The mysterious music show, King of Mask Singer.
The legend of four consecutive victories marches forward.
The king of monstrous voice range.
Music Commander in My Town.
(Music Commander in My Town)
(Come and challenge me.)
And today,
we have eight new masked singers who will threaten his throne.
Tonight is going to be a crazy one.
You Know How to Dance.
(You Know How to Dance)
She really must know how to dance.
A voice of 20,000 leagues under the sea.
Welcome Ms Jeju.
(Welcome Ms Jeju)
I will save humanity with my voice.
Save the Planet.
The masks are getting fancier by the day.
He will try to be auctioned off at the highest price yet.
With You on a Meadow.
(With You on a Meadow)
He's a picture.
I will blossom flowers with my thriving voice.
Man in Flower.
It's magnolia.
How pretty.
I am here with the mission to take over the earth.
Space Agent Number Seven.
I will aim and shoot for the throne.
Crash-land of Love.
(Crash-land of Love)
He's a rocket.
I broke my eggshell and came here to be the King of Mask Singer.
Fly Little Chick.
- Don't you think he'll sing well? - Yes.
- Right? - Yes.
A fierce battle to become...
the 26th King of Mask Singer begins now.
The mysterious music show, King of Mask Singer.
It is the season of growth when spring flowers bloom beautifully.
The messengers of spring, our masked singers will...
make your heart flutter like spring with their voices.
The mysterious music show, King of Mask Singer.
I am the MC without stereotypes, Kim Seong Ju. It's nice to meet you.
(The MC without stereotypes, Kim Seong Ju)
(EXY of WJSN)
(Jo Jung Min)
We have Music Commander here,
who tied the record of four straight wins...
that Cleopatra and Cosmos made. He now seeks for...
his fifth victory.
Please say hello to the viewers first.
Hello, everyone.
I'm Music Commander in My Town.
(Excited)
Spring is around. How do you feel?
I'm wondering if you tend to get spring fever.
The season that I love is finally here.
But it feels sad...
not to be able to share the joy of being the King of Mask Singer.
To me, it's a spring of sorrow.
I understand. You will be able to enjoy it...
once you take off the mask.
So I'm thinking of taking it off around next spring.
- I see. - Look at him.
- He has "King of Singer fever". - Is it?
Yes, it is. Spring is just around the corner.
- It is a disease. - He sounds ambitious though.
As I gathered some public opinions,
these are what they say about his performance.
"Music Commander is beyond human limitations."
"It can't be human vocal cords".
Some people highly praise his singing skills. On the other hand,
"He is the most talkative King of Mask Singer of all time."
"He looks friendly and cute."
These are other opinions.
I know that I talk...
a lot and fast when I'm seating here.
I feel great.
I thought I would get to sing only three songs.
(Babbling)
(The king of mask singer talks non-stop.)
The reason I talk a lot here is...
because I have to stay here for 12 to 13 hours during the show.
- I know. - But this is the only chance...
to say something to you.
So I decided to talk very fast...
not to get my part cut from editing afterwards.
(He is cute.)
He talks without breathing.
He usually waits for more than 10 hours until Final Match.
But he doesn't get to talk that much during the time.
- Seong Ju. - Yes.
Seeing the king of mask singer today, I think he is in danger now.
You think? Why?
He has an important event ahead of him,
- but it doesn't feel so good. - Does he sound too light?
- Yes. - He says you are in a crisis.
You know what?
I have enough time to control my mind...
as I wait here for a long time.
You will have plenty of time to yourself.
You are seeking five straight wins today.
Do you think it will go well?
I am also looking forward to singing in Final Match.
I chose a song...
that matches spring.
- Is it a song about spring? - Yes.
- Okay. - Isn't it a Busker Busker's song?
You shouldn't sing "Cherry Blossom Ending".
- It's too popular. - He's kind of taken aback.
What song will he sing? Please stay tuned.
And we have beautiful guests...
who are as brilliant as spring today.
Even though we have many male guests here,
I'd say women outnumber men...
- with their beauty. - Okay.
She is the only idol expert in the country.
She is an MC of a programme for idols...
on a mobile TV channel.
She is an idol expert MC, Park So Hyun.
- Park So Hyun. - She knows everything about idols.
- I was surprised to see that. - She knows everything about them.
- I'll look forward to her role. - And we have another guest.
She captivated the male panellists' hearts as Rudolph.
She's just released a new song called "Superman".
She is the fairy of trot music, Jo Jung Min.
Jo Jung Min. It's nice to see you.
And there is a girl group of 12 members.
It is a Korean-Chinese project group.
She is a member of WJSN.
- Lexy! Oh, that's not it. - No, no.
- EXY! - EXY!
- EXY! EXY! EXY! - EXY! EXY! EXY!
- I'm sorry. - EXY.
- I'm sorry. - It's okay.
- EXY! EXY! - That's good.
(King of Mask Singer)
The first match of Round One.
Her colourful voice will fill the stage.
You Know How to Dance!
(You Know How to Dance)
(Mask designed by Hwang Jae Keun)
I will try to have fun like I used to.
(It's party time!)
(Everybody shout!)
- She is so slim. - Isn't she an idol singer?
Her opponent.
Her voice is a big catch from deep and clear sea.
Welcome Ms Jeju!
(Welcome Ms Jeju)
I will catch people's hearts, the way I catch fish in the sea.
(These are gifts from Jeju.)
(Catch!)
(It is a big fish!)
(This is for So Hyun.)
(They stand in the centre of the stage.)
(She takes off her robe.)
(Admiring)
- All I can hear is men's voices. - Only men's.
I thought it was sound of the waves.
(She has a good figure, too.)
Wow.
(Her clothes seem to suit her nickname today.)
Wow, today is the day.
(Both of them have good figures.)
(The two masked singers with different individuality)
(What will their performance be like?)
("Rough" by GFRIEND)
(She has an attractive and epicene voice.)
(She sounds stable.)
(She has a husky voice.)
(Ms Jeju sings in a low voice.)
(They sound different from the girlish version of GFRIEND.)
(Their performance has a scent of a lady.)
Hang on. Who are they?
(The male panellists are deep in their performance.)
(Ms Jeju sounds sexy.)
(The voice of How to Dance is very powerful and boyish.)
(They are amazing.)
(The two masked singers are showing a perfect duet.)
(They are captivating...)
(both men and women in the audience.)
(The new powerful and sexy "Rough")
(Thrilling!)
That was nice.
- Now, this is... - So Hyun.
Is this your first time to watch the performance live?
- It is 10 times better than on TV. - I know. It is amazing.
The first match of Round One is over.
Whose voice did you like better?
Please press the button...
for the masked singer you prefer.
Whose voice...
did the panellists like better?
All votes are in.
The masked singers will say hello to the viewers.
Hello.
I am You Know How to Dance.
All right.
She has disco balls on her head.
She must have many experiences in dancing.
Hello.
I am the young diver,
Welcome Mr Jeju.
- That's who I am. - All right.
There's something wrong with this mike.
All right. She is dressed like a diver.
What did you think of their performance?
Young Seok, mother of emotions. Let's start with you.
I think both masked singers received singing lessons.
You might know as you heard Ms Jeju's voice.
She has a husky voice that is trained with years of singing.
Anyone would be able to tell that she is a singer.
I see. So did both mask singers go through extensive trainings?
Yes, I think they are both young and trained.
They sound similar, but they have different styles of singing.
I think How to Dance...
may have majored in...
either trot or gugak.
She has a very good middle-range voice.
And Ms Jeju...
has a "theta" pronunciation.
- The "theta" pronunciation? - That's right.
- "Th". - "Th".
She has a very good pronunciation of "th".
- Is that so? - Yes.
I want to get closer to you, but our paths diverge
(Surprised)
I couldn't even tell you that I love you
"Th, th, th" was very good indeed.
- You are very observant. - Yes.
Let's ask the expert who can guess...
a masked singer's profession, age and illness...
with their breathing patterns. Cho Jang Hyuk,
have you analysed their breathing technique?
I could read their minds...
from the way they breathed during the performance.
- Their minds? - That's right.
What state of mind were they in?
You Know How to Dance...
is a singer.
She was thinking, "I must sing well since I am a singer."
So it resulted in clear-cut performance.
However, Welcome Ms Jeju...
is not a singer.
You don't think she is a singer.
(Is she not a singer?)
It seemed as if her voice...
was trained from reading lines in the profession of acting.
Jang Hyuk's opinion...
differs from those of Young Seok and Hyun Chul.
- We have three experts. - That's right.
- However, they get judged as well. - Okay.
The ones who call a spade are seated in the front row.
- And... - Wait a minute.
Please don't misunderstand.
I am sure they didn't know why they are always in the back row.
- I am sure they didn't know. - Okay.
- Gu Ra. - Yes?
Even in the back row,
- there is the outskirt... - I see.
and the interior.
- These two are different. - Oh, outskirts.
Bear in mind that experts are also analysed.
I would like to remind everyone that it's simply Gu Ra's opinion.
It doesn't reflect the production team's opinion.
I think You Know How to Dance...
- is in her early 30s. - In early 30s?
Yes, I think she is that old.
Also, her hair is very thin.
I see. Can you see her hair from your seat?
I'm saying that...
- because she has her hair tied up. - Yes.
If her hair were thick, there would be more volume.
She has thin hair...
and is pondering whether to be treated for hair loss or not.
- For goodness' sake. - Maybe she is.
I get scalp treatments every week and...
there are more female customers than male customers.
- He is right. - That's why I think...
she is that old.
Gu Ra says you have hair of...
a person in early 30s.
What do you say to that?
Well,
I would like to say that I am very hurt.
- She is very hurt. - Excuse me.
You know that your hair is thin, don't you?
- Yes. - You see?
- All right. - In my opinion,
they are both singers.
You Know How to Dance's body...
made me...
think of a possible candidate.
- Who is it? - I thought of Jang Yoon Jeong.
(Is she the queen of trot music, Jang Yoon Jeong?)
- Jang Yoon Jeong? - Jang Yoon Jeong.
- Yoon Jeong's body is like hers. - The audience disagrees.
Look at how angry everyone is.
There is no way she is Jang Yoon Jeong.
Listen to me.
Next week, Bong Sun will be sitting on the arch in the back.
Isn't that right, everyone?
- A wrong guess pushes you back. - Is that so?
- I see. - How can she be Jang Yoon Jeong?
No, she really seems like Yoon Jeong.
As for Ms Jeju,
looking at the way she danced...
made me realise that she is on the older side.
I think she is a trot singer who is senior to Yoon Jeong,
Han Hye Jin.
(She is a singer with a husky and sexy voice.)
- Han Hye Jin. - "Brown Memories" is her song.
Bong Sun will be sitting outside of the MBC building next week.
She will sit by herself.
- So Hyun, could they be idols? - We would like to know.
There are only a few idol singers...
who are as tall as You Know How to Dance,
- such as Yuju of GFRIEND. - Yuju.
Or Subin of Dal Shabet or High.D of SONAMOO.
- High.D is about 170cm tall. - Yes.
She is very tall,
but her voice isn't similar to the idols I have mentioned.
I can't help but think that she isn't an idol singer.
As for Welcome Ms Jeju,
I think she is an actress who can sing well.
She might be Min Hyo Rin.
- Min Hyo Rin. - She has a voluptuous body, too.
(She is a talented celebrity who can act and sing.)
(She is Taeyang's girlfriend.)
- She might be Min Hyo Rin. - You might be wrong.
I was recently on a programme with Taeyang's brother.
He said, "You have a shoot tomorrow."
"Let's go find you an outfit."
This bit wasn't aired,
but he said that he was disappointed when he first met her in person.
Was he disappointed when he saw Min Hyo Rin in person?
- Did he really say that? - That's ridiculous.
It has been videotaped.
It wasn't aired, but it has been videotaped.
He said that he was a little disappointed.
When I asked him why,
he said that she was shorter than he imagined.
- That's why I think... - Yes.
- she is not Min Hyo Rin. - Is that so?
- Yes. - Can your comment be aired?
It was Taeyang's brother who said it.
I didn't force him.
He said such things out of his own free will.
There have been many guesses regarding their identities.
Gu Ra said You Know How to Dance...
- must be worried about her scalp. - That's right.
He also guessed her to be in her early 30s.
She has a special talent that will help you guess...
her age correctly.
She will show you her special talent.
She can...
use her entire body...
to make sounds.
- From her bones? - Does it come whenever she wants?
- It doesn't come whenever I want. - Really?
I have to wait for three hours after I do it once.
- I see. - How specific.
- It must be from her bones. - Her bones creak.
She wrote down a few different body parts.
Please make a sound with your fingers.
(Expectant)
(Do not attempt this at home.)
(Cracking)
Did you hear that?
(That's ridiculous.)
- Many people can do that. - You are right.
Next comes...
her wrists.
She can get her wrists to make a sound.
(Cracking)
Did you hear that?
The sound came from her wrists.
Next comes her neck.
Let's see how she does it. The sound will come from her neck.
(How can her neck make a sound?)
(Cracking)
(Goose bumps)
(Startled)
How scary.
- How scary. - That scared me.
- Wait a minute. - Did you hear that?
I am not sure if we should give her a round of applause.
Should we?
She demonstrated her special talent...
so that everyone can guess her age.
People have guessed Welcome Ms Jeju...
to be Min Hyo Rin.
This really surprised me.
She listed her special talent...
as Taeyang's dance.
I want to see it.
- She will show us... - I want to see her dance.
- Taeyang's dance. - What a lucky guess.
What a lucky guess.
Give us the music.
(Wow)
(Powerful)
(She looks like a middle-aged woman during her morning exercise.)
(She is hot and flexible.)
(Dazed)
That was the dance.
(The panellists are having an emergency meeting.)
- She can dance very well. - So Hyun, is she an idol singer?
What she showed us wasn't a choreography she has memorised.
It seems like she had...
an extensive training in dance.
She dances too well...
to be an actress.
I don't think she is an idol singer.
When she sang GFRIEND's song earlier,
she used these kinds of hand gestures.
(Extending her arms.)
(She used many hand gestures compared to her partner.)
She could be a solo dance singer who was active in 2000.
That's what I think.
There was someone who came to my mind.
- Was there? - Yes.
- Who is it? - I think...
- she might be Mina. - I think you are right.
(Many of her dance moves have hand gestures.)
(She was the queen of sexy dance in 2000.)
- Mina? - Yes.
- "Call Me". - "Pick up the Phone".
- My goodness. - Was it "Pick up the Phone"?
- Yes. - You did it. She is Mina.
She is Mina.
Congratulations! You figured it out.
- She is Mina. - She is right.
That's right. She is Mina.
- Gu Ra, are you sure? - I'm sure.
- Are you sure? - I knew it.
- She and I are the same age. - Really?
- No, she is a year younger than me. - Is she?
Welcome Ms Jeju.
The panellists strongly believe that you are Mina.
What do you think of her?
I think I have a better figure than Mina's.
She is Mina.
She must be Mina if she says so.
She is Mina.
- Don't push your opinion too hard. - All right.
- Let me tell you. - Go on.
Whoever in her mid-40s...
dares to say...
that she has a better figure than Mina's?
That person must be older than Mina...
or of the same age as Mina...
- or Mina herself. - I see.
- He has a point. - I do.
- Gu Ra is so sure of who she is. - I'm sure.
- She is Mina. - All right.
You think EXY was right.
Now, we'll stop guessing...
who the masked singers of the first match of Round One are.
Who between them can advance to Round Two?
Whose voice do you want to listen to in the next round?
We'll unveil the winner of the first match of Round One.
(A great breathing skill and an excellent sense of rhythm)
(You Know How to Dance has a fascinating boyish tone.)
(Ms Jeju's sexy and husky voice...)
(enchanted the male audience.)
("Rough" with a mature feel)
The winner of this match who will advance to Round Two is...
The winner is...
Who will be the winner?
It was a competition between female contenders.
Ms Jeju should win. I think she'll win.
Go, You Know How to Dance!
(Her heart is pounding.)
(Everybody holds their breath.)
- The winner is... - The winner...
The winner is...
The one who will move on to Round Two is...
(You Know How to Dance wins.)
You Know How to Dance.
- That's it. - Wow!
- Way to go! - My goodness.
Wow! You must know how to dance.
(I feel bad for Ms Jeju.)
She's won with a score of 61 versus 38...
and advanced to Round Two.
Congratulations.
Please move to the backstage.
Please give her a round of applause.
(Ms Jeju's identity is going to be revealed soon.)
Thank you.
(She is joyful.)
Would you move to the centre of this stage?
I won. But my feet hurt.
Who can be Welcome Ms Jeju?
We'll see her solo performance...
and find out who she is. Please give her a big hand.
Her husky voice was well-trained.
I think her sound was coming from profound experience of acting.
- She seems like a veteran dancer. - Go on.
- I think she's Min Hyo Rin. - Min Hyo Rin?
I think she is the singer Mina.
("Love for Night" by Lee Ji Yun)
(The song begins in an exciting rhythm.)
(Love!)
(Her voice is sexy...)
(and lively.)
(The song conveys Saturday night fever.)
(It's an exciting performance.)
(Welcome Ms Jeju makes people...)
(move their shoulders to the tune.)
Now...
please remove your mask and show us who you are.
(Who can be she?)
He was right.
I am right.
She is...
(Who is she?)
She is...
(Surprised)
She is...
Please remove your mask.
She is...
(Ta-da!)
She is the singer Mina who sang "Pick up the Phone."
(Surprising!)
(EXY was right.)
She was right.
It's Mina.
(EXY was correct.)
She is the singer Mina who sang "Pick up the Phone."
Wow, she is amazing.
(Upon removing her mask, she freely interacts with the audience.)
(It's nice to see you, Mina.)
(It has been a while...)
(since we saw her on stage.)
(She sings ardently on the stage which she has missed so much.)
(The singer herself...)
(and the panellists...)
(are all excited.)
Thank you.
(This is an energetic Sunday evening.)
(The masked singer was Mina.)
All right.
The identity of Welcome Ms Jeju has been revealed.
It turned out she is the sexy singer Mina.
Hello. It's been quite a while.
I'm Singer Mina.
(She is the singer Mina.)
(She became famous during the World Cup in 2002.)
(Her song "Pick up the Phone" was a big hit.)
(She is the sexy singer Mina.)
(She is currently gaining a huge fan base in China.)
(She is one of the Korean stars famous in China.)
(She is appearing on Korean television in eight years.)
Is it true that you are about Gu Ra's age?
I think he's two years older than me.
Right. She is of the same age as Seong Ju.
- Were you born in the year of Rat? - Yes.
Oh my, we are friends.
- Nice to meet you, friend. - Me too.
You look younger than your age.
- You do, too. - Oh my goodness.
- She looks young. - I didn't know we are friends.
Our panellists here were surprised to find out...
- that she sings this well. - Go on.
Actually, she sang live for years in China...
so she sings way better than we expected.
I heard your song "Pick up the Phone"...
was a huge hit in China.
Yes. Many Chinese fans loved the song.
- In 2007, I showcased in China... - Go ahead.
and then lived there afterward.
- It's been 7 to 8 years since. - I see.
You know many Chinese people...
watch this show.
Would you say hello to the Chinese fans...
who are watching you now in Chinese?
(Expectations rise.)
(Speaking in Chinese)
(Fluent in Chinese)
(Speaking in Chinese)
(They don't understand what she's saying...)
(but they know she's good.)
- Thank you. - Okay.
I said I lost today, but I'd work harder.
Do you know how you say...
- "King of Mask Singer" in Chinese? - Sorry?
- Mask. - King of Singer.
- Yes.
- King of Mask Singer. - Yes.
Mina gives you her greetings after quite some time...
since the last time she performed in Korea.
Please give her a big hand.
- Thank you. - You did a good job.
(We'll see you often in Korea.)
(It was nice to see you again.)
(Mixed feelings cross her mind.)
Even while I was working in China,
I usually watched Korean television programmes.
Whenever I watched them,
I wanted to appear on them, too.
It was like I was getting forgotten by the people.
When I removed my mask,
the audience welcomed and cheered for me...
although they were seeing me quite after some time.
I was very grateful.
I will work a lot in Korea as well.
So please look forward to my performance.
I will always do my best.
(You look beautiful when you do your best.)
In Round One,
You Know How to Dance defeated Mina...
and moved on to Round Two.
Let's go on.
We'll start the second match of Round One.
(We'll start the second match of Round One.)
The second match of Round One.
His environmentalist voice will prevent the global disasters.
Save the Planet.
(Save the Planet)
I will save the planet with my voice.
Let's go.
(He's gorgeous.)
(He looks so manly.)
Going against him,
a notable artwork painted by his voice.
With You on a Meadow.
(With You on a Meadow)
(Mask design by Hwang Jae Keun)
On a meadow
I will let you listen to my picturesque voice.
(Neighing)
(His face is a canvas.)
- He's doing performance art. - He's painting his own face.
(He's painting his face with fancy skills.)
(Shovelling)
Why is he shovelling if he wants to save the planet?
Is that a hint?
The way he has his hand on his heart to calm down...
- gives away that he is... - He must be young.
- He's young. - Right.
(The two masked singers even look different.)
(How will their duet performance be?)
("It's Love" by Mose)
(The first verse is enough to appeal to the female panellists.)
(His soft voice melts women's hearts.)
(His soft voice belies his imposing figure.)
(Behind his soft voice, he also has powerful sentiments.)
They're good.
(Admiring)
Aren't they both really good?
(Aren't they both really good?)
Both of them have gentle voices.
Based on their voices, they must be handsome.
Meadow has a...
(Meadow has a charming voice.)
charming voice.
(House band)
(Save the Planet sings of deep sentiments in a gentle voice.)
(Meadow has a very clear and gentle voice.)
(Save the Planet sings with great power.)
(The two singers make a wonderful harmony.)
(A sweet performance made by...)
(the two similar but different masked singers)
They're good.
(They're really good.)
- Wow. - They're both good singers.
- They're both singers, right? - Yes, I think so.
I don't think they've had much media exposure.
- I think they have, but... - Can we not identify their voices?
I think that might be it.
The second match of Round One is now over.
Between these two charming singers with a soft voice,
please cast your vote for the one...
you want to see again in the next round.
(The voting begins now.)
Who will become the winner...
of this match?
All votes are in.
Please introduce yourselves to the audience.
Hello, I am Save the Planet. Nice to meet you.
Okay. He's here to save the planet...
wearing his working clothes.
Hello. On the meadow
I will build a pretty house
I am With You on a Meadow.
- Okay. - Nice to meet you.
With You on a Meadow.
It was a sentimental performance. Young Seok, did you like it?
- Yes. - How did you like it?
(He was immersed in their song as if they were female vocals.)
I heard the most fatal attractive point of a man...
from the perspective of a woman is...
when he appeals to the woman's motherly love.
I think With You on a Meadow has...
a voice which stimulates that kind of motherly love.
The colour of his voice is so beautiful that...
it made me think the women must feel protective towards him...
like a mother, even though I am a man.
- Really? - Yes.
He makes you want to give him a hug.
On the other hand, Save the Planet...
sings in such...
- a powerful voice that... - Yes.
he makes you want to be protected by him.
- Hyun Chul, did you analyse some? - Yes.
Save the Planet is...
the timid but masculine type of guy.
When he first came out and began singing,
he seemed pretty nervous.
So his tune was a bit unstable,
but he soon gained stability.
(He returned to stability as he sang on.)
That's why I guessed he might be a timid person.
But for me personally,
he has a voice that I love the most.
- Your favourite type of voice? - Yes.
Hyun Chul guessed that you are...
a timid but masculine man.
(Sighing)
I think he saw correctly.
- Right. - Are you timid?
I get uneasy talking to people whom I don't know.
- I see. - Right.
If you see With You on a Meadow,
he's dressed in SHINee's style.
- SHINee? - Yes. TAEMIN from SHINee.
Okay.
That's the typical TAEMIN style.
So Hyun, do you agree with Gu Ra?
I thought of a few people...
that have a charming voice.
- Seeing from his outfit and all, - Yes?
he reminds me strongly of...
- Minhyun from NU'EST. - She's an expert.
- NU'EST? - Yes.
- NU'EST. - Also,
last time we saw Sunyoul from UP10TION.
Although Sunyoul is the main vocal of that group,
there is also Kogyeol whose figure and voice are...
- I think that's him. - like With You on a Meadow.
Kogyeol.
(I am the idol expert.)
- Kogyeol from UP10TION. - Kogyeol.
Kogyeol and who? Min Youl?
- Minhyun. - Min Youl is my son.
- Minhyun. - Yes, Minhyun.
- I thought the opposite way. - How?
I guessed that Meadow...
is a member of a vocal group.
So you don't think he's an idol?
I don't think he's an idol. I think he's a gentle...
and kind-hearted person. Even if someone pokes him with a needle,
I think he'll very gently say, "Stop it, please."
He seems like a person who's that kind.
To add to what Sandeul said,
- I saw Sweet Sorrow in him. - Sweet Sorrow?
- That's right. Me too. - Sweet Sorrow.
- In Ho Jin? - In Ho Jin from Sweet Sorrow.
- Isn't he Sung Jin Hwan? - Sung Jin Hwan?
- The permed hair. - I'm sure he's from Sweet Sorrow.
Sung Jin Hwan. It's right because Jin Hwan...
(Meadow's voice is clear and soft like that of Jin Hwan.)
Sung Jin Hwan from Sweet Sorrow.
Sweet Sorrow members dress up like that when they perform at parks.
- Right. - Yes, they wear suits like that.
That's right.
Jo Jung Min, do you have something to say?
- I observed that he... - Who? Save the Planet?
Yes. I observed that he breathes often.
So my guess is that he is either a rocker...
or a musical actor who sings...
at rock festivals or large concert halls.
- A rocker or a musical actor? - Yes.
Both of them have charming voices.
Now let's see their special talents.
They say they are good at vocal mimicry.
Save the Planet will go first.
He says he can imitate animals.
Can you imitate a dolphin?
Yes.
Can you please show us?
Without voice modulation,
he will make a sound of a dolphin.
(He sounds just like a dolphin.)
(Wow)
Excuse me.
Do you make the sound using your lips?
It's just my voice.
- Is it your voice? - With his throat.
What about a gorilla?
He can imitate the sound of a gorilla.
(Making a sound of a gorilla)
(Even his gestures look like a gorilla.)
- He is good at it. - I know.
He is good at catching the points.
Save the Planet.
Can you show us the gorilla more doughtily?
Do you think he looked timid?
- Yes, he was a bit timid. - Can you do it again?
- Please do it more doughtily. - Loudly.
A sound of a gorilla.
Good. That's nice.
He is good at this.
Okay. That was bold.
You should have done it sooner.
It was bold. Thank you for doing it.
It is With You on a Meadow's turn.
By the way,
I've never seen a person doing it before.
He can imitate Jang Ki Ha.
(Jang Ki Ha has a very unique voice which is hard to imitate.)
Here I am drinking cheap coffee
(It feels like Jang Ki Ha is singing behind the mask.)
(It is unbelievable!)
- Even he is surprised. - Isn't he Jang Ki Ha?
I think he is Jang Ki Ha.
(Chuckling)
It seems all of you are attracted by With You on a Meadow.
He is good at dancing waves, too.
Please play the music.
(Pitchy)
(He dances sexy waves.)
(It is rather shocking as it is too unique.)
- Please stop him. - That's funny.
- Stop him! - Stop him.
Stop him.
He is very funny.
(Save the Planet is shocked but Seong Ju is impressed by him.)
- Okay. - What should he do?
- That was a good one. - He is funny.
You did a good job.
It was nice.
Wow, he is good at this.
He is very playful. He must be BOOM!
- He's BOOM! - Okay.
Save the Planet, can you...
dance waves or anything?
He just captivated the panellists.
Okay. I will dance waves, too.
- Really? - Waves!
- I just said that. - Why is he...
- being so passive? - Can you really do that?
Save the Planet can do anything if we ask him to do it.
- He just rolled up his sleeves. - Look at him.
- That's good. - Play the music.
(The same song is played.)
(Stiff)
He is clumsy.
(I can dance waves, too.)
- What's he doing? - He looks desperate.
- He's very desperate. - Good.
- It's going well. - Lie down.
You should lie down here.
Lie down on the stage.
- Good! That's it. - Keep dancing.
That's great!
- He keeps dancing. - We should stop him.
- Stop him! - Stand up.
- That's good. - That's it.
I'm sorry. Please stand up.
- I'm really sorry. - He looks upset.
I shouldn't have asked it.
He looks very sad.
- He wanted to be in the spotlight. - I'm sorry.
I shouldn't have talked to him too much.
I'm very sorry.
Seong Ju.
I'm sure he has never done that before.
It was his first time to do such things.
- Okay. - I was surprised.
He was getting all the attentions...
but once he danced, he turned the game around.
- That's how life goes. - I know.
Now it is time to announce the result...
of the second match of Round One.
I just received the result.
It is neck and neck.
The margin is...
- only three votes. - I knew it!
Save the Planet!
- Okay. - With You on a Meadow.
If only two people changed their minds,
the result could have been different.
The two male singers contended for victory with their sweet voices.
We are announcing the winner of the second match now.
Save the Planet!
(With his clear and gentle voice,)
(Meadow melted women's heart.)
(With his soft but powerful voice,)
(Save the Planet expressed his plaintive feeling.)
(Neither of them seems to give ground.)
(Who will be the winner of this competitive match?)
Who will win the second match...
and move on to Round Two with the margin of three votes?
- The winner is... - Save the Planet!
Save the Planet!
I will save the planet together!
Meadow! Meadow!
(They showed different feelings with their sweet voices.)
(Who will be the winner?)
Who will be the winner amongst them?
With You on a Meadow wins.
(It is neck and neck with the margin of three votes.)
(The panellists react with mixture of emotions.)
- Wow! - I knew it!
- I can't believe this. - With You on a Meadow wins.
(Some look sad.)
(And some shout with joy.)
With You on a Meadow defeated Save the Planet...
with the margin of three votes.
The final score is 51 to 48.
51 to 48.
- I can't believe this. - It was so close.
Congratulations.
Please go to the waiting room...
and get ready for the next round.
(Save the Planet will reveal his identity soon.)
(Trembling)
It was just three votes.
(Groaning)
I still can't believe this.
(He dances waves again in joy.)
(He goes into the room to calm himself down.)
I'm very sorry for Save the Planet.
It's okay.
- Are you all right? - Yes.
- I'm sorry. - He will reveal his identity...
singing a solo.
We will be able to see his face pretty soon.
Please give him a round of applause.
To be honest,
this is my favourite voice.
I think he was very popular a while ago.
I think he is a rocker or a musical actor.
("Sadness Guide" by Kim Bum Soo)
(Astonished)
I can't believe he lost.
He is a great singer.
He is so good.
(He sings with a calm voice.)
(He expresses his ardent feeling singing the song.)
(Who is the singer with such a sweet voice?)
Now please take off your mask...
and show us your face.
(Groping)
(He takes out something from his pocket.)
He wears glasses.
- Is it glasses? - That's his glasses
He wears glasses?
He is...
Kang Jun Woo of Rose Motel, the band having eight years of experience.
He is Kang Jun Woo.
I can't believe this.
(They didn't expect to see him here at all.)
I can't believe this.
He is the guitarist of Rose Motel.
I didn't know he has such a great voice like this.
Nice to meet you. We are Rose Motel!
(Kang Jun Woo is the guitarist and vocalist of Rose Motel.)
(He has an attractive and fine voice.)
He looks like an owl.
He's an owl!
He's flying.
(Today, he came onto the stage as a soloist, Kang Jun Woo.)
Kang Jun Woo of Rose Motel, the band having eight years of experience.
I told you he is a rocker.
(It's unbelievable he is a rocker.)
(His voice is a pleasant surprise.)
(His comical image has vanished.)
(He fills his performance with sorrow.)
(He sings so well.)
(He is the best.)
(He is the hidden gem of Rose Motel.)
(The vocalist, Kang Jun Woo)
(He showed his unexpected charms on this first solo performance.)
The identity of Save the Planet has been revealed.
Hello, I am Rose Motel's guitarist and vocalist,
Kang Jun Woo. It's nice to meet you.
(Kang Jun Woo was Save the Planet.)
I got goose bumps twice.
- Is that so? - First was...
because I mistook him for Jung Jae Yong of DJ DOC.
- I thought he was Jung Jae Yong. - I got goose bumps.
I thought Yook Joong Wan was the only member of Rose Motel...
- who can sing very well, - Right.
but his singing skills gave me goose bumps again.
Exactly. I heard that you often feel at disadvantage...
because of Yook Joong Wan.
- That's right. - This episode will be aired...
on the day of Yook Joong Wan's wedding.
- I see. - It's March 20, right?
- Yes. - He will get married on that day.
The thing is, Jun Woo also announced his upcoming wedding.
- When will the wedding take place? - I'm getting married in May.
- You will get married in May. - That's right.
A lot of articles only mentioned Yook Joong Wan's wedding.
It's good to know that you will get married in May.
Have you proposed to your fiancee?
I should, but I haven't yet.
We will give you an opportunity to propose right now.
Why don't you say a few words to your fiancee?
Hello.
It's good to say hello to you via a TV programme.
Is she old? Is she much older than you?
(Is she old? Is she much older than you?)
It must have been a very hard decision...
to spend the rest of your life...
with a man who is a musician.
Nevertheless, you chose me despite my unstable life.
(Nevertheless, you chose me despite my unstable life.)
Thank you so much. I will repay you...
with my love. Thank you. I love you.
He is the romantic member of Rose Motel.
- His sincere words warmed my heart. - Rose Motel is a band of romantics.
He is a hopeless romantic.
Through his performance on King of Mask Singer,
we got a chance to listen to...
the true voice of Kang Jun Woo, the vocalist of Rose Motel.
It was a meaningful experience.
- Thank you for your hard work. - Thank you.
- Congratulations on your wedding. - Thank you.
(Give us more opportunities to listen to your beautiful voice.)
(He seems both relieved and sad.)
My favourite singer is Kim Bum Soo.
I wanted to be a ballad singer...
who sings in a nice suit.
I dreamed of becoming a ballad singer.
However, I failed to lose weight even after I turned 20.
(He failed to lose weight.)
I realised then that I can't be a ballad singer.
I could not sing a sentimental song.
That's why I decided to join a band.
That way, I could be on the stage with other people.
It has been 4 or 5 years since I joined Rose Motel.
Many people think Yook Joong Wan...
is the only vocalist of Rose Motel.
After watching King of Mask Singer,
I hope many people will realise...
that there is also a vocalist named Kang Jun Woo in Rose Motel.
With You on a Meadow beat Kang Jun Woo...
and moved on to Round Two.
Right after the show, a survey that measures...
netizens' expectations for this week's King will be held.
We ask you to take part in the survey.
Now, I give you...
the third match of Round One.
(The third match of Round One)
This is the third match of Round One.
His voice is like a spring flower in full bloom.
His song is more fragrant than a flower.
Man in Flower!
(Man in Flower)
Man in flower
I will give you a fragrant performance.
(I will give you a fragrant performance.)
(He enters the stage with a bouquet of spring flowers.)
(I want that flower.)
"His voice is like a spring flower in full bloom."
The description tells us that he is very confident of his voice.
It must be a full bloom.
Opposing him...
is an agent from space who finally landed on earth.
She will look up and down...
into the nooks and crannies...
to take back memories from earth.
The voice from the stars,
Space Agent Number Seven!
(Space Agent Number Seven)
I came to earth to spread my voice.
I will show the audience every single one of my charms.
(Hello, humans.)
(Everyone is interested in a visitor from space.)
She has the vibe of a Bond girl.
She is sexy.
So it will be a match between a man and a woman.
(The two masked singers seem out of ordinary.)
Both of them seem to be extraordinary.
- My goodness. - Wow.
(Space Agent is sexy.)
(Man in Flower is wearing a flower print suit.)
His outfit is similar to that of Kyung Hwan.
(Flower print)
I knew I saw that suit somewhere.
(Will they sing sitting down?)
(Everyone is curious about the first-ever attempt.)
I think they will sing "All for You".
(It's a strange meeting between a flower and an alien.)
(What will their duet song be like?)
("All for You" by COOL)
It is "All for You".
I knew they would sing that song when they sat down.
(She is an expert of idol singers for sure.)
(Wow)
(Her warm voice embraces the audience.)
(How nice.)
(She conveys sentimentality with her soulful voice.)
(She must be an experienced singer.)
(Who could she be?)
(Oh my goodness.)
(He has a warm voice that seeps into the heart.)
(He is no amateur.)
That's so sweet.
(Spring is here.)
How nice.
(The confession of love of these two masked singers...)
(fills everybody with love.)
(It was warm and lovely like the spring sunshine.)
Their voices are wonderful.
- Their tones are... - So beautiful.
Gosh, I was moved.
I loved it.
That voice sounds very familiar.
The third match of Round One is done.
They sang a sweet love song in this duet match.
Between these two masked singers,
whose voice was lovelier?
Please decide the winner of this match.
All votes are in.
First, please say hello to the viewers.
Man in Flower will go first.
Hello.
I'm Man In Flower. Nice to meet you.
All right.
He is wearing a flower mask...
and a flower-printed suit.
Hello, everybody.
I'm Space Agent Number Seven.
She seems to laugh a lot.
Please excuse me.
In such a beautiful dress,
- she bursts into laughter. - Hey, do you usually laugh a lot?
(She bursts into laughter.)
- Pardon? - What did you say?
- Because my voice sounds funny. - Funny?
Do you have manic disorder?
- No, she doesn't have it. - I see.
- She's just in a happy mood. - Good to hear that.
Yu Young Seok, what do you have to say...
about this sweet performance?
Actually, I'm regretting something.
What do you regret?
I should've saved the word "beautiful"...
to describe Space Agent.
- It's his chronic illness. - I see.
- He said that 15 times already. - It's his long-term illness.
He says that line all the time.
When you see her singing, it makes you feel like you want to help her.
Is that how you felt?
It felt like she was my lady.
On top of her great looks,
she has a voice as clear as crystal.
I used the word many times. But she is really beautiful.
Her voice tone is like this.
Her voice is not only sweet,
but it feels like spring sunshine...
spreading through a dark room.
As for her vibration techniques,
she adds vibrations before the end of bars...
and finishes lightly.
- The technique is very clever. - I see.
Let me tell you again. She was really beautiful.
All right.
Is that all?
- Hey. - Is that all?
- What about the male singer? - Oh, I forgot.
Was that all?
Don't you think you are being unfair?
Will you be half paid since you did half work?
His comment was very one-sided.
Wait. I can do this.
What do you mean by "I can do this"? You should do this.
- It's your job to comment. - Is he a regular panellist?
I could sense that Man in Flower has...
ability to interpret this song,
and he was controlling the pace to sing it well.
I thought he knew exactly...
how this song should be sung.
(That's it.)
Was that all? No more comment?
Please let me think.
(Young Seok is indifferent to men.)
Cho Jang Hyuk, could you analyse their breathing this time?
First, Man in Flower...
blows warm breath...
into his vocal cords.
All the while he was singing,
I was touched by the warmth of his voice.
As for Space Agent Number Seven,
she seems like a professional singer.
Actually, this song by COOL is...
far from the soul genre.
Still, her singing was very soulful.
It felt like she was playing with the song.
I'm really looking forward...
to hearing her soulful performance in Round Two.
Jang Hyuk, could you guess their age by their breathing, too?
I think Man in Flower...
is in his 40s.
- In his 40s? - Over 40.
Like men in 40s, he has a small pot belly...
when he sits.
Did you see his pot belly?
- A little pressure on his belly. - His belly is a bit chubby.
(His belly looks just like mine.)
- A little chubby? - Yes, his belly is a bit chubby.
You need to know that singing whilst sitting down...
- is not that easy. - I see.
- He might be a little old. - Over 40 years old.
He is over 40 years old.
- I think Space Agent is in her 30s. - In her 30s?
Yes. She is in her 30s and full of energy.
In her 30s and full of energy?
It doesn't matter if she is in her late 30s.
Her voice is well-managed and healthy...
like Mina's as we've witnessed a while ago.
She must be exercising and taking care of her health.
Considering her expertise, she is not in her 20s.
I think she is definitely over 30 years old.
- Judging from her body line, - Go on.
- she must be working out. - Are you talking about Space Agent?
Yes. And her body is tanned like bodybuilders.
Jung Min, you are well known for your tanned skin tone.
Who do you think she is since you have the same skin tone?
How can she tell a person by her skin tone?
What about her skin tone?
- They might connect to each other. - I see.
I thought her singing gestures...
and her voice were like those of a rhythm and blues singer.
She reminded me of Park Hwayobi.
(Rhythm and blues singer Park Hwayobi)
(She has a similar soulful singing technique.)
She reminded me of Park Hwayobi.
By the way, when she made the "seven" gesture,
she was a bit shy. So I don't think she is young.
- I see. - You don't think she's young.
- Park Hwayobi is actually like her. - Is she?
She laughs introducing herself.
I didn't know Park Hwayobi laughs a lot.
- Except when she's singing, - You are right.
she laughs even when she should be talking about her songs.
- She laughs a lot. - She might be Park Hwayobi.
I'll add something to what Jang Hyuk said.
- They sang like a couple. - Yes, they sang "All for You".
The lyrics are also about love. When I watched their performance,
the male lover was like a desperate job seeker.
- Unemployed. - And female lover has a good job.
She has a job.
So she always pays for their meals and coffee.
That was the feeling I got, but I don't know what it means.
- That's how you felt? - Her name has "seven" in it.
So she buys seven times when he buys only once.
That's their situation.
You feel his situation is worse than hers.
- But he is handsome. - He is a good-looking man.
This time, Hyun Chul will analyse their vocal cords.
Okay. It seems the male contender was feeling very pressured...
to sing well.
I think he could've controlled the volume of his voice better.
When you sing a duet, you should control...
the volume of your voice depending on times.
But he sang too close to the microphone.
I think he did that because he was pressured.
To sum it all up,
he is an inconsiderate job seeker sponging off his girlfriend.
That's the conclusion.
Why do you make him such a shameless person?
- I just summed up what you said. - You are going too far.
I was just summing up. Then, I'll take back what I said.
Could you guess how old they are, too?
I also think he's in his 40s.
Because the way he looks in his suit...
is quite different to the way young people look...
in their suit.
His trousers below his knees are badly wrinkled.
When you get old, your skin gets dry...
and you scratch your skin often.
You are more likely to scratch your skin.
You are right.
- That's why they have wrinkles. - He must have dry skin.
- I see. - He knows. He got what I'm saying.
- Now... - Wait, Man in Flower.
Which flower do you like the most?
(He is nervous.)
- Lily. - Pardon?
- Lily. - Can you tell us why?
You don't have to get nervous.
- I don't really like flowers. - Pardon?
- I don't like flowers. - You don't like flower.
Are you afraid of Gu Ra?
- Even though I'm... - Go on.
- wearing a mask now, - Okay.
- I can't hide it on my face. - He is upset.
It seems he is very upset.
Because you thought...
he is over 40, a job seeker, and a freeloader.
He's inconsiderate and uneducated...
Who said he's uneducated?
and an amateur singer. This is how you described him.
- You are speaking nonsense. - He always scratches his dry legs.
It's obvious he is upset. I would be upset if I were him.
Wait. Think of the purpose of this show.
If he sang without a mask on,
we would never have said such things.
We just said what we felt. If he could give us a certain impression,
- that means he's an expert. - I see.
Don't you agree?
- Okay. - It's okay, they're just assuming.
- Let's just surprise them later. - Okay.
Amongst what we said about you,
who is the person that said the worst thing?
You.
(He froze.)
I knew it.
The way he answers my question like that...
gives away that he's been involved in reality shows a lot.
- Please lighten up a bit. - Okay.
We will now see this masked singer's unique talent.
He will show us...
a dance of a girl group.
He will show us a girl group dance moves.
Let's hush them up with this one.
- Wait a second. - They guessed you were 40...
and that you would scratch your legs like an old man.
Let's hush them up.
Please turn on the music.
(The music starts before he can change his mind.)
(Dancing listlessly)
(Poking the air)
(He doesn't know what to do.)
(He is trying his best.)
(It's almost like he is fighting himself.)
(Kicking requires a lot of efforts.)
(He's happy as it's over.)
(It wasn't too bad for an improvised dance.)
- "Gee" of Girls' Generation. - Seong Ju.
Do you think this dance will get rid of our guesses about his old age?
- I think he's over 60. - What?
He's over 60.
- You think he's over 60? - Yes.
Oh! I've got it.
- Who? - Who is it?
Gu Ra, did someone come to your mind?
Man in Flower. I think he knows how to dance.
He reminds me of...
Sung Dai Hyun.
(Sung Dai Hyun from R.ef who was extremely popular in the 90s)
He sounds and feels like Dai Hyun.
Nobody has seen Dai Hyun sing, but he is a singer.
So he might have come here to break that prejudice.
Dai Hyun used to wear clothes with...
floral patterns a lot.
- I think you are right. - He seems like Dai Hyun to me.
Dai Hyun sings with a rougher voice.
But Man in Flower is a decent singer.
- He is a professional singer. - Then what becomes of Dai Hyun?
What about Dai Hyun?
We will now announce...
the results of the third match of Round One.
The singer who we'll meet again in Round Two.
Who will be the lucky winner?
Let's see who won this duet match.
(Is it Man in Flower, who captured the women's hearts with his voice?)
(Or is it Space Agent, who sang in her soulful voice?)
(Who is the winner of this warm match?)
The third masked singer...
to move on to Round Two is...
Go, Space Agent.
Is it Man in Flower?
(Amazing harmony of an inseparable team)
The winner of this match moves on to the next round.
The winner of this match is...
Space Agent Number Seven has won.
(Space Agent Number Seven)
Number Seven.
(You're the best!)
Space Agent Number Seven defeats Man in Flower...
with a final score of 60 to 39.
Please move to the waiting room and get ready for the next round.
Please give her a round of applause.
(Who is it?)
(Staggering off stage)
(She must have been very nervous.)
I will tell you this now.
When you see his face, all of you will be in shock.
You will all feel very sorry.
- It's either Dai Hyun... - Okay.
He's a singer.
Let's listen to Man in Flower's...
solo performance and find out who he is.
Please give him a round of applause.
I think he's in his 40s.
He's over 60 years old.
- He looks like a job seeker. - Unemployed?
He is an inconsiderate job seeker, sponging off his girlfriend.
He has a pot belly.
When you get old, your skin gets dry and you scratch your skin often.
Who is the person that said the worst thing?
You.
("After a Long Separation" by Shin Seung Hun)
Oh my gosh.
(His voice has become sweeter than the duet performance.)
(His deep sentiments...)
(and warm and gentle voice fills up the studio.)
(Who is this charming man?)
His voice is amazing.
Now,
Man in Flower, please take off your mask...
and show us who you are.
(They both criticised him on his character.)
(They speculated that he would be very old.)
(He called him a job seeker with a pot belly, who scratches his legs.)
He is...
(Screaming)
- Why? - Why?
Why?
(Oh, no.)
He is...
Kim Jeong Hoon, a singer and an actor with 17 years of experience...
from the group UN.
Kim Jeong Hoon.
(Wow)
(Screaming)
(They're screaming as if showing off the size of their mouths.)
(Gu Ra is surprised the most.)
Gosh, was it Jeong Hoon?
(This person's best friend)
(The freshness of his face was hidden behind the mask.)
(What did we do to you?)
(What do I do?)
Oh my gosh.
(It's so good to see you.)
(Me, too.)
(A heart-warming performance from a friendly face)
Thank you.
You're a great singer.
Jeong Hoon is an amazing singer.
We now know who Man in Flower is.
It's Kim Jeong Hoon of UN.
Hello, I'm Kim Jeong Hoon. Nice to meet you.
(People are once again cheering for him.)
(Kim Jeong Hoon was a member of a male duo, UN.)
("Forever", "Wave", "Gift" and more, all of their albums were a big hit.)
(After he showed his charms as an actor,)
(we couldn't see him for a while on screen.)
(But he became very popular in China through Chinese dramas such as...)
("God of War, Zhao Yun" and "Love Strategy".)
(Before we realised it, he became a global star famous throughout Asia.)
He does not deserve all the criticism he got today.
Seong Ju, you are plotting against us.
How is "job seeker" a criticism?
Gu Ra is always like that, so I didn't really care,
- but Young Seok and I... - Young Seok?
- used to be really close. - And then what happened?
We even met almost every day...
for six months back in the days.
We drank together and listened to music together.
We talked about a lot of things,
- but he didn't even mention me. - Right.
- He only talked about Space Agent. - He was captivated by her.
He said she was beautiful,
- but he should have said it now. - He always does that.
He says he is disappointed all the time.
Then he says sorry once they take off their masks.
- That's right. - He does that all the time.
- Anyway, I'm glad to see you. - Me, too.
Jang Hyuk, you look very surprised.
I met him a lot in the past.
He can't say anything to Young Seok.
I was very surprised.
I never thought Jeong Hoon would be here.
Actually, it has been 11 years since I sang on the stage in Korea.
- 11 years? - The last time I sang was in 2005.
- And it has been 11 years. - I see.
So I was very nervous to be here.
At the moment, he is a famous star in China and Japan.
I bet you've missed being on the stage in Korea very much.
I had concerts and I did different performances in other countries.
But like the way you miss kimchi when you go abroad,
I missed singing and acting in Korean.
That is why this stage is much more memorable.
Some people say...
that you've quit being a singer and turned your career...
- to acting. - I never said that.
So do you plan to continue your career as a singer?
My new album will be out next month.
- In Korea? - Yes.
- I see. - Nice.
- Congratulations. - Even though I sound like...
a man in his 40s...
That was Seong Ju's scheme.
Even though he sounds like a man in his 40s,
he decided to sing on the stage in his home country in 11 years.
His performance made us look forward to his future endeavours.
Please give him a round of applause.
Thank you.
- Thank you for your effort. - Thank you.
(He leaves the stage with light steps.)
It was fun.
(Sigh of relief)
I feel relieved.
They didn't recognise my voice. I thought they would.
They don't know my voice.
The panellists are...
experts of experts.
Their comments touched my heart.
I've never heard such advice...
when I sang in other countries.
It feels like I got a private lesson.
I want to try harder to be a better singer.
I am eager to sing good songs to the audience.
I was glad. It felt great...
to sing on the stage in Korea in a long time.
I will try harder to do my best.
Space Agent Number Seven defeated Kim Jeong Hoon...
and goes on to Round Two.
It is the fourth match of Round One.
He's on the landing operations to become the king of mask singer.
Crash-land of Love.
(Crash-land of Love)
(He travels outward into space, holding a rose in his hand.)
Be careful.
I will make an emergency landing in your heart.
(Giggling)
(Witty)
(He is a playful romantic.)
He is overreacting a little bit.
It's about time for a comedian.
His opponent is...
a man flying for the king of mask singer.
Fly Little Chick!
(Fly Little Chick)
(Peeping)
Wait for me. I will fly to you now.
Chirp-chirp!
(Even though he is acting cute...)
He looks somewhat tough.
- He looks manly, doesn't he? - Yes.
Fly Little Chick looks tough. He's not a chick, he's an eagle.
(They pretty much have the same build.)
(What will a love-seeking romantic...)
(and a sweet charmer's voices be like?)
("Walking All the Way to the Sky" by Jang Hyun Chul)
Yes! I love this song.
I like it, too.
("Walking All the Way to the Sky" by Jang Hyun Chul)
(The intro perks up the audience.)
(Cute)
(Fly Little Chick impresses the audience...)
(singing with his straight voice.)
(Singing wholeheartedly)
(He is cute.)
(House band)
(This is so exciting!)
(Dancing gently)
(Like a little chick of spring,)
(his voice sounds lively.)
(Meanwhile, Crash-land of Love's voice sounds...)
(powerful like the sudden shower in midsummer.)
(Wow!)
(Oh, yes!)
(I want you to take my love.)
(That's for me.)
(The two masked singers are reaching to the sky.)
(They are a manly romantic...)
(and a cute little chick.)
(They showed their enthusiastic zest on the stage.)
(They look really good together.)
(It was a perfect harmony.)
(The rock music mania is impressed.)
- It is exciting. - I was thrilled...
just by listening to the intro.
It's been a long time since I heard this song.
(The song was a very famous original soundtrack of a drama.)
It was the fourth match of Round One.
I want you to choose the winner who will move on to the next round.
Press number one for Crash-land of Love.
Press number two for Fly Little Chick.
Who will be the winner moving on to Round Two?
Will Crash-land of Love win this match?
Or will Fly Little Chick move on to the next round?
All votes are in.
It was the last match of Round One.
Please say hello to the viewers first.
Hello. I'm Crash-land of Love.
Okay. He looks like an astronaut in a spaceship.
Hello. I'm Fly Little Chick.
He looks like a kindergartener.
He wears like a cute young boy.
(Being cute is his thing.)
(It doesn't look strange at all even when he's standing among children.)
(He's carrying a cross-body bag like young girls.)
(He makes people...)
(return to the innocence of childhood.)
It was the last match.
- Jang Hyuk. - Yes.
Fly Little Chick is...
not a chick.
- Isn't he a chick? - No, he's not.
He is an old rooster.
(Shocked)
I mean he is relatively old.
So he's not a chick.
Fly Little Chick.
He just said that you are an old rooster.
There are some people like him.
Okay. I don't think he feels good to hear that.
But I could feel his warm heart when he sang.
When Crash-land of Love sang,
I could see that...
he wasted his breath. I think he practised it a lot.
Did he waste his breath?
Yes.
You could sing like this.
But he had enough breath to waste.
"I could live my days"
I can't even do it.
(He has a big air capacity...)
(like a dolphin.)
So I guess he has a lot of experience in shouting.
He might be a rocker.
- I see. - That's my guess.
Young Seok.
Any man would love this song, don't you think so?
Yes.
You don't have to talk about male singers.
Why are you saying that to me?
- Can you talk about him? - Of course I can.
Please say anything about his performance.
I'd love to talk about it.
Crash-land of Love has got a hoarse voice.
Any male singer would love to...
have such a voice.
It feels like his voice scratches the itch.
And his voice tone lingers on for a long time.
It is very attractive.
- Hyun Chul. - Fly Little Chick...
held the microphone in a unique way.
Fly Little Chick held the end of the microphone...
until the song was over.
Singers usually hold the upper part of a microphone.
Some old singers like Yoon Bock Hee and Yoon Hyang Ki...
held the end of a microphone.
(They look like a retro troika.)
And he even stood sideways like this.
His shoulders look lopsided.
Do his shoulders look lopsided?
My goodness.
I have gained an insight...
after studying Fly Little Chick.
All his gestures are very passive.
The writers ask each contestant to do a certain gesture.
However, Fly Little Chick only made the gesture...
a few times.
No masked singer on the show has ever been so passive.
I don't think he is even nervous.
I think he is one of the leading actors...
in weekend or morning dramas of MBC.
I have a hunch on who Crash-land might be.
He used to be a singer.
He composed songs...
and wrote lyrics.
He is the CEO of a well-known company,
FNC Entertainment.
- His name is Han Sung Ho. - I see.
His desire to become famous surpasses that of celebrities.
You would appear on the show if you were invited, right?
(He is determined to do well on variety programmes.)
The writers told me that I look like a celebrity.
Who said that?
(He is a singer with two albums under his belt.)
(Is Crash-land the CEO of many talents, Han Sung Ho?)
Jo Sung Mo's "Heaven" was supposed to be his.
- That's right. - The song almost became his,
but the executives wanted a better-looking singer.
He is a singer of a sad fate.
Crash-land of Love, do you have anything to say?
Gu Ra's words...
made my mind go blank.
Being mistaken for such amazing people...
- feels very good. - I see.
He says that he feels good.
Gu Ra, you said earlier that Fly Little Chick...
could be a leading actor. Do you have a specific drama in mind?
There is the drama that stars Won Mi Kyung,
- "Happy Home". - I see.
It could be the drama that stars U-IE and Lee Seo Jin,
- "Marriage Contract". - That's right.
If Fly Little Chick is on the younger side,
- he could be around U-IE's age. - You are right.
- Let's see who is in the drama. - Look at the character list.
The drama had a viewers' rating of 18 percent last week.
- Kim Kwang Kyu is in that drama. - He is.
He is too chubby to be Kim Kwang Kyu.
- Is he too chubby? - He is too chubby.
He must be an actor...
starring in a weekend drama.
- The thing is... - Do you think he is a comedian?
No comedian would remain so motionless.
There is something I would like to clarify.
Everyone has agreed that Fly Little Chick is timid,
but he boldly listed retro dance as his special talent.
Retro dance.
- Retro dance? - I heard that he dances...
without holding back.
Let's resume guessing his identity after we check out his dance.
Give us the music.
(Shaking)
(Swaying)
(He is pretty good.)
This is the retro dance. How fun.
There you go.
(Cheerful)
He is cute.
(Let's go.)
Let's go. He is very daring.
He is not timid.
That would be the end.
He is not a comedian.
Is he Yoon Da Hoon?
- My goodness. - I think he is Yoon Da Hoon.
My goodness, where did she go?
It's not good for you. Come on.
- Yoon Da Hoon. - Yoon Da Hoon.
- You think he is an actor. - I think he is Yoon Da Hoon.
Besides retro dance,
Fly Little Chick...
is good at voice imitations.
- Whom will you imitate? - Lee Ju Il.
- Lee Ju Il? - Yes.
That is very telling.
- I will imitate Lee Ju Il... - That is very telling.
- Okay. - singing Yoon Bock Hee's song.
What a crucial piece of information.
I think he is Young Seok's age at least.
He will imitate Lee Ju Il...
singing Yoon Bock Hee's song, "Why Did You Look Back?"
Leave if you must
Why do you look back?
Are you protesting?
(Are you protesting?)
(Middle-aged men find it funny.)
Hyun Chul bursts out laughing.
Fly Little Chick's talent suited his taste.
For goodness' sake.
(Whenever he encounters an old-fashioned joke,)
(he bursts out laughing.)
There is one more.
He will imitate Lee Ju Il singing Choi Hun's "Empress Tree Leaf".
"Empress Tree Leaf"!
- Choi Hun's "Empress Tree Leaf". - That's an old song.
What a lovely atmosphere. Sing Choi Hun's "Empress Tree Leaf".
(An empress tree leaf)
(He is having difficulty breathing.)
(He loves old-fashioned jokes.)
He just snorted.
- If you know who Lee Ju Il is... - Fly Little Chick must be old.
- Is he old? - He is very old.
(Coughing)
- Why in the world is he coughing? - I think he is about to puke.
(He is about to faint.)
(Laughing)
He sure loves old-fashioned jokes.
It's time to announce the results...
for the last match of Round One.
The winner of this match...
will be revealed now.
(The winner will be revealed now.)
(He has a powerful and gravelly voice.)
(Will the winner be the romantic Crash-land?)
(He has a clean-cut voice.)
(Will the winner be the cute Fly Little Chick?)
(Who captured the audience's hearts?)
Who is the winner of a match between two men?
The winner is...
- Crash-land. - Crash-land.
- Fly Little Chick. - Fly Little Chick.
(Which masked singer will compete again next week?)
Between Crash-land and Fly Little Chick,
who will be the winner?
The winner is...
(Crash-land won.)
(The romanticist made it!)
Crash-land won.
Crash-land beat Fly Little Chick...
with a score of 83 to 16...
and moved on to Round Two.
It was an overwhelming victory. Congratulations.
Please return to your waiting room.
Give him a round of applause.
(Fly Little Chick's jaw-dropping identity will be revealed.)
Even though there was a big difference between votes,
it matters that Fly Little Chick showed a manly performance.
I will enjoy my next performance. I will enjoy it more than this one.
It's your mind-set that matters the most.
(He shows the rocket ceremony out of joy.)
Fly Little Chick seems to be a bit disappointed.
His identity will be revealed.
Whilst listening to the song that...
he has prepared for the next round,
we will check his identity.
Please give him a round of applause.
Yoon Bock Hee and Yoon Hyang Ki held the end of a microphone.
- Fly Little Chick must be old. - Is he old?
He is very old.
He is not a comedian.
Is he Yoon Da Hoon? I think he is Yoon Da Hoon.
("Painful Waiting" by Cho Yong Pil)
Is this a trot song?
(He chose a sentimental song that is vastly different from his first.)
(Wait a minute.)
(His hand gestures show sentimentality.)
He must be old.
(The way he conveys emotions speaks of an old age.)
(Who could he be?)
(He has a sorrowful voice hidden behind his cute appearance.)
(Fly Little Chick's jaw-dropping identity will be revealed soon.)
(Making a fist)
Fly Little Chick,
take off your mask and reveal your identity.
(Focused)
(Who is Fly Little Chick in a cute look?)
He is...
This masked...
singer is...
This is...
Is he Yook Joong Wan?
Who is he? Who?
This masked...
singer is...
the legend baseball player,
Lee Jong Beom.
The baseball player Lee Jong Beom.
(Oh my goodness)
(We didn't even imagine he is Lee Jong Beom.)
What is it?
(Nobody expected him.)
(The audience stirs.)
(We didn't know this tough player has this sensibility.)
Wow!
(He sings every single note with his greatest effort.)
(Lee Jong Beom does his best until the last moment.)
He is the legendary baseball player Lee Jong Beum.
Would you say hello to the viewers?
Hello. I'm Lee Jong Beom,
the commentator at MBC Sports Plus. Nice to meet you.
(He stole 84 bases in 1 season.)
(He won KBO in 1993, 1996, 1997 and 2009, KBO MVP...)
(in 1993 and 1997 as well as a gold medal in 2002 Asian Games.)
I'm going to put down my bat...
and leave the ground.
(As a baseball commentator,)
(he's begun the second chapter of his life.)
He is a good singer.
- I couldn't even imagine. - Couldn't you?
Did you release your album, didn't you?
- Yes, I did 23 years ago. - You did 23 years ago.
- With the singer Yang Soo Kyoung... - Yang Soo Kyoung.
With Sun Dong Yeol, too?
Yes. The number of the leftover albums were 30,000.
At the time, our team head...
gave me an opportunity...
to record an album as a reward.
I recorded it for no purpose.
So please don't get me wrong.
He once released his own album.
When we offered him to appear on our show,
he rejected our offer at first.
Instead, he suggested...
that he would be a panellist.
- He's such a good talker. - But all of a sudden,
he changed his mind...
the day before the broadcast...
to sing.
- Is that true? - He declared he'd sing...
as a masked singer the day before the broadcast.
He could be on this stage after the last-minute change.
- I have a reason. - Do you?
My wife said that if I become a panellist sitting there,
I'd have no chance to speak because of Gu Ra.
No, it's not because of me.
She advised me that being a panellist is harder...
than a masked singer here.
So I changed my mind.
- My wife didn't mean that. - Okay.
(Curious)
She meant she'd be embarrassed if you are a panellist.
She meant you'd better sing for once and bow out.
His wife is very smart.
She is such a wise wife.
She wants him not to sit there for a long time...
but to sing quickly and bow out.
Do you think your wife will be satisfied watching you singing?
I could've done a better impersonation of Lee Ju Il.
You think you could do better.
I wish you could edit out that impersonation.
That was the good part. That can't be edited out.
- That should be aired. - It was unforgettable.
Will you say hello to your wife who is the fan of our show?
We'll give you a chance.
She always takes care of our two children.
I really thank my wife.
I will work hard as a commentator...
and become a father that my family can be proud of.
- Thank you. - All right.
Lee Jong Beum, you did great.
There is a thing which really surprised me.
What I was really surprised by the staff is...
how they could put those clothes...
- on the legendary baseball player? - Tell me about it.
- I was disappointed. - I can't stop laughing at him.
(Can you believe I'm wearing a chick costume at the age of 47?)
Can you believe I'm wearing a chick costume at the age of 47?
(He looked blue this morning.)
(But he soon recovered his energy.)
(He enjoyed today's performance.)
It's been two years since I became a baseball commentator.
I had to admit that I'm like a chick in my career.
He is working as a baseball commentator for the second year.
We'll look forward to your work as a commentator.
Please give him a big hand. Thank you so much.
(We hope you'll have another heyday as a commentator.)
Thank you.
(Jong Beum looks relieved.)
It was fun. It was fun to fool people.
Wasn't it?
(Laughs of satisfaction)
I used to play baseball in front of 30,000 or even 50,000 people.
It was the first time for me...
to stand and sing on the stage alone.
I don't think they expected it could be me.
I was nervous, of course. But the power of a mask...
was significant.
It loosened me up.
It made it funnier and happier.
(Next week)
(Music Commander faces the biggest hurdle.)
It's time for him to pass me his crown.
Do you feel you'll lose?
(Do you feel you'll lose?)
It might be hard to keep this throne.
(Really?)
(Touching performance)
(Amazing singing skills)
(Invincible contenders)
(Ta-da!)
(Will Music Commander jump the hurdle and keep his throne?)
Gosh, it's going to be dangerous today.
(To be continued on March 27)
