He is also the maknae of SuperM, where he debuted with legendary seniors SHINee‘s Taemin, and EXO‘s Baekhyun and Kai, as well as three of his fellow NCT members.

If we count NCT’s full group projects as separate debuts, that would mean Mark has debuted a total of seven times! He certainly deserves his title as pro-debuter.
