GOT7 in Grazia magazine, February 2 issue:
Mark
_22 years old, special skill is martial arts tricking
Born in LA, a youth spent in Paraguay and Brazil before going back to LA: When I was young I lived in many different countries, so I was able to adapt quickly to Korean culture.
Street casting: I didn't want to be a singer from the beginning. I was just an ordinary student but I was cast by a representative from JYP while on the street. Because I had never tried singing or dancing before that, I suffered a little for those 3 and a half years.
Injuries caused by martial arts tricking: The ligaments often tear. We have that move where I flip over Jackson's back, but there have been times when I messed it up and ended up falling instead. Thanks to that I was able to rest for a month. (laugh)*
The skill that you've 'GOT IT' like the album title: Because I started rather late compared to my friends who practiced since they were young, my skills are lacking. It's going to be a while before I can be called an 'artist.'
Style role model: I have a lot of interest in fashion, so there have been times when I styled myself after Kanye West.
The member in Foreign Line (Mark, Jackson, BamBam) who is most Korean style: It's me. No matter what culture it is, I adapt quickly. Jackson can't eat spicy food, but me and BamBam really like it.

* = the grammar Mark used here means "thanks to that" in a positive sense, like "it was all thanks to that injury that I was blessed enough to rest for a month" lmao
