The mysterious music show, King of Mask Singer!
Last week,
Music Commander in My Town set a record...
with six consecutive wins and became the 27th King of Mask Singer.
(Music Commander in My Town)
(Ta-da!)
(Wow!)
We now introduce...
the eight masked singers who are ready to take him down.
She is an invincible woman with the power of the moon.
Half Moon Unlike Half Moon!
She is so cute.
Hearing her voice once will make you vote for her.
Kimchi Cheese Smile!
It's a vintage camera.
- It looks quite old. - It's a relic of the past.
He has a majestic voice of a different class.
Oh! Chandelier!
Doesn't he seem like a very talented singer?
He can hit the highest notes with his vocal cords.
Express Train Roller Coaster!
(His movements are rhythmic.)
- He is a good dancer. - I agree.
He is determined to take the throne.
Do You Believe in Magic Castle!
(My goodness.)
His mask almost came off.
The secrets behind her successful voice will be revealed.
Life Without Fail!
There are spools adorning her mask.
("Spool" and "Fail" are pronounced the same in Korean.)
My goodness.
This man has a cosmic voice that appeared like a comet.
Unpredictable Andromeda!
(Unpredictable Andromeda)
I really want to have that mask.
The victory will fall into my hands.
Judgement of Solomon.
(Judgement of Solomon)
- That mask is gorgeous. - It looks great.
The 28th competition is going to begin...
to challenge the throne.
The mysterious music show, King of Mask Singer!
Spring is in the air on this Sunday afternoon.
The masked singers are going to relieve your burdens and stress...
that have accumulated for the past week...
due to deep-rooted prejudices.
I'm your unbiased MC, Kim Seong Ju. Nice to meet you.
(Your unbiased MC, Kim Seong Ju)
Last week, Music Commander performed "Hayeoga"...
and caused a sensation.
He succeeded in achieving six consecutive wins.
He set a new record last week.
The king, Music Commander,
would you say hello to the viewers?
Hello, everyone. I'm Music Commander in My Town.
(Nice to see you.)
(Ta-da!)
The number of your followers is increasing day by day,
and you're gaining a larger fan base.
Do you feel your increased popularity?
No, I don't feel it at all.
Really? That can't be true.
- Since I'm still wearing my mask, - Go on.
(Since I'm still wearing my mask,)
With the mask, nobody recognises me on the street.
- Oh, I see. - When I take off my mask later,
(When I take off my mask later,)
I think people might not recognise me.
I wonder I have to keep wearing my mask...
even after I open my face.
I see a possibility of...
long-term seizure of power.
He is aiming at the seventh consecutive win today.
Please give him a big hand to encourage him.
(What will Music Commander show for his seventh win?)
From now on, we'll start with Round One, the duet match.
Here comes the first match.
(Here comes the first match.)
(King of Mask Singer)
The first match of Round One.
Her moonlit voice will colour the whole world.
She is...
Half Moon Unlike Half Moon.
(Half Moon Unlike Half Moon)
(Mask designed by Hwang Jae Keun)
I will pass Round One with ease.
(Yes!)
(She is ambitious and confident.)
(She is fabulous.)
Her name is poetic.
- Her walking exudes confidence. - She has big gestures.
- I think she is a singer. - Her gestures show she is.
Here comes her opponent.
Her voice will be stamped deep in your heart.
Kimchi Cheese Smile.
(Kimchi Cheese Smile)
(Mask designed by Hwang Jae Keun)
I hope you'll be happy to hear my song. Smile!
(Smile!)
(Taking photos is not allowed.)
(She's cute.)
- Is she watching us? - She's taking pictures.
She's a bit like a dork.
She must be a comedienne.
- She is like Bong Sun. - I also think she's like me.
(Amid wild guesses by panellists,)
- You get most nervous... - I know.
- when you wait for the music there. - They must be very nervous.
(Both the singers and audience get nervous.)
(The panellists fix their eyes on the masked singers.)
(What harmony will the uncommon combination produce?)
("I Don't Know Yet What Love Is" by Lee Ji Yeon)
(An exciting song opens Round One.)
(What is this?)
(She's unbelievable.)
(Wow!)
(Her breathing is comfortable and it plays with the rhythm.)
(Her full voice emanates from her body.)
(Surprised)
(She has seasoned singing skills...)
(and an impressive husky voice.)
(Who is she?)
(House band)
They are in good harmony.
(Dancing)
They are obviously excited. They want to dance.
(Half Moon shows sophisticated techniques.)
(Who could be that veteran?)
(Her tender and clear voice tone...)
(fascinates the panellists.)
(A fiery showdown between the two masked singers)
(Half Moon sings half octave higher.)
(Smile is as good as Half Moon.)
(It was a fierce competition between Half Moon and Smile.)
(They are really good.)
- Oh, my goodness. - Incredible!
Wow!
- I got goose bumps. - It's only the first stage.
Goodness!
The first match of Round One has just finished.
Between these two great female masked singers,
which one do you think...
appealed to your heart?
Your votes will decide who will be able to...
move on to the next round.
All votes are in.
First of all, will you say hello to the viewers?
Half Moon, please go first.
Hello. I'm Half Moon...
Unlike Half Moon.
(She seems very nervous.)
All right. Half Moon in a white dress...
said a shy hello.
Smile, please go ahead.
Everybody, hello!
I'm Kimchi Cheese Smile.
(Her voice is extremely high.)
All right.
I think your voice is pretty sexy.
It seems the first match was too intense for Round One.
- Seong Ju. - Go on.
Not all celebrities and entertainers...
get along with each other.
- I see. - Some don't mix well.
- In my opinion, - Yes.
those two know each other.
But they don't get on with each other.
- Do they know each other? - Yes.
- Really? - Let me tell you something.
When other singers compete on this stage,
they try to make their contender stand out...
or play a fair game at least.
But today, they were really combative.
They were fighting as if their houses were at stake.
Oh, I see. Is that what you thought?
All right.
(I Will Steal This Stage! Episode 1)
(Can you do this?)
(Of course!)
(How about this?)
(They never back down.)
(I'm scared of them.)
- When you look at Smile, - Go ahead.
- it's a camera. - Yes, it's on her mask.
- So I can guess how old she is. - I see.
In late 80s and early 90s, there used to be...
- cameramen in night clubs. - Really?
- Yes. - Did they take pictures for you?
They approached you when it's your birthday or other occasion.
They asked you, "May I take a picture of you?"
Then they took pictures and went out.
The camera reminds them...
of their younger days.
- So... - The camera was a hint for you.
Yes. That's the clue about her age.
Their performance...
was actually charismatic and powerful.
Most female contenders have so far put on...
pretty and feminine masks.
But she put on a camera on her face today.
That means once you are on her black list, you will be in trouble.
She might be an experienced singer with bad temper.
Once she puts you on her black list, it isn't going to be good.
- So, she has a list. - Yes.
That's why her mask is a camera.
Hello.
(Creepy greeting comes out of nowhere.)
I'm Kimchi Cheese Smile.
(It isn't going to end well.)
Young Seok, how did you like her performance?
To be honest, they overacted...
on their way to the stage.
So I thought they might be famous comediennes...
- who came to entertain the viewers. - I see.
I was wrong.
They showed a great performance.
As for Half Moon,
you are not Unlike Half Moon. You are definitely a singer.
Nobody can sing like that except singers.
If Half Moon sings solo in Round Two,
I bet that she will make it to Final Match.
- You do? - Yes.
- She's as good as the king. - Right.
(What? Me?)
(This is only the first match.)
What about Smile?
Her style is masculine.
Also, she knows how to enjoy the performance.
However, I'm still suspicious...
about her true identity.
I guess she loves to sing very much,
- but she's not a singer. - Right.
(Suddenly, experts put a mysterious smile on their faces.)
- So she's not a singer. - No, she isn't.
That's how you felt.
Young Seok commented on the emotional side.
I'd like to hear an analytic comment now.
Hyun Chul analyses vocal cords.
By that, he can figure out gender, occupation, age and even diseases.
Hyun Chul, did you figure something out?
There's some age difference.
Oh, there's some age difference.
Smile is relatively older than Half Moon.
Only relatively.
Because she's in a see-through outfit.
Her outfit today is a see-through dress.
She wore a see-through dress.
By wearing it, she's showing off her body lines.
That fashion isn't easy to try.
How about Smile?
- How about Smile? - She's showing her foot only.
She's showing the top of her foot only.
Did she cover too much of her body?
She doesn't show any sign of flesh.
The only flesh we can see is the top of her foot.
Even her feet are small.
She might have wanted to cover even her feet.
But then she changed her mind and showed only a bit of her body.
Based on that, I guess she's old.
Also, I focused on their vibrato.
Half Moon swallows vibrato completely in the end.
Like this.
It trembles and changes at the end.
That kind of vibrato is...
What is "that kind of vibrato"? Could you elaborate?
What does she swallow at the end?
Why do you keep asking me? I can't sing that vibrato.
- Why would you do that? - Oh, you can't sing it.
- You can analyse, but can't sing. - Yes.
(Why on earth?)
(Okay, he was telling the truth.)
Jang Hyuk will demonstrate to you.
Even a rendezvous
- This is it. - Right, I see.
I understood right away.
Can't you sing this, Hyun Chul?
You are a singer. Come on!
I don't sing vibrato at all.
The vibrato hints me that...
she might be a rock singer.
You figured out so much.
That's what I thought. And about Smile,
her voice resembles a person I know.
- Does she? - Yes.
- They are so alike. - You might know her.
If you've casted the singer I have in mind,
I can only say that you really know how to cast singers.
- Is she hard to cast? - Of course.
She is my senior.
Right.
Young Seok said that she's not even a singer. Is she a singer?
But since you said "senior", she has to be a singer.
I think she is W.
- Did you say W? - Yes.
- And she's your senior. - Yes.
I'm sure that both of them are singers.
Right. Jang Hyuk, please start with your breathing analysis.
Hyun Chul's got really good ears.
I thought her to be W as well.
(Even Jang Hyuk thinks the same. This is not good.)
That's what I thought.
I'm Kimchi Cheese Smile.
Her breathing is very mature.
The breathing tells me that she's been singing for a very long time.
Also, her voice is a bit husky.
I noticed her steps earlier on the stage.
That's how singers from the past used to perform.
- Oh, because she's old, too. - Yes.
- So I think she might be W as well. - I see.
Young Seok's opinion is different...
from the opinion of Hyun Chul and Jang Hyuk.
Okay, here comes a crucial hint.
I will reveal their real voices.
Let's play today's hint song!
(It's "Popopo", a children's song.)
(Everyone claps along together.)
(It's Half Moon's turn.)
(Po, po, po)
(She disguised her voice completely.)
(Pa, pa, pa)
Let's hear their real voices one more time.
(Po, po, po)
(She refuses to give out a hint easily.)
(Pap, pap, pa)
They sang in their real voices.
The voices were not disguised.
- Smile. - Yes, Smile.
I think you are one of us.
- She's not a singer, then. - Yes.
At last, the person I always talked about has come.
(The person she always talked about?)
Cut it out, please.
- Also, - My gosh.
- her tune was... - Don't say Song Eun Yi again.
Is it Song Eun Yi again?
Weren't you in a mask dance club?
A mask dance club?
- She's Song Eun Yi. - Right, Song Eun Yi.
Ice Princess.
Her body type and height tell that she is...
Are you saying that she's Song Eun Yi again?
- Yes. - Stop it, seriously.
She always played the role of an old lady.
And the way she acts cute and pretty is...
- unmistakably... - Yes.
- Song Eun Yi. - Song Eun Yi, right.
She's clutching her hand very hard.
You know, Song Eun Yi is a terrific singer.
I think we deviated because of Bong Sun.
I'll give another clue.
It's their original voices.
They will mimic voices this time.
Half Moon wrote she can mimic Ayumi's voice.
- It's been a while. - Yes, Ayumi from SUGAR.
She said that she can mimic Ayumi's voice.
(She has to mimic Ayumi's distinctive accent.)
(She also has to have audacity.)
Let's see how you do it. Hello, Ayumi.
A girl like me is in style lately
(The end)
This is for those who remember Ayumi.
She prepared one more. It's Jung In this time.
It's Jung In.
Oh, my mind
(She stops abruptly.)
It was brief.
Smile said just now...
that she can also mimic Jung In's voice.
Song Eun Yi does that all the time.
Does she?
Now, let's check out Smile's version of Jung In.
Go out and get some air
(She's good as well.)
They both impersonated the same person.
Smile will mimic another person.
She will impersonate ALI.
Can you mimic ALI's voice?
(It takes deep soul and powerful voice to mimic her voice.)
(This is going to be very hard.)
Please mimic her song now.
That's what love is like
Maybe time cures everything
(It's exactly the same.)
The voices she impersonated might sound similar.
But if you listen carefully, there are differences.
- Shin Go Eun. - Yes.
- You did a lot of interviews. - Yes.
Between these two, does anyone ring a bell?
Do you remember interviewing either of them?
- Not at all. - Not at all.
I don't have the slightest clue.
I think Smile is a comedienne for sure.
- Then, you agree with Bong Sun. - Yes, I do.
- Song Eun Yi lives in Ilsan. - My gosh.
- And when she drives... - He said she's not her.
Stop it right now.
She plays "365" by ALI very loudly.
How much did she pay you? You never stop talking about her.
And she's even persistent now.
I bet she's Song Eun Yi.
Right. Then, I'll announce...
the result of the first match of Round One.
Between Half Moon and Smile,
the winner of this duet match who left bigger impression...
on your mind is going to be revealed soon.
(The result will be revealed now.)
(Half Moon has a delicate yet powerful voice.)
(She has an appealing voice.)
(The beauty of Smile's husky voice lies in...)
(the passionate soul.)
The first masked singer...
who's going to make it to Round Two is...
The winner is...
Go, Half Moon!
Smile! Smile!
- The winner of this match... - Hurry up.
The winner is...
(They are all curious.)
(Who will the panellist choose?)
(Who will it be?)
The result came out.
The winner of this match is...
Smile!
Half Moon won.
Half Moon Unlike Half Moon.
(Half Moon won.)
- Wow. - I knew it.
(They grieve.)
(This big match was worth watching.)
Half Moon Unlike Half Moon will...
move on to Round Two.
With a final score of 61 to 38,
Half Moon beat Smile.
She will move on to Round Two.
Please return to the waiting room.
Give her a round of applause.
(Smile's identity will be revealed shortly.)
(Her steps are still shaky.)
I'll show you a better performance in the next round.
Go, Half Moon!
Are you disappointed?
No, I'm fine.
You seem disappointed, though.
- Did it show? - Yes, a lot.
That's okay. We will now let you sing the song...
you prepared for the next round...
and find out who this person is.
Please give her a round of applause.
She seems a bit masculine.
I can only say that you really know how to cast singers.
- Is she hard to cast? - Of course.
I think she's W.
I also think she is W.
Once you are on her black list, you will be in trouble.
(Po, po, po)
("First Impression" by Kim Gun Mo)
(Good.)
(I like the beat.)
(Wow!)
(Her voice is cute but rhythmical.)
(We can feel her confidence.)
(Who is she?)
(She adds more and more groove to her song.)
(Her performance is captivating at the first sight.)
Kimchi Cheese Smile, please remove your mask...
and show us who you are.
(Unbelievable.)
(Who are you?)
(Who is it?)
(I told you I'm right.)
This is...
Won Mi Yeon, a singer with 28 years of experience.
(Won Mi Yeon, a singer with 28 years of experience.)
This is Won Mi Yeon.
(Oh, my gosh.)
- Yes! - Hey, Mi Yeon.
(Oh, my goodness.)
(Screaming)
I can't believe I didn't recognise her.
(She still has the charming voice...)
(and unique sensitivity like her old days.)
(Her energy heats up the studio in an instant.)
(Her stage presence is immense.)
(In a trance)
(She sure has the charisma of a singer with 28 years of experience.)
(Everyone is captivated by her voice.)
(She sings with all her might.)
(The performance reeks of her 28 years' worth of passion.)
(You're the best.)
(The audience can't stop clapping for her.)
(Her juniors stand up to show her their support.)
Hello and nice to meet you all.
I am singer Won Mi Yeon.
Won Mi Yeon,
a second year student at the department of theatre and film...
of Chung-Ang University.
(She made herself known in 1985 at the "Campus Song Festival".)
(Afterwards, she had her debut with the album, "I Want To Be Alone".)
(She achieved stardom with her many different charms.)
(She ended up singing the hit song of the century, "Farewell Trip".)
(She was loved for her unique, husky voice.)
The atmosphere completely changed since someone mentioned "W".
- A lot of people... - I don't think I'll ever meet...
- Young Seok again. - Yu Young Seok.
Even if we meet in the hallway, I will pretend I didn't see him.
Of course. It's hard not to recognise your voice.
I even received a song from...
- Young Seok before. - I see.
Nonetheless, he guessed that you weren't a singer.
I had my doubts because you sounded way too musical.
It's already too late.
A lot of the times, when we try...
to cast older singers to King of Mask Singer,
most turn down the offer.
They say, "What can I do at this age?"
But Mi Yeon gladly accepted our invitation...
and decided to come to our show.
The reason I made up my mind to come out is...
my daughter Yoo Bin, who's now in the fifth grade.
Her friends know that her mother is a singer,
but they keep showing doubts and asking her what my hit songs were.
- Her friends? - Right. So I wanted to show her...
that I was a singer, and I wanted to sing on the stage for her.
I wanted to sing and interact with people through music again.
I think a singer is most confident...
and happy on the stage.
- Right. - It was nice to be here.
I think Mi Yeon spoke to a much wider audience today,
regardless of age and generation,
while being completely free of her "senior singer" title.
Please give her another round of applause.
Thank you.
(We root for her constant challenge.)
(She seems relieved.)
My daughter always watches...
when I'm on television, or when I sing at an event.
But she always asks me, "Why do you only sing that song?"
Since most people just expect me to sing my old hit songs...
and never ask me to sing my newest songs,
I wanted to show people my new side and challenge that bias.
I think I had a lot of fun...
on stage today in a long time.
After the first match of Round One,
Half Moon Unlike Half Moon beat Won Mi Yeon...
and moved on to Round Two.
Let's now see the second match of Round One.
(The second match of Round One begins now.)
The second match of Round One.
An elegant and antique voice.
Oh! Chandelier.
(Oh! Chandelier)
I will shine a bright light upon your heart.
(Spinning around)
(Wow!)
Why is everyone twirling today?
They keep twirling as they come out.
Going against him...
Take a ride on my thrilling voice.
Express Train Roller Coaster.
(Express Train Roller Coaster)
(He walks out, showing off his fancy mask.)
(Look at that.)
(Wow, look at his mask.)
We shouldn't assume anything from the outfit.
I'm not going to be tricked by their behaviour.
I always fall for the mask...
because of the face structure.
(How will they look under the gown?)
(He takes off his gown.)
(Fancy tuxedo)
Taeil?
He does feel a bit like Taeil.
- But he has already been here. - Right, he has.
Taeil was already here once.
(A cute clown)
- A clown. - How cute.
(With such a cute outfit...)
Isn't that Huh Gak?
Isn't that Kim Byung Man?
Byung Man?
I think Roller Coaster is here as a comical character.
He looks like he'd be a better fit at the circus.
(Their outer appearance doesn't give anything away.)
(The two singers attract a lot of attention.)
(What kind of a performance will they show us?)
("Don't Go Don't Go" by Brown Eyes)
- Oh, my goodness. - It's a difficult song to sing.
(It's a Brown Eyes' song!)
(Chandelier has a soft voice.)
(I love it.)
(A deep, but stable voice)
(Oh, my gosh.)
(The two men's voices naturally merge into one another.)
(Chandelier bursts into a deep sorrow.)
(The R&B song sounds even more sentimental with his unique voice.)
(By their sweet voices,)
(the women's hearts are fluttering.)
(They are the best.)
(Wow...)
(Admiring)
(His voice sounds so mournful that it will change a woman's mind.)
(He has a captivating voice.)
(His voice sounds like a roller coaster with explosive emotions.)
(His ardent emotion comes from the bottom of his heart.)
(Their song is filled with the deep sadness of parting.)
(It was a sentimental harmony between two men.)
(The panellist give a standing ovation without a word.)
- I'm sweating listening to ballad. - They must be the Brown Eyes.
(They showed a fantastic performance with a perfect harmony.)
(They are so good!)
I'm sweating.
Wow, it was unbelievable.
- It was like they sang their song. - I agree.
The second duet match of Round One is over.
Now it is time to make up your mind...
- and choose one... - They were so good.
between the two sentimental singers.
Whose voice do you want to hear one more time?
Between the two masked singers,
who did you like more?
Who will be the winner of this match?
All votes are in.
Please say hello to the viewers first.
Oh, Chandelier
Hello, I'm Oh! Chandelier.
Okay. He looks like a foreigner...
in a way.
It is Roller Coaster's turn.
A train makes its way through the darkness
Hello, I'm...
(This express train is a bit slow.)
I'm Express Train Roller Coaster.
(I'm Roller Coaster.)
We normally see him at an amusement park.
Roller Coaster is dressed like a clown.
They are swaying the female panellists.
It seems they are so into the two masked singers.
Youn Ha, I'd like to hear from you first.
How did you like their performance?
- I loved it so much. - Did you like it that much?
I was absorbed in their performance.
I think...
- they should form a singing duo. - As a team?
Yes. They showed a perfect harmony together.
I see. What about you, Bong Sun?
- It drove me crazy. - What's wrong?
I was upset at the staff.
They are mean...
and heartless. I hate that...
- they have to compete in Round One. - Okay.
I think one of them will compete against...
- the current King of Mask Singer. - Really?
- Yes. - Young Seok said Half Moon...
from the first match will compete against the King of Mask Singer.
We have strong candidates today.
- I agree. - They are amazing.
I was sad that I had only two ears.
I wish I had three or four ears...
- to listen to their songs better. - Listen to it with your nose.
What are you talking about?
- Chandelier sounded... - Chandelier?
very subtle.
It was feminine and delicate.
Metaphorically speaking,
- he was like a coniferous tree. - A coniferous tree?
- A tree with needle-like leaves? - And Roller Coaster...
sounded relatively manly and bold.
He had a thick and deep voice...
- like a calligraphic font. - I see.
So he was more like a broadleaf tree.
- That's the impression I got. - I see.
(His voice was like a broadleaf tree.)
- Then, Hyun Chul. - Yes.
- I think both of them are singers. - You think?
It seems Chandelier has...
a relatively smaller voice.
- And his pronunciation was softer. - Okay.
So I think he is in charge of...
singing in harmony in a group.
And it is called "SSW".
I believe him to be a singer-songwriter.
- SSW? - Yes.
Just say singer-songwriter.
- I thought it was Thai language. - Why would you make it short?
- It sounds funny. - What's wrong with that?
- It was too much. - SSW?
- Do you want to look young? - No, it's not that.
Meanwhile, Roller Coaster...
seems to be a soloist.
A soloist?
That's because he has a loud voice...
and a clear pronunciation.
"Come back to me like that."
He sounded like this.
Based on these evidences, I believe he is a soloist.
Can't he survive in a group if he has a clear pronunciation?
- It should be softer in a group. - For a better harmony?
Yes.
So I think Roller Coaster is a soloist,
whilst Chandelier is SSW.
- SSW? - Stop that. It is absurd.
Excuse me, Mr SSW!
- You should call yourself SSW. - Okay.
We took professional advice from three experts.
But you don't seem to know who they are.
I saw that Chandelier came on the stage...
with candlesticks in his hands.
Yes, he had candlesticks.
I saw him turning around...
holding the candlesticks in his hands.
I guess he used to work at a pub.
(I guess he used to work at a pub.)
- Did it look natural? - That is my guess.
When waiters are busy at a pub, they hold dishes in both hands...
and go through tables, turning around quickly.
And it requires a good sense of balance.
Okay. One more beer, please.
- I'm sure he used to... - Okay.
- work at a pub. - Okay.
As for Roller Coaster,
I think he is trying to look...
- shorter. - On purpose?
- That's right. - Is he trying to look shorter?
I think he covered his shoes with the costume to make people think...
- he's wearing heels. - Is he barefoot?
I think soles of his shoes are very thin.
So he is not as short as you expect.
- But he is a bit short. - Okay.
- So I think... He's short. - He's short but...
Are you saying that he's short but not that short?
- He's short but not that short. - Okay.
- We didn't think he was that short. - Really?
Anyway, I tried to come up with some short singers.
- A wrestler, Sim Kwon Ho? - Sim Kwon Ho?
- I thought it was him at first. - Before you heard the song?
Then I realised it wasn't him when I saw the song title.
- Isn't he Sim Kwon Ho? - He can't be Sim Kwon Ho.
So I guess...
he is a good singer...
who is relatively short. I talked about him earlier.
He is a member of ULALA SESSION.
(A member of ULALA SESSION)
He is short with a moustache.
- Is he Kim Myung Hoon? - He is Kim Myung Hoon.
- Kim Myung Hoon? - Or...
Seo Eun Kwang of BTOB.
(Is Roller Coaster Seo Eun Kwang of BTOB?)
- Seo Eun Kwang of BTOB? - Seo Eun Kwang of BTOB.
- Eun Kwang. - There are a diversity of opinions.
You will get to hear the masked singers' real voices.
Chandelier will sing four words.
Give us your voice imitation of SG WANNABE.
As I live
- All right. - He sounds alike.
You sang three words.
As I live
I apologise. He stretched "Live" into two words.
That was SG WANNABE.
Now, he will imitate Yang Hee Eun's voice.
Yang Hee Eun.
After a long night
(He stopped after four words.)
After a long night
For the last one, he will imitate Nam Jin's voice.
Nam Jin.
On a green meadow
"On a green meadow". That was the last one.
He reminds me of a member of 2AM.
2AM?
It's about time he visited the show. I think he might be Jin Woon.
- Jeong Jin Woon? - Yes.
- Jeong Jin Woon of 2AM. - Chandelier's shoulders are broad.
His shoulders are like those of Lim Seul Ong.
- You are right. - Seul Ong.
His shoulders resemble Seul Ong's more than Jin Woon's.
That's right.
- I also think he could be Seul Ong. - All right.
It's time to hear Roller Coaster's voice imitations.
Is Zion.T first in line?
(Zion.T imitation)
Let us hear it.
Oh, yeah
Do, re, mi fa, sol, la, ti, do
My father is
A taxi driver, a taxi driver
(Based on this soulful voice,)
(could he be the real Zion.T?)
(Unbelievable!)
- That was amazing. - That was amazing.
- It was a quality voice imitation.
He sang for quite a bit, but I still have no idea who he is.
Can anyone guess who he might be?
He used his real voice.
Another thing Roller Coaster can do is a dance by a girl group.
Play the music.
(Clap along.)
(His dance is on point.)
(I am Tzu Yu.)
(He is brilliant.)
(Swaying)
(Lovely)
(Who is he?)
(He even did the jump.)
(He perfectly recreated TWICE's dance.)
(It was the best.)
That was amazing.
I will now announce the result...
of the second match of Round One.
(Finally!)
Between the two masked singers with soulful voices,
who received more votes from the audience?
The winner of the second match will be revealed now.
(His voice is strong and beautiful.)
(Huskiness adds an additional charm to Chandelier's voice.)
(Another masked singer created a perfect harmony with him.)
(His voice is gentle and sorrowful.)
(Roller Coaster hit high notes in a delicate manner.)
Who will be the winner of the second match?
The winner is...
- I will be happy with either one. - I feel the same.
No matter who loses, I will mourn the loss.
I can't watch this.
(Both of them are fit to be the winner.)
(Which one of the sentimental vocalists will win?
Both masked singers were predicted to be the king's rival.
The winner of this match is...
Roller Coaster!
Roller Coaster won.
(No one can stop Roller Coaster.)
All right.
(Panellists' reactions are different.)
(He gives them thumbs up.)
Express Train Roller Coaster won.
With a final score of 59 to 40,
he beat Chandelier with the margin of 19 votes.
Roller Coaster moves on to Round Two.
Thank you for your hard work. Please return to your waiting room.
Give him a round of applause.
He has an extraordinary voice...
and cute dancing skills.
I was so nervous.
Gosh.
(Looking back on my victory, I feel great.)
He did a great job,
but we won't get to hear him sing on subsequent rounds.
Who could Chandelier be?
We will now listen to his solo performance...
and check out his identity.
Please give him a round of applause.
I think he is an actor who can sing very well.
He seems like a singer-songwriter.
There is a good chance that he is a singer-songwriter.
I think he might be Jin Woon.
- Jeong Jin Woon? - Yes.
His shoulders resemble Seul Ong's more than Jin Woon's.
That's right.
- I also think he could be Seul Ong. - All right.
("With Me" by Wheesung)
(Wow!)
Okay.
(Chandelier begins the song with a fascinating ad-lib.)
(He has already captivated women's hearts.)
(My goodness.)
(He is very groovy.)
(Ha!)
(Everyone can't help but fall for his sexiness.)
(He is really good.)
(Who is the owner of such a charming voice?)
Chandelier, please take off your mask...
and reveal your face.
(Chandelier has a soulful singing style.)
He is...
Who is he?
- Please take off your mask... - Who is he?
- and reveal your face. - Who is he?
(I want to know.)
Reveal your face.
He is...
a singer with four years of experience...
and the main vocalist of Boys Republic, One Junn.
(Who is he?)
He is a member of Boys Republic.
- He is a member of Boys Republic. - Boys Republic.
(Boys Republic is a five-member boy group which debuted in 2013.)
(Amongst the five members of unique charms,)
(One Junn is the trustworthy leader and the main vocalist.)
(Chandelier is One Junn of Boys Republic.)
(One Junn's performance was free-spirited and soulful.)
(No one knew that he was such a talented singer.)
Chandelier's identity has been revealed.
He is the main vocalist of Boys Republic, One Junn.
Boys Republic!
Hello, I am the leader of Boys Republic, One Junn.
All right. This year marks your group's fourth year.
Yes, this year is our fourth year.
It says here that BTS...
motivated you to debut. Is that right?
You read it wrong.
- Okay. - We debuted around the same time.
(BTS and Boys Republic debuted around the same time.)
- Yes. - Excuse me.
- I understood it wrong. - How could you be so dull-witted?
BTS didn't motivate you to debut.
No, we just debuted around the same time.
So Boys Republic and BTS debuted in the same year.
Yes, amongst numerous boy groups that debuted in 2013,
only Boys Republic and BTS...
- have survived. - I see.
- The other groups no longer exist. - BTS is quite popular these days.
Yes, I enjoy watching them on television at home.
Your motivation behind performing on King of Mask Singer...
had to do with the group's lack of popularity.
Many people still ask us...
if we have just debuted.
Some people even ask us if we are preparing for our debut.
I wanted to perform on King of Mask Singer...
because for once, I wanted to let people know about our team,
our music and musicians like us.
- That's why I'm here. - I see.
It was a good opportunity for me.
Listening to your song today,
I felt the spirit of a musician who has passion...
and pride for his music. I was strongly impressed.
I'll look forward to watching you perform more often.
All right. We all see...
his passion for music in his eyes.
We could see the potentials of One Junn and Boys Republic...
that built over four years' music career.
Please give him a big round of applause.
Thank you.
(We'll look forward to your future performances.)
(He holds the mask like a waiter.)
Thank you.
- You have a nice voice. - Thank you.
- Keep up the good work. - Okay.
(He's grateful for the encouragement.)
(Cho Jang Hyuk said I have a nice voice!)
(Touched)
Roller coaster has defeated One Junn of Boys Republic...
and moved on to Round Two.
Coming soon!
You will be totally surprised.
(What a surprised!)
(You can't help but fall for them.)
They are so attractive.
(Their uprising to seize the throne.)
He's immersed in his dancing.
What is he doing?
Do you know anyone among us?
- I know some. - I see.
He is very chatty.
(High-pitched singing)
I have no idea who is going to win.
The winner of this match is...
(Let's find out right now.)
After the show, the online mobile survey...
will be available for netizens to guess the next king.
Your participation will be much appreciated.
Now let's start the third match of Round One.
The third match of Round One.
He's like a prince in a fairy tale.
Do You Believe in Magic Castle.
(Do You Believe in Magic Castle)
I will present you an unbelievable stage.
(He's cute.)
Stop, stop.
(He wiggles.)
He's telling them to let go of him.
He is quite energetic.
(Magic Castle is energetic from the beginning.)
Here's his opponent.
Her voice brings successes.
Life Without Fail.
(Life Without Fail)
My stage never fails.
(My stage never fails.)
(I'm coming.)
(What is that?)
Look at the spools.
I guess another masked singer will soon come on this show...
under the name of Life Without Giving Up.
(Life Without Giving up)
(Mint green)
(Pink)
- They wore matching costumes. - That's right.
They look really good together.
I agree. They look like a well-matched couple.
(What song will they sing together?)
("Our Love Like This" by Joo Young Hoon)
(I'm excited.)
Her voice tone is like pastel colours.
(Her warm and beautiful voice...)
(fits well with her elegant dress in pastel tone.)
(Wonderful!)
(His voice is sweet.)
(His voice feels delicate and tender.)
(Who is he?)
(Their harmony makes people feel comfortable.)
(This lovers' serenade...)
(makes people's hearts flutter.)
(Her voice pulls you into the song.)
Life Without Fail sounds like an innocent and charming lady.
(His deep and steady vibration...)
(and calm voice tone...)
(draw women's hearts.)
(As if they have been lovers for a long time,)
(they sing in a perfect harmony.)
(I love it!)
(The moment is full of love.)
("Our Love Like This")
(They are great.)
- Go out with her. - Go out with her.
(Go out with her!)
Marry her. Marry her.
They look good together.
The third match of Round One has just finished.
Which voice do you want to choose?
All votes are in.
Hello.
I'm Do You Believe in Magic Castle.
All right. He sounds pretty gentle.
- He seems to be shy. - Yes, he's a shy guy.
Hello, I'm...
(She steals a glance.)
- I'm Life Without Fail. - Okay.
All right.
She is also shy.
She seems more experienced than him.
Right. For the first time in our studio,
As soon as their song ended,
the audience shouted, "Go our with her."
I guess sentimental Young Seok...
might have loved their performance.
- They were like a married couple. - I see.
I really enjoyed the peacefulness from their duet performance.
Life Without Fail has a beautiful tone.
And I felt the beauty of innocence from her.
- How about Magical Castle? - Magical Castle...
(Magical Castle...)
It sounds strange.
- Go ahead. - Magical Castle...
was considerate of his opponent...
throughout their performance.
He restrained himself to keep the balance with her.
He tried to make them both stand out.
- He was very considerate. - I see.
Hyun Chul's male-female duet song is also famous.
- The duet with Lee So Ra? - Exactly.
- They sang "The Blue in You." - Oh, now I remember.
(Younger Kim Hyun Chul)
(He was young at the time.)
(He gives Gu Ra a harsh look.)
- He is a talented composer. - We almost forgot it.
(Come over here.)
- He's a singer-songwriter. - Of course, he is.
- He's a good singer-songwriter. - That's right.
He made "The Blue in You." What do you think about their duet?
Magic Castle has a very similar voice...
to Lee Se Joon's.
Lee Se Joon of Yurisangja.
He is almost like Lee Se Joon.
- I think folk songs will be... - Go on.
perfect for his voice.
Life Without Fail sounds like Julie Andrews...
of "The Sound of Music."
She was a teacher and nun from "Sound of Music".
She was just like Julie Andrews.
- That's what I felt. - You seem very pleased.
I really enjoyed their performance.
For me, I felt sweetness in their performance.
As for Magic Castle,
his breathing makes women want to care for him.
So I don't think he's that young.
He's old enough to have magnanimity.
He's old enough to interpret the song.
- That's right. - I see.
He might have fallen in love several times.
He is the type to sing songs to move women...
- and hurt them after. - Like a bad guy.
- Let's ask him, shall we? - Okay.
Excuse me, Magic Castle.
How do you approach women?
Do you sing them songs?
- I don't sing songs. - I see.
- I use eye contact. - Oh, you use eye contact.
- He uses eye contacts. - That's the master's way.
- He's a player. - Right.
I think sincere eye contact is important.
You are confident about your eyes.
- I'm not. - Okay.
But if I really love a girl, I might be.
Too bad he can't show his eyes through his mask.
I noticed that while you were talking,
- no one laughed. - Yes.
That means he's really boring.
(He's really boring.)
- That wasn't expected. - He didn't talk much.
- He doesn't have a sense of humour? - Yes.
- He lacks a sense of humour. I see. - That's right.
I'll say one more thing.
The panellist shouted that they should go out.
And I observed to see how they would react.
- Magic Castle was calm. - He was calm.
- But she was really excited. - My goodness.
That means she has nothing to lose.
And I saw one thing while she sang on stage.
- She put her hand like this. - You mean the female vocalist?
And she kept making such gestures.
- It means she's married. - She's married?
- She had a ring on her finger, - I see.
- but today she left it behind. - Oh, okay.
I think...
she got a pretty big wedding band.
- Look at her hand now. - What are you, a fortune teller?
She made this gesture continuously.
- To show off her ring. - Magic Castle was calm.
But she was thrilled to hear that they should go out.
That's what I felt.
So I guess she is...
- an actress. - A married actress?
A married actress. And I think Magic Castle is...
- a very conscientious man. - Conscientious?
Jang Hyuk said a few things earlier.
But he could have ignored them.
Instead, he replied and said he thinks eye contact is important,
and that he didn't have many girlfriends.
I don't sing songs. I use eye contact.
I think sincere eye contact is important.
If I really love a girl, I might be.
Oh, you show a girl your sincerity.
- He speaks so much. - Yes he does.
That means that he didn't have much power in his life.
- He's conscious of others? - Yes.
- He talks endlessly. - He's timid.
- To persuade others. - Are you sure?
He's used to giving excuses.
- Because he has less power. - Yes.
Life Without Fail, do you have anything to say?
- Can I speak? - Of course.
He is very talkative.
Oh, is he?
She said that he is very talkative.
He makes people talk even though they don't want to.
I received an information.
The singers wait at the back before they sing.
When they were waiting, Magic Castle was very enthusiastic to talk her.
He wanted to see her eyes.
Also, I heard that he tried to woo her.
There were so many witnesses.
Would you care to explain?
First, I was wearing a mask,
so I couldn't make an eye contact.
Most importantly, here's what I asked.
I asked her occupation.
Also, I asked her if I should show her respect,
because I thought she is older than me and married.
- That's what I asked. - The matter of appellation.
- He lacks sense in talking. - Does he?
Usually, people don't ask what they should call each other.
They sit still and have time of their own.
But he never stops talking.
Hosting live shows with him might be really tiring.
(Hosting live shows with him will be really tiring.
I won't be able to stop him from talking.
Gu Ra is saying that he behaves tactlessly.
Do you think like that about yourself?
- I'm a bit tactless. I admit. - You hear that sometimes.
- He's a good boy. - Gu Ra was right about that.
Magic Castle.
- Yes. - Today isn't going well, right?
Yes.
What do you think is the reason?
I gave too many excuses.
- He's not so cool, either. - No, it's not that.
He's talkative, bears grudge and gives excuses.
He remembers everything you've said.
He will bear grudge.
My guess is that they are in their 20s.
- Both of them? - Both are in their 20s.
And I believe they are both idol singers.
They are both idol singers in their 20s.
One of them works occasionally as a solo artist.
And the other is a vocalist from a great group.
That's my guess.
- Is that so? - Yes.
It takes an idol star to recognise an idol star.
- Youn Ha. - Yes.
What do you think? You performed on musicals as well.
I'd like to ask her if she studied...
- vocal music. - Vocal music?
Yes. She sounds like she studied vocal music.
- Did she? - Especially her singing style.
So I'm guessing she is a musical actress.
But she didn't study vocal music.
- She studied pansori. - Really?
We will use voice modulation for this.
Please begin.
Chun Hyang and Mong Ryong sing serenade
(Flipping)
Come here
I will give you a piggyback ride
(Nice!)
Love, love, love
You are my love
(Giggling)
(She laughs.)
(She makes a funny noise.)
(She tries to contain her laughter.)
(Screaming)
What are you doing?
- I'm sorry. - Did you do it intentionally?
She laughs a lot.
She likes to laugh.
- This voice modulation... - It's funny.
- makes it hard to get right notes. - That's why I said not to use it.
We heard her pansori.
Now it's Magic Castle, who's having a rough day.
- Let's see something he does best. - Show us your best specialty.
He's good at dancing.
- At last. - Good.
(We are looking forward to it.)
He says he's good at dancing in trance.
- We'll try to cheer for you. - We promise to support you.
- They promised to cheer. - We'll cheer you on.
(Cheer up, Magic Castle.)
I'll hold your mike.
Let us play you a club music for dancing in trance.
Please play the music.
Good! Let's go!
You go, boy!
(My goodness.)
(He is a dancing machine.)
Dance with confidence.
(Confidence is rising from inside.)
That's good!
Wow, great! He's in trance.
(He's in trance.)
He's in trance. Okay, that was good.
- Well done. - It was a great dance!
- Good job. - He was really good.
- He was the best. - He is good.
He showed popping and krumping dance in that short time.
- He could dance anything. - He's a professional dancer, right?
I think he is. He's good at wave dance, too.
If he fails after all this, I'll feel sorry for him.
(If he fails after all this, I'll feel sorry for him.)
Why do you keep saying that he might fail?
I'm sorry.
I'll announce the result of the third match of Round One.
What will happen to the two masked singers...
who sang so lovingly together?
The winner of this match will be revealed now.
(Who will be the winner?)
(Their stage was passionate and refreshing.)
(His vibrato was smooth and deep, and her voice was so beautiful.)
The third winner who will move on to Round Two is...
The winner is...
I don't have a clue, really.
(Everybody is curious about the result.)
(Who would it be?)
Would it be the male vocalist or the female vocalist?
The winner of this match is...
(King of Mask Singer)
Magic Castle won.
(Magic Castle)
That's right!
(I knew it.)
Magic Castle defeated Life Without Fail.
He will move on to the next round.
He won with a final score of 64 to 35.
Congratulation. Move to the waiting room quickly.
- Don't say anything and go. - Have some confidence.
- Get ready quickly. - Speak less.
He's a bit startled.
(He laughs loudly.)
I tried not to think about the result.
And what if I lose?
(He sure is very talkative.)
We will reveal Life Without Fail's identity.
Give her a big hand.
(Who is Life Without Fail?)
- She has beauty of innocence. - She's married.
I think she might be a musical actress.
(What is her true identity hidden under the mask?)
("Love Is Like a Fragile Glass" by Won Joon Hee)
(A voice clear as glass)
(Oh!)
She might have been a singer, but I don't think she is one right now.
No, I think she's a singer, seeing how she breathes.
(I can't.)
(Her voice gently enters the heart...)
(and touches it.)
(Who are you?)
Life Without Fail, please remove your mask...
and show us who you are.
This is...
(Oh, my gosh.)
(What is the meaning of their reaction?)
- Who is it? - Show us who you are.
I think my guess is right.
This is...
(Who is this?)
Life Without Fail, please remove your mask...
and show us who you are.
This is...
Shoo from S.E.S., The idol group from the past.
(Oh, my gosh.)
(No one expected to see her.)
Shoo from S.E.S.
(Hello everyone, it's me.)
(Their jaws drop.)
(Everyone's happy to see her even though a long time has passed.)
(Shoo.)
(The guys have already formed a fan club.)
(He is pleased.)
(A performance by Shoo, who has matured over the years)
(Amazing!)
Life Without Fail.
We now know who she is.
This is Shoo from S.E.S.,
an extremely popular idol group from the past.
Please say hello to our audience and viewers.
Hello, I'm Shoo from S.E.S.
(S.E.S. had their debut in 1997 with the song "I'm Your Girl".)
(Shoo was the most popular member to the guys.)
(S.E.S. was the top girl group...)
(which topped numerous charts back in the days.)
(S.E.S. is the legendary idol group...)
(which was the ultimate super star in the 1990s,)
(receiving a lot of love from the public.)
(In 2010, Shoo married Im Hyo Sung, a former basketball player.)
(She is now a working mum who is raising three kids.)
Can you rock it harder, Mum?
Gu Ra guessed that you were married by looking at your hand gestures.
- Wasn't I accurate? - Yes, you were.
Everyone is glad to see you.
How does it feel to return to the stage?
I think the stage...
- is an oxygen-like place for me. - I see.
It was great to be able to sing in front of all these people today...
- although I was very nervous. - Were you?
The reason I decided to come here today is that...
my children don't know their mum was a singer once.
They never saw me sing on stage.
- I see. - Right,
so I wanted to show them how I am on stage.
Your children must be watching the show right now, right?
They probably are.
Do you want to say hello to your kids through the screen?
I...
(She feels shy all of a sudden.)
Tell them you were once a famous singer.
Yu, Ra Hui and Ra Yul,
did you see me just now?
I tried my best.
Please give her a round of applause.
(They are clapping for Shoo who is now a mother.)
- Why are you crying? - Her twins...
- Why are you crying? - I'm sorry.
- Why am I crying? - She's crying as a mum.
I'm sorry.
- No, that's fine. - Why am I like this?
We'll get increased viewership if you cry.
(They get higher ratings if someone cries on the show.)
But I really think...
a person is most beautiful...
when he or she is focusing on something.
I was happy I could focus on singing...
after such a long break.
I was happy. Another thing I felt was that...
singing on stage is harder than giving a birth.
Really?
You had a harder time...
preparing for this performance...
than the time when you gave birth to twin babies.
Today we saw the true value...
of Shoo, the original idol girl group,
who came back on stage after a seven-year-long break.
Please give her a round of applause.
- Thank you. - Great job today.
(We support your career as a mother and a singer.)
(Light steps)
Thank you.
(Laughing)
It's over.
I had a lot of fun today.
When I watch other shows that I starred in,
I was only shown as a mother,
so I felt a bit sad.
Today, I wanted to be seen as...
an independent woman and a singer.
Thank you for giving me the opportunity to...
pour my passion into music once again.
Thank you for the great memories.
Do You Believe in Magic Castle beats Shoo...
and moves on to Round Two.
The fourth match of Round One.
An incredible voice that transcends reality.
Unpredictable Andromeda.
(He appears, making weird gestures.)
(He has a large body frame.)
(He is the centre of everyone's attention.)
(He looks like a sturdy man.)
Wow, he looks great.
Going against him...
I will be judged by a wise voice.
Judgment of Solomon.
(He walks in like a gentleman.)
Doesn't he look like he'd be a bit old?
(The singers seem extraordinary even from their first appearance.)
He has a huge physique.
(However...)
Andromeda, what's wrong?
What are you doing?
He rotated on his axis.
(Solomon's outfit looks extremely fancy.)
- His gloves are golden. - He looks like an ascetic.
He looks so cool.
His suit depicts the outer space.
He seems to work out a lot.
He has charisma.
(The two masked singers both give strong impressions.)
(What song will they sing?)
("Someone's Dream" by Spring Summer Autumn Winter)
(The bass and saxophone make a joyous rhythm.)
(The groovy rhythm is making everyone wants to dance.)
(His unique husky voice hangs low.)
His voice sounds like that of the Great Jade Emperor.
(His voice deeply echoes like he's singing in a cave.)
His voice is different.
(Andromeda's voice is softer and cleaner than that of Solomon.)
(Go, saxophone.)
(They are making a great harmony with two different voices.)
(They start to get excited.)
(Swaying)
(The masked singers start dancing on the stage.)
I like it!
(They can't help but to dance to the exciting rhythm.)
I don't think he is a singer.
(Solomon's singing becomes faster as he gets excited.)
(He is a little off beat.)
(Solomon is singing off beat.)
He's off beat, isn't he?
(He is baffled singing with Solomon.)
(But Andromeda starts singing on beat again.)
(Solomon is so into the song that he can't stay on beat.)
(But they enjoy the performance to the fullest.)
(They did their best for a passionate performance.)
(This is exciting!)
Who are they?
- Who are they? - I have no idea.
I love their voices.
The last duet match of Round One is finally over.
Whose voice did you like better?
Unpredictable Andromeda and Judgement of Solomon.
You should choose the last winner of Round One.
All votes are in.
Please say hello to the viewers.
Andromeda goes first.
(Hesitant)
(Leaning back)
(What is going on?)
(He is an unpredictable masked singer from another planet.)
Hello.
(Baffled)
(It is his own way to make a bow in Andromeda.)
Okay. Please tell us your name.
- I'm Unpredictable Andromeda. - Okay.
He seems a bit unique.
And it is Judgement of Solomon's turn.
(I should do something, too.)
(What is this now?)
(They are not sure what he's doing.)
(But they are entangled by his charms.)
(He looks like an ascetic...)
(who is free from the universe.)
(In a daze)
(Acting silly)
Hello, I'm Judgement of Solomon.
It is nice to see you. I've wanted to be here so much.
I'd like to thank the panellists.
Hyun Chul, you looked very excited to see their performance.
(Hesitant)
Are they singers?
(Are they singers?)
- Both of them? - Of all performances I've seen...
on this show, Solomon was the only one...
who sang wrong notes.
(Embarrassed)
He was about one and half notes off.
(One and half notes off)
It was too high.
(This is how the original song sounds like.)
(I don't have any dream)
He knows that he is charismatic.
And he doesn't know he was singing...
- off-pitch. - He doesn't know that.
He knows that he is charismatic,
but he doesn't know he is off-pitch.
Once he got excited, it became worse.
And he sang faster than the beat, too.
- It can happen to anyone. - It is rather a criticism.
He just criticised your performance.
- He has a good point. - I see.
Whenever I sing a song, I get too excited.
And it increases the tempo.
But as you just mentioned, I didn't know I was singing off-key.
(I didn't know I was singing off-key.)
- Did you just find out? - Yes.
- You didn't know you were off-key. - No.
- Now that you heard their review... - I was very confident about it.
I don't think he is an entertainer.
I think he is a retired athlete.
He could be a sport commentator.
(He could be a sport commentator.)
(Flinch)
(Excuse me...)
- You don't have to comment on it. - What kind of sports?
What kind of sports?
Are you saying that you are a commentator?
(He forgot that he is wearing a mask.)
You don't have to tell them everything.
And you don't have to ask them.
You have to hide your identity since you are wearing a mask.
You are not supposed to ask them such questions.
- He must be a referee or a judge. - You can put down the mike.
- That's it. Time's up. - He is a judge.
- You can't talk to him. - Pull up the mike.
Let's talk about Andromeda.
When I saw him coming out,
he was turning around squatting.
When I saw that,
I thought something was weird.
Did he look weird?
When I saw him dancing,
I thought he was like Hong Rok Ki.
- I see. - Hong Rok Ki.
(He was a popular comedian and singer in 1990s.)
(He was a talented and energetic entertainer.)
Andromeda was dancing like a DJ.
By the way, I think...
when people who are not singers sing in this programme,
they should sing like him.
When I saw Solomon singing,
I don't think it was a head voice or chest voice. It was a hair voice.
His voice sounded a bit hairy.
(He has never heard such a hairy voice before.)
He sounds tough.
(There are thee kinds of vocalisation methods.)
(First, a chest voice of Jo Su Mi)
(Second, a nasal voice of Kim Gun Mo)
(Third, a head voice of Kim Kyung Ho)
(But he introduced a new vocalisation method, a hair voice.)
I like it.
It is a good idea.
- He sounds hairy. - I like the expression.
He says he is good at sports.
And he is especially good at shadow-boxing.
- What is shadow-boxing? - Shadow-boxing.
(That is for him.)
Is it for him? Isn't it for Solomon?
Hang on.
How did you know that he is good at shadow-boxing?
I saw him doing it when we practised together.
Did you practise singing together earlier?
- Yes. - Okay.
Did you see that? He's saying things that he's not supposed to say.
He keeps telling us things he shouldn't say.
He is so easy to fool.
He is very easy.
It seems both of them...
like sports.
Solomon is good at kung fu.
And Andromeda is good at shadow-boxing.
Then please show us your shadow-boxing.
(Nimble-footed)
(He is bulky but nimble-footed.)
- Jab! - Wow.
- He is good at it. - One, two.
- One, two! - He's good.
Jab! One, two and uppercut!
- He is good. - It is martial arts.
Good. Upper cut! One, two.
He is good at it.
It was Andromeda.
(Unpredictable Andromeda looks manly and tough.)
Is he a kick boxer or something?
- Is he Kim Dong Hyun? - He looks like an athlete.
I don't think he is Kim Dong Hyun.
Can you spar with each other?
(Can you spar with each other?)
He is good at shadow boxing.
It is like a boxing versus king fu in "Street Fighter".
- It's okay to ruin your costume. - Okay.
- He has muscular legs. - I knew it.
Wow, it is amazing.
(His leg looks strong.)
Look at his calf muscles!
Play the music.
- He is a sportsman. - He is an athlete.
(However...)
(Punching)
(He punched the opponent for real.)
Oh my goodness.
The kung fu man is winning.
(Solomon keeps beating the opponent.)
(He is punching the opponent for real.)
(Stepping back)
I got it.
While Andromeda tried to make people laugh, Solomon punched him for real.
(Solomon punched him for real.)
He punched the opponent for real.
- He hit me in the stomach for real. - I knew it.
I know a man who punches a person for real in TV shows.
- He is Lee Gye In. - Lee Gye In!
I will go down.
(He is scary.)
How can you sing a song like that?
You idiot. You can't do that.
- I know he is like Lee Gye In. - I agree.
Why did you hit the opponent in the stomach?
- I didn't know that. - What did you not know?
I can't see properly with this mask on.
But you could have felt his stomach on your fist.
Yes. He had good abdominal muscles.
Did he have good abdominal muscles?
He's telling us everything.
It seems like he has abs.
(He has unpredictable innocence.)
He says Andromeda has good abdominal muscles.
Excuse me. Is there your close friend among us?
(Yes!)
- Yes. - Hang on.
- Don't reveal too much information. - He has friends among us.
Who could he be?
He answers whatever question you ask.
It seems like you will answer if they ask, "What is your name?"
Tell me this. Is your friend in the front row or the back row?
- They are in both rows. - He has friends in both rows.
- He must be someone famous. - My goodness.
- He has friends in both rows. - He is someone famous.
All right. This time,
Solomon will show you a dance.
Give us the music. This is the Scale Dance.
(Swinging)
(He is good at popping.)
He is a good dancer. How does he do that?
(Agile)
(He pulls off difficult dance moves.)
(He has great dancing skills.)
(Trembling)
(He freely moves his joints.)
(Solomon is the master of popping.)
All right.
He has to be a celebrity.
I know. There is no way he is an athlete.
- How can an athlete dance so well? - Seriously.
I think he is a celebrity.
I enjoy dancing as much as I enjoy singing.
- That's why I can do both. - All right.
He enjoys both singing and dancing.
- That's what we learned from him. - Before you got married,
did you enjoy drinking as well as singing and dancing?
I still enjoy all of them.
- She got him. - He is married.
- It is so easy to make him talk. - You really need to stop.
- Don't spill information. - He is married.
She asked you that question to figure out if you are married.
Solomon, Solomon.
- Yes? - What is your name?
(What is your name?)
(Dizzy)
- It's Solomon. - It's Solomon.
- That's too bad. - It's Solomon.
He didn't fall for that one.
It's Solomon. Gosh, it could have been disastrous.
Solomon can imitate Nami's voice.
(He will sing "Hateful Really Beautiful Chisel" by Nami.)
We will turn off the voice modulator.
My love is leaving
My love
Is leaving me
(Oh my gosh.)
He just singing a song he likes.
- He should just go to a karaoke. - It must be his favourite song.
He is simply singing Nami's song. This is not a voice imitation.
(This is not a voice imitation.)
All right.
No one sings that song to imitate Nami's voice.
This voice imitation will be good.
He will now imitate Cho Yong Pil's voice.
(Expectant)
Who said
That love is beautiful
(He sounds nothing like Cho Yong Pil.)
He just sang his favourite song of Cho Yong Pil.
(You just sang your favourite song of Cho Yong Pil.)
- It must be a song he sings often. - It will dissipate his stress.
- He sounded similar at first. - I say this with certainty.
We wouldn't know him even if we were given his initials.
(Laughing)
I am serious. I have no idea who he is.
- His initials won't help us. - If I give you his initials...
- I still wouldn't know who he is. - You wouldn't?
- No, I wouldn't. - People in the back row...
are wondering if he is a non-celebrity.
His initials won't help us.
- Just an ordinary person? - He could be an office worker.
- His initials won't help us. - Panellists, you are mistaken.
His identity will surprise you.
It's too bad that you don't have a clue. To give you a hint,
I will reveal facial photos...
- of these two masked singers. - We will learn their identities.
- They will help with your guess. - I imagine...
Solomon's photos to be black and white...
even if they were taken recently.
(I imagine Solomon's photos to be black and white.)
- That's what I think. - How did she know?
(How did she know?)
- Was it taken decades ago? - Was the photo leaked?
Let's see Andromeda's photo.
- Andromeda is the crying child. - Is that him?
It was taken during a family trip he went on when he was four.
He is crying because he is unsatisfied with something.
- That is Andromeda. - Who is he?
It's a colour photo. Let's see the next photo.
We'll now reveal the childhood photo of Solomon.
Solomon.
- Wait a minute. - Come on.
- Which one of them is Solomon? - This was taken...
when he was in third grade.
Solomon is the one holding the baby.
That's right. My goodness, you should know who he is by now.
How does that photo help?
- Will his identity surprise us? - It most definitely will.
- Really? - Yes.
I will now reveal the result.
Between the two masked singers with different charms,
who touched the audience's hearts more?
The winner will be revealed now.
Who is the winner?
(Who is the winner?)
(This confident man has a passion for music.)
(Solomon gave the performance all his might.)
(He has great vocalisation and a beautiful voice.)
(Andromeda enjoyed the stage more than anyone.)
Who will move on to Round Two?
The winner is...
(Drum roll)
(Who will be the winner of this match?)
The winner...
of this match is...
(The mysterious music show, King of Mask Singer)
The winner is...
(Unpredictable Andromeda won.)
Andromeda won.
I am glad. Andromeda did a better job.
- Andromeda won. - Andromeda.
(I lost.)
(Congratulations, Andromeda.)
Unpredictable Andromeda won.
The final score was 63 to 36.
Andromeda defeated Solomon by a large margin...
and moved on to Round Two.
Please give him a round of applause.
You did a good job.
(Solomon's identity will be revealed shortly afterwards.)
I moved on to the next round.
I won't be going home until later.
Solomon, you are a man of many talents.
Panellists have tried in vain to guess your identity.
Even though you received criticism on how off-pitch you were,
all of us could tell...
that you have passion and love for music.
I learned...
that I must control my emotions when I sing.
That's what you learned from your performance.
I realised that key and beat are crucial in all music.
It seems like you learned many things.
Who could he be?
- He is very charming. - I know.
You will be surprised when he takes off his mask.
Let's listen to his song...
and check out his identity. Give him a round of applause.
(Who is this charming man?)
I think he is a retired athlete.
I think he might be a sports commentator.
People in the back row are wondering if he is a non-celebrity.
- Just an ordinary person? - He could be an office worker.
("My Heart Has Nowhere to Go" by Choi Baek Ho)
(His voice has turned deep.)
(He can sing very well.)
(That was unexpected.)
(He expresses sorrow with his deep voice.)
(His trembling voice carries his honesty.)
(Who could Solomon be?)
Solomon,
please take off your mask and reveal your identity.
Please reveal your identity.
Who is he?
(Who is he?)
- He is... - Please show your face.
(Please show your face.)
(Staring)
He is...
is an actor with 36 years of experience,
Son Byong Ho.
(No one knew who he was.)
(Their jaws drop.)
(Everyone is surprised.)
You have something on your face.
(It's cotton pad from the mask.)
(He hasn't realised he has something on his face.)
(Even if he's not a singer,)
(his sincere singing touches our hearts.)
(Nice!)
(Immersed)
(It's a moving performance beyond competition.)
(Actor Son Byong Ho showed us his hidden sentimentality.)
My goodness.
His whole life was in the song.
He's surprising us until the end.
You have something on your face.
The identity of Solomon has been revealed.
What's on your face? You make us laugh until the end.
We can't stop him.
Cotton pads are on his face.
He is a veteran actor.
He is Son Byong Ho.
- All right. - Thank you.
(He made his debut as a stage actor in 1981.)
(He starred in movies "Pairan", "Oasis" and "Running Wild" and...)
(in dramas "Inside the White Tower", "Bridal Mask" and "Mrs. Cop".)
(He's famous for his excellent acting for villain roles.)
(The Son Byong Ho Game named after him is popular.)
(He's also a talented comic dancer and entertainer.)
I put cotton balls not to scratch against the mask.
But they were stuck to my face with the sweat.
I'm sorry.
But wasn't it funny to look at, right?
Thank you.
But you were very different...
when you sang solo from when you sang a duet.
When you started your solo, the audience stirred.
We wondered Choi Baek Ho was singing here himself.
There were wild guesses.
(In a sad tone,)
(Solomon evokes the atmosphere of autumn.)
Is he a singer?
He must be a singer.
You must have been nervous at first.
I was so desperate to win in Round One.
While I was singing in Round One,
I knew I was singing faster, but I couldn't control myself.
I said to myself, "You are singing too fast. Stop. Slow down."
But I couldn't slow down as my emotions got charged.
Are you saying you didn't think highly of Andromeda?
I heard him sing when we had a rehearsal.
I thought I could easily win.
(I thought I could easily win.)
(Andromeda was distracted.)
(He was also a bit nervous.)
(He's a sitting duck.)
One thing was clear.
- His voice was good. - His voice was good.
So I thought he must be a singer.
But in terms of energy...
- That song needs lots of energy. - It does.
I thought I was better than him in terms of energy.
So I was determined to win him with my energy.
I intended to be charismatic.
But I lost the control of my tempo.
(He lost the control of tempo.)
Hyun Chul, do you want to give a comment?
I always believe that the essence of singing is...
to convey words...
- carried in tunes. - I agree.
His delivery of lyrics was really great.
You said you wanted to show your children more than anyone else...
that you took the challenge of singing at King of Mask Singer.
I have two daughters.
They like idol singers' music so much.
They tell me to enjoy and listen to the music they like.
Even if I don't know popular music in trend,
I still like the songs I used to sing when I was young.
I'll let you hear my songs today.
I'm not a person who hates music.
I love music and I'm a good singer.
Of course, I was disqualified in Round One.
But whether I win or lose is not important.
To take a challenge and...
to enjoy it is the most important.
- That's what I want to tell them. - All right.
(He's a nice father.)
At least today,
he is not the actor who plays roles of tough and evil villains.
He is a sentimental and mellow singer...
that we've never known.
Please give him a round of applause.
- Thank you. - You did a good job.
(Your effort was beautiful.)
(He looks relieved.)
This gave me a chance to take a new challenge.
Singing is always enjoyable.
I wish I could've done better.
But, I'll still be satisfied.
By any chance, if I could get another chance,
I'd be willing to take it again.
I'll practise harder then.
(Real Men 2 is coming soon.)
