Mark Lee has released My Friend, a new solo single that marks the beginning of a fresh phase in his music career.
Released on September 10, 2026, the medium-tempo pop track centers on the idea of love in its broadest form. In announcing the song, Mark presented it as a reflective piece about connection, change, and the people who remain important as life moves forward. The track pairs that theme with a warm, guitar-driven sound and a nostalgic atmosphere.
My Friend is also Mark’s first music release through Upper Room, the creative company he launched after leaving SM Entertainment and NCT. The move gives the singer and songwriter a more independent platform for his solo work.
Mark took an active role in the creative process, contributing to the lyrics, composition, and arrangement. The release highlights a more personal side of his songwriting while introducing the direction he is taking as an independent artist.
