LOS ANGELES, USA (Sept. 2026) – Stepping into a brand-new era of artistic independence, one of Asia’s most versatile performers is officially steering his own ship from start to finish.
Thai artist TEN, best known as a member of WayV, NCT, and SuperM, has released his new double single “OUTWEST” and “IRL.” Marking his first musical drop since co-founding global creative company and IP hub ILLIMNT, the project represents the first release he has personally directed end-to-end. He also contributed as a songwriter on both tracks.
Two distinct musical directions
The double single offers Pinoy fans two contrasting sides of his artistic identity. “OUTWEST” takes an experimental route by blending hip-hop, tech house, and R&B into an innovative genre mashup. Meanwhile, “IRL” turns toward everyday life as a bright, high-energy homage to the global community of supporters who have backed his 10-year career.
Hitting the stage across 14 cities
To support the new release, a 14-city solo showcase tour across the United States kicks off on Oct. 17 in Seattle. The tour will make stops in Portland, San Francisco, San Diego, Los Angeles, Phoenix, Houston, Dallas, Minneapolis, Chicago, Atlanta, Baltimore, and Boston, concluding on Nov. 10 in New York.
The upcoming shows will feature his entire solo discography, including tracks from his debut mini album TEN, his second mini album STUNNER, and his Japanese release Humanity.
Note: Local Philippine ticket distribution and Asian tour dates have not been announced at this time, though “OUTWEST” and “IRL” are now available on all major streaming platforms like Spotify.
