Is there a singer with such a conscience? 10cm's Kwon Jung-yeol confessed that his vocal condition was poor and stepped forward to refund the full ticket price for a concert that had already ended.
The agency posted a notice on its official channel on the 14th saying, "We inform you regarding ticket refunds for the 2026 10CM Asia Tour 'To 10CM: Chapter 1' in Singapore."
A concert official explained the situation at the time, saying, "On the day of the concert, his vocal condition suddenly deteriorated and he received treatment from local medical staff," and "For the fans who were waiting for the concert, the artist chose to proceed with the performance as scheduled."
However, the agency said, "We deeply apologize to the fans who waited for the Singapore concert for not being able to present a fully realized stage in the best condition," and announced the decision to refund the full concert ticket price.
It added, "Moving forward, we will closely check the artist's condition together with medical staff and prioritize health and safety," and said it would do its best for a quick recovery.
10cm is currently conducting the Asia tour 'To 10CM: Chapter 1.' The tour began with a Seoul performance and is scheduled to visit Busan, Bangkok, Singapore, Taipei, Tokyo, Hong Kong, and conclude with a finale in Daejeon.
This concert has been presented as a meaningful tour looking back on 10cm's musical journey and expressing gratitude to fans who have been with him for a long time. However, at the Singapore concert, Kwon Jung-yeol performed despite not being in good vocal condition, making it difficult to deliver the same level of performance as usual.
Deciding to refund the full amount after the concert has already ended is a burdensome choice for the agency, but 10cm's side appears to have made the bold decision considering the disappointment fans may have felt.
When this news was reported, netizens responded positively, saying, "Kwon Jung-yeol is truly a conscientious singer," "It's not an easy decision to refund the full amount for a concert that's already over," and "You can feel he cares about the fans."
