Is Ten a 3rd or 4th gen Idol ?

He kind of start to promote in 2016 with NCT U

but he's real debut in a fix group was in 2019 with WayV, and WayV is a 4th gen idols

so does it make of Ten a 4th gen idol ?

Since people consider Eunbi as a 4th gen idol since she debuted with Izone even if she was active in a Girlgroup in 2014-2015

Just like People consider Dreamcatcher members 4th gen idols even if Half of them debuted in 2014 as Minx

Quote from LovenRose

3rd gen. Wayv is a NCT unit so it doesn’t count as a real new debut.

still Yangyang, xiaojun etc... debuted in 2019 so that makes of them a 4th gen idols

and even if NCT debuted in 2016, WayV debuted in 2019 so that make of the sub unit a group of 4th gen
