Ten, a member of K-pop boy group NCT, has parted ways with SM Entertainment after his contract expired Wednesday.

Ten addressed fans in a message released Monday following the announcement. “Since debuting with NCT U in 2016, the time I was able to meet you through NCT and WayV has been filled with truly precious and happy memories in my life,” Ten said.
