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.
"why are you crying, it's just a kpop group" actually no, it's a kpop group that helped me recover and SAVED my life when I was at my lowest point and wanted to die every single day

“Usually, I used to leave long messages after a tour ended.
Because I wanted to reflect on what I learned from this tour and express my gratitude...
Um... this time, I couldn't do that because I felt so sorry to you all.
There was definitely a promise I made, and above all, I couldn't say anything first, so I felt so, so sorry. We could have actually talked a lot and sorted out our feelings sufficiently, but since you all had to accept it without doing so, I felt so sorry about that that I didn't know what to say. So, I thought a lot for a little less than a week, and first of all, I am so, so sorry to everyone who loved 127 and Dream. And I sincerely thank you for all the love you showed me. Of course, this isn't the end for 127 or Dream, but I wanted to move on by thanking you once again for the love we received.
And I sincerely hope you don't feel too sad. I believe the memories I, NCT, and Czennies shared together will surely remain in your hearts and be cherished for a long time.
And above all, since there are so many activities to come, I hope you will look upon them with a positive heart...!! I will do my best in my place so that we can be even happier, just as much as the tears I shed and the tears you all shed.
I once said that I think the feeling of love is simply wishing the other person a good night's sleep.
Tonight, I hope the night doesn't feel too long for me, our members, the Czennies, and Mark hyung...!!
I don't know if this humble writing will bring you any comfort, but I hope my sincerity reaches you...!!”

guys, it seems that the main reason they’re emotional is because it’s the 10 year mark. it’s been 10 years since they debuted as nct dream and they’ve been working hard for so long! also they’re probs emotional from the build up of emotions from the 6 encore shows too 🫂
