NCT’s Mark Unleashes New Track ‘Fraktsiya’ Featuring Lee Young-ji, Showcasing His Boldest Sound Yet

On the 16th, NCT’s Mark Lee surprised fans with the release of his latest single and music video “Fraktsiya (Feat. Lee Young-ji)”, setting the stage for his much-anticipated debut solo album, coming in April 2025.

After offering fans a taste of his evolving sound with “200”, Mark’s newest track delivers a fresh, bold energy unlike anything he’s released before.

"Fraktsiya" fuses hard-hitting 808 bass, sharp synth loops, and a house-inspired chord progression while incorporating UK drill influences—a subgenre of hip-hop—to create an intense, captivating experience. Mark’s razor-sharp rapping blends seamlessly with Lee Young-ji’s commanding feature, producing a synergy that fans can’t stop talking about.

The music video is equally striking, showcasing Mark’s double life as both a K-pop idol and a secret agent with extraordinary abilities. Lee Young-ji’s appearance brings an added punch of power and humor, her chemistry with Mark shining through every scene.

While Mark has always been celebrated for his humility, “Fraktsiya” introduces a new, confident side of the artist. For the first time, he raps about his accomplishments with unapologetic swagger, delivering standout lines like:
“Name somebody who can juggle three teams, still come up with the best solo album, at the same time with no rest time, K-pop should all look at me now.”

The track also provides a more personal touch, with Mark expressing his faith through the line, “God is my power,” a moment that resonated deeply with listeners.

Fans, affectionately known as NCTzens, have praised Lee Young-ji’s dynamic contribution, calling it the perfect balance to Mark’s intense delivery. NCT’s official social media accounts have been buzzing with behind-the-scenes content, including photos and exclusive clips from the music video shoot, adding even more excitement to the release.

The unexpected pairing of Mark and Lee Young-ji—now dubbed the “Lee Duo” by fans—has delivered a collaboration that exceeds expectations. With “Fraktsiya” making waves, anticipation is building to see the duo bring their explosive energy to the stage in a live performance soon.
