[CONCERT RECAP] 10CM TOUCHES HEARTS IN SINGAPORE WITH A DEEPLY PERSONAL NIGHT AT “TO 10CM: CHAPTER 1”

A Gentle Evening of Comfort, Honesty, and Music That Lingers

On 14 March 2026, 10CM returned to Singapore for his 2026 10CM Asia Tour at the Theatre at Mediacorp, delivering a night that was heartfelt and unforgettable. What began with unexpected news soon transformed into an intimate, emotional experience between Kwon Jeong Yeol and his devoted fans, Centiners.

Before the concert officially began, Kwon Jeong Yeol addressed the audience with sincerity, sharing that his voice was not in its best condition. In a rare and touching gesture, he announced that tickets would be fully refunded, with details provided via FriedRice Entertainment’s Instagram. Despite this, he still chose to go on stage and perform for Centiners. 

The evening opened with “Hotel Room,” specially rearranged into a concert version just for his fans, followed by the light and uplifting “It’s So Nice.” The atmosphere quickly warmed as he moved into fan-favorites “Americano” and a refreshingly reimagined “Island,” showcasing his signature ability to make every performance feel new.

During his first ment, he greeted the crowd warmly, sharing how much he had been looking forward to returning to Singapore and seeing his fans again. Smiling shyly, he invited the audience to sing along for the next track, teaching them the line “ah na jeoyo” and asking them to echo it back.

That moment came alive in “Hug Me,” as Singapore’s Centiners sang back to him in unison. The emotional thread continued with “Love in the Milky Way Cafe” and “Us,” creating a calm, almost dreamlike atmosphere.

Introducing the next segment, he shared that these were the songs he had been most excited to perform on this tour. With “Pet,” he charmed the audience by using a telephone as a prop. This was followed by “Mattress,” both songs beautifully arranged, revealing why they held a special place in his heart.

The mood shifted with “Stalker,” where fans lit up the venue with their flashlights and passionately sang along to the chorus, turning the hall into a sea of shimmering lights. Picking up his electric guitar, he then prepared a special surprise—a heartfelt cover of “Home” by Kit Chan, performed exclusively for his Singaporean Centiners. The thoughtful gesture deeply moved the audience, marking one of the most memorable moments of the night.

The concert flowed seamlessly into “To Reach You” and “Gradation”. As he approached what he introduced as the “last song,” he playfully told fans not to shout for an encore, hinting that while it might be the final song, it wouldn’t truly be the end.

He then performed “Phonecert” and “Spring Snow,” leaving the audience hanging in that sweet, unspoken understanding. True enough, as fans began their encore chants, he surprised everyone by popping up from behind the curtains, drawing delighted laughter and cheers.

Returning to the stage, he sang “Sseudam Sseudam,” before once again inviting fans to lend their voices, reprising “Hug Me” in a moment that felt even more tender than before. Expressing his gratitude, he shared how touched he was that fans stayed until the very end and promised to return to Singapore as soon as possible.

To close the night, he performed an OST medley featuring “Drawer” and “Tell Me It’s Not a Dream,” celebrating the dramas he had contributed to and ending the concert on a deeply emotional note.

Despite the unexpected circumstances, “To 10CM: Chapter 1” in Singapore became something far more meaningful than a typical concert. It was a night of sincerity and quiet connection between the artist and his audience. 

2026 10CM ASIA TOUR in Singapore is brought to the fans by FriedRice Entertainment Singapore. Team HelloKpop would like to extend gratitude to FriedRice Entertainment Singapore for the media invite.
