However, amidst the touching scene, there were notable absences among the NCT 127 members. Mark and Haechan, who had made special arrangements to see Taeyong off, encountered unexpected challenges due to flight delays caused by inclement weather. Despite their efforts to adjust their travel plans and rush to the airport, circumstances beyond their control prevented them from reaching Taeyong in time.
The frustration and disappointment were palpable as Mark and Haechan, stranded at the airport, resorted to a live Instagram broadcast to bid farewell to their beloved hyung. The emotional toll of missing the opportunity to send off Taeyong was evident, particularly as Haechan sought solace in Mark’s comforting presence, visibly distraught over the unfortunate turn of events.
