6 Facts you should know to learn more about WayV, NCT and SuperM's multi-talented, birthday boy Ten

The birthday of an idol cannot go unnoticed and the affection of the fans is manifested with great force on that special date. The NCTzen and WayZenNi are celebrating Ten and this is the perfect opportunity to remember how talented and charismatic this boy is.

Here are some interesting facts about Ten that you might not know:

Ten is ethnically Chinese but his nationality is Thai. He can speak Thai, English, Korean and Mandarin.
His birth name is Chittaphon Leechaiyapornkul. His stage name, Ten, is the nickname his aunt gave him as a kid.
Ten has attended some pretty prestigious institutions. While in Thailand, he attended Shrewsbury International School known for its prestigious art programs. He attended other schools as well to study math, science, and art, and also went to an English camp in England while on vacation.
Ten was interested in singing and dancing since he was 5. He credits the movie "Step Up" for his desire to be a performer. But it was Super Junior’s “Sorry Sorry” that made him want to be an idol.
When Ten passed SM Entertainment’s global auditions in Thailand, most of his family were against the idea of him moving to South Korea to become a trainee. Only his grandmother supported his dream to become a performer and encouraged him to go.
In his childhood home, he had tons of pets, including a Yorkshire terrier, a chihuahua, a French bulldog, a sugar glider, and even a monkey.
