WJSN’s Cheng Xiao Spills On NCT Ten’s Real Personality After Working With Him On “Great Dance Crew”
WJSN‘s main dancer Cheng Xiao recently spilled what she thinks NCT‘s Ten is really like.
As the main dancer of WJSN (also known as Cosmic Girls), Cheng Xiao competed against Ten as team leaders in Youku‘s Great Dance Crew. Yet, she also got to know him better after they both wowed audiences with an incredible collaboration.
Over the course of their time on Great Dance Crew, Ten and Cheng Xiao naturally got to spend quite a bit of time together. And in a recent interview, Cheng Xiao gave her thoughts on what she’s learned about Ten’s true personality.
While she claims she didn’t know Ten prior to filming the show, she shared that Ten had jokingly asked her if she remembered working with him in the past.
Cheng Xiao didn’t, but Ten had receipts!
Of course, the best way to bond with Ten is by talking about cats, and luckily, Cheng Xiao also happens to be a cat lover. When she was asked if they had exchanged cat ownership tips, she responded that yes, they had—because Ten is constantly talking about his cats… (No surprises there!)
In fact, Cheng Xiao feels that Ten has so many cats that it would be impossible to compete against him for whose cat is cutest.
But it was while rehearsing together that she really got to know him. She revealed that rehearsals with him are actually very exhausting…because it’s easy to get competitive with him. Even when they didn’t plan to go through the whole dance, they still ended up doing it when the music began playing, which shows how passionate Ten really is.
How does it feel to collab w/ #TEN?
Chengxiao: Rehearsing w/ him is so tiring, idk why we’re so competitive. Dance was intense, we always said we danced casually to the music but when the music came on he danced so hard that it caused me to dance w/ all my might every single time pic.twitter.com/xlJLcxdcui— misskloss (@misskloss) June 28, 2022
In fact, in a recent live stream Ten’s fellow WayV member, Xiaojun, claimed that Ten really does energize the team in the practice room.
ten tmi is when they eat together, yangyang quietly told ten that he misses him a lot, xiaojun said this is a side they have never seen. xiaojun said with ten present, he would feel more energetic dancing since he learns a lot from ten.

Ultimately, Cheng Xiao feels that Ten is much like a cat: he is a very warm person, although it takes him a little while to warm up to people.
Please use an animal to describe the manager
Chengxiao: #TEN is the kitten as he loves cats and is a bit of slow-to-warm up personhttps://t.co/BhOwfScjPF#TENxGreatDanceCrew#TENLEE #텐 #เตนล์ #李永钦 #テン #TENChittaphon #tenlee_1001 #WayV #NCT pic.twitter.com/x5as6XSTWT— misskloss (@misskloss) June 28, 2022
And based on their interactions throughout Great Dance Crew, it really seems like the two struck up an adorable friendship!
