NCT’s Ten will present a solo single in September. Ten announced his comeback by releasing teaser content for the single “OUTWEST” through the official channel yesterday (the 24th). In the released video, various sides of Ten can be seen in the film. The combination of Ten’s dreamlike and mysterious atmosphere and the sensuous visual beauty heightened expectations for the new song “OUTWEST.” “OUTWEST” is a single that opens a new chapter for the artist Ten. It is also meaningful in that it is his first work since co-founding the creative company ILLIMNT, and the first work in which he personally oversaw the entire process from planning to production. This single contains two songs: the title track “OUTWEST” and “IRL.” Previously, in July, Ten announced the launch of the creative company ILLIMNT and began moving toward full-scale solo activities, and afterward held a concert in Thailand to commemorate his 10th debut anniversary. ILLIMNT, of which Ten is a co-founder, is a creative hub that combines music and culture, visual art, fashion, original content, and brand partnerships. Based on an artist-centered production system and a global network, it plans to develop a variety of projects. Ten’s single “OUTWEST” will be released through various music streaming sites on September 4 at 1 p.m. (Korean time). *The video can be viewed by clicking or tapping.
