It became a hot topic and became a trend after that. “Tent Chittaphon” is a member of NCT and WayV. She appeared in the documentary Dear Alice, SM's first foreign boy group, which was produced in collaboration with Moon&Back Media and SM & Kakao Entertainment America on BBC.
Until the hashtag was born #SMFairTreatFORTEN Because at the end of the clip she didn't get credit despite the presence of other artists' names. There was a controversy on social media about this issue, such as:
- Watching other people's parts is a conversation. Telling the story of the origin of the band name. Ten also took credit for sharing his experience and giving advice with intention, but the final credit does not have a name. People who came to the defense said that this credit is only given to people who did a live interview, meaning they can see the name was added except… (that the camp/team work is not professional)
- Ten, the only Thai person in SM, had the honor of giving advice to new groups. This advice was broadcast on BBC, but what happened is that SM and BBC did not give Ten credit for giving advice to the shows and SM and BBC do not respect Ten at all.
This isn’t the first time something like this has happened. Fans have recalled incidents in the past where Ten, the only Thai artist on a giant company like SM, was treated differently from others, such as
- In the clip, we open the microphone case that was made especially for the artists in the band. Everyone is filmed. But there was no filming.
- There are 5 wayv members currently active with the group, but only 4 have wayv content. Some have 2 episodes, but Ten doesn't have any. There's an excuse for the distinction, at least for now.
“ten chiffon” He is an artist who has always produced work. Whether it is a newly released album or activities in Thailand including endorsements for famous brands and an important brand ambassador for Saint Laurent, he is another person who can generate a lot of income for the brand. But are you treated differently from others just because you are a foreigner?
Because if we go back in the past, many SM artists have filed lawsuits to tear up their contracts, such as Chinese artists “Luhan – Tao” and Korean artists like “Chen – Baekhyun – Xiumin” who were also treated from here.
