Thai artist TEN is actively connecting with fans throughout Los Angeles ahead of his TEN US Showcase Tour, which kicks off in Seattle on October 17, 2026. At 30 years old, TEN made a surprise visit to Rūts Dance Studio in Koreatown during their Monday night K-pop dance class, where students were learning choreography to his latest hip-hop dance single, "OUTWEST." His creative agency, ILLIMNT, coordinated the visit, ensuring a well-organized event that drew over 150 dance enthusiasts eager to interact with the superstar.

Unlike a typical brief appearance, TEN fully engaged with the fans by dancing alongside them during the class. The studio had initially prepared original choreography, but upon learning TEN wanted to dance together, they pivoted to teaching his original routine. TEN split the crowd into groups, cheered on the dancers, and finished the class with a freestyle dance session, emphasizing his desire to connect deeply with his U.S. audience through shared dance experiences. He also surprised attendees by inviting them to his concert scheduled at The Novo in Los Angeles on October 24.

TEN’s engagement with fans continued at a Korean-inspired cafe in Silverlake, where he appeared as a barista for a special event on October 16 and 17. The cafe created exclusive drinks and toast items themed after TEN, including "The Outwest" and "TENstachio Toast," drawing anticipation and wristband distribution due to expected high demand. TEN said his motivation for these grassroots interactions was to foster genuine connections with fans and create a stage experience that everyone contributes to.

The TEN US Showcase Tour will take him from Seattle to major cities including Portland, San Francisco, and New York, concluding with a grand finale in the Big Apple. With stops scheduled across the country, TEN looks forward to more live performances where fans can sing along and dance collectively, making concerts a collaborative and joyful experience. Fans can find full tour dates and ticket information through TEN’s official channels.
