by Philippine KPOP Convention September 7, 2024

written by Philippine KPOP Convention

10cm delivered a wonderful show filled with his hits from his own albums and also songs from various K-dramas he contributed on.

Newport Performing Arts Theater crowd got a treat as soon as the concerts starts as 10CM Starts Up (pun intended) his concert with “Where Is Dream”, the OST for the hit K-Drama “Start-Up”.

The Manila crowd also got the chance to listen to some Filipino song covers from 10cm, the first one is the hit single from TJ Monterde, “Palagi”, which TJ joined 10cm to perform the song. Another one is Lola Amour’s “Raining in Manila” which 10cm uploaded a cover of on his Youtube channel.

10cm continues the awesome show with hit song after hit song like the hit K-Drama OSTs “Spring Snow” from “Lovely Runner” and “But It’s Destiny” from “Crash Landing On You”. Then followed by his original hit songs “What The Spring?” and “Phonecert” which the crowd really get hyped off as her takes a step down the stage to meet his fans up close and personal. He finally capped off his set with the ballad “Tell Me It’s Not A Dream” from “Queen of Tears”.

10cm did an unplugged encore performing song requests from the crowd like his version of “Tiramisu Cake” and his hit song “Americano” to name a few. 10cm closes the encore with the song “Sseudam Sseudam” as the crowd sang along to cap off the show.

It was a night that catered both the fans of his own music and his K-Drama OSTs. No song left unturned and everyone heard all the hits that needs to be heard. It was a delight to be part of this wonderful show that takes us back from 2010s to the present.

The show is presented by Cornerstone Entertainment.
