Netizens Show Support For WayV’s Ten After The Alleged Mismanagement Of A Solo Activity Resulted In Fans Being Unable To Support Him In The Audience
NCTzens have been expressing some concern over the way SM Entertainment‘s subsidiary, Label V has been managing the activities of WayV‘s Ten, particularly after the label allegedly failed to promote one of his solo activities properly and left Ten with no fans in the audience.
Ten has been engaged in solo activities in China for the last few months, and was even unable to participate in promotions for NCT‘s big 2021 comeback, Universe, due to his absence from South Korea. After so long away from his NCT and WayV members, fans have been calling for him to return to South Korea soon, though it seems like Ten still has some solo activities to wrap up.
According to fans, Label V allegedly failed to make tickets available for the recording of a variety show Ten was participating in, despite being offered 7 free tickets for fans by the production company of the show, Youku.
Not sure if anyone updated this on Twitter, Youku gave Label V seven tickets for Ten's variety show recording but Label V didn't take it and didn't even tell fans about it. It ended up that 10velys who went have to buy tickets from other sources and Youku thought there's no – pic.twitter.com/6FtYYD2smr

Fans who attended the event claimed that, since Label V had allegedly not accepted the tickets for fans from Youku, many fans ended up having to buy tickets at exorbitant prices from other sources. And when they entered the venue they found that, though an area had been set aside for Ten’s fans, the area was empty, seeing as Label V had not made tickets available or informed fans properly about the event.
the show 10 is part of was apparently giving out tix for fans to attend but labelv rejected it. 10velys who attended bought their tix from scalpers. when they got there, they found out there was section for fans but his section was almost empty, the pd thought ten isnt popular 🙃 pic.twitter.com/Z7i1Bc9qfQ

Therefore, Ten was reportedly the only artist at the recording with almost no fans there to support him, which left fans feeling frustrated.
not even 10 c10velys were there to cheer for ten during recording, and those who were there bought the tix for ~3k rmb (~usd 475) when they could've attended for FREE… oh hell is hot for you @WayV_official pic.twitter.com/uIWuVdRDLw

Fans with media tix interacted with #TEN cuz they seated close. Other artists’ fans were piling up while scattered 10velys’ shouts were too faint to stand out in the crowd. Only in halftime he heard and waved to us😭@WayV_official pic.twitter.com/pN15MXq4Lc

As a result, concerns over Ten’s management have been voiced online, with some fans claiming that the WayV members had previously already been concerned that WayV’s inactivity risked losing fans…
like if you all remember back in late 2019, early 2020 wayv members were so worried the fans leaving due to lack of activities and now imagine how ten feels seeing the spot for his fans are empty, making it looks like he has no fans…?

…while other netizens were left worried about what Label V’s management means for Ten’s career.
damaging his image and reputation, sabotaging his career, putting at risk all his hardwork … free ten from this madness

Most importantly, however, fans have come together to support Ten and to show the true extent of their respect and appreciation for him.
My respect for Ten increased tremendously after seeing all of these. Not everyone will be confident enough to pull a performance off seeing little support from the audience. That’s disheartening. But he just didn’t simply pull it of, he impressed the entire venue.
