10cm to Perform His KDrama OST Hits in Manila this August

As part of the 2024 Closer To You Asia tour, South Korean indie music act 10CM is set to perform his KDrama OST hits in the Philippine leg of the tour this August 31, 2024 at the New Frontier Theater in Cubao, Quezon City.

In an intimate media conference held recently at Vanilla Cupcake in Quezon City, 10cm announced that aside from his songs, he might also perform a couple of OPM hits. Among the local acts that he can relate to, TJ Monterde stood out because their songs and musical styles are very similar.

When asked about his thoughts about the Philippines so far, he said that contrary to what people are saying, the weather is not really that warm compared to what they have there in Korea during the summer. Also, he said that his wish is to actually have more time to explore the country more and maybe take a ride in one of the jeepneys.

The Manila concert will be produced by Cornerstone Concerts (the concert division of Cornerstone Entertainment) and South Korea’s Magic Strawberry Sound. Ticket selling will start on May 15 via TicketNet.

10CM is a South Korean indie pop project led by singer Kwon Jung-yeol. Debuted in 2010 as a duo with Yoon Cheol-Jong being the other half. However, Cheol-Jong left the duo in 2017, leaving Jung-yeol to carry the “10CM” name as a solo artist to this day.

10CM is best known for their chart-topping songs featured on the soundtracks of popular Korean dramas such as “Queen of Tears,” “Start Up,” “Crash Landing On You,” and “Hotel del Luna” just to name a few.

10CM has won the Best Collaboration Award at the Melon Music Awards in 2022 and the Best Folk & Blues Album award also at the Melon Music Awards but in 2016.

As of writing, 10CM will also be playing in Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, and Taiwan as part of the Asia tour.
