The mysterious music show, King of Mask Singer.
Last week...
With his flawless clear voice...
and sensitive delicate emotions,
the immortal vocalist made his second straight victory.
He is the 43rd and 44th King of Mask Singer,
Tin Man with a Burning Heart.
(It's nice to see you again.)
(Kang Ta)
(Tzuyu of Twice)
(Na Yeon of Twice)
The mysterious music show, King of Mask Singer.
I am your unbiased show host, Kim Seong Ju. It's nice to meet you.
Tin Man with a Burning Heart is...
seeking his third consecutive victory.
There is no limit to excellence.
He melts people's frozen hearts with his voice.
People are lavishly praising him for his performance.
Please say hello to our viewers.
(Buffering)
Hello.
I'm Tin Man with a Burning Heart.
(He acts cute.)
Okay.
He's cute.
People say that...
being the King of Mask Singer is like being on a diet.
The previous Kings of Mask Singer experienced weight loss...
because they were under a lot of pressure.
But unfortunately,
Tin Man has apparently...
failed to lose weight.
Is it hard for you to lose weight?
I guess you're not under a lot of pressure.
You don't know how I feel
You are so mean
(Giggling)
Just like TT
(Shaking)
(He's cute.)
In order to give you guys a better performance,
I've been eating healthy meals...
including meals that are high in protein.
I see.
Maybe that's why I'm not losing weight.
Did you gain weight?
Just a little bit.
Okay.
You won't lose weight, I guess.
Could you tell us how you feel today?
I prepared a romantic song for today.
I hope you will enjoy it and hope it will soothe your hearts.
I will try my best.
He prepared a romantic song for today. That's nice.
The mysterious music show, King of Mask Singer.
Let's get the matches started then.
Will Tin Man with a Burning Heart hit a three-game winning streak?
Let's begin the first match of Round One...
for the 45th King of Mask Singer.
(The first match of Round One is about to begin.)
(King of Mask Singer)
The first match of Round One.
His sweet proposal will even melt the heart of Ice Princess.
Snow Ball Is Made of the First Snow.
(He's ready to spray some snow.)
(On his way to work,)
(he sprayed snow around him.)
You seem to like snow.
Yes, winter is my favorite season.
(By enjoying the winter season,)
(he used up all the snow spray.)
(Where is the snow?)
(He just pretends to spray it.)
He is quite tall.
He has a bulky build.
His opponent is...
an unstoppable singer in our neighborhood,
Speaker in My Town.
(Let's have fun together.)
(He is acting silly.)
My goal is simple.
You will see the new King of Mask Singer today.
(Embarrassed)
I just saw other people saying this.
(It turns out he is a big fan of this program.)
(I saw other singers dancing like this.)
(Welcome, you little rascal!)
He looks so excited already.
He's walking with light steps. I guess he is young.
I'm not falling for that anymore.
(Bong Sun is the cause of distrust.)
I have nothing to say.
(Snow Ball and Speaker)
(The two masked singers made a festive atmosphere.)
(What song will they be singing together in the first match?)
("To You" by Muhangwedo)
It's Muhangwedo's song.
("To You" by Muhangwedo)
(They inaugurate the festival...)
(with a cheerful song.)
(He starts singing.)
(He's startled.)
(He started too soon.)
(He ends it nicely, though.)
(Surprised)
(He has a firm voice.)
(Nice.)
(Speaker's enchanting voice has a strong power.)
(He is bold enough not to get flustered by his early mistake.)
(You)
(Me?)
(He has a rough yet soft emotion.)
(Snow Ball is a manly man.)
(With his powerful singing, Speaker heightens the mood.)
(The studio is on fire with Snow Ball's passion.)
(We can't stay still when the music is this lovely!)
(I'm rough.)
(I'm gentle.)
(Even their performances show their different characters.)
(Even if I lose everything)
(I can't)
(Lose)
(You)
(Their performance makes our hearts flutter.)
(They race towards love.)
(Let's go.)
(Join us.)
(Snow Ball has a charming voice with a passionate energy.)
(Speaker has a strong will in his beautiful voice.)
(Let's go.)
(Their voices are different.)
(Surprised)
(But they become one and show a strong harmony.)
(The two masked singers sing with all their souls and might.)
(And everyone enjoys their performance.)
(It's a beautiful finale.)
(Their energetic performance of "To You" heats up the crowd.)
(How refreshing!)
What a great start for the day.
That was such a lovely performance.
(They feel awkward.)
(They greet each other.)
Aren't they adorable?
The first match of Round One has come to an end.
Please say hello to our viewers first.
Snow Ball, you can go first.
- There is first snow in my heart. - Yes. Yes.
I'm Snow Ball.
(Hello, Snow Ball.)
He's a very unique man.
It seems like he loves snow. He's Snow Ball.
Hello.
- I am Speaker in My Town. - Yes.
He seems like someone who talks a lot.
He looks like a talkative man.
I see a very familiar face.
- Kang Ta from H.O.T joined us. - Hello.
- Kang Ta. - Hello.
(Welcome, Kang Ta.)
What's your opinion on the first match?
It was very exciting. Perhaps because it was the first match,
but I could see Snow Ball being slightly nervous.
- Is that right? - He missed a beat.
But he didn't get flustered.
- He didn't get flustered. - No, he didn't.
Do you think he's a thick-skinned man?
I think the performance was more exciting because he was.
His strong energy really made the performance pleasant.
But after the first bar, Seung Woo said...
he could guess who he is.
- Did he say that? - Is that right?
But I got lost on the second bar.
- He got lost. - He is fickle-minded.
- Why did you do that? - Who did you think he was?
I thought Snow Ball was...
Choo Dae Youp. He's a comedian from MBC.
- Mr. Choo. - Yes.
(Everyone knows that he sings well like a professional singer.)
(He's famous for using music in comedy.)
Mr. Choo.
- You thought it was Choo Dae Youp. - Yes.
- After hearing the first bar? - Yes.
- I think he is... - Snow Ball.
underestimating Mr. Choo, but he sings very well.
- He sings very well. - Yes.
I once performed with him.
Perhaps you are underestimating Snow Ball.
I will tell you this.
It's very rare for us to know the outcome as soon as...
someone starts singing.
But he missed a beat from the very start.
(He missed a beat from the very start.)
(Goodbye)
- Really? - Yes.
We knew as soon as he started singing.
Did you just finish judging based on his first mistake?
If Snow Ball was any good, Speaker would've tensed up.
But Snow Ball was rather like a soothing medication for him.
- Speaker was very relaxed. - He was relaxed.
You should buy a lottery ticket today.
According to Gu Ra, Snow Ball will just...
- show his talent and go. - His talent would be...
- He won't make it. - Snow Ball seems to be...
interested in gaining fame...
- after he takes off his mask. - Yes.
That's why he came here. I don't think...
- he cares so much about singing. - You knew when he started?
During the rehearsal, I was fine as I didn't dance.
But today I had to dance, so I missed a beat.
I'll sing again. Can you replace the beginning part with this?
- You want to sing the intro again? - Can you edit...
- the intro part? - Okay. Then can you sing that part?
- Just think you're starting over. - I'll sing again.
We will give him another chance.
In 1, 2, 3.
(He started right on time.)
(He tries very hard to impress the audience.)
That's it.
That was good. Good job.
- Thank you. - Great job.
Looking at the way he acts,
I think he's similar to...
comedian Kim Kyung Jin.
(Kim Kyung Jin is a comedian from MBC.)
(He flutters.)
(He's known for his frivolous character.)
He's similar to comedian Kim Kyung Jin.
He's slightly offended by Gu Ra.
What did you think, Young Seok?
I think the performance they gave us was like a festival.
Also, I think Speaker has a very rich voice.
His voice is very strong and low. He has a great voice.
On the other hand, as for Snow Ball,
I tried to think hard about which part of...
- his singing I should praise. - Yes.
(He drops his head.)
- Is there nothing? - It wasn't easy to spot.
- I think... - He's passionate.
- That's why I said... - He's very naive.
- Well, in my opinion, - Young Seok is usually very nice.
his cuteness is beyond this world.
He pretended to play the guitar when there was guitar accompaniment.
It didn't look awkward or fake. He wasn't trying...
to heighten the mood.
He was just being his cute self.
I think he succeeded in appealing his charms.
(He's the happiest man.)
What's your guess on their professions?
- I think the left one is an actor. - You think he's an actor.
- Yes. - Snow Ball is an actor.
How about Speaker?
- I think he used to be a singer, - Yes.
but he took a break. I think he's a singer.
I think he's a singer who came back from a break.
Or this is also possible.
We call a person who has a big mouth...
"Speaker in Town".
- Right. - Yes. For someone who gossips.
Yes. In my opinion,
that big mouth...
- made him get kicked out. - His big mouth ruined him.
His big mouth got himself thrown out...
- from the entertainment industry. - And he now came back.
However, he had the talent he didn't want to waste.
That's why he came out here and gave himself another shot.
That's my guess.
Speaker prepared something for us.
He says he can impersonate...
famous singers.
First of all, I want to warn you...
that I really sound like them.
I'm in fact too similar to them. You might get flustered by that.
We will be worried about that after we listen to them.
First, he will impersonate Lee Seung Hwan.
There won't be voice alteration. Please start.
(Why did you do it)
I am sorry.
(That was too short.)
- Hey. - He sounded like Seung Hwan.
He did sound like Seung Hwan.
I think the next one will be tricky.
He's going to impersonate Lee Sun Hee.
(Surprised)
He's going to impersonate Lee Sun Hee. Please start.
(He seems talented enough to impersonate her.)
You are beside me
(Who is he impersonating?)
(He was so sure that he sounded like her.)
- You have to sing like Lee Sun Hee. - It's better to edit that out.
Should we do that?
In my opinion, based on his short height...
and singing ability,
he might be...
a member Vibe named Ryu Jae Hyun.
Ryu Jae Hyun.
(Vibe is a male duo that represents the country.)
(Songs like "Love Me Once Again", "While Looking at Your Picture",)
(and "Drink Again" are their hits.)
He sounds a lot like Ryu Jae Hyun.
(Is Speaker Ryu Jae Hyun?)
This time, Snow Ball will sing a song...
from the musical, "Man of La Mancha".
He wrote here that he wants to sing it with Kai.
Kai, would you kindly accept his request?
Yes, it will be my honor.
This is "The Impossible Dream" from "Man of La Mancha".
Music, please.
("The Impossible Dream" from "Man of La Mancha")
(Go ahead.)
(Surprised)
(My goodness)
(He sings like a classical singer with his majestic voice.)
(Impressed)
(Kai is a leading musical singer.)
(Envious)
(They thought Snow Ball was a comedian.)
(He has an unexpected talent that lets him sing a duet with Kai.)
(Thank you, Kai.)
(You diverted people's attention from my previous mistake.)
(The Man of La Mancha will move forward...)
(even if trials block his path.)
(That man will move forward with the last of his strength...)
(in order to reach his dream.)
(It's the breathtaking climax.)
(It was a beautiful duet that no one foresaw.)
(Bravo)
Bravo!
(Their performance was pleasing to everyone's ears.)
It was an amazing harmony.
- "Man of La Mancha". - Bravo.
- Bravo. - Thank you, Kai.
Snow Ball can sing very well.
He must be here to promote a musical.
- Really? - Yes.
Is he a musical singer?
In "Man of La Mancha", Jo Seung Woo played Don Quixote.
There are other characters such as Sancho Panza...
and a donkey.
- A donkey. - They make the musical more fun.
- He could've been those characters. - They're important characters.
There might be a big twist in his identity.
Please remember that.
Now, I will announce the result...
of the first match of Round One.
Between these two masked singers,
whom did the audience choose as the winner?
The winner is...
(Will the audience make memories this winter with Snow Ball?)
(Will they continue to listen to Speaker's singing?)
Who will win?
Who will move on to Round Two? Please show the result.
The winner is...
(Speaker in My Town won.)
Speaker won.
- Speaker! - Speaker!
I knew it.
(Speaker will continue to blast out music.)
- Speaker won. - Snow Ball sang a musical nicely.
Speaker in My Town beat Snow Ball...
and moved on to Round Two.
The final score was 74 to 25.
There was a big difference in their scores.
Please return to your waiting room. Please give him a big hand.
Speaker won...
and moved on to Round Two.
(Laughing)
I can't believe it.
Whatever the case, I am extremely happy.
Let's now find out who Snow Ball is.
Who could he be?
He will reveal his identity with a solo performance...
prepared for Round Two.
Please give him a big hand.
(Even when he missed a beat, he stayed calm.)
(He is the winner in terms of charms.)
(He is the cutest man in the universe.)
(Is he Kim Kyung Jin, the comedian?)
(However,)
(he surprised everyone...)
(with his unexpected singing skills.)
(Who could the mysterious Snow Ball be?)
("Gloomy Letter" by Yu Jae Ha)
It's a song by Yu Jae Ha.
- Is it "Gloomy Letter"? - It's "Gloomy Letter".
(It's song by the late Yu Jae Ha, the singer who sang of love.)
(How will Snow Ball sing "Gloomy Letter"?)
(Surprised)
He can sing very well.
(The way Snow Ball sings has changed dramatically from the duet.)
(Deep emotions shine in his sorrowful voice.)
(The studio is filled...)
(with his relaxed baritone.)
(The jazzy music...)
(and Snow Ball's voice create a lovely harmony.)
(He is good.)
(His sentimentality draws the audience to his performance.)
Now, Snow Ball, please take off your mask...
and reveal your face.
(My goodness.)
(I can't believe it.)
He is...
Who is he?
He must be handsome.
He is...
an actor with 20 years of experience...
who appeared in the movie "Friend", Seo Tae Hwa.
- It's Seo Tae Hwa. - It's Seo Tae Hwa.
I can't believe it.
- This is incredible. - I can't believe it.
He is a talented actor.
"Aren't we friends?"
(My goodness.)
(His sentimentality makes them become absorbed in the song.)
(Impressed)
(His voice alternates between strong and soft.)
(The actor's delicate emotions turn the performance into a drama.)
(It's nice.)
(His performance leaves behind lingering sentiments.)
(Seo Tae Hwa's "Gloomy Letter" was a healing performance.)
He is a talented man.
(How did we fail to see his talent?)
He is amazing.
That was incredible.
(He was in a movie that got 8,000,000 views.)
(He played Seung Taek, a model student in "Friend".)
(His roles include a sharp professor who doesn't know much about love...)
(and a just fire fighter.)
(For 20 years, he has played men with specialized professions.)
(Moreover,)
(he can cook...)
(and speak foreign languages.)
(He is an intelligent man with many talents.)
(The actor who appears in movies of all genres, Seo Tae Hwa)
(He's handsome.)
I'm sure Tae Hwa surprised you.
I heard Tae Hwa...
majored in vocal music.
- That's right. - Really?
(He majored in vocal music.)
(It's Tae Hwa 19 years ago.)
I'm very nervous.
I missed the rhythm because I was dancing.
- After that one mistake, - After that...
- I just gave up the rest. - It all fell apart.
- I see. - You had a bad start.
You should have sung this part well.
- But you... - I guess I was too careless.
By the way, it's maybe because...
- you were on the movie "Friend". - Yes.
You have an image of an exemplary,
- serious man with a keen eye. - Yes.
That's what most people think of you.
How is your real personality?
Frankly, whenever I play roles like a prosecutor or a professor,
my friends who know me well make fun of me.
Do your friends make fun of you?
They say I'm a great actor.
They think you're a natural actor.
They must think you're great.
Are you usually mischievous...
- and often play jokes? - Yes.
I'm whimsical, and I sometimes do crazy things.
- Do you? - Yes.
- He doesn't seem that way at all. - Actually,
the way he talked was so funny.
I assumed that he was one of us.
- An entertainer? - A comedian.
He's very funny.
I guess you lighten up the mood when you're with your friends.
Yes. When my friends gather, I usually host the party.
You're very talented.
- You take the lead. - Yes.
- I always wanted to sing here. - I see.
You freed yourself from your gentle image,
showed us your friendly side, and challenged yourself.
It was Seo Tae Hwa. I hope you'll all support him.
- You did a great job today. - Thank you.
(Please let us see your surprising charms more often.)
I had so much fun. I was encouraged by it.
If I ever get a chance to sing on a show again,
I think I'll be more comfortable to show you...
who I really am.
I believe I achieved my goal here today.
I would appreciate it if you will see me as a funny guy from now on.
I love you.
This is the result of Round One.
Speaker in My Town defeated Seo Tae Hwa...
and moved on to Round Two.
The second match of Round One.
He has a beautiful and brilliant voice.
Violin Man Is Being Tuned.
(Violin Man Is Being Tuned)
(Here comes Violin Man.)
Please enjoy my warm and emotional voice...
in this cold winter.
(Imposing)
(He's handsome.)
(Surprised)
He's wearing a mask with a violin.
He has a sturdy build.
(Dashing)
Here is his opponent.
Couples will break up, and singles will enjoy themselves.
Solo Piano Man Is Being Played.
(Solo Piano Man Is Being Played)
(I'm Piano Man.)
I, Piano Man, will melt your heart.
(I'm a solo artist, but I'm not lonely.)
(Let's have fun together.)
He's also tall.
Is he taller?
They're both so tall.
I'm absolutely sure they're models.
(Violin Man and Piano Man are both very tall.)
(Even their clothes look like those of models on the runway.)
- They look great. - They look great.
It's like a fashion show.
People will fall for them if they sing well.
(It's a fateful match between a piano and a violin.)
(What kind of a great song will they sing for us...)
(with the microphones they picked up instead of their instruments?)
(Curious)
(How will the duet song of these two charming men sound?)
("Passionate Goodbye" by Toy)
- It's Toy's song. - It's Toy's song.
In 1, 2, 1, 2, 3, 4.
("Passionate Goodbye" is the title track of Toy's sixth album.)
(It's an introduction with an exciting rhythm.)
(Let's enjoy their stage.)
(It's a brilliant voice just like the melody of a piano.)
(Piano Man's voice has a voice that makes your heart flutter.)
(Surprised)
(Wow)
(His voice is husky, yet soft.)
(His vibrato is delicate like violin strings.)
(His voice is even powerful.)
(They're good.)
(It's a great voice which sounds sad and sexy at the same time.)
(Violin Man's voice makes you feel emotional.)
(He's really good.)
(It's "Passionate Goodbye" sung by the two men.)
(It's an energetic stage.)
(Everyone is fascinated by their charms.)
(My dear Violin Man)
(He's cute.)
(His dramatic voice perks up your ears.)
(He skillfully controls the dynamics of his breathing.)
(Piano Man's voice is as sweet as sugar.)
(Who is he?)
(His delicate expression makes you want to protect him.)
(Dear my love)
(It's time to say goodbye)
(The days I spent with you were very precious.)
(If you wish to leave, I will let you go)
(Let's say goodbye passionately)
(A violin and a piano...)
(make a beautiful harmony of...)
(a passionate love.)
(Goodbye)
("Passionate Goodbye", a song with a beautiful melody)
(It's the best.)
I love them both.
- It was a beautiful stage. - They're both great.
I love their voices.
I think that tall man is an idol singer.
An idol singer?
The second match of Round One is now over.
Na Yeon and Tzuyu of Twice.
Your reactions were so different compared to the first match.
Don't you think so? When Snow Ball and Speaker were singing,
you just sat quietly and listened to their song.
This time, you both stood up until the end of the song,
and you even waved back at them.
(They even waved back at them.)
I guess you thought they were both quite charming.
- Yes. - Who did you like better?
(Giggling)
(He giggles like a fool.)
I guess you're more attracted to one of them.
Yes.
Is it Violin Man or Piano Man?
- I liked... - Go on.
(I'm curious.)
(I'm curious, too.)
(Who will it be?)
(Hesitating)
Violin Man.
- It's Violin Man. - Yes.
It's Violin Man.
I loved his singing from the beginning.
Did you? Piano Man must be devastated.
Tzuyu, I noticed you waving your hands.
Who was more attractive between the two?
I liked both of them,
but I...
(Please)
(It must be difficult.)
I agree with Na Yeon.
You agree with Na Yeon?
Yes, I think he has a great voice.
Two defeats.
You're so mean
According to Na Yeon and Tzuyu, Violin Man is more attractive.
Kai, you were watching like a hawk. What do you think?
I enjoyed their performances. I'll start with Violin Man.
He seemed like a professional as soon as he appeared on stage.
His center of gravity is at the back.
When you sing, your posture is important.
You know how athletes are very...
You should take a look at Piano Man first.
- Something doesn't seem right. - His head is thrown back.
(Flustered)
(He's witty.)
Piano Man also sang extremely well.
- Is he not a professional singer? - I don't think he is.
Is it because of his posture?
- No, it's not that. - Please look at him as you speak.
His center is in the back, but it's unstable.
In a way, I believe singers are like sculptors.
In order to make a beautiful sound,
singers also need to sharpen, build, and put things together.
I think Piano Man...
has the delicacy to find the perfect sounds.
That delicacy is in his voice. It was very pleasant to hear.
Violin Man has the stability of a very skillful singer.
The violin stands out the most during the legato.
(Mask Classic Theater)
(Legato: to play smoothly without disconnection between notes)
Violin Man, therefore, has a higher chance...
of standing out by selecting a ballad.
I believe he's an extremely skillful singer.
Now, let's see what Cho Jang Hyuk has to say.
I've never felt so refreshed after listening to a song sung by two men.
I'd like to focus on Violin Man's voice.
In recording studios, we use an equipment called the compressor.
The compressor is a device...
that catches sounds that are too loud or too soft.
It catches the mistakes that we make as humans.
When Violin Man sings,
it seems like he has a compressor in his chest.
He's able to adjust...
and find the best sounds...
before letting them out.
It's no wonder that...
those young ladies fell in love with that voice.
You're indeed an incredible expert!
That's exactly why we came up with the name,
Violin Man.
We noticed that he could tune sounds.
That's why we gave his this name.
Now, moving on to Piano Man.
I can see that he's very tall.
But as I listened to his voice,
I could feel a sense of innocence.
I think he has that characteristic in him, and he seems young.
Those physical movements tell me he's young as well.
The way he clasps his hands and stuff.
- Could you predict his job for us? - Looking at how clothes fit him...
I positive he's an actor who used to be a model.
Is it because of his height?
I can't help being biased.
That's not being biased. It's a fact!
Seong Ju's shoulders and Piano Man's chest are of the same height.
(My goodness)
I think his height is between 188cm to 190cm.
I thought about who could be that tall.
I mentioned Joo Woo Jae earlier,
but I think he's taller than Joo Woo Jae.
I thought of one actor that's 190cm.
He's Actor Lee Ki Woo.
(He's the actor that can make Ha Seok Jin look small.)
(He's an ex-model and actor who is 190cm tall.)
(Could Lee Ki Woo possibly be Piano Man?)
- Lee Ki Woo is taller than 190cm. - But Lee Ki Woo...
- has extremely broad shoulders. - That's right.
I think it's absolutely possible...
for him to cover up his shoulders...
with his clothes.
- Could it be anyone else? - Yes.
There's an MBC drama that airs on Wednesdays and Thursdays.
I think it's Nam Ju Hyuk from "Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok Joo".
- I had the same thought! - He's 188cm.
(He's an ex-model who's 188cm tall.)
(He's a rising rookie actor.)
(Is Ju Hyuk Piano Man?)
In order to help you guys guess who these two men could be,
I will let you hear Piano Man's real voice.
First, he will imitate Whee Sung's voice.
(The singer with a soulful voice, Whee Sung)
(Most singers have mimicked him at least once.)
Let us hear it.
(Don't cry, stupid)
(I'm really okay)
(It's a very weak soul.)
(Happily)
Stop there!
- It's definitely not Lee Ki Woo. - He's the best.
He has the frivolity that no actor can have.
- You don't think it's Lee Ki Woo? - No, absolutely not.
- Is he flippant? - Yes, indeed.
Gu Ra points out that Piano Man is flippant.
Next,
he will imitate Kim Dong Ryul.
(He will imitate the voice that could even dig up a cave.)
Let us hear you imitating Kim Dong Ryul.
(Back then)
(We were too young)
(Talking about the past)
(Brings us laughter)
Stop there!
- My goodness. - His style of imitating...
He doesn't just sound the same, but it's more like a caricature.
- He knows their distinct features. - He catches the important features.
Wow, he's really good!
He's doesn't sound the same, but he's really funny.
- He is? - Yes.
- He's charming! - Well...
The's a guy named Lee Myeong Hun on "SNL"...
who mimics Lee Kwang Soo.
I think it could be him.
Now, it's Violin Man's turn.
His specialty...
is dancing. The name of his dance is...
"The Instrument Dance".
I think this will be funny.
Give us the music for "The Instrument Dance".
Let's see what instruments appear in his dance.
(He starts off with the keyboard dance.)
I think it's the guitar.
(The guitar dance)
(Exciting)
He's using small movements.
I think it's the drum.
(He dances along.)
That will be all.
To compete with Violin Man's dance moves,
Piano Man will also show us some dance moves of his own.
It's a collaboration of snazziness and laughter,
"The Bluff Dance"!
Let's see how snazziness meets with laughter.
Give us the music for "The Bluff Dance"!
(This song is...)
(full of snazziness. It's "Fiction" by Beast.)
(It's hard to imagine how this cool song can become funny!)
(Smoothly)
(He starts off with a snazzy move.)
(There you go.)
(Acting silly)
He's being cool and funny at the same time.
My goodness. This is cool!
This is funny. Now, he's cool again.
He's cool at one point. Now, he's funny.
(Swaying gently)
You're good at that. You're good.
That will be all. It was the song "Fiction"!
(It captured the hearts of women.)
- Cool and funny at the same time! - It's definitely not Lee Ki Woo!
- Lee Ki Woo won't ever do that! - I see.
I think it's Lee Myeong Hun.
- Lee Myeong Hun. - After listening to Gu Ra,
- I also think it's Lee Myeong Hun. - Do you know Lee Myeong Hun?
Yes, Twice recently did a shooting with him.
- There's a resemblance, right? - Yes, there is.
You see?
Na Yeon supports Gu Ra's opinion.
This was the second team of Round One.
Let me give you the results.
Between the two masked singers,
who do you think will move on to the second round?
Please reveal the winner of this match!

who will be moving on to the second round.
The winner is...
- The winner is... - The winner is...
The winner is...

(What will be the result?)
Between Violin Man and Piano Man,
let's find out who the winner is!
(Violin Man)
Violin Man is the winner!
(Violin Man will be moving on to the next round.)
(The judges congratulate...)
(and encourage him.)
Violin Man is the winner.
The score was 68 to 31.
Violin Man will move on to the second round.
Please return to your waiting room.
Please send him a round of applause.
(The identity of Piano Man will soon be revealed.)
I plan to show a more powerful side in Round Two.
Let's go.
Let's find out who Piano Man really is.
Let's find out while listening to his solo performance.
Please give him a big round of applause.
(He delicately delivers beautiful sounds.)
(He's tall, but he has a pure and youthful sensitivity.)
(He's great at impersonations.)
(He's both funny and charming.)
(The witty Piano Man is...)
(Is he actor Lee Ki Woo?)
(Is he Nam Ju Hyuk?)
(Is he Lee Myeong Hun?)
("I Love You" by Tim)
Who could it be?
(He has a beautiful voice and delicate emotion.)
(He confesses love quietly with a sorrowful voice.)
(His clear voice moves the audience.)
(He has a heartrending voice.)
(Who could Piano Man be?)
Now, Piano Man, please take off your mask...
and reveal your face.
- My goodness. - Please reveal your face.
They're shocked.
I can't wait to find out.
Who is it?
Now, Piano Man, please take off your mask...
and reveal your face.
He is none other than...
is the rising star, Joo Woo Jae, a model who debuted four years ago.
- Really? - It is Joo Woo Jae.
(My goodness)
It's Joo Woo Jae.
You always talked about him.
- It's him. - It's Joo Woo Jae.
(Gu Ra, you know my voice now, don't you?)
(He puts aside his playfulness.)
(He gets serious with his innocent voice.)
(Joo Woo Jae expresses love with his rich voice.)
He has a beautiful voice.
(I love you)
(Ardent emotions are expressed through his beautiful voice.)
(I cry without making a sound.)
(Innocent loving voice, "I Love You" by Joo Woo Jae)
(You're amazing.)
(He's a model that knows how to sing.)
He's handsome.
He's charming.
(How could I have not guessed it right?)
He's handsome.
Piano Man is...
the rising star, Joo Woo Jae.
I strained my voice while impersonating singers just before.
My name is Joo Woo Jae, and I'm a model.
I see.
(He debuted as a model in 2014.)
(With trendy style and perfect proportions,)
(he shows off an ideal boyfriend look.)
(He appeared in many variety show programs.)
(He's in the spotlight for being the rising star in entertainment.)
(Joo Woo Jae is a well-rounded entertainer.)
During his interview, Joo Woo Jae said,
"I want to achieve recognition from Gu Ra."
- That's what I heard. - He's a funny guy.
The first time I appeared on a variety show program,
the first person I met was Gu Ra.
- After that... - He kept mentioning you.
When I was called to appear in other programs,
they would tell me during meetings that Gu Ra recommended me.
- "Woo Jae is funny." - I recommended you.
- I did. - "You won't regret having Woo Jae."
- Yes. - I was...
deeply moved. I'm only a rookie.
That's right.
I thought I should think of him as my father of variety show programs.
- Father of variety show programs. - Yes.
I had a chance to appear in "Radio Star".
I appeared as a fan of Yoon Jong Shin.
- That was my role. - That's where it all went wrong.
Well...
Who would be such a big fan of him?
You should have been Gu Ra's fan.
He wouldn't even glance at me.
- He wouldn't once. - He didn't support you.
I felt betrayed.
I supported him so much, but he appeared as a fan of Yoon Jong Shin.
I felt like I was thrown in a clothing bin.
That's why through King of Mask Singer,
I wanted to receive recognition...
- That his judgement wasn't wrong. - that I'm not that boring.
- I would be satisfied with that. - I see.
I'll change my mind again.
I will go around...
recommending Joo Woo Jae again.
If you're not funny again, it'll be the end for the both of us.
I will revive...
community spirit between us.
I'll lead the way.
He put aside his image on variety show programs.
As a man who loves music,
he put on an impressive performance.
Please give a big hand for Joo Woo Jae.
- Thank you. - Good luck!
Thank you.
(We hope the best for your career.)
(He's relieved.)
So this is what it feels like.
I didn't think that both Na Yeon and Tzuyu would choose Violin Man.
I think I'll like Twice even more now that I know they're honest.
I wanted people to know that I'm a person that loves music.
Now that I've shown a different side to me,
I think I can walk home with light heart and get a good rest.
Audience of King of Mask Singer,
don't forget my voice.
I'm Joo Woo Jae.
Violin Man Is Being Tuned beats Joo Woo Jae...
and moves on to the next round.
Right after this show ends, an online mobile survey...
for this week's masked singers by netizens will proceed.
Please join the survey.
We will continue with...
Round One.
It's the third match of Round One.
If you want to be King of Mask Singer, wake up early.
The sun is at high noon.
Time Runner Rabbit.
(Let's go to Wonderland, Alice.)
You'll be fascinated by my charms.
(Hello.)
(She's cute.)
She's cute.
- I bet she could be the next King. - Why?
- I have a feeling. - You do?
Against her...
is the unidentifiable mysterious vocal,
Mysterious Hat Seller.
(Mysterious Hat Seller)
(Would you like to buy some hats?)
Come and hear my music.
(Buy some hats.)
(You're charming.)
I bet he's good as well.
- He's charismatic. - He's confident.
- Is it a man or a woman? - A woman.
- It's a woman. - It's a woman.
It is.
We'll find out from her voice.
(It's time to hear their voice.)
(They're all curious to find out.)
(To which wonderland will Hat Seller and Rabbit invite us to?)
("Love in the Milky Way Cafe" by 10cm)
(Hat Seller has a soft and pure voice.)
(What?)
Is it a man or a woman?
(Is Hat Seller a man or a woman?)
I don't know.
(Like a rabbit, she has a bouncing voice.)
(It's as if she's confessing her sweet love.)
(Who is it?)
(Hat Seller answers with a soft voice.)
Is it a man?
(He's as expressive as a rainbow.)
(I can't live a day without you)
(I can't walk the streets without you)
(The romance between Rabbit and Hat Seller is sweet.)
(Her voice sparkles like galaxy.)
(Her lovely voice is pleasing to hear.)
(She is lovely.)
(Her natural voice is so refreshing.)
(It's a love confession with a young sensibility.)
(She's really good. Who is she?)
(They are so different,)
(but they harmonize in love.)
(They are so lovely.)
(I think it's a woman.)
(The voices are as mysterious as their identities.)
(Just like the coffee from your favorite coffee shop,)
(their voices are so sweet and addictive.)
(I never get tired of watching you.)
(Our love is great because it's so common.)
(It was a love trip to the Milky Way Cafe.)
They do seem like magicians.
(By the way...)
- I can't guess at all. - I don't have a clue.
(Their identities are still a mystery.)
The third duet song match of Round One has ended.
Press number one for Time Runner Rabbit...
and number two for Mysterious Hat Seller.
Between these two masked singers,
who will be the one to move on to Round Two?
Gu Ra, cast your vote. Gu Ra.
- Right. I'm sorry. - Okay.
All the votes are in.
- I forgot to cast a vote because... - Go on.
we are confused about...
Mysterious Hat Seller's gender.
- You are confused. - Yes.
We can't decide whether Hat Seller is a man or a woman.
We don't know whether Hat Seller is male or female,
so I'd say that Hat Seller is a hermaphrodite.
- There was a debate... - That's my proposal...
- that delayed the vote. - I'd like to submit.
- Let them say hello first. - Go ahead.
I hope we'll figure something out from the greeting.
That's right.
(Rabbit says hello first.)
Hello, I'm Time Runner Rabbit.
- She's a pink rabbit. - Rabbit is a girl for sure.
Rabbit is a girl for sure.
- She is... - She is so cute.
The panelists can't decide whether Hat Seller is male or female.
Hat Seller, please say hello to the viewers.
(Clearing the throat)
Hello,
I'm Mysterious Hat Seller.
- Hat Seller is a man. - I think...
Hat Seller pretends to be a man.
- I'm confused. - There's a debate from the start.
Kai, could you speak first?
To begin with, I personally think...
that Hat Seller is a woman.
Her voice sounds like that of Park Jung Ja.
- The voice she has... - That voice.
is as low as that of Jung Ja's.
She may be an old actress.
The gesture she made...
and the way she sang...
felt like those of a virile woman.
- She may be an old actress. - That's right.
Now...
(Clapping)
Hyun Chul, do you want to say something?
He can't speak well because he caught a cold.
He clapped to get attention.
- Bong Sun. - Yes.
Are you his carer?
Yes. I'm here as his interpreter for today.
Okay. Hyun Chul, you can speak now.
You wrote something on the sketchbook.
You are talking about a singer like Annie Lennox from Eurythmics.
A singer like Annie Lennox who sings like a man.
(She grew sideburns and short hair.)
(She sang in a man's attire.)
(Is Hat Seller a epicene woman like Annie Lennox?)
Grab the mike and answer in one word.
- Is Hat Seller male or female? - Female.
- He thinks Hat Seller is a woman. - He indeed answered in one word.
It's beyond question. Hat Seller is a woman.
- Strategist Yu. - I'd say a woman, too.
(He guessed that Hat Seller is a woman.)
Hat Seller is a woman for sure, then.
- You think Hat Seller is a woman. - Yes.
My grandmother has a very nice baritone.
You think it's a possible outcome.
I've heard this kind of baritone a lot.
Kang Ta, Gu Ra, and Han Young, you are totally in panic.
I'm not in panic. Not yet.
- Are you sure? - When she cleared her throat,
I overheard her voice.
The voice sounded like that of a woman.
Please say hello to the viewers.
(Clearing the throat)
(Is it a woman's voice?)
The frequency of a woman's voice and a man's voice are different.
It's definitely the frequency of a man's voice.
Jang Hyuk is sure that Hat Seller is a man.
- And also... - And also,
when he sang falsetto in the beginning,
I was so confused.
But then he lowered an octave...
and sang the same note in a lower tone.
(He lowered an octave.)
(He sang with a lower voice.)
Hat Seller is a man.
It was a tone that only men could have.
It wasn't a baritone of a woman.
Female singers tend to raise...
their voices in the climax.
The fact that he lowered his voice in the climax means...
he sings best with lower notes. That's why Hat Seller is a man.
There's a gesture I saw. While he was standing,
he unwittingly stretched his body.
It seemed like a typical gesture of a man.
When we argued about whether Hat Seller is a man or woman,
she folded her arms and made this gesture.
It seemed like a gesture of a woman mimicking a man. Like that.
It felt like she was trying to imitate...
- a man's gesture. - So far,
Young Seok, Jang Hyuk, Kang Ta, and Han Young think it's a man,
while Kai, Hyun Chul, Seung Woo, and Bong Sun think it's is a woman.
Count Na Yeon in.
Gu Ra's expression tells that he's still confused.
I'd say that Hat Seller is androgynous.
- Androgynous. - Come on.
Androgynous.
- Androgynous. - He's sitting on the fence.
- Rabbit. - Yes.
I'd like to hear from you. Is Hat Seller a man or a woman?
Tell us as a singer who sang with Hat Seller.
- Is Hat Seller male or female? - Rabbit, you think Hat Seller is...
- Do you not understand us? - I don't.
(Both of them are confused.)
Do you know Hat Seller's gender for sure?
- Do you? - I do.
Is Hat Seller a man or a woman?
- Well... - It's a secret.
- Let's keep it a secret. - What's the big deal?
(He is annoyed.)
Since when did we guess the singer's gender?
(I never told you to do so.)
We have to guess the singer's face as well as the gender.
How are we going to cope with that?
- I think Hat Seller is a woman. - Hat Seller is a woman.
- Did you say a woman? - Na Yeon thinks it's is a woman.
- Tzuyu. - I'd say it's a man.
- Even they can't see eye to eye. - I agree. Hat Seller is a man.
What's happening?
People have different opinions.
Let's talk about their performance.
Jang Hyuk, could you speak first?
First of all, Rabbit is a very young singer.
Judging from her voice, she's in her 20s.
Her voice is fresh and new.
Also, the way she sings matters.
She exhales and inhales...
at the right timing.
She thinks a lot while she sings.
We can expect greater things...
in the future from her voice.
Right.
Rabbit's voice...
gave me an impression that she's hiding her true skills.
The melisma before she sings the last note has...
a distinctive characteristic...
that she has gained by herself while being trained as a singer.
There's a group named "Bolbbalgan4".
- "Bolbbalgan4". - Her voice is...
similar to that of the vocalist from the group.
(With a unique voice and beautiful lyrics,)
(the group has written a new history of music charts.)
An Ji Young is the name of the vocalist.
- I think she's An Ji Young. - An Ji Young.
Yes, Hyun Chul.
Hyun Chul who caught a cold.
(What would he say?)
She sang her husband's song.
What do you mean by that?
She sang her husband's song.
- She sang her husband's song. - Whom do you mean?
- Rabbit. - Rabbit.
- Who's the husband? - I think it's Okdal.
- She is Kim Yoon Ju. - Exactly.
(This lovely band comforts the youth.)
Is she Kim Yoon Ju of Okdal?
- Yes. - Her voice is very clear.
- Okdal. - Yes.
Now, you will hear...
Hat Seller's real voice.
(Coughing)
That looks like a woman's gesture.
- Is Hat Seller a man or a woman? - A woman.
His specialty is...
imitating the voice of a person who inhaled helium gas.
Hat Seller, please start.
Come on, come on. Gu Ra.
You talk too much.
(What did you say?)
Yes, there I said it.
- That's it. - You talked to me just now.
- Yes. - Why me?
That's because she is a woman.
- A woman? - Yes.
I think she likes me.
(What?)
As I've been single for a few years,
many ladies in my neighborhood are interested in me.
They even asked me about my favorite food.
There are a lot of people talking to Hat Seller here,
and all Hat Seller cares about is what I said to her.
So I guess she is a woman.
- I'm sure she's a woman. - That's what he thinks.
Right.
Then Hat Seller will sing a song...
with a voice that sounds like it inhaled helium gas.
Let's hear it.
(I'm dreaming of a white)
(Christmas)
(Just like the ones I used to know)
(Where those...)
Stop. Please stop singing.
She is a woman.
That was enough.
Even though she is a woman, I think she is a bit old...
based on her pronunciation.
- It is an old person's accent. - I know.
- Don't you like the accent? - It's not that I don't like it.
She just sounds old.
- It was old style. - It sounds old-fashioned.
She sounded old when she said "what's this?"
- "What's this?" - She said that.
- It sounds Korean. - "What time is it now?"
She sounded like this.
- It sounded more like "white". - "White"?
I'm dreaming of a white
Hat Seller sounded like this.
- What's wrong with that? - I'm dreaming of a white
You are supposed to sing it like this.
But the accent was weird.
It had a clear "H" sound when he pronounced "What's this?"
It sounds old-fashioned.
I think she is around my age.
The way he acted while speaking English...
was very similar to back when American culture was...
first introduced to the country.
(Really?)
Do you think he used to live in the United States?
I think he is at least in his 50s.
Or he can be in his 60s or 70s.
I bet she grew up with US soldiers around her as a child.
- That's what I think. - I agree.
- It was a tough time. - That's right.
Our country was very poor back then.
She'd have said, "Give me some chocolate."
That's my guess.
(Hat Seller's identity is becoming more mysterious.)
I see. Now it is time to hear...
Rabbit's real voice.
She is good at singing original sound tracks of movies.
First, she will sing the original sound track...
of "The Man from Nowhere".
(You can tell me why)
(The middle-aged men seem to be impressed.)
(I will save you, Rabbit.)
(I couldn't forget)
(Amazed)
(Her dreamlike voice sounds like the original song.)
That's enough.
(She sounds the same.)
- She's so good. - Let's continue.
She will sing the original sound track of "Nowhere to Hide".
It is "Holiday" by Bee Gees. Please sing.
(Oh you are a holiday)
(He gets knocked down by her fascinating voice.)
(Holiday)
That's enough.
(Her voice is rather addictive.)
Young Seok is giving a standing ovation.
Good. Now, it is...
Hat Seller's turn to show off his dance moves.
It's Hat Seller's exciting dance. Music, please.
(Dancing)
He's dancing the twist.
(He looks around carelessly.)
(Oh, my gosh.)
(Should I make a move?)
(Let's just do it.)
(Let's grab some carrot juice.)
He is dancing with Rabbit.
I'm sure he is a man.
(With all the flirting and dance moves, he looks like a man.)
He's dancing the twist.
Watch his dance moves carefully.
(Now he looks like an old lady.)
Is Hat Seller a man or a woman?
(Dancing lightly)
(I'm confused.)
That's enough. It was an exciting dance.
(It makes the panelists even more confused.)
- This is crazy. - Is she a woman?
- She's a woman. - He is too manly to be a woman.
He just showed his dance moves.
Let's hear from someone with a strong opinion.
Please tell us your opinion.
I think Hat Seller is...
a man with good sense. As we are confused about his gender,
he keeps trying to confuse us...
by making some gestures and doing pantomimes.
Then I thought about who could be so good...
at doing pantomimes just like he did.
Then it occurred to me that he could be a magician.
- A magician? - He is acting...
like a magician now.
He keeps making unique gestures.
So I guess he could be Choi Hyun Woo.
- Choi Hyun Woo? - That's right.
(He is a short magician with nimble fingers.)
(He is the first class magician with a sweet voice.)
(Is Choi Hyun Woo Hat Seller?)
- Is he a magician? - He looks startled.
- You are saying he is a man. - Yes.
- He has a sweet voice. - She's right.
He has this suspicious hat like a magician.
- That's right. - Don't you think?
He makes a lot of gestures, too.
No one has ever responded like this to my suggestion before.
They are agitated by Yoon Seok's opinion.
- He's right. - I'm surprised.
- You are useful today. - We had no clue.
So even Yoon Seok's opinion...
sounds plausible.
- See? I can be useful. - Is he really Choi Hyun Woo?
Now, I will announce the result...
of the third match of Round One.
We have two masked singers here.
Who will move on to Round Two?
I'll now reveal the winner of this match.
Rabbit versus Hat Seller.
(With her sweet voice like cotton candy,)
(Rabbit pleased people's ears.)
(Rabbit with cute lovely charms)
(With his clear emotional voice,)
(he sang a heart-warming song.)
(Hat Seller with a mysterious voice)
Who is the third winner...
who will move on to Round Two?
The winner is...
Who is the winner?
The winner is...
(The winner is...)
(Two masked singers in Wonderland)
(They came all the way here to become the King of Mask Singer,)
(but only one of them will move on to Round Two.)
Who will move on to Round Two? Please show us the result.
The winner is...
The winner is Rabbit.
(Dazed)
Rabbit wins.
(Rabbit hops to Round Two.)
(With her sweet voice,)
(she melted the panelists' hearts...)
(and moved on to Round Two.)
Rabbit won. She did a good job.
It was 70 to 29.
She got 70 votes...
and won the match.
Please go back to your waiting room.
Please give her a round of applause.
(The mysterious identity of Hat Seller will be revealed soon.)
(She leaves the stage carefully.)
(I won!)
I won.
I'm still bewildered.
Do they know who I am?
(It's time to hop to Round Two.)
I will see you later.
It's time to find out who Hat Seller is.
There is a great diversity...
- of opinion about his identity. - I'm really curious.
- Is Hat Seller a man or a woman? - If he's a man, it'll be shocking.
We'll figure it out with a solo performance prepared for Round Two.
Please give Hat Seller a round of applause.
(Hat Seller's mysterious identity is about to be revealed.)
(Is she a woman with a low voice?)
(Is Hat Seller really a woman?)
(Is he 100 percent sure Hat Seller has a man's voice?)
(Is it a voice only a man can have?)
(Controversy continued to swirl around Hat Seller's gender.)
(Then there was Hat Seller's old-fashioned accent.)
(White)
(Is Hat Seller around Gu Ra's age?)
("I'm Your Man" by John Park)
(Is he is singing "I'm Your Man" because he's a man?)
(Hat Seller is singing in a low voice without falsettos.)
(The voice sounds different now.)
(The voice becomes thin and delicate again.)
Is Hat Seller a woman?
I have no idea.
(The panelists get even more confused with a different voice.)
(I have no idea.)
(What?)
(I don't know!)
He's a musical actor!
(The exciting melody makes everyone forget all about his identity.)
(Excited)
(There's a man with a face full of trouble in the festive atmosphere.)
- I still don't know who he is. - Me, neither.
But I'm sure he's a man.
(This man is like a bat.)
(Androgynous?)
(He dances cutely to the rhythm.)
(I won't tell you to go home.)
(He has a charming voice that lifts up the listener's mood.)
(Mysterious Hat Seller)
(Who is behind the mask?)
Now, Hat Seller, please take off your mask...
and reveal your face.
(Screaming)
(I can't believe my eyes.)
Why?
- Who is he? - Why?
Who is he?
Why? Why?
(They weren't even sure about Hat Seller's gender.)
He is...
an American man who loves Korea, Tyler.
(Wait a minute.)
(Is he American?)
(Hat Seller's gender wasn't the matter.)
(He is American.)
(He lied to everyone not only about his gender,)
(but also about his nationality.)
(Shouting)
This is incredible.
I am about to lose my mind.
(We were tricked on a more important matter.)
It's Tyler.
(It's nice to meet you.)
(People were fooled on his gender and nationality.)
(The twist is both shocking and scandalous.)
(Hat Seller was Tyler, a 28-year-old American man.)
(It's unarguable that she is a woman.)
(I see that it's arguable.)
(My grandmother has a nice baritone.)
(I miss my grandmother.)
(The panelists' comments were proven wrong.)
Who said that his pronunciation is bad?
(I think she is a bit old based on her pronunciation.)
(He is American.)
(It's an accent from a long time ago.)
(He is American.)
(You are supposed to pronounce it like this.)
(He shouldn't call himself an expert.)
(Listen well. This is the accent of an American.)
(His flawless Korean will make Robert Holley cry.)
This is incredible.
(He expresses his emotions in the lyrics.)
(From the way he sings, people will believe he is Korean.)
(I will shout with confidence.)
(I'm your man)
(You are great.)
(He finishes the song with style.)
(It was a surprising and cheerful performance with twists.)
(People cheer for him.)
Tyler!
Yes!
(Excited)
You are the best.
It was the most interesting performance.
His bad pronunciation must've been deliberate.
You are right.
My goodness.
(What's the point of knowing everything now?)
Mysterious Hat Seller's identity has been revealed.
Please say hello to the viewers.
Hello, I am Tyler. It's nice to meet you.
Hello.
(He is making his way through show business.)
(Tyler has been appearing on many shows for the last three years.)
(With his charms and knowledge,)
(he is leading different programs.)
(He has mastered five languages.)
(He is the Einstein of show business.)
(An American man who loves Korea, Tyler)
When Tyler sang a Christmas carol,
the panelists said he has an old man's accent.
They said that to an American man.
They said...
he pronounced "White Christmas" incorrectly.
- May I add a comment? - Of course.
Regarding the pronunciation of the word, "White",
the stress was put on "Wh" in the past.
- Hence the pronunciation. - That's right.
- Thus, - It was like that in the US.
if you want to add a nostalgic atmosphere to a song,
- you should use such pronunciation. - I see.
(I see.)
That's why I brought up the way you pronounced "What's this?"
Gu Ra got everything wrong.
- That's right. - He was sure Tyler was a woman.
He also said that Tyler sounds old.
Ever since I participated in the show as a masked singer,
I came to look down on the experts among the panelists.
However, I had trust in Kai. That's why...
I believed him when he said Hat Seller is a woman.
Thus, I agreed that Hat Seller is a woman.
- Kai was wrong. - You can look down on me.
I will do that.
Tyler, your image of a smart man...
makes you unapproachable.
Since I always use four-character idioms...
in different programs,
people mistakenly think I am serious.
I welcomed a chance to perform on this show since it shows...
my other sides.
Thank you.
He speaks Korean fluently.
As a young man who loves Korea,
Tyler gave us cheerful performances.
- Please give him a big hand. - Bye.
Thank you. Thank you.
Good job.
(We look forward to seeing more of your charms.)
I went to a prom when I was in high school.
It's an event that occurs once a year.
People suggested that the theme should be a masked ball,
but I didn't understand the point.
I thought, "It's pointless if you can't see people's faces."
However, wearing a mask was so much fun.
Since people didn't know who I was,
I could enjoy myself better.
It had its own charm.
If it's possible,
I will do my best...
to show my different colors in various other variety shows.
Thank you.
Time Runner Rabbit beat Tyler...
and moved on to Round Two.
This is the last match of Round One.
She refuses to be ordinary.
She is a vocalist who enjoys the thrill.
It's Alice in Wonderland.
(Alice in Wonderland)
(She heads towards the world of masked singers.)
Where am I?
Am I already in the land of King of Masked Singer?
(Alice in Wonderland enters.)
(My goodness, it's Alice.)
Could Alice be a man?
- Alice has to be a woman. - We are questioning everything.
Opposing her...
is a woman whose song always becomes a hit.
Hitmaker Queen Heart!
(Hitmaker Queen Heart)
(I am the ruler of this show.)
My performance will receive hearts.
(I am the main event.)
(Queen Heart is so cool.)
She is strutting.
Both of them seem young.
Maybe they are idol singers.
It's possible.
(Their entrance grabs everyone's attention.)
(The characters of a famous fiction awaken people's imagination.)
(Alice in Wonderland)
(The two characters' fates are tied together.)
(What kind of performance will Alice and Queen Heart give?)
("Invitation to Myself" by Jung Kyoung Hwa)
It's time for a sentimental song.
It's a ballad song. It's "Invitation to Myself"!
- It's a difficult song to sing. - That's right.
- My goodness. - It's really hard to sing.
That's right.
(Surprised)
(Impressed)
(She expresses deep emotions with power.)
(Her breathing adds changes to the performance.)
(Who is she?)
(Queen Heart strikes back.)
(Her voice is elegant and charismatic.)
(She is good.)
(Impressed)
(The way she sings softly shows her talent.)
(Alice's performance turns intense.)
(Wow)
(She has a unique voice that stands out.)
(Her powerful voice gives everyone goosebumps.)
(She is incredible.)
(The duet with an irresistible charm makes everyone cheer.)
(They are good.)
(Tin Man's heart flutters...)
(at the harmony of their wild and soft voices.)
I think Queen Heart is a great singer.
I think Alice is a much better singer.
(They're so good.)
(It's so hard to choose one.)
(Her whisper soothes your heart.)
(You can feel a deep resonance in her voice.)
(I have no idea who they are.)
(Her unique singing style like a rock musician hits your ears.)
(Their opposite characteristics make a magical harmony.)
(Wow)
(It's time for Queen Heart to rule the stage.)
(She has a powerful and thrilling energy.)
(Queen Heart's majestic voice fills up the studio.)
(Amazed)
(The fantastic melody surges upon you without resting.)
(It's a fierce match between two master singers.)
(It was an entrancing invitation to a deeply touching stage.)
Gosh, that was the best stage ever.
Goodness. They're amazing singers.
They're so good.
- It's hard to choose one. - It really is.
They're both master singers.
The last match of Round One is now over.
Please say hello to the viewers. Alice, please go ahead.
Hello?
(Hello?)
Hello. I'm Alice in Wonderland.
(She's cute, but scatterbrained.)
- Alice. She's a bit scatterbrained. - Seong Ju.
Her mask looks strange. I think she's a strange person.
(Laughing)
- She's a bit... - She keeps...
looking around. She's quite peculiar.
Also, no one ever pretended to answer the phone before.
Why did she do that?
It seems like Alice in Wonderland is a bit odd.
Now, Queen Heart, please say hello.
It's good to see you. I'm Hitmaker Queen Heart.
- Hello. - All right.
Queen Heart is wearing a crown on her head.
It was such a tough match. I can't wait...
to see the result.
Gu Ra hardly stands up,
but he jumped to his feet and watched their stage in surprise.
What did you think?
There's a movie I watched more than 10 years ago.
It's "Death Becomes Her".
Goldie Hawn and Meryl Streep starred in that movie.
Both actresses starred in the same movie.
They are both very popular...
and amazing actresses.
People wondered how fierce their war of nerves would be.
Their stage was just like that.
It's like Kim Hye Ja versus Kang Boo Ja.
That's how it felt.
That's why I think...
if we add up their ages, it will be more than 100.
- When you add up their ages? - Yes.
You think they're quite aged.
Yes. I think so. If they aren't,
they wouldn't have been able to perform like that.
I think she is...
You mean Alice.
I think she's suffering from sciatic neuralgia.
- You mean hip gout? - Yes.
She kept on tapping her hip.
(In accordance with the dynamics,)
(she kept on moving her hipbone.)
(She also made fancy hand gestures.)
(Moving up and down)
(She could have stood still while singing.)
She kept sinking into the floor in the middle of singing.
I thought maybe she got weak in the knees.
- You think she has an illness. - Yes. That's what I thought.
They sound like experienced singers,
but I don't think they would be that old.
If we add up their ages,
- it would be around 80. - Around 80.
Look. That's not much different from 100.
They're not so different.
- The difference is 20. - These days,
people live up to 100 years. 80 and 100 are not much different.
I'm saying they're experienced, but they're not seniors.
They must be veteran singers, or they wouldn't sound so powerful.
If this stage wasn't a competition,
they would make the best team.
When the group has such strong competitors,
- they call it "group of death". - That's right.
I think this was that kind of a match.
Both of them did an amazing job.
From Alice's singing, in particular, I felt...
a strong will...
including a sense of perseverance.
I see. Please hold on.
I guess you find Young Seok's comments funny.
(She shakes her head while laughing.)
I think he's complimenting you.
Could you ask her what's so funny?
She's a strange woman.
What's wrong with you?
- Do you know me? - What's your problem?
- Did I sound funny? - Was it funny?
Hello?
She's saying it again.
- She's... - Look.
Are you Kim Gook Jin? Hey.
- Look. - She said it again.
- Why did you laugh? - Before I came,
I told myself that I can't be here as a viewer.
- I watch this show very often. - I see.
This is what I do...
(Laughing)
I laugh when I watch the show at home.
You think it's amazing that you're here.
Everything seems funny because you used to be a viewer yourself.
I think her mind is wandering right now.
Hold on. Is this show that funny?
- Well... - I doubt that.
I don't think it's that funny.
Seong Ju. I'll let Kai talk now.
Let's see if she laughs or not.
All right. Let's hear what Kai thinks.
Why do you keep stretching out your arm?
(Why is she stretching out her arm?)
She's afraid we might hear her real voice.
She's trying to hide her identity.
It's unusual that someone would laugh at something...
- they did themselves. - I know. She's laughing so hard.
They shouldn't have competed with each other.
I think the staff members...
- She's laughing again. - She is.
- Was his comment funny? - She laughs at everything.
She's a strange woman!
Queen Heart is strange, too. She's just standing still.
(While Alice was laughing so hard,)
(Queen Heart gracefully stood very still.)
They're both strange.
(Alice bursts into laughter.)
Alice laughs too much, and Queen Heart is too quiet.
Please make some appropriate movements.
Please loosen up a bit.
- Kai. - I was totally...
fascinated by their stage.
I think it had the beauty of filling and emptying.
Alice...
took out everything inside her heart and filled the stage with them.
If the song was a bottle, she completely filled it up.
She poured happiness, sadness, resentment,
and even the pain from the past.
As for Queen Heart, it felt like she thought, "I have everything."
"I'm confident to win this match."
"I'm sure people will compliment my performance."
She seemed full of confidence.
(I'm falling back.)
What's wrong?
(It's her idea of a big reaction.)
Why are you falling backwards?
I meant it in a good way.
She emptied her mind...
and thought she'd win if she showed...
her true ability. That's what it felt like.
Their match had the beauty of filling and emptying.
No matter who loses,
- everyone would be disappointed. - That's true.
I wish they could both win.
Hyun Chul, who has the cold,
wrote down, "It was a nip-and-tuck match."
Now let's hear what Jang Hyuk thought.
Here is what I thought about Alice's performance.
When a singer sings a very famous song,
he or she would naturally imitate the original song a little.
But Alice doesn't imitate the original song.
She turns every song into her own.
She sings them in her own style.
That means she is a...
renowned musician...
- in the world of music. - I see.
As for Queen Heart,
she freely controlled the volume,
the dynamics, and her breathing...
throughout the entire song.
In the latter part of the song,
she showed the softness that never breaks.
I really enjoyed their performance.
(Their performance made everyone happy.)
(It was the best.)
Now, they will show you their specialties.
Queen Heart will show you voice imitations.
Please go ahead.
(Kim Jong Seo)
(Ding-dong)
Now, it's Jung In.
(Jung In)
(She imitates Jung In's singing style.)
Lena Park.
(Lena Park)
(She imitates Lena's unique pronunciation.)
(It's Lena's typical ad-libbing.)
That was good.
It was good.
(That was amazing.)
It was an impromptu performance.
I just asked her to do the imitations in one song.
- That was good. - You did a great job.
Don't you think it was funny, Alice?
(Startled)
I laughed a lot.
(Of course I thought it was funny.)
- I don't think you laughed enough. - I think I know who she is.
- Do you? - Yes.
- You don't have to guess now. - Right.
Just focus on yourself.
You don't have to make a guess here.
Take care of yourself. I'm afraid they might find out who you are.
Alice, it's your turn.
She's good at voice imitations, too.
She will mimic...
Il Yong's mother from "Countryside Life".
You can guess her age from this voice imitation.
Please begin.
Now, Il Yong.
(She bursts into laughter.)
I told you to weed the field,
not to sleep here.
My goodness.
(She laughs with embarrassment.)
(Alice imitated Il Yong's mother really well.)
She's so funny.
She can act.
- Wasn't it good? - Excellent. It was good.
Now, she will imitate a man's voice.
It's Won Bin in "The Man from Nowhere".
Isn't it difficult to imitate him?
Let us hear Won Bin's voice.
How many cavities do you have?
(Surprised)
I run a pawn shop.
I take gold teeth.
I'll eat everything except the gold teeth.
Why would you choose such lines?
Why do you want to pluck gold teeth?
(She might pluck healthy teeth as well.)
Lastly, she will imitate Ok Hee...
- from "Mother and a Guest". - I feel like she'll nail that one.
It's Ok Hee's voice.
Mister,
do you like the side dish made with eggs?
(She's cute.)
My favorite side dish is the one made with eggs.
(Giggling)
(You are adorable.)
- She's good. - She's good.
- She's good. - She imitates different voices.
She's got talent.
Let's hear a minority opinion. Yoon Seok.
I listened to Queen Heart's song.
She sang high notes freely...
like a pumping piston.
Thus, she may be a musical actress...
who can sing even without a mike.
Alice is a rock musician.
- Is she a rock musician? - She is.
She's my favorite rock musician...
who's indispensable to Korean performing culture.
She's one of the four best female rock musicians.
Yoon Seok says that she's a rock musician.
It's a minority opinion.
Now, I'll announce the last result...
- of Round One. - Time flies so fast.
This is a death match.
There was only a difference of...
seven votes.
The last winner of Round One...
will be revealed now.
(She sings every sensibility...)
(without a hitch.)
(There's tenderness in strength.)
(The more we listen to her song, the deeper we fall for her.)
Who will be the last winner...
of the duet song match?
Let's see who the winner is.
The winner is...
- The winner is... - The winner is...
(Will it be Alice or Queen Heart?)
- Oh, my goodness. - Who's the winner?
(What will be the fate of Wonderland?)
Please reveal the last winner.
The winner is...
Let's see who the winner is.
The winner is...
(Hitmaker Queen Heart wins.)
Queen Heart.
(Just like always,)
(there are mingled feelings of joy and sorrow.)
- Gosh. - It's Queen Heart.
(Regardless of the result, it was a priceless match.)
Queen Heart defeats Alice...
and moves on to Round Two.
It was 46 to 53.
With a margin of seven votes...
(She gives a warm hug of consolation.)
Queen Heart became the winner.
They are consoling each other.
Even when she got defeated, she still smiles.
She's a marvelous woman.
- She is playful. - Right.
Queen Heart, please move to the waiting room quickly.
Give her a round of applause. She moves on to Round Two.
(We look forward to Round Two.)
Queen Heart won with a margin of seven votes.
I can't believe I won. I had fun.
(See you in Round Two.)
It was a neck-and-neck match.
She smiled until the end.
We will reveal her identity as we listen to her solo.
Please give her a round of applause.
(Finally)
("Stay" by Nell)
I love this song.
(Her voice is mellow and dreamy.)
(It's sexy as well as husky.)
(Dancing)
(She draws her breath to the top.)
(Such vocalization is hard to imitate.)
(She sings high notes freely...)
(while maintaining delicacy.)
(She's such a charming vocalist.)
(Her voice has a subtle charm.)
(Bewitching the stage with her unique voice...)
(is Alice with a wonderful charm.)
Now, Alice in Wonderland,
please take off your mask and reveal your face.
(Their hearts are throbbing and their pupils are dilated.)
(Finally)
(My gosh)
She is...
- Who is she? - Who is she?
She is...
a singer with 17 years of singing career,
You Jeen of Cherry Filter.
(Cherry Filter)
Cherry Filter.
(She's been mentioned on the show very frequently.)
(She is finally here.)
(It's good to see her face.)
(Alice was Cherry Filter's You Jeen.)
(We not only saw her charismatic side,)
(but also found out her pure and playful charm today.)
(She's a singer with an infinite charm.)
("Stay" was a magical performance.)
(The moment was dreamy like a time spent in Wonderland.)
So far in the show,
every time we heard great female singers sing...
like Yangpa, Rumble Fish, or Yeon Ji, we mentioned her name.
She is You Jeen of Cherry Filter.
Please say hello to the viewers.
Hello, nice to meet you. I'm You Jeen of Cherry Filter.
(She's the main vocalist of Cherry Filter, the rock band.)
(She proved her talent as a female vocalist through "Romantic Cat".)
(The band sold 100,000 records in the shortest period of time.)
(Her powerful energy electrifies the crowd.)
(There's no one who can sing like her.)
(Her unique voice is so enchanting.)
(You Jeen is one of the best female rock musicians...)
(and the symbol of Cherry Filter, the one-and-only band of Korea.)
In fact, You Jeen's voice is...
hard to miss. Isn't it?
It's even protected by whole life insurance.
As you all may know so well,
she sang hit songs like...
"Romantic Cat" and "Flying Duck".
I heard that you decided to perform today...
to redress the bias regarding those songs.
Many people think that rock bands are coarse...
and not interested in mainstream.
- That's what it feels like. - Yes.
But that's not entirely true.
I saw you singing with a mask today,
and I didn't think that you were too powerful or strong.
- You were so pure and smiled a lot. - Right.
Speaking of You Jeen,
many people might say that rock music is heavy.
However, there's strong appeal to it...
that you can't find anywhere else in the world.
Don't you ever give that up.
You have the most beautiful voice.
I hope you would let us hear more of it.
All right. Yoon Seok, you love rockers.
I have been her fan for a long time.
I have both "Fly" and "Head Up".
I have been a fan since your first album.
(He has been a fan since her debut.)
Instead of expressing regrets over how the public shuns rock music,
I hope rockers would visit programs like You Jeen did...
and popularize it.
- That's right. - She is laughing again.
You must be very happy.
Yes, I am very happy and grateful.
There is a band called The Cranberries.
They sang "Zombie".
This is how the song goes.
(The Cranberries is an Irish rock band with a wild vocal.)
I personally think of You Jeen as The Cranberries of Korea.
There is no one in the world...
who sings like her.
She is a rocker who should be considered as a national treasure.
That's right.
People only knew her as a powerful...
and androgynous rocker.
She overcame the prejudice today...
and presented her charming voice and warm heart.
Please give You Jeen of Cherry Filter...
- a round of applause. - Good luck.
(You Jeen is a talented rocker with 17 years of experience.)
I am glad you came.
I love you.
(She is shy even when she isn't on stage.)
My heart feels lighter.
I was conflicted. I wanted to be on the show,
but I also didn't think it would be a good idea.
The two emotions warred against each other.
(Sighing)
I learned one thing for sure.
I found out that many people...
still remember me.
It was... How should I say it?
It made me very happy.
I had so much fun today.
It was exciting. I am going home with many good memories.
Still, I am a bit sad that I got eliminated.
Is there a consolation match?
Please have me on the show again. Thank you.
