FROM #텐 #TEN 💌 “hello czennies and wayzennies, this is ten. i spent a long time thinking about how to begin this message. i wondered if there might be a better way to share this, and thought about it over and over again, but in the end, i feel sorry and regretful that i’m delivering it like this in writing. so today, i want to share my true feelings honestly. moving forward, i will continue spending time with you as ten of nct and wayv. at the same time, i’m planning to take on a new challenge as a solo artist. since debuting in 2016 with nct u, the time i’ve spent promoting with nct and wayv and meeting all of you has been filled with truly precious and happy memories. leaving thailand at a young age to come to korea, there were many unfamiliar and scary moments, but all the staff at sm sincerely took care of me and always stood by my side. above all, i believe i’m able to be who i am today because you, who have stayed by my side through every moment, were there. thank you, truly. as time passed and i now find myself approaching 30, i began asking myself once again, “what kind of person do i want to be from now on?” and “what kind of music and what side of myself do i want to show?” after much thought, i came to want to try new challenges in a new environment. after many conversations with the members and the staff at sm, and after deep consideration, i decided to conclude my exclusive contract with the company. i know very well that this wasn’t an easy choice, and that it could greatly change the direction of my life moving forward. but i will take responsibility for my decision and do my best so that i won’t have any regrets. i sincerely thank the members who have always supported me so i could dream even bigger, and i’m also deeply grateful to everyone at sm who has trusted me and been with me until now. and to czennies and weishennies, who have always believed in me and loved me no matter what, because of you, i was able to come this far. i still don’t fully know what kind of side of myself i’ll be able to show you in the future, but i want to walk that path together with you. will you continue to be with me? nct, wayv, and ten, i will come back to you with an even better version of myself, unchanged at heart. thank you always. and i love you very much.
