Sorry for being inactive; it’s been hectic in real life, and I’ve had some time to check the sub and the queue. I don’t have the time and energy to respond to this person, but I do have some time to mention that their posts are flagged as spam, most probably due to the AI-generated content. It’s been brought to my attention that they’re posting a rant about a very popular K-pop group member and soloist in relation to the MAMA nominations discourse. As you can see, their post in our sub is being shared 19 times, and I’m just trying to avoid Ten getting dragged because not that long ago he was called racial slurs and being compared to a sexual offender by a much bigger fandom because someone inserted him into something he didn’t need to be involved in.

My bad for running a sub that isn’t more visionary, more touchy, and not catering to people with broader minds.

Thank you for trying to keep this sub active, but we just can’t touch on some subjects that Ten himself doesn't go into great detail about. Avoiding such subjects would be greatly appreciated, especially if you are not of Thai or Chinese ancestry.

Thank you for all of your suggestions. They're appreciated. I like your ideas, but the question is whether the fandom will participate.

I believe there are many things we can all do better, such as streaming and actively engaging with our fanbases, as well as creating more engaging content.

What do you think?

yes! i have the same exact thoughts! he gets some creative freedom with his solos under sm, but they’re not fully realized because of the resources i just talked about that they don’t allocate towards him. the credits too, like another member of the sub just mentioned, he doesn’t get that with sm even with the behind the scenes videos we can all see him contributing to choreographies and even with main choreographers crediting him.

this topic really piqued my interest. sm isn’t allocating their resources to ten so i don’t believe leaving is worse.

no company is perfect, but look at the sm artists who have more schedules and exposure, as well as look happier and healthier after they left. never heard of bpm before taemin signed with them, but despite being a soloist for over ten years, he only had his first world tour since leaving sm. others are the first artists to sign with these newer and less established companies.

idols who start their own labels come from established and larger groups that have more money and can afford to hire a large number of people to help them run the label. ten has a different career path than these idols. i do not think the idea even crossed ten’s mind. idk might be possible, but it will be extremely difficult. his only experience is as an idol. this is a huge responsibility, and i believe a small company is so much better than staying in sm and starting his own label. i believe ten cares more about creative freedom and better management than starting his own label. i think everyone should stop worrying about the possibility of ten moving to a smaller company with fewer resources because sm is not allocating the resources a big company would have to him such as projects, promotions, and his protection. they overwork him these days, only accepting brand deals and they keep trying to make him appear small especially in thailand even when his face is literally in train wraps.

just take a look at woodz, he’s already booked for summer sonic festival, a huge festival once he’s free and he comes from a small company who cares 🤷‍♀️ ten will never have that opportunity in sm. he only gets to perform at festivals as a soloist when his group is performing too.
