sup-norm of function equal to supremum of its 2-norm?

In one statement of the Weierstrass M-Test I saw the following definition:

$$\lVert f_k \rVert_\infty=\sup\{\lVert f_k(x) \rVert_2\} $$

But is this really the case?

The full statement looks like this:

Let $f_k$ be an infinite sequence of functions in $C([K\subset \mathbb{R}^n,\mathbb{R}^m])$, where $K$ is compact. If for each $k$,

$$\lVert f_k \rVert_\infty=\sup\{\lVert f_k(x) \rVert_2:x\in K\} \le M_k$$

and the series $\sum M_k$ converges, then $\sum f_k$ converges uniformly on $K$.
