Ten, a member of SM Entertainment's groups NCT and WayV, will be leaving the company following Mark.

On the 6th, SM Entertainment announced through an official statement, "After long discussions with Ten regarding his future activities, we have decided to conclude his exclusive contract as of April 8th."

They added, "We would like to express our gratitude to Ten, who has shown outstanding abilities not only in group activities, but also as a solo artist since his debut. We sincerely support his new beginning."

Unlike Mark, who left NCT, the end of Ten's exclusive contract does not mean he is leaving the group. SM Entertainment stated, "We plan to continue coordinating so that Ten can participate in WayV and NCT's group activities in the future," leaving open the possibility for his involvement. The agency also promised full support for the remaining members' activities.

Below is the full official statement from SM Entertainment.
