TEN US Showcase Tour in New York, United States

A solo stage for one of K-pop’s best dancers

Ten has spent years as the movement anchor of bigger groups. Born in Bangkok, he debuted with NCT under SM Entertainment, then became a core member of WayV and of SuperM. Across those groups he earned a reputation as the performer the choreography is built around.

His self-titled first mini album, TEN, came out in 2024 with the lead single “Nightwalker”. That record turned a long-running solo side project into a proper career. The US showcase tour is the step after it, and New York is one of its stops in mid-November 2026.

A showcase sits somewhere between a concert and a fan event. Expect performance at the centre, with the talk and fan interaction that this format usually brings. The exact setlist and running order are not part of what we know, so this guide does not guess at them.

Terminal 5, the room itself

Terminal 5 is at 610 West 56th Street, between 11th and 12th Avenues. That puts it at the far western edge of Hell’s Kitchen, one block from the West Side Highway and the Hudson River. The surrounding blocks are mostly car dealerships, garages and new apartment towers rather than restaurants.

Inside, the hall is a tall black box holding roughly 3,000 people. It is stacked in three levels:

  • The floor: general admission standing, closest to the stage and the most crowded.
  • The two balconies: horseshoe-shaped tiers wrapping the room, with rails along the front edge.
  • The upper levels’ advantage: a clear view down onto the stage, which suits a dance-heavy performer.

Because the balconies hang close over the floor, the room feels smaller than its capacity. Even from the top tier you are watching a person, not a dot on a screen.

Dates and tickets for the New York stop

The New York date falls in mid-November 2026 at Terminal 5. The tour’s promoter and ticketing partner handle seating, ticket tiers and any fan-benefit packages for each stop. Prices are not part of this guide; the current figures sit on the official ticket listing for the show.

Showcase tours of this kind often sell add-ons such as hi-touch, group photos or soundcheck access. Whether this tour offers them is set by the organiser, and those terms appear on the ticket listing itself, not here.

Getting to the far west side

The walk is the part first-timers underestimate. No subway line runs to 12th Avenue, so everyone covers the last stretch on foot.

  • 59th St–Columbus Circle (A, B, C, D and 1 trains): the most common choice, about 15 minutes west along 57th or 56th Street.
  • 57th St–7th Av (N, Q, R and W trains): a little further, roughly 20 minutes on foot.
  • The M57 bus: runs crosstown along 57th Street and saves most of the walk.

In November the wind off the Hudson makes that final avenue noticeably colder than Midtown. Fans usually come in proper coats rather than show outfits alone.

Lines, lightsticks and the floor at Terminal 5

General admission shapes the whole night here. Floor fans who want the barrier typically queue on the sidewalk along 56th Street well before doors. Balcony fans tend to arrive later and walk straight up the stairs.

A few patterns hold at K-pop shows in this room:

  • Lightsticks: NCT and WayV fans bring their official lightsticks, and the balconies glow with them once the lights drop.
  • Fan projects: banners or coordinated chants are often organised by fan accounts on social media beforehand.
  • ID at the bar: US venues check photo ID for alcohol, and the legal drinking age is 21. Under-21 fans get no drinks wristband.
  • Payment: venues this size in New York run their bars and merch stands mainly on cards and phone payments.

Merch lines at showcases can rival the entry queue. Many fans shop as soon as doors open, before the floor fills.

Before and after the show

Ninth Avenue, three long blocks east, is where Hell’s Kitchen keeps its restaurants. It is lined with Thai, Japanese and Italian places plus late-night pizza counters. That fits a crowd heading out at the end of a show.

For a K-pop night out, Koreatown on West 32nd Street is a short subway ride away. Take the B or D from Columbus Circle to 34th St–Herald Sq. With daylight to spare, the Intrepid Museum on Pier 86 at West 46th Street and the Hudson River Park walkway are both within walking distance of the venue.
