Last week,
the most popular challengers appeared.
He is a tough man.
She is Park Kyung Seo.
Some of them even made a dramatic reversal.
He is Im Ho.
They had thrilling and shocking matches in Round One.
And...
their challenges to become the King of Mask Singer continue.
We have four masked singers who made it out of Round One.
Dorothy from The Wizard of Oz.
Love Comes Along the Ferris Wheel.
Test Paper Receives 100.
Tin Man with a Burning Heart.
However,
this perfect singer is waiting for the challengers.
With her powerful voice,
she gave an indescribably beautiful performance.
The 40th, 41st, and 42nd King of Mask Singer,
Popcorn Girl Takes Your Order.
According to the online mobile survey,
netizens' expectation for the 43rd King of Mask Singer is...
Popcorn Girl Takes Your Order...
followed by Tin Man with a Burning Heart.
I believe this is a great discovery.
She must be a master.
He is an emotional genius.
He was the best.
This is an emergency.
This is crazy.
Perfect!
Will Popcorn Girl be able to win four consecutive victories?
The winner is...
The unpredictable thrilling competition...
is about to begin.
(King of Mask Singer)
The first match of Round Two, Semi-finals.
She defeated Jota of Madtown...
and became a sensation with her song.
Dorothy from The Wizard of Oz.
(Dorothy from The Wizard of Oz)
(She sets off out to Round Two.)
(It's me, Dorothy.)
(Nice to see you again.)
She is a mysterious girl.
I have no idea how old she is.
She's in shape, so she must be young.
But her voice sounds mature when she sings.
She is very mature.
(Her emotional voice touches people's hearts.)
Her voice never lost stability. It was such a comforting husky voice.
Her experienced voice enchanted the audience.
Hula, hula, hula
(She even imitated Hyun Sook's voice on the spot.)
That's it.
I don't think she is younger than mid-20s.
Let's start from 30s.
I guess she is older than me.
(She sang a song in many different languages.)
At last, it's English.
Also falling down
(Dorothy is a talented person.)
(But her identity still remains mysterious.)
(That's why the audience has been waiting for the second performance.)
(What song is Dorothy singing to impress the audience?)
("Memory Loss" by Gummy)
I like this song.
(It's not a trot song.)
(Surprisingly, she chose to sing a rhythm and blues song.)
(Amazed)
(She shows off her emotional voice with the rhythm and blues song.)
(With her sweet vibrato,)
(she sings a sad song that conveys loneliness.)
(Fascinated)
(Everyone is completely absorbed in her song.)
(Some are busy guessing her identity.)
(Others are becoming one with the music.)
(Dorothy sings a rhythm and blues song with her own color.)
(You told me to get over you)
(But I told you I couldn't)
(The song is about the sorrow of parting.)
(With the groovy beats,)
(she gets into the melody.)
(Her sorrowful performance builds up to a rousing climax.)
(Amazed)
She's great.
(She gets into an emotional outburst.)
(Her powerful voice explodes hitting the high notes.)
(Dorothy's "Memory Loss" blew our minds.)
(She's the best.)
- She's the best. - She's good.
- She's good. - For a girl of such slender figure.
She sings really well.
Her challenger defeated Park Kyung Seo of miS=mR.
She won't stop until she reaches the top.
Love Comes Along the Ferris Wheel.
(Let's ride the Ferris Wheel...)
(and reach the top.)
(Look forward to my performance!)
(She will do a great job.)
I'm so curious about her.
I'm really curious, too.
She will strike hard. She wants to be the king.
(Her deep, thick voice sounds simple.)
(Ferris Wheel was full of charisma.)
She must have sung rock music before.
She's as slender as a model.
She stands like an athlete.
She can be either...
a master of singing or a very experienced entertainer.
That's what I think.
She may be Lee Sang Eun,
- a singer who sang "Damdadi". - Lee Sang Eun of "Damdadi".
(What's with this weird dance?)
Now we all know that she's not a singer.
She's not a singer for sure.
(Her identity is still a mystery.)
(Will we be able to find it out in this stage?)
("I Will Survive" by Jinju)
(What is happening?)
(Her clear voice doesn't disappoint us.)
(The voice strikes straight from the beginning.)
(Her charisma enchants the audience.)
(The fine groove makes...)
(the audience dance.)
(Excited)
(Dancing)
(The lilting groove...)
(delivers powerful energy.)
(Her high notes are as refreshing as fizzy soda.)
(Excited)
(I'll survive)
(She gathers all her energy...)
(and sings loud and clear.)
(Wow!)
Put your hands up.
(Put your hands up.)
(Let's have fun on Sunday evening.)
Come on, come on.
(Do you want me to come on the stage?)
(Laughing)
(Festive vibe binds the people together.)
(It's so exciting.)
(The audience's hand clapping creates a rhythmic wave.)
(I need to hear everyone shout.)
(Screaming)
(The studio is hot with excitement.)
(Don't look back.)
(Her high-pitched voice lifts hearts.)
(Her vocal chord has amazing power.)
(Look back.)
(Looking back)
(The studio is in a trance.)
(Even Dorothy, her competitor,)
(is under her spell at the moment.)
(In a second, her voice gets plaintive.)
(She manipulates emotions dexterously.)
(Ferris Wheel's voice is very charming.)
(Let's shake the town again.)
(Her charming, powerful voice rules the stage.)
(She fills the stage with one sentence,)
("I'll survive".)
(Everything is fine now.)
(The performance blows off the sorrow of break-up.)
(Ferris Wheel's "I'll Survive" was amazing.)
(Bravo)
It was so good. My pain is all gone.
It was good. It was really good.
The first match of Round Two, Semi-finals has ended.
Hwayobi, how did you like the song?
I can't wait to see them take off their masks.
I'm so sorry that I had to say that, but we are all so curious.
They will take off their masks...
only when they don't become the kings.
Right.
You want to become the king. I'm sorry.
That's how curious I am.
- I bet you are. - Yes.
Compared to her performance in Round One, how was she just now?
I think this song fitted her perfectly.
(She was as good as always.)
She was as good as always.
Did you say "She was as good as always"?
Do you know what song she usually sings?
- We all guessed her identity. - Did you?
- Thank you. - Do you think we are dumb?
- Of course. - Gosh.
- You are not dumb. - We all know who she is.
Do you know who she is?
While she was performing,
it looked as though she was getting a perm at a hair salon.
(It looks the same.)
It looked like it.
She led a quiet life in a remote village...
until the audience wanted her back.
Now, she got a perm...
and came back as a master of singing.
I know...
that she was famous for at least a decade,
so I think many people would know who she is by now.
- She was popular for a decade. - That's right.
Young Seok, doesn't Round Two feel a little different?
The song Dorothy sang...
actually makes the listeners...
stagger and stumble.
Also, the singer has to stay in the center of the song...
and keep the exact rhythm...
to make the listeners stagger.
The song is difficult in that sense.
She kept that challenging sense of rhythm...
without a single mistake until the end of the song.
Although I listened to her voice,
I still don't know whether her voice is that of an adult...
or just that of a youngster whose voice sounds mature.
- I'm still confused. - Are you?
In Round One, you guessed...
- that she may be young. - I did.
- You said she's in her late 20s. - Her voice is mature,
but it still has youthfulness.
Even in Round Two,
it's still hard to guess her exact age.
In Round One,
Jang Hyuk said that she may be...
a trot singer.
I watched her performance in Round One...
and today's Round Two.
When she sings a trot song, she sounds like a trot singer.
And when she sings hip-hop, she sounds like a hip-hop singer.
The same thing happens when she sings rock music.
She truly strikes me as a magician of voice.
When she sings,
she is filled with confidence.
As for Ferris Wheel,
I think her head is a bit opened.
Her voice comes right from her head.
That's the impression she gave me.
Her voice goes straight out.
It goes out in a straight line. Her soulful voice is so refreshing.
Her singing style resembles...
Chaka Khan, a pop singer's voice.
It was a wonderful performance.
I don't know whether Gu Ra guessed her identity or not,
- but I don't know who she is. - You don't, so far.
No.
Many people said...
- that Dorothy is old. - They all did last week.
I thought so, too, but now that I've watched her performance,
I think she may be younger than me.
You think that she can be younger than you.
- I'm 29 years old. - You are 29 years old,
- but you think she can be younger. - Yes.
- Is it possible? - I guess so.
- I think she's a bit young. - Right, I think so, too.
- I think she's young. - Her breathing...
and voice sound lively.
When you get old,
your breathing gets old, too.
It'd be funny if she turns out to be in her 50s.
I notice that you have trouble...
guessing Dorothy's identity.
I'll show you her specialty.
It's "The Phantom of the Opera".
(The song sung by Kim Yeon Woo and Bae Da Hae...)
(is remembered as one of the best duet songs.)
(Will she sing this song?)
Would you be able to sing the song alone?
Since it's a duet song, it will be hard to sing by myself.
I would appreciate it if the handsome Kai can help.
You want to sing with Kai.
- She wants to sing with Kai. - That's right.
- Kai will make you suffer. - Seriously.
Kai will make you suffer.
He is a professional. Would you be okay with that?
Please think of it as a cute request.
- Kai. - Would you be willing to help?
I will help her shine even more.
- Can you outshine her? - No. I will help her shine.
You should outshine her.
(Hesitant)
He will support her.
You should outshine her with your talent.
That's what you should do.
Kai, don't go easy on her.
- That's right. - Okay.
You need to sing to your fullest potential...
- so that we can gauge... - Only then will she do the same.
- who she is. - That's right.
- Okay. - Music, please.
("The Phantom of the Opera" by the handsome Kai)
(It's a duet performance by Dorothy and Kai.)
(How will they sing it?)
(Her voice is husky and resonant.)
(It's your turn.)
(His voice is dignified.)
(They sing with soul.)
(Neither one of them will back down since their pride is on the line.)
(The air is thick with tension.)
(My goodness.)
(The performance gives everyone goosebumps.)
Let's end it here.
They sang a duet.
Young Seok is giving a standing ovation.
- Kai. Kai. - Bravo.
(Kai is incredible.)
- Both of them survived. - They did, right?
Yes. Both of them survived.
They didn't sing the climax of the song.
- You are right. - They should have sung that part.
(It's this part.)
(The song requires the vocal range to extend three octaves.)
- There are some high notes. - They should have sung that part.
- Please think of it as a cute act. - You keep saying that.
I don't understand why you keep saying that.
- Her talent is not at that level. - She can't sing that part.
She can't sing that part.
I now think...
that she is an idol singer.
- What? - An idol singer.
Had there been a solo artist with her talent,
everyone would have recognized her.
I think she is an obscure idol singer.
All right. Now,
Ferris Wheel will let you hear her real voice.
She prepared a voice impression.
All right. She is tuning her voice.
You tune your voice in a strange way.
You hold your right side and tilt your head to the left.
(It's a strange way of tuning a voice.)
Are you ready? All right.
She will first give us a voice impression of Lee Sun Hee.
She will sing the famous song.
Let's see how well she sings it. Let us hear Lee Sun Hee's voice.
(Beautiful rivers and mountains)
Let's end it here.
- She only sang a little bit. - I want to hear more.
Next one is Kim Jong Seo.
Hold your side and tune your voice.
There you go. Let's hear it.
(Like winter rain)
(This is a sad song)
(What was that?)
- I am sorry. - Let's end it here.
(Wait a minute.)
I know that voice.
(They recognized the voice.)
Did you hear her say, "I am sorry"?
- Did you hear that? - Did she say, "I am sorry"?
Yes, she did.
Don't say anything when the voice change is turned off.
It seems like you are tuning your voice again.
She has talent in pansori.
Ferris Wheel, sing "Chunhyangga".
(Upon hearing the order)
(The servant sets out to get Chun Hyang)
(The servant is smart, the servant is well-mannered)
(He wears a lotus leaf over his head)
(And waddles over)
(He grabs a handful of rocks)
(And goes to a nightingale sitting on a willow)
(He throws rocks)
(Like a blue bird at a lake of Queen Mother of the West)
(He waddles over)
- Did she learn pansori? - She must have.
(He runs towards the house)
(Come here)
(Chun Hyang)
That's the end.
(It was amazing.)
(She is talented.)
She seems like a different person.
- She has an amazing talent. - Really?
I don't think one can sing so well without learning pansori.
She is not a professional pansori singer, is she?
Professional pansori singers have a hoarse voice.
Their voices are completely hoarse.
She did so well that people are wondering...
if she is a professional pansori singer.
She faced the audience...
and kept her legs straight when she sang.
It gave me an idea for her identity.
Among singers who were active in my era...
was someone who sang like her.
- Really? - Yes.
- What are her initials? - She reminds me of an artist...
- who was active in g.o.d's time. - I see.
She has long limbs and broad shoulders.
She is tall and has long hair.
If you are sure, give us her initials.
The initials are...
- K, - K.
- H, J. - K, H, J.
- K, H, J. - I think it's her.
- She was active in your time. - That's right.
All right. I will now announce...
the result of the first match of Round Two.
I will now reveal the winner...
of this unpredictable match.
Let's find out who will move on to Round Three.
(Her performance was full of rhythm and blues sentiments.)
(Will Dorothy win with her sentimental singing style?)
(Her clear voice lightens the audience's hearts.)
(She shook the stage with her unique voice.)
(Will Ferris Wheel win with her impressive singing skills?)
Who will be the first winner...
to move on to Round Three?
The winner is...
- The winner is... - The winner is...
What will happen?
(Will Dorothy get to continue on with her journey?)
(Will Ferris Wheel continue to run?)
(Who will be the winner?)
This is a close match.
Please show the result.
Who is the winner?
Dorothy won.
(Dorothy will continue to have adventures.)
(She will move on to Round Three.)
(It's sad that Ferris Wheel lost.)
(That's incredible.)
Dorothy beat Ferris Wheel and became the winner.
(The final score is 60 to 39.)
The final score is 60 to 39.
Dorothy became the winner with a difference of 21 votes.
Please return to your waiting room and prepare for Round Three.
Please give her a big hand.
(The shocking identity of Ferris Wheel will be revealed.)
Dorothy moved on to Round Three.
This is exciting.
I am very happy.
I was very nervous before the result was announced.
Let's find out who Ferris Wheel is.
Who could she be?
Please move to the back of the stage.
Now, Ferris Wheel, please take off your mask...
and reveal your face.
(She has a singing style of a rocker.)
(She skillfully conveyed emotions.)
(Her voice is straightforward.)
(She is eccentric and funny.)
(Ferris Wheel also has unexpected skills in pansori.)
(Is she a master of singing?)
(Is she an experienced singer?)
(Are her initials K, H, J?)
Please show us your face.
Ferris Wheel's face will be revealed.
(Please show us.)
She is hiding her face.
(Screaming)
(We love you.)
(This audience is so shocked that she is choking.)
What is it?
Who is she?
I have no idea.
Who is she?
(We are curious, too.)
She is a singer, Kim Hyun Jung.
(It was Kim Hyun Jung!)
(We haven't seen her for a while.)
Wow.
I knew it was her.
- I could tell from her body. - That's right.
I could tell from her limbs and shoulders.
I know.
(He is amazed to see his senior.)
Please say hello to the viewers.
Hello, it has been a while. My name is Kim Hyun Jung.
(She debuted in 1997 with "Breakup with Her".)
(She gained popularity as a beautiful singer with long legs.)
(Every album she released such as "Bruise",)
("Lonely Love", "Recurring Breakup" became a hit.)
(Turn everything back)
(It was the magical dance of the 2000.)
(She is a singer who made everyone shake their shoulders.)
(She ranked first in album sales as a solo female artist.)
(She ranked first in various music programs.)
(She appeared in a special episode of "Infinite Challenge" in 2015.)
(She showed that her singing skills have remained the same.)
(The talented vocalist, Kim Hyun Jung)
Actually, Hyun Jung always...
refuses to be on the shows that...
involve competition.
She said she didn't want to compete...
- with other singers. - Right.
Is there a reason for that?
It's not because I see myself as a great singer.
On those shows, people judge my performance.
I've had that experience since 1997 until now.
- It's been really competitive. - I see.
I'm so fed up with all that.
I'm really tired of it.
Besides, I had gallstones, so I had a surgery to remove them.
It was impossible for me to sing on stage.
That's why I had to reject the offers.
But they kept inviting me to this show since last year.
We called you many times trying to cast you on our show.
Yes, you did.
I wasn't sure if I could overcome myself,
but here I am on this stage. Thank you.
(It was a big step for her.)
(You're so great.)
Hyun Jung was famous...
as a pop singer and a dance singer who can sing very well.
She was always confident...
to say that she's a good singer.
She has such a refreshing voice.
Your performance today was so refreshing as well.
Thank you.
I hope you'll recover your health soon,
and let us enjoy your powerful song again.
I know.
The way I see it,
hair is an indicator of health.
- Okay. - Her hair looks great.
I think she will recover soon.
- Because of her hair? - Yes.
I guess you're very interested in hair.
I am very interested in hair. She has thick hair.
Since she has accumulated experience,
I think she can sing emotional songs from now on.
- I see. - It was...
- so great and refreshing. - That's right.
I didn't know you were sick.
You'll survive.
I see.
- Thank you. - Yes.
I believe more people will support you from now on.
It was Hyun Jung's great stage in a long time.
Please give her a big round of applause.
- Thank you. - Go, Hyun Jung!
(It's her signature dance.)
(Your stage was so exciting and fun.)
Goodbye.
(She looks disappointed.)
It's important to try and show people new things,
but I want to stay...
as the same person that everyone remembers.
I hope I'd be remembered as a singer who makes you happy...
and a singer you long to see.
I'll take good care of myself so that I can always...
stay close to you.
Thank you.
(It was Kim Hyun Jung, the long-legged beautiful singer.)
This is the result of Round Two.
Dorothy from The Wizard of Oz defeated Kim Hyun Jung...
and moved on to Round Three.
The second match of Round Two, Semi-finals.
He, who defeated Im Ho,
never gives up on becoming the King of Mask Singer.
Test Paper Receives 100.
(I will get a perfect score in Round Two as well.)
(Go, Test Paper!)
He seems to be a bit old, right?
I think his nickname means something.
You're right. He has a nice voice.
(He has a strong voice that goes up off the reel.)
(With a stable singing ability,)
(Test Paper gave an exciting performance.)
To all the test-takers in the country...
He sounds like a parent.
- All right. - He's a parent.
I think Test Paper is a bit older.
I saw him in the restroom during the break.
He was only making number one, but it took him a long time.
He's bending his arms. That's right.
That's good. Go on.
(He showed off his youthfulness.)
(Who is this mysterious man?)
(He is a great singer who makes you want to give him a perfect score.)
(What would be his ace in the hole...)
(to move on to Round Three?)
("I'm Sorry" by Kim Gun Mo)
It's Gun Mo's song.
(Mesmerized)
(Test Paper smoothly sings...)
(with his deep and melancholy emotions.)
(He maximizes his delicate emotions with a unique vocalization.)
Who is he?
(It doesn't matter who he is.)
(It's time to give ourselves up to his emotions.)
(He sings about his ardent feelings towards the woman he loves.)
(I'm sorry)
(His heart breaks whenever he thinks of his love.)
(The one thing I couldn't say to you)
(I love you)
(The panelists are fascinated by Test Paper's voice.)
He's singing so calmly.
(This is great.)
I think I know who he is.
I think I know. Maybe I'm wrong.
He's very calm.
(With calm performance,)
(he makes everyone emotional.)
(Who is Test Paper, who has a sincere voice?)
(House Band)
(Test Paper sings each note...)
(with his feelings that he hasn't been able to confess.)
(I'm sorry)
(My love)
(My love, my woman)
(I love you)
("I'm Sorry" by Test Paper, a sorrowful confession)
(He's so great.)
(Bravo)
I'm so surprised.
I think he's an experienced singer.
He's a great singer.
His singing was so stable.
His opponent...
defeated Jin Young of B1A4.
His voice raises your heartbeat.
Tin Man with a Burning Heart.
(Tin Man with a Burning Heart)
(He walks in bravely to find love.)
(Can you hear my heartbeat?)
(Pit-a-pat)
Here comes the master.
(Who is he?)
I heard a rumor about his identity.
I heard a rumor.
I'm not going to tell you.
(Smiling)
(He has a refreshing and soulful voice.)
(Tin Man's mellow voice melts your heart.)
He's clearly a rhythm and blues singer.
I think he's going to make it.
To Final Match?
(His charisma is gone.)
(He turned into a cute guy.)
(From singing to cute dancing, he's such a multiplayer.)
(Warming-up is done.)
(It's time for us to feel a shiver of excitement.)
(People are already expecting him to become the King of Mask Singer.)
(Let's enjoy Tin Man's Round Two performance.)
("Sometimes" by Crush)
(It's so soulful from the beginning.)
He's killing it from the beginning.
(It makes ladies' hearts flutter.)
(Like bitter-sweet chocolate,)
(his voice melts people's hearts.)
(He's extraordinary.)
(His voice reminds people of the time...)
(when their hearts were full of love.)
(Gosh, it's so mellow.)
(His voice brings back the old memories.)
(It's such a nostalgic voice.)
(He's outstanding.)
(It's giving me goosebumps.)
(His voice is so attractive.)
(It's just magical.)
(His bluesy scat...)
(makes people's hearts pound.)
(He plays freely with the rhythm.)
(He's full of groove.)
(His soulful voice touches people's hearts.)
(My gosh.)
(He's getting into the rhythm.)
(He has such a breathtaking voice.)
(You can even feel the delicate vibrato.)
(Wow)
(His rhythm and blues soul explodes.)
(It's so good.)
(He's fascinated.)
(He comforts people's hearts with his warm and deep emotion.)
(Everyone's heart is fluttering.)
(Tin Man, you're the best.)
- It's so surprising. - He's really good.
He's amazing.
His voice gave me a heart attack.
- Perfect! - This is crazy.
He's so good.
That was crazy.
The second match of Round Two, Semi-finals is over.
Let's hear Young Seok's thoughts.
Let me begin with Test Paper.
This is a great discovery.
- Are you serious? - Yes.
His voice tone is...
very smooth and gentle.
He pronounced the words...
and dealt with vibrato professionally.
It was so dramatic...
watching him maintain...
his stable breathing until the end.
I was blaming myself...
for not having found him in Round One.
You sang such a hard song...
without any difficulty.
As for Tin Man,
I told you that you're like a compressed file in Round One.
You finally uncompressed the file.
You know what's amazing?
Your voice tone lightens itself...
like a firefly.
Your voice shines as it is.
Therefore, it melts the audience's hearts...
without using any impact or sound effects.
He has such a nice voice tone.
His singing technique is amazing as well.
You know how some people have the technique...
of getting out of a maze in straight lines?
He showed everything.
It made me think that...
he could be the one who becomes the King of Mask Singer.
Jang Hyuk, I saw you being...
so amazed by listening to their songs.
- They killed it for sure. - Oh, did they?
Yes. When Test Paper sang "I'm Sorry",
it felt as if he's feeling truly sorry.
I don't know if you're married,
but it sounded like...
you had a lot to feel sorry to your wife.
Your singing was so truthful. Thank you.
What about Tin Man?
As soon as he sang the first line,
the whole studio was flooded with his emotions.
I wonder how he makes that kind of emotional voice.
It gave me goosebumps.
I could feel the power within him.
Like how DinDin previously said...
- I want her at home. - he wanted to take me home,
I want to cling onto Tin Man's cloak and follow wherever he goes.
Oh, my gosh.
How was it, Kai?
As for Tin Man,
if there was a robot made to sing perfectly,
it should be modelled after him.
He was that perfect.
Was it necessary for him to wear those pink pants?
(What's wrong with them?)
He was perfect and...
- it was the best performance. - It was the best.
For Test Paper,
- I think I know who he is. - Did you get the feeling?
Including myself,
a lot of musical actors aspired to become like him.
He was highly respected and admired by everyone.
So only by hearing his voice and watching his gesture,
I could easily guess who he is.
Kai says he might know who he is.
I'm sure everyone here knows him.
(They still look puzzled though.)
Some people have noticed who he is.
Joon, you said that Test Paper...
must be old in Round One.
- What do you think now? - Compared to last week,
my mind hasn't changed.
- It hasn't. - I still think that...
he's pretty old.
It's because of his singing technique.
He's not using any other singing skills.
He sets the song's atmosphere only by his voice tone.
That's how he's fully into his song...
while singing.
It's okay if you take long to pee.
Your emotion was amazing.
I was so surprised.
- Can Man. - No, it's Tin Man.
In Tin Man's case,
he was so similar to the 90s rhythm and blues singer...
called Tevin Campbell.
His voice and style is...
so similar to his.
(He is a rhythm and blues genius who has four octave voice range.)
(He was cast at the age of eleven by Quincy Jones.)
Actually, rhythm and blues landed Korea not long ago.
But you sang the genuine rhythm and blues, not pretending.
I'm so proud of you.
Your performance was amazing.
You were the best today.
Last week, I said that he doesn't have any specialty.
But I changed my mind. He doesn't need one.
Singing is his specialty.
He doesn't have to show anything else.
- Is that what you mean? - Yes, but I'd like to see.
Tin Man...
has prepared an upgrade version of his dancing.
Music, please.
(Metallic sound)
(Focused)
(He's spreading his cloak.)
(Tin Man has spread his wings.)
(He moves like a robot.)
What a robot!
(I'm Tin Man of love.)
(Waving)
(Is that belly dancing?)
(To keep his burning heart,)
(he came to King of Mask Singer.)
He knows what he's doing.
(It was Tin Man's cuteness-overload dancing.)
That's it.
It was a robot dance.
His dancing has improved a lot.
- Do you think so? - Yes.
It's Test Paper's turn.
He can yodel very well.
Let us hear your yodeling.
(Singing a yodel)
(It sounds like a refreshing breeze from the Alps.)
(Singing a yodel)
(Is he a Swiss or what?)
(You are traveling Switzerland with Test Paper.)
That's it.
That was a good yodel.
Jin Joo, can you sing any other songs...
- apart from "Onara" for us? - All of a sudden?
Yes, please. We'd be happy to hear that after the yodel.
I'm not good at yodeling,
- but I can sing pansori. - Pansori?
Yes, I will just give it a shot today.
Please sing pansori for us.
(A good friend to meet)
(MBC King of Mask Singer)
(Wow)
(Jin Joo has a precious voice, indeed.)
(Girl in Raincoat never disappoints us.)
That was improvised but great.
I will give you a decisive clue about Test Paper's identity.
He will show you some pantomimes.
I want to see that.
You can appreciate his acting skills with it.
Let's say a man is walking on the street.
A man is walking on the street. That's good.
- He's good. - He's walking quietly.
Suddenly, he finds a rope.
He saw a rope on the street.
He wonders what it is.
He pulls the rope out of curiosity.
He pulls it hard.
- But it is quite heavy. - What is that?
He keeps pulling it.
What is hanging at the end of the rope?
He keeps pulling it hard.
Then he sees a wild beast at the end of the rope.
A wild beast turns up.
(Trembling)
That's it. This is what he has.
(It was quite real.)
This is Round Two, Semi-finals.
I will announce the result of the second match of Round Two.
He has a deep resonant voice with great singing skills.
Test Paper Receives 100.
And he has a soulful voice which sounds trendy.
Tin Man with a Burning Heart.
I'll now reveal...
the winner of this match.
(The winner is being revealed.)
(Clear voice and sentimental emotions)
(Test Paper has a rich voice like the aroma of strong coffee.)
(Bluesy voice and explosive grooves)
(Tin Man has an addictive voice like dark chocolate.)
Let's find out who will move on to Round Three.
The winner is...
(It is a match between original ballad and rhythm and blues.)
(Skillful Test Paper or soulful Tin Man?)
Who won?
We have two male masked singers here.
Test Paper versus Tin Man.
Tin Man versus Test Paper.
Who will move on to Round Three?
The winner is Tin Man.
(The robot's heart beats.)
(It's a victory of a soulful voice.)
(Tin Man did it.)
(Test Paper, you did a good job.)
(They had an incredible match.)
Tin Man wins.
(Congratulations)
Tin Man beat Test Paper...
with a final score of 73 to 26.
Dorothy and Tin Man will be singing in Round Three.
Please go back to your waiting room.
Please give him a round of applause.
(The shocking identity of Test Paper will be revealed soon.)
Tin Man moved on...
to Round Three.
(He walks off the stage with joy.)
I'm happy. I really am,
but I shouldn't make it obvious for my opponent.
Wait for me, King of Mask Singer. My burning heart is coming.
Who is Test Paper then?
Test Paper, please get ready.
Now, Test Paper, please take off your mask...
and reveal your face.
(His pronunciation and vibrato were professional.)
(Everyone here should know him.)
(He was able to set the atmosphere solely with his voice tone.)
(His yodeling was professional too.)
(He's even good at pantomimes.)
(A lot of musical actors looked up to him and admired him.)
Who is he then?
(Who is this man...)
(who made us wonder?)
Test Paper is...
(Why? Who is he?)
Test Paper is...
the first generation musical actor, Nam Kyung Joo.
(Nam Kyung Joo?)
(It's unbelievable.)
He's Nam Kyung Joo!
(It's great to see you here.)
(She's shouting with joy.)
It's been 35 years since his debut.
He is a living legend in the Korean musical scene.
- He is Nam Kyung Joo. - Hello, it's nice to meet you.
Please say hello to our viewers.
I'm a musical actor, Nam Kyung Joo. It's nice to meet you.
(It's been 35 years since his debut.)
(He marked a new era in Korean musical history.)
(He is a first-generation musical actor who has graced the country.)
(He gives the best performances...)
(with his great singing ability.)
(He's dominated the musical scene sweeping a lot of awards.)
(He is a living legendary musical actor, Nam Kyung Joo.)
How did you feel singing in a school uniform?
I was pleased to sing in King of Mask Singer.
I've worked as a musical actor for more than 30 years,
but I couldn't help but wonder...
if anyone would recognize my voice.
In fact, I only get to meet a limited type of people on stage.
So I was wondering if people would notice my voice.
Fortunately, the musical actors and my close friends recognized me.
I heard you tell people that you still have a lot to learn.
I feel a bit ashamed...
when people call me a living legend or something.
So I just try...
to become a good example to junior musical actors.
That's why I take tap dance lessons,
ballet lessons, and vocal lessons with them...
whenever I get a chance.
I just try to learn something new all the time.
I believe it is how to become an example to other actors.
Kai, what do you think...
is the best thing about Kyung Joo?
I know he is held in very high regard.
It is impossible to appreciate his value only with a song.
It's only recent...
that musical became popular in this country.
And he has been a pioneer of musical from the very beginning.
Just his presence in the scene means a lot to us.
We have the greatest respect for him.
Thank you.
I know you are married and have a daughter.
You wanted your daughter to see you sing on TV.
- Right. - Why is that?
She is still too young to watch a musical I'm working on.
She just started watching some musicals this year.
Still, she is too young to appreciate it yet.
She will be very happy to see me...
singing on TV.
It is one of the reasons why I decided to join this program.
Your daughter must be watching you on TV now.
Do you want to say anything to her? You are such a devoted dad.
Go Eun, it's me.
I know you are busy working on rhythmic gymnastics.
But if you learn how to enjoy every single moment of your life,
you will become a person who knows how to enjoy life to the fullest.
Go Eun, you can do it.
(You can do it, my girl.)
(He is a wonderful father.)
That was amazing.
Today, he cast off his image as a first-generation musical actor...
and sang freely and bravely behind a mask.
Please give a big hand again...
- to Kyung Joo. - Thank you.
Thank you.
(We look forward to your future endeavors.)
I really enjoyed it today.
I feel relieved as it is over.
Things are tough in the musical industry these days.
I want musical actors and actresses to hang in there with endurance.
It takes a very long time...
for a person to bloom as a musical actor.
I'd like to stay with other actors on the stage for a long time...
until they bloom.
Thanks to King of Mask Singer,
I could sing on TV...
and even show my specialty which was a bit lame.
I think it was a good opportunity to reach out to you and be friendly.
I hope to see you...
and interact with you more often from now on.
I also hope to meet you at the theater.
Thank you.
Tin Man with a Burning Heart beat Nam Kyung Joo...
and moved on to Round Three.
The mysterious music show, King of Mask Singer.
We have the final round left...
to decide the 43rd King of Mask Singer.
Now I will bring the two masked singers...
who will be singing in Final Round...
out on the stage again.
Please give them a round of applause.
(Go, Dorothy! Go, Tin Man!)
(Dorothy from The Wizard of Oz versus Tin Man with a Burning Heart)
Dorothy and Tin Man are coming on the stage.
Dorothy and Tin Man will sing against each other in Final Round.
The finalist will be decided in this round.
- Dorothy, - Yes.
I'd like to hear what you think of having moved on to Final Round.
First of all, I still can't believe it.
I sincerely thank you all.
Tin Man, how do you feel about having moved on to Final Round?
I'm so happy that I could perform all the songs I've practiced.
Is performing all the songs you've practiced your goal?
(Well...)
I want to be the king.
You do.
Do you have anything to say to the king?
King. With my burning heart,
I'll take your throne.
(Surprised)
- Dorothy, - Yes.
if you have anything to say to the king, say it now.
Popcorn Girl, I've tried so hard...
to be on this stage.
I'd like you to hand over the position to me.
(Surprised)
Thank you for your effort.
She looks very soft,
yet she speaks so frankly.
Popcorn Girl, do you have anything to tell them?
Yes. If you want this throne,
come and get it.
Come and get it if you can.
- How lovely. - It is.
This stage can be your last.
Round Three, Final Round.
Let's see Dorothy's performance first.
- She puts her feet more widely. - Right.
She's about to have some fun.
It's a shoulder width.
(Her identity is a mystery,)
(but she does have an amazing talent.)
(To defeat Tin Man, her rival...)
(and compete against the king,)
(what will Dorothy sing?)
("U&I" by Ailee)
- It's a song by Ailee. - Wow.
(Let's have some fun.)
(Everyone is enchanted...)
(by Dorothy's magical world.)
(Dorothy regained her powerful voice.)
(Her voice is filled with groove.)
(The distinctive nasal voice sounds so attractive.)
(Her singing style is so natural.)
(She rules the stage at her will.)
(I'm so fed up)
(We always have the same problem.)
(It's Dorothy's dance time.)
(She's enchanting...)
(and cute.)
(Dorothy's unpredictable charm...)
(makes everyone want to dance.)
Who is she?
(Who would she be?)
(Her husky voice is full of charisma.)
(I'm so sick of your lies and excuses)
(The bass falls heavily on ears.)
(To the man who bothers her,)
(she sings back with charisma.)
(With stable breathing,)
(Dorothy gently touches emotion.)
(Impressed)
(Her voice blows the stress off.)
(Dorothy's "U&I" was full of charisma.)
- Wow. - She has cute charisma.
She's a cute heroine.
- Who is she? - Yes.
When she danced in the middle of the song,
- she seemed old. - Right.
She definitely isn't young.
The singer competing against her...
defeated Jin Young of B1A4...
and Nam Kyung Joo, the musical actor.
His voice blazes brightly...
to become the king.
Tin Man with a Burning Heart.
(Tin Man with a Burning Heart)
(The rain of love is falling...)
(on your mind.)
(I'm melting down already.)
He's a game changer.
(We loved Dorothy's performance,)
(but his performance is expected to be good.)
It's a close-run.
He walks so wimpishly.
Judging by his looks, he's not a good singer.
Even his shoulders are bent forward.
This is not an easy match.
(A singer should not be judged by his looks.)
(His talent is what we count on.)
(The competitors watch him...)
(in tension.)
(What song will Tin Man sing...)
(to set the panelists' hearts on fire?)
("Station" by Panic)
He will sing this song with his mournful voice.
(Gosh, it's "Station".)
(Wow)
(His lonely and beautiful voice...)
(catches ears.)
(He's good.)
(Soaked in his sweet voice is...)
(endless sorrow.)
(Gosh)
(His detailed emotions make us feel...)
(like we were there on the day.)
(On a windy evening,)
(you must have waited for so long.)
(I had forgotten how dear you were to me.)
(Warmth of happiness surges from deep inside.)
(At the station I always stop at)
(Among the strangers,)
(it's only you who catch my eyes.)
(Even though I am a fool who is lacking in many ways,)
(you waited for me without a complaint.)
(There are things I want to say, but I am rendered speechless.)
(I can only embrace you while my eyes turn teary.)
(Tin Man shed hot tears with his heart.)
(The audience continues to cheer.)
(It was incredible.)
(Wow)
(The lingering emotions make her smile.)
He is an artist.
- I can't even stand up. - You cried.
I couldn't help but shed tears.
(The moving performance brought tears to the audience's eyes.)
Thus, Final Round came to an end.
King of Mask Singer, how do you feel?
Watching their performances...
made my mind go blank.
I don't remember anything about my performance.
- I don't know what to do. - Did you lose confidence?
(Sighing)
- My goodness. - This is bad.
Since they did a good job, I will give them popcorns.
All right. "Have some popcorns."
Don't be nervous.
We are looking forward to your performance as well.
Please move to the back of the stage...
and prepare for Final Match. Please give her a big hand.
King of Mask Singer will prepare for her performance.
Round Two was quite different from Round Three.
Kai, what did you think?
Upon hearing...
Tin Man sing,
I felt strong envy.
He conveyed his emotions...
in his song.
It takes talent to be able to deliver...
such emotions to the audience by 100 percent.
It was like watching a master potter at work.
Let's say a potter made something out of clay.
It may look perfect to a layman,
but he or she often crumbles it without hesitation...
- because of an imperfection. - That's right. It happens.
I felt like he was at that level.
Every note and every breath...
contained deep passion and thoughts.
He may be unsatisfied...
even if everyone compliments him.
Then he will break it apart.
He will break it over and over again.
He will work tirelessly until a masterpiece is born.
His performance made me certain...
that he is a talented singer who works diligently.
As for Dorothy, she is perfect...
in terms of singing, breathing, and hitting high and low notes.
I am certain that she is a singer...
with perfect techniques...
who rarely makes mistakes.
It's possible that she is already famous.
If not, I believe...
she will rise to the top...
through King of Mask Singer. It was an amazing performance.
- She has incredible potentials. - That's right.
Jang Hyuk, what did you think about the two performances...
of Round Three?
Tin Man, don't you feel dizzy?
- He must feel dizzy. - Why do you say that?
I've never seen someone breathe out so much during a performance.
It's incredibly hard...
to breathe out as he has.
That must be why he has...
incredible falsetto.
His falsetto was unearthly.
He alternated between falsetto and chest voice.
It's a difficult feat.
He is the master of control.
(He melts frozen hearts.)
I enjoyed the warm sound of your breaths.
(Thank you.)
Jin Joo.
You looked as if you were touched by the performance.
Even when I watch sad movies or dramas,
I don't cry.
I have never cried from listening to a song.
Despite knowing that Tin Man's song...
is not directed at me,
I felt that way.
I was so grateful, overjoyed, and happy that I shed tears.
- He sang, "My love". - I became his love.
It sounded like "Jin Joo, my love".
It felt like he was saying, "Jin Joo, thank you for being you."
(My love)
(Jin Joo, my love)
(Yes, it's me.)
(Thank you for being you)
(Jin Joo, thank you for being you.)
I see.
Yangpa, what did you think?
It feels as though Tin Man...
changed the universe with his voice alone.
That's how commanding his performance was.
Even though he made full use of oxygen,
he didn't show shortness of breath...
or lack of emotions until the end.
He pushed...
even further...
and completed the performance.
(Thank you.)
This is what I have to say about Dorothy.
While "U&I" is a song...
that is very hard to sing,
it's not very noticeable when you sing it well.
That's what I think.
However, she didn't run out of breath...
or miss a note.
She completed the song...
with direction and composure.
Idol singers train...
so that their voices don't waver even when they dance.
Components of her performance...
made me draw that conclusion.
She sang a song by Gummy in Round Two...
and a song by Ailee in Round Three.
She gave perfect performances...
of technically difficult songs.
She must feel that...
the die is cast.
If I may explain in my own terms,
it's like soaking your body in warm water at a bathhouse...
and letting the scrubber take over.
You have done everything you can do.
The rest of the work is up to the scrubber.
The ball is in the audience's court.
She has done everything she can do.
- That's right. - She gave satisfying performances.
Fate will decide on the result.
That's what I wanted to say. As for Tin Man...
- Tin Man. - Robots are programmed.
- That's right. - It's the same for Terminator.
He was programmed to save John Connor.
This man's goal is becoming the King of Mask Singer.
- That's how he was programmed. - Thank you for your comments.
Now, I will announce the result...
of Round Three.
Dorothy from The Wizard of Oz has a soulful and powerful voice.
Tin Man with a Burning Heart...
has a voice like a black hole that draws you in.
Between the two masked singers,
I will reveal the one...
who will move on to 43rd Final Match.
(The winner will be revealed.)
Who will be the winner?
(Groove, power, and soul)
(With energy that is as powerful as magic,)
(Dorothy commanded the stage.)
(Frozen hearts would have melted...)
(after his touching performance with warmth of love.)
(Tin Man has a burning heart.)
Who will be the winner...
and become the rival...
of Popcorn Girl Takes Your Order?
The winner is...
(King of Mask Singer)
- The winner is... - The winner is...
Dorothy is the heroine in the book.
(Will Dorothy remain a heroine?)
(I root for Tin Man.)
I will now reveal the winner of Round Three.
Please show the result.
(Tin Man with a Burning Heart won.)
Tin Man won.
(Tin Man is the winner.)
(Tin Man's burning heart...)
(beat Dorothy's magic.)
(King of Mask Singer of Oz)
(The hero is Tin Man.)
Tin Man beat Dorothy.
The final score is 82 to 17.
With a big difference in votes,
Tin Man beat Dorothy and became the candidate...
of King of Mask Singer.
Please move to the back and watch Final Match.
Please give him a big hand.
(You were so great.)
Tin Man is now qualified to compete...
with the King of Mask Singer.
(He still walks shyly.)
Thank you.
(Excited)
(Delighted)
It's Final Match now. Wait for it, King of Mask Singer.
She has come this far receiving so many compliments.
Who can she be?
- I'm sure it was hard... - Who is she?
for you to guess who she is.
Let's reveal her identity.
Please move to the back.
Now, Dorothy, please take off your mask...
and reveal your face.
(Her voice is mature and her singing skills come from experience.)
(She must be at least in her 30s.)
(She's a magician of voice.)
(From breathing to range of notes,)
(she was perfectly stable.)
(Let alone her identity,)
(even her age is a mystery.)
(Who is Dorothy? Nobody has a clue.)
Reveal your face.
(I can't see her face.)
She is...
(I can't believe this.)
- Who is it? - They're surprised.
- They don't know her. - Who is it?
What is it?
Reveal your face.
She is...
Monika, the lead vocalist of Badkiz.
(Monika, the lead vocalist of Badkiz)
- Monika? - Badkiz?
(Who is that?)
Ear attack
"Ear Attack"?
(Badkiz is a unique five-member group.)
(Many people posted the parody videos on the internet.)
(Badkiz became popular with their song, "Ear Attack".)
(Monika is their lead vocalist...)
(who has an exotic look,)
(and a great singing ability.)
It was Monika, the main vocalist of...
the group, Badkiz, who debuted three years ago.
Please say hello to the viewers.
Hello. I'm Monika, the main vocalist of Badkiz.
- It's good to see you. - It's Monika.
Yes. In Round One, we saw how fluent she was...
in foreign languages.
She knows how to speak five different languages.
Actually, my father is a German.
I attended an international school,
so I can speak many languages.
I see. What's your nationality?
I didn't have Korean citizenship,
but I decided to be naturalized as a Korean citizen to become a singer.
So I acquired Korean citizenship.
- You were naturalized. - Yes.
Your song, "Ear Attack" became quite popular.
First of all, let's watch the popular dance...
of "Ear Attack".
"Ear Attack" sounds like a song I'd like very much.
I wonder why I haven't heard of it.
Music, please.
(Ear attack)
(Gosh, I love it.)
(Slapping)
(No wonder why this dance became popular.)
(The song and dance are very addictive.)
(It's straightforward.)
- All right. - It's a good song.
- Ear attack - Why didn't it get more popular?
- Why didn't it get more popular? - Slap, slap
- It's funny. - It is.
Thank you.
- She has a very elegant look. - I know.
- She does. - It doesn't match the song.
- The song... - She looks like Song Hye Kyo.
Gosh, thank you.
I heard people have a bias on you because of your song.
Yes. Our song is very funny...
and addictive.
Our members are also funny,
and we dress up like powerful girls.
But we're trying...
to show you different songs from various genres.
Did people say that your group...
- can't sing very well? - Yes.
I think you broke all the biases people have on you.
People must've realized that...
Badkiz is a group of great singers.
Your stage was good enough to prove that.
From now on, I think...
many people will become your fans.
They'll believe that your group has a great singing ability.
- All right. - Thank you.
(Thank you for a great stage.)
She showed off her hidden talents and singing ability...
on stage today.
It was Monika of Badkiz.
Please give her a big hand.
Thank you.
(We'll look forward to your great performance in the future.)
I was so overwhelmed.
Thank you so much for giving me this great opportunity.
Taking this opportunity,
I hope you'll enjoy our songs from different genres in the future.
Please support our group.
Give us a lot of love.
(Give us a lot of love.)
This is the result of Round Three.
Tin Man with a Burning Heart defeated Monika of Badkiz...
and moved on to Final Match.
The mysterious music show, King of Mask Singer.
What remains is the stage of Popcorn Girl Takes Your Order...
to defend her title as the King of Mask Singer.
What kind of performance did Popcorn Girl prepare...
to achieve her fourth win?
Let's watch Final Match to determine...
the 43rd King of Mask Singer.
The 43rd Final Match.
She's here to conquer the storm once again.
She rides high for her four consecutive wins.
The 42nd King of Mask Singer,
Popcorn Girl Takes Your Order.
(Popcorn Girl Takes Your Order)
(With a feeling of soft happiness,)
(Popcorn Girl appears on stage.)
(We've been waiting for you.)
(Welcome, Popcorn Girl.)
Popcorn Fatale.
Her singing is flawless.
(Amazed)
(They reveal her mask.)
I think her popcorn increased.
Is that real popcorn?
That's real popcorn.
- Really? - It keeps dropping.
(Popcorn Girl is ready.)
(Tension builds up.)
(The emotions that Tin Man left are still lingering.)
(What song did she choose?)
(Will she be able to defeat Tin Man?)
It'll be an upbeat song.
("Chitty Chitty Bang Bang" by Lee Hyo Ri)
(She starts off with a shout.)
(This is what I was waiting for.)
(Today, she'll capture women's hearts.)
(Your words)
(Make me laugh)
(She's such a charismatic woman.)
(She rules the stage from the start.)
(I'm a loner)
(Don't waste your energy)
(Wow)
(She feels the rhythm with her entire body.)
(Amazed)
(The strong beat never stops.)
(She's amazing.)
(You're the best!)
(She's even dancing to the beat.)
(Hush)
(Her intense charisma fills up the studio.)
(Let's go!)
(You're no match to me)
(Just listen to what I say)
(Your words make me laugh)
(I'm going to beat you up)
(Her stage fascinates everyone.)
(Wake up)
(She shouts fiercely.)
(Let's go!)
(Gosh)
(Popcorn Girl sang "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang" with charisma.)
(It ends with standing ovations from the audience.)
That was amazing.
(Wow)
(Whistling)
(Why won't it work?)
(That was great.)
She is unbelievable.
It's not easy to beat her.
She's like a ghost.
She's nonhuman.
Chitty Chitty Bang Bang
That's it. I love it.
(He loves it.)
Final Match is over.
It's time to make a choice.
Tin Man with a Burning Heart is number one.
Popcorn Girl Takes Your Order is number two.
It is the last choice for the 43rd King of Mask Singer.
Who do you want to become the King of Mask Singer?
All votes are in.
Young Seok, I'd like to hear how you liked their performances.
- I have no idea. - Why?
They are just neck-and-neck.
- They sang totally different songs. - They have their own colors.
Right. I have no idea...
which song the panelists here liked better.
The important thing is...
that Popcorn Girl brings tension whenever she sings.
It's not that Popcorn Girl is tense.
I become tense when she appears on the stage.
Her singing style is like a feline beast...
slinking toward its prey...
with back and shoulder muscles.
She makes a stealthy approach but never misses her target.
She is vicious.
She's like a ferocious beast.
And that blows people's minds.
That captures people's hearts.
For the climax of her performances,
she lays good-textured bed stones from the beginning.
I guess her winning streak may continue today.
But I'm not so sure.
It is just a matter of personal taste.
We don't yet know who will be chosen.
Hyun Chul, what do you think?
Tin Man sang "Sometimes" in Round Two.
I thought rhythm and blues songs were his only forte.
A lot of rhythm and blues singers...
are not good at holding a note for a long time.
(Rhythm and blues singers create ad-libs with the last note.)
(Ad-libbing)
They tend to ad-lib the melody and rhythm of a song...
by varying the notes.
But when he sang "Station" in Round Three,
he sounded completely different.
Sometimes it was loose,
and sometimes it was loud.
But he did a good job holding back the whole thing.
He sang the song "Station" well just for the lyrics.
It was sung very well.
(He seemed to be a rhythm and blues singer,)
(but he changed his singing style for the song.)
(Admiring)
I just want to thank him for that. I really appreciate it.
- What about Popcorn Girl? - And Popcorn Girl.
When Lee Hyo Ri released "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang",
it was more like a dance song.
However, Popcorn Girl made it into a funky song.
(The original song is a hip-hop based dance song.)
(But with Popcorn Girl's funky voice,)
(the song created a totally different feeling.)
And the lyrics...
tell you something.
"You are no match for me."
(You are no match for me!)
(I'm sorry, forgive me.)
(Oh, I forgot to turn off the gas.)
(Where are you going?)
I think Popcorn Girl said...
what she wanted to say with the lyrics.
It was her message to Tin Man.
Right. That's how I felt.
Actually, I once tried to sing...
"Chitty Chitty Bang Bang" for a singing competition.
But I hesitated to do so because...
the song doesn't have a distinctive narrative arc.
It is not easy to show off your singing ability...
- with this song. - I see.
Nevertheless, she gave a charismatic performance...
with her great singing skills.
The song is a bit flat, but she varied it...
by rapping and dancing. She's a good dancer too.
(She feels shy.)
I enjoyed it very much.
Okay. Gu Ra.
She's seeking for a four-game winning streak.
I guess Tin Man knows...
who the King of Mask Singer is.
The current king?
Yes. We all know who she is.
As he knows about his opponent.
he could plan to sing against her.
- That's what I think. - That's the important thing.
I believe that's why...
he chose to sing...
"Station" by Panic in Round Three.
Meanwhile, Popcorn Girl gained self-confidence...
from the last round.
She must have had some obligation...
to sing something new.
She just can't sing only the songs she's good at.
That is why she chose this song.
And that was bad timing.
The talented rhythm and blues singer...
sang against her today.
I guess that's the point we should focus on.
That's what makes it hard to guess the result for today.
Let's say she is good at making pancakes,
but today, she served salad instead.
If she served pancakes,
she'd have been unbeatable.
Yoon Seok, what is your opinion?
Popcorn Girl has sung pretty much every genre of songs.
I believe she is constantly challenging herself.
The song she sang today...
sounded almost like a hardcore song or a rap-metal song.
She took on a new challenge for a different genre...
and did a good job.
She even looked like...
Fin.K.L in one body.
She's got Lee Hyo Ri's feeling,
Oak Joo Hyun's singing ability,
Sung Yu Ri's figure, and Lee Jin's dance skills.
- I see. - She is like the four put together.
I felt that way.
The whole group in her.
- I know. - She showed every aspect of them.
Right. As I said earlier,
she was like femme Popcorn.
She constantly challenges herself which is beautiful.
That's what I'd like to say.
Meanwhile, Tin Man was...
like laser-created semiconductor circuit.
- His voice was so delicate. - As delicate as semiconductor?
It was perfect.
Yoon Seok, may I ask you a point-blank question?
Are we having a new king today or not?
I thought Popcorn Girl faced the biggest crisis last week.
But?
It turns out she's facing it today.
Is it worse than last week?
It is way worse than the three-sided battle.
I see.
Did the panelists like...
Popcorn Girl's choice?
Who will be ascending to the throne?
I'll now reveal the 43rd...
King of Mask Singer.
(It'll be revealed now.)
Who is the winner?
(With his sweet and soulful voice,)
(he caught the ears of the audience from Round One.)
(The singing AlphaGo revealed his true colors.)
(He moved to the groove...)
(singing a beautiful rhythm and blues song in Round Two.)
(Then he showed his boundless emotions.)
(His explosive mournful singing...)
(captivated people's hearts.)
(Popcorn Girl's shocking transformation)
(She dominated the stage with her powerful energy.)
(She challenged herself rapping and dancing.)
(She sang "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang" with her enchanting charisma.)
What's your choice for the 43rd King of Mask Singer?
The winner is...
(The King of Mask Singer)
The winner is...
(It is the end of this fierce journey.)
I'm so nervous.
I'm thrilled.
(It is a head-to-head battle between emotion and energy.)
(It is a matter of personal taste.)
(Now is the time to face the result.)
Show us.
Show us the result.
Who is the winner?
Is Popcorn Girl winning her four consecutive victories?
Or are we having the new King of Mask Singer?
Who is the 43rd King of Mask Singer?
Show us.
Show us the result.
(Tin Man with a Burning Heart wins.)
Tin Man with a Burning Heart wins.
(Sighing)
Tin Man wins.
(Tin Man's burning heart...)
(melted the hearts of the panelists.)
(He defeated the great vocalist...)
(and became the new King of Mask Singer.)
(Amazed)
(From somewhere comes the cry of someone.)
(He can't believe that Popcorn Girl lost.)
Tin Man put an end to Popcorn Girl's winning streak.
The final score is 59 to 40.
(Congratulations)
Tin Man has become the 43rd King of Mask Singer.
He is granted the golden mask and the robe.
Tim Man has become the 43rd King of Mask Singer.
We had a three-cornered battle last week.
It was very fierce...
I don't know if your mouth is in the right position.
Good. Here you go.
Tin Man, the new king,
do you have anything to say?
Well...
(He seems to be deeply moved.)
Well...
(You did a great job.)
I'm so happy to become the king.
Actually, my heart runs so fast...
that I can't think of any word.
Anyway, thank you so much.
Okay.
We will get to see Tin Man...
next week.
You will have to leave immediately after the parade.
Give him a big hand, please.
(Tin Man is the cute king.)
He stopped Popcorn Girl's fourth successive victory.
(He waves his hand shyly.)
Tin Man has become the new King of Mask Singer.
He won your hearts...
and became the king.
(He exits slowly.)
My heart was about to explode. I think it's really burning.
She is the king who showed many legendary performances.
Popcorn Girl, please move to the back of the stage.
Now, Popcorn Girl, please take off your mask...
and reveal your identity.
(The heartbreaking emotion...)
(and a shriek of grief...)
(made "Where Are You" a legendary performance.)
The winner is...
(She moved many people.)
Popcorn Girl.
(She moved many people.)
(With powerful and classy voice,)
(she presented the performance to perfection.)
(With a new color and sensibility,)
(her touching, ethereal voice...)
(left an unforgettable impression.)
Who will she be? Her identity is revealed soon.
She takes off her mask.
(It's nice to see you.)
She finally meets you.
She is...
a very talented vocalist,
Ali.
(She's one of Korea's top-notch divas.)
(Ali was Popcorn Girl.)
(It's nice to see you.)
Hello, Nice to meet you. I'm Ali.
(She debuted in 2009 with "365 Days".)
(She grabbed attention as a talented rookie.)
("I Tried Everything", "Erase", and "Don't Act Countrified" are famous.)
(Her incredible voice is second to none.)
(Ali is the master of voice.)
You took your mask off in two months.
Yes. I haven't come to a realization yet.
I don't know what to say.
Were you happy wearing the mask?
Of course. I was so happy.
If you hear only my voice,
you could think that I'd be stubborn and cold-blooded.
The photos used to introduce me...
are always me in bright hair...
and smoky makeup.
I always saw those photos.
However, I'm not usually like that.
I'm sensitive and playful, too.
I wanted you to know...
that I'm also a little shy.
The mask played a huge role.
It's the mask of a girl.
Young Seok, you were very fond of her.
A word of encouragement, please.
I wanted to keep listening...
to her fine songs.
It took a huge part of my happiness...
that made me come here.
Now that I don't have that happiness any more,
you will have to encourage me.
- You are sad. - I'm so sad.
Why do you ask her to encourage you?
She's the one who got defeated.
Young Seok is in tears.
What's your next schedule? Tell him so that he can listen to you there.
(Follow her and hear her sing.)
Your problem is solved.
Young Seok even said before...
that Popcorn Girl changes the atmosphere.
He was looking forward to her performances.
To the viewers who supported you,
please say a word.
Before I performed on this show,
I had doubts about singing with vocal belting.
I wanted to sing gentle and warm songs.
Actually, it's impossible to sing high notes with my voice.
When I was asked to perform on this show,
I felt that I would have to challenge again.
Many of you liked my attempt,
so I thank you for that.
In fact, I sang...
for Yoon Seok today.
He likes rock music so much,
but I've only sung slow songs so far.
I wanted to wake him up at least once.
- Right. - That's why I sang...
- She lost because of you. - That's not true.
He said you were like the whole Fin.K.L put together.
- Did you like the comment? - I loved it.
- No, no. - You are 4 of them in 1.
That comment alone is worthwhile.
- You are the ultimate Fin.K.L. - I'll practice harder...
and let my hair grow long.
She broke free from the bias...
that she's stubborn and bossy.
She presented superb performances and showed friendly side of her,
sharing her joy and sorrow with us.
Give Ali a big hand, please.
Go, Ali.
- Thank you. - Thank you, Ali.
(Thank you for your amazing performances.)
(The two-month performance came to an end.)
(She is relieved.)
You paid much attention...
and recognized Popcorn Girl,
which made me become like her.
You've given me a new me.
I don't feel sorry for anything else,
but not being able to see the staff any more makes me sad.
It felt as if I was in a new family, and that made me so happy.
I brought some chocolate. Enjoy.
Gosh, they must be so hungry.
The encounter was too short, but I loved it.
The staff always had...
popcorn in the waiting room.
Today's popcorn tasted the best.
I'm sad that I won't get to eat the popcorn any more.
It was cheese-flavored.
(She always had popcorn in her hand.)
This popcorn is so delicious. Tell me where you got it from.
It does come off.
(She reaches for the mask.)
It's not varnished.
Goodbye.
