Ten of NCT proved that he has already adapted to Korean culture as he celebrates his 11th year in Korea, and it brought laughter. On the 11th, MBC's "King of Mask Singer" in Korea broadcasted a duet stage of 8 masked singers challenging the king "Emotional Pleasure." In the 3rd round of the first round, "Stomach Medicine" and "Fire Extinguisher" challenged each other, choosing Park Won's "all of my life." Unfortunately, "Stomach Medicine" couldn't advance to the 2nd round, revealing himself to be NCT's Ten. Ten, from Thailand, has been in Korea for 11 years. He said, "It was a bit difficult at the beginning, but my Korean language skills have grown with the help of the members." He confessed, "The moment I enjoyed the sauna, I felt like I became a Korean (mentally)." Ten, who claimed to be a "K-Conde (preacher-like elder)," mentioned NCT's Mark, who is younger than him, saying, "It's frustrating when my younger brother Mark comes and greets me with 'Hi! Ten,'" attracting attention. In response, Sam Hammington said, "I've never heard of the term 'K-Conde,' but it's not bad. Even foreigners need a hierarchy. It's too rude," and Shin Bong-sun said, "You really sound like an old person," bringing laughter.
