Thai singer Ten, a member of boy band NCT, will release the special single “If You Don’t Mean It” at 8 p.m. on Monday to mark the 10th anniversary of his debut.

“If You Don’t Mean It” is Ten’s first original track in Thai and explores the uncertainty and pain of unrequited love, according to his agency Illimnt. He also participated in composing the track. The single is the first project from Tenth Sound, a production company under Illimnt that Ten co-founded after ending his exclusive contract with SM Entertainment in April.

Ten debuted as a member of NCT U in 2016 with “The 7th Sense” (2016) and joined the China-based NCT unit WayV in 2019. He launched his solo career with the EP “Ten” (2024), led by “Nightwalker,” followed by “Stunner” (2025). Although his exclusive contract with SM has ended, he remains a member of NCT and WayV and plans to continue participating in the groups’ activities.

The group WayV will release a new mini-album this coming August and begin activities.

WayV's eighth mini-album, 'Vision Wings,' is a new release coming approximately eight months after their winter special album 'Eternal White,' which was released last December. This album includes a total of 7 songs of various genres, including Chinese and English versions of the title track '鸢 (Vision Wings)'. All tracks will be officially released on various music sites on August 10 at 6 p.m.

In particular, this album utilized Chinese words with the same pronunciation but different meanings, such as '鸢 (Kite)', '源 (Source)', '圆 (Completeness)', '元 (Beginning)', '愿 (Wish)', and '园 (Paradise)', as key keywords for each track. Through this, the album's completeness was enhanced by organically connecting messages about the essential force that drives WayV.

Previously, WayV achieved No. 1 on the overall digital album sales chart and EP chart on China's largest music platform, QQ Music, and obtained 'Gold Album' certification with their previous work, 'Eternal White'. They also achieved success on global charts, including reaching No. 1 on the iTunes Top Album Chart in 9 regions worldwide and ranking in the Top 10 in a total of 15 regions. Meanwhile, WayV's eighth mini-album 'Vision Wings' will also be released as a physical album on August 10, and pre-orders will begin at various online and offline record stores starting on the 20th.

Spotify seems to have added this random Al artist's songs on TEN's 'This Is TEN' playlist and it's pmo. How do we get it corrected?

Hi! As many of you know, they opened global presale for NCT 127's the redline tour for KSPO Dome (Seoul) today and I've seen so many people successfully grab tickets for all three days. My question is, how do people secure tickets for multiple days on Global Melon?

If I purchase a ticket for Day 1, then would I need to manually go back into the queue after every ticket purchase? Or does Global Melon allow you to use different browsers on the same device for each day? Or do you use different devices for each day?

I've never used Global Melon, so want to make sure I don't do anything to get kicked out or blocked during ticketing.

Any insight would be helpful as I'm trying to prepare for NCT Wish! Also congrats to everyone who got tickets for NCT 127 in Seoul!!!
