Ten Chittaphon Leechaiyapornkul is a Thai singer, dancer, and member of NCT (엔시티) and 2 of its sub-units, NCT U (엔씨티 유) and WAYV (웨이션브이 / 威神V). He is also part of SUPERM (슈퍼엠). He graduated from Shrewsbury International School in Bangkok.

In 2011, he made his TV appearance (under the stage name TNT) when he became a contestant on “Teen Superstar”, where he ended up as the winner. He earned the opportunity to sign a contract with the South Korean company Starship Entertainment (스타쉽 엔터테인먼트), but his family didn't allow it. Two years later, he joined SM Entertainment (SM 엔터테인먼트) after passing the SM Global Audition in Thailand. In December 2013, he was introduced as part of the pre-debut training team SM ROOKIES.

SM then decided to create a 25-member group that was divided into separate sub-units. They quickly became known as South Korea's "most experimental band" due to their concept of having members switch units freely.

He made his debut in April 2016 as NCT U's dancer, vocalist and rapper with their double digital singles "The 7th Sense" and "Without You". Since then, he has sporadically participated in more lineups within the sub-unit, but it is no longer his main focus.

He then made his debut in January 2019 as WAYV's main dancer, main vocalist, sub-rapper and center with their single album, "The Vision". Then, in October of that year, SM Entertainment decided to create a project group with members of several groups in order to promote overseas. He debuted as SUPERM's main dancer, lead vocalist and sub-rapper with their first self-titled EP.

In June 2021, he joined fellow WAYV member Yangyang and released the digital single "Low Low". He was excused from fulfilling his mandatory military service in Thailand as he suffered a knee injury that required surgery, and he could not pass the physical test.

He made his debut as a solo artist in February 2024 with the EP also titled "Ten". He is a brand ambassador of Yves Saint Laurent and is active in South Korea, Thailand, and China, often traveling to participate in variety shows or as a judge and mentor in music or dance competitions.
