10cm

10cm (십센치) is the stage name of Kwon Jung-yeol (권정열), a South Korean singer-songwriter who has spent fifteen years proving that indie folk can quietly outlast pop trends. He debuted April 22, 2010 as a two-member act with guitarist Yoon Cheol-jong, and their 2011 full-length debut 1.0 sold 30,000 copies, a record for Korean indie at the time. Yoon departed in 2017, and Kwon has continued solo under the same name ever since. His currency has always been emotional precision. Tracks like Americano, Mattress, and However built a cult following through a voice that sounds simultaneously worn down and completely earnest. The real acceleration came with Spring Snow (봄눈), his 2024 OST for the hit drama Lovely Runner, which pushed his Spotify monthly listeners past two million. Tell Me It Is Not a Dream from Queen of Tears (2024) followed immediately after. His 2025 album 5.0 extended the catalogue, and early 2026 found him on the To 10CM: Chapter 1 Asia Tour across Seoul, Busan, Bangkok, Singapore, Taipei, Tokyo, and Hong Kong. Signed to Cam With Us.
