Although his company shared the exciting news through official teaser photos on Twitter, TEN showcased his impressive, not-so-secret artistic talent by posting the pictures again on Instagram with unique edits. The performer has left the K-Pop community speechless, demonstrating a punk-rock vibe and gazing into the camera with tenacity.

Just a day before, the star also posted self-created promotional art for the song. Without a formal announcement of the idol’s activities, fans could only theorize what the craft could mean. Now, fans wait eagerly for August 10 at 6:00 PM KST, when “Paint Me Naked” will officially drop.

TEN is a member of NCT, NCT’s China-based subunit WayV, and SuperM. Acting as a dancer, rapper, and vocalist within all three groups, TEN continues to prove himself a true musical prodigy.

His previous solo pieces for SM Station, such as “Dream in a Dream,” left fans in absolute awe, so TEN has facilitated high expectations for “Paint Me Naked.” However, knowing TEN’s passion and grit, he has no reason to worry.
