Korean singer 10CM has unveiled a new track from his upcoming album in a promotional video for the 'ATA (Asia Top Artist) Festival 2025'. The song, 'Love is Six Strings', was first introduced to the public several years ago and tells the story of serenading a loved one with the strumming of a guitar's six strings.
In an interview video released on the morning of the 16th via ATA Festival's Instagram, YouTube, and X (formerly Twitter), 10CM was asked to give a sneak peek of a new song from his album. Initially flustered, he responded, "Uh, uh, how much? How much should I do?" before serenading with the lyrics, "Love is six strings~ inevitably busy~".
The song, familiar to 10CM's dedicated fans, will be included in his upcoming fifth album, marking his first full-length release in eight years. The album is set to drop later this month.
10CM is scheduled to perform at the 'ATA Festival 2025', a global music event taking place at Hangang Nanji Park on September 27-28. The first day (September 27) will feature performances by 10CM, Kyungseo, Park Hye-won, Say My Name, Lee Mu-jin, Jannabi, Peppertones, H1-KEY, and Hwang Garam. The second day (September 28) will showcase The Boyz, Bad Villain, Eunice, QWER, Cravity, TWS, 82Major, Fifty Fifty, and Ha Sung-woon.
The ATA Festival promises a diverse lineup of artists, offering an event that can be enjoyed by all ages. In addition to K-pop performances, attendees can experience various aspects of Korean culture, including K-food, K-beauty, and K-fashion.
