On January 29, Lee Young Ji posted several photos on her Instagram, saying, “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.”

In the released photos, Lee Young Ji is seen carefully holding the Swiss luxury watch on her hand while bowing her head to Mark, creating a humorous moment. Based on the photo shared by Lee Young Ji, it appears Mark gifted her a Rolex Submariner, specifically the discontinued 16610 model nicknamed the "Kermit." Another photo captures the two after their performance on stage.

She continued, “It was such an overwhelming gift that, even though I received it a while ago, I couldn’t bring myself to wear it. I was just keeping it to myself. 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.”

Lee Young Ji expressed her deep appreciation, saying, “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.”
