10CM Kwon Jung-yeol opened the new season through the KBS late-night music talk show 「'The Seasons-10CM's Patting'. As the new host of the eighth season, he expressed his ambition to provide warm comfort and fresh stage to viewers by utilizing his color as a musician who crosses music and entertainment.

At the KBS Art Hall in Yeongdeungpo-gu, Seoul on the morning of the 5th, MC Kwon Jung-yeol, bandmaster Jeong Dong-hwan (MeloMance), producer Choi Seung-hee, producer Son Ja-yeon, and producer Choi Ji-na attended the production presentation of 'The Seasons-10CM'.

The Seasons is KBS's late-night music program in which top Korean artists, including Park Jae-beom, Choi Jung-hoon (Jannabi), Akmu, Lee Hyo-ri, Zico, Lee Young-ji, and Park Bo-gum, have been hosting the show in relay since 2023. 10CM (10cm), who was selected as the MC of the eighth season, made a surprise announcement on August 10 at the encore stage of the solo concert '5.0', drawing hot attention.




In particular, 10CM is the artist who has recorded the most appearances in the entire series of 'Yu Hee-yeol's Sketchbook' and 'The Seasons', adding to the meaning of linking the program's tradition and value in this season. He said 'Hug me', 'Do you like spring??', It was loved as a hit song such as 'Phonecert', 'Patam', and 'Gradation', and established itself as the headliner of a music festival and the number one guest for a performance. Recently, he has been receiving favorable reviews from listeners with the release of his fifth studio album, the double title song 'Love Is Six Lines' and 'Monday Is Coming(Feat. BIG Naugty)'.

Kwon Jung-yeol first confessed honestly that he feels burdened as a host following actor Park Bo-gum. He thinks he is vulnerable in every way compared to Mr. Park Bo-gum. However, since he is an incumbent musician who has been on this stage for a long time, I think he will be able to stroke the hearts of the singers more than anyone else." Recalling the first recording, "It was full of tension and excitement from the waiting room on stage to the end of the shoot. Thanks to the audience, the production team, and the cast, we were able to wrap it up happily," he said.

Producer Choi Seung-hee said of casting Kwon Jung-yeol "It was a natural choice. As an artist recognized for his musicality and a popularly loved musician, he was the No. 1 MC. In the recording, he showed more than ten performances and did not spare himself. I think this is going to be the most musically rich season" showed confidence.

But thanks to the support of the production team and the fans, we are taking responsibility," he said, expressing an extraordinary sense of responsibility. As for the background of the program's name 'Patting', 'Good job to the viewers during the late night hours ' contains the meaning of delivering the message.'

Melomance Jung Dong-hwan, who was working together, thought "What was to come has come. 10CM and Melomance have similar growth stories. I'm glad to be with my respected senior." As for the first breath, I was surprised to see a senior who was nervous when I saw only a strong figure dominating the stage. I can't wait to see how he will grow at the end of the season," he said.

Kwon Jung-yeol mentioned Jang Beom-jun and Lee Moon-se as artists he wanted to serve. Although he has never been with Jang Bum-joon on TV, he is an artist he is close to and respects. Lee Moon-se said, "There are a lot of things I want to get advice, and I think just appearing on the show will cheer me up." Jeong Dong-hwan said, `I really want to bring classical musicians Lim Yoon-chan and Cho Sung-jin' and Sohn Ja-yeon and Choi Ji-na, PD, `I really want to bring Kim Dong-ryul and Brown Eyed Soul.' I want to create an opportunity to give a performance to rookies who start music," he added.

Producer Choi Seung-hee said, `Through Kwon Jung-yeol's arrangement and interpretation, we will be able to show idol performances with new colors. The conversation between musicians is different in depth. I hope that I will be able to perform well as I am back in the 10 o'clock time zone."
