Profile of 10cm
Kwon Jung Yeol, known by his stage name 10cm, is a South Korean singer and songwriter. He was born on January 12, 1983, and is currently 41 years old. 10cm is signed under the agency Magic Strawberry Sound.
Although now known as a solo artist, 10cm originally referred to a duo formed by Kwon Jung Yeol and Yoon Cheol Jong. The name 10cm was derived from the height difference between the two members.
In 2010, 10cm debuted as a duo with the single “Americano”, which quickly became popular and established them as one of the leading indie groups in South Korea at the time. Their debut earned them the This Year’s Discovery Award at the Mnet Asian Music Awards (MAMA) in 2010, as well as the Best Pop Song award at the Korean Music Awards the following year.
The duo released their first full-length album 1.0 in 2011, which sold over 30,000 copies. They followed up with their second album, 2.0, in 2012, and their third album, 3.0, in 2014. In 2016, they achieved their first number-one hit on the Gaon Digital Chart with the single “What the Spring”.
However, in 2017, Yoon Cheol Jong left the group following legal issues related to drug use. Afterward, Kwon Jung Yeol continued his career as a solo artist, still using the name 10cm. In the same year, he released his fourth album.
As a solo artist, 10cm gained significant popularity with hits like ‘Mattress’ (2018), ‘However’ (2019), and ‘Borrow Your Night’ (2021).
Recently, 10cm has soared in popularity with songs like “Tell Me It’s Not a Dream” and “Spring Snow”, both of which were original soundtracks (OSTs) for popular 2024 Korean dramas, Queen of Tears and Lovely Runner.
10cm is also known as the King of OSTs for having released numerous hit songs for dramas and films, including:
- “Tiramisu Cake” from the movie The Last 10 Years
- “The Way to Lose You” from the drama My Demon
- “Drawer” from the drama Our Beloved Summer
- “But It’s Destiny” from the drama Crash Landing on You
- “Lean on Me” from the drama Hotel Del Luna
With major success in the music industry, particularly as an OST artist, 10cm is now one of the most respected solo artists in South Korea. His concert in Jakarta on November 30, 2024 is sure to be an unforgettable experience for his fans!
