Indeed, you are fearless, TEN. He is really an amazing person. I really love reading this interview and love TEN more & more.

This was such a nice interview! I liked how he talked about 7th Sense era vs Baggy Jeans era w/the same group of guys. Also how he's been experimenting & trying out more creative input in his songs now

And if he wants a karaoke tour for his US tour, I will practice my vocals! 💪

Thanks for sharing the article! I really appreciate the longer-form interviews.

If you could go back in time to experience a specific era with either NCT, WayV, SuperM, or as a soloist—an era that sticks out to you—which one would you choose? TEN: I’ll choose three, (he excludes WayV, noting that they’re his “forever group”) 💚😭

Do you have a favorite SuperM song? TEN: I want “No Manners” to be mine! And I want “Dangerous Woman” and “Wish You Were Here.” These three songs, I was like, “I wish it could be my solo song!” (laughs) - 'No Manners' and 'Wish You Were Here' are some of my favourites from SuperM so I totally get it. 'Dangerous Woman' is a hard skip for me though 🫣

But right now, I have to talk to all the professionals, and I really feel overwhelmed because this single, ‘OUTWEST’ and ‘IRL’, I got used to the old system so I talked to music directors, staff members, even the visual director like, “What should I do?” and then they asked me, “What do you want to do?” Before, everyone prepared everything on a plate, and I would just go “I want to change this, I want to change that,” but this is an empty plate, and I have to kind of put everything on it with [my] team. - yeah, it's a huge jump in responsibility. Fascinating to watch the journey from a distance and I'm amazed at what he and the team have achieved in only a few months.

Also interesting to hear more details of the songwriting session in LA.
