Today is the last Sunday in the month of January for the year 2016.
The challenge by the masked singers who are aiming to be...
the 22nd King of Mask Singer continues.
The mysterious music show, King of Mask Singer.
Will we see a new King of Mask Singer who will...
beat Catgirl and claim her throne?
Let's see the first match.
The first match of Round Two, the Semi-finals.
Last week, he defeated the singer Jadu.
After listening to his song, you will become a fan.
It's the Talented Singing Geek.
(I'm going to sing my heart out.)
(Ladies and gentlemen, I'm the Singing Geek.)
(Yes, the Singing Geek.)
- Starting from Round Two, - Yes?
we'll get to see their true talents.
Who is he?
(His thick mournful voice...)
(was a perfect compliment to Jadu's voice.)
- I'm almost certain he's a singer. - Okay.
He sings in falsetto at the end of the notes.
And he has a very rich vibrato.
I think he might be Lee Se Joon of Yurisangja or Lee Hyun of 8eight.
I think it might be Kim Dong Myung of Boo Hwal.
(Round Two begins with Singing Geek's performance.)
(King of Mask Singer)
(The audience's expectation is high.) (King of Mask Singer)
(What will Singing Geek show us this time?)
("Those Days" by Kim Kwang Seok)
(With his clear and resonant voice,)
(Singing Geek starts singing.)
(Wow)
(He expresses the mournful emotions with his delicate voice.)
(House Band)
I have no idea.
- Do you know him? - I'm not sure who he is.
(He doesn't have any clue.)
(He is amazing.)
(Listening to the tender melody,)
(they all get chills.)
(They feel the sadness in his heart through his voice.)
(It is like a monologue that he couldn't recite before.)
("Those Days" sung by Singing Geek)
(That was beautiful.)
- It was amazing. - It is so touching.
Oh, no.
He is unbelievably good.
I feel sad.
I think he has a lot of history.
(How could he sing the song so well?)
After beating Park Nam Jung,
he will continue to sing about his angled life.
It's Angled Life Square's Dream.
(I will show them a Square's Dream.)
(Hello, I am Square's Dream.)
(The writer of "Square's Dream" looks very excited.)
- He's got an attractive voice. - I'm excited.
I'm so nervous as if I am about to sing on the stage.
(He looks relaxed and professional on the stage.)
(He is even a good dancer.)
I think he is a little bit old, but he's a good technical singer.
- No one dances like that any more. - I see.
No one can dance like that unless the person is from 1980s or 1990s.
I'm sure he was a dance singer.
- Lim Hyung Jun? - I think he is Lim Hyung Jun.
(Are you ready, Square's Dream?)
(With everyone expecting a great performance,)
(what song will Square's Dream sing?)
("Mother" by Ra.D)
(Wow)
I love his voice.
(He sings calmly with his comforting voice.)
Oh, my. He's good.
(He calls her name lovingly.)
(He is tenderly singing the song, "Mother".)
(He sings the song with sincerity.)
(I love you.)
(Maybe he's called out her name thousands of times in his heart.)
(He's cried out calling her name deep in his heart.)
(Mother, I love you.)
(They can't help but think about their own mothers.)
Mother
My mother...
You are my...
You are my beloved...
mother
(Square's Dream dedicates the song to his mother.)
(The song "Mother")
- That song makes me miss my mother. - My goodness.
Are you crying, Gu Ra?
(It's rare for Gu Ra to shed tears.)
- Sae Rom, why are you crying? - Is she crying, too?
Sae Rom, why are you crying?
Please give him a round of applause.
(The panellists are touched by the song.)
The first match of Round Two that is the Semi-finals...
came to an end.
Which masked singer's performance...
touched the panellists more deeply?
It's time to make your decision.
Make up your mind...
and press the button.
(Everyone finds it hard to pick the winner.)
(Are you not going to vote?)
Hyun Cheol still hasn't voted yet.
Please press the button.
It's too hard.
No wonder some people aren't voting.
It's a difficult choice to make.
The stereotypes will influence you if you delay making a decision.
It's time to press the button.
All votes are in.
The solo performances were quite different from...
the duet performances of Round One.
I want to know what panellists thought.
I will start with Singing Geek.
There are five elements every musician needs.
Tune, tone, rhythm,
sentimentality and technique.
These elements need to harmonise and form a regular pentagon.
And I could tell that Singing Geek has that regular pentagon.
He doesn't lean on one element or the other.
- His singing skills have no fault. - I see.
And Square's Dream showed us that breathing completes a song.
(My mother)
The sound of one's breath in a song can move the audience...
- more than melodies. - All right.
Gu Ra.
I say this as someone in the audience.
This is a match between boxes.
- It is. - Right?
Singing Geek is like Gu Ra, the MC of "The Geeks".
Square's Dream is like Young Seok, the composer of "Square's Dream".
Isn't that too much of a stretch?
- I'm just making a connection. - All right.
Square's Dream sang "Mother" by Ra.D.
His choice of a song...
tells us that he is on the younger side.
- And he wore the box askew. - That's right.
He must have troubled his mother a lot...
by becoming a singer.
His mum would go, "Why would you put that on your suit?"
And he would answer, "Mum, this is what makes my outfit cool."
I'm sure he reminisced about his past and his mother...
to choose this song.
Conveying your emotions is crucial in singing a song like "Mother".
- A bad son would do a better job. - I see.
Those who passed the national exam can't sing "Mother" like that.
- I see. - It's truth.
Luna has sung Ra.D's "Mother"...
when she became the King of Mask Singer.
Luna's rendition of the song...
was delicate like a daughter's song for her mother.
Square's Dream's rendition made me picture...
a brusque son who isn't good at expressing emotions...
singing the song in his room alone as he misses his mother.
It touched me more deeply.
Luna's "Mother"...
felt like a song dedicated to her mother at home.
Square's Dream's "Mother"...
felt like a song dedicated to his mother who passed away.
I felt like he was calling out for someone...
who cannot answer back.
I enjoyed your performance.
Singing Geek sang "Those Days".
If Kim Kwang Seok comes back to life...
and sings a song on this stage,
he would have a voice like that.
His use of vibrations...
and the power and tone of his voice...
made "Those Days" perfect.
They both chose amazing songs.
I enjoyed the performances.
Square's Dream seems to be overwhelmed by emotions.
If I may ask,
has your mother passed away?
- My mother is alive. - Okay.
- But my father has passed away. - I see.
His mother is still with him.
During the performance,
I felt that Square's Dream was crying...
behind the mask.
(Even though he was overwhelmed by emotions, he continued to sing.)
(Sae Rom was busy wiping her tears.)
(The audience and the singer felt the same.)
Since he is overwhelmed with emotions right now,
I think Gu Ra was right in saying that he has been a bad son.
It's just a funny thought.
I recognised his voice during the performance by Square's Dream.
I don't think he would be here, but that might be my stereotype.
- Who is it? - I think he is Cho Yong Pil.
- Cho Yong Pil? - Yes.
- You think Cho Yong Pil is here. - I heard his voice.
- I'm serious. - Yong Pil is 67 years old.
- I really heard it. - He wouldn't sing that song.
- And he wouldn't sing it like that. - That's right.
- No? - Mother
Mother That's how he would sing.
I see. He would sing it like that?
Mother That's how he would sing.
Your talk of Cho Yong Pil stopped my tears.
Seong Jae, you were singing along. How did you like the performance?
Would it be okay if I guess the singer right again?
- Do you have a guess? - Get it right again.
We welcome you to make a guess.
- Square's Dream. - Square's Dream.
"Mother" by Ra.D...
is a song idol singers practise...
- when they are trainees. - That's right.
I think he is an idol singer.
- An idol singer. - And the only idol singer I know...
who has such broad shoulders and a husky voice...
is JUN.K of 2PM.
(Sexy and husky voice)
(Their physique earned the group a nickname of "Beastly idol group".)
(He is a member of 2PM.)
(Is Square's Dream JUN. K of 2PM?)
- JUN. K. - Yes.
Seong Jae correctly identified Wendy of Red Velvet last week.
He must have a hunch again.
Yes, my hunches are good.
I see.
Solo performances...
help the panellists make a closer guess.
Singing Geek...
has an exceptional lung capacity.
So we will have a match to test his lung capacity.
There is a perfect song for this occasion.
I went
Outside
The one who can hold out longer...
will be the winner.
Let's check out Singing Geek's lung capacity first.
Get ready. Start.
I went outside
Let me go again.
- What? - What was that?
- What was that? - He lasted two seconds.
- Since my voice is distorted... - What was that?
- I can't get the tune right. - I see.
- Please let me do it again. - You were confused.
All right. Please be understanding.
- I understand. - We will give him another chance.
- What was that? - Try one more time.
I went outside
(Start)
(That's pretty long.)
He keeps going.
(He has an impressive lung capacity.)
(End)
The time is 19.87 seconds.
It's just short of 20 seconds.
This time, Square's Dream will give it a go.
How large is his lung capacity?
You must last longer than 19.87 seconds to win.
- Square's Dream. - Wait a second.
- What is it? - Does the timer go from "Outside"?
- "Outside". - "I went..."
- "outside." - That's when I start the timer.
That's when I start the timer.
All right. Start.
I went outside
(Taking a breath)
He is smart.
What a clever man.
He took a breath first.
(Nervous)
His voice is losing strength.
(It's as if he is training under the waterfall.)
(Impressed)
(He makes his "Outside" last long.)
(That's pretty long.)
(He moves his body.)
Outside
What's the time?
It's 26.93 seconds.
Singing Geek was the one to propose the match,
but Square's Dream ended up winning.
Yoon Seok can do it well.
- He can? - Try "I went outside".
- That's right. He is a rocker. - Try it.
Get ready.
Start.
I went
Outside
(His voice is shaky from the start.)
- Keep going. - You can do it.
- Keep going. - Come on.
Only 10 seconds have passed. Keep going.
Keep going.
- Keep going. - He might pass out.
- Keep going. - Call 911.
Go on! Keep going, Yoon Seok!
- Keep going. - Call 911.
Come on.
(Right before he passes out)
That's it. What's the time?
He won, right?
It's 28.56 seconds!
He won!
Lee Yoon Seok won.
- Yoon Seok is the best. - Square's Dream lasted 26 seconds.
His time is 28.56 seconds.
They say that lean firewood burns longer.
That was amazing.
I almost doubled over.
The winner is Lee Yoon Seok...
- of celebrity panellists. - I shouldn't have said anything.
All right. This time,
we will check out the special talent of Square's Dream.
Ever since he was little, Square's Dream...
has received...
over 70 poetry awards.
Do we have evidence?
No? All right.
(Embarrassed)
It'll appear on the screens when the show airs.
Let's take a look at the evidence together.
He's received numerous awards.
He's amazing.
On top of being a good singer,
he also has...
remarkable literary talent.
(He's won over 70 poetry awards.)
He wrote a poem for the King of Mask Singer.
Could you recite the poem?
Do I need to recite the poem in this voice?
- Yes. I'm sorry about this. - It won't be the same.
It would sound better, if you recite it in your own voice.
- You know what? - Go on.
The poem's content is more important than the speaker's voice.
He's right. Please recite your poem.
Get ready and please turn on some background music.
The title, "Flying up into the Sky."
You are not afraid of silence.
So you stay awake even in the darkness.
You are the pioneer who is always a step ahead of everyone else.
Your singing...
opens the eyes and ears of the world.
You flap your wings with all your might...
to fly up into the sky.
- The end. - Thank you.
Flap your wings with all your might, I see.
The title was "Flying up into the Sky."
I would just like to ask,
can't you show us something funny?
- Pardon? - We want to be entertained.
- He is a critically acclaimed poet. - I see.
You should ask Singing Geek to do something funny.
Can you make an acrostic poem?
An acrostic poem? I'll give it a try.
He will try. Please turn on some background music.
- Please go ahead. - Well...
- The title is "Lung Capacity". - Lung capacity.
I...
I only caused you trouble
- I only caused you trouble - That's not bad.
- R... - R...
Runaway, that's what I thought my life would be like.
- Oh, he's doing fine. - That's good.
He thought he would be running away all his life.
The next line will be a little more challenging.
- F... - F...
Failure. I failed to show my talent.
I shouldn't have given it a try. I'm sorry.
- He was good. - It was a good try.
- It was funny. - Yes.
Muzie, you are a singer-songwriter.
Does any of your colleagues come to mind?
When Square's Dream...
called out to his mother,
I got an impression that...
his mother lives far away.
So I think he might be the singer Eru...
who has been working abroad for quite some time.
Are you saying Tae Jin Ah is dead?
- You're right. - What nonsense.
- I didn't think of that. - What's wrong with you?
- What's wrong with him today? - Okay.
Eru's father is alive.
Tae Jin Ah is still alive.
- That's true. - I forgot about his father.
It's not easy to guess who he is.
Now we'll see who will advance to Round Three.
Between these two masked singers,
who will advance...
to Round Three?
(Tune, tone, rhythm, sensibility and technique,)
(he has it all.)
(He shows us breathing is also part of singing.)
(Square's Dream sings with a sorrowful voice.)
The winner of this match is...
The winner is...
(King of Mask Singer)
Oh my.
(Go Singing Geek!)
(Go Square's Dream!)
- Goodness! - It's a really close match.
(Hearts pounding)
(The audience is nervous.)
(They nervously wait for the results.)
(Who will be the winner?)
(The winner is...)
The winner is...
Square's Dream.
(Square's Dream won.)
(Square's Dream)
(Sorrow versus joy)
(Sadness versus happiness)
(Relieved)
(He feels bad for Singing Geek.)
Square's Dream defeated Singing Geek.
He's going to the next round.
The score was 54 to 45.
Congratulations. Please move to the backstage.
(The identity of Singing Geek will be revealed.)
Square's Dream is moving on to Round Three.
(I can't believe I won!)
I feel weird. I didn't think I would win.
Who is this masked singer...
with such a sweet voice?
We'll reveal his identity now.
Please remove your mask...
and show us who you are.
He has a powerful voice.
It's an incredibly powerful voice.
If Kim Kwang Seok had been still alive...
and had sung on this stage,
he would've sung it the same way.
Kim Dong Myung crossed my mind.
Please remove the mask and show us who you are.
(Wow!)
(Everyone is surprised.)
Why? Who is he?
He must be really famous.
Please remove your mask...
and show us who you are.
He is...
- Kim Yong Jun of SG Wannabe. - Hello.
(Unbelievable!)
(They gasp.)
(Incredible!)
(You are the best!)
(I can't believe it was you!)
Hello. Nice to meet you.
(SG Wannabe is a beloved vocal group.)
(SG Wannabe's member, Kim Yong Jun)
(He has just recently completed his army service not long ago.)
(He's returned and he is ready to perform again.)
(The owner of the sweet voice was Kim Yong Jun.)
None of our panellists mentioned his name.
The other member of SG Wannabe, Lee Seok Hoon and Kim Jin Ho...
have performed alone before.
But I don't think we have seen you...
singing alone.
It's been 12 years since I made my debut.
I haven't done a solo performance on television before.
So I came on this show to let you hear my voice.
SG Wannabe is famous...
for its soulful singing technique.
They sing like this, "I love you."
Their voices are usually thick and deep.
And we heard his solo singing today.
Hyung Seok, what did you think?
When you listen to a violin, viola and cello together,
- you can't really hear the viola. - I see.
But without the viola, everything falls apart.
- You can't produce beautiful music. - I see.
Which means the role of a viola is crucial.
So I think he is the viola in his team.
I really enjoyed your performance.
He produced the sound from his head, chest,
nose and stomach.
He has perfect control.
He is a technically gifted singer.
- Okay. - He is a talented singer.
Also before, when I suddenly asked him...
to make an acrostic poem,
- he made us all laugh. - He is talented.
- He was witty and funny. - Thank you.
I didn't appear on many variety shows.
So I didn't have many opportunities to show people who I am.
But today, I even had the chance to make a poem for you.
- It was enjoyable. - I see.
If you have large lungs, you should go on "Let's Go! Dream Team".
("Let's Go! Dream Team" will be perfect for you.)
It will be perfect for you.
I'll see you next time on "Let's Go! Dream Team".
We hope to see you more often on variety shows.
Through today's performance,
the audience here today will never forget his voice again.
Please give him a round of applause.
(We'll look forward to your new songs.)
(We'll cheer for you!)
That was Kim Yong Jun.
(Relieved)
(He says thank you to everyone.)
SG Wannabe is a very important...
part of my life.
The group shaped me into the singer I am today.
I receive a lot of love as a member of the group.
I'll remain as a member of SG Wannabe forever.
The happiest moment as a singer...
is when people remember my songs.
I want to be a singer whose songs are loved forever...
and whose songs people don't get tired of.
(We hope you'll continue to be a singer who moves our hearts.)
In Round Two,
Angled Life Square's Dream defeated Kim Yong Jun...
and advanced to Round Three.
Let's continue the matches in Round Two, the Semi-finals.
We're starting the second match of Round Two now.
(The second match is starting now.)
The second match of Round Two, the Semi-finals.
He defeated the dancer Park Ji Woo.
He marches to victory, the Music Commander In My Town.
(The Music Commander In My Town)
(He is confident.)
(Challenge me if you dare!)
(He is fabulous!)
Who on earth is he?
His body shape reminds me of Kim Bum Soo.
Kim Bum Soo is shorter.
(He has a refreshing voice.)
(He sang the high notes comfortably in Round One.)
He is a tremendously gifted singer.
He can produce high notes very comfortably.
I don't know whether he is male or female.
I think she is a female singer.
What are they doing?
Defend yourself. You need to defend yourself.
(He exudes confidence.)
(Everyone wants to know who he is.)
I think he's going to surprise us.
(He's going to surprise us.)
(What song will he sing?)
("Freshwater Eel's Dream" by Shin Hae Chul)
(The song became famous after Shin Hae Chul said...)
(this song will be the epitaph on his tombstone.)
(We hear his resonant voice...)
(even when he sings in a whisper.)
(His warm voice embraces everyone.)
(His voice reminds us of Shin Hae Chul.)
(Wow.)
Who is he?
- Who is it? - I don't know.
(His song has overwhelmed the panellists and even his competitor.)
His voice gives me goosebumps.
(His voice stirs up the emotions inside of us.)
(A strong and heavy performance that shows us the power of music.)
He's driving me insane. This isn't fair.
- My goodness. - Who is he?
- He's a strong candidate. - Wow.
(Even the experts are awestruck.)
(He starts marching all of a sudden.)
- Is he trying to be funny? - Is he bipolar?
Going up against the Music Commander,
this singer defeated Wendy of Red Velvet.
The voice that will strike a chord with the audience.
It's Finding Mum Tetsuro.
(Finding Mum Tetsuro)
(We thought he would be lonely without his mum, but...)
(I'm free from my mum's nagging.)
(Everyone is cheering for him without knowing his mind.)
I'm looking forward to his performance.
He is a really likeable character.
He looks like Yook Joong Wan.
(He looks like Yook Joong Wan.)
(He has a clear and powerful voice.)
I think he might be a musical actor.
(On top of his surprising dancing skills,)
(he also knows how to improvise.)
(He is extremely talented,)
(but we still don't know who he is.)
(Will his performance give us a hint?)
("While Looking At Your Picture" by Vibe)
He's a professional singer.
(His husky voice has gotten thicker...)
(than when he sang in Round One.)
(He's going to be tough to beat.)
(Who could it be?)
(His comforting voice...)
(makes you want to sing along.)
His husky voice is really attractive.
(Tetsuro has captivated the audience.)
(Everyone's forgotten about the Music Commander.)
(Who is he?)
(It's a beautiful song.)
Wow.
(The panellists are in awe.)
Wow.
He has such an enchanting voice.
He has a really nice tone.
(His warm gentle voice melts the panellists' hearts.)
(The panellists are still entranced by the last note of the song.)
His voice is amazing.
I think I can understand a man's sorrow today.
We're happy, not sad.
(We're happy not sad.)
The second match of Round Two is now over.
Both singers sang emotional ballads...
that mainly appeal to our feelings.
It's a tough choice.
Who will be the winner of this match...
and move on to the next round?
All the votes are in.
Kim Hyun Cheol hasn't been able to close his mouth.
It seems you were very impressed.
That's because of what I said last week.
Hyung Seok and I said Music Commander is a woman.
I know.
Kim Hyun Cheol seemed pretty sure.
And Kim Hyung Seok said Music Commander could be a woman.
- He agreed with me. - Yes.
I'm very sorry.
He sang "Freshwater Eel's Dream" of Shin Hae Chul.
I bet Music Commander decided...
to be a musician because of Shin Hae Chul.
He looked like Shin Hae Chul when he sang the song.
Do you think he is influenced by Shin Hae Chul?
I'm sure he is influenced.
His bending timing and even pronunciation sound like him.
And he sang low note pressing his neck just like him.
It felt like as if I was watching Shin Hae Chul singing on the stage.
By the way, when you came on and went down the stage,
why did you do that?
Why did you try to look funny?
(Floundering)
- You can answer him. - He's saying he's a soldier.
Yes, I am wearing the soldier costume.
So I wanted to look imposing.
It was like the situation that Kim Gun Mo singing...
"Red Lipstick" at "I Am A Singer".
(After showing a great performance,)
(he ruined the mood.)
Why did he do that?
He just tried to be faithful to his costume.
And I love Tetsuro's voice.
When he sang the introduction,
I heard 2 or 3 different voices of him.
(His voice was soft and husky at the same time.)
He could make 2 or 3 different voices when he sang...
because he's got an amazing tone.
But I also thought he might not be a singer...
because of his gestures.
He picked up the microphone to get ready...
even before the song starts.
Singers usually pick up a microphone right before their song starts.
(The song hasn't even started yet.)
While looking at your picture
It means he was very nervous.
So I think he is not a singer who is as good as a singer.
Hyun Cheol just pointed out his gestures with a microphone.
Singers usually keep their hands down when they are not singing.
But we usually put a microphone on the chin all the time.
We are always ready to talk.
That's because we are afraid...
if we'd miss the time to talk.
So we fix a microphone here all the time.
- It's fixed. - You are always ready to talk.
We have to keep talking.
Based on those things,
I think he is not a singer.
When I heard Tetsuro's voice,
I thought he injured his vocal cords...
as he practised singing too much.
But he overcame the injury with constant practice...
and it sounded beautiful.
So I think he has been a singer for a long time.
- He is an experienced singer? - Yes. He's sung for a long time.
- I see. - When I heard his voice,
I thought he sounded like Young Jun of Brown Eyed Soul.
He's got a similar tone with him.
(Young Jun's voice sounds soft and husky at the same time.)
There are not many people who has such a voice.
Jang Hyuk, what do you think?
When Tetsuro sang, I felt something like...
- butterfly effect. - Butterfly effect?
When he flapped his wings a little bit with a beautiful heart,
(Once his beautiful voice starts resounding,)
the flap of wings became waves...
and touched everyone's heart.
I'm sure he is an actor.
He couldn't do that unless he is an actor.
- You are saying he is an actor. - Yes.
But he is as good as a singer.
I see. But you think he is not a singer.
I'm not sure who I am.
- He just spoke in dialect. - It is Gyeongsang-do.
- It was Gyeongsang-do dialect. - He used to live in Gyeongsang-do.
- Did you hear that? - "I'm not sure who I am."
Did I?
- Okay! - Did I?
- I get it. - Who is he?
He is Ahn Se Ha of the drama, "She Was Pretty".
- An actor? - He used to be a singer.
You got it from his way of speaking?
What is happening all of a sudden?
(He spoke broad Gyeongsang-do dialect in the drama.)
What did you two do last night?
He used to be a trot singer.
There has been a heated discussion...
about the identity of Finding Mum Tetsuro.
And he says he can mimic...
the voices of many popular singers.
He will mimic Ha Dong Qn's voice first.
Okay, he starts with Ha Dong Qn.
What is he doing?
- What does that mean? - It is a little bit similar?
I see. It will be short.
He will sing for a short time.
You should listen carefully as it will be short.
Tetsuro, please sing Ha Dong Qn's song.
Butterfly
That's it.
Okay. He will mimic Song Kang Ho's voice this time.
He can mimic Song Kang Ho's voice in the movie, "Number 3".
It will be short. Please listen carefully.
Go ahead.
You...
That's it.
That was Song Kang Ho.
He is Ahn Se Ha.
Why would you say that?
I've seen him doing the same thing in another TV show.
- Really? - Yes.
This is a good thing about appearing on many programmes.
I meet many people in various TV programmes.
Is it true that a flyer on the utility pole...
changed your whole life?
See? He is startled.
He is embarrassed.
- You can't ask such questions. - What's wrong with it?
- He might have different opinions. - What opinions?
Gu Ra is pushing him into a corner.
Tetsuro, I wonder how do you think of Ahn Se Ha.
I think he is a good person.
(Look at him.)
He thinks he is a good person.
I got it right again.
You look pretty sure.
- He is Ahn Se Ha. - Okay.
By the way,
I have a favour to ask of Music Commander.
Can you sing any song of Freddie Mercury?
He says he is good at vocal mimicry.
He can mimic Pigsy and the sound of drinking beer.
He says he can imitate these sounds.
Can you do that?
Okay. Please show us Pigsy first.
Monkey!
I'm Pigsy.
That was Pigsy.
It is not that impressive...
as many people can do that.
Then, let's hear him mimicking the sound of drinking beer.
The sound of drinking beer.
(What is this?)
(It rather sounds like a seal.)
(Laughing)
It sounds like a seal.
It was like beer at first, but it became a seal later.
(He giggles.)
Can you mimic a seal drinking beer?
It must be funny.
- Can you do that? - I'm giving you a tip.
Please show us.
(Bursting into laughter)
You don't have to be so nervous.
Don't be nervous. Just do it.
It will be funny.
It was so close, though.
Oh, no.
It is time to announce the result of the second match of Round Two.
Amongst the two masked singers who showed impressive performances,
who will go on to Final Round to compete against Square's Dream?
We will unveil the result.
(He sounded like Shin Hae Chul.)
(Would Music Commander with deep emotional voice win?)
(He's got a voice that even experts would feel jealous of.)
(Would Tetsuro of soft and husky voice win?)
We have two male masked singers here.
Who will win the match and go on to Final Round?
The winner is...
Who is it?
(It is a match between sensibility and tone.)
(Who will be the winner?)
Who is the winner?
The winner is...
Music Commander.
Music Commander wins!
Music Commander!
It's Music Commander.
Music Commander wins.
I think he will be King of Mask Singer.
Music Commander looks happy.
Music Commander defeats Tesuro and goes on to Final Round.
It was 62 to 37.
Music Commander wins by a wide margin.
Please go back to the waiting room for the next round.
Please give him a round of applause.
(He looks excited.)
It feels great.
I will do my best for the next round.
Catgirl, wait for me!
Then who is the man with the beautiful voice?
Is he a singer or a man with a different job?
It is time to reveal his identity.
Finding Mum Tetsuro, please reveal your identity.
I think he is a musical actor.
He is a singer.
I'm sure he is an actor.
He is Ahn Se Ha of the drama, "She Was Pretty".
He sounded like Young Jun of Brown Eyed Soul.
Please take off your mask...
and reveal your identity.
Who could he be?
(Wow)
He is...
(Why are people laughing?)
Who could he be?
- What is it? - He is...
He is...
- Is it Ahn Se Ha? - No. Why are you laughing?
Why are you laughing?
Please reveal your identity.
Who could he be?
He is...
Ahn Se Ha from the TV drama, "She Was Pretty".
I told you! It's Ahn Se Ha.
I told you.
I told you. It's Ahn Se Ha.
- It's Ahn Se Ha. - Gu Ra's guess was correct.
(He looks happier than when he won the Grand Award.)
I told you. It's Ahn Se Ha.
Gu Ra guessed correctly thanks to his experience.
Let's hear from Ahn Se Ha now.
Please say hello to the viewers.
Hello, I'm an actor.
My name is Ahn Se Ha. Nice to meet you.
(Why did he stammer?)
- Give it to me. - It's expired, though.
Is that so?
It will be tastier then.
(He's becoming well-known as an actor.)
I saw an advertisement for an audition.
- They told me that I passed. - Okay.
(He debuted as a trot singer.)
(He has also acted in musicals and plays.)
I'm the vice president of Jinsung Magazine,
Kim Pung Ho.
We gave him a mask to wear,
but we thought it revealed too much.
Doesn't the mask resemble his face?
The mask was a hint.
He resembles Tetsuro more without the mask.
Gu Ra was the only one...
who guessed his identity.
Your hometown is in Gyeongnam Province.
Yes, I'm from Changwon.
You first moved to Seoul with a dream of becoming a singer.
- That's right. - Was it hard to become a singer?
As you can guess from my face,
it was hard.
You think it's because of your face.
No, that's part of the reason.
I realised I wasn't talented...
enough to succeed as a singer.
Like I said before,
I was very surprised to hear that you aren't a singer.
- You could be a singer. - That's right.
Who do you think...
would enjoy seeing you on the stage the most?
That would be my parents.
When I first came to Seoul,
my father dropped me off at Daehakno and said,
"It's hard watching my only child struggles."
After seeing him cry, I was determined to succeed.
So I didn't go back to my hometown for two years.
I wanted to become someone.
I wanted to be something.
You said your parents worried about you a lot.
We will give you a moment to send them a video message.
- Okay. Thank you. - Good.
Mum and Dad, are you watching this?
It's a pretty big stage, right?
People from all over the nation are watching this.
I sang on a big stage.
My goodness, why do I feel emotional?
Anyway Mum and Dad, I love you.
I'm doing well, so don't worry about me.
It's popular to make a heart like this. I love you.
- All right. - Well done.
Ahn Se Ha.
His performance gave us an opportunity...
to know how attractive his voice is.
Please show your support for Ahn Se Ha...
- with a round of applause. - Thank you.
- Go, Ahn Se Ha! - Okay.
- Thank you for your hard work. - Ahn Se Ha!
(He looks embarrassed.)
Thank you. I think I really enjoyed on the stage.
That's what I personally think.
I was so nervous.
Right now, I'm in a daze.
It was very nice.
When I looked into the eyes of the audience,
I could tell whether I had poured all my energies on the stage...
or not.
But today, when I finished singing,
I could feel their appreciation.
Hearing them applaud...
made me feel proud.
It's a good thing that I stayed in Seoul.
It's a good thing that I chose this profession.
Those thoughts crossed my mind.
(Today's stage was compensation for all his past struggles.)
Music Commander In My Town defeated Ahn Se Ha...
and moves on to Round Three.
The legend with five consecutive wins, Catgirl...
will compete against one of the remaining masked singers.
We will invite the two male masked singers to the stage.
Please welcome them with a round of applause.
(Square's Dream versus Music Commander)
(He marches to the stage.)
(He gently waves to the audience.)
All right.
Let's hear how they feel about making it to Round Three.
- I thought I would be sent home. - I see.
Because I let my emotions affect my performance...
and I felt that I could have done better.
I would like to thank the audience for appreciating...
- my sentimentality. - All right.
Music Commander, how does it feel to compete in Round Three?
My goal was to go home...
after singing all three songs that I have prepared.
I'm very happy that my wish came true.
But having made it this far,
I now want to sit on that throne.
I see. You made it this far, after all.
I will use all my organs...
- Did you say organs? - and soul...
- Your soul? - to sing.
- All right. - The current king, Catgirl...
has sat on the throne for 10 weeks.
If you have something you want to say to them,
this is your chance.
Well... Good luck.
(She is scary.)
All right.
It was a short but strong message.
She will confidently take on anyone who challenges her.
Now,
we will begin the Final Round.
Let's start by listening to...
Angled Life Square's Dream.
I think he will sing a ballad song.
I'm feeling nervous.
(Square's Dream uses sentimentality as his weapon.)
(Will he be able to move the panellists once again?)
(Good luck.)
("Rain" by Lee Juck)
(Is he already crying?)
(His song choice is the epitome of sentimentality.)
(Every note is filled with emotions.)
(Wow)
(He even moved the brusque Gu Ra.)
(His song and stage manner appeal to the audience.)
(It feels like they are listening to a captivating autobiography.)
(His sentimentality is like the rain. It drenches you to the bone.)
(The panellists' hearts are drenched in the rain.)
- That's a very difficult song. - He has a nice voice.
He is good.
That was...
emotionally exhausting.
His opponent is the one...
who defeated the dancer Park Ji Woo and the actor Ahn Se Ha.
He aspires to conquer the stage.
It's the Music Commander In My Town.
(Music Commander In My Town)
(His presence is overwhelming.)
- He's swinging his arms again. - He has tenacity.
- I'm curious. - We'll see his real ability now.
(He could still be hiding something?)
(The song of Square's Dream is still lingering in people's minds.)
(How will he win their minds over?)
("Lazenca, Save Us" be N.EX.T)
(The powerful rock music awakens all of our senses.)
(He opens his performance with a powerful shout.)
(He attacks their eardrums.)
(He confidently throws his hat into the ring.)
(This is a new side to him we haven't seen.)
(The audience goes wild.)
(The panellists stand up and cheer him on.)
(Follow me, everybody!)
(He is like a real commander.)
(His body moves to the beat.)
(His fingers are dancing, too.)
(The stage is overflowing with energy.)
Wow, he is amazing.
(He passionately sings from the bottom of his heart.)
(He sings with the voice of a stern dictator.)
(He sounds like a courageous warrior.)
(He shows a wide spectrum of voices.)
(He pours everything that he has into his performance.)
(The people pledge their loyalty to the Commander.)
(He has turned the tide to his favour.)
(He is now the commander of all towns.)
(The panel is still in a state of shock.)
- Oh, yes! - Wow!
- What just happened? - What was that?
(They are speechless.)
He's wonderful. Who in the world is he?
- I don't know. - I don't know.
- It doesn't matter who he is. - It really doesn't.
(I got goosebumps.)
Round Three, the Final Round.
We saw the performances given by these two masked singers.
Between these two singers,
who do you think...
should be the candidate for the King of Mask Singer?
Please vote for the masked singer...
that you want to listen to again?
All votes are in.
I wonder what the current King of Mask Singer, Catgirl...
thinks about these two contenders.
Would you like to comment on their performances?
(She gives them a thumbs up.)
(Thumbs up)
She gives them a thumbs up. She didn't need to say a word.
Catgirl is now going to get ready for the Final Match.
She'll move to the backstage. Please give her a big hand.
(She is going for her sixth win.)
We'll listen to the comments of the panellists.
Young Seok, will you go first?
First of all, I really liked Square's Dream's song.
The song he sang is not a conventional one...
that develops slowly...
and moves towards the climax.
It has a lot of ups and downs. It is like the blues type of song.
When you sing the blues,
it's not easy to move people emotionally.
The singer has to have almost perfect techniques.
He sang the song perfectly...
in his own style.
- He was perfect. - Okay.
The Music Commander is not only the leader of his town.
He's become the music commander for the whole country.
- For the whole country? - He was unbelievable.
(He has conquered the whole country.)
And he chose a genre that Catgirl is not capable of singing.
Oh, I see.
The song is a genuine rock song...
- that says, "Rock will never die." - Okay.
With this type of songs,
he could be a be a match for Catgirl.
But the most incredible thing is that he showed us...
three different styles throughout the three rounds.
I can't believe he was able to show us a new side in every round.
It's like he's the army, navy and air force all at once.
(He calmly sings as if he is running across the plain.)
(He never shows us full range.)
(He shows us a deep resonating voice from the depth of the sea.)
(His songs touch our hearts.)
(He shows high notes that shakes the stage.)
(The high notes feel like bombs assaulting the audience's ears.)
He is fantastic.
Young Seok thinks the Music Commander's...
song selections were strategically brilliant.
What did you think Hyung Seok?
Square's Dream sang Lee Juck's song.
Lee Juck...
is a singer-songwriter with a distinct colour.
It's difficult for others to sing his songs...
whilst keeping your own colour.
But he sang the song very well.
If I use a baseball analogy,
his singing feels like a fast ball.
It's direct and powerful.
I'm sure he's a great singer.
As for Music Commander,
his two previous performances were a feint.
That's my opinion.
His performance made us feel excited.
Especially when he shouts,
he can sing either with a clear tone or change to a rougher tone.
He has amazing control and technically flawless.
- He is a great singer. - I see.
I can't wait to see his next performance.
After Round One and Two,
The Music Commander showed us another side we didn't expect.
Yoon Seok, are you okay?
- You look dazed. - He went crazy a while ago.
What is this? Is this "We Will Rock You"?
What's this?
(He begins banging his head.)
(The opening noted has him going wild.)
(He is thrilled.)
He's the king of rock.
Lazenca, save us
I can't believe this. I'm totally exhausted.
Oh my gosh.
After testing my lung capacity by singing along to "Lazenca, Save Us",
- I thought I was about to pass out. - I see.
I liked...
the Square's Dream the most,
when he sang the part "I miss you" without any accompaniment.
That part was really beautiful.
His voice is thicker than Park Sang Min's...
and thinner than Kim Jung Min's.
- Do you know Lee Nam E? - Lee Nam E.
He knows how to make you feel the emotions through the songs.
- His hit song was "Want to Cry". - He has the same ability.
He can sing like him.
When Music Commander sings in high notes, his voice is...
thinner than Kim Kyung Ho but thicker than Kim Jong Seo.
On top of that voice, he has the spirit of Shin Hae Chul.
It's not just about shouting the high notes,
his sang it like a rock star.
I've never thought I would hear...
a live performance of "Lazenca, Save Us" on this show.
- I think I am lucky and thank you. - All right.
What did our female panellists think? Sae Rom, can you tell us?
When I first listened to Square's Dream's song,
it felt like...
he knows how to control people's mind.
He's also the first man who made me cry...
on King of Mask Singer.
When Mr. Square's Dream sings,
there must be a fantasy world that you imagine, right?
I keep wanting to put myself in that world.
I thought he must be a singer who can toy with my emotions.
Speaking as a woman,
Square's Dream's voice is a bit...
more attractive to women.
Now, I will announce the results...
for the Semi-final match of Round Three.
We will now see who will move on to the next round...
and compete to be the 22nd King of Mask Singer.
Who will be the winner of this match?
(He knows how to control his audience's emotion.)
(A performance where he sang his own story)
(Singing about life with his sensibility, Square's Dream)
(By contrast, Music Commander's performance was full of power.)
(His thunder-like high notes gave everyone goosebumps.)
(Music Commander, who showed us the quintessence of rock music)
The winner of this match,
the singer who will compete against Catgirl...
is...
(Nervous)
(Groaning)
(It is so tense they can't help but make owl-like noises.)
Sensitivity versus charisma.
(Who is the singer that they hope will win?)
Sensitivity versus charisma.
Charisma and sensitivity.
The singer who will compete in the final match is...
Music Commander has won.
Of course, Music Commander. Of course.
(Relief)
(Of course, Music Commander)
(The female panellists seem to be rather disappointed.)
Music Commander beats Square's Dream...
and moves on to the final round.
The result is...
(Why are they all so shocked?)
It was 91 against 8 votes.
The number of 91 is the most votes anyone has gotten in Round Three...
in the history of King of Mask Singer.
That is a lot of votes.
Now you may move backstage and see the King of Mask Singer perform.
Please give him a round of applause.
Music Commander moves on to the final round.
(To where will he go with his endless energy?)
As the audience's reaction was...
much better than I had expected,
I felt very good, too.
Who is Angled Life Square's Dream?
We will now find out.
Please come to the back of the stage.
Angled Life Square's Dream,
please take off your mask...
and show us who you are.
I think he's a singer who was active in the 80s.
He knows how to squeeze out all of his emotions,
and that makes him similar to Lee Nam E.
I'm wondering if it's Cho Yong Pil.
- Cho Yong Pil? - Yes.
The celebrity Lim Hyung Joon.
JUN. K from 2PM.
It could be Eru.
It's him!
This is...
- Who is it? - Who is he?
It's him!
Someone was right.
Who is it?
- Who was right? - He's young.
Someone guessed right?
This is...
(He slowly turns around.)
JUN. K of 2PM.
- He was right. - Okay.
(Yuk Seong Jae is right again.)
(Nice to meet you!)
He was right.
- He's good. - Hello.
(Seong Jae proved that he has a great hunch.)
Hello, I'm JUN. K. Nice to meet you.
(Korea's first acrobatics idol group, 2PM)
(Earning their "beast idol" title with the song "Heart beat",)
(he became one of Korea's top idol singers.)
(Whilst continuing their domestic career,)
(2PM has also taken over Japan's Oricon Singles Chart.)
(They sold all their tickets for the Budokan Concert one minute.)
(JUN. K of 2PM is here at King of Mask Singer.)
- Yuk Seong Jae guessed right again. - Right.
Hello.
With his sixth sense.
- I was surprised. - When Seong Jae guessed it was you?
Yes, I was surprised when he said Jun Su from 2PM.
- My name has changed to JUN. K. - Right.
It's been three years since my name changed. I was surprised.
- It's alright, though. - So you were more surprised that...
- people still call you Jun Su. - Right.
JUN. K wrote that the reason he came out on King of Mask Singer...
was that he wanted to let his name and voice known.
I've always felt bad about changing one's name once you're famous.
But my dad passed away whilst...
telling me repeatedly to change my name,
and my mum also became a little ill afterwards.
So I couldn't change my name.
Your mother is a little ill?
A little while ago, I had a solo tour concert in Japan,
but my mum couldn't come because...
she couldn't ride on a plane.
So I thought it would be nice if...
my mom could hear my voice and recover quickly.
That's why I chose to sing the song "Mother" in Round Two.
I became very emotional whilst I was singing.
- I was a little... - Right.
I felt bad seeing you lower your head during Round Two.
Yu Young Seok, are you about to cry?
(Tearing up)
I think all that is happening to JUN. K is...
adding more depth to his music and singing.
- Thank you. - If he is to live as a musician,
I think he can show us these amazing performances...
because he has overcome all those hardships.
He came thus far with a series of very hard songs.
I want to applaud him.
Thank you.
He is a good, dedicated son who...
changed his name because he thought...
his father's death and mother's illness...
were all his fault.
I hope you would take a load off your mind.
If there's anything you want to say, please go ahead.
First of all, thank you for letting me come out on this show.
I promise I will try my best to take good care...
of my mum and brother as the head of our household.
Please wait and see how I do.
I love you all.
Oh, one more thing.
I will carry on my career as JUN. K.
Okay.
- Thank you. - Good luck!
Thank you.
(Please carry on until the day everyone knows your name.)
(He says goodbye to his mask with a relieved face.)
Thank you.
Aren't 91 to 8 votes way too much?
My goodness.
I'm more embarrassed than not making it to Round Three.
This is so embarrassing.
I think today, because I was focusing so hard on the lyrics,
I felt like I actually told the audience a story...
rather than sing for them.
That made me become so emotional that...
even after I was done singing. I couldn't stop crying easily.
I felt happy because I felt understood.
It's because I thought the audience really...
listened to my story.
My mum probably doesn't know that I am here.
She must be watching me on television.
Thank you for leading me to the right path...
so I can realise my dream.
Meeting you as my mother...
is the best thing...
that happened to me in my life.
I love you, Mum.
My gosh.
In Round Three, Music Commander In My Town...
beats JUN. K and moves on to the Final Round.
The mysterious music show, King of Mask Singer.
We now have only Catgirl's final King of Mask Singer performance.
A legendary singer who can have both an emotional appeal and charisma.
Which song will Catgirl sing...
to aim for her sixth victory?
We will now begin the King of Mask Singer's performance.
(Welcome, King of Mask Singer.)
The 22nd Final Match.
Now she dares to win for the sixth time.
Her challenge will go on to make another legend.
The 21st King of Mask Singer. Female Warrior Catgirl.
(She looks perfect on her golden mask.)
(Please take me, Catgirl.)
(Charismatic)
(Wow)
Wow.
She's gorgeous.
I think she's trying to be feminine today.
I can't wait.
(She grabs everyone's attention just by her appearance.)
(The undefeated King of Mask Singer, Catgirl)
(Will there be a singer to put a stop to her continued victory?)
("The Veiled Path" by Yu Jae Ha)
(This is beautiful.)
(She sounds different than before.)
(He's been entranced by her voice already.)
(The calmness in her voice feels like...)
(it has the devastating power of an emotional hurricane.)
(He is choked with emotion.)
(The song takes his breath away.)
(Impressed)
(She always gives a powerful and energetic performance.)
(But she focuses only using on her voice today.)
(Catgirl showed us another side.)
(They didn't know she could sing such a sentimental song so well.)
(They are mesmerised by her voice.)
It was very touching.
It was such a serene performance.
The Final Match is finally over.
It's time to make your mind up.
Press one for Music Commander In My Town.
Press two for Female Warrior Catgirl.
Who will be the 22nd King of Mask Singer?
Please press your button for the masked singer...
who touched your heart.
(With the votes of the 99 panellists)
Will Catgirl win again and set a new record?
Will she win for the sixth straight time?
Or will the Music Commander become the new winner...
and create a new history as the new King of Mask Singer?
Sae Rom, please press your button.
(Frustrated)
Hyun Cheol, please press your button, too.
All votes are finally in.
Who will be the 22nd King of Mask Singer?
I saw Young Seok wiping away his tears.
Young Seok, what did you think...
- about the Final Match? - Did you cry?
I can't believe this.
It is okay to cry...
after listening to this song.
(It's okay to cry.)
(Gu Ra doesn't understand him.)
When I heard the Music Commander singing with...
his great voice and perfect singing skills,
I felt as if I was flying through the clouds and...
standing on top of a mountain.
- Okay. - But when I heard Catgirl's song,
I felt like I was sitting...
on a quiet and long beach looking out at the open ocean.
It is a match between the mountain and the sea.
Both of them have got...
- a great voice and vocal cords. - Okay.
And they are both able to convey emotions.
I'd like to thank both of them...
for their great performances.
- Kim Seong Ju. - Yes.
I think Catgirl is an amazing singer...
and she's also very smart.
If Catgirl sang a song...
which is very exciting and dynamic...
like she had done before,
I would have voted for the Music Commander without hesitation.
But she showed us a new side.
Tonight, she sang from the heart.
He sang with her emotion. It was touching.
Jang Hyuk, what did you think?
I was defeated by Catgirl exactly 10 weeks ago.
It's been 10 weeks already.
Time flies.
The one who lost is...
Sweet Vocal Cricket.
(Jang Hyuk was defeated by Catgirl in the Final Match.)
I want to thank her for winning...
five consecutive times.
I'd have been embarrassed...
if you had lost the next week.
- Okay. - Right?
You mean she's better than you?
- Yes. - He bears a grudge.
He still holds a grudge.
- I'm just showing my appreciation. - Okay.
And Music Commander is a true rock star.
The performance made me literally feel as if...
I had been hit in the head by a falling piece of rock.
It was amazing.
The Music Commander, I think...
your voice is perfect for a festival stage.
It is not suitable for a studio stage.
He needs to sing in the open air...
in front of hundreds of people.
He's got a voice that captures people's hearts.
It was as strong as thunder and lightning.
Meanwhile, Catgirl's voice was like sunshine...
which thaws the ice.
I was just happy to be able to watch both their performances...
no matter who the winner is.
Kim Hyung Seok, what did you think?
When I heard "The Veiled Path" sung by Catgirl,
I remembered the performances that she has shown us up to this point.
(Catgirl showed us powerful and energetic performances.)
(She gave us great performances with her outstanding singing skills.)
(She deserved to be King of Mask Singer.)
It was intense and explosive.
I could tell...
she was giving it her all.
The song "The Veiled Path" is...
about choices and loneliness.
I thought it expressed what she has been though.
I could read her feelings through the song.
Yuk Seong Jae, what did you think?
I feel tired and exhausted right now.
When Music Commander sang a rock song,
I got tired because I was dancing to the music.
But when Catgirl sang,
despite all the people and audience sitting here,
it felt like she was singing for me.
- Okay. - So it made me feel tense.
I couldn't even move because I didn't want to interrupt.
- That's how I felt. - Okay.
- So I'm really exhausted. - I see.
It is time to decide the 22th King of Mask Singer.
I just received the result now.
If Catgirl who is the current King wins again,
she will extend her winning streak to six matches.
If Music Commander wins,
he will be the first male...
King of Mask Singer...
in 28 weeks since Lee Jung won.
That's amazing.
It has been 28 weeks...
which means it has been half a year.
Then will Music Commander become...
the male King of Mask Singer for the first time in six months?
Or will Catgirl...
set a new record of six consecutive wins?
The 22nd King of Mask Singer.
We will announce the 22nd King of Mask Singer...
who was chosen by the audience.
(We will announce the winner now!)
(He hid his true ability in Round One when he sang a duet.)
(Then he showed off his emotional range in Round Two.)
(And finally he dominated the whole stage in the Final Round.)
(She sang from the heart today.)
(Catgirl sang showing us her emotional range.)
Who will be the 22nd King of Mask Singer?
The winner is...
(King of Mask Singer)
Who will be the 22nd King of Mask Singer and take the throne?
The 22nd King of Mask Singer chosen by the audience...
will be revealed now.
(The King will be revealed now.)
Who did the audience choose to be the next King of Mask Singer?
It was a match between Music Commander and Catgirl.
The 22nd King of Mask Singer...
is...
(King of Mask Singer)
(I can't watch.)
Who is it?
(Screaming)
The result is...
(Will Catgirl take her sixth win?)
(Will there be a male king for the first time in six months?)
(In either case,)
(this match will be reminded as a legend.)
Will Catgirl take her sixth win?
Or will there be a male king?
The result is...
(King of Mask Singer)
(Music Commander won.)
Music Commander won.
Now he is a male king!
(We have a new king.)
He won!
(Unbelievable)
(We have a new king after 10 weeks.)
Now he is a male king!
It has been 28 weeks...
since we had a male king.
A male singer became the King of Mask Singer.
The final score was 77 to 22.
With an overwhelming victory,
The Music Commander becomes the male King of Mask Singer.
He is presented with the golden mask and robe.
They have a new owner.
(The golden mask finds a new owner.)
(You look like royalty.)
Please tell us how you feel.
I think I only became the King of Mask Singer...
because the previous King...
bequeathed me the throne.
Thankfully,
it doesn't feel like I have taken the throne.
It feels like it has been bequeathed to me. Thank you.
(It feels like it has been bequeathed to me. Thank you.)
He felt like Catgirl bequeathed him the throne.
The 22nd King of Mask Singer, Music Commander.
Please exit the stage after the march.
Please congratulate him with a round of applause.
(Bowing)
He showed us his range through three contrasting songs,
The Music Commander captured the hearts of the audience.
He has become the 22nd King of Mask Singer.
(He's not used to wearing the golden mask.)
Thank you. I really did want...
to sit on that throne.
I don't know if I will be able to defend the title, though.
Now that I took the throne, I will do my best...
to show you even more through my performances.
(Thank you, panellists.)
(See you again, King of Mask Singer.)
Having five consecutive wins is a record on King of Mask Singer.
And Catgirl made history with that record.
Who could she be? Her identity will be revealed now.
Please come to the back of the stage.
(Female Warrior Catgirl's identity will be revealed now.)
(Catgirl always showed us a different side of her.)
(Sometimes, her performance was like a musical.)
(She sang heart-wrenching ballads.)
(Catgirl pulled off a powerful jazz song as well.)
The Female Warrior Catgirl,
please take off the mask and reveal your identity.
(She takes her mask off.)
(She took off the mask that she's been wearing for 10 weeks.)
- She took it off. - My goodness.
The Female Warrior Catgirl,
(She inspired awe for 10 weeks.)
please take off the mask and reveal your identity.
(Who is Catgirl?)
Let's find out who you are.
She is...
the diva of musical theatre, Cha Ji Yeon.
Hello.
Cha Ji Yeon.
Cha Ji Yeon was Catgirl.
- Hello. - All right.
(She is charismatic and a methodical actress.)
(She is the diva of musical theatre with a rich tone of voice.)
(She has appeared on "I Am a Singer" with Yim Jae Beum.)
(She drew attention with her performance of "Empty Glass".)
(She is an actress who has appeared in many dramas and movies.)
(She is a musical singer with 11 years of experience.)
(She commands the stage in each performance like a queen.)
(Cha Ji Yeon was Catgirl.)
It took us...
almost 12 weeks...
- Oh, my. - to finally see her face.
It feels strange.
- I feel like I'm naked. - I see.
I'm so happy. I wanted to greet everyone as myself.
- I feel great. Thank you. - Okay.
In the past 10 weeks,
many things have happened to Ji Yeon.
There was the biggest event in your life.
- Is that what we are talking about? - Yes.
It happened shortly after you became the king.
- I got married two weeks later. - That's right.
Two weeks after being made the King of Mask Singer,
- she got married. - Yes. So...
being made the king...
- was my wedding present. - That's right.
It was lovely.
You must have wanted to tell everyone at the wedding...
that you are the King of Mask Singer.
- She kept it a secret until now. - Yes.
I went from being a single king to a married king.
Gu Ra, please say a few words to Catgirl who held the throne...
for 10 weeks.
- You did a great job. - Thank you.
- I hope you enjoy married life. - Thank you.
- And treat your in-laws nicely. - Of course.
- Treat your parents nicely, too. - Okay.
This feels like the formal speech given at the wedding ceremony.
- You did an amazing job. - All right.
Young Seok should also say a few words,
since he always shed tears after watching her perform.
You showed us so many fantastic performances...
that my need to marvel at your ability kept me from crying.
I can't believe today is your last day on the show.
Thank you for touching our hearts with your songs.
- Thank you. - All right.
Are you a confident person in real life, too?
I have two sides. I can be confident.
I find it fortunate that the day I took off my mask...
was the day I showed my feminine side.
It's very fortunate. I showed my tough side the past few weeks.
So, my in-laws had the wrong impression about me.
Will my son be okay living with a wild woman like that?
They called often to check up on us, so I felt a bit bad.
I am an ordinary Korean woman.
I wonder if the record of five consecutive wins set by Ji Yeon...
will be broken in the future.
It's still the record.
As the diva of King of Mask Singer,
Cha Ji Yeon sang with all her might behind the mask for 10 weeks.
- Give her a round of applause. - Thank you.
- Thank you for your head work. - Thank you. Happy New Year.
- Good luck, Cha Ji Yeon! - Thank you.
- All right. - Thank you.
Thank you for your hard work.
My goodness.
(Nice)
(Ji Yeon looks relieved.)
I finally took off the mask.
So that's how it feels.
(At practice, the day before the shoot)
(Ji Yeon immerses herself in the sad song.)
(Actually)
(She shed tears whilst rehearsing for the performance.)
(The King of Mask Singer reveals a soft and sentimental side.)
(On the stage, she is a force of nature.)
(She is a charismatic warrior who sings without holding back.)
(Outside the stage)
(She takes a deep breath to try and calm down.)
(She brings her shaking hands together.)
(She is a delicate and warm-hearted woman.)
(The crown became a heavier burden with each victory.)
(The King of Mask Singer worried a lot.)
Hello.
- Let's begin. - Okay.
Hello.
(She always bows politely to each security guard.)
The security guards never talks to me.
My dream was to be a singer.
I attended countless auditions.
I tried every single agency.
I struggled to become a singer for a long time. But I couldn't be one.
(That was her beginning.)
(Exciting performance and deafening cheers)
(Cha Ji Yeon enjoyed being a singer as the King of Mask Singer.)
I felt like my dream had come true.
My performances were not all perfect.
But people loved and praised my singing.
I couldn't help but break into tears.
This is what I desperately wanted to do.
I took a long way...
to come here at last.
King of Mask Singer...
gave me...
confidence, which is the biggest weapon I can have.
It gave me that gift.
The show gave me...
so many presents.
