Lee Young Ji recently shared a heartwarming and humorous story on her Instagram, revealing that Mark from NCT gifted her a Rolex watch. The gift was a thank you for her feature on his track. Young Ji, known for her down-to-earth personality, expressed her shock and gratitude for the extravagant present.
A Generous Gesture
Young Ji’s Instagram post featured photos of her carefully holding the Rolex watch, a Submariner 16610 “Kermit” model, while bowing to Mark in a gesture of thanks. Another photo captured the two artists together after a performance. She explained that she had never received such a luxurious gift before and was initially hesitant to even wear it.
“I’ve only ever given gifts to others in my life, never had the chance to wear a Rolex myself. But Mark-nim gifted me one as a thank-you for featuring on his track.”
Young Ji recounted the story of how the gift came to be. During the music video shoot, Mark repeatedly asked if there was anything she wanted. She jokingly mentioned a sports car, never expecting anything to come of it. To her surprise, Mark presented her with a watch of similar value.
“From the time we filmed the music video, he kept asking if there was anything I wanted. I kept saying no, but he insisted on asking. So, just for fun, I jokingly said, ‘Buy me a sports car,’ thinking I wouldn’t actually receive anything. But in the end, he got me a watch that’s kind of on the same level. I nearly passed out from shock. He kept asking if I liked it or not and even told me to be honest if I didn’t like it. I was so overwhelmed that I just sat down and cried.”
A Cherished Gift
Overwhelmed by the generosity, Young Ji expressed her deep appreciation to Mark. She jokingly told him she would wear the watch until she retires, to which he responded with playful disbelief. Now, she plans to wear it to her grave.
“I told him I’d wear it until I retire, but he was like, ‘Don’t exaggerate,’ and said, ‘You’re such a kind person,’ as if he didn’t believe me. So now, I’m planning to wear this watch to my grave just to prove it to him. Mark-nim, please make sure you live longer than me. I’ll truly treasure this. Thank you so much for inviting me to do an amazing track and for giving me such a meaningful gift.”
