During a previous interview, the artist shared his excitement about the upcoming concert and the possibility of performing Original Pilipino Music (OPM) songs. He also mentioned that the setlist would include tracks that resonate with Filipino audiences, particularly his well-loved K-drama OSTs.10CM&rsquo;s connection with the Philippines deepened after he collaborated with Filipino singer-songwriter TJ Monterde. Their duet of TJ&rsquo;s hit song &quot;Palagi&quot; at the Wish 107.5 Roadshow highlighted 10CM&#39;s fondness for the Filipino music scene. &ldquo;I really liked TJ&rsquo;s song &lsquo;Palagi.&rsquo; That&rsquo;s why I even made a cover,&rdquo; said the 41-year-old singer, who plans to explore further collaborations with Filipino artists.10CM hinted at a potential future collaboration with another Filipino artist, Zack Tabudlo. &quot;If not TJ, I want to collaborate with Zack Tabudlo because his songs are really good and suit him,&quot; he shared, referencing Tabudlo&rsquo;s hit song &quot;Pano,&quot; which he has also covered.When asked about his creative process, 10CM explained, &quot;First of all, I make a melody using a guitar. After that, I come up with the lyrics and then I&rsquo;ll give it to the band and producers so they&rsquo;ll edit and master it.&quot; For Korean dramas, he often aligns his music with the storyline to ensure that it complements the drama&rsquo;s concept.Looking back on his career, 10CM attributed his success to his relentless work ethic and his desire to connect with his fans. &quot;I&rsquo;m the type of person who does not look for a break time. I always want to be preoccupied with a lot of things. And I&rsquo;m really eager for love. I want to receive as much love from fans as possible,&quot; he said.As 10CM prepares for his Manila concert, he expressed his gratitude to his Filipino supporters. &quot;Thank you so much for all the support you give me as international fans, especially Filipino fans. I hope from now on, there will be more opportunities for me to come to the Philippines,&quot; he shared.Tickets for the&nbsp;Closer To You concert are available through TicketWorld and Newport World Resorts.
