10CM and Kim Hyun-jung will appear as original singers on JTBC's music entertainment program 'Hidden Singer 8.' With the official confirmation of these two artists ahead of the broadcast in the first half of this year, interest in the program has increased even more. 10CM and Kim Hyun-jung, known respectively for their unique vocal tones and as icons of the 1990s Korean music scene, are expected to contribute to expanding the program's spectrum.

This season has already revealed a lineup of original singers spanning various genres and generations, including Shim Soo-bong, Ha Hyun-woo, Lee Seung-gi, and Younha. 10CM, who was considered a difficult artist to appear due to his "hard-to-imitate voice," expressed strong confidence about his participation. In the teaser video, he said, "My long-cherished wish as a singer to appear on Hidden Singer has come true," and added, "I've never seen anyone who imitates me even remotely well." He also provoked the imitators' determination with the challenging remark, "Do your best! You won't succeed."

Kim Hyun-jung, an artist with nearly 30 years of experience, expressed excitement about her appearance, saying, "It feels like I'm going to meet the 20-something Kim Hyun-jung again." She confidently added, "You have been enchanted by my songs," emphasizing, "My imitation should capture the old flavor." Highlighting her high notes and signature choreography, she encouraged the imitators by saying, "Let's break through the stage ceiling with the unique energy of those days."

Ahead of the 'Hidden Singer 8' broadcast, JTBC's official Instagram will hold a 'Listening Evaluation Event.' This event features question creators including Shim Soo-bong, Kim Jang-hoon, Younha, Davichi, Lee Hae-ri, IU, and Lim Young Woong, and operates by having participants listen to the revealed audio and guess which number corresponds to the real singer. The event runs from February 17 to March 2, and prizes will be awarded to selected participants through a drawing. This event offers viewers the chance to become a 'Hidden Judging Panel' themselves, providing an opportunity to experience the tension and fun of the program in advance.

With the participation of 10CM and Kim Hyun-jung, 'Hidden Singer 8' has become an even more anticipated program. They are expected to engage in fierce battles with imitators through their distinctive vocal tones and singing abilities. Imitators can apply through the official JTBC 'Hidden Singer 8' website. The competition that will unfold on the show is expected to attract significant attention.
