Last week.
It was full of diverse talents.
Performances in Round One were fun and exciting.
(Tap dance imitation)
However,
the duet song matches were competitive.
(The duet song matches were competitive.)
The winners prepare for the next round.
(The winners prepare for the next round.)
Poisonous Snow White.
Here Comes the Spring Girl.
Dumbfounded Heung Bu.
Little Puppet Pinocchio.
And...
The 22nd, 23rd and 24th King of Mask Singer,
Music Commander In My Town.
Fantastic baby
Netizens' expectations for the 25th King of Mask Singer.
According to the online mobile survey,
Music Commander In My Town earned the most votes...
for his amazing voice and ranked first.
Dumbfounded Heung Bu came in second.
They begin to show their true colours.
With completely different voices of masked singers from Round One,
The panellists are in confusion due to this twist.
She's amazing.
This is the emotion needed to beat the current King of Mask Singer.
Will Music Commander be able to maintain his throne...
four times consecutive as the King of Mask Singer?
I'm at a great risk today.
The unpredictable and competitive matches...
start right now.
The winner is...
(King of Mask Singer)
The singers will compete with...
nothing but their voices behind the masks.
The mysterious music show, King of Mask Singer.
Round Two, Semi-finals.
The first match begins now.
(Round Two begins now.)
First match of Round Two, Semi-finals.
She beat Kwon Sun Kook of Green Area...
with her enchanting voice.
Poisonous Snow White.
(Poisonous Snow White)
(She walks feebly as if she's nervous,)
(but she seems to gain energy from the cheers.)
(The audience's cheer encourages the masked singers.)
Round Two is where...
the singers begin to show their real talent.
They begin to show their true colours.
Now that she's more relaxed, she'll do even better.
She's really good. She's good at singing.
(Her voice is clear and strong.)
(She sang in a voice that suits her character as Snow White.)
Her voice is clear and straightforward.
I think she has quite a bit of experience in singing.
Isn't this a Fuji apple?
Mothers these days would say, "Honey, have an apple."
They wouldn't say "Here's a Fuji apple."
I think she's in her 40s.
(Her dance moves seem to support Gu Ra's guess.)
(Amidst the panellists' high expectations,)
(she stares nervously at the floor.)
(How will her second performance be?)
("I Will Love Everything" by Songolmae)
She's perfected her voice already.
(Her clear and powerful voice has gone and...)
(now she sings in a heavier and jazzy voice.)
How did she change her voice like that?
(How did she change her voice like that?)
(Was her voice like that before?)
(No, it was different.)
(Wow.)
(At her surprising transformation,)
(the panellists cannot help laughing.)
(Who is she?)
(House band)
She's amazing.
I'm getting goose bumps.
That's an excellent singing.
Her voice is very powerful.
(Who is it?)
(Yeah.)
- Yes. - Good.
(No one expected Snow White to sing such a powerful rock song.)
Oh my gosh!
(Oh my gosh!)
(Everyone is in shock.)
I love her voice.
(Sighing deeply)
- She is amazing. - Her voice sounds different now.
- Is she a different person? - Maybe they switched her.
(The panellists are in a state of confusion.)
Her opponent is...
a woman with a flower-like voice,
who defeated the announcer Chung In Young.
Here Comes the Spring Girl!
(Here Comes the Spring Girl)
(She walks modestly to the stage.)
(She greets shyly.)
(We've been waiting for you.)
Spring Girl is great, too!
Snow white sang so strongly, it must be harder for Spring girl.
She was so powerful.
Do you think she'll sing powerfully or try to show her musicality?
- She won't sing powerfully. - I think she'll go for musicality.
I agree.
(She has a slightly husky voice,)
(full of soul and groove.)
Her voice and breath made a perfect harmony.
I think she is in her mid-20s or early 30s.
- She reminds me of RIAA. - RIAA?
- It's MMM. MAMAMOO. - He's talking about MAMAMOO.
(She normally looks shy and modest,)
(but she gets too excited when she dances.)
She looks innocent. So innocent!
(Snow White just captivated the audience a few minutes ago.)
(She must be under a lot of pressure.)
(What will she show us in Round Two?)
("I'm Sorry" by Kim Gun Mo)
(They get excited only after hearing the first bar.)
(It is the emotional voice they've been waiting for.)
This is it! This is it.
(She is unbelievable.)
(Spring Girl's sentimental voice fills their hearts.)
(They can't stop smiling.)
(Wow!)
(They show their appreciation by giving her a round of applause.)
She is amazing.
(My heart aches listening to the song.)
(A standing ovation from panellists as her song touches their hearts)
(Cheers and applause start all over again.)
- She's good. - You don't need to be sorry.
- She is great. - Don't be sorry.
What should we do?
Who should we pick? This is too hard.
Of Round Two, Semi-finals, which has matches of solo performances,
the first match is just finished.
Poisonous Snow White became a charismatic rocker.
And Here Comes the Spring Girl swept the stage with her emotion.
Whose voice are we going to hear again in Round Three?
All votes are in.
Oh my goodness. Young Seok is crying again.
Oh no. It has been three weeks since the last time, hasn't it?
I tried hard to fight back my tears.
- Really? - Yes.
It is hard to sing a cheerful song cheerfully,
and it is hard to sing an eloquent song eloquently.
After all, that is the final goal for singers.
"My dear, you are my lady."
- It felt like she was my lady. - I see.
Maybe it's too soon to say this, but...
this is the emotion needed to defeat the current King of Mask Singer.
(Me?)
Are you talking about Music Commander?
You can't defeat him with vocal range.
You should defeat him with your emotion...
that has the power to make people cry.
I see. It could be her strategy.
When I heard Snow White's song,
I was not sure if she was the same person from Round One.
She completely changed her singing method.
She sounded warm in Round One.
She sounded like real Snow White, but now...
- she sounds like her stepmother. - She changed into her stepmother?
(Here comes my voice!)
(Painful, yet satisfying)
- Her voice? - Yes. She can sing very well.
- She sounds different? - She sounds totally different.
If she wore a different mask, no one would have noticed it.
When Snow White sang...
"For Now" by Seoul Family with Kwon Sun Kook,
she hid her real voice...
to make a better harmony with her partner.
I think she chose to sing in a different voice for that reason.
(Kwon Sun Kook has a sharp and husky voice.)
(It wouldn't make a good harmony if she sang with her real voice.)
I see. To differentiate her voice.
- Yes. To differentiate her voice. - I see.
And she applies pressure to let out her voice.
Who would be able to sing like her?
- There was a singer, Yoon Si Nae. - Yoon Si Nae?
(She directly lets her voice out.)
She could be Yoon Si Nae who sang "Passion".
Or she could be Do Won Kyung.
(Do Won Kyung also has a very direct way of vocalising.)
(Her name has been mentioned quite often.)
She could be Do Won Kyung.
- As for Spring Girl, - Spring Girl.
I said her voice and breath made...
- a perfect harmony. - Yes.
Her low notes definitely have that characteristic...
when she sang the low notes.
- I see. - But I found one more thing that...
she can also sing high notes very well. She seemed to tell us...
that she sings very well like this as if...
she was protesting.
Even though I don't know her face,
I can imagine that...
she widens her nostrils when she sings.
- Widen her nostrils? - That's right.
For an example, Lee Sora...
sings like this.
She does this.
- I see. - I understand what you are saying.
I'm saying this because she uses her voice freely...
like there isn't any blockage.
She is an amazing singer.
This week... What is up with this week?
- What's going on? - What's going to happen next week?
It started last week.
- I must talk to the producers. - It's hard to choose a victor.
- Seong Ju. - Yes?
"I'm Sorry" is a song...
to appreciate with great sentimentality.
But I personally don't like it...
when women say "I'm sorry."
- I don't like it. - That's your personal preference.
- That's right. I don't like it. - I see.
But listening to Spring Girl sing "I'm Sorry"...
made me think about how hard it must be for the man she's singing to.
It must be devastating.
I was listening with such sentiments.
I think Spring Girl might have...
made men suffer in despair.
That's the vibe I am getting.
In terms of expressing the feeling of a song,
Snow White is second only to that of Tina Turner or Janis Joplin.
That's how great she was.
(Snow White's performance was as engaging as Tina Turner's...)
(and as soulful as Janis Joplin's.)
Snow White from the fairy tale...
is a woman who benefits from meeting a prince.
- That's how she improved her life. - That's right.
- She is fragile, pale and pretty. - Right.
A prince riding on a white horse comes to kiss her.
- Then they live happily ever after. - You are right.
However,
this Snow White is so charismatic when she sings.
If she was Snow White in the fairy tale,
she would have spat out the poisoned apple.
"How dare you...
give me a poisoned apple?" She would have thrown the apple...
at the Queen's face. That's the kind of charisma she has.
- She is a woman with a temper. - Yes, and I can't help...
but love her charisma.
You fell for her charms again in Round Two.
After the first performance...
- of Round Two, - Compliments are pouring in.
panellists are showering the two masked singers with praises...
about their great singing skills.
Gianna Jun.
- Wan Kyu. - Yes?
What do you think of their singing skills? Since you are a rocker,
- you will make a good judge. - Flaunt your hair like this.
- I will rearrange your hair. - Don't do that.
- This is much better. - Gu Ra.
Paparazzi will love this shot.
Would that make him Kim Soo Hyun?
- "He is on a date with a woman." - Right.
Starting with Snow White, when she sang the first line,
she reminded me of Janis Joplin...
- like Gu Ra said. - She does sing like Janis Joplin.
So RIAA came to my mind.
RIAA.
She was mentioned last week as well.
RIAA was the singer who came to my mind,
but her singing style turned bluesy...
towards the end, which made me think about Jung Kyoung Hwa.
Jung Kyoung Hwa!
Jung Kyoung Hwa.
(Jung Kyoung Hwa has an intense and alluring voice.)
- Jung Kyoung Hwa. - Yes.
- She sang "Invitation to Myself". - Right.
But she is pretty old.
We can't tell from her costume.
That's right.
So you think she is either RIAA or Jung Kyoung Hwa.
Only those two can pull this off with such feelings.
I think Snow White did an excellent job.
But unfortunately,
when Spring Girl came on stage,
she sang in a voice that I love the most.
- Really? - Do you know who she is?
Spring Girl captured your heart.
- I don't know who she is. - Oh, you don't.
Despite knowing who she is,
your attention turned from Snow White to Spring Girl.
- From the first line. - She stole your heart.
Nayeon of TWICE,
what does your female intuition tell you?
When Spring Girl started to sing,
I was reminded of a singer with a husky voice...
who can sing very well.
- Who is it? - Who is it?
I was reminded of Hyo Lin.
- That's right. - Yes.
Hyo Lin of SISTAR.
(She has a very husky voice.)
(Hyo Lin of SISTAR is a talented vocalist.)
Hyo Lin of SISTAR.
The panellists have shared their guesses.
For this match,
the difference in votes...
is only seven votes.
It was a very close match.
Who will come out on top...
amongst these two very talented female masked singers?
The winner will be revealed now.
(She has transformed completely in Round Two as if...)
(a different person was singing.)
(Will this charismatic Snow White win?)
(Experts praised her perfectly balanced breathing.)
(Will Spring Girl with a sentimental voice win?)
Who will be the first masked singer...
to move on to Final Round?
The winner is...
Who is it?
(It was a close match.)
Who is the winner?
Between the two of them,
who will move on to the next round?
Who will be the first masked singer to join Final Round?
Will it be Snow White or Spring Girl?
The result is...
Spring Girl won.
(Screaming)
(Spring is here.)
(In despair)
You go Spring Girl.
With the score of 53 to 46...
and a difference of seven votes,
Spring Girl beats Snow White...
and moves on to Final Round.
Congratulations. Please go to your waiting room...
and get ready for the next round.
Give her a round of applause.
Spring Girl won.
(Spring Girl gracefully steps down from the stage.)
I will give you a better performance in Round Three.
Let's go.
Now, who is this charismatic singer...
who showed us a completely different performance in Round Two?
Who could Snow White be?
Please turn around.
Now,
Snow White,
please take off your mask...
and reveal your identity.
Her voice is clear and straightforward.
I think she has quite a bit of experience in singing.
Snow White is second to that of Tina Turner or Janis Joplin.
- I was reminded of Jung Kyoung Hwa. - Jung Kyoung Hwa.
- Yoon Si Ne. - Yoon Si Ne.
Or Do Won Kyung.
Reveal your identity.
(My goodness.)
She is...
(The audience is surprised.)
(What is going on?)
Who is she?
Who is she? I am already getting goose bumps.
- Who is she? - She is...
She is...
Yumi, the singer with 15 years of experience...
who sang "Love Is Always Thirsty".
Hello, everyone.
(The panellists are startled.)
She is Yumi.
(Why is everyone shocked?)
(That's right.)
- I... I... - I mentioned her last time.
- I mentioned her a few weeks ago. - That doesn't count.
I see.
Hello.
I am Yumi.
(She sang "Love Is Always Thirsty".)
(She sang the original soundtracks of "Master's Sun",)
( "200 Pounds Beauty", "Nine" and many more.)
(Despite many famous songs, her face was relatively unknown.)
He is here. You should hide.
(Now, she revealed her face and...)
(performed on King of Mask Singer.)
She was mentioned on the show many times.
- A few weeks ago, - It's Yumi.
Hyun Chul made it sound as if he knows a lot about Yumi.
- He did. - But he didn't even recognise her.
- I have an idea. - Who is she?
There is a singer named Yumi.
- She is too tall to be Yumi. - Her voice is different, too.
- Is that so? - Yumi is at least 10cm shorter.
Hyun Chul is a close friend of Yumi.
I heard that...
Yumi was very worried about Hyun Chul recognising her.
I should have known.
I sang four songs which you composed...
- and wrote the lyrics to. - You did.
Hyun Chul was careless.
- He made a grave mistake. - That's right.
Yumi is...
a popular singer whose face remained unknown.
How did it feel to sing with a mask?
I had a lot of fun.
It was so much fun to sing with a band.
Like the panellists said,
I couldn't resist the temptation to move with the flow.
Those who have heard her songs...
and thought, "She has an amazing voice"...
will be able to...
put a face to a voice...
through today's episode.
We hope to hear your charming voice for many days to come.
It was an honour to sing before...
Park Wan Kyu, Yu Young Seok, Jang Ho Il and Kim Hyun Chul.
- I am very thankful and happy. - It was an honour.
- Thank you. - Give her a round of applause.
- She is great. - This was Yumi.
Thank you for your hard work.
(We hope to see your face more often.)
(Yumi's face displays many emotions.)
(It seems like she is wiping away her tears.)
I was in a need for praises...
because these days, everyone expects...
a singer of my age to sing well.
When I was young, everyone told me...
that I am a great singer.
But as I got older,
the praises became less frequent.
From now on, I won't insist on singing only ballad songs.
Whatever the genre may be,
I will have fun and challenge myself musically.
I want to overcome my limits.
I got to think this way for the first time.
I think I could enjoy singing from now on.
In Round Two,
Here Comes the Spring Girl defeated Yumi...
and moved on to Round Three.
The second match of Round Two, Semi-finals.
His astounding voice...
defeated Rich.
Dumbfounded Heung Bu.
(Dumbfounded Heung Bu)
(Heung Bu makes a modest appearance.)
(The audience gives him an enthusiastic welcome.)
Here he comes, Heung Bu!
I'm so curious.
Look at the way he stands.
- I know. - You saw it, right?
He stands like this. Diagonally.
That's why I think he is a rocker.
(Heung Bu's thin but husky voice...)
(heated up the stage.)
His voice tone will be good...
for both melancholy...
and lyrical music.
He is a member of a band or a group.
Idol singers have a typical pose.
They make this pose before singing to show the explosion of energy.
- Something like this. - Is this it? Are you posing?
(Is this a typical pose of idol singers?)
- This is before the explosion. - Right before the explosion.
This is before the explosion. He's making the pose.
(This man made the panellists get confused.)
(What will he show us this time?)
("To Heaven" by Jo Sung Mo)
(His tone has softened.)
(His clear voice expresses deep emotions.)
(He sings with ease and sweetness.)
He seems to be highly experienced in singing solo on stage.
(Is he experienced in singing solo on stage?)
(His sweet voice resonates through the studio.)
(He has a beautiful voice that brightens up the sky.)
Amazing!
It's so beautiful.
("To Heaven" by Heung Bu)
He sang well and so calmly.
- His pose is the same throughout. - He doesn't change it at all.
- He sounds like a nice guy. - Yes.
A nice guy.
His opponent...
beat the actor, Kang Dong Ho.
His voice will move and enchant you.
Little Puppet Pinocchio.
(Little Puppet Pinocchio)
(Let's do this.)
(The audience erupts in cheers.)
I'm looking forward to his performance.
He is a dark horse.
- The impersonator of Cho Yong Pil. - He has fans already.
How can such thick voice come out of his body?
It was shocking to hear the voice come out of that mask.
A children's song goes well with his looks.
(He crushed all stereotypes against his looks.)
(He freely oscillates from using chest voice to falsetto.)
(The song was too easy for him.)
I think we have one of the masters of singing.
He has a small frame. Considering his build,
- He's a member of ULALA SESSION. - ULALA SESSION?
(He impersonates Cho Yong Pil and tap-dances at the same time.)
If you turn around
(They burst out laughing.)
My heart bounces so fast I'm going crazy
(The two panellists' expectations are high for this dark horse.)
(What song will he sing?)
("Today Again" by Lee Seung Chul)
(The thick voice holds a deep groove.)
(He is full of confidence...)
(and skilfully controls the tempo.)
(His great singing skills and exciting rhythm...)
(enliven the stage.)
(Everybody gets cheerful.)
Let's party.
(He sings falsetto as well as Farinelli.)
(Wow!)
(He plays the stage at his will.)
(He follows the groove.)
(This evening...)
(is suddenly full of excitement.)
(Pinocchio is the best.)
- That's my man Pinocchio! - He's so good!
He's really something.
He's really good.
(The song still lingers in his head.)
Do we have to choose one again?
The second match of Round Two of Semi-finals has ended.
Between the two characters from fairy tales,
who would you vote for?
Make up your mind and press your button please.
All votes are in.
I think they have shown...
their specialties to the fullest.
- Hyun Chul. - As for Heung Bu,
A bit of nasal voice...
is his specialty...
and a characteristic that represents his voice.
You said that he's a middle-aged solo singer...
because of the way he holds his microphone.
I stand by my opinion.
- He holds the microphone like this. - But...
- But this is... - This is...
so called "Nam Bo Won grip".
- It goes like this. - That's right.
- "Boo-boo" like this. - Yes, like that.
(The characteristic of so called "Nam Bo Won grip" is...)
(that the mike is held very closely to the mouth.)
(They are the same.)
He covers his nose a bit.
Because he covers his nose whilst singing,
it's natural to have nasal voice.
Maybe he intentionally holds the mike that way to have that effect.
- That's right. - Oh, okay.
As for Pinocchio, I said before...
that he sings in falsetto and chest voice freely,
and I wonder how high he can sing with falsetto.
Now he's saying outright that he can sing really high notes.
- Right. - Can anybody sing higher than me?
- You are right. - Maybe you, Park Wan Kyu?
I could feel his spirit.
- He's really enjoying the music. - I see.
But last week you said he sounded like...
he'd gone through many hardships.
When he mimicked Cho Yong Pil last week...
Right! You really liked it.
(He tap-dances.)
(What is this skill?)
(He gave up his dignity and talent!)
As I watched that, I thought maybe he has struggled...
- Right. - and has been through a lot.
- That's what I figured. - I see.
Because everybody liked it so much,
- he prepared a sequel. - Is that so?
- It will be revealed soon. - Let's find out later.
- Tune in for his performance. - Gosh, a sequel.
Young Seok and Hyun Chul, please stay tuned.
I want to add an opinion.
It's possible that Heung Bu...
is an idol singer...
and that's why he's not used to the hand mike.
Your guess hasn't changed from last week that...
he's an idol singer based on his posture...
- and the way he holds the mike. - Yes, that's right.
- And that he's from a group. - Right.
- Oh, what? V? - Yes.
Who is V?
- You mean VIXX? - Oh, VIXX.
(This idol group doesn't use hand mikes...)
(because of an intense choreography to show the energy.)
- That's what you guessed. - I got that impression.
- Right. - As for Pinocchio,
I was surprised when he made...
a noise like a nightingale whilst he was singing.
She's right.
When he sang in falsetto like a bird,
I thought a bird would fly to him and sit on his nose.
(Today)
(She's astonished.)
(Ethereal voice flew past my frontal lobe...)
(and sat on Pinocchio's nose.)
Although both of them use chest voice and falsetto freely,
the falsetto and chest voice within Heung Bu's vocal range...
are especially very difficult.
He expresses a song in a gentle way like...
the gentleness of a young and innocent boy.
He showed that throughout his song.
- Innocence of a young boy. - That's right.
- What about Pinocchio? - For Pinocchio,
he had confidence to bring a song...
that might have put him at risk of losing,
and turned it into a great performance.
This tells me that he's very confident with his voice.
- He's after the throne of the king. - Okay, I see.
- First-time panellist, Ho Il? - Yes?
- Some people say you have... - Yes.
- blunt and textbook comments. - Really?
Your comments were not to the point,
- but they were rather vague. - Okay.
That's what people pointed out.
It's my nature.
I can't pinpoint something directly.
I need you to be more keen.
I think Pinocchio...
knows that he sings very well.
He's here to let the world know.
- That's what Young Seok said. - That's right.
- Okay, then. - Right.
I have nothing to say then.
(He's out of comments.)
Why don't you take the risk...
- and give us a clear point? - Well, I thought at first...
- that Heung Bu... - Heung Bu!
- was a member of a dance group. - Okay.
Now I think he could be a vocalist from a band.
- So, he's from band, not a group? - Yes, I thought so because...
the way he's standing wasn't for dancing...
but for singing in front of a microphone stand.
- He's observant! - That was a keen comment!
That's what we're asking for.
- He couldn't be more precise. - Now you are talking.
- That was very precise. - Yes, indeed.
Now I see his expertise.
Now I can relax a little.
As for Heung Bu,
when I saw him last week,
I also thought he's an idol singer for sure.
But now there is a different person on my mind.
- Who? - He is a singer I used to like.
- Who's that? - I thought of Kim Hyun Sung.
- Kim Hyun Sung! - Oh, right.
(He's a singer with a beautiful voice...)
(who led rock ballad genre in 1990s.)
I thought Heung Bu might be Kim Hyun Sung.
- As for Pinocchio, - He's sharp, too.
He plays with the tune so well. He's the master.
There's no need to say anymore.
In the book "Pinocchio",
Pinocchio starts a journey to find his true self.
I think this Pinocchio went to Atlanta in the States.
Atlanta is famous for funky music.
- Oh, right. - So I think he played on streets.
- Trained on streets. - Of course.
(Did Pinocchio train himself...)
(from busking as a street musician?)
In this vibe,
Pinocchio is saying that this is the moment to show them.
He told us already that he will show us an improvised tap dance.
Heung Bu, however, is worried...
that his specialty won't gain much attention...
and said that he wants to do something first.
He will dance whilst beat boxing.
Are you ready?
(He releases tension in his neck.)
(Bus to bus, bust to bus.)
(He is quite good!)
(He moves his leg to the beat.)
(Bouncing)
(It isn't over yet.)
What was that just now?
- What's that? - I don't know. Why did you stop?
- He's out of breath. - Oh, you are out of breath.
- He says he needs to take a breath. - Are you done?
(He screams.)
(Scatting)
- What's this? - He's done now.
It wasn't easy for him to do two things at the same time.
Whose tap dance will you show us today?
Today, it's Kim Jong Seo's tap dance.
- It's Kim Jong Seo's tap dance. - I can tell it's going to be funny.
- Tap dancing Kim Jong Seo. - I'm laughing already.
Right. Okay.
(Fluttering)
(Today)
(She is checking if the two panellists are laughing.)
(They are not laughing yet.)
(Loss of confidence)
Hey Yujin
Pinocchio, Cho Yong Pil is the best for you.
Does Cho Yong Pil suit him better?
- He said Cho Yong Pil is better. - It's better.
- I'll go with "Mona Lisa". - Right, okay.
Let's see Cho Yong Pil tap dancing whilst singing "Mona Lisa".
(Fluttering)
- You don't answer my love - That's it! Isn't that great?
(It's so funny.)
(Fluttering)
(It's still funny.)
(Mona Lisa)
- This is it. - You are drooling.
Tap dancing Cho Yong Pil is perfect for you.
Gianna Jun, you look satisfied as well.
I enjoyed it very much.
- I think you'd better stick to... - Right.
Cho Yong Pil's tap dance for the future events.
Well noted.
Go and get some air! You are still laughing.
- Go! Get out! - They are still laughing.
- It's funny just thinking about it. - Get out!
- Gianna is talking now! - Hyun Chul, wait.
Calm down first, then come back. Gosh, they are so into him.
Two men in their 40s,
who are getting close to 50...
are laughing until they can't breathe.
It's perfect for their taste.
I was talking and they were laughing so hard behind me.
(They are almost crying at the back.)
Whilst we were having fun,
the results for the second match...
of Round Two, Semi-finals...
came out.
Heung Bu and Pinocchio.
Who will be the winner between...
these two fairy tale heroes?
Let's see the results.
(With the ambiance of a young boy,)
(Heung Bu graced us with his refreshing voice.)
(Showing strong and deep grooves,)
(Pinocchio showed off his great talent.)
Between Dumbfounded Heung Bu...
and Little Puppet Pinocchio,
the winner of this match who moves on to Round Three...
is...
Who is it?
(The results are unpredictable.)
Is it Heung Bu or Pinocchio?
The winner is...
Pinocchio has won.
(There're always mingled feelings of joy and sorrow about the result.)
Yes.
Pinocchio has won.
Pinocchio.
(Sound the fanfare...)
(for Pinocchio.)
Pinocchio has beaten Heung Bu.
The votes were 64 versus 35.
Pinocchio has beaten Heung Bu.
You have to get ready for Round Three.
Please tap-dance off the stage.
Good.
His tap dance is earning a lot of love.
(Incredible.)
(Sighing)
I was really nervous.
Really.
Who is Heung Bu?
We will reveal his face now.
(Curious)
Heung Bu, please remove your mask...
and show us who you are.
He has the gentleness that a young boy has.
I think his nasal sound...
is what defines his voice.
I think he's a vocal in a band.
I was reminded of Kim Hyun Sung.
Kim Hyun Sung?
V?
You mean VIXX?
I think it will be shocking.
It will shock us.
(Who is he?)
Is he an idol or a band singer?
This is...
(Oh my goodness.)
This is...
Heung Bu, please remove your mask...
and show us who you are.
This is...
Leo from the boy group VIXX, which has five years of experience.
I was right. It's Leo.
(He was an idol singer.)
(Nice to meet you, Leo.)
I got it right.
Yes.
(You are great.)
Hello, I'm Leo, the main vocal of VIXX.
Hi.
(A performance idol group that debuted in 2012)
(Leo from VIXX)
(As we can see from the songs "Vampire", "Jekyll and Hyde",)
(and "Voodoo Doll", the group is known for their uniqueness.)
(Leo, a rising star of idol vocals)
It was a new experience, right? How was it?
It was a completely new feeling...
since my debut.
I was afraid and didn't know what to do.
- I couldn't breathe properly. - Okay.
It was a new feeling.
Leo had a special reason...
for wanting to come out on King of Mask Singer.
VIXX is only known for our unique concept and performance,
so I wanted to let people know that we love music too.
Leo is normally...
a very shy person.
(His nickname is Head-top Fairy.)
(He only has photos of the top of his head.)
Today was the day...
he showed the best of his talent and ability.
It must have been hard for you.
But with this mask on,
I felt like I had to do it all.
Really? Did the mask make you dance?
- A little bit. - Alright.
Your collapsing after the beat box was hilarious.
See? It's hilarious.
He always collapses like that.
Then could you show us the beat box again?
That was it.
(He tries to block all chances to show his specialty in advance.)
- He's afraid to do it again. - Please clap for him.
Okay.
(We'll be disappointed if he doesn't show us again.)
(Laughing)
Have some confidence.
Let's go again.
(With renewed confidence)
Is he doing it?
(The shy Leo is gone...)
(and a hip-hop warrior is in front of us.)
That's it. That's it.
That's how you do it.
He's really good.
A lot of us suspected...
- he would be a vocal in a band. - That's true.
Have you ever been in a band?
Your voice sounds like that of a rocker.
No, I've never been in a band.
You must be busy singing as the main vocal...
and performing and dancing with the group.
I think the fact that we all thought...
he'd be a solo singer is...
- a great compliment of his talent. - Thank you.
Today, Leo has overcome his usual shyness...
and made a great performance...
where he showed us all his great talent.
Please give him a round of applause.
- Great job today. - Thank you.
(He says goodbye politely.)
(Goodbye, Head-top Fairy.)
I do think I could have done better,
but more than that, I feel liberated.
I've always thought that the most important thing is a unique concept.
So I was more nervous today...
than the time when VIXX had our comeback stage...
at the thought of covering my face...
and singing with my true voice.
(Thinking)
I feel like I've conquered...
a new forest land.
I don't know how to describe this.
(Since he's shy, we'll let him go.)
Little Puppet Pinocchio beats Leo from VIXX...
and moves on to Round Three.
The mysterious music show, King of Mask Singer.
We will now call back the two semi-finalists...
who will compete to go against and threaten...
the 24th King of Mask Singer
to the stage.
Please welcome them with a round of applause.
(Spring Girl versus Pinocchio)
(Walking joyfully)
(Walking calmly)
Spring Girl and Pinocchio.
They both have small frames,
but they've both shown us explosive energy on stage.
Spring Girl, how do you feel about coming this far to Round Three?
To be honest, I think I was very lucky...
to come all the way here.
Now that I'm here,
I am all ready to try my best and show the best performance.
Okay. Pinocchio?
You've come all the way...
- to Round Three. - Yes.
How do you feel?
My initial objective was Round One.
- Yes. - Really?
Yes, so I don't have high expectations,
but I will try my best.
I'm happy with my special talent, tap dance.
So I'm fine.
You've tap-danced since last week.
Right.
- You have nothing to lose. - Right. I'm content with tap dance.
Okay.
- Music Commander? - Yes.
We have a very charming female candidate,
- Spring Girl on Round Three today. - Right.
How do you feel? Are you moved at all?
I was very moved,
but I have to be focused.
Are you rooting for Spring Girl in this match?
I root for...
all women out there,
wherever they are.
- Okay. - He is very consistent.
- He is consistent. - He knows how to get the girls.
- He's consistent. - You must be very popular...
amongst ladies.
Who will go against the King of Mask Singer?
We will now begin Round Three,
the Final Round.
Let's first see...
Spring Girl's performance.
Please give her a round of applause.
(Final Round)
Please do well.
I'm excited for this one.
(Everyone is looking forward to Spring Girl's third performance.)
(What will Spring Girl sing this time?)
("Rainy Season" by Jung In)
(Wow.)
(Her powerful husky voice...)
(is full of souls.)
(This is...)
She is the best.
(This is the best.)
Wow, it feels great.
(Her voice is amazing.)
She is really good at singing.
I want to hear her voice every day.
(Holding their hands)
(Her plaintive voice touches the hearts of audience.)
(Sighing deeply)
(They didn't know this song had such sad lyrics.)
(It is breathtaking.)
(Her voice wet their hearts like pouring rain.)
(Impressed)
I love it. I love it so much.
- It's nice. - Yes.
She chose a great song, too.
She knows what song she should sing.
I didn't know the song had such good lyrics.
Her opponent is...
a man who defeated Kang Dong Ho and Leo of VIXX.
He's got an unbelievable voice like his nose.
Little Puppet Pinocchio!
(Little Puppet Pinocchio)
(Walking confidently)
(Pinocchio, we believe in you!)
It won't be easy for Pinocchio.
He will change his voice, too.
- I'm excited to hear his song. - I know.
(He exudes his energy from his slim body.)
(Would Pinocchio be able to...)
(make people forget Spring Girl's impressive performance?)
("After Love" by Deulgukhwa)
(He also chose a powerful song.)
What am I supposed to do?
They are panicking.
Today's songs are heart-wrenching.
(They are knocked down again by the plaintive voice.)
(What should we do?)
(He pours out a painful cry singing.)
(They can't even breathe listening to the song.)
(He sings in falsetto confessing a heartrending sorrow.)
(His performance was overwhelming and breathtaking.)
Why did he do that?
Gosh.
(Dizzy)
This is crazy.
What should I do?
Oh my gosh.
Final Round is finally over.
Now you should select...
a masked singer who will sing...
against the King of Mask Singer who is seeking his fourth victory.
Please press your button...
for the masked singer who needs to be the 25th King of Mask Singer.
Hyun Chul is not pressing the button.
You don't need to see other people.
Just press the button for the singer you like.
Yoon Seok, press the button. Who will go into the Final Match...
and sing against Music Commander?
All votes are in.
It is Round Three, Final Round.
Okay then. Music Commander,
please go back to the waiting room and prepare for the next round.
Please give him a round of applause.
(See you soon!)
It seems like Young Seok was moved to tears.
How did you like their performances?
I loved it.
Spring Girl's...
husky voice added...
a touch of yearning to the song.
(A touch of yearning)
If her husky voice comes from having a sore throat,
I hope her throat remains sore.
- I see. - Please don't change.
Anyone with a desire...
to become a singer...
would want her voice. Thank you.
What did you think of Pinocchio's performance?
Pinocchio's interpretation was different from that of Jun In Kwon.
He sang the song...
as if it were a mix...
between rock and R&B.
He created a different version of "After Love".
I see. I can tell that you are moved by their performances.
Amongst panellists,
Hyun Chul couldn't choose a victor.
Whether a masked singer becomes the king...
and whether he or she performs again next week...
depend on the choices we make.
I couldn't help but think...
that we are burdened with a cruel task.
I will talk about Pinocchio first.
He has mastered both falsetto and chest voice.
He is not afraid of switching from chest voice to falsetto...
and vice versa.
(After hitting high notes with falsetto,)
(he switched to chest voice.)
(He switched back to falsetto...)
(then chest voice.)
I am confident that...
if he sings "After Love" 100 times,
he will sound the same in those 100 performances.
I see.
He will sound the same.
I enjoyed his performance very much.
If Spring Girl sings the song 100 times,
she will sound different in all 100 performances.
I see.
She delivered the performance...
as she became one with the song.
I loved her performance.
Their performances were enough to make...
Music Commander think,
"What should I do?"
- These masked singers' talents... - That's right.
pose a threat to the king.
Ho Il, it was your first time to watch Round Three unfold.
I am very happy to be here.
As for Pinocchio,
we have already established that he has great singing skills.
He performance is perfect.
Here is a thing about Spring Girl. When she begins to sing,
the entire studio...
- becomes a stage of her own. - I see.
It feels as though we get sucked into her performance.
She commands the stage with her presence.
Only when her performance is over, we come to our senses.
She has that allure.
Spring Girl and Pinocchio have very different charms.
- Their performances made me happy. - It's different in real life?
It really is.
Their choices of a song for Round Three...
surprised me.
To compete against the king,
you would think that it is logical...
to pick a popular and well-known song...
so that they can receive a high score from panellists.
But their choices reflected their personal preference.
I think their choices...
allowed for performances of integrity...
which resulted in transforming King of Mask Singer...
to a music show of a different class.
If I keep on talking,
it will seem as if I am personally interested in Spring Girl.
So I will stop.
They are wonderful singers. Thank you for your hard work.
Are you personally interested in Spring Girl?
Listening to her voice makes my heart ache.
From the back, it just looks like two women are talking.
(Spring Girl and Gianna Jun)
It seemed like Gu Ra was lost in thoughts...
- during their performances. - It's hard to describe what I felt.
Korean is a language with many beautiful expressions,
but it's still difficult to describe their performances with words.
I am pondering about...
how I should express my feelings.
Saying that Spring Girl is enchanting and intoxicating...
does not come close...
to describing her musical abilities.
I was watching her with a telescope,
but every inch of her body is covered.
I wonder what secret she holds...
for her to be wrapped in so many layers.
Her performance was outstanding.
And earlier, Pinocchio made people laugh convulsively.
(Middle-aged men loved his tap dance.)
(Giggling)
- After showing us funny tap dance, - That's right.
he sang so sadly on the stage.
I could tell that he has experienced many struggles in his life.
People who have struggled recognise one another.
There must be a connection.
- That's right. - I see.
Someone who has struggled in life...
can recognise his kind miles away.
I am serious.
The struggles don't necessarily mean financial difficulties.
There are many types of struggles in life.
When he alternated between falsetto and chest voice,
I felt as if I was alternating between life and death.
- You felt connected to him. - That's right.
All right. Now,
it's time to announce the result.
Who is the winner...
of Final Round?
My goodness,
had three people voted differently,
the outcome would have changed.
There is a difference of five votes.
Five votes determined the victor.
I will announce...
the victor amongst these two masked singers...
who will compete in Final Match to become the 25th king.
(The result will be revealed now.)
(She has a husky and powerful voice.)
(Spring Girl moved everyone.)
(Pinocchio has a deep and thick vibrato.)
(He alternated between falsetto and chest voice.)
Who won with five more votes?
Who is the winner of Final Round?
The winner is...
(King of Mask Singer)
Who will be eliminated?
It's hard to watch.
My heart is aching.
(It will be sad to eliminate any one of them.)
Music Commander's rival...
(It was a close match.)
and the winner of Final Round is...
(Who is the winner?)
Music Commander's rival and the winner of Final Round...
is...
(Spring Girl won.)
Spring Girl won.
(Spring Girl wins in spring.)
(Screaming)
Spring Girl won.
With a final score of 52 to 47,
Spring Girl beat Pinocchio...
and moved on to Final Match.
Spring Girl, please retire to the back of the stage...
and enjoy the king's performance.
Give her a round of applause.
(You did a good job.)
(She feels faint.)
(Spring Girl's legs give out.)
Do you feel sad or regretful?
No, I am glad that my tap dance was a hit.
- Your tap dance was a hit. - That's right.
You received a lot of love with your tap dance.
You were recognised for a skill you mastered since primary school.
All right. It's time to reveal...
Pinocchio's identity. Please come to the back.
All right.
Little Puppet Pinocchio,
please take off your mask and reveal your identity.
The main vocalist of ULALA SESSION...
- has a body like his. - ULALA SESSION?
(He charmed middle-aged men with tap dance.)
He has struggled in his life.
People who have struggled recognise one another.
Reveal your identity.
(Who could Pinocchio be?)
- He is a member of ULALA SESSION. - Reveal your identity.
He is a member of ULALA SESSION.
He is...
Gu Ra must be right.
He is...
a singer with 13 years of experience, Park Ji Heon of V.O.S.
(He's not from ULALA SESSION.)
(We got it wrong again.)
(Surprised)
This is incredible.
(Everyone is excited to see an unexpected face.)
This is Park Ji Heon of V.O.S.
(His group rose to fame through "Show Survival" in 2007.)
(V.O.S is a three-member ballad group.)
("Look Me in the Eye", "Every Day" and "Beautiful Life" were popular.)
(The team was popular for their deep sensibility and singing ability.)
(All three of the original members got together and came back.)
(V.O.S's leader Park Ji Heon)
- Park Ji Heon. - Yes.
You are getting more and more similar to the actor Kim Kap Soo.
Kim Kap Soo?
- Does he look like Kim Kap Soo? - Yes, he does.
- You showed great singing skills. - Thank you.
He has recently made a comeback...
as a member of V.O.S.
Why did you want to come on King of Mask Singer?
The first reason is...
to promote the comeback of V.O.S.
- We are reunited after seven years. - I see.
(He wants to promote the reunion of V.O.S.)
The original members were reunited.
And he is here to promote the reunion of his team.
Gu Ra said he could feel that...
you had gone through a lot because he had, too.
When he said that, I felt as if he saw inside me.
I was so dying to sing...
that I once sent emails to community service centres everywhere.
I offered...
them to sing for free.
So I visited 13 cities to sing all over the country.
- I did kind of a national tour. - I see.
The last seven years I spent doing that...
will be...
great resources and motive for our group to go on.
I believe so.
What I meant by he had gone through a lot...
is that he has overcome a lot already...
and reached to happiness.
He reached to the state of nirvana.
All right.
He found enlightenment.
His experience must have provided nourishment for his music.
- My experience helped me, too. - I see.
Is it true that you have 3 sons and 1 daughter already?
He has 4 children. He's a father of 4 kids.
We recently had our fourth child, the only daughter.
He has many kids.
He is doing a good thing for the country.
He's an icon for fertility.
You could call that a part of my ups and downs.
No, I don't think so.
- I did my best. - When you sang as a solo,
you were raising your kids at the same time.
Did you experience any difficulties?
As many of you know,
I made public that I had the first child after four years he was born.
I still feel sorry for my first child.
I have few memories with him during the four years.
Now I try to give more love to him.
I want to make up for what I couldn't do for him.
Of course, I'm here...
to promote V.O.S.
Also, my first child talked about this show all the time.
His name is Gyu Chan.
He asked me when I'd show on King of Mask Singer.
I answered him...
that I was not confident of winning the competition.
Still, he wanted to watch me sing on this show.
When he said "Still",
I realised that I don't have to win.
I just wanted to show my son that I did my best.
I wanted to set an example of doing the best for my son.
- That's why I'm here. - I understand.
He has an outstanding voice.
He has been born again as a great singer and father.
Please give a big hand...
to Park Ji Heon of V.O.S.
Thank you.
(You were wonderful!)
Thank you.
It was great to see you all.
Most of all,
I'm grateful to the panellists for welcoming me with open arms.
I feel very nice.
Very nice.
King of Mask Singer is the best.
It's the best show.
In Round Three,
Here Comes the Spring Girl beat Park Ji Heon...
and advanced to Final Match.
We'll have Final Match to decide the 25th King of Mask Singer.
Music Commander In My Town...
is going to sing for his fourth successive win.
(The King of Mask Singer is going to sing to defend his title.)
(He gives a standing ovation.)
The final Match for the 25th King of Mask Singer.
Beyond his own town but across the country.
Beyond the country but across the world, he goes forward.
The 24th King of Mask Singer aims at the fourth consecutive win.
Music Commander In My Town.
(The audience greets him with hearty cheers.)
(The female audience goes wild.)
I hope...
he could make everybody here go crazy.
Doesn't he scare you now?
He's gaining more force.
He's cute, too.
Behind the cute mask,
there is a ruthless singer.
What will he sing?
I'm curious.
(She lets out a deep breath.)
(His mask looks cute, but his singing frightens any opponent.)
(His unique performance is going to unfold.)
("Don't Cry" by The Cross)
(This song!)
(Music Commander is going to sing a love song.)
(His heavy low voice touches your heart.)
(For a leaving lover,)
(it's a restrained but heartbreaking confession.)
(He shouts his love for all he is worth.)
(We had so far heard his powerful singing.)
(But today, he expresses deep feelings and sensibility.)
(He is great.)
(He has to let go of his lover.)
(He cries out of pain.)
(This love song is stronger and more pure than anything.)
(Music Commander's rock ballad resounds in everyone's heart.)
(His knees even buckled.)
The air is full of rock's blessing!
(Everyone's heart is too full for words.)
He really is a Music Commander!
Why are you like that again?
(She is silent with her eyes full of tears.)
Bong Sun is crying again.
Final Match has ended.
Vote for the voice...
that you think deserves to be the 25th King of Mask Singer and...
that you want to hear again!
Will Music Commander succeed the four consecutive wins?
Or will Here Comes the Spring Girl...
be a new King of Mask Singer?
All votes are in.
How did panellists enjoy the stage?
Shall Chae Yeon speak first?
- Did you call me? - Yes, right.
I'm still a bit absentminded now.
That's right. That's why I'm asking you.
He can sing really low notes,
so I wondered if he can sing high notes at the end.
I thought he might sing falsetto.
When I heard him singing "Forever" part,
I thought that this song is so done.
When he screamed in chest voice, I got a shock.
Everybody would associate him with high notes first but...
he overturned it and...
used a truly attractive low tone...
to drag the audience.
(His low tone is like torpedo in the deep ocean.)
(By a word, it gives heart attack.)
He drags the audience and keep them inside him...
but people still expect.
(For those who expect high notes from him)
He gives more to the people...
who expect his high notes in a certain way.
(His song was picture perfect.)
I think he's a scary person.
Hyun Chul, how did you enjoy his stage?
How can he sing high notes...
without missing a tune?
I want to study...
about his vocal cords.
- You want to study him. - That's right.
Kyung Hwan, you sang along with him the whole time.
I did it because...
people who feel confident about singing...
go to karaoke and sing "She's Gone"...
or the...
"Don't Cry" by The Cross.
(Both karaoke go-to songs are famous for high note.)
- I love this song very much... - Right.
- and know where it gets high. - Right, right.
I felt like I was riding a roller coaster.
You know it will go down eventually but...
it climbs up and up until it slides down.
(He was getting ready to hear high notes.)
(Screaming)
(Excited)
(Super high notes made body shiver even when we know the song.)
I felt like riding a roller coaster.
- Right, right. - I loved it.
I heard lots of songs myself, and...
his voice reminded me of...
a group called Queensryche...
and one of its members, Geoff Tate.
- Oh, right. - Yes, right.
(American metal band Queensryche debuted in 1983.)
(The band's vocal, Geoff Tate is a role model of shouting.)
He's a perfect vocalist who sings from low notes to high notes.)
I got that impression very much.
- Oh, right. - So I think they...
aren't exactly battling.
Rather, they are like Josephine next to Napoleon.
That's what I felt.
They go really well together.
They shouldn't battle.
I have a question for Music Commander.
- Do you have a question? - Yes, I do.
Are you...
one of us?
(Obvious question came out of blue.)
- Isn't that too obvious? - I think that's...
too obvious.
If you are one of us,
someone wanted me to tell you this.
- I see. - I met...
a giant in our world, Yim Jae Beum a few days ago.
And when I said that I would come to this show,
he told me that if I happen to meet him,
he wanted me to tell you that he thanks you.
If you are a rocker, he thanks you...
- for fighting for rock music. - I see.
He wanted to say thank you.
I see.
I think he's a rocker.
And also,
Jae Beum watches the show real time every week.
- Is that so? - King of Mask Singer.
- Right, right. - And I asked if he wants to come.
What did he say?
(Is Yim Jae Beum interested in coming to the show?)
He sang me a song.
Tell them I'm not coming
He cared to sing me a trot song.
Although he said so,
he may come to the show with a mask on.
Let's not prejudge him.
Are you still interested in Spring Girl?
I don't know if she's our side as well,
but my heart is always...
(My heart is always...)
You are already...
- Yes, I am. - You are already on her side.
(Only Spring Girl can make my heart beat.)
Everyone who loves high notes...
knows "Don't Cry" by The Cross.
But the song wasn't that popular.
I think Music Commander...
has chosen the song for a reason.
Kim Hyuk Gun, the vocalist of the band,
was completely paralyzed in a traffic accident.
Now he got better and sings...
on a wheelchair.
So I guess he chose this song...
to introduce the band, The Cross...
to a lot of people...
here in this show, King of Mask Singer.
I could feel his consideration.
(The stage showed the King of Mask Singer's warm heart.)
I will reluctantly announce...
the result of your choice.
Which masked singer...
did your unbiased heart choose?
I'll announce the 25th King of Mask Singer...
right now!
(It's time to announce the 25th King of Mask Singer!)
Who's the winner?
(Round One's "Tell Me Tell Me" was fresh like spring.)
(She showed appealing voice in Round Two.)
(Eagerness in "I'm Sorry"' doubled because of the voice.)
(She delivers the lyric so well that it impales on the heart.)
(Round Three's "Rainy Season" showed evolved emotion.)
(Emotional vocalist with husky voice, it's Spring Girl.)
(Emotional low note knocks softly,)
(more innocently...)
(and strongly than anyone!)
(Music Commander sang painful love.)
(He showed a new side of him with emotional rock ballad.)
The voice you chose,
the 25th King of Masked Singer...
is...
(Everyone stand up...)
(and wait for the 25th King of Mask Singer whilst praying.)
(Will Music Commander win four times in a row?)
(Or will there be new Queen of Mask Singer for spring?)
Would Music Commander succeed in winning four times in a row...
or would Spring Girl stop his successive winning...
and be a new heroine?
The result is...
Will Music Commander have fourth successive win?
Or will Spring Girl open a new era?
(The 25th King of Mask Singer is...)
(King of Mask Singer.)
(Music Commander In My Town won!)
Music Commander won!
(Music Commander won four times in a row!)
(It's the same as Cleopatra and Cosmos.)
(Some sincerely congratulate him...)
(and some feel sorry to let Spring Girl go.)
Forever
Music Commander is the winner.
It was 67 to 32.
Music Commander defeated Spring Girl.
Music Commander succeeds to...
win four successive times.
I will deliver a gold mask and a gown.
He sits on the throne for the fourth time.
He's won four times in a row.
He's amazing.
I'd like a comment, please.
Thank you so much.
You all were very kind.
Actually, coming to King of Mask Singer...
makes me nervous.
I never slept more than two hours at home.
Also, I prepare 10 before the show,
but on stage I can show only six or seven.
I blame myself always...
because I want to show you a perfect stage...
but I fail to do so every time.
I was very lucky...
so thank you and I'm sorry.
- And you were so beautiful today. - Oh, right.
He cheered for his competitor, Spring Girl.
Music Commander will leave the stage now...
to march.
Please give Music Commander a big hand again.
(He bids everyone goodbye and marches off stage.)
He has once again become the 25th King of Mask Singer.
Music Commander has set a record of four consecutive victories.
Which song will he come back with next time?
We all look forward to next week.
(He is now used to marching off the stage.)
(At this point, he doesn't need the escorts anymore.)
Each time on stage, I get more and more nervous.
It's high time I stopped...
getting nervous on stage.
(He confesses he was nervous after doing so well.)
I get really tense.
Who is Spring Girl,
the vocal with a charming husky voice?
We will find out right now.
Spring Girl, please go to the back of the stage...
and get ready.
Who is Spring Girl?
Spring Girl, please remove your mask...
and show us who you are.
- MAMAMOO. - Did you say MAMAMOO?
I was reminded of RIAA.
- I think it's Hyo Lin. - I agree.
(She finally removes her veil.)
(Wow)
This is...
(The audience is cheering.)
(The lady of my dreams)
This is Hyo Lin from SISTAR.
(They can finally match her voice up with her familiar face.)
I was right.
(Of course.)
(I was right to support her.)
(Nayeon's guess was accurate.)
Spring Girl.
We couldn't have known.
I'm sorry I'm a mess. Hello, I'm Hyo Lin from SISTAR.
Hello.
(SISTAR, the best girl group of Korea)
(All of their songs dominate the music charts.)
(Hyo Lin's strong vocals lead the team to success.)
(The talented idol, Hyo Lin is here.)
Did you want to break the prejudice that...
Hyo Lin is too strong?
I was happy when I was singing at King of Mask Singer...
because I felt liberated from...
the bias and prejudice that people had...
- when they looked at me. - I see.
Thank you for listening to my song.
If we see the songs you sang today,
they were all songs...
- that are very sentimental. - Right.
I heard you cried a little at the practice room...
whilst preparing for your last performance.
- Yes. - Was there a reason for that?
(Practice session)
(She kept wiping her tears whilst singing.)
(She ended the practice session in tears.)
Since I was to perform before the audience...
after a long break, I really wanted to...
show that I have matured as a singer.
I wanted to let everyone listen to this song,
and I did have someone in mind whilst singing the songs.
- So I think those things made me... - Yes.
- cry without even knowing it. - Okay.
Park Wan Kyu has shown special love...
for you throughout the matches.
Hyo Lin already has a very high reputation...
amongst senior singers.
A lot of seniors say she has a special gift,
and now that I've actually listened to her singing,
I see why they say that.
I think the evaluation was accurate.
I've always been a big fan of yours as much as Wan Kyu.
Seeing her performances,
I realised that she is growing to become...
one of the best female vocalists in Korea...
with her amazing voice as well as her...
musicality and ability to comprehend the sentiments of a song.
She deserves to be the King of Mask Singer.
(She deserves to be the King of Mask Singer.)
As far as I know,
she is a little over 25 years old,
but I feel like...
she's matured so much...
since the last time I saw her.
I want her to keep her freshness...
than to mature so fast.
You can be more playful and young.
A lot of people are already looking over you,
and they want you to keep your youth for longer.
- Okay. - You sound...
a bit too mature.
- Is everything okay? - Don't worry, Gu Ra.
As soon as I get out of this dress,
I'll become my masculine self again.
Her tomboy side is what...
makes everyone love her.
Today, Hyo Lin has broken out of her...
usual powerful and scary image...
as she has shown us her deep sentiments...
and very charming voice.
Please give her another round of applause.
- Thank you. - Great job today.
(Please continue to make good music.)
Oh my gosh. Thank you.
Thank you.
Isn't one of my eyebrows gone?
Oh gosh.
(Like she said, she goes back to being herself.)
Go home.
(Patting the guard on the back)
(Let's all go home now.)
I want to go home.
(Refreshed)
I've been on...
many competitive shows,
but at that time, it hadn't been too long since I made my debut,
and my main objective was to...
make SISTAR and my name known.
So instead of singing what I wanted to,
I always chose to sing songs...
(I always chose to sing songs that would help me win.)
that would help me win.
I wanted to sing in a completely different style...
at the thought that people will listen to my music...
without knowing who I am.
I wanted to let people know that...
I can sing gently, not just powerfully.
I was happy to have so many people think...
that my voice is charming, and I feel like...
today was a very meaningful day in my life.
