Mark Lee, a former member of the successful K-pop idol groups NCT 127 and NCT Dream, recently announced that he was going solo and splitting away from SM Entertainment, the South Korean talent-agency conglomerate behind the the various NCT sub-groupings, to launch his own label Upper Room. A few weeks later, Upper Room posted photos of Lee wearing a Confederate flag shirt at an event. Since then, Upper Room has posted and then seemingly deleted an apology.\n\nThe post K-Pop Star Mark Lee Deletes Apology For Wearing Confederate Flag Shirt appeared first on Stereogum.",
