PICKING AN IDOL

I wanted to make sure i was picking an Idol i was aware of, one that i followed as a fan,  that i have a connection with. Many idols already have solo careers but one that had a moments of solo work through having a couple solo tracks released in TEN. An idol who has been active for a couple years  (2016 debut) and is apart of many groups (NCT U, WayV and SuperM) . I chose TEN as he is a popular idol world wide and has a wide range of experience working within multiple groups, doing duets and working alone. He has toured Asia, America and the UK and is a triple threat being a rapper, singer and dancer so has a range of concepts that could be carried out. He is one of my favourite idols and i connect to his style and message a lot which is why i think it would be a good idea for me to carry out an idea based around TEN as i have more of an emotional connection with him over Jay Park who i used as inspiration within the research project. As an idol he deserves more of a spot light and has waited for a solo moment there for an idea like this is a way to create a message.

The idol i chose to pick to Re brand and launch a solo album for is an Idol called TEN.
