A question for dive.. Why the female mc so passive.. Did you give her a question script?

Ikrrr

Ten is literally GLOWINGGG I’m so happy for him.

a perfect 10

I actually read absolutely talented as absolutely tanned 😂

Multilingual

@@kima1767 That's so amazing 2 me. I don't know how he keeps all that knowledge of each language in his head. He's so talented.

We have almost identical profile pictures

I agree. I also recently realized how artistic Mino from Winner is. Their styles are really different but I feel like it would be interesting to see them have a sit down and discuss music/art.

@@hannahgrace6775 Dude, I strongly agree about Mino. He is very artistic and really quite unique and I feel like he has fully embraced it and he is making the most out of it💜

@@hannahgrace6775 please include minghao from svt too they're such artistically sound people

Same... He is amazing.. also i think about Rosé ! she is like very artistic in her work (her video on her channel are sooo artsy and they represent her a lot!) That's why I love these two artists so much.. their work represents them very well !!

FORREALL ten is an art himself. His drawings, dance choreos, his tattoos, style, even his instagram screams ART

SM is greedy and also seems to like to control their artists so yeah

@@tiffanykim2773 to be fair they are ultimately a business and their goal is making money, so I'm really happy they let him be involved and have a say in the process 😭

@@tiffanykim2773 If you've followed SM for a long time then you know that they are very controlling in the beginning but once they have a steady following and experience, they let their artists be more free and have more say. Such as Jonghyun's song compositions, Taeyeon's solos, Baekhyun solos, D.O. solo, Super Junior has their own subsidiary company in SM, etc, and most recently, Ten's solo.

sm isn't that controlling though especially with solos so its not that surprising at least to me

he didn't get /full/ control of his solo, seeing as sm kinda turned his original idea for the song down, and as he explained, turned it into a generic love song so it'd be more "relatable" to others. but he was still hands on, in other aspects which is nice. i do hope they allow him full creative control and direction once he gets a proper solo debut

I know right, if TEN was an mv it would be like that 😂, it's lit😊😊🤩 i'm addicted

For real, nct members are so talented

SM usually lets their artists have freedom for their solo projects, but not for their groups.

Honestly, imo the notion that SM stops their artists from making their own music/having creative freedom is not really true or just too exagerated especially by antis. Everytime someone talks about song selection it's shown that the songs are blind selected and the best will win. So when someone is really passionate and has the capabilities to write/compose they can get selected. And when they win against the other competition it just creates a much sweeter victory. Or when someone shows initiative like Kibum wanting to design their concert costumes for Shinee or the artists that joins sonh camps SM lets them run with it. Even before Jonghyun, Amber and Luna members of Suju and GG and even Shinee has been writing their own songs and some of them got released and some don't. Their strictness is understandable for me. But now, with the SM stations and more available channels to create content (soundcloud, youtube, etc) SM artists has been spreading their wings more without the need to get that standard on them and I think that's amazing as well. And I think with them seeing how successful the songs are when fans are appreciating the thought that was put by the artists also pushes them to be less strict about it.

@@kikilala9371 I totally agree about the exaggeration around thinking they have no creative freedom. Slightly off topic but I'd like to add that this mindset also makes fans think that their idols' every move is so carefully controlled which I doubt is true. Even w small things such as hair and contact lenses...for example when idols wear their hair a certain way (ie kai's appropriation of black hairstyles), they will pin it on the stylists (kai has actually talked about choosing to use the hairstyle himself lol). It's always "sm should stop making them do this and that", as if artists have no agency over anything. One of the reasons there's an accountability issue in kpop tbh

@@misterapplesyd Yeah I agree exaggerated by antis as an insult and exagerated by fans as a shield. And they would flip-flop between "they do have freedom" and "they don't have freedom" just to fit their narative when it's convenient. And just frustrates and grates nerves

SM does give creative freedoms to their artist but they have to “beat” the other talented songwriters and producers. Reacttok interviewed someone that worked with SM and they talk about this. SM Idols are encourages to take part in these “song camps” or even help produce. Also the songs are picked randomly. Jonghyun talks about this too. Can't remember if he talks about this in his radio show

I don’t think it’s his fault he has the accent while speaking English lol

@@brennathecatlover4360 😂 I know it's not his fault, cos like I'm not an English speaker and he ain't too so yes , I could relate to him and yeah he's cute 😗

Thai people who learn English in Thailand from Thai teachers will generally speak English with a Thai accent. I agree, it's cute and it sounds natural

@@hsnrb9959 yessss😌

Its 02.31 am rn in here wkwkwk

i get you. ten is not a native english speaker. from a listeners perspective, i think he wanted to emphasize people keeps changing so a your music style, musical concept.

That high-key comforted me

I hope the outcome of this, the reactions he got from both fans & casual listeners make SM loosen a bit of their control & be receptive of members ideas & allow inputs from them. They only allow it for their artists who are older, so it’s surprising to hear from one of their younger artists that they were allowed to express themselves more freely & hands-on.

Yeah I’m new to him too but I thought he did a great job as a host.
