Since leaving JYP Entertainment, each member of GOT7 has begun their own solo creative paths. Member Mark Tuan released his single, “One in a Million,” and began his own Youtube channel, which currently has over two million subscribers. His most recent endeavor marks the beginning of more releases with his own streetwear brand, XC3, in collaboration with Represent.

XCIII

XCIII is the beginning of Mark Tuan’s brand name and is a play on his birth year, 1993. Two collections dropped under the XCIII name, with the first release in July of 2018 and the second release in March of 2019. These streetwear collections were based around a more distressed look with the edgy logo lines of XCIII and 93 as the lettering for the brand. The colors were primarily in black and white with accents of red, and they came in a variety of shirts, jackets, hoodies, and even had a fanny pack for an accessory to purchase.

XC3

XC3 became the rename of Mark’s previous logo and they had a rebrand in design. Its clean, sharp lines for the new XC3 logo really tie together his love of streetwear and bringing his own personal touch to the style that Mark wants to share with his fans. The XC3 brand is very close to Mark’s heart, as his goal is to inspire and uplift others with the messages on the clothes while bringing a smile to his fans’ faces. This third collection was released in March 2021 and includes an assortment of t-shirts, hoodies, sweatpants, hats, mugs, totes, sandals, phone cases, a necklace, and even a blanket. The t-shirts come in black and white as well as a coral and island blue color. Both the hoodie and t-shirt have poetic messages to remind the wearer of the positive messages that they say:

“Grasp onto your life

Take control of it

Stop letting time slip by

If you don’t like what you see

There’s no need for things

To be the way that they are

You have the power

To change

To adapt

And to conquer

Be the person you have always

Wanted to be

There’s no need to wait

Any longer”

Another message that is seen on the back of the shirts and hoodies says:

“Direct your focus on the process and not so much on the result

Life is about taking control of the moment

Every decision counts

Make sure not to lose focus on what it is that you want to achieve”
