Mark Yien Tuan, born September 4, 1993, is an American rapper, singer, and model best known as a member of the South Korean boy band Got7. Born in Los Angeles, California, Tuan spent part of his childhood in Paraguay and Brazil before returning to California, where he attended Arcadia High School. In 2010, after being scouted by a representative from JYP Entertainment, he successfully auditioned and relocated to South Korea in August of that year to undergo training in singing, dancing, rapping, acrobatics, and martial arts.

Before his official music debut, Tuan made a cameo appearance as a backup dancer in the 2012 drama Dream High 2 and appeared on the 2013 reality program WIN: Who is Next. On January 16, 2014, he officially debuted as a member of Got7 with the extended play Got It?. Over his time with the group, he contributed to song production, earning credits as a songwriter and co-composer on numerous Got7 tracks, including his first Korean solo song OMW featuring Jackson Wang from the 2018 album Present: You.

In addition to group activities, Tuan launched a modeling career in May 2017 after appearing in Dazed Korea, subsequently featuring on over 21 magazine covers across South Korea, China, and Thailand by April 2021. He expanded his solo presence in mainland China starting in 2018 through event appearances, photoshoots, and the 2019 variety show Change Your Life. He won the Hot Star Award at the Weibo Starlight Awards in 2019, held a multi-city fan meeting tour titled On Your Mark, and released his first Chinese single Outta My Head, followed by the charity single Never Told You.

In January 2021, Tuan and his fellow Got7 members departed JYP Entertainment upon the expiration of their contracts. Tuan returned to the United States, established Mark Tuan Studio for his Chinese promotions, co-founded the label DNA Records, and signed with Creative Artists Agency in April 2021. That same year, he released the collaborative single One in a Million with Sanjoy Deb, contributed the song Never Gonna Come Down with Bibi to the soundtrack for Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, and released the digital single Last Breath.

Tuan released his debut studio album, The Other Side, on August 26, 2022, featuring the single IMYSM and the title track Far Away. He co-wrote and co-composed all 20 tracks on the record and launched his first solo world tour. In October 2023, he released the digital EP Fallin', followed by further tour stops through 2024. In 2025, Tuan released the single High As You, partnered with Thai agency BNJ, and released his second EP, Silhouette, which reached number 19 on South Korea's Circle Weekly Album Chart.

Throughout his career, Tuan has designed limited-edition apparel collections with the brand Represent, directing proceeds to organizations such as Save the Children. He has contributed personal donations to causes supporting flood relief in Thailand, Stop AAPI Hate, COVID-19 relief in Hubei, the George Floyd Memorial Fund, and Typhoon Ulysses victims.
