5 Times NCT TEN Stole Our Hearts

Sensational Soloist

Ten’s creative genius knows no limits, evident in the captivating tapestry of his solo projects. With each new venture, he unfurls a distinct facet of his artistic identity, enchanting audiences with his limitless imagination. From the evocative traditional melodies of Dream In A Dream to his seamless navigation across diverse genres, he showcases unparalleled versatility.

Once again, he reaffirms his status as a sensational soloist, demonstrating his prowess as a vocalist, rapper, and dancer alike.

When TEN Shows Support For His LGBTQIA+ Fans

In K-pop, it’s often noted how idols typically refrain from openly supporting certain communities due to potential backlash. However, in 2020, WayV TEN broke this trend by participating in several fansign video meetings where he expressed solidarity with his LGBTQIA+ fans. When prompted by one fan during a video call to send a message to LGBTQIA+ individuals, he eloquently conveyed his support, saying, “I want you to embrace your true self and love who you are. We’re all equal as humans, so cherish yourself just the way you are. Your happiness with yourself is paramount—it’s everything.” This heartfelt moment not only provided much-needed support to fans but also showcased Ten’s compassionate nature, earning him widespread admiration.

His Versatile Vocals

As WayV’s main vocalist and sub-rapper, TEN consistently dazzles with his unparalleled vocal abilities and dynamic range, effortlessly transitioning from deep rap segments in Kick Back to commanding belting in Turn Back Time. His remarkable control over his voice allows him to traverse various genres with ease, while his delicate yet powerful falsetto range adds depth to his performances, exemplifying his versatility. A prime showcase of his talents can be found in his latest contribution to SM Station’s NCT LAB series, the evocative track Birthday, where he not only showcases his vocal prowess but also his ability to connect with listeners on a profound level, solidifying his status as a multifaceted artist in the K-pop scene.

Unveiling Vulnerability with Paint Me Naked

In August 2021, NCT TEN unveiled his sensual and romantic side with the release of Paint Me Naked, the lead single from his debut solo mini-album of the same name. The song captivated listeners with its blend of pop, R&B, and EDM elements, serving as a testament to his’s versatility as a solo artist. With its alluring lyrics and mesmerising choreography, the song not only showcased his musical prowess but also highlighted his ability to evoke emotion and connect with audiences on a deeper level. The song’s release marked another milestone in TEN’s solo career, solidifying his position as a rising star in the K-pop industry.

When He Flaunts About His Cats

In Ten’s world, it’s not dogs but his trio of feline companions – Leon, Louis, and Levi – that hold the title of his best friends. Revered as a stellar cat dad among his admirers, Ten generously treats his social media followers to glimpses of his beloved fur babies through photos and videos. During NCT’s 24-hour relay cam series in 2021, he dedicated a significant portion of his vlog to adorable interactions with Leon and Louis, showcasing his playful side.

Even during his appearance on Eric Nam’s DAEBAK SHOW, Ten proudly shared anecdotes about his cats, emphasising his paternal role. For the most heart-melting updates on his cats, Ten’s Instagram serves as the ultimate destination, offering a chronological journey of the adorable growth of his furry companions.
