TEN US SHOWCASE TOUR in SEATTLE
This was seriously so much fun! It was my first show, and everyone in Seattle gave me so much energy. I feel like we really had that amazing exchange of energy with each other. Now… it’s just the beginning! Let’s go! #TEN
이번에 진짜 너무 재밌었어요! 첫 공연인데 시애틀 여러분이 에너지를 엄청 많이 주셔서, 서로 에너지를 주고받는 게 진짜 제대로 된 것 같아요. 이번 투어 렛츠고! 지금… 시작이야! 가자! #TEN

Q. What does NCT mean to you?
TEN: NCT is friendship, dreams, and where it all began for me. From our trainee days, we chased the same dream together, sweating, crying, and growing through every moment. I think all those moments are what made NCT what it is today.
Q. What do nctzen and wayzenni mean to you?
🐱: You’re the special people who get to experience all our different sides with us. Every time NCT tries something new or shows a new combination, you’re always there enjoying it with us and supporting us. Thank you so much. That’s why nctzen and wayzenni are people I’m incredibly proud of and grateful for.
Q. When have you felt most grateful to your fans?
🐱: During big stages like nct nation, smtown, and year-end shows, when nctzen and wayzenni all come together to cheer for us. Whether you support nct 127, nct dream, wayv, nct wish, or NCT as a whole, seeing everyone come together with so much warmth and love is what moves me the most. Thank you.
Q. Do you have any NCT-colored items in your everyday life?
🐱: When I write down lyrics that mean something to me or quotes I really relate to, I always use a neon green highlighter. There’s one English quote that’s really stuck with me lately: “Fear makes you stop. Once you get past that fear, you can see a new path.”
Q. What song would you choose as the BGM for your memories with NCTzen?
🐱: I’d pick NCT 2020’s From Home. The song carries this meaning: no matter where we are, NCT is always our home, and our fans are a home where we can always feel warm and at ease. That makes it really special to me.
Q. What was your dream when you debuted? Have you achieved it?
🐱: As a trainee, I dreamed of being part of a really cool group, and I got to make that dream happen through NCT. I’ve had so much fun showing new sides of myself and trying new things with NCT. At first, the whole system felt unfamiliar, but the more I did it, the more fun it became. Along the way, I’ve met so many good friends and learned so much from each other.
Q. What do you think you’d be doing if you hadn’t joined NCT?
🐱: I think I might’ve studied fashion or something like art business in college. But honestly, whatever path I took, I probably would’ve ended up doing something creative.
Q. What makes you realize how much you’ve grown since debut?
🐱: When I first debuted, I was more focused on dance and performance. But while preparing Dream In A Dream, I started thinking I needed to work harder on my vocals too, and that’s when I really started putting in the work. I think I grew the most between 2018 and 2020.
Q. Is there a moment that makes you realize how much the NCT members have grown?
🐱: Definitely Nct Dream. We lived together in the dorms since our trainee days, and back then they were literally just a bunch of kids. Now they’re so tall, they’ve built muscles, and they’ve grown into such cool adults.
Q. If you could have one secret superpower, what would it be?
🐱: I’d want the ability to read people’s true feelings. Whenever I show my paintings or videos to people around me, the closer they are to me, the more they tend to consider my feelings and tell me what I want to hear. So I’d love to know what people genuinely think and get truly honest feedback. If I had that power right now, I’d want to know what nctzen and wayzenni really think, but I already know! Don’t worry.
Q. What side of NCT do you want to show next?
🐱: I want to see us bring back those huge group stages with new member combinations we haven’t seen before, and another massive stage with all the members together.
Q. What new challenge or dream do you have for NCT?
🐱: I’d love for all the members to go on an MT (membership training) together, and I’d also love to film some fun, chill variety content with everyone.
