Singer 10CM (Kwon Jeong-yeol) secured the final victory after a fierce competition with vocal impersonators.

In the sixth episode of JTBC's variety show 'Hidden Singer 8,' which aired on the 5th, 10CM, known as an 'indie idol,' appeared as the sixth original singer and claimed the ultimate win, proving himself to be the owner of a unique vocal tone.

10CM, whose voice is as unique as a fingerprint, received zero votes in Rounds 1 through 3, where the panel had to guess the impersonator, but predicted 99 votes in Round 4, where they had to identify the original singer, showing confidence from the start. His close friends, Go Young-bae of Soran and Lee Won-seok of Daybreak, stated they would pay a 500,000 won fine per round if they failed to guess correctly, hinting at a high accuracy rate.

Upon hearing the Round 1 song 'Love at the Galaxy Cafe,' 10CM boldly declared, "This is a song only I can sing," raising expectations for the stage against the impersonators. However, once the singing began, impersonators who replicated his voice 100% appeared, causing confusion among the Hidden judges as Go Young-bae and Lee Won-seok split their opinions. After Round 1, 10CM appeared on his knees, expressing concern: "I feel like a singing technique that can achieve this level of vocal replication has emerged."

Round 2 featured 'Reach for You,' a song covered by many stars including Joo Woo-jae and Tour. Watching the performance, Lee Won-seok exclaimed, "(10CM) must have practiced a lot. He sings exactly as the recording does," expressing admiration. However, 10CM remarked, "The opening verse is hard to distinguish with unique characteristics. I was truly confident if it were the chorus," showing some regret, but soon secured first place and advanced to the next round.

In Round 3, the stage featured 'Stalker,' a midnight lullaby and 10CM's favorite song. 10CM and the impersonators created a perfect harmony, completing a legendary performance. Song Hae-na mentioned she often listened to this song while hosting a dating show, saying, "I actually understand the emotions and anger of nerd guys. This round is mine," but ultimately failed to guess the correct answer during the voting, later exclaiming, "There was a bit of obsession with (10CM's) voice," which triggered laughter.

In the final Round 4, 10CM and the impersonators faced off with 'Gradient.' The performance, sounding as if sung by a single voice, surprised everyone once again. Amidst this tense atmosphere, even Go Young-bae, the co-composer of the song, and Kang Jae-jun, 10CM's 'true fan,' failed to identify 10CM. Ultimately, the final victory went to 10CM. He shared his anxious feelings, saying, "I actually thought I would lose. I was wondering how to congratulate the impersonator."

As such, the 10CM episode offered a healing time for the ears with legendary performances across genres, from acoustic to rock and ballads. Furthermore, both the original singer and the impersonators kept not only the Hidden judges but also the viewers on the edge of their seats, creating an immersive stage where the outcome remained unpredictable until the very end.

Meanwhile, Ha Hyun-woo of Gukcasten, known as the orchestra leader of Korean music and boasting an unlimited vocal range, will appear as the seventh original singer. 'Hidden Singer 8' airs every Tuesday at 8:50 p.m.
