On January 28 (local time), Ten made a grand entrance at the 'Saint Laurent Men's Winter 25 Show' held at the Bourse de Commerce in Paris. As a brand ambassador for Saint Laurent, Ten completely stole the spotlight with his fashion-forward presence.

For the event, Ten wore a stunning light beige jacket paired with a striped tunic shirt and wool gabardine baggy pants. He completed the look with glazed leather boots, a silk tie, and a dotted handkerchief, perfectly blending classic sophistication with modern flair. His chic and elegant outfit received rave reviews from fans and fashion experts alike!

As if his look wasn’t enough to turn heads, Ten sat in the front row, alongside other global stars, soaking in the show with a relaxed and confident vibe. The local press couldn’t get enough of him as he gave interviews with a cool attitude and even made time for his fans, flashing bright smiles and signing autographs. His professional yet approachable demeanor only added to his charm.

Meanwhile, Ten’s group, WayV, is gearing up for more exciting performances. After wrapping up their first solo concert tour, they will head to Macau for a show on February 15, followed by the grand finale in Seoul on February 22-23.
