I can't remember where I heard Ten explaining what the inspiration behind his name "Ten" was. I believe he mentioned that there's a type of fish or some other animal in Thailand called "Ten", which is where his parents got the name. I wish I remembered where I heard this from so I could have included it!
Bambam's episode is #141, while Ten's is episode #257.
can’t forget Yangyang saying he’s gonna name his future child Eleven bc his child is gonna be a better dancer than Ten 😆
Did he really say that 🤣🤣
@@mrskenzhu Thanks man!!👍
I still laugh so hard at this lmao This never gets old!
@@shalmali5843 Yeah same😂
Who is yang yang
I like how Lucas is there for both instances lol
the fact that he is half thai make it even funnier lol
666 likes I don't wanna ruin it but I'm doing it
I love how big his eyes are, so when he’s looking at someone or something he looks like this 👁👄👁
@Barabara Hentges lol
@Barabara Hentges wow really? You don’t what say 😲
Everyones surprised that he forgot his brothers full name when I don't even know my full thai name
fr??? how abt in school, isnt it what yall write in your papers?
@@potreaishamalawani4849 Im mixed, talk to me in thai, ill smile like an idiot saying yes to everything
@miniongi and her pfp 😭😭🤣🤣 thank you for making me laugh
@@lucifer-cb2bc lololololololol
@miniongi HHAAHAH
The uneducated fans should watch this. Not making fun of their names
yesss it's so annoying when people laugh at PORNkul or something
I know ;-; Every name in every country has a significant meaning, hope everyone knows that
I watch Thai dramas so I know now how their names work like real name and nick names. And yes we shouldn't make fun of it. ❤️✨
@@Akita6137 me too! I’ve even been to Thailand so I knew about all this already but kpop fans really should be more educated and stop thinking things are “weird” just cuz their not western lol
EXACTLY.
The way Ten pronounce his name🌝💘💘 Thanks for the likes😂(in Ten's voice😊)
I kunfused more than Lay
@@Dishu1985 AYE BALANCE!
@@jen7575 😂😂😂 We just can't forget the BALANCE
He's just too cute UwU 💕
Ten's voice is satisfying. Wtf am I weird?
No i feel the same❤️
No his voice is amazing
thats literally the reason i started stanning him
not me stanning him after he was calling kai 'hyung' in Mtopia lol
We all are weird then lmao
It's still hilarious how BamBam can't remember his brother's name 🤣
Every NCTzen knows Ten's full name! It's a culture thing in the grass fandom
I'm not a NCTZEN but I know it
AMONG 23 MEMBERS HIS NAME THE LONGEST i just -
Love this team relationship ❤
His name is as long as his groups existence
Yesss 👺✋
Most Thai people have both real name and nickname since our real name + last name are quite long. Mine is considerably short compare to my friends, which are about the same length as Ten real name and it's looks even longer when written in English. FYI, many Thai names contain the word which sounded like the word po*n in English since it has good meaning in Thai language. It's means "Bless" or "Blessed" in Thailand so please be understanding in cultural difference between each country.
Laughed at the porn in his name lol, now i understand
I've always wondered, thanks for explaining
@@mae_ri same lol
that's really interesting! thank you for let us know!!
But why the names are long though. I mean is there like a history behind it in thailand?? I mean the names are quite long to even learn it in instance.
I remember my old classmate from primary school who was from Thai had a really complicated last name & everyone would tease him. It was very hard to pronounce but I would tell ppl to stop bc mine wasn’t even American & I understood how it felt ppl making fun of ur last name
I understood it too, my name sounds uncommon on my country and i never found other people who has same full name as me even on google, people used to make fun of my name and stuff and led me into hating my own name even when i said my name no one can get it on first time but now i do love my name, it sounds unique and that's who i am and my parents gifted me with meaningful name rather than common name
@@ereniacastellan4587 yeah I’m glad you came to love your name, ur not a basic, common names are boring anyways.
People also did that to a Thai person in my class
As a Thai person my full name is Plaifa Punthakeirtpaisarn and rn I study in England and it’s kinda funny how ppl try to pronounce it😂 but my other name which ppl call me is just Fa
@@falala435 tbh I find thai name attractive do u know how to keep a thai name I.want a. Thai name :(
FYI - those Thai who have long last names + end with ‘kul’ mostly have their Chinese blood (ex. Ten, Bambam, or Nichkhun) and actually change their last names after their ancestors immigrated to Thailand (like in case of Ten, his Chinese ancestor might have ‘Li’ as his Chinese last name, so when he immigrated to Thailand, he changed it to be “Lee______“ to indicate his original Chinese last name and the word “kul” literally means clans in Thai so “Lee____kul” means the clans of Li). But in case of Lisa whose last name is quite short and doesn’t end with ‘kul’ (Manoban), I can tell that her family is authentic Thai with less to none Chinese blood😉 Ps. I’m Thai and my grandpa is an immigrant Chinese that’s why I’m quite familiar with kind of this things tho Edited: for more information if anyone is curious why Thai people (mostly with Chinese blood) always have long last name, it is because they want to address gracefulness, wealthiness with other good meanings in their last name (it’s definitely quite a common belief in our culture). As far as I understand, in case of Ten, his last name Lee-chai-ya-porn-kul might have a meaning as the Clans of Li with full of great victory (Lee&Kul = the clans of Li / Chai-ya = victory / porn= greatness). The common elements in Thai-Chinese last name would include the meanings of wealth, goodness, victory, longevity and some might have their ancestor’s occupation in the last name too (mine has longevity and diamond lol). For example, Nichkun Horavejkul, I’m not sure what ‘hora’ literally means but for ‘vej’, it means medical (I guess this was borrowed from Pali/Sanskrit). And to consider that his family has a medical-related business, it’s quite understandable tho lol (another example would be Thai former PM, Abhisit Vejjajiva whose parents are both doctor)
Thank you so much for explaining!!
Очень интересно!
That's interesting!
cuando veía dramas tailandeses no entendía porque llamaban o se dirigían a todos por kul, ahora ya lo entiendo, gracias
Ohhh! So it's the same case with Sorn, then?
5 years ago i changed my pocket wifi password to ten’s name until now my password is the same. skshshghfafad
dang, that's actually genius!
I feel like even knowing that id still get it wrong at least once
Ohhh, really...so when we met I get to have instant free wifi right?😎
kiwi yes😎 btw your username it reminds me of someone whom i met in vlive, a filo stay. :3
Good luck to whoever tries to use your wifi 🤣🤣
Am I the only one who wanted to see the Thai Line to guest here. Ten, Lisa,Bambam,Minnie,Sorn,And maybe Lucas and Nickhun too.
The dream
There is also Prince from Ghost 9 He is Thai
Yes please, it would honestly be so chaotic.
Nichkhun was already a guest with his group 2PM but it would be fun to have a "Taeguk line" episode with just them 😂
It’s fun when goes to Nichkhun, he uses his real name as his stage name lol (his nickname is just khun)
actually the writing for both may be nichkhun but Thai pronounced it as "nich_cha_khun" 3 syllables, but in korea they pronounced his name "nick_khun"
@@tpoprocks yes he said that jyp misunderstood about his name and he just let it be 🤣
@@the_hebrewhammer “buck” is his middle name not his nickname. When Nichkhun speaks thai, he use “Khun” to represent himself.
@@the_hebrewhammer his full name 'Nichkhun Buck Horvejkul'
ten is so pretty
a lot of people might think their names are too long and sounded funny but i think thai names are really unique 🥺
I wonder Lucus may have Thai name since is mother is Thai. I have bothe Thai and Chinese name.
He has. Xuxi
@@dorkaszabo9666 Huang Xuxi is his Chinese name.
@@dorkaszabo9666 That's his chinese name bro are u high
@@dlhtks Stop, don’t do her/him like that. lmao 😂
as i know he doesn't have thai name but have thai nickname which is Joe or Jo
I enjoy listening to Thai people pronouncing their names in the native Thai accent. Haha
Bambam : i cant even remember my brother name While me : I remember all my thai husbands with their full name😂😂😂
Nahhh, I know his name as well as his family's name too. His brother's name is included 😂
How many thai husbands DO you have??
Same, bl fans can relate 😌
@@ribosskioojjo so true sis
@@ribosskioojjo I cant relate though lol, do you know how long their names are, i can only vouch that i know all their nicknames
The only Thai idol I know whose name is probably the easiest to pronounce is Lisa's. Her thai name is Lalisa Manoban and her birth name was Pranpriya Manoban.
Ik that was really easy
Yes I agree with you Lisa's thai name is easy to pronounce and remember.
Like seriously, Thai names are very hard to store in the Brain so i don't stress myself, i stick to their nicknames
Well to be honest Lisa's birth name sound more Indian than usual Thai 😅 in my place her name means ' beloved by soul'
@@sachinvenugopal6926 right? when i first knew BLACKPINK....after knowing "Pranpriya Manoban", i immediately googled "is any Indian language similar to Thai?" LOL (well, i found a video with how certain Thai and Sanskrit words are similar, tho it might mean slightly different from each other)
I fell in love with the way ten pronounce his own name 😍😍 OHMYGOD 😂😂
To whoever is reading this and want a further explanation about this. Probably, Thai names are very long(that's given). But they don't call each other on a first name basis. They have their real birthname and their call name(nickname).. Example. Chayaporn/Chayapon is the birthname(real name).. The mother will decide if either they will call their son Porn(the two last letter of their name which is พร and is pronounced as Pon), or they will make a new name to be the nickname.. To those who want to know how they make a nickname, they sometimes or mostly use english words. (This is true, someone even name Traffic and Highlight there😂) If you want to call Bambam or Ten in a Thai way but don't know their name you can call them.. Khun Bam and Khun Ten.. Khun means Mr/Ms. Or someone older and respectful than you. Or just someone worth the honor😅
I saw a guy working at a Thai restaurant and his name tag said "Earth". Now I know that was just his nickname and not his birth name LOL.
@@Kingdom_Of_Dreams yeah. Thailand is the country i've known so far that has the craziest nickname. You can even name your child Book or Lamp, or any words that comes to your mind. Some uses deep english words.
@@Kingdom_Of_Dreams Some of thai people even name Ozone, pluto, plant, neptune lol
Just out of curiosity, why do they give them the super long names in the first place? Why don't they just give them a name that is shorter as their birth name?
@@whatwasidoingagain it’s usually the last name that is long. If they are given a long first name, it’s probably because the family wants to give them a name with a lot meaning. You can go for a meaningful name or a short name.
Bambam and Ten explain their name is so cute. It's like they knew as soon as they got to their name that it would be a issue
I think for Korean people who almost always have 3 syllables it seems like so much but an 8 syllable name is pretty normal where I'm from. Especially considering our middle names~
Thinking it that way now i get it? My first name has four syllabels and i have 2 Names And 2 surnames.... and theres people with 3 names even
Yes, my name is short and has 7 syllables. Most people where I live have either a long first name or 2 names with the first usually being short, then around 2 last names, except if they are fancy and have like 6 of them.
In my country full names are literally so long so thai names are nothing for me " gamage dona chetana prasadi kumarasinghe" is how names are here . It's Sri Lanka btw..
ten's voice is so relaxing
I like how ten pronounces hid name it makes me feel stuff
i cant stop laughing at baekhyun's "hey! hey!" while whirling his hand HAHAHAHA he's indeed born to be the humor maker
I don't like how the koreans are laughing when they pronounce their names 🙃
They just not used to it. Can't even imagine how they would pronounce my name lol
If white people were doing this they'd be labelled as racists and ignorant. Of course Korea is quite a homogeneous country so i understand their reaction + its a tv show so they have to try to make it funny, but still its double standards.
If only they knew how foreigners see Korean names LOL. It's easy to make fun when you don't fully understand it. It's just part of the cultural divide I guess. For the sake of comedy, they'll laugh about the differences (Korean given names are generally only two syllables, and the surname only one), but I'm sure they would be open to understanding the meaning behind names around the world if they had the chance.
I don't think they meant it bad. Why do people always make koreans seem bad & rest of the world good? Have you seen western kids trying out korean food. They laugh even though they like the food. It's just normal unless they're making fun of your name or offending you
Do you think NCT and GOT7 other members are like 'Dammit we just started the interview and they already stuck on their name for the last 30 minutes'
Chittaphon Hybrid samsota -Kai 😭😭😭🤣🤣🤣
Omg i literally heard his voice in my mind 😂😭😭💔
The fact that Bambam doesn't even memorized his brother's name😩 you're hust like my brother forgetting my name
I don’t know for sure but apparently one of Bambam’s brothers changed his name so many times that Bambam try to remember all of his names but forgot all of them😂
I don't know Chittaphon, I only know Chitaprrrr from Johnny
Chittaprrr is the "horse" he rode in Thailand lol
😌
Rest in peace, chitapirrrr.
Ten makes it sound like his name is the easiest out there
Honestly it might be lol I know how to pronounce two thai names a Thai actor and Tens I consider it an accomplishment
Baekhyun with his snapping, I can't 🤣
Bambam was so serious when he said that he didn't remember brothers name🤣🤣🤣🤣
Them: Wow your name is so long! Me: Knowing every single name in the Thai bl industry.
May I know what is bl industry? Sorry I dont know what is bl
@@jenie9977 Boy's love. Gay dramas/film/comics. Here it's probably referring to gay drama since Thailand has lots of those
stop associating the country of thailand with bl challenge
@@the_hebrewhammer i don't really understood what you said so can you explain what do you mean plz
I know Ten is born in Thailand but when I saw him in a variety show in china with lucas i guess? and speaking chinese, I was like oh Ten is chinese but then I realized "but Ten is Thai tho?" 😳🤣
he's Thai by nationality and Chinese by ethnicity, and he learns Chinese since around 2018 (I guess around the time SM told him he's gonna be in Chinese sub-unit of NCT, WayV) so ofc he's in Chinese variety show
Cuz his ethnicity is chinese
He is Thai men
Most thai have chinese mixed in our blood. I'm also a 25% chinese. And have zero chinese knowledge.
@@depressed_firefly That pretty much sum up vast amount of Thai people really
No one: Not even Ten: Bambam: forgets his own brother's name because it is THAT long and complex.
0:57 my reaction knowing my fav BL Thai actors' names 😔
Nct ( wayv ) lucas (G)l-dle yuqi Got7 bambam
I was actually surprised that Ten's name is short. 😁 I was so used to seeing really long Thai names. Haha
Ten's name is as long as his group's existence I-😳
It's Ten pronouncing his name for me.
Ten is a really good name. Very blessing. (At least in VN, you like that number)
BamBam forgetting his oldest brother's name will 4ever be funny 😂😂😂😂
I like TEN last name It’s so glamorous so exquisite
ten’s voice is everything just
i really loved TEN'S voice
everytime bam has an interview or like a show he's always the funniest like he hit the top every time cant stop laughing 😂😂 he's way too cute and crackhead
and the full name of Bangkok (their home town) is . .

@@millzmillz34 Apparently the full name means "City of angels, great city of immortals, magnificent city of the nine gems, seat of the king, city of royal palaces, home of gods incarnate, erected by Vishvakarman at Indra's behest"... it's like those long titles people gave to kings back in the day to make them even more full of themselves LOL!!
@@Kingdom_Of_Dreams well actually Viswakarman is not a king .. he is a legendary architect in Hindu mythology who said to construct even for gods .. Indra is the king of celestials ... So it means the city was first built by Viswakarman under the order of Indra .. just like ayodhya, amaravati, Lanka etc ..
@@sachinvenugopal6926 I didn't say he was a king lol. I was just writing down what I read after doing quick research.
@@Kingdom_Of_Dreams well i was actually saying what the real meaning behind it and you just getting offended that easily .. and i didnt even said anything negative 🙄
Am I the only one who never thought ten's real name is that tough And I am not even Thai
Actually it's not tough. Some Indian names are even more tougher than Thai names... And for me Lisa's name sounds like a Indian name😅
@@MK-yt1oj yeah Lisa's birthname sounds like indian
@@lalisamanobangs1350 Yeah cause her birth name (Pranpriya)and current name Lalisa are sanskrit names, the languages Thai and Hindi are based on sanskrit the oldest language
@@reetigupta2351 oh
I have longer first name than Ten + two additional names, my lastname is few letters shorter. I never considered my name to be long.
maybe it's cuz they got used to names in korea that some people label it as long. i have 6 names (38 letters) but i find their names quite long bc theyre in korea lol
Ten
I'm not in to nct so never heard ten talk irl except in MVs but mannnn his Thai accent is so beautiful. I'm getting weird feelings. I already replayed a lot of times
Oh, so TEN isn't just a stage name, he's literally Ten. Wow, didn't knew that. Thanks.
Thai's nicknames are usually 1 syllabel only and most of it have English meaning. Like Bank, New, Top, Frank, Lay, etc and thus Ten is actually pretty normal nickname in Thai.
@@firdasyaviera8772 aaaah, I see. That's kinda funny and cool at the same time. Thank you so much.
Yep! Fun fact his sisters name is Tern
@@mikaluuu2446 To be honest, our nicknames tend to be similar to the English vocabulary. So when we write our nicknames in English, we use that word. So that foreigners can easily call it, for example แบงค์ It's sound like Bank so we used Bank. 🥰
Yea but his actual Thai name is not Ten it's Tten or Dten Chittapon Leechaiyapornkul I heard him say it on a vlive and if you listen carefully some members will pronounce it that way. Ten Lee is just his stage name I believe
Ten
Love baek's reaction to everything they said😄
Of course Bam Bam knows his brother's real name, he only said he forgot it for privacy reasons
I never knew BamBam's Korean is so adorable
How strong their nickname culture must be to not even know your older brother's real name LMAO
Real name are not used in daily life especially with family and close friend. Real name is used in school, work place, or use it to fill up paperwork, business contact etc.
in jamaica we have a similar thing where we go by a name that's just completely different from our actual name. idk why, 'cause it's not like our names are particularly long. we just don't go by what's on paper. like my aunt's birth name is vanessa, but people just know her as charmaine.
That's so interesting how that is a custom where you come from! Thank you for sharing!
This just came my way so I’ll give it a go. I can’t really say anything about BamBam because he didn’t say his Thai name but I love how Baekyhun came to Ten’s rescue 🛟 at 1:24 when he put his hand on his neck and gave the bros a classy killer glare like stop ✋ messing with Ten. The old folks looked and stopped. Nothing against the bros but sometimes they go a little too far with the young ones. You got to give Baekyhun 🥇 mad respect he always comes to rescue and Ten proudly gave them a good come back. That’s my Chittaphon 🐅 for you.♥️
He said his name tho at 0:13 Kunpimook Bhuwakul. They should do an episode with all Thai idols to try and let them pronounce their names. Then we'd have our Chonnasorn Sajakul, Lalisa Manoban, Papungkorn Lertkiatdamrong and Nicha Yontararak as well. Ofc there's more Thai idols and I hope we can see them all together for an episode in any show. 😊❤
I've seen this clip so many time now and what gets me is both scene Lucas is just standing or sitting there. Like 'i am half Thai and half chinesee.'
I used to have a hard time pronouncing Thai names, it definitely sounds weird because it's super long but since I became a Thai bl fan, it's super easy for me to call them by their real names now HAHAHHA
Yesss Thai gang we stan. I am half Thai myself, but I don't have a Thai name.
want to see these two dance together
Bambam always forgets his hyung's name, which is so funny. Aside from his name being longer than his, his hyung changed his name a few years ago. But still pretty funny for me whenever he's asked and he says he can't remember...
In my country we have two names and two last names but they are easier to remember. So interesting
I'm totally surprised about their real names especially Ten's real name. Wowsers. 😇
Be a legend, Be bambam. Lets just forget, if it's too hard to remember 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 When Ten pronounced his name, he made it seems easy, when i tried to say, only my tongue is spinning inside my mouth😅
Thai names are so fascinating. Even Bangkok’s full name is super long, like how do they memorise the full name 😭
i think names are so interesting and beautiful. growing up with a traditional irish name in the uk has been hard too tbh, i can’t count the number of times people made fun of my name, said the spelling was too difficult or asked me to change it. i’ll never do that though because i’m proud of my name and it’s meaning ❤ edit: my name means beautiful/bright and a great warrior in Gaeilge :)
I love Irish names!! Gaelic is so pretty. I love the name Aisling (can't remember if that's how you spell it), and I think it means "Dream". While I do love these names, I wouldn't give my future child a name with silent letters (or an uncommon name that is not pronounced how it is spelled) that would create awkward situations where people try to pronounce the silent letters and the child would have to keep correcting them 😭
It's common not to know their long names in Thailand (I think? ) because their names are REALLY long and it's kinda hard to pronounce even thai actors are sometimes surprised when others know their full names and pronounce them correctly
thats actually pretty cool. i learnt a lot
BamBam Handsome❤️
Thats reminds me WHEN winwin say need 6 years to remember ten full name. 🤣🤣🤣
being a bl fan ...it has become so easy for me to remember thai names ....gosh i'm in love with a lot of thai actors and i've learned their full name including bambam and ten too
Learned for my girls as well, love Chonnasorn Sajakul, it looks just like a cool name and Nicha Yontararak. The last name feels like a warrior's name in my language.
Even though I'm hispanic I can totally understand what it feels like having a long name and foreigners making fun of you or not even trying (I have two names and two surnames). It surprises me that most cultures have only one surname that comes from their dad and not another from their mothers.
It's just a cultural difference. In fact, I have a child in my preschool class with his father's last name and his mother's last name, and I legit didn't understand why it wasn't hyphenated, since some American mothers and fathers who want a child to have both of their surnames will hyphenate. But, if you put it like that, then I guess it's a Latin American thing, since the dad of the child is from Guatemala.
I'm not hispanic, but as a Brazilian, I understand you. My full name is Letícia de Souza Araújo, Souza is on my mother's side and Araújo on my father's side. Usually the mother's last name comes first, because it's the most important. I never understood why in other countries they only put the father's name and not the mother's, it seems so disrespectful!
Bam bam's name is the most iconic one....😎 ...
I'm always amazed at Thai names and how long they can be, then I remember I'm Mexican and that I have 2 names and 2 last names and then I laugh cause my full name is equally as long 😂
I am not Thai, but from where I am we also have long name, I'm Mexican by the way. I don't if it's hard to pronounce for foreigners but we have 2 surnames the first last name of our father and the first last name of our mother, then our First name but most people have a middle name, and sometimes we use short version of theirs names to call others, or nicknames but nicknames is just when we're close to others. So for many Mexicans our full name is made up for four names. First name+middle name+ dad's first surname+ mom's first surname.
I am a person from latin america and I legally have 4 names(first,middle, and 2 last) so I understand his struggle when people ask if my name is real
Lee at the front of ten's family name that me his family is Chinese decent.
My half-brother is half Thai, half Australian (he has both a Thai and English name) and I can never remember (or pronounce) his full Thai name despite us being really close.
Kid: dad, why my brother's name is beer Dad: bcos i love beer Kid: thanks dad Dad: no problem, Whiskey
That's a thing in Bangladesh too where you have your legal name but everyone calls you by a nickname
Mark sitting there as bright & pink as a highlighter
Ten ge's English sounds like Angel's voice ❤️🤭
i was muted but i could hear ten say his name
They probably have no idea about how long and complicated names, people in both South and southeast Asia have. For example I have 2 names and 2 surnames which are very loong. My friend has 7 names including all her surnames. Normally in our country the surnames include the positions our families held during the Kings days. I would love to have a 3 syllable name too.
Are you by chance a sri lankan? We do have very long names.
@@shakira7301 Yep😊
thai names are long but cute
Ten thai name is the first ever name i learn from thailand after reading once
0:29 Bam not knowing his brothers name is such a mood-
BAMBAM SO CUTE HAHAHAHAHA
At first it was shocking for me to know that they didn't know that Thai people had two names, then I remembered just how confused I was when I first started watching Thai BLs lol 😅😅😅😅
I just found out that the one I like the most about nct is Thai like BamBam 💖 Sorry but I'm a casual nct listener and never learned their names except for Lucas haha
thai people: our names are too long to remember them latinos: my grandmother’s best friend was called Margarida Emanuella García Monte y Silva
It's kind of a running joke that latinos have a million names haha.
@@Kingdom_Of_Dreams it really is hahaha
My husbands two ❤️
Same with telugu people as well, we have like 2 given names and then a surname/family name at the start! So most people will have a nickname too 😂😂
Name (s) so hard u gotta explain em💀💅👏
