The mysterious music show, King of Mask Singer.
Last week,
to ascend to the only throne,
the masked singers went through the biggest match ever.
The national treasure singer who won the three-cornered battle.
The 42nd King of Mask Singer,
Popcorn Girl Takes Your Order.
(We love you.)
We will be your solace with pleasant music.
The mysterious music show, King of Mask Singer.
I am your unbiased show host, Kim Seong Ju. Nice to meet you.
(Yangpa and Hwayobi)
(Joon Park and Jang Woo Hyuk)
Last week,
Popcorn Girl took the victory in the fierce battle,
continuing her three-game winning streak.
And she was praised by a lot of people.
"Like various kinds and tastes of popcorn,"
"her voice is highly addictive."
"She can reinterpret any song with her own soul."
"She has the irresistible charm of popcorn fatale."
Her performance has received rave reviews.
Popcorn Girl, please say hello to the audience watching our programme.
Popcorn.
It is amazing.
Hello, I'm Popcorn Girl Takes Your Order.
(Popcorn Girl is always full of energy.)
She is Popcorn Girl.
Last week's competition was quite hard, wasn't it?
Yes, I was very nervous.
I don't even remember how I performed on the stage.
How are you feeling today then?
I feel like a little girl today.
I just found Jang Woo Hyuk...
sitting over there.
- He's sitting across from you. - Hello.
I was a huge fan of him when I was a teenager.
(Really?)
(Does that mean she is in her 30s?)
- Really? - Yes. I feel shy today.
You were a teenager when he started his singing career?
(Oh my gosh.)
- I'm a teenager now. - Okay.
I already know who you are. You are being ridiculous.
I'm sorry.
The panellists don't know who you are.
(She is cute.)
As Popcorn Girl just mentioned,
we have an all-star cast for today's panellists.
We have legendary divas and idol singers...
who were very popular back in late 1990s and early 2000s.
With their long experience as singers,
I believe they will do a great job guessing masked singers' identities.
Will Popcorn Girl Takes Your Order be able to...
ascend to the throne again and become the 43rd King of Mask Singer?
We have eight masked singers for today.
Who among them...
will be the finalist to sing against Popcorn Girl?
Let's begin the first match of Round One.
(King of Mask Singer)
The first match of Round One.
Somewhere over the rainbow.
She is an amazing singer who delivers a message of hope.
Dorothy from The Wizard of Oz.
(Dorothy from The Wizard of Oz)
(The Land of Oz unfolds before her eyes as she opens the door.)
(She takes a long journey to return home.)
(On her way home, she runs into Mask Town.)
(It's a pleasure to meet you, friends.)
(Welcome, Dorothy.)
Her opponent...
is a super brainy singer who sings with pinpoint accuracy.
Scarecrow with the Sexy Brain.
(Scarecrow with the Sexy Brain)
(Scarecrow wants to have a brain.)
(He bumps into Dorothy by chance...)
(and comes to Mask Town with her, looking for a brain.)
(I'm here to meet the King of Mask Singer.)
(Welcome to Mask Town.)
What's the relationship between the two?
They go on an adventure together.
(They are friends who go on an adventure together.)
(But now they are on the stage as competitors.)
(Will they be able to...)
(take the way they want with their duet performance?)
("I Hope It Would Be That Way Now" by Cho Yong Pil)
Is this song "I Hope It Would Be That Way Now"?
("I Hope It Would Be That Way Now" by Cho Yong Pil)
(How will they sing this lyrical song?)
(Wow)
(His voice is sweet and charming.)
(What?)
(Her voice is surprisingly husky.)
(He has a crystal-clear voice.)
(His voice sounds pure and innocent.)
(Her voice sounds mature and mellow.)
(He sings in a simple manner,)
(yet it catches the ears.)
(His voice captivates...)
(the listeners' hearts.)
His voice is so beautiful.
(He has a beautiful voice.)
Isn't he talented?
(I'm falling for him.)
(He melted my heart already.)
(Her vibrato...)
(as well as breathing sound very experienced.)
Her voice is really rich.
(His voice sounds familiar and comforting.)
(Everything we hold dearly is already with us.)
(The song is sung with love...)
(like a love confession.)
(Her husky voice sounds experienced and his mellow voice is comforting.)
(Their unique voices create...)
(a beautiful harmony.)
(It's enchanting.)
(The harmony melts the hearts.)
I love it.
(Their shy love confession)
(It was Dorothy and Scarecrow's "I Hope It Would Be That Way Now".)
(The audience gives a rapturous ovation.)
It's a harmony for autumn.
(It's a beautiful harmony for autumn.)
(It was so touching.)
Bravo to them.
Their song fills up my heart.
This was Round One.
The first duet match has ended.
Yangpa, as a panellist,
how did you like their performance?
Scarecrow's voice sounded very young.
And Dorothy...
(Go ahead and tell me.)
- What about her? - Her body...
is like that of an idol singer.
- Her body is in shape. - She might be an idol singer.
(She makes a cute gesture.)
(However, she likes the compliment too much.)
Dorothy?
I'll take my comment back. She's too happy to hear that.
- She's so happy. - Maybe she was an idol singer.
She's very happy.
While I was listening to Scarecrow's song,
I wanted to get to know more about him.
- It attracted me. - He has that kind of voice.
- His voice enchanted you. - Right.
As for Dorothy, while the notes of the song went up and down,
her voice never lost stability.
It was such a comforting husky voice.
Dorothy,
I might have to apologise for this,
but I don't think you are...
younger than mid-20s.
She's not younger than mid-20s.
- Let's start from 30s. - She's in 30s.
Is she in her 30s?
- I was being polite. - You were being polite.
Scarecrow...
has the voice that has the feel of...
tears dropping from your eyes.
- He did. - That's why I think...
that he is a singer, too.
- You think that he's a singer. - I do.
- What do you think, Gu Ra? - I'll tell you this.
In my opinion,
I think he has something else...
in his mind.
Are you saying he's preoccupied with something else?
He's more worried about...
how to show his speciality later.
He's very concerned.
- You didn't even look at his face. - He's not worried about singing.
He's really nervous about the speciality.
He's stiff with anxiety.
I think he's an actor.
Because idol singers in their 20s,
in my opinion,
don't usually have such a muscular body.
Judging from his muscular body,
he must be an actor.
- That's what I think. - Excuse me.
Let me show you his muscles.
(He's shy.)
Isn't his body too muscular, even for an actor?
This muscle feels young.
That's right.
It looks like salted pollack roe.
- It's just about right. - Scarecrow,
judging from his voice,
- is still a young child. - Did you say "a child"?
- Yes. - Is he that young?
Even his muscles...
are young.
Although he doesn't have much fat,
there's a little milk fat,
which makes his body look...
- smooth and soft. - It's a soft muscle.
Right. As Gu Ra said, he must be an actor.
(As Gu Ra said...)
Did he say "Gu Ra"?
("Gu Ra"?)
(Is he your friend?)
(Is this American style?)
As Gu Ra said, he is an actor.
- Right. - As Gu Ra said.
- Are you saying... - Actor?
- he is an actor? - Yes, an actor.
(What's happening?)
He's younger than me.
(He's younger than me.)
- Is Gu Ra younger than you? - I'm one year younger.
- A year younger than me. - Are you, Gu Ra?
- Did you know? - Gosh.
(Gosh)
(Did you know that Joon is older than me?)
- I'm 47 years old. - Right.
I saw Gu Ra speaking formally to Joon in the waiting room.
It sounded so weird.
- Yoon Seok here... - Yes.
- is younger than him too. - Gu Ra...
What's up, little brothers?
- Doesn't it strike you as odd? - It does.
She became a huge hit...
when she appeared as Girl in Raincoat in the previous show.
This is Park Jin Joo who sang "Onara".
- Hello, nice to meet you. - Nice to meet you.
(Her singing of "Onara" sounded like a recorded track.)
(It surprised everyone.)
(Park Jin Joo is a talented actress.)
- You became a huge hit. - Yes.
- People said I'll be popular soon. - That you are ready to take off.
- Yes. - How did you like their song?
As for Scarecrow,
even when I heard at a distance,
his voice sounded so close.
His voice zoned in on me.
And as for Dorothy, her experienced voice...
enchanted the audience.
Her voice sounded experienced.
Do you think that she's in her 30s, too?
Many panellists thought that...
I must be in my 30s as well.
I wasn't quite pleased back then.
As she seems to feel the same way as I did,
I guess that she must be older than me.
- You think she's older. - Yes.
- Do you think she's in her 30s? - Probably.
You can't say otherwise.
She is someone who's well over 30.
- Hwayobi here... - Yes.
knows who she is.
- She knows who she is. - Do you?
She's the queen of rhythm and blues in the 2000s.
- Do you know who she is? - Shall I speak now?
Aren't you Oh Na Mi?
- Who did you say Dorothy is? - Oh Na Mi.
- Oh Na Mi. - It makes sense, doesn't it?
- Is it Oh Na Mi the comedienne? - Well, it's because...
Na Mi often used to imitate...
Hyun Sook's voice.
Her voice sounded so similar to that when she sang.
(Her husky voice sounds sexy.)
(Is she Oh Na Mi?)
Speaking of Hyun Sook, could you imitate her voice?
- I haven't tried it before. - She hasn't tried it before.
- I'll give it a try. - Hyun Sook's voice imitation.
Let's hear it.
Hula, hula, hula
Tambourine dances hula
Please stop here.
She was right.
She was so right.
It was an unplanned voice imitation.
You have one more speciality to show.
- She has many specialities. - While she was imitating her voice,
she definitely sounded mature.
Others would've sung...
the song plainly.
But she stressed each note,
emphasising every word.
(I hope it would be that way now)
- She stressed the beginning. - It was her singing style.
That kind of singing style is...
- common in trot music. - You're right.
That's what I imagined.
About Dorothy, you said that...
she must be a singer...
who sings trot music.
She will sing "South-bound Train".
I could tell from her voice.
She will sing the song in many different languages.
You will hear various languages.
Music for "South-bound Train", please.
(It's "South-bound Train" sung in five languages.)
She will start singing in Korean.
(The first language is Korean.)
(It's raining in Honam line)
(Wow.)
Italian, now.
(Beyond the window)
She will sing in Japanese now.
(The raindrops are falling)
She will sing in French.
(My tears are falling, too)
At last, it's English.
(Also falling down is my lost first love)
(Boom)
She will stop now.
(She's so charming.)
Let's continue in this fashion.
Scarecrow seems to be very worried.
Ask him to show his speciality. He looks very worried.
Relax and show us your speciality. Don't be nervous.
It's now Scarecrow's turn to show his speciality.
That's right.
It's Scarecrow's turn.
We should watch his speciality.
He will show us a dance.
- A dance. - It will give us a clue.
Music, please.
(Scarecrow's sophisticated b-boying)
It's b-boying.
All right. It's going nicely.
All right. He is good.
This is great. He can jump very well.
(Wow)
(He goes to the right and shows nice kicks.)
This is great.
All right.
(He goes to the left.)
(He gives two kicks.)
(Oh, my goodness.)
Wait a minute.
He didn't plan the kicks he gave on the sides.
It was fun to see his side.
I see.
(His sides are breathtaking.)
It's an old dance move.
- Really? - We call it 1 kick and 2 kicks.
From the dance moves, I judge him to be in his 30s.
Woo Hyuk, you can do this b-boying move, right?
(It's a piece of cake.)
I don't think he can do it.
- If it isn't too much trouble... - I will show you.
He will show us a b-boying move.
It's the dance move Scarecrow showed us.
Woo Hyuk, show us.
(Heave-ho)
Let's go.
(Let's go.)
(Lying down)
He can't do it any more.
It's a difficult dance move.
Scarecrow is a talented dancer.
It wasn't an easy move.
- I am sorry. - Even Woo Hyuk struggled.
I am sorry.
I thought it was an easy move.
- It must be hard. - Woo Hyuk's take was funnier.
I think he is in his 20s.
(Laughing)
- Trying the move myself... - You changed your mind.
- He is in his 20s. - While the dance move is old,
only those who are in their 20s can do it.
I will announce the result of the first match of Round One.
Who captivated the audience...
and became the first winner of Round One?
I will announce the result.
(From the depth of her heart,)
(rich emotions poured out.)
(Will Dorothy with the husky voice win?)
(The audience closed their eyes when they listened to...)
(his straightforward style of singing.)
(Will Scarecrow with a clear voice win?)
Who is the winner...
who will move on to Round Two?
The winner is...
- The winner is... - The winner is...
(The winner is...)
(Nervous and excited)
Who do you think will win?
(They may have explored Oz together,)
(but only one can move on to Round Two.)
Please show the result.
Who is the winner?
Dorothy won.
(Dorothy moves on to Round Two.)
(It's too bad Scarecrow lost.)
She is very charming.
(I am happy.)
When he first called her Dorothy,
I misheard it as Miss Doro.
(What is the difference in votes?)
Dorothy beat Scarecrow...
and moved on to Round Two.
The final score is 66 to 33.
Dorothy became the winner with twice as many votes.
Please go back to your waiting room.
Please give her a big hand.
(Scarecrow with the Sexy Brain's identity will be revealed.)
(Careful)
My goodness.
I passed.
Scarecrow is a man with a charming voice.
Who is he?
We will reveal his identity with a solo performance...
prepared for Round Two.
Please give him a big hand.
(His identity will be revealed during the solo performance.)
(His voice draws people in.)
(His voice sounds close even when it is far.)
(Is he an actor who is not used to showing a speciality?)
(I will clear up the misunderstandings.)
Good, really good.
(Wow)
(He made Woo Hyuk lie on the floor.)
(Scarecrow is the master of dance.)
Let me see your muscles.
(He has toned muscles.)
(Who is Scarecrow?)
("The Veiled Path" by Yu Jae Ha)
Isn't it "The Veiled Path"?
It must be "The Veiled Path".
(The panellists are interested in his choice of a song.)
- He has a beautiful voice. - It's really nice.
(Scarecrow's voice tickles the audience's ears.)
(Like the blue sky after the rain,)
(his voice is clear and fresh.)
(Love, be my strength)
(His delicate emotions suit the lyrics very well.)
(His pure and clear voice is charming.)
Now, Scarecrow, please take off your mask...
and reveal your face.
(No way.)
(Screaming)
Who is he?
People are excited.
Who is he?
He is...
the member of a rising idol group, Jota of Madtown.
I knew it.
It's Jota.
(Jota is the best.)
(It's nice to meet you.)
(Who knew Jota had such a beautiful voice?)
(It's Jota.)
(I can't help but smile.)
(Jota gives a melodious performance.)
(It's nice.)
(Jota has manly charms.)
(His pure voice was a big surprise.)
(There is sincerity in Jota's singing.)
(Jota moved everyone with "The Veiled Path".)
I didn't know a man's voice could be so charming.
He did a good job.
(Let's compliment Jota.)
He did a good job.
Please say hello to the viewers.
Hello, I am a vocalist of Madtown, Jota.
Thank you so much.
(They have musical talent and unique charms.)
(Madtown is a 3-year-old hip-hop group of 7 members.)
(Jota used to be a judo athlete.)
(Jota is talented at sports.)
(He recently took variety shows by storm.)
(In "Real Men 2", he showed his manly charms.)
(In "We Got Married", he showed his sweet side.)
(The entertainer with many talents, Jota)
Being a member of Madtown,
you don't get a lot of chances to perform alone, right?
This was my first time...
- giving a solo performance. - I see.
That's why I was so nervous...
and worried.
Jeong Eun Ji of Apink and I went to the same primary school.
You did?
I saw her debut when I was an athlete.
That's when I began to dream about becoming a singer.
- That's when it started. - Did you think you could do better?
- It wasn't like that. - Is that what you thought?
Eun Ji was a talented singer since primary school.
She even sang the school anthem.
I had dreamed of becoming a singer,
but being an athlete rid me of the chance.
That's when I began to go to auditions.
That's when you gathered your courage.
You were only dreaming about it.
His name is Jota, and his face is as small as a jelly bean.
(Is it much smaller than mine?)
Your singing sounded very mature for your age.
I think he has the ability to reinterpret songs in a wide range.
(Thank you.)
I actually met Jota...
on a show that required us to run.
- He's such a fast runner. - Right.
He's very athletic.
If you read his name in reverse, it means ostrich.
(Ostrich)
He's as fast as an ostrich.
Today, I realised that you have a very beautiful voice.
It also sounds very fresh. It'd be great if you keep...
singing in that beautiful voice of yours.
I hope you'll get more chances like this.
He left a strong impression as a member of Madtown.
It was Jota. Please give him a big round of applause.
(Jota's stage was great.)
(He comes down striding.)
I was too nervous.
(He's disappointed.)
But I do feel relieved now that it's over.
Since I appear on variety shows now,
people don't really know that I'm a singer.
They often think I'm an athlete, an actor or a model.
That's what they think.
Through this opportunity, I regained my confidence as a singer.
It was good to have this kind of opportunity.
(He was on stage as a singer.)
Did you enjoy the voice of Scarecrow with the Sexy Brain?
Please support Madtown, and also me. Thank you.
This is the result of Round One.
Dorothy from The Wizard of Oz defeated Jota of Madtown...
and moved on to Round Two.
The second match of Round Two.
Her voice is sometimes sweet and sometimes powerful.
It's a romantic voice that whispers in your ears.
Love Comes Along the Ferris Wheel.
(Love Comes Along the Ferris Wheel)
(The Ferris wheel of love will depart now.)
I'll get on the Ferris wheel and work my way up to the top.
(Let's fly together.)
(Let's go.)
She's tall.
Is that person a man or a woman?
- I think that's a woman. - A woman?
I think that's a man. Is it a woman?
- She has long hair. - She's a woman.
- She's a woman. - She's a woman.
Her opponent is...
a great vocalist who gives you thrills...
while going up and down.
Go Up and Down on Viking Ship.
(His ship is ready to sail.)
You'll be fascinated by my stage today.
It'll make you totter.
(Only the brave ones may get on the Viking ship.)
(We're all on board. Let's go!)
He looks very manly.
I mean Viking Ship.
I think the lady is taller.
She seems taller than the man.
What?
(She also has a strong build.)
Her build is larger.
Is she a model? Maybe she's an athlete.
Viking Ship is very charismatic.
(Ferris Wheel's height would give you a great view.)
(Viking Ship is a very charismatic man.)
(Ferris Wheel and Viking Ship are the amusement ride you must get on.)
(What kind of stage did these two amusement rides prepare?)
("Shout of Myself" by Maya)
(Oh, my.)
(She has a clear yet powerful voice.)
(She's definitely a singer.)
(Her emotional voice draws people in.)
(Who is she?)
(Wow)
(He sounds like he sang for a long time.)
(It's amazing.)
(His voice sounds rough, but sorrowful.)
(This husky voice comes from long years of experience.)
(His voice is great.)
(They both sing fiercely in harmony.)
(It's a passionate duet song made by two masters.)
(Her voice is perfectly clear.)
(Mesmerised)
(She controls her emotions through her breathing.)
(His strong charisma captures your ears.)
(Gosh)
(His stability comes from long experience.)
(Who is he?)
(Bravo)
(Wow)
(I love it.)
They're the new masters.
(I love their song.)
(Ferris Wheel and Viking Ship both have powerful voices.)
("Shout of Myself", an ardent and passionate duet song)
(They made a beautiful harmony on the stage.)
(It felt so exhilarating.)
(They're applauding for the great stage.)
(After that,)
(they start to make notes.)
That was great.
(It was really great.)
The second match of Round One is now over.
First of all, let's hear what Hyun Chul...
thought about their stage.
Thank you for a great stage.
I'm sure they're both professional singers.
Ferris Wheel, particularly,
sounded like a rock musician.
- A rock musician? - Yes.
And I think Viking Ship is a pop singer.
They're both hiding their true voices.
They're both hiding it,
but I think Ferris Wheel tried harder to hide it.
I realised it when she was singing the chorus of the first verse,
as she sang a third above the melody.
She sang in a perfect harmony.
(As Viking Ship sings the melody,)
(Ferris Wheel sings in harmony.)
(They sound perfect together.)
(The melody sounds much greater.)
(Gosh, they're good.)
It's hard to sing in harmony like that.
- Only singers can do that. - That's right.
Also, when she sang the high notes,
she barely used vibrato.
That's the singing style of many rock musicians.
(She gathers her energy,)
(and shouts out powerfully like a rock musician.)
I see. You are saying it's how rock musicians sing.
As for Viking Ship, I think...
he's an experienced singer.
Just like Dorothy, his husky voice is built-in.
- Yes. - Is that so?
He can't hide that husky voice.
(A husky voice trained through many years of experiences)
In order to reach a certain note,
he slurred for a long time.
(Slur refers to a connection between two notes.)
(This part is where a slur happens.)
I think he's been in the music industry for a long time.
If Viking Ship moves on, he has to compete against Dorothy.
It'll be a match of husky voices.
Yes, it'll be.
You seemed very surprised from the beginning, Yangpa.
How did you like it?
They were so good at singing.
It made me feel so happy while listening to it.
In Ferris Wheel's case,
her physical appearance reminds me of models.
She's very tall.
- She has really pretty legs. - She's taller than Seong Ju, right?
Yes, she is.
- Aren't we about the same height? - Hello.
You're wearing heels and she's wearing flat shoes.
She's taller than Seong Ju.
- We have to focus on this fact. - The way you include emotions...
in your low-pitched tone in the beginning...
It made me think that you're a professional singer.
It was amazing that you did that.
She may seem like a model,
but she's really skilled.
As I looked at the way she was standing,
- I thought she was an athlete. - She stands like an athlete?
- What kind of sports? - Volleyball.
Volleyball players tend to stand like that in team photographs.
Is that so? It didn't occur to me.
You know what I mean, right?
But as soon as I heard her singing...
(How do I look now?)
It still looks weird.
As soon as I heard her singing,
I thought she was a rocker or an alternative singer.
It confused me so much.
She sounded like a rock musician.
She was also stable in breathing.
In Viking Ship's case,
he is definitely a singer.
He's been in this industry for a long time,
so his hand gestures looked pretty old-fashioned.
Do you think he's older than you, Joon?
- Yes, it's possible. - You think so?
The way he stands also is a hint.
Because rather than standing straight,
he's slouched a bit as if he has a sore back like me.
He has a sore back.
People are guessing he's pretty old.
Tell me right away if you recognise who he is.
Love Comes Along the Ferris Wheel...
seemed like a woman in a Ferris wheel by herself.
Lonely without a partner.
It's hard to find a woman...
- who's in a Ferris wheel all alone. - By herself.
Such a tall woman like her...
didn't move at all.
She just stood straight and...
focused on singing.
She must be either a great master,
or someone who's been in this industry for a long time.
- I guess she's either one. - A master?
Right. That's what I think.
In Viking Ship's case,
he must have had a lot of experience of performing on stage.
I think he's a very experienced singer.
When he turned around,
I saw his hairstyle, which was a flattop.
It's been a long time since I heard that word.
He trimmed his hair with a hair trimmer.
Yes, I saw that.
- He shaved the edge part as well. - Right, I saw that.
- He made it neat. - So, in my opinion,
he's a very well experienced...
- singer in the music industry. - Nice guess.
Let's hear what Kai the Critic has to say.
It depends on the person,
but normally, tall people tend to have...
low-pitched voices.
However, today's song consisted of high notes.
Her ability to reach high notes without any difficulties...
means that she put huge effort in singing and...
she has her own direction as well as goals in her career.
Does it mean that she likes shouting?
She enjoys drinking, singing and dancing.
- She enjoys drinking and dancing. - And also drinking alone.
- What do you mean by that? - Drinking...
- Mixing drinks? - No.
(Does it mean mixing drinks?)
- No, drinking alone. - Hey.
Isn't it obvious?
You're so out of fashion.
I wasn't going to go harsh on you.
Don't you know "Drinking Solo"?
I have never received this much criticism in the studio.
I'm pretty old-fashioned.
Seong Ju.
Your hosting doesn't seem as smooth as usual.
It seems like you are...
pretty uncomfortable with those two.
It means you're not that close with them.
They're not that active these days, I guess.
Actually, I'm being careful not to give hints.
- We don't have a clue. - They are very famous people.
- You mean both of them? - Sorry? Yes.
(It confuses the panellists even more.)
Well, then. It's about time...
we see them dancing.
(This will be a great hint.)
First,
Ferris Wheel prepared...
a powerful dance for us. Let's see.
Music, please.
Show your power, Ferris Wheel.
She's showing off her talent.
(She needs longer time to prepare.)
Be powerful.
(Something amazing will come out.)
Let's go.
(Let's go.)
(She's so powerful.)
(Look at her amazing hand movements.)
(She's dancing with her long legs this time.)
You're full of energy.
(Let's play with me.)
(Together, Seong Ju.)
(It seems a bit like a home exercise.)
(How was it?)
It was her powerful dance.
You proved that you're not a singer.
- She's definitely not a singer. - She made it obvious.
- She's not a singer? - It's obvious now.
What makes you say that? She danced really well.
(You know why.)
(What?)
You are saying...
- she's not a professional singer. - Right.
But her singing was as good...
as any other singers.
People are confused even more.
Much more confused after watching her dancing.
Let's see Viking Ship's dance this time.
It's Viking Ship's dance.
(We'd love to.)
Viking Ship prepared a Viking dance...
that matches with his mask.
Look at his dancing and find out who he is.
Music, please.
What kind of moves will he make? It's a Viking dance.
(He also takes long to get ready.)
(What?)
(What's that?)
(He's making cute moves.)
All right...
I thought you said it was a Viking dance.
It's a telescope, I guess.
(Water's coming in.)
There are waves now.
That's the Viking.
Moving left to right.
Moving up and down.
(Wind wave advisory)
It's waving.
Wait, I know this move.
I'm familiar with this dance.
This was it.
It was the Viking dance.
- It's even more confusing. - That was his Viking dance.
I have no clue on who they are.
Let's hear the minority opinion, Yoon Seok.
I think Ferris Wheel is a rocker...
who takes good care of her health.
Like Lee Sang Eun,
- who sang "Damdadi" long ago. - Lee Sang Eun?
(Lee Sang Eun is an old-time singer-songwriter of Korea.)
(Her height and dancing are similar to Ferris Wheel.)
She's active in underground music these days.
- She's really good at singing. - Indeed.
I think Viking Ship is...
quite old.
He's very relaxed,
but maintaining his voice young at the same time.
I wonder if you remember, but he reminds me of Park Jeong Un.
(It's been 28 years since Park Jeong Un debuted.)
(He sang a legendary song called "On a Night Like Tonight".)
It's the one who sang "On a Night Like Tonight".
That's right. I think it's him.
- Finally, panellists mentioned... - It's a minority opinion indeed.
singers like Lee Sang Eun and Park Jeong Un.
All right.
Now, I will announce the result of...
the second match of Round One.
I'll now reveal the winner of this match...
who caught the ears of the audience.
It's the second match of Round One.
(She has a powerful boyish tone.)
(It's Ferris Wheel with the powerful boyish tone.)
(He attracts people with his amazing husky voice.)
(Viking Ship has a captivating voice in peace.)
Who is the winner of this match...
who will move on to Round Two?
The winner is...
It's nip-and-tuck.
The difference in the number of votes is not that big.
It's only three votes.
(There's only three votes' difference.)
Only three votes?
(It's so thrilling.)
It's nip-and-tuck.
(Tragedy of three votes sweeps over the amusement park.)
(One more ride will only be given to the winner.)
I can't even guess.
(It's right before the announcement.)
Who is it?
(The winner is...)
Among Ferris Wheel and Viking Ship,
who is the winner...
that will move on to the next round? Show us.
Who is it?
(Ferris Wheel is the winner.)
The winner is Ferris Wheel.
(Make a turn, Ferris Wheel!)
(It'll extend its operation until Round Two.)
(Everyone feels a shudder.)
(Win or lose, it was a great match.)
I can't believe it.
With a final score of 51 to 48,
Ferris Wheel moves on to the next round.
It was a close match.
It really was.
Ferris Wheel won by getting three more votes.
Please return to your waiting room for your next round.
(The shocking identity of Viking Ship will be revealed soon.)
(She seems to be surprised by her dramatic victory.)
Thank you.
(I will see you again next week.)
It was one of the tightest matches.
I guess you are disappointed.
- Yes, I'm a bit disappointed. - You must be.
Who is Viking Ship then?
We will reveal his identity...
with a solo performance prepared for Round Two.
Please give him a round of applause.
(His identity is about to be revealed.)
(He is short but manly.)
(He has a husky voice.)
(His hair is very short flattop.)
(Isn't he on the older side?)
(This is how he danced.)
(But nobody knows who he is.)
(He might be Park Jeong Un, who sang "On a Night Like Tonight".)
("Making a New Ending for This Story" by Han Dong Geun)
(Han Dong Geun topped the charts with this song.)
(He is good.)
(His relaxed voice sounds very emotional.)
(This is nice.)
(His sorrowful soliloquy deeply penetrates into people's hearts.)
(The song resonates by his expressive husky voice.)
(His sorrowful voice captivates people's hearts.)
(Viking Ship's sincere voice...)
(touches people's hearts.)
Now, Viking Ship, please take off your mask...
and reveal your identity.
(Viking Ship's face behind the mask...)
(is about to be revealed.)
(What?)
(Oh my gosh!)
He is...
(What's this reaction?)
He must be young.
I'm curious.
Who on earth is he?
He is...
the vocalist...
of miS=mR, Park Kyung Seo who sang "For You".
(It turns out Viking Ship is a woman.)
- Was that a woman? - Is she a woman?
She's a woman.
(It is unbelievable.)
(What have we done?)
(He is manly.)
(Nonsense)
(I saw his hairstyle, which was a flattop.)
(He was completely fooled.)
(They are hiding their identities very well.)
(He didn't know what she was hiding.)
(I think he is Park Jeong Un.)
- "On a Night Like Tonight"? - Yes.
(He thought Viking Ship was a man.)
(She surprised everyone.)
(She is Park Kyung Seo, the vocalist of miS=mR.)
(Their song, "For You" made a big hit in 1996.)
(She is a charismatic singer with a unique voice.)
(Now she is a professor of the Applied Music department.)
(She came to King of Mask Singer.)
Park Kyung Seo.
(Everyone is still in shock.)
I thought she was a man.
(Dazed)
(Her androgynous voice is very unique and full of charisma.)
- She gives me goosebumps. - Right.
I can't believe this.
(Jaw-dropping)
(Listening to the song of the female rocker, Park Kyung Seo)
(This is amazing.)
(Her great voice hasn't changed much over the past 21 years.)
(Feeling surprised and pleased,)
(they all are deeply moved by her performance.)
(The dramatic reversal about her identity shocked the panellists.)
(Her unforgettable voice has brightened up the stage.)
(The audience break out with a cheer.)
(It is very nice to see you again.)
I never imagined she'd be here.
That's why she got a haircut.
She tried to look like a man.
I had no idea.
She's the best.
How is it even possible for a woman to sound like a man?
It turns out she is...
Park Kyung Seo of miS=mR.
She is a lady.
Please say hello to our viewers.
Hello, I'm Park Kyung Seo, the vocalist of miS=mR.
It's nice to meet you.
(You are amazing.)
Everyone seems surprised to see you.
The panellists thought you were a man.
I was so surprised to see you there.
Yangpa, you looked surprised, too.
She's like your senior.
I know. You look beautiful, by the way.
Thank you.
- Thank you. - I think...
she tried to distort her voice today.
I thought she was a man the whole time.
Gu Ra said she got a haircut with a hair trimmer.
I was right about that.
Tell me. You got a haircut using a trimmer, right?
- Yes, I did. - I told you.
- I did it yesterday. - I knew it.
At least I got that right.
The second he saw her face, he got very surprised.
"Was that a woman?"
(He was fooled again.)
(First, he was deceived by Baek Chung Kang.)
(His anger exploded.)
(Soon after, he was deceived by Sun Youl of UP10TION again.)
(Feeling dejected)
(He promised to himself that he would never fall for such tricks,)
(but he was fooled again.)
(He didn't know there was a woman who sounded like a man.)
Since I came here to deceive the panellists today,
I was worried about anyone guessing me as a woman.
I guess I tricked everyone into believing that I was a man.
Was your voice always androgynous?
My voice was low since I was young.
But as I grew older, my voice became higher.
Don't you think?
(I think so.)
My voice was much lower when I was young.
When I released the song "For You",
everyone thought I was a man.
As we rarely appeared on TV shows,
many people still think...
I am a male singer.
There are a lot of male singers who sound like women.
But not many female singers sound like men.
- She has a very unique voice. - She's special.
And her range of tone is tremendous.
I want her to continue singing...
so that we can keep listening to her great voice.
I want you to continue your career as a singer.
I also started my singing career back in 1990s like you.
I'm glad to see her here again. It was very nice.
I don't think I saw the climax of her abilities.
I'm sorry that we couldn't listen to more of her singing.
I hope we can see her singing more on stage.
Right, indeed.
- Thank you. - We will look forward...
to seeing Kyung Seo more often.
With her passion for music,
Kyung Seo showed off her attractive androgynous voice behind a mask.
Please give her a round of applause.
(We look forward to your future endeavours.)
(She strides down the stage.)
It's sad that it's over.
I didn't want the audience to find out I was a woman.
It was very hard to find a costume...
that can cover up my silhouette.
I finally came up with the costume I wore today.
Most of all, I couldn't go to the ladies' room today.
So the crew gave me a room...
with a private bathroom.
It was certainly a rewarding experience.
All the panellists failed to recognise me.
- Was that a woman? - They didn't know I was a woman.
- That was good enough... - Was that a woman?
to make this event meaningful.
It was as refreshing as if I made my debut today.
I will do my best to sing good songs...
for you more often.
Please stay healthy and happy. Thank you.
Love Comes Along the Ferris Wheel beat Park Kyung Seo of miS=mR...
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.
Now, let me introduce the pair for...
Round One's third duet song match.
It's Round One's third match.
Dream for the King Comes True.
Student Will Pass the Test.
(Student Will Pass the Test)
(I'm ready. It's time for the match.)
Look forward to today's performance.
(Good luck on your tests, everyone.)
College entrance exam is coming up.
It's that time of the year again.
Good luck.
Opposing him is...
a singer who always gets the perfect score.
Nothing is impossible.
Test Paper Receives 100.
(My vocal cords are top-notch.)
I'll ace the test...
without getting nervous.
I'm getting 100 on my test.
(I aim to get all 99 votes.)
He's aiming at a full score.
This match is dedicated to the students.
(The masked singers enter the stage.)
(The way they take off the gowns...)
Let's not doubt the fact that they are both men.
They are both men for sure.
I think they are both young. Don't you think so?
- You won't know until they sing. - That's right.
(It's the last weekend before the examination.)
(They need refreshment.)
(Do well on your test.)
(It's a special duet stage put on by two singers...)
(who wish the students to do well on the exams.)
(Wow)
("Met You by Chance" by Songgolmae)
It's "Met You by Chance".
The song is sung by Songgolmae.
(Let's forget your stress for a moment...)
(and have fun.)
(Test Paper sings first.)
(Student sings back.)
(This clear sound...)
(comes from his powerful voice.)
(Wow)
(His singing is soft...)
(and stable.)
(Their harmony sticks to the ears like rice cake.)
(Gosh)
(Let's have fun.)
(Ready, set and go.)
(They are cute.)
(Be ready.)
(The performance is exciting.)
(Don't get nervous about the examination.)
(Do well on the tests.)
(He sings slowly to the beat...)
(with a great sense of rhythm.)
(Wow)
(He sings each and every word...)
(very powerfully.)
(Dancing)
(Wow)
(Test Paper sings passionately...)
(while Student lyrically expresses the song.)
(Wow)
(They sing with great force.)
(We take down the entrance examination.)
Good job, guys.
(It was such a stress-relieving performance.)
(It was so exciting.)
- Wasn't it great? - It was awesome.
It was so fun.
Yes.
I guess they are both singers.
I think both of them are old.
The third match of Round One's duet song match has ended.
Starting from Student, please say hello to the viewers.
Student Will Pass the Test.
Good luck. Hello.
He's wearing horn-rimmed glasses...
and school uniform.
To all students who are taking the entrance examination,
I'm Test Paper...
- Receives 100. - I can tell that he's old.
- He's old. - He's passionate.
He speaks like a parent.
- He speaks like a parent. - He does.
He spoke like a parent.
You've already identified him.
Although he's in school uniform,
his voice might have sounded a little older.
Jang Hyuk, how did you like their duet performance?
I had so much fun.
(He travelled back to the 80s.)
(He danced disco with enthusiasm.)
It's a disco dance.
It's actually a very difficult song.
If you sing this song, you will realise...
that it's a hard song to sing with confidence like how they did.
Student really seemed to enjoy singing.
He just enjoyed the stage without thinking about Round Two.
He wanted to show all of himself in this performance.
I was happy to see his performance like that.
I think that made his performance far better.
Shouldn't the students be like that when they take the tests?
- Of course, they should. - Without feeling pressured.
That's what the students should do.
The entrance examination is near.
Test Paper's singing styles in the first and the last part...
of the song were slightly different.
- Was it? - Yes. At first,
he sounded somewhat classical.
He made his voice thick...
like how classical singers do.
Then he changed his voice in the later part of the song.
(This is how he sounded in the beginning.)
(That's right.)
(But his voice became thinner later.)
(What's that?)
He didn't sound like a singer there.
He sounded like Kai.
He sounded like a musical actor...
or something like that.
I'm looking forward to his performance in Round Two.
There's something hidden in his voice.
Kai, what's your opinion?
(Sighing)
This match is harder to judge than the previous match...
I judged as a panellist.
- Is that so? - Yes. Both of them are...
very talented in terms of music.
Ever since Student entered the stage,
he displayed a distinct habit.
Did you notice his habit?
Yes. Whenever he felt embarrassed,
he made a gesture of...
slightly raising his heels.
When he feels awkward.
You don't see such gesture from singers.
That made me guess...
that he can be one of the comedians.
That's my guess.
- As for Test Paper, - Test Paper.
when he introduced himself,
he lost grip of his microphone for a moment.
(When he was introducing himself,)
(he raised the microphone too high.)
(He quickly placed the microphone down.)
(It's okay, I looked natural.)
(Well.)
(Kai the Detective noticed him.)
The microphone can be stuck on the head...
or on the cheek for musical actors.
He might be someone who doesn't have to hold...
- the microphone directly. - A musical actor.
Jin Joo, you danced...
while you were watching their performance.
Whose voice did you prefer?
- I preferred Test Paper's voice. - Test Paper.
I think he dances so well.
- During the interlude. - Yes.
Even when he lost the grip of the microphone,
I liked it because he seemed so pure.
He seems pure.
I felt how much he wanted to say hi to us when he lost the grip.
I liked it.
Who do you think is older?
- Test Paper. - Test Paper.
- I'm 100 percent sure. - Although he's older...
You are 100 percent sure.
You don't think Student is as pure.
No,
but I think he's definitely young.
The way he smiles and how he moves on the stage...
indicate that he's young.
Joon, how did you like the performance?
All I know is...
that Test Paper is older.
You think Test Paper is older.
I saw him in the toilet during the break time.
- He was wearing a robe and a mask. - I see.
We refer to peeing as number 1 and pooping as number 2.
His number one took...
as long as number two.
- That's why... - Wait, what do the numbers mean?
Number 1 is peeing and number 2 is pooping.
If his number 1 took as long as number 2...
He peed for three minutes.
I waited in lines.
I had to give up and return.
- He must be old. - Test Paper is perplexed.
- Test Paper is upset. - I'm sorry
I will give you a chance to explain yourself.
Think about it.
I arrived here at 9am...
and used the restroom...
for the first time in 4 or 5 hours. It's natural to take a long time.
(It wasn't a drizzle.)
He had a lot to discharge.
- I couldn't leave during the shoot. - That's right.
- It seems like you misunderstood. - In that case, I'm sorry.
(Is Test Paper a young man?)
I think Student is...
an older singer.
(Laughing)
He stretched out the beats towards the end.
- That's right. - It's similar...
to Jung Hoon Hee's singing style...
- in "On the Flower Bed". - Jung Hoon Hee.
The opinions are divided.
All right. Now, Student will show us a dance he prepared.
It's Cute and Sweet Dance.
Music, please.
(How sweet will Student's dance be?)
(He is like a shy girl.)
(Swaying)
My goodness.
(My goodness)
His dance is lovely and cute.
How sweet!
He is like a newly-debuted singer.
(His dance is cute and sweet.)
He is showing us a girl group's dance.
Marshmallow.
(Marshmallow)
(I love its sweetness)
My goodness.
He is cute.
(Cute and sweet)
(Student is a cute fairy with irresistible charms.)
Let's end it here.
(He is the cutest man in the world.)
Please guess his age.
This time,
Test Paper will show us a club dance.
He is trying too hard.
Watch his performance before you judge.
Music, please.
(How well can Test Paper dance?)
It's a cheerful song.
There you go.
He is asking for the audience's reaction.
(His steps are light.)
His steps are very light.
He is full of energy. This is great.
(Dancing)
(Faltering)
Let's end it here.
It seems like everyone is surprised.
Could you give us...
an intenser performance like a student?
- It was a bit lacking. - When he moved to the side,
he should have done it with energy.
He trudged instead.
When you get old, you lose a sense of balance.
That must be why.
It could be a misunderstanding. Don't be biased.
Music, please.
(He will show a better performance.)
He is popping.
There you go.
(He is cool.)
(Look at how youthful I am.)
(I will show this much of my coolness.)
- It was too short. - Good job.
You spent a long time at the urinal.
Why won't you do the same on the stage?
He keeps his pee long and his dance short.
All right. Now.
I will announce the result of the third match of Round One.
The 2nd match only had a difference of 3 votes.
This match is a close one as well.
Will Student...
pass the test and move on to Round Two?
Will Test Paper...
be rewarded for his hard work?
What will be the fate of these two masked singers?
Let's find out who will move on to Round Two.
Who won?
(He has a singing style with a gentle push.)
(His voice is edgy and refined.)
(Student has sentimental charms.)
(He broke the beat with power.)
(He has an unobstructed voice.)
(Test Paper showed straightforward emotions.)
(The vocalists with different charms...)
(created a cheerful harmony.)
Who will win and move on to Round Two?
The winner is...
(King of Mask Singer)
Who is the winner?
(I hope Student wins.)
Test Paper!
- Test Paper! - Student!
(Who will be the winner?)
Who will move on to the next round?
Please show the result. Who is the winner?
Who is the winner?
(Test Paper Receives 100 won.)
Test Paper won.
- Yes! - Test Paper won.
(The strong Test Paper...)
(beat Student.)
This is incredible.
(He will move on to Round Two.)
Test Paper won.
Test Paper beat Student with a final score of 56 to 43.
The final score was 56 to 43.
He beat his opponent with a difference of 13 votes...
and became the winner.
Test Paper, please return to your waiting room...
and get ready for the next round. Please give him a big hand.
(Let us hear your amazing voice next week.)
Test Paper won.
I was more nervous than I expected.
I had a moment of fright. At this rate, I will be found out.
100 out of 100
The panellists took many guesses.
Who is he?
We will reveal his identity with a solo performance...
prepared for Round Two. Please give him a big hand.
(He gave a cute dance performance with ease.)
(Student has a strange habit.)
(Is he a comedian?)
(Is he an experienced singer?)
(Is he an energetic youth?)
("On a Night Like Tonight" by Park Jeong Un)
(I like this song.)
(Wow)
(Student calmly sings with his clear voice.)
(He transformed his voice into a sentimental one.)
(When waiting makes you tired...)
(and loneliness makes you cry,)
(his warm voice will offer solace.)
(Student's voice is clear and transparent.)
(Who is he?)
Now, Student,
please take off your mask and reveal your face.
(Who is he?)
(He takes off his mask.)
He is...
- What is it? - He caused quite a stir.
- What is it? - Why is everyone screaming?
(It makes them more nervous and curious.)
- What is it? - Everyone looks shocked.
He is...
an actor with 14 years of experiences...
who specialises in roles of kings,
Im Ho.
(It's an actor, Im Ho.)
(They are perplexed.)
(He is the king.)
For goodness' sake.
(Hello, I am Im Ho.)
(While his voice is deep in dramas,)
(Im Ho sings with a soft and romantic voice.)
(His impressive singing skills match those of an experienced singer.)
(He can even express delicate emotions.)
(We want to spend each day...)
(with Im Ho's amazing voice.)
(Im Ho showed off his nice voice with "On a Night Like Tonight".)
It was the best.
(Im Ho showed off his nice voice with "On a Night Like Tonight".)
(My hair!)
(You're so handsome.)
(It's good to see you.)
He's a good singer.
Gosh. I was so surprised.
The identity of Student was revealed.
He's an actor with 24 years of experience.
He played many roles as a king.
He's not a singer.
It was Im Ho.
Please say hello to the viewers.
Hello. I'm actor Im Ho.
- It's good to see you. - All right.
(It's His Majesty,)
(the ruler...)
(and the king.)
(He played the king in many famous dramas.)
(He has a serious face and a charismatic voice.)
(We've seen him often on the throne.)
(He's the best actor for playing the king.)
(Im Ho, an actor with 24 years of experience)
Because of your image as an actor who always plays the king,
I assume people have a bias about you.
After I debuted, the first role I played was...
King Sukjong from "Jang Hui Bin".
So people started to think I'd be gentle,
polite, well-mannered,
reserved, nice...
and understanding.
- I'm the opposite of those things. - I see.
Starting from King Sujkong,
which kings have you played so far?
Actually, before King Sujkong, I played Prince Wolsan...
- when I was a new actor. - Prince Wolsan.
Then I played King Sujkong, King Jungjong,
Crown Prince Sado...
- and Prince Gwanghae as a cameo. - Prince Gwanghae.
Also, I played a foreign king,
which was the emperor of Later Yan.
I even played King Jinji of Silla Dynasty.
- I played many different kings. - I see.
What I haven't played is a western king.
Gosh. I heard people saying that you're cute.
- Also... - I'm quite cute.
- I guess it's your personality. - That's right.
This is so upsetting.
Why?
What's upsetting?
That's his real personality.
Do you know him well?
Yes. It's so upsetting that I didn't know who he was.
Come to think of it, I had seen all of his speciality already.
- Is that right? - I just...
realised it now.
Is he usually this cute and funny?
Yes. He's very cute and funny.
What surprised me was that when he was on "Dae Jang Geum",
he the same line...
- for a long time. - What was it?
"It's delicious."
(He said it every time he ate.)
(It was his catchphrase at that time.)
- "It's delicious." - He only said that.
- I did say that a lot. - You did.
I love his voice.
He has all the skills and techniques singers have.
- Thank you. - You sing as well as a singer.
If you play a king again, maybe you can gather the subjects...
in a banquet hall...
I actually wanted to sing the theme song.
- I know. - I suppose.
After saying, "It's delicious",
I wanted to sing "Onara".
But the director said no.
- If you get a chance, please do. - Okay.
Today, he wasn't the reserved king he always plays.
He showed his friendly side on stage instead.
It was Im Ho. Please give him a big round of applause.
- Yes. - Thank you.
Thank you. Go, Im Ho!
(It was an honour to hear you sing, Your Majesty.)
(He walks lightly with a happy face.)
Dear viewers of King of Mask Singer, listen to me carefully.
I finally made an appearance on this show.
How was it? Did you enjoy it?
I had a great time.
Please support this show...
and support me as well.
I love you.
Test Paper Receives 100 defeated Im Ho...
and moved on to Round Two.
The last match of Round One.
He never cries even when he's lonely and sad.
His voice gives you courage.
Don't Make Cowardly Lion Cry.
(I came from the Land of Oz.)
(The Cowardly Lion leaves for the Emerald City.)
(Would he be able to find courage?)
It's a male singer.
(I'm scared.)
(He's so cute.)
His opponent has...
a warm heart...
and an iron voice.
Tin Man with a Burning Heart.
(Tin Man with a Burning Heart)
(I want to have a burning heart.)
(The Tin Man comes to the Land of Oz looking for a heart.)
(Can the Tin Man have a real heart that beats?)
My stage will be burning hot.
Pit-a-pat.
(He toddles along.)
(He's cute.)
That's the burning heart.
(The two masked singers are from the Land of Oz.)
(It looks like they came out of the fairy tale.)
Aren't his legs too short?
(She bursts into laughter.)
- Is Tin Man a woman? - I think so.
- Tin Man looks like a woman. - It's a woman.
- We are all confused. - It's a woman.
Tin Man is a woman.
(They're two strong characters of "The Wizard of Oz".)
(It's a match between Cowardly Lion and Tin Man.)
(You can't tell who he is only by his appearance.)
(What kind of stage will they show us?)
("In Summer" by Deux)
(Their refreshing harmony...)
(takes you to a summer day.)
(They sound skilful from the beginning.)
They're very shy.
(They're scared and shy.)
(Tin Man's voice is as cool as a sea breeze.)
(He's so charming.)
(He has a clear voice like the midsummer sun.)
(Who is he?)
(It's a harmony of the midsummer sun and the sea breeze.)
(His voice feels relaxing and cosy.)
(They're good.)
(These charming guys make you forget about the early cold spell.)
(House Band)
(He gently melts your heart...)
(with his soulful voice.)
(Their singing refreshes you like lemonade.)
(Cowardly Lion who went looking for courage)
(Tin Man who is searching for a warm heart)
(The harmony they make together is as sweet as a fairy tale.)
(You can feel his sweet palpitation.)
(He delicately sings high notes.)
(Wow)
(Tin Man has such a lovely voice.)
(Who is he?)
(He has a refreshing voice that makes your heart flutter.)
(Who is Cowardly Lion?)
(They exchange sweet ad-libs.)
(Amazed)
(Their voices make a beautiful harmony.)
(It was a dreamlike confession of the two men.)
(That was great.)
They're great singers.
(Impressed)
- They're so good. - It was good rhythm and blues.
The last match of...
Round One is now over.
Cowardly Lion, please say hello to the viewers.
(He gets ready.)
Don't make me cry
I'm Cowardly Lion.
(Oh, my gosh.)
He easily gets scared. Don't worry.
Nobody will harm you.
He's a lion but cowardly.
Hello, I'm Tin Man with a Burning Heart.
(Bowing)
(Nice to meet you.)
Just like the singers in the first match,
they are the characters from "The Wizard of Oz".
Young Seok, how did you like their stage?
Their styles are different, but they harmonised so well.
They seemed like a perfect pair.
- They complemented each other. - That's right.
What I particularly like from Lion is his mask.
It's my favourite so far.
Do you like his mask?
Look at his sad, pleading eyes...
- Isn't that more like a dog face? - A dog.
(Isn't he a dog?)
- He's like a dog craving for food. - He's a lion.
He can be a lion that doesn't like meat and eats only vegetables.
(Is he a vegetarian lion?)
Subtle vibration in his voice...
deeply touched me.
Ironically enough, such voice had a greater impact on me.
(Teary eyes)
- I think he is... - Tin Man.
Yes, Tin Man is a compressed file.
- A compressed file. - Yes.
- It's not his full potential. - Yes.
If he uncompresses his potential,
he will be massive.
Although it started off with a soft voice like that of a woman,
he has a strong heart...
and a solid voice...
full of stability.
I think he will go.
Where will he go?
- All the way to Final Match. - To Final Match?
All the way to Final Match.
Okay. As usual, you guessed the winner.
Yes, Jang Hyuk.
Their performance was a rare one...
in that there was confidence.
Cowardly Lion's song...
was like a perfect model answer sheet.
There was not a single mistake.
From his tune and rhythm to breathing,
everything was excellent.
As for Tin Man,
he would sometimes sing harmony.
(This is where he sang harmony.)
His voice was so clear that I could almost see it.
I think he's also a great vocalist.
Tin Man sounds so much like a rhythm and blues singer.
I don't know what song he has chosen for Round Two,
but I think it must be a rhythm and blues song.
That's my opinion.
Yangpa and Joon, you are talking as you write something down.
It's because...
Tin Man is...
Are you a man or a woman?
(Are you a man or a woman?)
He is a man.
- Are you sure? - Do you think...
- Tin Man is a woman? - The lady we saw before...
- completely baffled me. - You mean Park Kyung Seo.
- He got a little... - I mean,
is he really a man?
Tin Man is a man.
I won't tell.
- He's a man. - Can I see his Adam's apple?
I'm sure he's a man.
- Is that so? - I'm positive.
- Are you sure? - His lower body...
shows distinctive feature.
I knew who he was when I saw his lower body.
Did you?
Can you tell who he is by looking at his lower body?
Among fans, his lower body is famous.
Gu Ra, you have someone on your mind.
Yes, he has thick thighs.
Is that what you and Yangpa talked about?
- Yes, something like that. - Is it a woman or a man?
- Not whether he's a woman. - It wasn't that.
Both of them sang so well,
and it amazed me.
Joon thinks that Lion is Zion.T.
No, it's not that.
Cowardly Lion...
makes gestures that Zion.T makes.
However, when it comes to voice, this woman...
(This woman)
- He's not a woman. - He's not a woman.
- He's not a woman. - He's a man.
He's far more...
Meet him in the bathroom later.
I'm so confused.
Speaking of gesture,
he seemed to imitate Jay Park.
There are singers in AOMG who sing rhythm and blues.
I guess he may be either Crush or Loco.
His pants are already hip-hop style.
Are they hip-hop style?
They are very much hip-hop.
The crotch starts from the ankle line.
- His outfit is hip-hop style. - What's up?
- Aren't his legs too short? - He's a hip-hop lion.
He's a hip-hop lion.
Okay, Kai.
Between these two,
I don't know whom to pick.
What matters is that whoever moves on to Round Two...
will perform 10 times or even 100 times better...
than Round One's performance.
Do you think that both of them are singers?
I dare to say...
- Absolutely. - Absolutely.
- Did you say absolutely? - I said absolutely.
Someone embarrassed himself saying that.
- No. - Absolutely...
is not a word you should utter so easily.
I will take a chance today.
There can be consequences. All right.
Jin Joo, the starter of the word "absolutely", what do you think?
When I heard them sing,
I realised for the first time that "In Summer" could be this exciting.
The song was so exciting and they sang so well,
so I will be quiet without any suggestion.
(You are great.)
Okay, then. I heard...
these two can imitate Jay Park and Zion.T's voices.
Cowardly Lion, let us hear you imitating Jay Park's voice.
I like it, I like everything about you
He likes it.
Let's hear Zion.T's voice imitation.
I was home alone all day long
My father was a taxi driver
Let's stop here.
(He is good.)
(It does sound similar.)
Now, he will imitate Jung In's voice.
Let's hear it.
Don't tell me to forget you
Allow me to do that
It wasn't perfect but good enough.
- It wasn't perfect but good enough. - Yes, you're right.
I'm really looking forward to Tin Man's speciality.
I'd like to see his speciality.
- Tin Man's speciality. - He has never done that.
Gu Ra seems to know who he is.
He never showed any speciality...
and sang songs only.
But since he's wearing a mask today...
Can you imitate Zion.T's voice?
- I'll give it a try. - Will you?
- Yes. - Tin Man will imitate...
Zion.T's voice, too.
I was home alone all day long
My father was a taxi driver
- Oh, gosh. - Well done.
His version of Zion.T is better.
He did it better.
- Was he better? - Yes.
Can't we see him dance?
- Shall we see his dance? - Dance it is.
He wrote dancing...
- as one of his specialities. - Is that so?
Music, please.
(It's Tin Man's dance time.)
Tin Man.
He's a robot.
He is lovely.
(He's charged with loveliness.)
(Dancing)
He's lovely.
(He's cute...)
(and cheerful.)
(We didn't expect this from him.)
(I'll dance even cuter.)
He's doing great.
(Swinging)
He's quite flexible.
(I love you.)
Let's stop here.
(He's so cute.)
- Tin Man. - He has changed so much.
Show us the back view of your swinging dance.
(Did you want this?)
- He's much merrier now. - We didn't expect this from him.
We will see Cowardly Lion's dance. Music, please.
(Is he going to dance like a tough guy?)
(His dance is restrained.)
That's right.
You're doing great.
He's not cowardly at all.
(He's such a bold lion.)
(His turn is dramatic.)
It's a lion.
He's growling, that's right.
(Are you scared of me?)
Devour the audience.
Be more aggressive. Crawl on the floor.
(If you don't back up, you might get hurt)
Let's stop here.
Well done.
(You did a good job.)
It's not that he's cowardly. The right moment hadn't come yet.
Okay. Do you remember the last time?
When Lee Jae Hoon...
played music with his teeth.
(The school bell)
(Rings)
(His speciality surprised everyone.)
I love it.
I heard that when he saw the speciality,
he said that he started it,
but Jae Hoon took credit.
He was very angry to see that.
When did you begin playing with your teeth?
- About three years ago. - About three years ago.
He played his teeth for about three years.
Practise first.
Excuse me, hit the first front teeth.
The first front teeth.
Hit the one beside that.
Okay, right.
I had to know before the actual play begins.
Okay.
- Wait, come on. - It looks painful.
Could you hit your molar?
Can you make sound with molar?
Good.
He has strong molars.
They sound different.
- Each tooth sounds different. - I like how it sounds.
Let's begin with a children's song first.
It's "Aeroplane Is in the Sky".
Start.
(The aeroplane is in the sky)
(Fly, fly)
(Fly high)
(My aeroplane)
(He's amazing.)
Wipe your saliva off.
Let's try a harder one.
He will play "Let's Do the Cha Cha Together"...
with his teeth.
Please begin.
(Forget your worries, let's do the cha cha)
(Cha cha)
Oh, gosh.
He did start this first.
You did a great job.
- He did start it first. - Gosh.
- His teeth are different. - Forget your worries.
They are his original teeth.
Let's hear Yoon Seok's opinion.
Upon hearing Cowardly Lion sing,
I realised he has an excellent sense of rhythm.
That's why I think he might be a rapper,
San E.
(Is Cowardly Lion a rapper, San E?)
I think that's why he imitated Zion.T well.
As for Tin Man,
he is capable of singing well in those trousers.
I saw his determination to become King of Mask Singer.
- I see. - Those thighs...
and singing skills tell me that he is Kim Jo Han.
- Kim Jo Han. - He is a rhythm and blues singer.
- Kim Jo Han. - It's a minority opinion.
All right. Now, I will announce...
the result of the last match...
of Round One.
Cowardly Lion has...
a charming and beautiful voice that tugs at our hearts.
Tin Man is a passionate vocalist who makes our hearts beat faster.
I'll now reveal the last winner...
of Round One.
(It will be revealed now.)
(His clear voice resembles the blue sky.)
(He has a nice sense of rhythm and a stylish voice.)
(He has the groove and years of experience.)
(Tin Man has a soulful voice that contains deep emotions.)
Who will become the last winner...
and move on to Round Two?
The winner is...
- The winner is... - The winner is...
Who will it be?
(Will it be Cowardly Lion or Tin Man?)
Who won? It was a tough choice.
Whose charming voice...
will we hear again in the next round?
Is it Cowardly Lion or Tin Man? Please show the result.
(King of Mask Singer)
Who will become the last winner and move on to Round Two?
Is it Cowardly Lion or Tin Man?
Who will be the winner? Please show the result.
(Tin Man with a Burning Heart won.)
Tin Man won.
(Tin Man's heart beat.)
(Team Tin Man rejoices.)
Tin Man won.
(Team Cowardly Lion is sad.)
(It was a beautiful match.)
Let's see the final score.
Tin Man won.
Tin Man beat Cowardly Lion...
and became the winner.
Please return to your waiting room. Please give him a big hand.
He will move on to Round Two.
(Dazed)
(Glancing around)
I can't believe...
they mistook me for a woman.
The trousers are too tight.
Who is Cowardly Lion?
We will reveal his identity...
with a solo performance prepared for Round Two.
Please give him a big hand.
(Is he a singer who gives model performances?)
(Does he resemble Jay Park?)
(Is he a rap genius, San E?)
(He transcends genres in his voice impressions.)
(He has cute dancing skills.)
(Who is the original teeth player, Cowardly Lion?)
("I'm Going Back" by Lim Jeong Hee.)
(His low voice makes the audience hold their breaths.)
He is an amazing singer.
(Sadness of a breakup...)
(is expressed in the weak tremor of his voice.)
(Wow)
(It's very nice.)
(Sadness of a breakup is delivered...)
(through a voice that is laden with longing.)
(Absorbed)
(He adds delicate touches like those of a watercolour painting.)
(The sentimentality wets the heart like autumn rain.)
Now, Cowardly Lion,
please take off your mask and reveal your face.
(Screaming)
(The audience is in a frenzy.)
He is...
What is it?
- What is going on? - He must be an idol singer.
- He is an idol singer, right? - It seems that way.
(Screaming)
(Gosh, I can't contain myself.)
He is...
a singer-turned-actor who was in a popular drama,
Jin Young of B1A4.
(Jin Young of B1A4)
(What?)
My goodness, it's Jin Young.
This is incredible.
It's Jin Young.
(No one had guessed correctly.)
(Everyone, it's Jin Young.)
(My goodness)
(Who knew Jin Young's voice was so delicate?)
(He expresses sadness as if he would break into tears.)
(It's nice.)
(His heartfelt performance...)
(makes the audience's hearts ache.)
(This is the voice of a man who is more well-known as an actor.)
(Jin Young's "I'm Going Back" touched hearts.)
(The audience continues to cheer.)
(They can't help but smile.)
Cowardly Lion was Jin Young of B1A4,
who recently stole women's hearts...
with his role as Kim Yoon Sung, a man from a noble family.
Please say hello to the viewers.
Hello, I am Jin Young of B1A4.
(He debuted in 2011 as a member of B1A4.)
(He gained popularity with hit songs including "Baby Good Night".)
(He is the leader of the team as well as a producer.)
(He's an all-around entertainer who acts well too.)
(He recently appeared in a drama as a handsome scholar.)
There's no need to feel sorry no matter what happens.
(He captivated the viewers with his acting full of emotions.)
(The multi-talented idol singer, Jin Young of B1A4)
- I enjoyed the drama. - Thank you.
- You are a good actor. - You watched it.
- Yes, I did. - Thank you.
Even though you debuted as a member of B1A4,
many people only know you as an actor.
I debuted as a member of B1A4,
but I was never popular.
When I began to appear in films and dramas,
many people were surprised to find that I am an idol singer.
I visited King of Mask Singer to show people...
my talent as a singer.
I heard that you want to show this performance to your group members.
Since I am B1A4's producer,
I write and direct the songs.
I often say, "Don't do that."
"Do this instead."
Whenever it happened, I thought they might think,
"How good is he to judge us?"
"Why is he asking so much of me?"
I couldn't help but be afraid of what they might think.
I visited King of Mask Singer to show that...
I can sing without being nervous,
even when other members are not by my side.
I wanted to show them what I can do...
as a leader and an older member.
You proved today that you are good enough to order them around.
- It's not that. - All right.
You sang so skilfully.
Since you know well about music,
you know how to take breaks as you sing.
That means you're already...
a master.
He's right. Yes.
Today, he wasn't the idol singer who appears on dramas.
He performed well on the stage as a vocalist.
It was Jin Young of B1A4.
- Please give him a big hand. - Thank you.
(We support Jin Young and his dreams.)
(You're so handsome.)
(Relieved)
Gosh.
I'm so relieved.
I wanted to take this chance...
to do the things I always wanted to do.
Even though I was wearing a mask,
but it's still me behind it.
I was able to gain back my confidence.
It was so meaningful to me...
because I let people know how my voice sounds.
