NCT’s Ten denies dating rumors during Seattle concert

Ten addressed online dating rumors during a stop in Seattle on his TEN US SHOWCASE TOUR on Thursday. The NCT member told the audience he was not dating anyone, responding to speculation that linked him to a woman who is not a celebrity.

Ten said he had heard from his staff that the rumors were circulating online. He also joked that he would need to be Superman to date with his current schedule, pointing to how busy he is. The tour is visiting 14 U.S. cities and is scheduled to continue through November.

Ten debuted in 2016 and has been active in NCT and WayV, the group’s China-based unit. He ended his exclusive contract with SM Entertainment in April. The company said it would continue coordinating with him so he could take part in group activities. In July, Ten co-founded creative company ILLIMNT.
