10CM, a prominent figure in the South Korean indie music scene, skillfully combines acoustic folk elements with modern pop sensibilities. The artist behind 10CM, Kwon Jung-yeol, initially emerged as a duo but has continued as a solo act since 2017 after the departure of the other member, Yoon Cheol-jong. The name "10cm" is a playful nod to the height difference between the two original members and symbolizes the intimate, close-knit vibe of their music. Over the years, 10CM has charmed listeners with his airy vocals and heartfelt lyrics, tackling themes of love, loss, and the minutiae of daily life.

Known for his evocative storytelling and the ability to elicit deep emotions, 10CM has become a staple in South Korea's music festivals and soundtracks for television dramas. His discography, which includes hits like "Tiramisu Cake" from the project "The Last 10 Years X 10CM" and contributions to numerous original soundtracks such as "Queen of Tears" and "Lovely Runner, Pt. 8," showcases his versatility as an artist. Through collaborations and solo projects, 10CM continues to experiment with his sound, incorporating different genres and instruments, but always maintaining the unique, delicate essence that has won over fans worldwide. His recent releases, like "[THE SEASONS Vol. 11] <Choi Jung Hoon's Midnight Park> ReːWake x 10CM" and "5.6 [Late Night Walk]," further solidify his status as a creative and influential artist in the contemporary music landscape.
