Singer-songwriter 10CM, whose real name is Kwon Jung-yeol, says he will make a comeback with his fifth album and share its production with fans.
“As an audience and a listener myself, I immerse myself in songs better when I watch the making of that album,” 10CM said in a video on his YouTube channel Monday. “So I thought it would be nice if 10CM's audiences experience that too.”
He said he will reflect fans' feedback about the album once he starts sharing the process. “I hope listeners can glimpse the perks of being a producer through the content,” he said.
10CM debuted as an indie group with former member Yoon Cheol-jong in 2004. The duo shot to stardom with the catchy rhythmical song “Americano” in 2010.
Yoon left the group after being charged with drug use in 2017. Kwon has continued with 10CM as a solo performer since.
