Ten leaving SM but staying in WayV and NCT is honestly such a power move! After nearly 10 years, he’s finally taking control of his solo career while maintaining his group identity. Effective April 8, he’s moving on to explore new versions of himself.
Let’s be real, SM has been hit or miss with his solo promotions, so this mutual agreement feels like he's finally getting the creative freedom he deserves without breaking the hearts of fans who live for the group chemistry.

Wishing him the absolute best, the vision is clear and the talent is unmatched! Group activities + solo freedom?
