Ten Lee

Chittaphon Leechaiyapornkul, professionally known as Ten, is a Thai singer, dancer, and rapper who works primarily in South Korea and China. Born in Bangkok on February 27, 1996, he gained recognition as a member of the South Korean boy group NCT, making his official debut in 2016 through its initial sub-unit, NCT U. He later established himself as a central member of NCT's Chinese unit, WayV, and the multi-group project SuperM.

Ten attended Shrewsbury International School in Bangkok. In 2011, at age 14, he competed on the Thai talent broadcast Teen Superstar under the name TNT, winning the competition and receiving a contract offer from Starship Entertainment that his family chose not to accept. He joined SM Entertainment in 2013 after passing an audition in Thailand and was introduced as part of the trainee division SM Rookies later that year, appearing in pre-debut promotional videos, broadcasts, and charity events.

In April 2016, Ten debuted with NCT U through the single "The 7th Sense." Shortly after, he competed on the dance series Hit the Stage, winning an episode challenge. Between 2017 and 2018, he released his first solo digital tracks through the SM Station initiative, including "Dream in a Dream" and "New Heroes," both of which reached the top five on the Billboard World Digital Song Sales chart. During this timeframe, he also performed in NCT U's duet "Baby Don't Stop" and joined the full ensemble for NCT 2018 Empathy.

Ten expanded his international presence in 2019 by debuting with WayV through the extended play The Vision. The same year, he joined SuperM, a group formed by SM Entertainment and Capitol Records whose self-titled debut release reached number one on the Billboard 200 chart. Alongside his music projects, Ten hosted the Thai television show Food Truck Battle and served in mentor or judge roles on dance and audition programs, including Street Dance of China, Great Dance Crew, Chuang Asia: Thailand, and Universe League.

Following solo releases such as "Paint Me Naked" and "Birthday," Ten officially launched his solo recording career in February 2024 with a self-titled extended play featuring the lead song "Nightwalker." He released subsequent mini-albums, including Stunner and the Japanese project Humanity, in 2025. In April 2026, he departed SM Entertainment at the conclusion of his contract while maintaining selective involvement in group activities. He subsequently co-founded the record label Illimnt to manage his global career and production endeavors.

In addition to his musical endeavors, Ten has partnered with global brands, serving as an ambassador for Yves Saint Laurent and designing a merchandise line for Represent. He is fluent in Thai, English, Korean, Mandarin, and Japanese. In 2018, he received a formal exemption from mandatory military service in Thailand following a medical evaluation related to a past knee injury.
