Mark, a former member of K-pop supergroup NCT, has established his own agency, Upper Room, and will serve as its co-CEO, his representatives said Thursday.

They said Upper Room was founded with colleagues Mark has worked closely with.

Mark plans to run it as a company that produces a variety of music-based content, integrating video, visual art and performance.

The company said its name reflects more than a physical space, describing it as "a place where like-minded individuals gather to share ideas and explore new possibilities." It added Upper Room would provide broad support for Mark's music, vision and other projects.

Mark debuted in 2016 as part of NCT and was a core member of its subunits NCT 127 and NCT Dream. His exclusive contract with SM Entertainment ended in April, after which he left the group.
