The mysterious music show, King of Mask Singer.
Last week,
one man rewrote the history of King of Mask Singer.
He is a man with a soulful voice...
whose performances leave behind lingering emotions.
The 43rd King of Mask Singer, Tin Man with a Burning Heart!
(Shy)
(Welcome, Tin Man.)
We have entered the season of first snow.
We will work hard to fill your heart with renewed determination.
Voices behind the masks!
The mysterious music show, King of Mask Singer.
I am your unbiased show host, Kim Seong Ju.
(Cheon Myeong Hun)
(Yang Han Na, Anchor of SPOTV)
(Binnie of Oh My Girl)
Last week, we welcomed a new King of Mask Singer...
who took the place after Popcorn Girl Takes Your Order.
He has a soulful voice that seeps into the heart.
He is a singing machine who was sent from the above.
Tin Man with a Burning Heart,
please say hello to the viewers from your throne.
(Where is the mouth?)
(King of Mask Singer always has trouble finding the mouth.)
(Flustered)
Whirr, whirr.
- Beep, beep. - He is a robot.
Beep, beep.
Hello, I am Tin Man with a Burning Heart.
It's nice to meet you.
(Hello, I am a weak robot.)
My goodness.
I really can't hear his real voice.
(It's his first time on King of Mask Singer.)
Instead of challenging King of Mask Singer,
you will have to defend your throne from today on.
Can we be excited for your performance today?
(Thinking hard)
Everyone, the weather is...
very, very, very cold, right?
(He is cute.)
I prepared a heartwarming song.
Please look forward to it. Thank you.
(We will look forward to it.)
Please look forward to it.
The mysterious music show, King of Mask Singer...
will begin the competition in earnest.
Let's meet the pair...
who will give the first match of Round One.
(King of Mask Singer)
This is the first match of Round One.
He has a voice that will make even King Sejong proud.
Don't Tell Me What to Do,
Learn Korean!
(Masked singers became programs for MBC's 55th anniversary.)
(Learn Korean has visited King of Mask Singer.)
Shall we learn Korean with songs?
(I am here.)
(How cute!)
(Let's learn Korean together.)
(She grabs the attention of male panelists.)
- She could be a news anchor. - You are right.
Opposing her...
is a woman who won't stop singing until her hair turns white.
Masked Bride Got Married!
(Masked Bride Got Married)
(The bride enters.)
I will make you happy with my song.
(We Got Married)
(Elegant)
(She looks pretty.)
(Congratulations on your wedding.)
- Is she married? - I guess it is "We Got Married".
I guess both of them are news anchors.
(Two masked singers will sing against each other.)
(Their beautiful appearances catch people's eyes.)
(Admiring)
- They are beautiful. - Yes, they are.
(There are two attractive female singers.)
(The panelists can't take their eyes off them.)
(What song are they singing...)
(for the duet performance?)
("Alone" by Sistar)
Is this "Alone"?
("Alone" by Sistar)
(Sexy dance moves are the trademark of the song.)
(What would their performance be like?)
(The sexy dance performance finally begins.)
(Fascinating moves)
(Learn Korean has an unexpectedly clear voice.)
(Masked Bride has a seductive, sexy voice.)
(Learn Korean has a gorgeous nasal voice.)
(Dancing along)
(Masked Bride sounds calm and experienced.)
(Her voice never falters despite the dancing.)
(Their electrifying performances are compelling.)
(It is a feast of irresistible charms.)
(It's like she's walking the runway.)
(Cute and sexy)
(She is so cute.)
(It's Masked Bride's turn.)
(Her charisma dominates the stage.)
(Learn Korean's voice is delicate but firm.)
(Even Masked Bride's breathing sounds attractive.)
(Dancing)
(Learn Korean sounds like as if she's playing hard to get.)
(Masked Bride sings with her unfaltering voice.)
(Masked Bride even tries to rap.)
(She is cool.)
(She shows a powerful performance with her great rap.)
(They showed a fascinating performance singing "Alone".)
(They all send their great cheers to the great performance.)
It was really exciting.
- I like it. - That was very nice.
(The panelists are hypnotized by the song.)
The first match of Round One is over.
Today, the eight masked singers will be wearing masks...
with names of MBC programs...
to celebrate the 55th anniversary of MBC.
We have Learn Korean and Masked Bride here now.
Whose voice did you like better?
I saw Young Seok jumping up out of the chair...
as soon as they started singing.
(Yu Young Seok)
(Excited)
(He was unable to stay still.)
How did you like their performance?
Learn Korean's voice was...
like a good picture that's in focus.
She has a very clear voice.
I mean Masked Bride's voice is...
also like a picture that's in focus.
But her voice sounds more like...
- as if it was airbrushed. - Like a slightly blurred picture.
- I think she is a singer. - Masked Bride is a singer.
She expressed herself with the song...
only up to a certain point.
- It wasn't too much or too little. - Right.
Watching them standing together,
I felt like I was watching two moons on the stage.
- Two moons. - Two moons.
- Because it was so sweet. - I see.
He is a magician of words.
I heard he was sick today.
He is sick.
- He is indeed. - He's just been to the hospital.
- They chose an unusual song. - Right.
- I like that. - It was a bold decision.
I guess Learn Korean has a job...
related to Korean language.
Maybe she is a news anchor.
People would think that way.
But it would be too complacent to think that way.
- It would be too easy. - In fact,
it was easy to see that...
she was an experienced dancer...
with her every move.
I could see that...
because of Masked Bride.
I guess Masked Bride is more satisfied...
with her performance, though.
"I pulled off such a difficult job. I'm proud of myself."
- She feels fulfilled. - Right. She would feel that way.
In 2008, I sang "Lies" by Big Bang...
at an award ceremony.
I remember that.
I was very satisfied with my performance.
It felt so fulfilling.
- You didn't care about others. - Right. I guess...
she got married like 20 years ago.
She got married 20 years ago?
Maybe she's about to celebrate her 20th wedding anniversary.
I have a different opinion to Gu Ra.
- Do you? - Yes.
- I like that. - You will be humiliated.
Gu Ra doesn't know anything about dancing and singing.
I don't.
He just talked about their gestures.
Masked Bride is not inexperienced.
Even raising an arm was made to look different.
Normally, people would just lift it like this,
but this it what she did.
She lifted her arm twisting her wrist.
She even lowered her arm waving it.
- It stood out. - She made waves.
She even cares about the details.
I guess she has a lot of experience on stage...
or she likes to party, I would say.
Meanwhile, Learn Korean...
must be from a newsroom or something similar.
I think she is a news anchor.
Look at her posture. She's standing straight.
And she's wearing a dress that news anchors prefer.
It feels like she wants to deliver...
some news.
I think Masked Bride is single.
She's just wearing the mask to confuse people.
- He thinks she is single. - Right.
They have completely different opinions.
It's been a long time since we talked to him, Gu Ra's strategist.
- Yu Seung Woo is here. - Hello.
How did you like their performance?
I think Masked Bride is...
a big time singer.
- Did you get that already? - Yes.
She has her own style and individuality.
- I see. - And she looks very confident.
It felt like she was saying,
"I'm Sistar here."
(Is Masked Bride rough and tough?)
Opinions are mixed among the panelists.
Learn Korean has...
a voice of a singer.
- I see. - She sounds like that.
I think she is a professional singer.
Meanwhile, Masked Bride has...
a voice with a half open larynx.
- A voice with a half open larynx? - Yes.
She sounds like this.
(Singing "Alone")
It's similar to how Lee Seung Hwan sings his last notes.
(Did you know that?)
Based on that, I guess...
she has trained her voice...
for a very long time.
I'm sure she is a singer, too.
(He thinks both of them are singers.)
Okay.
I think this is...
where we should see their specialties.
- Finally. -Let's start...
with Learn Korean's specialty.
She can show how women act to look cute...
in front of a man they like in different ages.
She says it varies according to their age.
First, she will show how a teenage girl acts to look cute...
in front of a boy she likes. Show us how a teenager acts.
(Hey, Seong Ju.)
(Slapping)
(Seoul Ju, you are a fool.)
This is how a teenage girl would act.
- Why is that a teenage girl? - That looks awkward.
What kind of a teenage girl acts like that?
She imitated the action of a teenage girl.
Now, she will imitate how a girl in her 20s acts...
to a man she likes.
This is how a girl in 20s acts.
Isn't that what a woman in 30s would do?
She approaches slowly without a word.
Oh, gosh. Right.
(Will you join me for a cup of coffee?)
She's being careful.
(She seemed to be leaving.)
Right.
(She makes a cute gesture.)
(I like you.)
(She's cute.)
She's shy.
She will imitate a married woman...
acting cute to her husband or other men.
(Hello, Mr. Kim,)
(will you have a cup of tea with me?)
She imitated a married woman.
- This is it. - She got embarrassed after that.
- Right. - She's embarrassed.
To me, she seems like...
a weather caster.
- A weather caster? - I think so.
A weather caster is required to have high proficiency in Korean.
As Sol Bi said,
- she is a member of a group. - A member of a group?
A freelancer wouldn't show such specialty...
as it would badly affect her career.
She wouldn't have shown it unless she is an employee at a company.
- A group will overlook it. - Of course.
Do you have any other specialty?
She does have a specialty that will give you a crucial hint.
Masked Bride has prepared a dance.
Are you ready? Okay.
(She hands over the mike.)
You treat me as if...
- I'm someone beneath you. - She really does.
She's really mean to Seong Ju.
- What did I do wrong? - Also,
she suddenly cuddled you from behind.
She seems to know how to handle people.
- I almost went on my knees. - I saw that too.
(We are more curious about her identity.)
Music, please.
(Masked Bride imitates Michael Jackson's dance moves.)
Her posture...
is really groovy from the beginning.
- Look at her. - There's something in her vibe.
- Her movement is different. - She's really flexible.
She's really flexible.
It's Michael Jackson's dance.
(Striking a pose)
(Dancing)
She dances to Michael Jackson's song.
(Dancing confidently)
(Gosh)
She has the vibe.
She definitely has the vibe.
(I can do this, too.)
She's showing break dance moves.
(I'm the dancing queen.)
This is amazing.
She's like an octopus.
She won't be able to dance like that unless she's a singer.
(She's so restrained and groovy.)
This is it.
(Go, Masked Bride.)
This is it.
Gosh, I misjudged you.
You deserve this treatment.
I think Masked Bride...
is frustrated that we don't recognize her.
I can't agree more.
"Why don't you recognize me?"
- Sol Bi. - Yes?
You have a point.
I think we know her.
- You are bound to know her. - That's what I thought.
- We know most of the singers. - You are bound to know her.
Judging from her gesture when she laughs,
she must be far older than me.
She laughed at strange points.
Now, I will announce the result of the first match of Round One.
Between the two singers, I'll announce the first winner...
that you have chosen.
(With clear voice and pliant sensitivity,)
(Learn Korean captured the panelists' ears.)
(With her sexy voice and gesture,)
(irresistible Masked Bride enchanted the audience.)
The winner of this match is...
- Who's the winner? - Oh, gosh.
(Who's the winner?)
Who will move on to Round Two?
(The winner is...)
Between Learn Korean and Masked Bride,
who's the winner?
(Masked Bride Got Married won.)
Masked Bride is the winner.
(Masked Bride)
(Let the wedding march play.)
(Masked Bride moves on to Round Two.)
Masked Bride defeated Learn Korean...
with a final score of 60 to 39...
and moved on to Round Two.
Please return to your waiting room quickly.
Please give her a big hand.
Masked Bride will move on to Round Two.
(It feels like I'm on a honeymoon.)
(Gasping)
My waist and feet hurt.
(Anyway, I feel so good.)
(The bouquet is for the second masked singer.)
Nobody guessed her identity until the end.
Who could she be?
You will definitely be surprised.
We will reveal her identity listening to her solo performance.
Please give her a big hand.
(She has a clear voice.)
(Her gestures are very skilled.)
(She seems to work at newsroom or cultural program department.)
(Is she a weather caster?)
(However, her voice was that of a singer.)
("Between Love and Friendship" by Pinocchio)
(We couldn't guess her identity.)
(Learn Korean, who are you?)
(Her ringing voice takes on a deepened atmosphere.)
(She isn't playful any more.)
(She is now a mature lady.)
(I love her voice.)
(With her elegant posture...)
(and bright energy,)
(this charming lady enchanted the panelists.)
(Is she really a news anchor?)
Now, Learn Korean, please take off your mask...
- and reveal your identity. - I'm really curious.
I'm so curious, too.
Who are you?
(Learn Korean, who are you?)
(Screaming)
(This can't be real.)
(Why are they all so surprised?)
- What's happening? - Who is she?
- She must be famous. - Gosh, you surprised me.
She's a famous figure.
What's happening?
She is...
Cao Lu, a member of Fiestar, a five-year old group.
She is Cao Lu.
- She was Cao Lu. - Oh, my gosh.
(That's unbelievable.)
Are you serious?
(Astonished)
- Cao Lu. - I knew it from her pronunciation.
Right, Cao Lu.
(We thought she was either a news anchor or a weather caster.)
(Because of her clear voice,)
(the panelists thought her to be a news anchor.)
(She tricked everyone.)
(Her ever-so-bright energy...)
(makes everyone smile.)
(We never knew she was this elegant.)
(We rediscovered her charming voice today.)
(We love you.)
(Hello)
(Cao Lu has such a sensible voice.)
(She is beautiful.)
I didn't expect this at all.
(This is an unexpected twist.)
- This is a huge twist. - I am so shocked.
We couldn't recognize her because of her attire.
I mean, how could we know?
- It's a huge twist. - It is a twist indeed.
(The shock doesn't go away easily.)
- I couldn't guess at all. - I didn't have a clue.
Now you know who Learn Korean is.
She was Cao Lu, a member of Fiestar.
Please say hello to the viewers.
Hello, I'm Cao Lu, a member of Fiestar. Nice to meet you.
Right.
(She made a debut in 2012 as a member of Fiestar,)
(known for "Vista", "We Don't Stop", "Mirror" and "You're Pitiful".)
(She's cute and sings so well.)
(A charming idol singer from China, Cao Lu)
You have a big face,
and a jutting chin like this.
(She's unpredictable and charming.)
Will you marry me?
(She's a rising star.)
(Cao Lu, a woman of many charms, has come to King of Mask Singer.)
The panelists are in a big shock right now.
You can see how scary biases can be.
You were having difficulties with the Korean pronunciation,
- Yes. - so you practiced very hard.
You're right. I didn't want people to find out who I was,
so I practiced hard.
You don't need to worry about your pronunciation any more.
They said you'd be a news anchor or a weather caster.
That's what they thought.
I recently exchanged...
text messages with her.
I told her that...
she didn't...
sound like a foreigner at all.
Then she told me that she has a Korean language certificate.
Ever since I was here as a panelist,
I wanted to sing on this stage.
- You wanted to sing here. - Yes.
I was only dreaming about it,
then I got a call from the staff one day.
I thought...
the staff members of King of Mask Singer had gone crazy.
You thought they had gone crazy...
because of your pronunciation.
- That's right. - I see.
That's what I thought.
- Then I remembered an old saying. - Which one?
"Never let the fear stop you."
So I hid my fear and did the best I could.
They also say, "Heaven moves"...
("Heaven moves"?)
- I mean, "Sincerity moves heaven." - That's right.
You don't need to say all the proverbs you learned.
I try to use them as much as I can.
That's great.
After a long time of hard work,
she stood on the stage she only dreamed about...
not as an entertainer, but a singer. It was Cao Lu.
Please give her a big round of applause.
Thank you.
(We'll look forward to your great music.)
Go, Cao Lu!
Thank you.
- Great job, Cao Lu. - All right.
(You did great.)
(Cao Lu comes down with a smile on her face.)
Thank you.
They didn't know who I was.
It's a success for me.
After you cast me,
I practiced Korean in every way I can...
with a tutor.
- Try it again. - Re, re.
(She practiced hard to pronounce each word of the lyrics correctly.)
"They don't know who I am. I did it!"
That's what I thought.
No one was biased and my hard work paid off.
I was touched. It feels so great.
This is the result of Round One.
Masked Bride Got Married defeated Cao Lu of Fiestar...
and moved on to Round Two.
The second match of Round One.
Here we go.
Listening to her voice gives you energy.
Weightlifting Fairy Mask Kim.
(Weightlifting Fairy Mask Kim)
(Mask Kim)
(Weightlifting Fairy Mask Kim)
I'll show you great performance today.
Let's go!
(I'm here to become the king.)
(You can do it.)
(They're surprised by her appearance.)
- Gosh. - It's not a real barbell, is it?
I don't think so. It's huge.
Her opponent has...
a sweet voice that comes out of a radio.
Bae Chul Soo's Mask Camp.
(Bae Chul Soo's Mask Camp)
(Bae Chul Soo's Mask Camp begins now.)
This is a special feature of Bae Chul Soo's Music Camp.
I'll do my best to give you a great and beautiful performance.
Thank you.
(Today, I'm the Mask Camp DJ.)
(We'll stay tuned.)
Yes! It's Bae Chul Soo.
(Is it Chul Soo?)
It's a familiar radio show.
Chul Soo isn't like that, right?
(Probably not.)
"This is Bae Chul Soo."
(Wow)
She's so cute.
(They're cute and handsome.)
He's tall, and has a nice build.
I think he's a model or an athlete.
She's short because she's a weightlifter.
Normally, short people can sing high notes well.
(Two masked singers sit on chairs and get ready.)
(The unusual scene makes people curious.)
(A cute weightlifting fairy...)
(and a stylish DJ)
(What kind of a duet song will they sing for us?)
("Said" by Kang San Eh)
Gosh, I love his voice.
(His deep voice brings back old memories.)
(I love it.)
(His voice shows his strong will,)
(but it sounds as warm as being in arms of your father.)
(Gosh. He is good. Who is he?)
(Just like the night that you had a drink...)
(with your father back in hometown,)
(a strong sense of yearning fills up the studio.)
(Just once at least)
(I wish I could)
(Go back)
(That's what he said)
(It's an emotional voice perfect for the day of first snow.)
(His voice sounds familiar.)
He has a charming voice.
(His emotional singing makes everyone feel sentimental.)
(House Band)
(Mask Kim's voice is as clear as a sea breeze.)
(She's a master singer.)
(She's so great.)
(Her voice is powerful yet warm,)
(just like being in the arms of your mother.)
(Her voice sounds stable but dramatic.)
(She's a great singer.)
(It's like listening to your mother's somewhat remorseful voice.)
(She sings delicately as if she's telling a story.)
(She sings about...)
(a mother's eager hopes.)
(She's amazing.)
(She's the best.)
(With voices as warm as parents' affection,)
(they sing about the sense of longing.)
(They make a calm and sorrowful harmony.)
(Their singing melts your frozen heart in winter.)
(It's a stage that makes you reminisce like a briquette fire.)
(Their voices still linger.)
Gosh, it was beautiful.
Their voices sound so familiar.
I think I've heard their voices before.
The second match of Round One is now over.
Please say hello to the viewers.
Mask Kim, please go ahead.
Hello. I am...
Weightlifting Fairy Mask Kim.
- All right. - Hello.
There is a barbell on her mask.
Hello.
I'm the DJ of Bae Chil Soo's Mask Camp,
Bae Chul Soo.
Bae Chul Soo, the DJ of Bae Chil Soo's Mask Camp?
(He's whimsical.)
We gave him a mask that looks like Bae Chul Soo's face.
What did you think, Young Seok?
First of all, Mask Camp has a voice...
that is as strong as a walnut shell,
but when you see inside the shell,
it's very soft like an egg yolk.
His voice felt like that.
You're saying his voice is soft.
In terms of his tone and singing skills, he's just a pro.
(Thankful)
Mask Kim has...
a very smooth voice tone like silk.
- However, she is a rocker actually. - Did you say she is a rocker?
Yes, because...
she didn't use any vibrato while singing.
However, later on at some point,
she sang with vibrato...
which was very short and powerful.
This made me think that she must be...
a well trained rocker who has a very nice vocal tone.
Mask Kim's organs...
that make sounds are...
all wide open.
Even when she was singing a high-pitched tone,
the sound was not weak.
I was so surprised.
As for Mask Camp...
I think the song "Said" was...
chosen by him, right?
Did you choose to sing this song first?
(He hesitates.)
I asked Mask Kim if she's okay.
You got it right.
He asked for it.
His voice tone matches this song perfectly.
Your voice is just amazing.
(Thank you.)
One more thing. A while ago,
I saw how you treated our staff members.
When the staff member brought him a chair,
he casually said thanks to him.
By that, I assume he must be...
an old enough gentleman who can treat staff members in such way.
And that he must have been in this industry for long enough.
I'm sure it's someone widely known behind that mask.
You're saying that he must be very popular.
This was the experts' opinions. What do you think, Gu Ra?
- We can guess him by height. - His height.
Your heights are like do, re and Ra.
- Do, re and Ra. - No, it must be do, re and mi.
- That's nonsense. - Or do, mi and fa.
It's exactly do, re and Ra.
- And his shoes are almost flat. - That's right.
As he has a well-proportioned body,
- he must be a model. - A model?
Yes. I'm sorry to say this,
but in terms of his singing,
it's over.
You mean the match is over and we know who will win?
That's right.
She did exceptionally well.
He has a nice voice,
but you know.
I think he's the one who worked with me once before.
A guy who is very passionate about variety shows.
- It's a model called Joo Woo Jae. - Joo Woo Jae?
(He came to "Radio Star" ambitiously.)
Dok2? What? Scream at the TV
- He has no sense of rhythm. - My son would do better than him.
(An eccentric model, Joo Woo Jae)
- He must be Woo Jae. - That model.
He's very passionate about entertainment shows.
I did a show with him,
and thought he was hilarious.
So I recommended him for a show but it failed and embarrassed me.
He was funny only that day.
(Disappointed)
He showed his all on that day.
I think it's Woo Jae.
I think Mask Camp must be...
- a good drinker. - Why do you think so?
If he sang after a couple of drinks,
he would have been better.
(Drinking soju and tapping on the table...)
(would have completed...)
(this song.)
Do you like drinking, Mask Camp?
I won't lie.
- It's true. - Right.
You would've sung better after a couple of drinks.
I think you named yourself very well as Mask Camp.
I thought you were a singer when I heard your voice first.
You have a wonderful voice.
This occurred to me while listening to your song.
When you go camping,
there are some people...
who like to drink and volunteer to sing...
when no one actually asks for it.
Those people who like the reactions of the audience.
He must think he's a good singer,
and take pride in his singing.
By the looks of his gestures, I think he may be a comedian.
- Or an entertainer. - A comedian or an entertainer.
There's no such comedian like him.
- Is that so? - Yes.
They wrote down their specialties.
One of them was the "TT" dance by Twice.
(A cute "TT" dance by Twice)
Mask Kim will show us the crying dance,
and Mask Camp will show us the bawling dance.
Let's enjoy their "TT" dance.
Music, please.
(She shakes and he hesitates.)
It starts from the right side.
(Mask Kim dances first.)
(Mask Camp joins in a little slow.)
(He dances poorly.)
(Whatever)
(Mask Kim dances cute.)
(She's cute.)
Mask Kim dances well.
What is this guy doing?
(What is this guy doing?)
Mask Camp.
You should be dancing the bawling dance.
(He shows his diamond steps.)
You should dance as if you're crying.
It's the bawling dance.
(He's fully into it.)
They're doing the crying gesture.
(I want to cry.)
(This is their difference.)
(I became "T" myself.)
This is it.
(That's hilarious.)
These were their crying dance.
(She feels embarrassed and he feels proud.)
Earlier when Mask Camp was singing,
I became so emotional.
I was sure he's an actor...
- to have that kind of sensibility. - Then?
- He turned out to be a comedian. - Is he?
(What?)
- He's a comedian. - He danced like a comedian?
There are hardly any guesses.
We'll see one more of his specialties.
He's good at impersonating.
Let us hear Bae Chul Soo's voice.
"Hi, I'm Bae Chul Soo."
"Well..."
"Madonna should be pronounced..."
"as Mudanna."
(Laughing)
This was Bae Chul Soo's voice.
He impersonated him in detail.
This time, he will impersonate Choi Hong Man.
Give it a go.
"Hi, I'm Choi Hong Man."
"Hello."
"I get hurt a lot too when I am hit."
That's it.
(Even the impersonation is weird.)
Some of you are trying to make a guess.
He has more to show, but the staff members won't allow it.
(His specialty ends here to keep his identity from being revealed.)
He showed too much.
I prepared those for a month.
That's it. Stop talking.
- I worked on it so hard. - Okay. Stop there.
It seems like...
he used to be a model,
but now an actor.
Can you give us the initial letters of his name?
- I guess it's G. S. - G. S?
- Do you mean Lee Jong Suk? - Lee Jong Suk?
(A tall actor who used to be a model)
(Is Mask Camp Lee Jong Suk?)
Lee Jong Suk.
Lee Jong Suk?
(Everyone jeers at him.)
It's been a while since we had Myeong Hun here,
but everyone's jeering.
In fact, I think he is Lee Kwang Soo.
(He's also a tall actor who used to be a model.)
(Is Mask Camp Kwang Soo?)

We will reveal his identity...
with a solo performance he prepared. Give him a round of applause.

(Beautiful voice)
(He is definitely a singer to have that voice color.)

(He seems to be a comedian.)

Is it "Forever"?

I think he is a comedian.

(Please take off your mask and reveal your face.)
(No way.)
He is...
(My goodness.)
He is...
(I can't believe my eyes.)
He is...
Who is he? Who is he?
What is going on? Who is he?
- Who is he? - Why is everyone so surprised?
What is going on?
He is...
the master of sitcoms...
and an actor who debuted 21 years ago, Choi Min Yong.
(Is that Choi Min Yong of "Unstoppable High Kick"?)
(He has real talent.)
It has been a while since I saw him.
This is incredible.
I recognize the voice now.
(It's been 10 years since his last appearance.)
I didn't know he was so tall.
He is tall.
- This is incredible. - My goodness.
He is Choi Min Yong.
(They cannot believe their eyes.)
(My goodness.)
(He hasn't changed at all.)
(He has impressive singing skills.)
(Everyone is still excited.)
(This is incredible.)
(Everyone has wondered how he was doing.)
(They are glad to see him again.)
(His heartfelt performance of "Forever" contained 10 years.)
I hadn't even imagined it.
This is incredible.
I had no idea.
This is like a special with the greatest twists.
- It's impossible to guess. - Seriously.
How did they recruit him?
Please say hello.
(Mask Camp is an actor, Choi Min Yong)
Please say hello to the viewers.
In a segment of "Section TV" that aired a few years ago,
I was top two on the rankings of forgotten celebrities.
Forgotten celebrities!
- I am the icon of comeback, - The icon of comeback.
- Choi Min Yong. - It's Choi Min Yong.
(He debuted in 1996 through "Adults Don't Know".)
(He rose to stardom as a teenage celebrity.)
(He appeared in "Rustic Period", "Discovery of Love" and more.)
(He had a wide spectrum of roles.)
(In "Nonstop 3", he played a stingy college student.)
(In "Unstoppable High Kick", he played a mean character.)
(He led the golden age of sitcoms.)
(The uptight actor, Choi Min Yong)
It has been 10 years since we saw you on TV.
Upon learning about your visit,
I asked, "What has he been doing all these years?"
The staff told me to ask you directly.
How have you been?
I didn't know 10 years have passed.
To be honest, I thought hard...
about how to answer that question.
It is impossible to share everything...
- in a short amount of time. - Right. It has been 10 years.
I was inconsiderate.
There is one thing I can tell you.
My mother said to me one day,
"Ever since you became an actor,"
"you have tried too many different things."
She said that.
I experienced different things...
in the years I have been away.
I see. I would like to know why you chose to have...
your comeback performance on King of Mask Singer.
When I first got the offer,
I refused and said,
"I am not talented enough to perform before the audience."
Then the person who made the offer...
- fed me false information. - What do you mean?
He said that King of Mask Singer...
records a guide version and plays it during the performance.
- My goodness. - That's why...
I met the producer.
He told me that they don't do that.
You heard that information from someone else, right?
A meeting with the production team was like an interrogation.
Security is a key on this program.
I didn't think it was necessary.
We had to take extra measures since it's you.
Since I made a promise to perform on the show,
I practiced very hard.
Did you practice hard?
(Choi Min Yong wanted to show his cheerful side on the show.)
It has been a while since I saw you.
I missed you very much.
I missed hearing your voice.
That's right. At the height of your popularity,
you put a sudden stop to all of your works...
and disappeared from the screen.
There are many people who want to know why you did that.
I was...
lacking in many ways.
I wished to become better...
as an actor...
and as a person.
(Standing on the stage after many years makes him tear up.)
I wanted to...
come back after I readied myself,
but time passed so quickly.
He initially left to ready himself...
as a better actor.
A decade is not a short time. Even after all these years,
people remember me...
and await for my return.
I feel very bad.
(I feel very bad.)
I lack the talent,
but I came here to say hello to them.
I see.
There were many fans who loved Choi Min Yong.
Even though he feels that his singing skills are lacking,
he practiced hard...
and gave us a nice performance.
Hyun Chul, you remember him well, right?
Of course I do.
- It is impossible to forget him. - Right.
I am very happy to see him again.
Have you always been so tall?
Your waist is on the same level as Seong Ju's solar plexus.
Is his waist on the same level as my solar plexus?
- Yes. - Don't be ridiculous.
His waist is on the same level as Seong Ju's solar plexus.
I didn't know he was so tall.
I didn't know he was this tall.
It's great to see you again.
I hope we can see you more often from now on.
It's been almost 10 years.
It's great to see him again,
and he still looks so friendly.
Seeing him makes me think a 10-year hiatus could mean nothing.
Watching him enjoy his performance on the stage,
we were very glad. I believe he felt the same way.
I hope to see him enjoy his performance...
on stage more often.
(Thank you.)
I believe you've made one step forward...
through King of Mask Singer.
Can we expect to see you on screen working as an actor?
What do you think?
If given the chance, I'll do my best...
(If given the chance, I'll do my best.)
once again.
(It's great to see him again after 10 years.)
Good luck.
Thank you.
(We look forward to your future endeavors.)
(There is a wild burst of applause even behind the stage.)
Many people welcomed me with hearty cheers.
I couldn't be happier.
He is Choi Min Yong.
(Thank you very much for welcoming me with open hearts and minds.)
It's nice to meet you.
(He shows his specialty.)
Bae Chul Soo's Mask Camp.
I'm Choi Min Yong for Bae Chul Soo.
Thank you.
Weightlifting Fairy Mask Kim beat Choi Min Yong...
and moved on to Round Two.

Please join the survey.
They are having a duet match in Round One.
Let's begin the third match now.
(The third match of Round One)
The third match of Round One.
A cutting remark.
His voice sharply hits the mark.
Mask Magazine 2580.
(Mask Magazine 2580)
(Like "2580" that views the world with sharp and warm eyes)
I will show you a great emotional performance.
(Whose mind should I investigate?)
(Please come and investigate our minds.)
Look at that.
(He is very tall.) subtitles ripped and synced by riri13
Wow, he is very tall.
His opponent is...
a filial daughter-in-law.
Father, Let Me Be the King.
(Father, Let Me Be the King)
(The four independent siblings have returned.)
(Father, I'll Take Care of You)
Father, I will be the King of Mask Singer for you.
(I will sing for my family.)
(Good luck!)
She looks very confident.
She will be the King of Mask Singer.
She looks charismatic.
(She seems extraordinary.)
(Mask Magazine 2580 and Father, Let Me Be the King)
(They have unique figures.)
(The two masked singers have their own styles.)
(Which song will they sing together?)
("Youth" by Sanullim)
(His pure voice is flawless.)
(Watching in awe)
(He plays with the rhythm of the song...)
(which softly resonates in our ears.)
(Her husky voice is as hazy as a thick fog.)
(Her voice is very husky.)
(She fills up the song only with her breathing.)
(Her singing skills come from experiences and maturity.)
(I love her voice.)
(Their perfect harmony fills the stage.)
(I love it.)
(It is a perfect harmony of a sweet voice and a husky voice.)
(The audience cheer loudly.)
(They are the best.)
(I'm doomed. They are the masters.)
(With his clear voice and a stable sense of rhythm,)
(Mask Magazine leads the song.)
(I wonder who he is.)
(I love this song.)
(The song paints itself with colors.)
(Excited)
(His voice is as delicate as silk thread.)
(With her warm and soft voice,)
(Be the King embraces the stage.)
(Fascinated)
(They look so relaxed to the end.)
(It was a plaintive and beautiful song, "Youth" by two masters.)
(Bravo!)
I love it.
(This is a work of art.)
I love it so much.
(They give a standing ovation.)
It was deep and insightful.
It was not just the third chord.
I want to hear it again.
Their voices are beautiful.
Who is tall like him?
The third match of Round One is over.
I saw Young Seok shuffling around in his chair.
I guess you liked their performance very much. How did you like it?
I realized something while watching them.
While singers who are not masters tend to be turbulent,
the true masters know how to show...
their potential without budging an inch.
Are you saying the others weren't good enough?
(I didn't mean that.)
And these are the masters.
Are you saying that?
That's not exactly what I'm saying.
I mean they didn't try to show off anything.
I was impressed by Mask Magazine.
His voice is not just clear.
It feels like as if his voice was refined to remove impurities...
to pick out only the good ones.
It's like purified water.
- That's right. - I see.
(The second Mask Magazine started singing,)
(everyone was shocked at his clear voice.)
(It's like the quintessence of emotions.)
(His voice cleanses people's minds.)
He has a healthy voice like mineral-rich water.
Meanwhile, Be the King has...
a deep and warm voice.
It felt like I was wearing fur around my ears.
(As soon as Be the King started singing)
I told you. She's the master of singing.
(Surprised)
(Her voice is deep, rich, and even soft.)
(It's so warm.)
The match will be decided on minor factors...
which are hard to find out.
It must have been hard for everyone including me to vote.
Are you saying both of them are professional singers?
Of course. They are singers.
- They are singers. - Right.
- I'm 100 percent sure. - You are sure about that.
Jang Hyuk, you seem to be very surprised.
I hope to see more of this kind of performance.
It gave the audience composure,
space and depth to enjoy the song.
I was so happy.
Mask Magazine...
seemed to restrain himself.
He effortlessly reserved some space.
Someday, it will pass, too
He sang simply without dragging for a long time,
and it showed his sensibility.
He may have sensitive soul inside that well-maintained body.
As a conclusion, I think...
- that he may be an idol singer. - An idol singer.
- As for Be the King, - Be the King.
her voice sounds like a person...
who has gone through...
so many ordeals in life.
When Hyun Chul and I discussed,
- he even mentioned Han Young Ae. - Han Young Ae?
(Han Young Ae is a legendary singer of 40 years of career.)
(She's marked by her husky voice and bluesy singing style.)
(When she began to sing,)
(everyone thought she was Han Young Ae.)
(Are you serious?)
(Her husky voice is hard to miss.)
(You've come at last.)
I thought she must be...
Han Young Ae.
The name of her mask is...
"Father, Let Me Be the King." We think "father" here...
would be over 100 years old.
(Her father would be over 100 years old.)
- That makes sense. - He lived for a long time.
She didn't even flinch while we were discussing.
I thought she was a ghost.
(She doesn't react at all.)
Did I misinterpret her shiver?
She seems to tremble a bit.
I think a singer with that much of charisma and aura...
- may be Young Ae or Lee Mi Sook. - Lee Mi Sook.
I reckon so.
Tony, you were taking a note very intently.
I was, but other panelists have already said what I wanted to say.
You all agreed on the same opinion.
Didn't you take a note of what we've said?
How can we all think the same?
In fact, as for Be the King,
from the moment she walked into the stage,
she already had the aura of the king.
Let Me Be the King.
(She had a distinctive aura from the beginning.)
That's why I thought she may be...
- Patti Kim at first. - Patti Kim?
(Patti Kim is the living legend of Korean pop music.)
- Patti Kim. - She's that impressive.
- I wish she could come. - She was that charismatic.
- As for Mask Magazine, - Mask Magazine.
when I heard his voice, I thought he might be Jo Kwon.
- Jo Kwon. - Yes.
He has a clear voice.
(Jo Kwon the ballad singer has a beautiful voice.)
- Jo Kwon. - Yes. He has a clear voice.
Speaking of Jo Kwon,
a singer of that height may be about 185cm tall.
That's why I thought of Lim Seul Ong.
(He is as tall as 186cm.)
(He is a wanted singer for a duet with his beautiful voice.)
He has such a beautiful voice. He can be Lim Seul Ong.
I don't think his voice was that beautiful.
His voice sounds similar to him.
- He must have exercised. - You think he's Lim Seul Ong.
I don't agree.
I think...
that he performed on an audition show.
What made you think so?
(You are stammering. She has got it right.)
Is his voice suitable for audition shows?
He seems like Roh Ji Hoon from "The Great Birth".
- Roh Ji Hoon. - Yes.
(Roh Ji Hoon is a singer of eight years of singing career.)
(He is 186cm tall and has a tender voice.)
- I think he's Roh Ji Hoon. - Right.
- Roh Ji Hoon. - I'll take that card.
- Do you give up on Seul Ong? - I accept that card.
I'll give up on Seul Ong and agree on her opinion.
- We're on the same boat. - We are.
Okay, then. Now...
Wait, she remains motionless.
- Right, she does. - Be the King.
That isn't an easy thing to do.
- Maybe there is a button. - That's a hard thing to do.
- It's not that. - You are allowed to move a bit.
- She may feel awkward on stage. - Why is she like that?
She is still getting used to the stage.
- Even so, isn't that too much? - She's amazing in that sense.
You may make yourself comfortable.
(Who is she?)
Now, you will see Mask Magazine's specialty.
He prepared a dance...
called Wavy Dance.
Mask Magazine will show his dance.
Music, please.
It's a song by Rain.
(He dances attractively.)
Look at his passion.
(His dance is so sweet like honey.)
That's excellent.
(Female panelists fall for him.)
Oh, gosh.
He approaches Be the King.
(Will he try to attract Be the King?)
Oh, gosh.
(His waves get bigger.)
Like a wave.
(I'm sorry.)
Like a tide. Be the King seems flustered.
- Let's stop here. - So she can move.
You must be flustered. He's an ordinary young fellow.
She seems very shocked.
Let me announce the result of...
third match...
of Round One.
The result is neck-and-neck.
- It must have been hard... - Oh, gosh.
- for you to make the choice. - Are you serious?
- Of course, it's a close match. - I knew it.
Who will be the winner of this match?
I'll now reveal the result now.
(The result is revealed now.)
(There's sadness in his clear, beautiful voice.)
(He sings with a restrained and simple singing style.)
(Mask Magazine is a vocalist with sensibility.)
(Her warm voice embraces us.)
(Her experienced voice has a deep resonance.)
(Be the King's mature voice sings what life is like.)
Between the two singers,
the winner who will move on...
to Round Two...
is...
Who will be the winner?
(The winner is...)
(It was a match between two calm yet powerful singers.)
(Who is the winner...)
(that we can meet next week?)
Show us the result.
(King of Mask Singer)
The winner is...
Mask Magazine.
(Mask Magazine moves on to Round Two.)
(See you next week.)
(Sadness and happiness are all here.)
Mask Magazine 2580...
will move on to Round Two.
The final score was 58 to 41.
- Oh, my gosh. - I pressed number two.
I pressed number two, too.
The margin was 15 votes.
Well done. Now, move to the waiting room quickly.
Please give him a round of applause.
(The shocking identity of Be the King will be revealed soon.)
(He's still amazed.)
(I feel so good.)
I'll come back with a better solo performance.
Thank you. See you later.
You said that her voice is deep,
and that she must be a legendary singer.
We can't but feel sorry...
about not seeing her in Round Two.
Father, Let Me Be the King.
We will reveal her identity...
with a solo performance she prepared for Round Two.
(Her identity is revealed now.)
(Coming in,)
(she already had the aura of the king.)
(She must have gone through so much in her life.)
(Is she older than Young Seok?)
(Is she either Han Young Ae or Lee Mi Sook?)
(Or is she Patti Kim the legendary diva?)
("Seoul Tango" by Bang Shil Lee)
I told you.
("Seoul Tango" by Bang Shil Lee)
(Her choice of song agrees with the guess that she's an old singer.)
(Cue)
(The deep baritone reveals ample experience.)
The voice sounds familiar.
It's such a famous voice.
(We know the voice.)
(I know the voice.)
(But her identity is a mystery.)
(I have no idea.)
(Her stage manner and cheerful rhythm...)
(make us forget about guessing and enjoy the performance.)
I love it.
Can she be Park Hae Mi?
(Who is this mysterious singer?)
Now.
Be the King, please take off your mask...
and reveal your identity.
(Oh gosh.)
(Wow)
She is...
(The audience cheers loudly.)
- Why? - Who is she?
She is...
Shin Bong Sun, a comedienne of 12 years of career.
(Well...)
(Did you say Bong Sun?)
(Was she Bong Sun...)
(and not an experienced diva?)
(It's a shocking twist.)
(What is Bong Sun doing there?)
I can't believe this.
(He screams in shock.)
(They cry out feeling frustrated.)
(They're all in panic.)
(It's a big surprise.)
She is Comedienne Shin Bong Sun.
(No one imagined that it was her.)
(Screaming)
(Laughing)
(She has a voice of a woman who has been through so much.)
(I thought she was Han Young Ae.)
(She sounded like a legendary singer.)
(It was Bong Sun under the mask.)
(I realized master singers can show their true ability without moving.)
(I think she is a charismatic and alluring woman.)
(All the efforts to guess her identity were meaningless.)
(Gosh)
(Her acting that tricked everyone deserves an Academy Award.)
This is so irritating.
(The audience is excited as if they're at Lee Mi Ja's dinner show.)
(It's unbelievable.)
(She shows off her talents and cheerful energy...)
(not as a panelist, but as a masked singer today.)
(It was an unforgettably shocking stage.)
(They're full of excitement.)
(They're still in shock.)
- Didn't you praise her singing? - I don't remember.
I was lying.
I hate Seong Ju even more. I hate him more.
It was so hard. I can't do this.
- We succeeded. - We succeeded.
They were completely fooled. They thought you were Patti Kim.
- Han Young Ae, too. - That's right.
- We did it! - We did it!
Be the King was Shin Bong Sun.
Hello. I'm Comedienne Shin Bong Sun.
It's good to see you.
(You were great.)
All right.
Bong Sun has been a panelist here for over a year now,
but she wasn't here for the last week's shooting.
She said she had other schedule, but she didn't come today either.
So I asked the scriptwriter...
what happened to Bong Sun.
She said Bong Sun has been replaced.
- Replaced? - I was worried.
I hoped she would come because...
she plays an important role here.
Gu Ra was really worried.
He said, "Things would be much better with Bong Sun."
I see.
(You had me worried.)
But it's upsetting that he really believed I was replaced.
That's true.
- It's upsetting. - I understand.
- Look. I can't work with her now. - Why not?
She deceived all of us.
- I can't work with her. - Gosh.
I didn't realize this before,
but Gu Ra is a fool.
I know.
He's an inconsistent guesser.
- He's... - He voted for you.
- Gu Ra voted for you. - Gosh. Thank you.
I want to cut my own finger.
I'm not going to mention all their names,
- but many people voted for you. - Thank you.
Yes. If they had known that it was you,
they wouldn't have wanted you to sing "Youth".
They must've thought that I'd sing in a funny way.
That's right. I think people with many biases on you...
were the most surprised.
Some people say that Bong Sun sometimes...
exaggerates things too much.
Bong Sun knows that,
but she still doesn't spare herself...
- to cheer up the singers. - That's right.
I would like everyone to know that.
Bong Sun is a true professional.
All right.
That's right. She only had been a good panelist so far,
but today, she was not a comedienne but a masked singer.
She gave a very sincere and shocking performance.
It was Shin Bong Sun, our beloved friend.
(It was a great and surprising stage that broke all the biases.)
(You did great.)
(You're really pretty.)
It's so funny.
This is really funny.
I thought they would even recognize my breathing.
My mom came to Seoul and stayed here for a few days.
But I kept going out at night,
and came back after three hours.
She thought I had a boyfriend.
She asked me whom I went out to see,
and said, "You should get married."
Now I should tell her. It's not what you think, Mom.
I don't have a boyfriend yet.
(Embarrassed)
I was here as a masked singer today,
but I'll be back as a panelist again.
Let's see who else will surprise you.
Mask Magazine 2580 defeated Shin Bong Sun...
and moved on to Round Two.
The last match of Round One.
He's a new strong competitor who will shake things up.
Let's Meet after Becoming the King,
Masked Star.
(Let's Meet after Becoming the King, Masked Star)
- Let's meet next week. - Let's meet next week.
Come on, the King of Mask Singer.
(He's charming.)
His nickname also says he'll become the king.
I should correctly guess who he is.
Let's meet his opponent.
Everything about him becomes a hot issue.
This is how you should style your mask.
Infinite Fashion King Challenge.
(Infinite Fashion King Challenge)
(Let's keep challenging for the throne.)
Infinite Fashion King Challenge!
(They can't wait to see his stage.)
He's almost dancing.
They used "Infinite Challenge" and "Radio Star" for their nicknames.
(It's a match between two shows.)
I think their stage will be great.
(They seem to be great singers.)
What? What is he doing?
That was uncalled-for.
He looks awkward.
I don't think he'd be so great.
Maybe he wants to be on "Infinite Challenge".
Is he dressed as a rock musician?
I think Masked Star will be great.
(Calm and chic Masked Singer...)
(and cheerful Infinite Fashion King)
(What kind of harmony would they make?)
("You Give Love a Bad Name" by Bon Jovi)
- Gosh. - What song is this?
("You Give Love a Bad Name" by Bon Jovi)
- What is it? - Gosh, it sounds so powerful.
What?
What is this?
(The last duet song will be hot rock music.)
(It's a legendary song of Bon Jovi.)
(Let's go!)
(He has a surprising...)
(husky voice.)
(It's not just him.)
(Masked Star is not only chic,)
(but he also has a sexy voice.)
(Gosh)
(You can't escape.)
(There is only this song that will capture your heart.)
(Two real men sing about...)
(the passionate love.)
(They're so cool.)
(The chic and cheerful men...)
(release their rock spirit.)
(Masked Star's sexy voice catches your ears.)
(You can feel his charisma from each note he sings.)
(This love is a one way street.)
(You have to win it.)
(Come to me.)
(You made me fall in love with you.)
(His voice is husky but soft.)
(The wildness in Masked Star's voice grows stronger.)
(They burn this day with their rock spirit.)
(House Band)
(Masked Star is an homme fatale who is tough but romantic.)
(Infinite Fashion King easily overpowers the audience.)
(My love is burning for you.)
(Even you can't stop it.)
(These two charming men...)
(explode their intense love.)
(It's electrifying.)
(The audience is excited, electrified, and thrilled.)
(It was a powerful stage that burned everything.)
(They're such good singers.)
(They're excited.)
(Long live the rockers.)
They're having fun until the end.
(Unlike how they seemed in the beginning...)
They're really good at singing.
- They're really good. - Isn't this the second pop song?
- How many were there? - It was sung by a foreigner.
Aren't they foreigners?
Again?
Which one is the foreigner?
This was the last stage of duet song match in Round One.
Please say hello to the viewers.
Let's Meet after Becoming the King.
I'm Masked Star.
You perfectly look like a rocker.
He seems like an idol star.
He talks like a girl.
(It's Infinite Fashion King's turn.)
Hi, everyone.
It's Infinite Fashion King...
Challenge.
He's the foreigner.
You dressed up like an old lady...
who has been making kimchi.
It was a very competitive match.
Hyun Chul, what do you think?
A little while ago, Young Seok said,
"Master singers can show their true ability without moving."
It's totally wrong.
I admit that I was wrong.
Until today,
I still remember Miljenko's "Creep".
(It was the first pop song sung, and he was the first foreigner.)
(He gave us a series of surprises.)
I think...
one of them might be a foreigner.
- Like before. - But...
Their English pronunciation wasn't that good.
Not very good.
They might be from somewhere else other than America.
They could be Japanese or Chinese.
Oh, you're right.
They could be from anywhere.
He didn't complain about his fashion.
He might be the foreigner.
He chose to wear this outfit.
- You didn't complain, right? - He's a foreigner for sure.
- Yes or no? - Well...
I have no complaints.
(He's fluent in Korean.)
He doesn't have any complaints.
(Is he a Korean?)
When Masked Singer introduced himself,
he talked like a girl. He didn't sound like a rock musician.
But that's what most rock musicians are normally like.
Is that so? Their personality is different from singing.
Yes. When there's a strong beat,
he burns like a rocker.
He is a textbook example of a rocker.
When Infinite Fashion King sang high notes,
the sound didn't come from his throat.
He knows how to use his head to make the sound.
(He shouts through his head.)
Normally, laymen have monotone,
but professionals can sing in more than one sound.
Yim Jae Beum makes 2 to 3 sounds with his voice.
Infinite Fashion King is as skilled as him.
By the way,
why can't you stay still?
(He feels annoyed.)
He's emotionally...
unstable.
I see now.
It's a very simple strategy. I see it now.
Bong Sun, who is usually active stayed very calm on the stage,
and this guy, who should stay calm,
is intentionally shaking hard...
like a crazy man.
- Someone ordered him to do it? - That's right.
- In order to deceive us? - He's doing it on purpose.
What's your opinion, Jang Hyuk?
The first line is "Shot through the heart".
It felt like as if I was shot through my heart...
by them.
(They were powerful from the beginning.)
When Masked Star...
grabbed a microphone stand,
he did it so gently as if he missed it.
He grabbed it as if it's his loved one.
I think he was a rocker once,
who hadn't been on the stage for a while.
I think Infinite Fashion King...
is hiding many things.
I think this stage was just a warming-up for him.
He's like a super car...
about to drive fast.
He's that powerful.
However, he's pretending...
as if he is just a small car just for now.
I'll let you hear their real voices.
Infinite Fashion King is good at making husky voices.
He'll impersonate the tough guy, Choi Min Soo first.
(Everyone has tried impersonating his voice.)
Let's do it.
Gu Ra.
(Gu Ra.)
I thought you were my little brother.
(Laughing)
- Gu Ra. - Stop there.
It's not an impersonation. It's just his voice.
What is this?
This time, he will impersonate Jun In Kwon's voice.
Let's go.
(Until the morning comes)
(He's making a husky voice from deep inside.)
This was it.
You're doing a good job.
Now, let us hear...
Masked Star impersonating...
Kim Yeon Woo's voice.
(He controls his voice freely.)
(It's a talented singer, Kim Yeon Woo.)
(It will be hard to imitate his voice.)
Let's start.
- Mask gum is the best - Stop there.
- It did sound similar. - It was similar.
Right.
This time, he will imitate Jang Hyuk's voice.
Mine?
(It must be hard.)
(Did you forget?)
(We used to love this mask gum)
This was it.
(It's pretty similar.)
Lastly, it's Kim Jong Seo.
(If that's a gum)
(It sounds almost like him.)
(It must be a mask gum)
This was it.
I was so nervous.
I think Masked Star is an idol star.
- An idol star? - Yes.
It seems like an idol star who loves rock.
There are many groups that have many members.
Like Seventeen or...
(There are 13 boys in Seventeen.)
UP10TION.
(There are 10 boys in UP10TION.)
He might be the talented one among those members.
Then, let's hear Masked Star...
beat-boxing.
Let's go.
(Beatboxing)
(He's good.)
(Every idol singer can do this.)
I heard King of Mask Singer is very entertaining.
It's not enough.
He has more to show.
There comes out a grandfather.
What's wrong with those people who are not watching it?
(She's amazed.)
Grandfather.
It's because Gu Ra didn't find out who we are.
Is it that hard, Gu Ra?
Start the beat-boxing again.
(Stop nagging and start beat-boxing again.)
(He's out of his breath.)
Grandfather.
Please watch King of Mask Singer...
and vote on me.
This was it.
(He's great.)
- Is he an idol singer or not? - He definitely is.
I think he's one of the Seventeen members.
It's first time for me to hear...
someone making beat-box sound only by his breath.
He must have an outstanding musicality.
Infinite Fashion King wrote that...
he's talented in reckless dancing.
Music, please.
(I'll show you my style.)
(It's G-Dragon versus an old man.)
(Tottering)
He's a dancing king.
He jumps a lot.
(He pokes here and there with his fingers.)
(He rules the stage with his arms.)
You look great in that outfit.
(I'm so embarrassed, Mom.)
This is it.
(He's the reckless dancing king for sure.)
He's so reckless.
It was the Reckless Dance.
Now, I will announce the result of the match.
I'll now reveal the winner...
of this duet song match.
(The result will be revealed now.)
(His voice is gentle yet tough...)
(and sexy at the same time.)
(Masked Star with irresistible charms.)
(His voice is husky but soft.)
(Burning soul like that of a beast)
(Infinite Fashion King with charisma)
(A harmony created by chic and cheerful men.)
(Who is the winner of this tense competition?)
Between Masked Star and Infinite Fashion King,
who is the winner that will move on to Round Two?
The winner is...
- The winner is... - The winner is...
Who's going to be the winner?
(They pray deep in their hearts.)
Who will move on to Round Two?
The winner is...
Who will get to move on to Round Two?
Both Masked Star and Infinite Fashion King...
gave an impressive rock performance.
Who will be the winner?
Infinite Fashion King won.
(Infinite Fashion King)
(That's great.)
(While they are sad, they accept the result.)
Let's go to Final Round!
(One by one, they fall for his charms.)
Infinite Fashion King...
(I will thank everyone. Don't stop me.)
beat Masked Star...
with a final score of 64 to 35.
With a final score of 64 to 35,
Infinite Fashion King became the winner.
Please go back to your waiting room...
and prepare for the next round. Please give him a big hand.
(We look forward to the next round.)
(My goodness.)
Infinite Fashion King will survive until the last round.
"Infinite Challenge"!
We will reveal his identity...
with a solo performance...
prepared for Round Two. Please give him a big hand.
(He possesses incredible talent.)
(He is a textbook example of a rocker.)
(He showed amazing voice impressions.)
(He collaborated with a grandpa.)
(He showed the new world of beat-boxing.)
(Is he a member of Seventeen or Up10TION?)
(Is he a singer who missed the stage?)
("After This Night" by Yim Jae Beum)
- What is this song? - Is it "After This Night"?
("After This Night" by Yim Jae Beum)
(While Yim Jae Beum has an intense and sweet voice,)
(he has a romantic and husky voice that echoes softly.)
(His stylish and mysterious voice captivates women's hearts.)
(His voice creates ripples of emotions in the heart...)
(with rough and delicate soul.)
(Who possesses this voice?)
Now, Masked Star, please take off your mask...
- and reveal your face. - Where is he going?
- Where is he going? - Stand in the middle.
Please take off your mask and reveal your face.
Please take off your mask.
(He is cute. Who could he be?)
He is...
- Hurry up. - I can't wait to find out.
(Everyone wants to see his face.)
(Who could he be?)
Masked Star, please take off your mask...
and reveal your face.
He is...
a genius musician who debuted 18 years ago...
with an album, "I Am Eighteen", Kim Sa Rang.
(It's Kim Sa Rang.)
(Their jaws drop.)
It's Kim Sa Rang.
(It's Kim Sa Rang of "I Am Eighteen".)
My goodness.
("I am eighteen" was a catchphrase of a hit commercial in 1999.)
(Kim Sa Rang is the producer of the album with the same title.)
(He acquired hardcore fans...)
(with his unique songs.)
(He proved his natural musical talent.)
(He plays drums, bass, and guitar.)
(He is the front runner of a one-man band.)
(He has continued to work away from TV.)
(He is a talented singer-songwriter.)
(The genius musician, Kim Sa Rang)
(Hello, I am a singer, Kim Sa Rang.)
(His voice is still melodious after all these years.)
(He quenches his thirst for performing on the stage.)
(His charming voice is infused with heavy breaths.)
(To a young voice of an 18-year-old boy,)
(maturity and experiences have been added.)
(We want to hear his voice all night long.)
(Kim Sa Rang sang "After This Night" with his sentimental voice)
(He is cool.)
(Bravo)
Good job!
(We want to hear your voice more often.)
Please say hello to the viewers.
It has been a while since I said my greetings on TV.
I am Kim Sa Rang.
(I am Kim Sa Rang.)
I am sure many people remember it.
In 1999, there was a commercial that went, "I am eighteen."
It was a commercial for a telecommunications company.
- You voiced the commercial. - Yes.
Would you let us hear "I am eighteen" again?
(Would you let us hear "I am eighteen" again?)
It has been a while.
I am eighteen.
It's 018. That's how it went.
How old were you at the time?
I was 20 years old.
- You said you were 18 years old. - That's right.
- It's the international age. - Then you were 18 years old.
The catchphrase of a commercial and his ingenious music...
made Kim Sa Rang receive a lot of love.
You upheld an air of mysticism and didn't show yourself much on TV.
I didn't do it to uphold an air of mysticism.
I felt that...
my talent had been overestimated.
I lost confidence.
I holed up in my house.
You felt pressured by the attention.
It must have been a while since you heard Sa Rang's voice.
Hyun Chul, do you remember him?
Of course I remember him.
He was an amazing musician.
He already arranged songs, composed,
wrote lyrics, sang, and produced the album...
- at the age of 18. - People called him a genius.
It seems like he didn't want to show his talent.
I don't like showing it either.
I see what you are trying to say.
(That's what a genius does.)
It's nice to see you again.
Your face hasn't changed at all.
- 18 years have passed. - That's right.
You wouldn't say that if you see me up close.
(You wouldn't say that if you see me up close.)
How do you want to approach the viewers from now on?
I am curious about your answer.
I haven't released a lot of albums.
I feel bad for my fans.
Although I am lacking, I gathered my courage to visit the show...
so that my face will become known...
and my fans will be proud of me.
I want them to know that I am still here.
I visited the show...
so that my fans know how I feel.
He is a singer we have missed. Today, he put down the title...
of a genius musician.
Kim Sa Rang showed the talent of a vocalist...
with 18 years of experience without holding back.
- Please give him a big hand. - Thank you.
(Please let us hear more of your amazing songs.)
From now on,
I will release albums more quickly.
I will appear on TV more often.
I hope my fans and I will have...
more reasons to smile in the future.
I will stay healthy...
and give more concerts.
I will do my best to stay relevant for many years to come.
Thank you.
(Coming soon, "Real Men 2")
