Last week,
at the beginning of autumn,
he sealed his fourth victory in a row...
with his soulful voice and sensitivity.
The 39th King of Mask Singer, I'm Excited Hurray Radio.
(I'm Excited Hurray Radio)
(It's nice to meet you.)
(You look great.)
He looks good.
It is autumn already.
Like a cool autumn breeze in the morning and night,
we will please your eyes and ears with great songs.
I am your unbiased show host, Kim Seong Ju. It's nice to meet you.
(Your unbiased show host, Kim Seong Ju)
Last week, I'm Excited Hurray Radio managed to stay...
on the throne, sealing his fourth victory in a row.
Please say hello to those who are watching our programme.
(Tuning the radio)
(Checking the microphone)
(Tuning to say hello to the viewers)
He's tuning the radio.
It depends on the time of the day.
(Is there some interference?)
- It's taking too long. - A starry night.
(Crackling)
(Poor signal reception?)
Hello, it's I'm Excited Hurray Radio. It's nice to meet you.
(I'm I'm Excited Hurray Radio.)
(Welcome.)
We will have the 40th King of Mask Singer soon. How do you feel?
I'm nervous as always.
What...
was your question?
- I asked how you are feeling now. - Okay.
It feels like I'm making happy memories whenever I come here.
I will try my best to make happy memories...
with you today.
Okay. Hurray Radio is seeking his fifth win today.
I look forward to seeing his performance.
Gu Ra, do you want to say something conventional?
- Something conventional? - Conventional?
He tunes the radio to the MBC Radio all the time.
In fact, they are reorganising the radio programmes in MBC.
- Really? - He should be very careful.
(Surprised)
I don't think he has a lot of people around him.
You think?
- He pretended to tune the radio. - Yes.
I guess no one is telling him to stop it.
If he had some good people around him, they'd have stopped him.
He needs someone to stop him,
but all he has around him are some treacherous people.
- They do nothing but praise him. - Right.
If I were his friend, I'd have told him to stop that.
Hurray Radio, didn't anyone give you such advice?
My friends told me it was very funny.
- I see. - I knew it!
He only has some treacherous people around him.
(In his waiting room)
(He is practising his greeting.)
A starry night.
- That's very funny. - I know.
(It is the best.)
I was not sure if it was good.
But people seemed to like it.
Listen.
You should change your manager and stylist.
(His stylist is shivering.)
- I was just kidding. - He was kidding.
(You are the best!)
Okay. I was very surprised...
to see today's lineup.
We have eight new masked singers today.
(Very excited)
Seong Ju.
- Is there a big shot? - Sorry?
- Is there a big shot? - How could you say that?
I'm not sure if I can say they are big shots.
If I should use the words "big shots" for them,
How many of them?
We have 3 or 4 big shots.
(Wow)
- 3 or 4? - We have 3 or 4 big shots.
- Are you sure? - We even have the biggest shot.
- The biggest shot? - Right.
Get ready to be shocked.
The mysterious music show, King of Mask Singer. Let me introduce...
the first group for Round One.
(The first group for Round One)
(King of Mask Singer)
The first match of Round One.
The voice of truth singing about hope.
Skinny Redhead Anne with Freckles.
(Skinny Redhead Anne with Freckles)
(She walks merrily down the path filled with flowers.)
She is pretty and good at singing.
Hello.
(It's nice to see you. I'm Anne.)
(She is Anne.)
She looks so cute.
- She's cute. - She looks refreshing.
Does she have red hair?
- I guess not. - No.
Her opponent is...
a girl with a clear voice like Mother Nature.
Heidi, Girl of the Alps.
(Heidi, Girl of the Alps)
(She comes on the stage with a springy step to a yodel.)
I will sing with a clear voice...
from the Alps.
(Shouting with excitement)
(I'm tired. You should walk now.)
(What is that?)
(Barking)
Is it a real puppy?
It's barking.
Masked singers coming on the stage.
I guess the first match will be refreshing.
They are cartoon characters.
(The cartoon characters are singing together.)
They look feminine.
(They appear on the stage with all eyes upon them.)
It is a match between cartoon characters.
- Wow. - Gosh.
(They are wearing the costumes for their characters.)
(The audience greets them with hearty cheers.)
I think the masked singer on the right is an idol singer.
- I agree. - Right.
- She seems to be very fit. - Right.
- And she seems to have dark skin. - I think so.
(They've found many clues already.)
(They are trying hard to figure out who they are.)
(It is time to listen to their voice.)
(What song are the cartoon characters singing...)
(in the first match?)
(Dancing gently)
- What song is this? - It's "Pink Lipstick".
I see.
("Pink Lipstick" by Kang Ai Li Ja)
(She sings with a cheerful voice like the cartoon character.)
(She's cute.)
(She's singing with her cute dance.)
(Her singing makes people happy.)
(She is cute.)
(Wow)
(She sounds shy and gentle.)
(Her voice sounds sweet like a cartoon theme song.)
(I like her voice.)
(People will never get tired...)
(of listening to her warm comforting voice.)
(She is so cute.)
(Her every gesture catches people's eyes.)
(Anne's voice embraces Heidi's distinctive voice.)
(They both are so cute.)
They are cute.
(See you later.)
(She is an idol singer.)
(Her voice sounds familiar.)
(Her voice sounds good for "Pink Lipstick".)
(She sounds pure and sentimental.)
(Wow)
(Waving her hand)
(She is as cute as a princess in a fairy tale.)
(Tonight)
(For you)
(Anne and Heidi are singing...)
("Pink Lipstick" together with their sweet voice.)
(Good job, Heidi.)
(You, too.)
(The first song, "Pink Lipstick" made everyone smile.)
We are off to a good start.
(The panellists are putting a big smile on their faces.)
That was cute.
They look so pure like young kids.
I feel like a child again.
The first match of Round One is over.
Number one is Skinny Redhead Anne with Freckles.
Number two is Heidi, Girl of the Alps.
Who will win...
more votes?
All votes are in.
Young Seok put on a big smile even before they started singing.
Let's hear his opinion.
- He was smiling the whole time. - I know.
- He must have been very satisfied. - It seems so.
- I'm very satisfied. - I see.
They were so cute and beautiful.
Your outfits and voices were...
perfect for this song, "Pink Lipstick".
In terms of the character,
Redhead Anne has...
a playful and unique character.
- That's right. - On the other hand,
Heidi, Girl of the Alps has...
- a warm, stable personality. - Yes.
However, their singing styles were the exact opposite.
Heidi sang the song...
very simply without dragging for a long time,
(Unlike Heidi in the book, )
(her voice was breezy and playful.)
Redhead Anne, on the other hand,
winded up the song nicely...
with a lot of vibratos.
(Unlike Redhead Anne in the book, )
(her voice was calm and soft.)
You mean their singing styles were...
opposite to the characters described in the books.
Even though both of them are not professional singers,
their song was quite unique.
You think both of them are not professional singers.
I don't agree.
You said there are some big shots.
You're talking about big shots I mentioned earlier.
- I think they are the ones. - Do you think so?
I think so.
She's like the promotional doll put in front of the gas station.
- Are you talking about Heidi? - Yes.
Like a metronome,
she meticulously danced to the beat.
Is that a sort of craftmanship?
- Also, - That's her style.
She's wearing...
- flats. - Yes, flats.
She's tall even when she's wearing flats.
- Right. - She's quite tall.
- She wore flats to seem smaller. - She must be more than 170cm.
She's not shorter than you,
so she must be over 170cm.
- She's almost 180cm. - Also, her figure suggests...
- to me... - Yes.
(Don't assume I am too short.)
that she could be someone I know.
- Is that so? - Who is it?
- You have someone on your mind. - Isn't her voice unique?
- I've heard that voice a lot. - She is...
- an entertainer... - Yes.
- who used to sing. - An entertainer who used to sing?
I believe that she could be Hyun Young.
No, you're wrong.
She doesn't have the nasal sound.
- My tone of voice is high, - It's high.
So it lightens up the atmosphere.
- The panellists for today's show... - She's Hyun Young...
with a lot less nasal voice.
- She reduced the voice on purpose. - Exactly.
- Everyone, - She could reduce the voice, then.
You haven't talked to her in person.
Her real voice isn't so nasal.
She exaggerates it on shows.
She told me recently...
that she's tired of speaking with the nasal voice.
I think she's older than...
Hyun Young.
- I though so, too. - I mean,
she looks like a mother...
who worked out really hard.
- She seems a little bit old. - I agree with him.
She acts cute,
but it's too much.
Also, when Young Seok said...
that he enjoyed the refreshing stage very much,
young people should have bowed...
like this. But she did like this.
That's right.
I saw her...
- experienced and graceful bow. - Did she really do that?
Yes. That's why I think...
she released an album a long time ago.
Is there anyone beside Hyun Young?
- The initials are P, - P.
- M... - M.
- and S. - It's PMS.
PMS.
Who is it? Is it Park Mi Sun?
- She couldn't be her. - Come on.
Mi Sun released a trot album.
Mi Sun's body...
lacks nerves.
- Does her body lack nerves? - Yes.
What do you mean?
(This scene has now become a legend.)
(They are all stiff, but Mi Sun is especially stiffer.)
Now, stop.
She can't even move her hips like this.
Mi Sun can't even do that.
Now that you've said it,
- Mi Sun is bad at body waves. - Because she is a terrible dancer?
Can we see her body waves?
- Her body waves, you mean. - Yes.
(Let us see.)
This will be a nice hint.
Can we see a bit? Okay.
We'll see how flexible she is.
Please show us your body waves.
(Oh, my gosh.)
(She dances awkwardly.)
(They are all shocked.)
- Is she this stiff? - What is that?
- Isn't she flexible? - I'm suspicious.
- How was she? - She's terrible.
I see the mask after I saw the dance...
and find Lee Bong Won's face in it.
- Couples look alike. - I see Bong Won's face.
We have Hyun Young and Mi Sun.
Let's hear Jang Hyuk's opinion.
- My opinion for Heidi's different. - Heidi.
She exhales heavily,
so the voice sounds husky. That kind of voice is...
very pleasing to listen to.
There's much breathing. If she's not young,
she wouldn't be able to...
- have that kind of sound. - I agree with him.
The experts' opinion is different.
- She might be in her 30s... - 30s.
- and an actress. - An actress.
- She's an actress. - Yes.
As for Redhead Anne,
the voice didn't sound like her real voice.
It's difficult to judge...
because many singers hide their voices so well.
As she proceeded, the voice got more and more stable.
When she sang the line...
- "him", - Yes.
The vibrato was so accurate.
(I have to let go)
(of him)
The vibrato would have been difficult to sing...
unless she was a singer.
So I think she could be a singer.
You listened to one line...
and could guess so much.
The experts' opinions differ.
I wonder what Hyun Chul would say.
The question is whether they are currently singing...
or sang a long time ago.
That's the question,
but I think they are both singers.
Redhead Anne...
is hiding...
her real voice and skill.
We don't know much about her...
because of that.
As for Heidi,
she's not withholding anything.
- Heidi hid nothing. - She didn't hide anything.
- She showed her style. - She was quite frank.
- There was nothing hidden. - Nothing.
She's very confident. She may be the person...
who'll sing whenever she's asked to.
She has such capacity.
As for Redhead Anne,
she made a gesture every two beat.
One, two, three, four. One, two, three, four.
- Every two beat. - However,
Heidi made a gesture...
for every beat.
One, two, three, four. One, two, three, four.
Her rhythm doubled.
- Right. - It suggests...
that Redhead Anne could be a little older.
You could see that.
Now, many of you talked...
a lot about their age.
They will reveal their age...
by dancing.
As their specialities,
they wrote dancing.
Heidi's dance goes with her mask.
It's "shy girl dance".
Music, please.
(Can she dance better than before?)
Shy shy shy.
(The dance isn't so bad so far.)
(Not going so well)
- She dances well. - She's bad at dancing.
She's a terrible dancer.
(She's not an idol.)
Here comes the climax.
(Not too soon)
Here we go.
(Here we go.)
Show your talent.
Cheer up, baby.
(She's bad at dancing, but so cute.)
(She's sexy.)
(She tries to be sexy, but it's only cute.)
It's so entertaining. Okay, stop here.
It was the "shy girl dance".
(I made it.)
Maybe it's my bias talking,
but she seems old.
Because from the beginning,
she couldn't put her fingers together.
- You must be mistaken. - When she danced to "I'm sorry",
When I saw her, she put her fingers together.
When she danced to "I'm sorry" part, she kept making mistakes...
and just folded the fingers.
You can't see well through the mask.
- You have to see first. - Right.
You can't put the fingers together with your eyes closed.
- You haven't worn the mask. - Please pay due regard.
Redhead Anne...
will show her dance, too.
The title of her dance is...
"Dance Full of Vibes". Music, please.
(Oh, gosh.)
(Completely changed)
Oh, gosh.
(She's extraordinary.)
Who would think her as a woman of 40s?
(Who said that?)
(She's as good as a professional dancer.)
Somebody should stop her, please.
(I don't know what to do.)
She's so full of vibes.
(Why don't you recognise me?)
She doesn't know what to do.
Well done, well done.
Yoon Mi, can you think of anyone...
of your age?
Redhead Anne's posture...
when she's standing is...
like that of a dancer who used to major in Korean traditional dance.
An actress who has many talents...
and is also a great singer is Ye Ji Won.
- She... - Ye Ji Won?
She is an amazing dancer.
She's a great singer as well.
Is it Ms Ye?
(She's a talented singer.)
(She's an amazing dancer as well.)
- She came across my mind. - Ye Ji Won.
- What about Heidi? - Heidi's arms are...
a lot more tanned than her neck.
I'd guess she works out a lot.
- She might be a tennis player. - A tennis player?
- Do you mean Jeon Mi Ra? - I'm guessing...
- from her physique. - Jeon Mi Ra?
(As a former tennis player, she's now a tennis commentator.)
It's your turn to receive the ball.
(She has appeared in many shows with her husband, Yoon Jong Shin.)
She's very slender and very talented.
Her voice is...
I can see her muscles even from here.
- She must work out a lot. - Regularly.
She must do a lot of sports.
Let me give you one more hint.
Heidi says...
she can describe proverbs with body language.
They did it a lot on "Family Entertainment".
Please describe the first proverb.
All right.
Which proverb could it be?
How would we know?
- Water... - "A dragon rises from a stream?"
That's correct. "A dragon rises from a stream."
"A dragon rises from a stream."
- He's definitely a strategist. - Strategist Yu.
- He's surprised himself. - How did you know that?
- She didn't do anything. - How did I know that?
It didn't look like a dragon at all.
It looked like a lizard.
(It's a stream.)
(It is a dragon.)
- All right. - Let us try one more time.
This is the last one. It's difficult.
Please describe the last proverb.
"A dog chases a chicken..."
"A dog chasing a chicken stares at the roof."
- That's correct. - That's easy.
All right.
You shouldn't have barked. That made it too easy.
It means she did a good job.
Please start.
(She mimics the sound of a chicken.)
(She barked, too.)
"A dog chases a chicken..."
(She gave them too many hints.)
It seems like she has kids.
- What makes you think so? - I have a hunch.
You do something like that when you play with kids.
You have to teach them proverbs, too.
Mi Ra has three children.
- Park Mi Sun has two. - Does she?
- I think she can do that well. - Look.
Mi Sun's children are in college now.
- Would she do that to her kids? - All right.
Let's find out if you guessed right.
Redhead Anne with a truthful voice...
versus Heidi with an innocent voice.
Let's find out which of the two...
is the winner of this match.
(A warm and soft voice)
(Redhead Anne with a deep voice)
(She's cheerful and cute.)
(Heidi, Girl of the Alps with a straightforward, clear voice)
The winner of this match...
who will move on...
to Round Two is...
- The winner is... - The winner is...
Redhead Anne or Heidi?
(It was a match between two girl characters.)
Who is the first winner...
of Round One...
who will move on to Round Two?
The winner is...
(Redhead Anne wins.)
Redhead Anne.
I knew it.
(They spring to their feet out of joy.)
(Heidi did a good job, too.)
(The result brings out different reactions.)
Redhead Anne beat Heidi...
by a big margin.
Redhead Anne, please get ready for the next round.
Please give her a big hand.
Redhead Anne is the winner.
(Careful steps)
Can I reveal my true colour now?
(Waves)
(I'll win Round Two, too.)
An actress, a singer, an athlete...
There were many different guesses.
Who is she?
We will reveal her identity with a solo performance...
she prepared for Round Two.
Please give her a big hand.
(Her identity will be revealed during the solo performance.)
I think both of them are singers.
- She must be in her 30s. - In her 30s.
- I think she's an actress. - An actress?
(She has a very flexible body.)
(She's a cute dancer.)
(She fascinated everyone.)
(Who is this lovely girl, Heidi?)
("You Let Me Go with a Smile" by Lee Eun Ha)
(Who is she?)
She sounds different this time.
(She sounds different from the previous song.)
Her voice changed so much.
(She sings like she's whispering.)
(Her voice is very soft.)
She has a beautiful voice.
(She has a comforting voice that speaks to the mind.)
(I love it.)
(She moves her body softly.)
(Who is she?)
(She sings in a simple, innocent style.)
(She puts her heart into every word.)
Now, Heidi, Girl of the Alps,
please take off your mask...
- and reveal... - It's this way.
Your face.
Please go to the back and reveal your face.
(The audience is shocked.)
She is...
They're surprised.
(Who is she?)
She is...
the actress with 32 years of experience, Bae Jong Ok.
She was Bae Jong Ok.
(Shocked)
I can't believe this.
(Actress Bae Jong Ok?)
She was Bae Jong Ok.
(Everyone's surprised at the veteran actress's appearance.)
She was the actress with 32 years of experience, Bae Jong Ok.
(I love you, Jong Ok.)
(Hello, I'm Bae Jong Ok.)
(It's nice to see you.)
(We've never seen her sing before.)
(This must be a dream.)
(The actress presents the audience with an amazing performance.)
Thank you.
(The actress presents the audience with an amazing performance.)
(The audience sends her their love.)
(You're amazing.)
Heidi's identity has been revealed.
It's been 32 years since her debut.
The veteran actress, Bae Jong Ok.
Please greet the viewers.
Hello.
It's nice to see you.
(She debuted at 22.)
(By appearing in "Our Paradise", "The Urbanites" and "Bowing Man", )
(she became a star of the 90s.)
(She's been acting in various dramas...)
(for decades.)
(The big-time actress Bae Jong Ok)
(She even pulled off a villain role in "Monster".)
(She always touches people's hearts with her acting.)
The audience mentioned so many names while guessing who you were.
I was so nervous that you might find out who I am.
- Your name wasn't mentioned once. - I know.
We never imagined she would come to our show.
(They can't believe it.)
- Everyone is so surprised. - I'm a big fan.
Aside from your great singing ability,
we haven't seen you...
being like a little girl on the dramas.
I played many fierce characters.
Now I want to play a role that is fun and cheerful.
I often tell that to others,
but no one listens to me.
They don't cast me for that kind of roles,
so I decided to come here to show them I can be cheerful.
You've invited a very special guest.
- You must've been so shocked. - Yes.
- I'm a big fan of her. - She's a very special guest.
(We never imagined it.)
Hyun Chul even said that she could be...
a professional singer.
- He's an expert and he said that. - I just...
want to say thank you.
- I practised for 2 months. - For 2 months.
I also practised dancing a lot.
I'm a bad dancer.
Did you learn even the simple moves?
I did.
She was fully prepared for our show.
- Seung Woo. You know her, right? - Yes.
I've been a huge fan of her since childhood.
My dad saw Jong Ok when she was young.
He said he saw the most beautiful woman in the world.
- Thank you. - He saw her when she was young.
Yes. I hope he will see today's show.
- I see. - I should text him.
All right.
Among the panellists,
DinDin seemed the most shocked.
Why were you so surprised?
When I saw her on the dramas, she always played a scary mum.
I never saw this cute side of her until today.
But when she revealed her face, she was smiling like an angel.
I got goose bumps all over.
I can't believe this.
There are many different sides of me...
as you all saw today.
I hope I can show the new sides of myself to you in the future.
All right. You took courage to come here today.
It was Bae Jong Ok who showed her...
lovely and cheerful side instead of charismatic side today.
- Please give her a big hand. - Thank you.
(We root for the beautiful challenge of Jong Ok, an amazing actress.)
If I ever miss an episode of King of Mask Singer,
I would go and ask people who the masked singers were.
I can't believe that I came and sang...
on the show that I like that much.
That's right. I almost said, "Hello, I'm Bae Jong Ok" with the mask on.
(She almost said her name.)
I was about to say my name, but I held it in...
and said my nickname instead.
I was startled.
(My heart almost dropped.)
I almost revealed myself.
(She almost spoiled it.)
At the end of every challenge, I always feel glad that I did it.
I think I can get a good night's sleep today.
This is the result of Round One.
Skinny Redhead Anne with Freckles defeated Bae Jong Ok...
and moved on to Round Two.
The second match of Round One.
His world-class voice spreads all over the world.
My Song Will Surprise You.
(My Song Will Surprise You)
My song will make you...
fall in love with me.
Who's that?
- The way he walks is... - He's like a hip-hop musician.
So cool.
His opponent...
has set his goal to the top.
Mountain Hiker Will...
Catch Up Soon.
(Mountain Hiker Will Catch Up Soon)
(He's being playful.)
I will keep walking towards the top.
(King of Mask Singer, wait for me.)
Let's go!
(Everyone is fussing over his appearance.)
He's so tall.
Maybe that's Jung Jun Ha.
You're right. I think it's him.
I think that's Park Sang Myun.
(He looks like Park Sang Myun.)
I think you're right.
(Everyone is looking forward to their stage.)
(What kind of stage...)
(did Mountain Hiker and Surprise You prepare?)
("Why Call Me" by Song Chang Sik)
(His enchanting voice makes you excited.)
(He's good.)
(From his delicate vibrato, )
(you can sense that he's an experienced singer.)
(He has a powerful voice that fills up the studio.)
(Who can it be?)
Gosh. He's great.
Wow.
(His charming husky voice...)
(captures your ears right away.)
(A clear and powerful voice)
(Who is he?)
(Surprise You sounds like a veteran singer.)
(He rules the stage with his confidence.)
(He also has a very emotional voice.)
I know who he is.
(They perk up their ears.)
(His voice somehow sounds familiar.)
(They recognise his voice.)
(Mountain Hiker has a familiar voice as well.)
He's a great singer.
(Who are they?)
(He points Bo Ra.)
(She points back.)
(Surprise You sings...)
(every note so delicately.)
(Mountain Hiker is excellent at expressing his feelings.)
(It was a refreshing and exciting version of "Why Call Me"...)
(sung by Surprise You and Mountain Hiker.)
(How exciting!)
(Everyone is giving them a standing ovation.)
- They sound like middle-aged men. - They're good.
I think I know one of them.
I think I know the man on the left.
I recognise his voice. I'll tell you later.
(Who do they think Surprise You is?)
The second match of Round One is now over.
Who will be the winner of...
this tough match?
All votes are in.
First of all, please say hello to the viewer.
Surprise You can go first.
Hello.
I'm My Song Will...
Gosh, that surprised me.
I'm My Song Will Surprise You.
- All right. - Nice to meet you.
He has so many surprising sides.
Hello.
I'm Mountain Hiker Will Catch Up Soon.
Okay. I guess you might see him often...
on the mountains.
Hyun Chul. What did you think of their stage?
I think both of them...
- are teachers. - Teachers?
- Yes. - That means...
you think they're very experienced.
- Would a teacher move like that? - A teacher wouldn't act so cheeky.
He walked like this when he came out.
Would a teacher be this playful?
- There are some who are. - I don't think they're teachers.
Mountain Hiker has...
an excellent...
husky voice.
He grinds his voice when he says "Why call me".
(Why call me)
He sings like this.
- He has a great husky voice. - He makes it husky when needed.
From that, I can tell he is an experienced singer...
- and a teacher. - A teacher.
He's a teacher.
- How about Surprise You? - Surprise You is...
an even more experienced teacher than Mountain Hiker.
A more experienced teacher?
Mountain Hiker would treat Surprise You...
like a teacher as well.
Surprise You is a teacher of Mountain Hiker.
Surprise You can freely control his singing...
in any way he wants.
He has full control over his singing.
Just like playing a guitar,
- he can control it freely. - Yes.
My father really liked him.
(His father liked him.)
- Hyun Chul's father... - Do you know who he is?
- liked him. - I know who he is, too.
- Do you know him? - I do.
- I thought only I knew. - I know who he is, too.
I think I often saw him standing with...
his hands put together like that...
on the ending scene of "Gayo Stage".
(Gu Ra saw him often on "Gayo Stage".)
- "Gayo Stage". - Right?
At the end of "Gayo Stage"...
(They all have their hands put together.)
(Typical pose in the 70s and 80s)
I don't think his watch...
goes well with his outfit.
I think so, too.
As he stubbornly wears the watch,
I think I know who he is.
I can give you a clue.
He is related to the galaxy.
The galaxy?
He has relevance to the galaxy.
- To the galaxy. - He has relevance to the galaxy...
- and sang "Flower Lady". - He sang "Flower Lady".
- He's good at singing pop songs. - Yes.
- I'm right about the galaxy. - Yes, that galaxy.
- He's good at singing pop songs. - He sang "Flower Lady".
- You'll be shocked to see him. - Is he too good to be there?
- Today's singers are amazing. - So amazing.
Oh, my gosh.
(Who could that amazing singer be?)
Brian, what do you think about them?
- I have no clue at all. - Really?
I think they made their debut...
while I was living in America.
- I don't think I know any of them. - Brian,
Surprise You...
has a lot of muscles.
How much do you have to exercise...
to get to those muscles? He has a lot.
His muscles are not made...
from working out.
He has those muscles...
from his living.
He got them from living.
- Did he get muscles from living? - I think so.
- He got them from cleaning... - Or carrying heavy things.
- Weeding or managing the house. - Weeding.
It seems like he got them naturally.
- They are from weeding. - He got them naturally.
- Not from working out? - No, not from working out.
- What? - Am I right?
Do you happen to help with house chores?
If I don't work everyday,
(If I don't work everyday, )
if I don't work everyday, I get smacked.
Really?
- At home? - Yes.
Your wife seems scary.
- She's stronger than me. - Is she stronger?
(Poor him.)
(We all know that's life.)
Your wife ran a restaurant at a shopping centre, didn't she?
Oh, my.
(He got caught.)
- Did she? - Don't answer if you don't want to.
He says he doesn't want to answer.
(I'll keep quiet.)
He was speechless.
I think he is really surprised.
Strategist Yu, let us hear what you think.
I think Surprise You...
is a senior singer,
He is a senior singer.
Jeon Young Rok.
Senior singer, Jeon Young Rok?
(He had a lot of female fans.)
He's remembered in history.
You think he might be Jeon Young Rok.
The audience reacts as you said that.
As for Mountain Hiker,
he kept putting his microphone in and out.
He doesn't seem to be nervous in front of the cameras.
I think he is Kim Soo Yong who has years of experience.
- Kim Soo Yong? - A comedian, Kim Soo Yong?
- A comedian. - Kim Soo Yong.
He's showing off his specialities.
I'll take care of it until the end.
(He looks similar.)
- He's not very flexible, though. - His head is as big as Soo Yong.
You might be right.
Lee Yoon Mi, who do you think they are?
In my opinion, even though he...
overacts a little bit,
he has a great sense of humour and a lot of specialities.
If feels very much like...
he is someone who does acting.
I think he might be an actor...
whose part was shouting or who did comedy.
- You think he's an actor. - Yes, who's a bit old...
- and starts with P... - And...
- S. - PSM?
- Yes. - I see.
- Who is PSM? - Park Sang Myun.
Park Sang Myun. I have...
- a feeling that... - Park Sang Myun.
- he's Park Sang Myun. - I see.
When are you going to get married?
Ask my fiance.
When are you going to...
It's working hour.
- He was in comedies, too. - I see.
- Many names are coming out now. - I know.
Let me give you some useful clues to help you guess who they are.
Mountain Hiker...
used to sing in a choir.
He used to be a baritone singer in the choir.
He says he can sing lower...
than other people.
- It's fun to watch the competition. - Where should we start?
You have to sing the starting note.
Do
I'm a very good show host.
You can start first, Mountain Hiker. Do.
Do.
Do Ti.
- La - La.
- So - So.
- Fa - Fa.
- Mi - Mi.
- Re - Re.
- Do - Do.
Wow. That's a very low tone.
- It sounds like a cave. - It was completely low.
- Do - Do.
- Do - Ti.
Ti.
La.
It sounds like you have phlegm. La.
- So - Wow.
- Wow. - Wow.
He finished singing sol.
(What's after sol?)
Fa.
What was that? You've been doing well.
- What do you think you are doing? - You should sing fa.
It was not right. Sing fa.
Fa.
(Laughing)
Let's say he did it. It's your turn.
Mi.
It's very low.
- Mi - Your turn. Re.
(How will he sing?)
Let him do it alone.
(Tell him to do it alone.)
- Now he is... - He is upset.
- Your voice isn't changed now. - He's upset.
- He is angry. - Mountain Hiker won.
Give him a big hand.
He can sing in a nice low tone.
- He's so good. - I have a feeling...
that Mountain Hiker is...
a dubbing artist by his voice and his body type.
- A dubbing artist? - A name that starts with A.
Did you just swear?
He might be Ahn Ji Hwan.
- Ahn Ji Hwan? - I think so.
The Knee Drop Guru, from now on...
let's find out things about Kim Gu Ra.
- We've heard of that voice a lot. - He might be Ahn Ji Hwan.
Let me give you more clues...
to guess who he is.
He will show you another speciality.
He's good at performing magic.
Use that information as well. See how good he is.
Isn't a beer glass or something going to come out?
(Oh, no.)
Don't be disturbed.
Aren't you going to take a beer glass out?
Can you explain what kind of magic you are going to perform?
A bottle of beer...
- I'm correct. - is going to come out.
Is a beer bottle coming out of this bag?
- Yes. I'll make the bottle... - Is an empty bottle coming...
- out of this empty bag? - disappear.
This magic performance is Mountain Hiker's speciality.
(Look at this carefully.)
It's an empty paper bag. Is he taking something out of it?
Is he taking something out?
It's a beer bottle. A beer bottle came out.
It's amazing. It really is.
(Look at this again.)
- It's crisps this time. - It's crisps.
- Crisps came out this time. - Is the bottle in there?
He took out crisps.
- The bottle is still in there. - It's great.
- So amazing. - Don't doubt him too much.
- A beer bottle and crisps. - Wow.
It's crisps.
Wow, the bag is empty.
- Wait a second. - It's gone.
Wait. Can you open that thing again?
- Can you open the crisps? - Don't you have two things in it?
Can you open the crisps to see inside?
Isn't it amazing even if the bottle's in here?
In this short amount of time? Can I see?
You can see inside.
- Can I see what's in it? - It's magic if the crisps are in it.
It's going to be surprising if a beer bottle is in here.
(Peeking)
(Surprised)
It scared me.
(Oh, my.)
(It was surprising.)
It's surprising.
(He is a talented magician.)
I nearly fainted.
- It was great. - You should've told me earlier.
This magic performance is his speciality.
(Give me a big hand.)
He is a very special person.
Now, I will announce the result...
of the second match of Round One.
Out of Surprise You and Mountain Hiker...
who had a tough match,
I'll reveal the winner.
Who will win?
(Surprise You has a powerful voice.)
(Mountain Hiker is very earnest.)
(Who will be the winner?)
The winner of the match...
is...
(King of Mask Singer)
The winner is...
(Who got more votes...)
(and will move on to Round Two?)
The voice you like more...
is...
now revealed. Who's the winner?
Please show us the winner.
(Surprise You won.)
Surprise You won.
- I knew it. - Wow.
Surprise You will move on to Round Two.
Surprise You beat Mountain Hiker.
(56 votes versus 43 votes)
It was 56 to 43. It was a close match.
Surprise You, you can go to prepare for the next match.
Please congratulate him by giving a big hand.
(Let's see who Mountain Hiker is.)
(Surprise You is exhausted.)
I'm so determined to do well in Round Two.
I might be surprised at my own performance.
Many people guessed who he could be.
Let's watch the solo performance he prepared...
as he reveals himself.
Please give him a big hand.
He has a gifted vocalisation.
He is very talented and funny.
(His amazing magic)
- Oh, my. - I think he is Kim Soo Yong.
- Park Sang Myun. - Park Sang Myun.
He might be a dubbing artist, Ahn Ji Hwan.
- Is he Ahn Ji Hwan? - I think so.
(Was his name mentioned?)
("I'm So Fortunate" by Lee Juck)
(He chose a sweet song unlike the duet performance.)
(Wow)
(He touches people's hearts with his sweet low voice.)
Wow, he has a resonant voice.
(His voice sounds familiar.)
(His captivating voice resonates through the air.)
(Who is the man with this sentimental voice?)
(Now, Mountain Hiker, )
Please take off your mask...
and reveal your face.
(Surprised)
He is...
(Shouting)
The scent of a man.
Is he Park Sang Myun?
(Who is Mountain Hiker?)
- Is he Ahn Ji Hwan? - He is...
Who is he?
He is...
a beloved dubbing artist with 24 years of experience, Ahn Ji Hwan.
(He is Ahn Ji Hwan, the dubbing artist.)
He is Ahn Ji Hwan.
(It turns out Gu Ra was right.)
I was right.
That's unbelievable.
(He made his debut as a dubbing artist in 1993.)
What is his problem? "I have too many dreams."
"Help me choose my dream."
How would the smelly kitchen be changed?
(He has worked in many programmes regardless of its genre.)
It's the journey to return to the innocence of childhood.
(With his friendly voice, he has laughed and cried...)
(with viewers in a lot of programmes.)
It was like attaching wings to Chun Doo Hwan.
It's nice to meet you. I'm Ahn Ji Hwan.
(I'm a dubbing artist, Ahn Ji Hwan.)
(I guess my voice sounds somewhat familiar to you.)
(He made his debut as a dubbing artist at the age of 25.)
(I've been with you for a long time in many programmes.)
(Today, I'm here as Ahn Ji Hwan singing on the stage...)
(without hiding my voice behind the screen.)
(How do you like my singing?)
(Thank you all for listening.)
(He sang "I'm So Fortunate" with a great voice.)
Please say hello to those who are watching our programme.
Hello, I'm a dubbing artist, Ahn Ji Hwan.
I think you'd make...
a good singer.
I have a karaoke machine at home.
I sing...
and play the guitar with it.
It's been 24 years since his debut.
What I remember about him...
is the beginning of "News Desk".
The parts where you read the headlines.
(With the thrilling music, he read headlines...)
(instead of reporters at the beginning of the news show.)
"Ahn Ji Hwan is appearing in King of Mask Singer."
"We will provide full coverage of it."
That's it.
Can you show us other things?
"What is the King of Mask Singer's concern?"
"People will remember my voice."
"Problem solved."
(Are we watching King of Mask Singer or "The Knee Drop Guru"?)
That's nice. In a way, we can say that...
dubbing artists are wearing invisible masks.
It feels like I'm appearing in King of Mask Singer all the time.
No matter...
what kind of programmes I record a narration for,
people can't get to see my face on TV.
In some ways,
dubbing artists are the leading characters of King of Mask Singer.
I see.
Good.
Please give your love and support to us.
Today, he showed off his real voice...
on the stage, not behind the stage.
I believe we could see Ahn Ji Hwan's true face today.
Please give him a round of applause.
- Thank you. - Good luck.
(We look forward to your future endeavours.)
(He leaves the stage with light steps.)
I was afraid if the panellists wouldn't recognise me...
when I took off the mask.
I was very nervous about that.
People don't know how dubbing artists look like.
Fortunately, all the panellists looked excited...
to see my face.
The panellists who were relatively old looked at me with a smile.
I've never showed my face in "The Knee Drop Guru" before.
I was glad to show that...
in front of many people today.
It meant a lot to me.
I will appreciate your continued love and support. Thank you.
(Thank you.)
My Song Will Surprise You defeated Ahn Ji Hwan...
and moved on to Round Two.
Right after this show ends, the online mobile survey...
on this week's masked singers by netizens will proceed.
Please join the survey.
We are having a duet match in Round One.
Let me introduce the third group to you.
(The duet match continues.)
The third match of Round One.
A romantic voice for his only love.
Bodyguard...
to the Rescue.
(Bodyguard to the Rescue)
(Keep your eyes forward.)
I will move your heart...
with my voice.
(Tall and handsome)
(He looks amazing.)
He looks like an actor.
Is he a model or what?
He's tall. I envy him.
His opponent is...
a woman with a shining voice.
Dia.
Sexy Diva.
(Dia Sexy Diva)
(She walks on the red carpet.)
I will shine like diamonds in your heart.
(I'm your diva.)
(She is beautiful.)
(She looks splendid.)
They both look amazing.
The mask looks like Oh Ji Ho.
He looks like Shim Shin.
I thought the same.
She's wearing a see-through skirt.
They look so good.
(They are Bodyguard and Diva.)
(All the expectations fall on their shoulders.)
(They are expecting a great performance.)
(He pulls off his sunglasses.)
(He did that so that he can read the lyrics on the prompter.)
(He looked so cool earlier.)
(Now he looks clumsy.)
("It's You" by Sung Si Kyung)
(With her clear voice like a bright bead, )
(she sends her greetings to Bodyguard.)
(Bodyguard returns his greetings with his warm voice.)
(This is nice.)
(They are stunned to meet each other again.)
(They wanted to see each other, even in their dreams.)
(They sing together with all their hearts.)
(Don't hesitate or hold back any more.)
(They confess their feelings by gathering heart.)
(Nothing can stop them.)
(It is a fated love of Bodyguard and Diva.)
(Admiring)
(It is a magical moment where they see each other again.)
(They express the heart-pounding moment with all their hearts.)
(Their stage depicts a separated couple's...)
(precious feelings on their encounter.)
(It was Bodyguard and Sexy Diva's beautiful love song.)
(Their performance was like a movie.)
Great job!
(Everyone is touched.)
It was beautiful.
They did a great job.
Who should we choose?
(This is hard.)
(It's over now.)
(He finally adjusts his sunglasses.)
The third duet performance of Round One is over now.
Vote number one for Bodyguard to the Rescue,
and number two for Dia Sexy Diva.
Which of these two masked singers...
will move on to Round Two?
All votes are in.
Young Seok, what did you think of their performance?
It was a beautiful performance.
When Sexy Diva started singing...
in that dress,
she looked like a white peacock spreading its wings.
She looked so glamorous.
Her voice is very glamorous...
yet soothing.
On the other hand, Bodyguard has...
a very warm voice...
like a cashmere cardigan.
His voice makes you feel the warmth of a cardigan.
He has a perfect pitch.
He's a great singer.
(Thank you.)
- What did you think, Jang Hyuk? - I...
When you sing in harmony,
it's hard to show off your own voice.
It's because you should be considerate to the other...
- while singing. - That's right.
None of these two...
tried to outdo the other.
Even their breaths were simultaneous.
I knew they practised a lot.
I could also see how hard they were trying to create a harmony.
Bodyguard's voice was like chocolate,
and Sexy Diva's voice was like milk.
It was chocolate and milk.
It became milk chocolate.
Their performance was sweet and soft like milk chocolate.
Also, I'm sure both of them are singers.
Although they didn't show off their real skills...
to create a harmony, they're definitely singers.
Is there any singer with that body?
- There is. - Among boyband members.
There's a band called KNK.
- I was thinking of them, too. - KNK...
- Bo Ra. - Because he's so tall.
- KNK... - There's a band called KNK.
(KNK is a new boyband.)
From his appearance, I was guessing he's from KNK.
Do you think he's from a boyband?
I think both of them are idol singers.
- Both of them? - Yes.
If the theme is "Bodyguard",
the performance should have involved more physical contact.
If they were experienced entertainers,
they would've made physical contact, but they didn't.
- While singing? - Because they're in idol bands,
they must have felt uncomfortable about it.
I have a different opinion.
- Do you? - There's a song I like...
- Do you have a different opinion? - Yes.
This time,
- their opinions differ. - He's disappointed.
- They definitely seem young. - They do.
I think they're both actors.
- Both of them? - Yes.
Guessing from...
Sexy Diva's beautiful voice,
I think she's So You from the band...
Bo Ra is in.
(Is Sexy Diva So You?)
So You...
He's been asking me if she's So You.
It's impossible I don't recognise her voice.
She has a different physique as well.
- Are you sure she's not? - I am sure.
Not many seem to notice it, but Brian and I thought...
Sexy Diva's pronunciation sounded like...
she lived abroad.
- She's from... - Her pronunciation wasn't perfect.
- Is she from another country? - Her pronunciation?
These days, many idol groups have foreign members...
- from China, Japan and so on. - Like Cheng Xiao.
She might be one of them.
Sexy Diva.
Can you say "a peck of pickled peppers Peter Piper picked"?
"A peck of pickled peppers Peter Piper picked."
It wasn't bad.
Now, Bodyguard and Sexy Diva will...
transform into Kevin Costner and Whitney Houston.
- And they will do a scene... - Will he carry her?
From the film "The Bodyguard".
(This scene has been parodied in many shows.)
(A beautiful actress faces a danger, )
(and her bodyguard tries to save her.)
(It's a great love story.)
(How will Sexy Diva and Bodyguard reproduce this scene?)
It's this scene.
When they're finished,
Se Chan will make a sound of a boat horn.
- A boat horn? - All right.
I'll do it when they're finished.
Start.
(The Masked Bodyguard)
Sexy Diva is singing.
(The bodyguard is guarding the singing diva.)
(I will always love you)
(Seong Ju is the villain.)
(Surprised)
There was a gunshot.
Sexy Diva collapsed.
"Wake up."
"You have to survive."
The bodyguard is crying.
Sexy Diva has collapsed. He doesn't know what to do.
He lifts her.
He has to carry her.
He's showing off. One...
(What's going on?)
(I can't send my diva like this.)
(Give me power.)
The boat horn.
(The King of Mask Singer ship departs.)
- Is someone's phone ringing? - Wrap up.
(A phone is ringing.)
It's vibrating.
- That's all. - That was perfect.
(It ended perfectly.)
- That was perfect. - Thank you.
- That was perfect. - It was nice.
I loved the boat horn at the end.
- It finished very well. - It did.
Did you see...
how Bodyguard didn't know...
what to do with his hands?
He seemed to be struggling.
That was a shame.
- I think they're in new bands. - New bands.
Gu Ra thinks they're a bit clumsy because they aren't experienced.
Bodyguard says he can show us his sword skills.
Can you show us? Please start.
(Fast)
That's amazing.
He's so fast.
(Don't you dare threaten my diva!)
There you go. He wants to...
protect Sexy Diva from her enemies.
(Jumping)
He's her bodyguard.
(Finished)
(He puts his sword back in.)
That's all.
He put his sword back in.
Your microphone is here.
Did your watch come off?
You need a lot of help.
(He's clumsy.)
For someone in a boyband, it might be intentional, but...
he's unbelievably clumsy.
- Do you think so? - In my opinion,
he might be actor Cho Yeon Woo.
Cho Yeon Woo?
(He's an actor with gentlemanlike manners.)
- Cho Yeon Woo? - He used to be a model.
He's very tall, and his body looks just like that.
- That's right. - He reminds me of Cho Yeon Woo.
Because he's so shy,
DinDin and I thought of someone.
- Who is it? - He's very clumsy, too.
Song Jae Hee.
Can't I meet him?
Your Majesty, it is done by courtesy.
Please control yourself.
- Song Jae Hee? - Yes.
They're now guessing he's an actor.
All right. Sexy Diva will...
show us sexy and funny dance.
Music, please.
She'll show us sexy moves now.
(She moves her arms.)
Oh, my.
(Gosh)
(Here we go.)
(This looks familiar.)
(It's Jang Do Yeon and Park Na Rae's dance.)
(Jang Do Yeon)
(Park Na Rae)
Jang Do Yeon, Park Na Rae...
That's all.
It wasn't something you can easily do.
She's dressed in sexy clothes,
but I think she'll be young beyond our expectation.
She looks like a girl.
- Do you think she's too cute? - Yes, she is.
- Cheng Xiao. - Yes.
Could she be someone...
you meet often while working?
- In my opinion, - Yes?
I have no idea yet. subtitles ripped and synced by riri13
- She said Sexy Diva has no idea. - No.
She received training for three years.
She's trying to say she's not sure yet.
That's right.
- Is that right? - She only focused on training.
- All right. - In my opinion,
she's definitely a singer.
Her voice is so clear. It's like sparkling soda to my ears.
If she was born with that voice,
she must be a singer.
Bodyguard must be around my age.
He's as old as you.
I saw that his back is...
bent quite a bit.
He's awkward and clumsy.
Judging from those facts,
I think he can be Gu Bon Seung, an actor and singer.
(He's a handsome actor and singer.)
(Is Gu Bon Seung Bodyguard?)
He is awkward...
and clumsy at everything, but he sings so well.
- Bon Seung. - Wow.
He feels a lot like Bon Seung.
They look similar.
The audience is going wild. It started from KNK...
and now moved on to Bon Seung.
- I think that he is Bon Seung. - Right, Bon Seung.
Bodyguard says...
that he is very good...
at serenades.
Let's hear his serenade.
(With a piano accompaniment)
- Gosh, he's good. - Wow.
(What's this?)
(It feels like we're in a nice café...)
(in the back alley of Champs-Elysees, Paris.)
Right.
He's good.
It's difficult to sing like him.
His French is exceptional.
He will sing one more song.
It's a Russian folk song.
You all may know this song.
Let's hear this Russian folk song.
(Everyone is excited to listen to his song.)
(This song is...)
("One Million Roses".)
(Speaking Russian)
He's so good.
(Speaking Russian)
(What is that?)
He's right. It's the correct lyric.
(He's even good at Russian.)
(The accompaniment accelerates.)
(Flustered)
(Singing incomprehensible lyrics)
(He's charmingly clumsy.)
(He beautifully winds up the song.)
Right.
(He's amazing.)
It's "One Million Roses" that we all know.
- Wasn't it great? - Was your Russian real?
- His Russian was good. - It's Russian.
- It was Russian. - Was it?
Was the pronunciation at the end Russian, too?
(Speaking Russian)
What did you say?
- You don't budge? - He spoke real Russian.
- What's wrong with your ears? - It was all Russian.
He sang in Russian.
He must have learned...
Russian or French in high school...
as a second language.
- What did you learn, Bong Sun? - I learned Japanese.
- Japanese. - Yes.
Could you speak a bit?
(I love you)
(Thank you.)
(I understand you.)
Okay, now.
I'll announce the result...
of the third match of Round One.
The result is...
nip-and-tuck.
The difference in their votes is...
only one.
(The difference is only one vote.)
(My goodness)
I'll announce the winner of this match...
who won by just one vote to move on to Round Two.
(The winner will be revealed.)
Who will be the winner?
(Will it be Sexy Diva with a clear voice...)
(or Bodyguard with mellow baritone?)
(They put on an amazing duet performance...)
(that made us smile the whole time.)
The winner of this match...
is...
(King of Mask Singer)
Let's go. Who is it?
Let's go.
Will it be Bodyguard or Sexy Diva?
(Or is it going to be Sexy Diva?)
(Who has the last one vote?)
Will it be Bodyguard or Sexy Diva?
Let's see the winner who won the match...
by just one vote.
(Sexy Diva is the winner.)
Sexy Diva is the winner.
(This is Diva's power.)
(Fans for Diva exclaim.)
(Fans for Bodyguard mourn.)
Diva!
I really wanted to see her face.
Sexy Diva is the winner.
She defeated Bodyguard by just one vote.
By just one vote.
She will move on to the next round.
Please go back to your waiting room. Please give her a big hand.
It was a very dramatic match. Just one vote.
(Walking carefully)
I trembled with tension.
I'll not be nervous and do well in Round Two.
I feel so sorry.
He lost to Diva by just one vote.
One vote.
Who will he be?
Let's see if he's the one you've guessed.
We will reveal his identity with his solo performance.
Please give him a big hand.
(His identity will be revealed in the solo performance.)
He has a warm voice.
He's awkward and clumsy...
but sings so well.
(But he had an unexpected side.)
(He's a smart man who is fluent in foreign languages.)
He's amazing.
(Who's Bodyguard?)
He's really good.
("Two People" by Sung Si Kyung)
It's Si Kyung's song.
(I love it.)
(His mellow voice pleases the ears.)
(He sings so well.)
(His sensibility captivates the audience's heart.)
(Gosh.)
(It feels like warm sunlight in autumn's breeze.)
(His voice whispers melody.)
(It's such a sweet confession.)
Now, Bodyguard, please take off your mask...
and reveal your face.
(Oh, my gosh.)
He is...
I'm going insane. Who is it?
Why? Who is it?
He shakes his head. He may be an idol star.
(Who are you?)
He is...
Kwak Hui Seong, a rookie actor.
(He's Kwak Hui Seong.)
(They welcome him passionately.)
He's Kwak Hui Seong.
I know him.
You've changed so much.
(He's the main character of "Love Rides the Song".)
- You're so pretty. - You said it's an important event.
Thank you for your consideration.
The father ordered murder to his son for a political purpose.
But now that the son's useless, he's getting rid of him.
I may not give you what you want.
(He starred in the drama "The Greatest Lover".)
(Kwak Hui Seong is a rising star.)
(He's handsome.)
(He captivates the female audience's heart.)
(Two of us)
It's even better to listen to his song without the mask on.
(He's been hiding his singing talent.)
(On today's stage, he reveals his talent.)
(He's so good.)
(It's a romantic confession...)
(sung with a calm and deep sensibility.)
(He captures the hearts of both men and women.)
(Hui Seong's version of "Two People" made them fall in love with him.)
You're so great!
He's so good.
He's a great singer.
I know.
Bodyguard was...
Kwak Hui Seong, the actor.
Please say hello to the viewers.
Hello. I'm Kwak Hui Seong. It's good to see you.
All right.
(Welcome.)
- Seong Ju. Seung Woo was... - Yes?
Very surprised to see him.
- I'm sorry. - How do you know Hui Seong?
I used to see him almost every day.
- We still meet very often. - Really?
Yes. We're in the same football club.
He's great at football.
- You didn't know he could sing. - He treats me to nice meals.
Did you know he could sing this well or not?
I knew he was good at singing.
I saw how he was acting and thought he looked like Hui Seong,
but I never thought it was actually him.
When he took off his mask, I recognised Hui Seong's chin.
Even before taking it all off, I screamed, "Hui Seong!"
I guess his chin is...
I have a jutting chin.
That's not what I mean. He has a muscular body, so...
Be quiet. We'll talk later.
(Seung Woo is worried.)
- Okay. He's muscular. - I'm sorry.
I heard you played the cello when you were young.
That's right.
I started playing the cello before I entered the elementary school.
That's why I went to Russia...
and also to France to study.
- It was to study cello. - Yes.
He went to Russia and France to study cello.
Why did you quit?
I fell down the stairs once.
I injured the little finger, and I couldn't hold the string.
- You couldn't hold the string. - No.
I thought about it for a couple of months.
I thought about why I had played the cello until then...
and whether I should keep playing it or not.
It was a hard time for me.
That's when I decided to be bold and try a new thing.
That's what happened.
I see. By the way, many panellists thought you were a singer.
- Right. - Were you always good at singing?
I studied music since childhood.
I came to this show to resolve...
my unfulfilled desire towards music.
I was so nervous.
I see. You're an actor now.
Yes. I've been an actor for five years now.
Sometimes people think I'm Kim Jae Joong.
They think you look like Jae Joong.
- Yes. Many people tell me that. - He does look like Jae Joong.
I wanted to use this opportunity...
to let people know who I am.
- I see. - I really...
listened to his song carefully from start to finish.
Whether you call him an actor or singer,
he's an all-around entertainer.
I thought he's someone that has passion for music...
- inside him. - I see.
- All right. - Thank you.
Gosh. He's right.
Today, he relieved his thirst for music...
and let the viewers know...
who Kwak Hui Seong is.
Please give him a big round of applause.
Thank you.
(I love you, Hui Seong.)
I'm sad it ended. I really am.
My mother majored in vocal arts,
and my father was influenced by her...
and loves music.
When I wake up in the morning,
my mother is always singing.
If I take after her, I would be a great singer.
But I take after my father.
That's why I'm not a very good singer.
I'm sorry, Dad.
It's an honour to be here...
on King of Mask Singer.
It was like a happy dream to me.
Dia Sexy Diva defeated Kwak Hui Seong...
and moved on to Round Two.
The last match of Round One.
Coming soon, it's going to be a big hit.
Millions of people await her fascinating voice.
Weekend Best Film, Cinema Paradiso.
This is paradise where you can hear my singing.
(She's as graceful as the heroine of the silver screen.)
(This is a good season to watch a film.)
(They're already excited to hear her great singing.)
Cinema Paradiso.
Gosh, she's sexy.
She looks like a great singer, right?
(They love her already.)
Her opponent has...
a mellow voice that excites all of your five senses.
Popcorn Girl Takes Your Order.
(She will pop like popcorn.)
The secret is my sweet voice.
Pop!
(The blockbuster stage is coming soon.)
(I can't wait.)
I want to eat popcorn. I'm hungry.
(They realise...)
(it's a match between women.)
This is exciting.
Gosh. They both look so feminine.
They're cute and beautiful.
(They make the stage look like a movie theatre.)
(Will it be comedy, romance, horror or sci-Fi?)
(How spectacle will their stage be?)
("Genie" by Girls' Generation)
(Her charming whisper fascinates you in an instant.)
(Sexy moves)
(Is she from Girls' Generation?)
(What?)
(Her voice sounds lively like popcorn.)
(Wow)
(The temptation of her sweet voice hits your ears.)
(Who is she?)
(It's getting exciting. Let's go!)
(No way.)
(What's your wish?)
(They look like they just came out of a magic lamp.)
(It's "Genie" of two charming girls.)
(She shows her sexy groove singing in her low voice.)
(Her refreshing voice makes you want to dance.)
(Yes!)
(Even with the fast rhythm, her singing never falters.)
(Their modest yet sexy dance will...)
(even heal an injured leg.)
(This is King of Mask Singer.)
(Tell me your wish.)
(I love this.)
(Her great sense of dynamics melts their hearts.)
(Popcorn Girl has a sweet and mellow voice like caramel popcorn.)
(Tell me your wish.)
(Shouting)
(He gets goose bumps.)
(It was a magical stage that showed a fantastic harmony.)
(You're the best, genies of the lamp.)
(It was the best.)
(Yes!)
It's my wish that their song won't end.
They're both great singers.
It's a close match.
They're great.
They're both master singers.
The last match of Round One is over.
Number one is Cinema Paradiso.
Number two is Popcorn Girl.
It is time to make your choice.
Your votes will open up a new doorway for the victory.
All votes are in.
It was such a passionate performance.
All the panellists rose from their seats...
to enjoy their performance.
I saw all of you...
vaulting out of your chairs and dancing.
(It was one of the happiest moments in his life.)
I recently heard Park Na Rae and Jang Do Yeon...
singing the song having a dinner together.
That's exhausting.
- They sang the song. - My ears hurt.
Yo can't get away from them.
Now that I heard them singing "Genie",
it feels like my ears are healed.
I see.
This is how you sing the song.
What they sang was like...
I guess it was even more moving because of the experience.
- Yes, it was the best. - I see.
Hyun Chul, you were watching them in admiration.
When they decided to sing "Genie"...
and met each other for the first time,
I guess they felt like this.
"We are doomed."
- Did they? - Yes.
I'm sure they thought they were doomed.
They just nodded at the same time.
They fought a war of nerves the whole time.
Please stand on the spots indicated.
(Having a war of nerves)
(It is fiercer than an actual competition.)
(I don't want to lose.)
(After a moment, )
(Cinema Paradiso starts dancing.)
(She's dancing.)
(They ended up dancing in unison out of rivalry.)
Their performance was...
like a battle between two female master singers.
"I will smash you down. You are dead."
It's not like this.
"You are here. You look good today."
- "Hello." - A war of nerves.
"I'm here. How have you been?"
Are you playing a double role?
- They smile at each other. - That's scary.
- They look so relaxed. - Are you playing a double role?
That's funny. She's playing a double role.
- It's not like a physical fight. - They have a battle with a smile.
It was like a battle between two master singers.
It felt like I was watching a music video.
They had to practise it in a short period of time,
but they sang in a perfect harmony.
It means they are good singers...
with great skills and powerful voices.
Cinema Paradiso is...
a soulful diva who is good at singing pop songs.
Popcorn Girl is a sentimental diva...
who is good at singing rhythm and blues songs.
And...
I'm sure she hid something.
She has something more to show us,
but she hid it.
Don't you think she showed her everything?
- No way. - No, she didn't.
- She did a very good job. - That's not it.
She looks like popcorn,
but she is a fried abalone inside.
A fried abalone?
That's what he ate at lunch.
- You just went too far. - He just said that.
She only showed us a grain of corn.
That makes sense.
It's not fried yet.
- She was like the caramel. - I'm just saying...
she has something different inside her.
(I clearly saw that.)
(I saw her hidden potential.)
(They will see that one day.)
(Smiling)
(That I was right.)
She has something inside her.
I don't think she showed it yet.
- I want to see that. - She didn't show her everything.
I enjoyed the performance very much.
- Thank you. - Thank you very much.
There is a saying that someone is the equal of 100 warriors.
I mean they were the equal of...
nine members of Girls' Generation.
I was very surprised to see that.
When they danced with their legs at the end of the song,
I saw their heels were facing each other's knees.
- Like this? - Right.
That's right.
He is good at it.
Right. Like that.
- He looks clumsy, though. - It means it was very competitive.
I'm not the only one who saw that.
The choreography was good, too.
They are saying that it was a battle between two master singers.
In fact, they have something in common.
Both of them said that they are good at acting cute.
We should watch them act cute, then.
Popcorn Girl will go first.
"Gu Ra, did you like my performance?"
"Please buy me some popcorn."
"I want some popcorn."
What is she doing?
(What is she doing?)
That's it.
That was Popcorn Girl acting cute.
It's your turn now.
You are up next.
It's Cinema Paradiso's turn.
Please love and support Cinema Paradiso.
They just sound like they are drunk.
(They just sound like they are drunk.)
Do you think so?
- They just seem drunk. - You can't do that at a theatre.
Cheng Xiao, you are good at acting cute, aren't you?
She is good at it.
- She is cute. - Watch and learn how she does it.
Cheng Xiao, show them.
You know what? I have something to tell you.
You know what? I like you a lot.
- She's cute. - Like this much
I love you.
- That was nice. - It is what you're supposed to do.
Cheng Xiao!
That was nice.
She impressed 1.3 billion people with it.
I guess Cheng Xiao is the winner.
This is what you are supposed to do.
Okay, then. Now it is time to dance.
They prepared some dance moves.
Popcorn Girl goes first.
Music, please.
(It is a good temperature to dance.)
(Her dance moves are merciful.)
(She gives off her charm.)
(Do you want to join me?)
That's nice.
(Leaping)
(Her dance moves are addictive.)
Right. It is Apink's song.
(Popcorn Girl seems to be good at dancing.)
(He is addicted.)
That's it.
(It was so cool.)
Those were bouncy dance moves.
She is good.
Now, Cinema Paradiso will dance like an actress on a red carpet.
Music, please.
(She's going to an award ceremony.)
(Step 1: Walking on the red carpet)
She's walking.
(Sexy)
What should I do?
(Step 2: People asking for her autograph)
She's giving her autographs.
She's blowing people a kiss.
(I'm so into her.)
She looks restrained.
(Please look at me.)
(I hope you will enjoy my movie.)
- That's it. - I bet she is an idol singer.
She's too good to be an idol singer.
They are very good at dancing.
Yoon Seok, what do you think?
They are entirely different. Cinema Paradiso...
is sexy to the bone.
- I see. - When she made some gestures,
she was like this. She looked very sexy.
(Sexy)
And more importantly, when she was dancing like this,
she turned her wrist 360 degrees.
She was like this.
This is what I found.
Meanwhile, Popcorn Girl turned it 180 degrees. Like this.
But Cinema Paradiso did 360 degrees.
- She is sexy. - She's sexy to the bone.
She's sexy to the bone.
I think Cinema Paradiso is...
a member of a sexy idol group like 9muses.
I have a different opinion on that point.
People would think Cinema Paradiso is the sexy one,
but I think Popcorn Girl is even sexier inside.
I don't know who will win,
but if Popcorn Girl wins and moves on to the next round,
I'm sure she will show off her sexy charms there.
- Are you sure about that? - Yes.
Okay.
The last match of Round One...
was more intense than ever.
Now, I will announce the result of the match.
I'll now reveal the winner of this match.
(Who will be the winner of the last match of Round One?)
(A clear voice and superior powers of expression)
(Cinema Paradiso with a dreamlike voice)
(A powerful voice with grooves)
(Popcorn Girl with rich fragrance)
Who will be the last winner...
moving on to Round Two?
The winner is...
- The winner is... - The winner is...
Who is it?
(It is an unpredictable match.)
(The winner is...)
Cinema Paradiso or Popcorn Girl?
Who is the winner? Show us the result.
The winner is...
The winner of this match...
will sing against Sexy Diva in Round Two.
Cinema Paradiso or Popcorn Girl.
Who is the winner?
Please show us the result.
The winner is...
(Popcorn Girl Takes Your Order wins.)
Popcorn Girl.
(Wow)
Popcorn Girl!
(They feel sorry to find it out.)
(The match could swing either way.)
Popcorn Girl beat Cinema Paradiso...
with a final score of 58 to 41.
With a final score of 58 to 41,
Popcorn girl moved on to the next round.
Please go back to your waiting room.
Please give her a round of applause.
(We look forward to seeing your next performance.)
I will try my best in Round Two. Thank you.
Go, Popcorn Girl! Keep popping.
Who is this girl with so many charms?
Let's find out who she is...
while listening to her solo performance...
where she will reveal her identity.
Please give her a big hand.
You were the best.
She's a soul diva with a bit of preference for pop music.
(Her dance was very original.)
- This is it. - She's an idol.
She sings too well to be an idol singer.
("Turning the Pages of Memories" by Lee Sun Hee.)
I didn't expect this kind of song.
(The sentimental melody penetrates into the ears.)
This is the song sung by Lee Sun Hee.
(She's quite courageous to choose Lee Sun Hee's song.)
Is she going to sing this old song?
(Nobody expected to hear this song.)
(The voice is clear yet plaintive.)
(The trembling voice sounds as if she's looking back into the past.)
(Loneliness only grows.)
(Wow)
(Her resonant voice sounds so experienced.)
(She sings like an angel.)
(Cinema Paradiso, who are you?)
Now,
Gosh, who is she?
Who is she?
Cinema Paradiso, please take off your mask...
and reveal your identity.
- Who is she? - Who is she?
She has yellow hair.
(Screaming)
(This can't be happening.)
- They are going wild. - What's going on?
Who is she?
(Her identity is revealed at last.)
She is...
Seul Gi, the main vocalist of...
the group Red Velvet.
(Nobody saw this coming.)
(Gosh.)
(He feels so sorry.)
(The panellists exclaim.)
(Nobody knew what a great vocalist she was.)
(The sensibility of the 23-year-old Seul Gi is amazingly deep.)
(Her voice becomes fuller as time passes.)
(She sings well.)
(She sings about...)
(the longing for the time with her warm voice.)
(Seul Gi's talent as a singer shines once again.)
She's from Red Velvet.
Wow.
(It's a dreamy trip to memory lane with a pure emotion of a girl.)
(Everyone gives a standing ovation.)
I was so surprised because I had no idea it was her.
I love Red Velvet.
Who doesn't?
She's so good. I love her voice.
The identity of Cinema Paradiso is revealed.
She was Seul Gi, the main vocalist of the group Red Velvet.
Please say hello to the viewers.
Hello, I'm Seul Gi from Red Velvet.
Hello.
(Red Velvet is a famous girl group debuted three years ago.)
(Whenever they release a new song, it tops the chart.)
(Seul Gi, the main vocalist of the group, )
(has a charmingly breezy character.)
- Seul Gi, you sing so well. - Thank you.
You surprised so many people.
I was so nervous, but your compliments gave me courage.
You didn't miss a single note.
Also, her vibrato was so perfect.
You sang amazingly.
The song "Turning the Pages of Memories"...
must be older than you.
Nowadays, nobody reads a book...
- by flipping through the pages. - Does she have the sensibility?
She expressed the sensibility exceptionally well.
That's right.
Thank you.
Did you have any bias that you wanted to redress?
In "Radio Star",
Kyu Hyun...
- mentioned me on TV. - That's right.
I'm known better as the trainee.
I've been a trainee for a long time, for seven years.
And some people wanted to know how good I am...
after seven years of training.
It made me very nervous.
- It became a burden. - Yes, a little.
Gu Ra, you are one of the hosts for "Radio Star".
I contributed so much...
to the formation of Seul Gi's public image.
When I look at her,
I can see that she has a good character.
She's a nice girl.
As you get more fame,
you're more likely to become lazy.
But she maintains her attitude and it requires great effort.
- Of course. - It's a virtue.
With the talent she practised for so long,
Seul Gi of Red Velvet put on a performance...
with a great voice and a deep sensibility.
Give her a round of applause, please.
Thank you.
- Well done. - Go, Seul Gi.
Thank you. It's all over.
Memories of the time as a trainee went through my mind like a flash.
Especially when I just debuted.
I put up with the time...
when I was so tired and exhausted...
by thinking that I may be singing on stage in the future.
That's what I thought.
I couldn't sing...
(I couldn't sing a single bar.)
A single bar at that time.
My vocal cords had a problem, so I couldn't sing a bar.
I hid to practise when I was a trainee.
A lot of people told me that I could do it...
at that time.
(The people's sympathy made her more timid.)
Everyone said that I could do well.
I felt so happy when the panellists here said...
that I sing so well.
I'm grateful that I'm on the show...
and for all the compliments.
I would have regretted if I hadn't performed today.
Yes,
it was good to be on this show.
I will love singing more...
and be a singer who tries hard.
("Real Men" is coming soon.)
Yes.
("Real Men" is coming soon.)
