Wait, did everyone see the news? Ten is officially leaving SM Entertainment after nearly a decade! Honestly, it feels like the end of an era but also a massive new beginning. He’s been such a pioneer since debuting in 2016 as SM’s first Thai artist, and while he’s dropping the exclusive contract on April 8th, the best part is that he’s NOT leaving NCT or WayV. We get to keep him in the groups while he explores his own path as a solo artist. He said he wants to find new versions of himself and take on challenges, and honestly, with his talent, he deserves to be free from the typical label constraints. It's rare to see an idol stay in their group after leaving the agency, but if anyone can make this hybrid model work, it’s him. I’m so ready to see what 'Solo Artist Ten' looks like without SM calling all the shots, but I’m relieved the WayV chemistry stays intact! Who else is hyped for this new chapter? #culture #music #entertainment
