The mysterious music show, King of Mask Singer!
Last week,
he gave yet another breathtaking performance and took his ninth win.
He is the AlphaGo of music scene and the 30th King of Mask Singer.
Music Commander in My Town!
(Music Commander in My Town)
(It's nice to meet you.)
Break free from your standards and biases!
The voice behind a mask is the only rule in this world.
I am your unbiased show host, Kim Seong Ju.
(Kim Seong Ju)
(It's good to see you.)
Music Commander wrote history with his nine consecutive wins.
He will now aim to make the record with his 10th win.
Music Commander, how does it feel to aim for 10 consecutive wins?
Had I foreseen this,
I would have bought this robe.
- I borrow the robe every week. - I see.
Plus, it's getting quite hot.
(He say it's getting hot.)
My determination stays the same.
I won't worry about the outcome nor be greedy about winning.
I will fully devote myself to provide the listeners...
happiness and joy. Thank you.
All right.
(We look forward to it.)
The mask looks bigger now that he has lost weight.
Many people are excited...
by Music Commander's reign. Here are a few public opinions.
"Music Commander will win even if he sings a gospel song."
(Music Commander will win even if he sings a gospel song.)
"The production team should make a summer robe for Music Commander."
These were many public opinions.
Music Commander now aims for 10 consecutive wins.
It must be a stressful ordeal,
which is proven by his legs that have become skinnier.
There is a rumour that he has a bloody stool.
- My goodness, that's horrible. - I heard a rumour.
He is under a lot of stress,
so we've strengthened the panellists both in quantity and quality.
- I see. - If you take a look,
you'll see that my left side has become brighter.
- It is. - "Like OOH-AHH" and "CHEER UP"...
both topped the music charts.
- Excuse me. - Here are members of TWICE.
Tzuyu and Chaeyoung!
(Tzuyu and Chaeyoung of TWICE)
Tzuyu and Chaeyoung.
(It's good to see you.)
Gu Ra, you don't know TWICE very well, do you?
Of course I do.
- They are Tzuyu and Chaeyoung. - You stuttered quite a bit.
Jeongyeon and Nayeon. I know all members.
Their song is topping all music charts.
Cheer up, baby Cheer up, baby
Gather your energy
Please sing the song for Music Commander.
- All right. - It will energise him.
(Happy)
- He is exhausted. - In 3, 4.
- Cheer up, baby - Cheer up, baby
- Gather your energy - Gather your energy
- Good luck, Music Commander! - Good luck!
Good luck, Music Commander! Thank you very much.
We look forward to your performance.
He is the man who showed us...
unexpected charms last week.
He became the first comedian to rap and gave us a nice performance.
He is the handsome comedian, Kim Ki Lee!
Kim Ki Lee!
- Hello, Kim Ki Lee. - He is Kim Ki Lee.
He is here again.
You are quite a good rapper.
- Can you rap about how you feel? - With a rap?
- Is it too difficult for you? - Am I supposed to do it right away?
We don't usually do this.
- I will try my best then. - Okay.
I will rap the first verse...
of "Loner" in one breath.
In one breath?
He will show his determination...
for this programme by rapping in one breath. He is Kim Ki Lee.
Let's go!
Is there anyone to heal my wound? If I leave it alone,
It's going to continue to get worse I'm really scared of love and people
I'm afraid of being alone I'm afraid of being forgotten
Is there anyone to heal my wound? It will get worse If I leave it
I'm really scared of love and people
I'm afraid of being alone I'm afraid of being forgotten
(He raps all this in one breath.)
He is out of breath. Do a little more! Good.
You are doing a good job.
That was good. Thank you.
I look forward to seeing his performance as a panellist.
Now, I'm going to introduce...
the masked singers who will sing a duet for Round One.
(The first match of Round One begins now.)
(The mysterious music show, King of Mask Singer)
The first match of Round One.
The ruler of voice who roams about the world.
Street Musician!
(Street Musician)
(He walks to the stage as he plays a melodeon.)
I will play your heart.
(Making a V sign)
(He's playing the melodeon with every part of his body.)
(He looks cute.)
- He gets into the rhythm. - What is he doing?
(What is he doing?)
- He's funny. - Why does he walk like he is drunk?
His opponent...
is an artist of vocal cords who can move people.
Mr Kim the Artist!
(Mr Kim the Artist)
(Hesitant)
(Walking gracefully)
I will invite you to...
the avant-garde world of music.
(How? Gracefully.)
(He is good-looking.)
Wow!
(Surprised)
- He is very tall. - Yes.
He is like Daddy Long Legs.
Who is he? Is he a singer?
I don't know. I should listen to his song to figure it out.
(He is right.)
(The two masked singers catch people's attention from the start.)
(The panellists' expectations are growing bigger.)
(What will Street Musician and The Artist sing together?)
("Like the Mighty Salmon Swimming up the River" by Kang San Eh)
- Is this "Like The Mighty Salmon"? - Yes, it is.
("Like the Mighty Salmon Swimming up the River" by Kang San Eh)
(His powerful voice sounds very energetic.)
(He sings like a rock musician with a powerful voice.)
(He is a good singer.)
(I like his voice.)
(His husky voice catches the ears of the panellists.)
(He seems to have a lot of stage experiences.)
(House Band)
Both of them are good singers. It is a match of voice tones.
- Their voices sound very stable. - I agree.
They do sound like salmons.
They are both powerful.
(He is so good.)
(I have no idea who they are.)
(Who are these singers with such distinctive voices?)
I love it.
(Wow!)
(It was a powerful performance of two energetic men.)
(It is so refreshing!)
It feels cool.
They are so good.
They are great singers.
Maybe Music Commander will face a crisis today.
- They are so good. - I love their voice.
Me, too.
The first match of Round One is over.
The two masked singers who look like artists...
tried their best to move on to...
Round Two.
Whose voice did the unbiased audience like better?
All votes are in.
Street Musician, please say hello to the viewers.
Hello.
(Hello.)
I'm the wandering...
- Street Musician. - Okay.
He looks like he is in pain.
I just want to be on TV as long as possible.
Okay. I see.
(He is weird.)
Okay. And we have...
Mr Kim the Artist here. Please say hello.
Say, say, say. Microphone check.
In 1, 2, 3 and 4.
Hello. I'm Mr Kim the Artist.
Okay.
He is very tall.
First, I'd like to hear Cho Jang Hyuk's analysis.
I want to talk about playing hard to get today.
As I heard Mr Kim the Artist singing,
I saw him inhaling and exhaling his emotions...
to pace himself.
It is not something that an amateur can easily do.
I think he is an actor.
- Isn't he a singer? - No.
I think he is good at controlling his emotions.
And Street Musician also...
pushed and pulled his breath as he sang.
- His breath? - Yes.
How do you push and pull your breath?
- How? - Let's say I'm pushing my breath.
Like the mighty salmon
This is why he sings with a husky voice.
- He pushes out his breath. - I see.
Like the mighty salmon
Swimming up the river
- This is pulling. - I see.
Swimming up the river
- This is it. - He is an expert indeed.
- He is good at it. - Yes, he is.
I'm sure he is a singer. And I guess he is about my age.
- Do you think he is a singer? - Yes.
Can you guess his age then?
- Is he about your age? - Maybe he is in his late 30s.
He's about my age.
Hang on. Are you younger than me?
(Are you younger than me?)
- I didn't know that. - This is embarrassing.
- So you think he is about your age. - Yes.
About your age. Okay.
And what about you, Young Seok? Tell us how you felt.
As I heard...
Street Musician's voice,
I thought his voice was very mature.
His singing had the dry taste of...
red wine that has been matured for 30 years.
- The wine made by a master. - Right.
- On the other hand, The Artist... - Yes.
sounded fresh, because he didn't use much technique.
I felt like looking at a salmon that swims upstream in a river.
- What does that mean? - What does that mean?
- What was that? - You started with wine...
- Gosh. - and ended with salmon.
- What is that? - He was acting.
He was acting a vigorous salmon.
In short, I'm saying he is an actor.
- You think he is an actor? - Yes.
- Street Musician is a singer, - Yes.
so he looked at the whole picture and put detail in every verse.
The Artist is an actor,
so he thought what he needed to do was to act a vigorous salmon.
Just like Jang Hyuk mentioned earlier,
- you think he is an actor. - Yes.
In my opinion,
he is aiming for the King of Mask Singer.
Oh, you mean the Street Musician.
- You can sense it from his outfit. - Is that so?
Because what he's wearing is for summer.
(What he's wearing is for summer.)
That's right. He can take off his top...
like a Roman gladiator.
- Take off his top? - Yes.
- You want him to wear only this. - That's right.
- You want him to be bold. - That's right.
When it gets hotter, he may change his trousers to short ones.
You're right. He won't have to wear them.
- He won't need long ones. - Yes.
All right.
- He sings well, but I think... - Yes.
people around him don't really appreciate him.
- He's acting too frivolously. - Okay.
As for The Artist,
I believe Seong Ju is...
- about 174cm tall. - It's 175cm.
It doesn't make any difference.
You're making me shorter and shorter.
Seong Ju is about 174 to 175cm tall.
But his shoulders are about 10cm higher than Seong Ju.
I thought of celebrities who are tall like him,
and I think his initial is L.K.W.
- L.K.W? You think he's an actor. - Yes. He is L.K.W.
Yes. I think he's L.K.W.
L.K.W. Who would that be?
Did you say Lee Ki Woo?
- They're good. - Are they? Were they right?
- They're good. - The audience agrees with Gu Ra.
That's right.
(He's tall and has wide shoulders.)
(Lee Ki Woo starred in the TV drama "Miss Korea".)
- L.K.W. - He's tall and his shoulders are...
wide. He's probably Lee Ki Woo.
Lee Ki Woo.
- He's denying it. - He's shaking his head.
- Of course you would deny it. - I'm not him.
- Which actress do you like? - Actress?
Lee Ki Woo went public with his girlfriend.
That's right. It must be hard to answer that question.
- Which actress do you like? - Stop it.
Why are you stopping me?
This is what I do for living.
(Why are you stopping me? This is what I do for living.)
Which actress do you like?
(What should I do?)
You may not answer him if you feel uncomfortable.
He feels uncomfortable.
(Gu Ra doesn't know what to say.)
Very well.
Now, I'll help you guess who they are.
Street Musician,
I heard you prepared waist bouncing dance.
I guess he'll bounce his waist.
Please show us. Great.
Start the music, please.
(Shall we have some fun?)
Let's see how well he bounces his waist.
Waist bouncing dance.
(Ready)
Here we go.
(My goodness.)
Here we go.
(Bouncing)
He's keeping his arms close to his body.
Great. Bouncing the waist is what's important.
He's keeping other parts still.
Bouncing the waist is key.
(My goodness.)
(Excited)
Yes. That's it.
- It was his waist bouncing dance. - He looks old.
- Seong Ju. - Yes?
- He's definitely an old man. - Definitely old?
- Also... - Did it show that he's old?
- It's a shame that he sings well. - What do you mean?
He's putting his good singing to shame.
- You mean his singing earlier. - Yes.
Good. Now, let's hear The Artist's voice imitation.
Is it true that you can mimic the voice of Lee Jung Jae?
(Surprised)
- Yes, I can. - Really?
- Yes. - All right. This is the voice of...
Lee Jung Jae from the movie, "The Face Reader".
(Let's hear it.)
"Do I have a face of a king?"
(Surprised)
"I won't bother you with all the questions."
(What is that?)
You said Lee Jung Jae, not Lee Soon Jae.
It's Lee Jung Jae, right? It's not Lee Soon Jae.
Everyone. This time,
Street Musician suggested to have a match on whose voice can go lower.
You said you wanted it, right?
(He said it, not me.)
Is he the one who said it?
Was it you?
(Embarrassed)
Was it you, The Artist?
- Yes. It was me. - I see.
- Okay. - Anyway, somebody wanted it.
I just got confused.
Now, let's have a match on whose voice can go lower.
I'll give you the first tone.
Take turns and go lower. All right.
Do
(They're singing the same tone.)
- Do - Do
- Do, do - Do, do, do
Great. You have good sense of pitch.
Do
Go lower from this tone.
- Do - Do
Ti
Wait a minute.
Didn't you go down too much?
Let's do it again. Go.
- Ti - Ti
- La - La
- So - So
- Fa - Fa
- Mi - Mi
What was that?
Mi
- Re - Re
Do
Let's go a little lower.
- Ti - Ti
La
Forget it.
Come on, The Artist.
La
(It's not over yet.)
So
(His low-pitched voice is amazing.)
I think we went 300m down. So.
Let's do a Fa.
Fa
(It's becoming harder to watch.)
Mi.
(We can now only hear the sound of breath.)
Go a little lower.
Come on. Go lower.
Mi
Mi. All right. He did it.
Let's do a Re. This will be the last.
If you make it, you win. Re.
Re
(Growling)
- Let's stop. - What was that, a monster?
- That's enough. - Are you a monster?
He came from the underworld.
Are you the Frankenstein?
I can't decide who won.
- I think I know who The Artist is. - Yes.
Oh Chang Seok was here as Little Prince.
I think The Artist is the actor who starred in...
- "Princess Aurora" with Chang Seok. - Okay.
- I think he is the actor... - The actor?
Seo Ha Jun.
- Seo Ha Jun. - Yes.
(He starred in "Princess Aurora" as the rival of Oh Chang Seok.)
(Seo Ha Jun has an attractive low-pitched voice.)
I think he's Seo Ha Jun.
- Seo Ha Jun. All right. - Yes.
What do you think of Seo Ha Jun?
I don't know who he is.
- You don't know him. - No.
- He doesn't know who he is. - Do you have a girlfriend?
He's asking if you have a girlfriend.
(Gu Ra still believes that he is Lee Ki Woo.)
All right. Now, I'm going to announce the result of...
this match.
Street Musician and The Artist have shown us...
a great stage.
The winner of this duet match, the one who left bigger impression...
on your mind,
is going to be revealed now.
Who is going to win?
(He ardently expressed the emotion of the song.)
(The Artist's singing is as clean as that of a rock singer.)
(He has a surprisingly rough and husky voice.)
(Street Musician completely understood the tone of the song.)
The first masked singer...
who's going to make it...
to Round Two.
The winner is...
- The winner is... - The winner is...
(It was a very tough match.)
(Who will be the winner?)
Who is it?
Who won?
Is it Street Musician or The Artist?
The winner of this match is...
Street Musician.
Goodness.
It's surprising.
- Come on! - Yes.
Great!
(The rough and husky voice wins.)
(Congratulations!)
Let's make it to the Final Match, Street Musician.
Street Musician beat Mr Kim the Artist.
The final score is 68 to 31.
Street Musician won by more than 30 votes.
Street Musician, please return to the waiting room.
Give him a big round of applause.
(The Artist's identity will be revealed shortly.)
All right.
(He loosens up and stumbles a bit.)
(Sighing)
I wanted to at least move on to Round Two, and I made it.
(Let's go!)
(He keeps trying to be funny.)
Now, we will...
see who Mr Kim the Artist is.
Would he be the person that you suspect?
He'll sing the song he prepared for the next round.
Let's find out who he is.
Please give him a round of applause.
I think he's really good at controlling his feelings.
I think he is an actor.
He's probably Lee Ki Woo.
I think he's Seo Ha Jun.
- Seo Ha Jun? - Yes.
(Who is this person, proud of his low-pitched voice?)
- Let's stop. - Who are you, a monster?
("The Road to Me" by Sung Si Kyung)
(He has a rocker's voice, but why did he pick this song?)
(He's surprised.)
(Unlike the previous song where he sounded like a rocker,)
(his voice is sweet like honey.)
(Wow!)
(He's awesome.)
(His voice is so sweet...)
(that it makes all the panellists fall for him.)
Mr Kim the Artist, please take off your mask...
and show your face.
(Who is Mr Kim the Artist?)
(Screaming)
(My goodness!)
- Who is it? - This is...
- They're going crazy. - What is it?
Who is it?
(What's going on? Who is it?)
This is...
actor Kang Ji Sub who has been acting for 12 years.
(Actor Kang Ji Sub?)
(He always seemed rough.)
(Nobody knew he had such a sweet voice.)
My goodness.
(My goodness.)
(He's been playing serious and manly roles for 12 years.)
I'm a prosecutor before I'm your friend.
(He's been playing faithful and romantic roles for 12 years.)
(He's famous for his chiselled body.)
Kang Ji Sub is in.
Kang Ji Sub gets in first, Robin second.
(The next big star, actor Kang Ji Sub)
(He has a sweet voice and a handsome face.)
(All the female panellists are making a fuss.)
- I told you he was handsome. - He really is.
(Nobody expected it to be Ji Sub.)
(The celebrity panellists keep saying "awesome".)
(He looks shy.)
(Actor Kang Ji Sub takes on a new challenge.)
("The Road to Me" by Kang Ji Sub in his sweet low voice)
(Heart-melting)
My heart is melting.
(He stole the hearts of both men and women.)
Mr Kim the Artist is...
Kang Ji Sub.
Please say hello to the viewers.
Hello, I'm actor Kang Ji Sub.
Great.
His low voice...
- is amazing. - He's handsome.
You said the reason you came on the show was because...
you wanted to break the prejudice people have...
- of your real voice. - Yes.
I made my debut with a womanly voice.
(What?)
- It was "Dear Heaven". - "Dear Heaven".
- I have a really low voice. - Okay.
The writer suggested me to...
- act with a higher tone. - I see.
So I went with a high-pitched voice.
People misunderstood my gender.
(His sexual orientation was misunderstood.)
- I guess you did a great job. - I was really immersed in the role.
- Yes. - What was the voice like?
- It was high. - Can you try it?
- I don't know if I can do it. - The drama...
he made his debut with was a huge hit.
People probably remember how you sounded.
(Speaking in high tone)
"Why did you do that?" It's not working right now.
(He makes everyone burst into laughter.)
- Was that it? - It's because...
- he just sang. - It's been 10 years already.
Usually the voice won't come out after singing.
- I see. - Was it that high-pitched?
Why are you in such a good mood?
What?
I'm still young. I'll have more opportunities.
That was the prejudice you wanted to break.
Also, I had more skills to show you.
- Really? - Yes.
- Really? - Show us then.
I had more things prepared but he didn't ask.
- What was it? - What else was there?
I asked all the questions I was given.
I can mimic Hong Jin Young.
- Hong Jin Young? - Yes.
- Let's see it then. - Show us.
- He's talking about "You". - Okay.
We would love to see it.
Okay, Hong Jin Young.
"Kim Gu Ra, you."
(Kim Gu Ra, you.)
(He's good.)
I really wanted to do this.
You do it better without the mask.
I won't wear it any more.
People say you're girly because you keep saying, "Kim Gu Ra, you."
- You shouldn't do it. - Okay.
- Only use your low voice. - Okay.
Today, he broke the prejudice people had about his voice.
He sang with an appealing low voice.
Please give Ji Sub a big hand.
(We'll look forward to seeing you.)
(Ji Sub briskly walks down the stairs.)
After performing on King of Mask Singer,
I became more interested in learning more about music.
I'd love to work on original sound tracks of a drama.
I also want to try musicals if I get a chance.
I want to work more to make myself known to the public.
I'll hope for the best and do my best.
(King of Mask Singer will cheer for you!)
After the first match of Round One, Street Musician...
beat Ji Sub and moved on to Round Two.
The second match of Round One.
She will jump right into your heart.
She has a captivating voice.
It's Rabbit Girl Bani Bani!
(Rabbit Girl Bani Bani)
(She's cute.)
(As she appears,)
(men go crazy.)
- Gosh. - She's pretty.
(Hopping)
Up against Bani Bani is...
the one with a pure voice.
My Love My Bride!
(My Love My Bride)
(She walks in shyly with a bouquet.)
(She's a bride in white.)
(It looks romantic.)
She's wearing a real wedding dress.
- She's a lot like Catgirl. - You're right.
She's all covered up, but she's so sexy.
(Cute versus sexy)
(Look over here.)
(Yes, My Love My Bride.)
(Catch it!)
(Got it!)
That's nice.
I want to catch one, too.
I should've gotten that bouquet.
Doesn't she look like Lee So Ra all covered up?
She has a great musical energy.
Bani Bani is just lovely.
(Two masked singers with totally different vibes)
(What kind of performance will they present?)
("Lonely" by 2NE1)
(Unlike her cute appearance, she has a rich voice.)
(That's nice.)
(They're surprised.)
(She has an impressively penetrating voice.)
(They both seem to have a lot of experience singing.)
(Bani Bani has a very soulful voice.)
(A sentimentality of a refreshing summer rain)
(My Love My Bride sings with a rich voice.)
Both of them are great.
(Everyone fell for the performance.)
I was astonished.
- They seem to be idol singers. - I don't know who to pick.
(This match is drawing in so much attention.)
(As the performance goes on,)
(they sing in harmony.)
(She gives a pure and clear voice without excessive technique.)
(My Love My Bride shows a powerful voice.)
(Bani Bani expresses the feeling through the song.)
(They pile up emotions with different voice tones.)
(Wow!)
(With their own ways of expression,)
(they give a new life to the song.)
(Who shall I vote for?)
(Their performance touched people with a perfect harmony.)
This match feels like the final round.
It was wonderful.
I think they are famous singers.
- One of them is a foreigner. - Is she?
- One on the left is a foreigner. - She sounds like a foreigner.
It's not easy. Who shall I vote for?
The second match of Round One is over.
Press one for Bani Bani,
press two for My Love My Bride.
The winner of this match will go against Street Musician.
Now, where do your hearts go?
All votes are in.
Please introduce yourselves to the audience.
Hello,
I'm a cute bunny girl,
Bani Bani.
You are so lovely.
It's Bani Bani with a cute outfit.
Now, My Love My Bride.
(She is shy.)
Hello,
I'm the romantic My Love My Bride.
She is a beautiful bride...
with a pure white outfit.
As I've heard, My Love My Bride...
has a soul of black music.
I felt that she expressed...
the soul of R&B in the performance.
(It was a powerful R&B performance.)
Her tone of voice sounded like that of Whitney Houston.
I clearly got that feeling.
(The late Whitney Houston, referred as the Pop Diva)
(It's an honour to be compared to the legendary diva.)
I feel she has sadness in her heart.
Her powerful voice seems to burst out from the sadness.
Bani Bani expresses the soul of white people.
I felt the white soul in her.
For example, it can be represented by...
Celine Dion, the well-known famous diva.
- Celine Dion? - Right.
(Celine Dion is 1 of 3 divas with Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey)
(Bani Bani's tone is similar to Celine Dion's warm voice.)
Their voice tones were clearly different.
According to what Jang Hyuk said,
it was a match between Celine Dion and Whitney Houston.
I can see that everyone was surprised with the performance.
The music experts are all confused.
- Right now? - The estimated vote is 48 to 51...
or 47 to 52.
- Very close. - That should be a close game.
I see it as a really close one.
(It's hard to predict who will win.)
(What will the destiny for the two rivals be?)
Well, you know I've been a panellist for this show...
for about a year now.
People who cover themselves like that...
are most likely...
- a big shot. - That's what you think.
Are you saying My Love My Bride is...
- a big shot? - Right.
Yes. There are several ways to tell.
We need to look at her neck...
to guess the age range.
Seeing that My Love My Bride covered herself completely,
it seems that although she is wearing a wedding dress,
it's probably not her first time to get married.
This is the point I want to make.
- It's just a personal opinion. - It's just my opinion.
It's another way of saying that you don't look that young.
- He meant to say she is not young. - That's all I'm saying.
- About Bani Bani, - Bani Bani.
some panellists said she could be a foreigner.
- One of them is a foreigner. - Is she?
One on the left is a foreigner.
- Bani Bani could be a foreigner? - When she sang,
she rolled her tongue quite a bit.
(She sounded like she could speak good English.)
So I thought Bani Bani...
has a thick tongue.
(Bani Bani has a thick tongue.)
I've heard people say short or long tongues,
- but never a thick tongue. - Of course.
She tries to roll her tongue, but she can't.
- Do you know what I mean? - Like gimbap becoming harder...
- to roll with too much rice? - Correct.
Since I'm not confident with my English,
I tried to imitate a native speaker.
- That's why. - That's what happened.
That's what caused a misunderstanding.
Since she was not confident with her English, she overdid it.
I will put that in mind.
Right after they finished their performance...
(Right after the performance ended)
One of our panellists stood up...
and opened his mouth in awe.
- It must be Young Seok. - Yes.
It must be him. It happens every week.
It was not just because there were two female singers.
It was because both of them...
showed extraordinary talents.
About Bani Bani,
her voice tone is...
just like well-tanned skin,
very smooth and pleasant to hear.
Her voice is naturally good.
- She has a very attractive voice. - I see.
About My Love My Bride,
she has such a powerful voice.
(Her voice bursts out like a storm.)
I think she expressed...
only about 60 percent of what she actually can.
Does it mean that she still has 40 percent that we haven't seen?
- She can have more than that. - I see.
Even when an army of million people comes to her,
someone will hear the voice of My Love My Bride.
(Her talent will shine anywhere.)
It's just a matter of taste.
- A matter of taste. - Right.
It's not the issue of who sings better here.
They are just different, like black or white.
This is what we've just heard from the experts.
Then, let's see their style...
- in dancing. - Dancing.
- I'm excited. - Let's see them dance to see...
whether they dance like black and white...
or something else comes out.
First, Bani Bani...
prepared a hopping bunny dance.
I think it will be very cute.
Here comes the bunny dance. Give her the music!
(She twists her body.)
- Yes. - Goodness.
That's very cute.
(Cute)
It's very refreshing.
(She shows a cheerleading move.)
What's that?
(Bani Bani shows cute moves.)
- My goodness. - Yes.
(Bani Bani shows a cute cheerleading move.)
She's cheerleading.
(Bani Bani sends a kiss.)
(All the male panellists have fallen for Bani Bani.)
(While every attention is on Bani Bani,)
(My Love My Bride gets anxious.)
(She feels like she's the only one left in the world.)
(With just one bunny dance,)
(many people turned into fanatics.)
(Will My Love My Bride break down here?)
- I want to say this. - She is really cute.
- She sure can turn her arms around. - Her arms?
- She can join a cheerleading team. - Yes. That was amazing.
How can she turn her arms like that?
Gu Ra is astonished by your move.
My Love My Bride is standing in the back.
You don't have to be stunned.
Although Bani Bani's dance was good, you show them what you're good at.
(What kind of dance will My Love My Bride show?)
(Whispering)
Okay. I got it.
Her dance is called...
the dance of desire.
The dance of desire.
- That tells her age. - Right.
I think she just came up with it.
No, it's not.
She says that she'll just go with the music.
I'm not sure about the "desire" part,
but she'll begin with the dance of desire.
Play the music, please.
It's a dance of a bride who can't make up her mind.
She wants to get married,
but she is not completely sure.
Goodness.
She can't make up her mind.
(Picking up her dress)
She can't make up her mind.
Here comes her desire.
It's her desire.
She wants to get away.
(My Love My Bride goes wild.)
(Surprised)
I'm against this marriage.
I want to run away.
(She transforms from a shy bride in white dress...)
(to Madonna, the legendary sexy icon.)
I want to run away.
I can't be modest any more.
(Shaking)
Thank you, we will stop here.
(Bravo!)
- Did you see that? - I think she's more like an idol.
I agree.
(Go, My Love My Bride!)
(Touched)
What would've happened if we didn't ask you to dance?
- So full of desire. - Not her first marriage, I'd say.
(It's not her first time.)
- Not her first marriage. - This music came out...
in early 2000s.
Britney Spears sang this song.
When shows like "Meant to Be" and "Cabin Meeting" came out.
The song by Britney Spears.
A bit old.
(It was the main song which many famous celebrities...)
(danced to back in the days.)
I guess her year of birth to be 1981 or 1982.
- 1981 or 1982. - Is it the year of her birth?
- Yes. - Does her dance tell her age?
It ranges from 1980 to 1982.
- It ranges from 1980 to 1982. - Yes.
Also, although she is clad in such a feminine dress,
I saw her tanned arms when she was dancing.
- Did you? - Yes.
She is either very sexy.
She must be an idol.
- I think Bani Bani is... - Bani Bani!
also an idol.
Her performance was so well prepared.
I think both of them are idols.
Are they both idols?
I think Bani Bani is...
an idol who's currently performing.
And My Love My Bride could be an idol of the first generation.
- I think she's an idol. - The first generation.
Or the second generation.
Which one is it? The first or second?
(First generation include "FIN.K.L", "S.E.S" and "Baby V.O.X".)
(Second has "Girls' Generation", "KARA" and "Wonder Girls".)
- I'll go for the second generation. - The second generation.
But as you might have noticed,
My Love My Bride seems shy but changes as soon as she starts.
I think she knows that she's a senior,
and that she has to beat her.
- She is coy, - She beats her junior.
but there's definitely something in her.
If we flip over that skirt,
- there might be a dragon in there. - Really?
I felt something.
- I feel something strong in her. - Something strong.
She's holding back a lot.
Okay. Bani Bani, could you show us something?
Bani Bani is a bit intimidated...
by My Love My Bride's dance.
So she's saying that she wants to...
imitate voices.
First, it's Min Kyung Hoon from Buzz.
(Is she really going to mimic a male singer's low voice?)
Can you do that? Okay.
It's Min Kyung Hoon from Buzz.
Don't make me cry
(Shaking)
(My gosh.)
That's hilarious.
Min Kyung Hoon is coming out...
as she swings her arms in the air.
There's whole lot more.
Can you mimic animals?
Animals, imitate an animal.
She will imitate a crazy grasshopper.
Please show us a crazy grasshopper.
(Hopping)
(Chuckling)
- Look at the motion of her arm. - She's so cute.
(They'd love her no matter what.)
This isn't easy.
They are so determined to win.
We'd know singers with such speciality and...
such singing skills.
- We might know them. - Variety shows would've used them.
Okay.
No, you can't.
Is she going to show us something more?
- Yes. - Please don't.
- Let's stop here. - You've shown too much.
Don't. No more.
It's been quite a while...
since we had someone so eager to show more...
- voluntarily. - Show us in Round Two.
Is she going to show more?
Please stop. What's wrong with you?
She said to me just now...
that she'll give you some hints.
(Would you like some hints?)
It's better to have them guess.
She may have stopped performing for a long time.
She can't believe people still don't know who she is.
The result is hard to predict.
These two terrific singers...
showed an unbelievable performance.
Between these two attractive female singers,
who is the winner that touched your souls?
Let's find out the result.
(The result is revealed now.)
Who's the winner?
(She has a soulful voice of a jazz singer.)
(My Love My Bride is equipped with incredible voice.)
(Her clear voice resembles that of Celine Dion.)
(Bani Bani has a lovely voice.)
Who is the winner...
who will make it to Round Two?
The winner is...
Who is it?
I don't have a clue.
(This is an incredibly nervous moment.)
Is it the girl or the bride?
(Is it cute Bani Bani or charismatic My Love My Bride?)
Who'll be the winner?
Will it be Bani Bani,
or My Love My Bride?
Between Bani Bani and My Love My Bride, the winner is...
(The winner is My Love My Bride.)
My Love My Bride won.
(My Love My Bride proceeds to Round Two.)
It's My Love My Bride.
(Goodness gracious.)
But I feel sorry.
Wow, look at that.
(What is the margin?)
The margin was narrow.
It was 57 to 42.
My Love My Bride won.
Please return to your waiting room and prepare for Round Two.
Please give her a big hand.
(Bani Bani's identity will be revealed shortly.)
(My Love My Bride became coy again.)
This stage makes me so nervous.
(She shows an energetic ceremony.)
Thank you.
Bye.
You were so charming and you sang so well.
Many people loved you.
I feel sorry for Bani Bani.
The margin was only 15 votes.
Who is she?
I'm so curious.
Let's find out her identity...
as she sings a solo.
Give her a round of applause.
Her tongue must be thick.
- She is similar to Celine Dion. - Celine Dion?
I think she's an idol.
- An idol. - Yes, an idol.
She's an idol who's currently performing.
("Atlantis Princess" by BoA)
(She's good.)
(She's got a pretty voice.)
(Two thumbs up!)
(Her voice is as clean as a blue lagoon.)
(It's a song of innocence sung with a girl's heart.)
(Gosh.)
(Who's she?)
(It's a beautiful dream of a childhood...)
(that I forgot along the way.)
Now, Rabbit Girl Bani Bani,
please take off your mask...
and reveal your identity.
(My gosh!)
- She is... - Why? Who's she?
- Who is she? - She is...
She is...
- Hello, I'm Yoon Bo Mi of Apink. - Yoon Bo Mi of Apink.
(Wow!)
(She's from Apink!)
(This is a jackpot.)
(He's trembling in astonishment.)
(This is unbelievable.)
This is incredible.
(She's amazing.)
(She could sing this well.)
(I love you!)
(Bo Mi's pure charm has been hidden all this time.)
(The studio is infected with the virus of happiness.)
(Her cute gesture grabs attention.)
(This is fun!)
(Bo Mi showed her innocent charm through her performance.)
Thank you.
That was amazing.
She is so pretty.
(The compliment is endless.)
I was so surprised.
Bani Bani was Yoon Bo Mi of Apink.
She is a talented singer.
Please say hello to the viewers.
Okay. Hello, I am Bo Mi of Apink.
(She debuted in 2011 with "I Don't Know".)
(She is the main dancer and the sub vocalist of Apink.)
(Apink's songs include "No No No", "Mr. Chu", "Hush" and "My My".)
(She showed her charms on variety shows as well.)
Let's go.
(She was a female recruit in "Real Men 2".)
(She is a hot celebrity with various charms.)
You are the best.
You are the third member of Apink to visit the show...
- after Eun Ji and Nam Joo. - That's right.
I didn't know all members could sing so well.
I didn't know she was so talented.
As you know, each panellist has a role to fulfil.
We will replace Mir and Sandeul next week.
(We will replace Mir and Sandeul.)
They should have guessed her identity.
- They didn't fulfil their roles. - No.
It's nice.
(They only enjoyed the performance.)
You should have known.
Why didn't you know?
(Happy brothers)
Work harder or you will be scolded.
(It's thanks to them Bo Mi's identity remained hidden.)
Young Seok, what do you think of Bo Mi's voice?
To be honest,
("To be honest?")
Bo Mi's voice is...
the type of voice...
(Bo Mi's voice is the type of voice...)
- men love. - Why did you add "To be honest"?
During the performance,
- I looked around. - Okay.
Everyone was really into the performance.
(Everyone enjoyed Bo Mi's performance.)
I knew I had to remain calm for some semblance of order.
I witnessed how everyone became absorbed in the song.
(He failed to remain calm.)
I will remember her name.
- You are her fan now. - Thank you.
Since she has shown her funny side in many variety shows,
people know her as the funny member of Apink.
Is it true that such bias hurt your feelings?
Since I act funny in many variety shows,
fans just laugh even when I show them...
my serious side.
- They don't take you seriously. - They laugh no matter what I do.
I visited King of Mask Singer to sing earnestly...
on the stage.
All right. As you have seen,
you drove the audience wild. They became absorbed in your charms.
Please send a video message to the members of Apink.
Cho Rong, Eun Ji, Na Eun, Nam Joo and Ha Young!
Members of Apink, I did it!
Give her a round of applause.
(I did it.)
Shedding her image as the funny member of Apink,
Bo Mi showed her talent as a singer in her meaningful performances.
Give her a round of applause.
- Thank you for your hard work. - Thank you.
(We look forward to your future musical endeavours.)
I am so proud of myself. I did it.
Let's go!
(Embarrassed)
I thought I would be...
so nervous...
that my hands would shake like this.
I thought I wouldn't be able to look the audience in the eye.
However, I found myself enjoying the performance.
I am now confident that I can sing by myself.
My Love My Bride beat Yoon Bo Mi...
and moved on to Round Two.
After the show, an online mobile survey will be conducted...
on netizens' expectation for this week's King of Mask Singer.
We ask for your participation.
I now give you the third pair...
of Round One.
This is the third match of Round One.
Like a knife, her voice will make listener's hearts bleed.
Masked Assassin!
(Masked Assassin)
You will become my prisoner once you hear my voice.
(Masked Assassin is quite small.)
She is an assassin.
She is quite small.
Opposing her...
is a man who will play until he is smiling from ear to ear.
King's Tightrope Walker!
Tightrope walk towards me.
(Opening)
He seems like a comedian.
He still could be a very talented singer.
Music Commander was like that.
(Here comes Masked Assassin.)
He doesn't look like a very successful assassin.
He might be a child actor.
(The assassin and the tightrope walker meet.)
Are we in Joseon Dynasty?
(Two people from Joseon Dynasty will show the match of the century.)
(What kind of performance will they give?)
("You and I, Fluttering" by Acoustic Collabo Feat. Soulman)
(He has a beautiful voice that heightens the listeners' mood.)
He has a charming voice.
(She has a young voice with innocent charms.)
(A young voice and a sweet voice meet.)
(Their performance feels like a whisper of first love.)
(House band)
They are both teenagers.
(Good job.)
Maybe he is a member of 10cm.
I had the same thought. He could be a member of 10cm.
(Like she is about to confess her love,)
(her voice quivers.)
(Who is she?)
(With his melodious voice,)
(Tightrope Walker confesses his love happily and shyly.)
(A shy girl)
(She is cute.)
(A shy boy)
(He is cute.)
(They create a harmony like rose-tinted romance.)
(Their performance gives freshness and thrill of first love.)
(Their sweet voices improve the listener's mood.)
(Their performance was as sweet as cotton candy.)
(Wow.)
How cute!
They are cute like green sprouts.
Their performance improved my mood.
They are so cute.
The third match of Round One came to an end.
Since Young Seok has the heart of a young girl,
he must have liked this performance.
During the whole time they were singing,
- I couldn't stop smiling. - I see.
Like the sunshine of May,
their performance was sweet and refreshing.
- I felt like going on a picnic. - You wanted to go on a picnic.
Yes. Their voices sound...
healthy and kind.
I think Tightrope Walker hid his singing techniques...
- and skills while performing. - I see.
He didn't show off his skills,
but I could recognise his healthy and kind voice...
- from his singing. - Okay.
And I don't think...
Masked Assassin has a lot of stage experiences.
She looked very nervous.
She can't be an assassin when she gets so nervous.
(I can be an assassin.)
She is too nice and cute to be an assassin.
I think she showed people what everyday happiness is...
through her performance.
We have Hyun Chul here who is a singer-songwriter.
Masked Assassin was so nervous...
that she was like this on the stage.
(Gasping)
Did she do that?
She gasped for air...
before starting to sing.
(Breathing deeply)
Masked Assassin is very nervous right now.
I think she failed...
to show her real ability, because she was too nervous.
And Tightrope Walker...
used his breath to the full capacity to sing.
Let's say singing is half breathing and half sound.
He uses his breath more than his voice when he sings.
He is...
the best vocalist for this bossa nova music.
I think he is a singer who appeared...
- from an audition show. - I see.
Jang Hyuk, tell us more about their breath control.
To see you
She sang like this. Her breath sounds cute.
And she didn't know what to do with her left hand.
She kept swinging her left hand the whole time.
And when she started singing,
she held the stem of the microphone...
as she waited for her turn. So I don't think...
- she is a professional singer. - I see.
But when she sang,
I liked the way she used her breath,
which sounded sweet and warm.
It was more beautiful than anyone else's voice.
Once she takes off her mask,
we will get to see her bright and pure smile...
on her beautiful face. I look forward to seeing it.
And I saw Tightrope Walker...
putting his right hand on his stomach...
while holding the microphone with his left hand.
Singers who were famous...
in late 1990s and early 2000s...
used to put a hand on their stomach...
as they didn't know what to do with it.
They didn't know what to do with their left hand.
So my guess is that Tightrope Walker is...
a singer who is relatively old.
Masked Assassin is a little bit short.
"Who is short and good at singing?" I kept thinking about it.
There are Ben and Yoon Bock Hee.
But as I heard her voice,
and I'm sure many people would share my view,
I thought she is not a singer. Then who could she be?
I think...
(I think...)
I think she is a child.
(I think she is a child.)
- A child? - Yes.
- A child? - I think she is a child.
Then why is a child here to sing a song?
She's dressed like in a historical drama.
So I guess she is Jung Da Bin...
from the drama, "The Flower in Prison".
- Jung Da Bin? - Yes.
(It is a new drama of the master drama director, Lee Byung Hoon...)
(who directed "Heo Jun", "Sangdo" and "Jewel in the Palace".)
I'm not here to hear your jokes.
(Da Bin played the young Ok Nyeo in the drama.)
She appeared in the drama as a child.
And I think Masked Assassin is very innocent.
When she finished singing, she looked very excited...
that everything was over and she did a good job.
I'm sure she is a child.
- I see. - I'm telling you.
- And Tightrope Walker is... - Yes.
a person who is considerate of the child.
- And he is a middle-aged man. - A middle-aged man.
- An uncle.
It was a duet of a child and a middle-aged man.
- What do you think, Yoon Seok? - My opinion is...
- almost the same as Gu Ra's. - Is it the same?
I think she is a child actress from the drama,
"Jang Bo-ri is Here".
- "Jang Bo-ri is Here"? - She is Kim Ji Young.
(She played the leading role in the popular drama "Jang Bo-ri is Here".)
I don't want to talk to you.
(She gave as good as she got even to Yeon Min Jung.)
She said she loved me the most in the world.
(Kim Ji Young is an acting prodigy.)
I think she practised singing to join this programme.
And about Tightrope Walker,
I know this may sound crazy. But some singers chose...
their nickname and mask that's related to their identities.
- Like Kim Min Seok. - He's right.
- The same thing can happen again. - Is he Lee Joon Gi?
Yes. He could be Lee Joon Gi.
- Okay. - You don't know it. It can happen.
That was a minority opinion.
All of you are saying that Masked Assassin is too cute...
and good to be an assassin.
But her specialty is a little scary.
She is good at shadowboxing, she says.
Is she preparing for "Junior Sports Festival"?
Please don't say that.
- I see. - She is good at shadowboxing.
Can you show it to us?
(She starts warming up.)
She is warming up.
Look at her light steps. Now she throws a punch.
Jab! Jab! Counting 1, 2.
(She is good.)
Counting 1 and 2. That was nice. She's good.
What was that?
(Kicking)
(Her kicks would knock down anyone.)
Hang on. What was that?
That's it.
(It was a cute shadowboxing act.)
She showed shadowboxing and kicks in Street Fighter.
(What is he doing?)
- Why did you put on the sunglasses? - Because I'm dazzled.
(Because I'm dazzled.)
I thought you were Zhu Bajie.
I'm dazzled.
I almost sang the theme song of the animation.
- I think she is Kim Hee Jung... - Okay.
who used to be a child actress.
(She made her debut as an actress in "Tough Guy's love" in 2000.)
(Kim Hee Jung is a character actress who was a child actress.)
- You mean Kkokji, Kim Hee Jung! - Kim Hee Jung.
- But Hee Jung is... - Yes?
better than her at singing.
- She is better than this child. - Yes.
And Tightrope Walker has a specialty as well.
It is nunchaku, he says.
Are you ready?
(Swinging)
(Laughing)
(He shows off his flashy nunchaku skills.)
(He looks like Bruce Lee.)
Nice!
He is good at this.
(He finishes his performance by putting nunchakus under his arms.)
Wow, he is good at it.
(It hurts.)
Okay.
(He got hurt in showing off his nunchaku skills.)
Masked Assassin has a lot of things to show you.
I think she prepared a lot for this show with her mother.
She will sing pansori.
She is good at it.
Ari arirang Suri surirang
Here comes Arari
Arirang
Here comes Arari
Excellent!
(Masked Assassin sang in a beautiful voice.)
I'm sure she is a child.
- Okay. - She is a child.
- Is she a child? - She is a child from Jindo.
- Jindo? - Yes.
- Her voice sounds young. - I'm sure she is a child.
Jang Hyuk, do you agree with him?
- Her voice sounds young. - I'm telling you.
- Her voice is young? - Yes.
I see. Tightrope Walker has something to show you.
He can mimic...
- Choi Min Sik's voice. - Yes.
- Can you do that? - Yes.
"Does your boss live in Namcheon-dong?"
"Last night, I had dinner and went to sauna with him."
Wow. You know the scene.
- He's got the accent. - He is good at this.
And he can mimic Na Moon Hee's voice from Unstoppable High Kick.
- Sweet potato? - He will say sweet potato.
"Yes, it is a sweet potato. A sweet potato!"
- Good! - A sweet potato it is.
He is good at this.
I'm not sure if he is a singer or an actor.
But I'm sure he is young,
handsome and popular.
People usually don't like it when someone mimics like that.
But he decided to do it because many people liked his specialty.
No matter how pathetic it may be,
people would love it. They'd even say he was funny.
It means he is handsome and popular.
I recognised his voice and I think I know who he is.
- Do you know who he is? - Tell me the initials.
- Initials? - N. L.
- N. L? - Yes.
- It's Niel. - Niel?
He was here before.
- Niel was in our programme before. - But he can come here again.
Niel's initials should be N. E.
I see. I was just confused a little bit.
- I was confused with L. - You don't have to say that.
How did you know I was talking about Niel then?
You got me anyway.
People knew I was talking about Niel with N. L.
- Bong Sun got it immediately. - I did.
(Yes, I got it!)
We have various opinions here.
Now it is time to announce...
the result of the third match of Round One.
Who is the winner of this match?
Please show us the result.
(Tightrope Walker captivated women's hearts with his sweet voice.)
(Masked Assassin made people happy with her pure voice.)
(They made a pure harmony like a first love.)
Who is the winner of this match?
The winner is...
- The winner is... - The winner is...
The winner is...
(The two masked singers sang with their pure voices.)
(Who did the audience choose?)
The winner of this match...
is...
(King's Tightrope Walker wins.)
Tightrope Walker wins.
(Tightrope Walker is the winner.)
- Wow. - Yes.
It was a tough match.
(Too bad for Masked Assassin. She did well.)
Tightrope Walker beats Masked Assassin...
with a final score of 83 to 16...
and becomes the winner.
He scored a big win.
It was 83 to 16.
Congratulations, Tightrope Walker. Please return to your waiting room.
Give him a round of applause.
(The surprising identity of Masked Assassin will be revealed soon.)
Tightrope Walker is skipping with excitement.
Oh, my gosh.
I can't believe what just happened.
Your mother might be crying somewhere.
Who could Masked Assassin be?
We will now listen to...
her solo performance she prepared.
(Her solo performance will be the last hint.)
I think she is a child.
I think she is a child actress from the drama, "Jang Bo-ri is here".
- The one from "Tough Guy's Love". - You mean Kim Hee Jung.
(She sang great pansori.)
I think she's a child from Jindo.
- Jindo. - Yes.
(Could Masked Assassin really be a child?)
("As You Live" by Cha Ji Yeon)
(She chose a song which is quite traditional.)
Maybe she is really a child who practises gukak.
(Her voice sounds more mature.)
She sounds like an adult.
(Who could it be?)
She must be an actress.
(The more we hear her sing,)
(the happier her voice makes us.)
(She gently sings in a low-pitched tone.)
(Then she sings high-pitched notes in a clear voice.)
(She sounds as pure as a child who misses her mother.)
(She also sounds as mature as an adult.)
(Who are you?)
(I've no idea who she is.)
This is confusing.
Now,
Masked Assassin, please take off your mask...
and reveal your face.
(Surprised)
(My goodness!)
I hope I was right.
- What is it? - Why?
- They're shocked. - What is it?
- She is... - What's happening?
Who is it?
(Surprised)
She is...
(Masked Assassin is...)
She is...
Seo Shin Ae, the actress with 13 years of experience.
(It was Seo Shin Ae!)
That's right.
Gosh, that's right!
(It's nice to see you, Shin Ae.)
I told you she was a child.
She's such a great singer.
(She used to be a little child, but she has grown up so much.)
(She's pretty.)
(Watching her sings so well...)
(makes you smile.)
(You can sense her long acting experience...)
(from her ability to express emotions.)
(She even knows how to sing gukak music.)
(She's so pretty.)
(She still has her cute face.)
(It's unbelievable that Masked Assassin was Seo Shin Ae.)
(Hello, I'm Shin Ae.)
(It's good to see you.)
(Sighing)
(She has shown us her another charming point.)
(Her familiar face makes everyone happy.)
Masked Assassin's identity has been revealed.
She is the actress Seo Shin Ae.
(She starred in the popular TV show. "High Kick 2"...)
(and became popular.)
Aren't you going to blow out the candle? Hurry up and blow.
Okay.
(Her performance was...)
(too impressive to believe she was just 12 years old.)
I can manage with only one plate.
(Shin Ae's 12-story tower of food)
(After "High Kick 2",)
(she starred in "Queen's Classroom" and "Incarnation of Money".)
The reality is not a fairy tale.
(She became a university student this year.)
Hello. I'm Seo Shin Ae. I became a freshman at a university this year.
- Nice to meet you. - All right.
- It's Shin Ae. - That's right.
I feel like I should call her Ms Seo Shin Ae.
She's a university student now.
- She should be in a high school, - I see.
but she entered school a year early.
- That's right. - She and my son are the same age.
- You know much about her. - She's his friend.
- I see. - That's right.
- She's my son's friend. - Yes.
Please teach him how to...
get accepted into a good university.
(Please teach him how to get accepted into a good university.)
- He's not studying at all. - I see.
Please help your friend out.
Right. I heard she is an excellent student.
In "Unstoppable High Kick",
- It's "High Kick 2". - Pardon?
- It's "High Kick 2". - Oh, it's "High Kick 2".
I'm sorry.
"Sweet potato!"
All right.
In "High Kick 2", Jin Ji Hee...
called you Punk Tank, right?
- That's right. - I see.
(I am the Punk Tank.)
What was your purpose of coming to our show?
I'd like everyone to stop seeing me as a child.
- Okay. - I can act different roles.
- Also, I'm interested in music. - Yes.
I wanted to show you the different tones I can sing in.
But I was really agitated since it was my first stage.
I made many mistakes because I was nervous.
I see. It says here that...
you took interest in music because of a TV series.
- In "High Kick 2", there was... - Go on.
a scene where I sang a song in the supermarket.
(Why does Hae Ri get all the delicious food?)
(Shin Ae sang a song in the "High Kick 2".)
(But it's different here in the supermarket.)
(I'm the owner here in the supermarket.)
(This is how she first took an interest in music.)
When I recorded the song, Kim Jo Han, the singer,
complimented on my singing.
He recommended me to learn singing further. That's how it started.
Kim Jo Han complimented on your singing.
What did you think about her performance?
She was just nervous. This doesn't mean she is a bad singer.
Also, her voice and voice volume are fantastic.
- I see. - I hope she continues studying...
music. I believe she is good enough to release her solo album...
someday in the future.
- I'm flattered. - Thank you for a great stage.
- Thank you. - All right.
Your mother would be pleased to see you here on the stage, right?
My mother expected me to move on to Round Two.
- I see. - I said, "Don't get your hopes up."
- But she said, "You can do it." - "You can do it."
You did great.
It was Seo Shin Ae, who is now a university student.
Please give her a big round of applause.
(Thank you for growing up to a wonderful person.)
Great work.
(Stumbling)
(She seems to be having mixed feelings.)
(Laughing)
It was fun.
I thought I could do a good job.
I went up to the stage thinking that I will do my best.
But I suddenly got really nervous.
I didn't know what to do. My heart was pounding really hard.
But I realised that this is how it feels to sing on stage.
It was a great experience.
I was able to show people a new side of me.
It's been a really great experience.
King's Tightrope Walker wins against Shin Ae...
and moves on to Round Two.
The fourth match of Round One.
He'll cast a singing spell that will conjure up a storm.
It's Singing Fairy in the Wind!
(Singing Fairy in the Wind)
(Capi Capi Loom Loom!)
May your wish come true!
(May your wish come true!)
(I'll make your ears happy.)
(That'll be nice.)
Before, we had Genie in the Lamp. Now, we have Singing Fairy.
- I think he'll sing well. - Originally, it's "Sand Fairy".
Yes, the original is "Sand Fairy".
Against Singing Fairy...
is the one with a voice that will help you pass job interviews.
It's Job Seeker's Dream Come True.
(Job Seeker's Dream Come True)
(You can do it!)
(You can get a job!)
Let's go! You can do it!
Job Seeker, let's be King of Mask Singer.
(Hopes for the jobless)
(Good luck!)
I think the name "Job Seeker" has a significance.
- I think he's a dark horse. - Yes, I think so.
(They walk toward the centre.)
(No!)
(His slipper came off.)
(The dark horse looks careless.)
He's a little suspicious.
(There's something about them.)
(Will the nervous panellists' intuition...)
(be right?)
("If You Come Into My Heart" by Cho Deok Bae)
This is a difficult song.
That's an unexpected choice of song.
(How will they sing this classic song from the 80's?)
(He has a soft and sweet voice.)
(He's a singer.)
(He has a low and husky voice.)
(His voice shows...)
(maturity and years of experience.)
(The way he sings...)
(seems very composed.)
(These two singers seem very relaxed.)
(Dance time)
(Dancing like a middle-aged man.)
I think Fairy seems a bit old.
Look at the way he dances.
(Fluttering)
(The mood is getting heightened.)
(They sing back and forth.)
(They enjoy singing instead of competing.)
(They are having fun on stage.)
(He is able to control his voice any way he wants.)
(The hearts of the panellists are penetrated by...)
(an amazing performance by Singing Fairy and Job Seeker.)
(Nice!)
That was a great harmony.
(They really are something.)
They're good.
They both sing really well.
It's a tough choice.
(What is this strange feeling?)
That was the last match of Round One.
It was a battle between two men...
with amazing voices.
Who will be the lucky winner that will move on to Round Two?
All votes are in.
Please say hello to the viewers. You go first, Singing Fairy.
Hello! I'm Singing Fairy in the Wind!
Singing Fairy is very energetic.
Hello! You can do it! You can do it!
(You can do it!)
Job Seeker's Dream Come True!
(All the jobless people, let's get a job!)
He's jobless,
so he is wearing a training suit.
These two have amazing voices.
Hyun Chul, please tell us what you thought, first.
I think they are...
both a bit old.
- Singing Fairy was dancing. - Yes.
That dance wasn't popular even in my time.
- That's a very old dance move. - Yes, very old.
So I think he's quite old.
Even if the programme staff wanted him to...
- wear that outfit, - Go on.
I think Job Seeker should've refused.
Does it look bad on him?
He could be the next King of Mask Singer.
You mean the clothes don't suit the King of Mask Singer.
- The clothes are too shabby. - Too scruffy.
Young Seok, do you feel the same?
Singing Fairy sang like... You know the saying,
"If you practise 10,000 hours, you achieve mastery in a field."
Yes, that's the 10,000-hour rule.
He sang this song like a person...
who practised singing for 10,000 hours.
I'd run to you
I'd fly
Right here.
He used vibrato when he sang this part.
(I'd fly to you.)
(I'd fly to you)
(It sounds the same.)
(He really is a master.)
Job Seeker, on the other hand,
sang this song like it wasn't his song.
But I was surprised by his true voice...
that came out once in a while.
He can't be making that voice.
That mid-to-high range voice can only be made by a master.
He looked like he was singing half-heartedly.
But he played with his vocal cords, he played with the tone...
and he made nasal tone.
He pressed, crumpled, grasped and let go of his voice.
What is he trying to hide?
I'm really curious who is behind that mask.
Who is it and why is he singing so half-heartedly?
- He's a master. - I know this for sure though.
He has a huge head.
(He has a huge head.)
- He has a big head. - It's as big as Cho Hyoung Ki's.
His head is as big as Cho Hyoung Ki's.
- You're saying he has a big head. - I have a big head.
People like Cho Hyoung Ki, Jung Chan Woo and Kim Tae Gyun.
- Okay. - His head is as big as theirs.
- He has a huge head. - That's why...
- he had great head voice. - His head is huge.
How old do you think these two are?
They are both old.
(They are both old.)
That's the right answer.
That's the correct answer.
You think they are both old.
There's no point in pretending to be young.
- They're similar in age. - You're saying...
they're pretty much the same age.
When he lowered his head before,
- I noticed that his hair was dyed. - He dyed his hair.
(If he dyed his hair light brown...)
I don't think he's as old as we think.
- That's what I think. - You two have different ideas.
- This person is very lucky. - You mean Job Seeker?
He has a full head of hair.
(He has a full head of hair.)
- Considering his age... - It's like a wig.
(Luxurious hair)
I don't think he dyed his hair. I think it's his own hair.
Looks like he eats a lot of black beans.
- He takes good care of himself. - Yes.
I think he does some work...
other than singing on stage.
I don't think he's jobless.
- I think he has two jobs. - He has two jobs, but he came...
- here looking like a jobless man. - That's right.
He has two jobs, the way he's built...
and his gestures suggest that he's Bae Ki Sung,
and it's his second appearance on the show.
Bae Ki Sung?
(Both the body figure and the size of the head are similar.)
(Did he return to challenge the king again?)
(At that moment)
(Whispering)
Okay. Job Seeker is saying...
that although his head is big, he's really handsome.
That's what Bae Ki Sung would say.
(He's so suspicious.)
Sandeul and Mir, what do you think?
Could any one of the two be an idol?
The voices they have...
are way too matured.
They seem to be too experienced...
to be of our age.
They seem to have suffered many hardships.
How old should a person be to have suffered this much?
- Born before 1973. - That means...
- they are 43 to 44 years old. - Yes.
Singing Fairy had an old-fashioned singing style.
Ha! I'd run to you
- Ha! I'd run to you - That's right.
If you come, yeah
Such as things like this.
- He has a singing style of 1990s, - It's old-school.
but he's been singing for a long time.
He's a true expert.
- I think he's Hong Seo Beom. - Hong Seo Beom.
(He's a recognised pop musician...)
(who was very famous in 1980s to 1990s.)
- Hong Seo Beom. - Yes.
He was born in 1958.
He is thought to be as old as him.
- Ha! I'd run - At least some people think so.
I don't think he's that old.
- I think he's in mid-30s. - Mid-30s.
I thought he's Jung Yup of Brown Eyed Soul.
(He's known for his mellow voice and unique singing style.)
(The way he sings is unique, too.)
- Jung Yup? - Yes.
- I got a strong impression. - Yes.
- Right? - You're right!
- It's a bit too soulful... - That's Jung Yup's dance.
(Swaying)
(Does Jung Yup dance like this?)
Jung Yup appeared in my show "Radio Star" a while ago,
and he danced.
When he served in marine, he performed very often.
And he showed a dance move that he explained...
to be a dance for old ladies in the islands.
I thought the dance was familiar for some reason.
There's a dance called "Island dance".
- It goes like this. - That's right.
They like it when I dance like this.
(He's laughing his head off.)
(Is he dancing the "Island dance"?)
Do you like it, ladies?
(It's good to see Jung Yup here.)
Then, to assist your guessing,
we'll have Singing Fairy sing...
Always a good friend
MBC Munhwa Broadcasting
He'll sing this in JK Kim Dong Wook's voice.
Always a good friend
(Surprised)
(He's surprised.)
MBC Munhwa Broadcasting
Wow, gosh.
(He's good.)
Goodness. Yes.
You did so well.
Go Eun, can you think of anyone from your interviewees?
- Anyone from interviewees? - No one.
I've never been calmer...
with two male singers in front of me.
- I think this is my first time. - I see.
So I'm guessing they are both married.
You think they are both married.
But I have no idea who they are.
It was the final match of Round One.
I have the result in my hand,
and it must have been hard for you to decide on the winner.
The margin is...
only three votes.
(The margin is three votes.)
Who's the winner?
I'll reveal the last winner...
who will proceed to Round Two.
(The master who revived the original song completely.)
(The expert who played with sounds.)
(The two competitors of this big match were neck and neck.)
The winner of this match won by the margin of three votes.
The winner is...
- The winner is... - The winner is...
- It's Job Seeker. - I'm nervous.
Who will it be? Singing Fairy!
Who is it?
The winner is...
(The result depends on the last three voters.)
(Who would they have chosen?)
The winner wins with the margin of three votes.
He is...
(Job Seeker's Dream Come True wins.)
Job Seeker has wins.
(The contrast between happiness and grief seems even stronger.)
(Screaming)
Job Seeker beats Singing Fairy...
by three votes.
Job Seeker made a dramatic breakthrough.
Please give him a big hand.
(Singing Fairy's identity will be revealed shortly.)
Job Seeker narrowly manages...
to advance to the next round.
(Sighing)
This tension...
feels amazing. I'm so thrilled.
You were so close to winning. What a shame.
You've done a great job. It's okay.
You won their hearts. Good job.
It's okay. I'm sure everybody...
was absorbed in your charms. It happens.
It's okay. You were great.
Who could he be, the singer we won't meet in the next round?
Let's find out his identity...
as he sings a solo song. Please give him a big hand.
(His identity will be revealed in a solo stage.)
He was born before 1973.
- I think he's Hong Seo Beom. - Hong Seo Beom.
I think he's Jung Yup of Brown Eyed Soul.
(Coming soon)
I used to throw a ball at a speed of 160km per hour.
Fire in the hole!
(What fate would this hand grenade meet in the hand of a wrong master?)
(The trainees suffocate in the gas chamber.)
(Added to that, they lost the grip of a canister.)
(What would become of their fate?)
("Bong Suk E" by Rose Motel)
(One phrase is enough to astonish the panellists.)
(Wow!)
(It's so good.)
(He has an attractive low voice.)
- He has an outstanding voice. - It's so good.
You look amazed.
(His soulful voice percolates through everyone's heart.)
(He's totally awesome.)
(Who has such a charming voice?)
Now, Singing Fairy in the Wind,
please take off your mask and reveal your identity.
(Who is it?)
He is...
- What's wrong? - Why?
Who is he?
He is...
Yoon Hong Hyun of Big Brain,
a new R&B group.
(Is he a rookie?)
(No way.)
- He was an idol singer. - He was an idol.
- My gosh. - I thought he was a jazz singer.
All the members are really good singers.
(How can a 22-year-old have this much emotional depth?)
He's such an excellent singer.
(His irresistible voice captures the listeners.)
He's good.
(Strong vocal delivery that resonates in the heart...)
(makes it difficult to believe that he's a rookie.)
(He's good at controlling the tempo.)
(His delicate yet powerful voice...)
(fills our hearts.)
(How nice!)
(His voice can switch between mournful and heart-warming.)
(He showed his charms as a vocalist.)
(Yoon Hong Hyun of Big Brain gave a wonderful performance.)
(The audience gives him an endless applause.)
He is an amazing singer.
All right.
Singing Fairy in the Wind's identity has been revealed.
He is a member of a newly debuted group.
This is Yoon Hong Hyun of Big Brain.
Please say hello to the viewers.
Hello, I am Yoon Hong Hyun, a vocalist of Big Brain.
- It's nice to meet you. - All right.
The panellists speculated...
that you were born in the 60s or 70s.
One guess was Hong Seo Beom, a singer who was born in 1958.
For the record, Hong Hyun was born in 1995.
(Sandeul is three years older than him.)
- His singing style... - Yes?
isn't that of a man in his 20s.
It's unbelievable that a young man like him...
can incorporate jazz style to his singing.
Have you always liked jazz?
Yes, I have.
He wouldn't have been able to sing like that otherwise.
Doesn't his face look jazzy?
(Doesn't his face look jazzy?)
That's stereotyping.
Among the panellists, Go Eun said...
that he never made her heart flutter.
I apologise.
He hasn't even gotten through his first marriage.
His first marriage?
What are you talking about? He is still young.
I know. That's why I am sorry for saying what I said.
- You said he is probably married. - I apologise.
You said that he seems like a married man.
- My intuition was faulty. - I see.
His performances today...
made me want listen to Big Brain's songs...
when I get home.
I became a fan.
- Thank you. - All right.
(I became a fan.)
How was it to perform on King of Mask Singer?
My biggest wish was to let people find out about my group.
Since I am in a group, I don't get a long part.
I wanted to sing an entire song on TV because of that.
All right. The group has a bright future ahead of them.
This is Yoon Hong Hyun of Big Brain.
Please give him another round of applause.
- Thank you. - Good luck, Big Brain!
(We look forward to his future endeavours.)
(You are the best.)
- You are a talented singer. - Thank you.
You will be big like Adele.
You were amazing.
- What class are you? - Class of 2014.
- You are a class of 2014. - Yes.
- I am a class of 1991. - Nice meeting you.
We are alumni of Seoul Institute of the Arts.
You were amazing.
(Next week)
It's the second challenge to be the 31st King of Mask Singer.
(A shocking twist will be revealed.)
She manipulates the beats perfectly.
It was the most amazing performance.
We saw performances of genres we are not familiar with.
Do you think you will be able to win 10 consecutive times?
I will leave it to fate.
The winner is...
(Who will become the 31st King of Masker Singer?)
("Real Men 2" is up next.)
