TEN Chittaphon Co-founds Global Company ILLIMNT and Becomes Its First Artist

The significant launch of " ILLIMNT" is a global company that goes beyond just artist management. It aims to be a creative hub connecting music, culture, visual art, fashion, original content creation, and collaborations with global brands. It officially debuted with TEN Chittaphon Leechaipornkul or "TEN" —an artist behind many global phenomena—as co-founder and the label’s first artist.

ILLIMNT is committed to supporting and promoting artists under a vision to present the true identity and uniqueness of artists to audiences worldwide, emphasizing authenticity and unconventional creativity as core values to deliver new, engaging experiences for audiences.

ILLIMNT launched by collaborating with global artist and company co-founder ‘TEN,’ who will have activities in South Korea, China, the United States, and other countries globally. ‘TEN’ will perform as a solo artist of ILLIMNT, showcasing top-tier performance skills, deep musicality, and a distinctive image, building on his achievements and recognition as a member of NCT and WayV.

As a co-founder, ‘TEN’ said ILLIMNT believes that "even what seems impossible can become reality through the power of creativity. We hope ILLIMNT becomes a space that empowers artists to trust their identities while exploring new possibilities to create works that connect people, inspire, and transcend language and cultural barriers to reach audiences worldwide."

In the future, ILLIMNT plans to adopt an artist-centered management model and leverage a global network to drive projects that create impact not only in music but also ripple across broader cultural spheres.
