By returning to Thailand this time, “Ten” came to tell his own story on the WOODY FM program before standing at this point. through things come in abundance
Are you excited because you haven’t seen any interviews anywhere??
“I’m excited. Because it is the first solo interview.”
Life as a Korean idol trainee from a young age, challenges, pressures, when do you think about? ?
“Each period is different. Ten felt that each moment he came in was a lesson that made me stronger.”
What are the obstacles??
“After debuting, Ten had leg surgery. because dancing a lot causes leg problems which is the time when we think how should we go on? If the legs are not healed, can they dance? But fortunately, the leg healed normally. But at that time, it was also a very twisted period for Ten. Because before the leg surgery, only practice dancing Rarely practice singing But after having surgery on my leg, I suddenly had to learn everything so I prepared myself. If we can’t dance then we have to sing. At that time, it was the time when I learned to sing and dance everything. It was the time when I was the most tired, but it was the time when I gained the most.”
Being a trainee was probably one of the most challenging times in my life.?
“It seems everything has changed a lot. After Ten went to Korea Maybe it’s about habits too. In the past, I was a chill person. everything is comfortable But after going to Korea It’s not that he’s trying to give us no freedom. But the rehearsals must be on time, sing and dance, everything doesn’t have to be perfect, but we have to make an effort. But this is Ten’s standard. I thought that when I went to Ten, I wouldn’t say that I was tired already. because I was the one who chose to come And at that time we were dedicated to debuting. If you decide to be tired, not tired, you just go for it. But Ten is someone who decides to do it. won’t look back Just run forward. But Ten said this is a bad point. Sometimes we decide to go ahead. Still, I have to look back. Shouldn’t be running forward all the time. Must be halfway through. We finished running and came back to see. and then keep running.”
Everyday success wakes up and does these things. it’s amazing should be happy with it?
“Ten is happy, I’m glad I did because it’s what Ten wants to do. But I’m going to be the person who has a lot of fun during the prep time. When rehearsing, shooting music videos, recording, it’s when Ten has the most fun, like we’re doing something new. Challenged ourselves with something we didn’t know how to do well or badly. Try to keep learning because life has new things coming up all the time.”
Since when did you like dancing??
“About the age of 13, when I was young, I was a person who didn’t like to sing, didn’t like to dance, didn’t like being in front of the camera. But after that I don’t remember it at all. I don’t understand why it has to be on television, but suddenly after watching Step Up, my grandmother asked me if I wanted to try dancing. So try to take a dance class. Singing at that time was still shy, but back and forth I really liked dancing and singing.”
When did you feel that you wanted to be an artist??
“It just keeps accumulating. As a kid, everyone wanted to be cool. In school you wanted to stand out. Ten said it started from there more. Because when I was young very social Dancing seems to be one thing that allows me to get to know more people.”
I haven’t been back to Thailand for a long time during the COVID period. When I came back, it was as if there was a clip that had already appeared on the screen at Siam. “Ten” fell down and cried. What were you thinking then?
“I haven’t been to Thailand for a long time, I’ve been living abroad. And like sometimes Ten is a strong person. and a person who keeps a lot to himself as well It’s very strange. Every time I go back to Thailand, I feel sensitive. It’s like having a wall to protect Ten from the outside world. I don’t know why but with Thailand. If someone asks you a question about your family or welcome home It suddenly made I’m sensitive every time. Thank you very much everyone for supporting Ten.”
In addition to supporting the subject of music What do they give? Some “Ten”?
“The push that wants Ten to show more, love, every time, Ten is very grateful. But one thing I’m very thankful for is that their fans are just like do-it-all. We will support Ten itself. We will always be behind Ten to support. Therefore, Tenten doesn’t have to be afraid. like giving confidence and courage to do what we fear.”
Are you confident now that you have to shoot? When you have to sing or still have excitement every time?
“I’m excited every time. Because Ten doesn’t want to be very familiar with the front of the camera. Because if you are very familiar with the front of the camera You’d think it was normal. But if you are still excited So you want to do something new for people to see.”
life of “Ten” has an angle that people see and an angle that people don’t see. A corner that people haven’t seen of “Ten Chitphon” What do you like to do?
“At this time, if there is a cat Will play with cats, watch movies. Seriously, Ten is someone who doesn’t have a schedule. Will be a very lazy person, so chill, wants to go out and chill out, but Ten is too lazy to go out. But if you go to the practice room Sometimes it’s just staying at home or going to camp to practice.”
WayV has many members and Very international, how do you use the language when talking?
“First of all everyone will speak Korean. But in the group there will be Chinese, American, Canadian people too, and then it becomes something like Each person naturally begins to speak their own mother tongue. If Chinese people live together, they will speak Chinese. If Koreans come in, they speak Korean.”
In this industry, he aims a lot in Thailand.?
“Ten said that Thai children have a lot of talent. Each of the people who debuted were all very good.”
There are many people who are watching now, they must have a dream like “Ten” who want to go. What do you want to tell them?
“Ten said if the heart fights There is only one life You try it first Don’t think you can’t do it if you haven’t started yet. If the audition was a waste of time, he wouldn’t have chosen it. should not think so Try it first if you can. If not, it’s ok, should we continue practicing or is this the right way for us? Which has a lot of ways. But before saying no, you should try it first.”
Anyone who pushes himself to the fullest every day is sure to reach the finish line.?
“Ten believes that if you’re not good at something, You rehearsed. Rehearsal to the fullest It must be better anyway. Actions are more effective than talents.”
WayV, how is the single now?
“WayV just released their 4th mini-album called Phantom. All WayV friends like Thailand very much. They like Thai food. They really like the energy of Thai fans. So this time, let’s try to promote Thailand. Ten said that Thailand has a lot of passion, every country has the same passion. But it’s the voice of the Thai fans, the loudest, the loudest, the Thai people are cute and funny. This year I will come to Thailand very often. During this time we are doing fan meetings and will go on tour in many countries.”
what is the next dream ?
“Ten’s goals that he wants to do are many things. Everyone will have new goals. always own Now I want to bring out more of myself through music, through books, whatever. I want to show that side more.”
