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."

Actress Kang Ye Won got emotional as she opened up about why she took a break from broadcasting and why she’s finally giving love a chance.

On the March 3 episode of tvN STORY’s Can I Love Now?, Kang Ye Won made her debut as a new participant looking for romance.

During the broadcast, she revealed that negative online comments had deeply affected her. "I used to cry all the time reading comments. I get hurt easily. What might be a small wound for others feels like a huge blow to me," she shared, expressing the stress she faced from malicious remarks.

She also admitted that at one point, she wanted to leave everything behind. "I kept thinking, ‘How long do I have to keep working this hard?’ and it became overwhelming."

She added, "At one point, I thought, ‘I should just quit everything and move to the countryside,’ and that idea actually gave me peace," she confessed.

When it came to dating, Kang Ye Won shared that she had always been content watching others fall in love.

"It never worked out for me. I wasn’t the type to ask for introductions either. I just found comfort in living as an observer. Maybe it’s my fate. I’m fearful, and I lack courage. If I feel like someone might hurt me, I block them out from the start," she admitted.

However, the actress revealed that she ultimately joined Can I Love Now? for her father. "My dad was born in 1943. He had me late in life, and his health isn’t great."

She added, "I realized that if I continue living alone like this, I won’t be able to give my parents any hope until the moment they pass away," she said with tears in her eyes. "My perspective on life has changed. I no longer think just about myself, but about my parents."

Kang Ye Won’s heartfelt confession touched many viewers, leaving fans rooting for her to find happiness.
