTS had dominated for six years since its debut in 2018.

In addition to this achievement, Jimin also took home the Fan’s Choice Grand Prize, making him a two-time winner at this year’s awards.

Although Jimin couldn't attend the ceremony due to his military service, his name was met with loud cheers from fans when announced.

His incredible win continues to prove his global influence as a solo artist. Jimin had also won Best Male Artist at the 2023 MAMA AWARDS, marking back-to-back wins at the event.

The MAMA AWARDS praised Jimin for his groundbreaking achievements, saying, “As the first K-pop solo artist to reach 4 billion streams and set the longest-running #1 record for a Korean artist, Jimin has proven his influence as a world-class artist and global pop star.”

Jimin's win also made him the first solo artist to claim a grand prize at the MAMA AWARDS in 10 years, with his achievement sparking excitement worldwide.

On X (formerly Twitter), the hashtag “CONGRATULATIONS JIMIN” topped the trends, while “우리지민이상받았네” (Our Jimin Got the Award) reached the #1 spot in Korea.

Jimin’s ongoing success continues to shine even during his military service. He was also recently named Best K-pop at the 2024 MTV Europe Music Awards and continues to be recognized for his charitable efforts, including a recent donation of 100 million KRW to the National Defense Soldier and Veteran Love Fund.
