Masked singers will fight against prejudices with their honest voices.
The mysterious music show, King of Mask Singer!
Last week,
he broke the record with seven consecutive wins.
He aims to rewrite the history with eight consecutive wins.
The 28th King of Mask Singer, Music Commander in My Town!
(Music Commander in My Town)
(Grant me the power of music.)
(I love him.)
(Jang Hye Jin)
May is the month of the family.
Through masked singers' voices everyone in the family can enjoy,
I will deliver happiness to the viewers' houses.
The mysterious music show, King of Mask Singer!
I am your unbiased show host, Kim Seong Ju.
(It's good to see you.)
Aside from the eight masked singers for today's competition,
an additional masked singer...
will join us as a panellist today.
(Where?)
Please take your seat.
- What? - Please take your seat.
- What is going on? - What is going on?
Who could it be?
Please take your seat.
(A masked panellist appears.)
Panellists always do exceptional jobs,
but I thought this panellist would be a good addition...
for today's competition.
(Like hyenas, the panellists surround the masked panellist.)
(Touching)
Don't touch him! It's rude to touch a stranger.
Wait a minute.
He is on the older side.
- He is on the older side. - Okay.
We would like to remove everything except for the mask.
(We would like to remove everything except for the mask.)
Don't stare at him.
Please go back to your seats. He isn't a monkey in the zoo.
I bet he didn't know how we would react.
- May I sit on your lap? - Oh, no.
(May I sit on your lap?)
Don't do that. For goodness' sake.
- It took effort to recruit him. - Who is he?
As a warm up,
let's guess the masked panellist's identity.
What brings you to King of Mask Singer?
Life.
I came here because I was bored.
You came here because you were bored.
When you watch King of Mask Singer at home,
what thoughts usually enter your mind?
I envy the masked singers for their singing skills.
There must have been many singers who could sing better than you.
What did you say?
You don't agree with my statement.
Wearing a mask gives one an illusion...
that everyone will recognise his or her voice.
I bet people wouldn't recognise him even without the mask.
(Crying)
I don't think he is someone famous.
- You don't think so? - No.
- He is deluding himself. - I see.
I wouldn't have invited an obscure celebrity as a panellist.
Think about it this way. A famous celebrity...
wouldn't do this.
- Is that what you think? - It's only logical.
- Your bias is showing. - Think about it.
An A-list celebrity...
wouldn't have stayed still...
when I sat on his lap. He must be someone who is struggling to get by.
You think he agreed to be here, because he is struggling.
- All right. - His outfit is shabby, too.
- You think his outfit is shabby. - That's what I think.
It's not a top celebrity's outfit.
(Dear Diary is attacked.)
The audience is curious about your identity.
Please give us a hint. You could reveal your real voice.
I write in the diary
(Who is he?)
No one can guess his identity.
People should be figuring out his identity by now.
Music Commander,
can you guess his identity?
No, I think...
(No, I think...)
I think he is someone who is struggling.
You think he is someone who is struggling financially.
To be honest, I don't understand...
why we are wasting time on him from the start.
- I see. - Right?
Until when do we need to talk about him?
Seriously. No one is interested in him.
- Is that so? - No one will guess his identity.
The masked singer who is sitting with the panellists,
Dear Diary's identity will be revealed now.
Dear Diary, take off your mask...
and reveal your identity.
- He is... - This is ridiculous.
(Who could Dear Diary be?)
(Curious)
(He is...)
(Wow!)
(Screaming)
(What does this cheer mean?)
(The mysterious Dear Diary is...)
He is the emperor of ballad, Lee Seung Chul.
(This is incredible.)
(He feels sorry.)
All right.
(What a great surprise!)
- Go ahead. - My life is hard these days.
- His life is worse off. - Like you said.
(He springs to his feet.)
I'm sincerely sorry.
(It's okay.)
- Please say hello to our viewers. - We didn't know you'd visit.
Hello, I'm Lee Seung Chul. It's nice to meet you.
(Welcome!)
Today, we have the king of ballad...
and Music Commander facing each other.
Another interesting point to note is...
that Music Commander has achieved seven consecutive wins...
and he is reigning supreme.
Music Commander has been reigning...
for over 14 weeks.
Please say hello to the viewers.
Hello, everyone.
I'm Music Commander in My Town!
(Enthralled)
Whenever Music Commander finished his stage,
I reviewed the viewers' comments on his performance.
"He digests all kinds of genre."
"He is the digestant of all genres."
That was what one comment said.
I'm aiming to win King of Mask Singer...
for the eighth time.
I was afraid that you would be tired of me.
I've been quite worried.
However,
since I heard someone called me "the digestant of all genres",
- I feel so glad and happy. - Go on.
Today, I'm also planning...
- to show you... - Go on.
- the best stage that I can give. - All right.
I'll do my best for all of you. Thank you.
All right. Music Commander is targeting...
at his eighth consecutive win.
I guess he should do his best.
Today, we have prepared special masks...
that children might like...
- to celebrate Children's Day. - I see.
I assure you.
If today's contenders aren't top-class, I'll resign.
I'm serious. You should prepare yourselves.
I'm telling you, the panellists.
Whoever you vote for,
you will regret your decision. The performances will be superb.
I ask you to listen to the voices...
extra carefully today.
Now, we will start with the duet matches.
I introduce you the first match of Round One.
(The first match of Round One)
(King of Mask Singer)
The first match of Round One.
She has fatal attraction and a voice of a queen.
Lady Without a Mirror.
(Lady Without a Mirror)
(Mask designed by Kam Seon Ju)
Mirror, mirror,
I'm the best singer in the world, aren't I?
(Yes, you are.)
Yes, I am.
(Let me look into a mirror for a while.)
- Wow. - She looks confident.
Her opponent...
has the sweetest voice ever.
Sweet Chocolate.
(Sweet Chocolate)
(Mask designed by Han Jeong Ah)
I will...
let you hear my sweet voice.
(Giggling)
How could she possibly sing in that costume?
It looks so hard to walk in it.
Her legs look familiar.
(An unusual combination of Mirror and Chocolate)
(The curiosity on them grows.)
(What performance will these two masked singers put on?)
("One's Way Back" by Park Sun Joo)
(What?)
(Attractive low notes coming from deep breathing)
(Sensuous and sexy breathing)
(Her husky tone reveals years of experience.)
(House band)
(Who are they?)
I have no clue at all.
(Who do you think they are?)
(I have no idea.)
(Who could these sentimental singers be?)
(This song makes me feel sad.)
(Two women of different charms...)
(sing a sorrowful song about love and parting.)
They are singing in good harmony.
(It was a sorrowful and beautiful stage by Mirror and Chocolate.)
- Gosh, what a performance it was. - My goodness.
Don't they sound experienced?
- They both sound like veterans. - Their voices are sexy.
The first match of Round One has finished.
Between these two masked singers,
you need to choose a winner.
Whose voice touched your heart?
Which one of them will be able to...
move on to Round Two?
All votes are in.
First, please say hello to the viewers.
Hello.
(Hello.)
I'm Lady Without a Mirror.
All right. In a pretty dress,
she looks beautiful.
(Microphone testing)
- Testing. Does my mike work okay? - Yes.
It works well.
Hello. I'm Sweet Chocolate.
All right. She's so cute.
Sweet Chocolate she is.
Gu Ra, what do you comment?
Actually, I encountered Lady Without a Mirror...
in the hallway a while ago.
- And I almost tripped over. - Really?
I was surprised at her,
because she was dragging her slippers...
- and making loud footsteps. - I see.
(Loud footsteps)
(Charismatic)
(The security guard is intimidated.)
She's been in the show business for more than 10 years.
Seasoned entertainers usually ask for slippers...
due to backache or something.
Young people usually walk lightly in their slippers.
- With light steps. - Exactly.
But she was walking heavily and loudly.
So I figured she's mature.
- She's in good shape for her age. - All right.
As for Chocolate, I paid close attention...
- to the position of her hands. - Her hands?
I saw her putting her hands on her belly...
- like this. - Go on.
So I think she has experience in giving birth to a baby.
- She went through pregnancy. - That's right.
If you have a big belly, women usually might not know...
where to put their hands.
But she was naturally holding her belly like this.
Chocolate, they guess you have an experience...
in childbirth.
Where should I put my hands then?
(Where should I put my hands then?)
I can't put them on my back.
I can't put them on my head, either. Where should I put them?
- Did she have childbirth? - Let me tell you something.
- Go ahead, Cao Lu. - I have another opinion.
- What's that? - She's wearing...
- sexy mesh stockings. - Yes, she is.
In my opinion,
- She's a sexy female artist. - She's a sexy female artist.
She wore such a fat costume for a reason.
I think she has a glamorous body.
Any other outfit would show her body.
She chose that costume intentionally to conceal her body contour.
So, her body is sexier than that of Lady Without a Mirror.
That's right. But as for Mirror,
even Gu Ra thinks she is attractive.
He almost tripped before.
I think she might be an actress born in 1980s.
She's an actress who was born in 1980s.
Gu Ra's ideal type is an actress born in 1980s.
Cut it out.
My son always rebukes me.
He says that I don't act like a grown up in shows.
I like actresses who were born between 1982 and 1985.
I'd like to go out with them.
That's disgusting.
He's being seriously displeasing.
(He's being seriously displeasing.)
The costume is really big.
Let's move on to Hyun Chul,
who is singer-songwriter.
As for their age,
I noticed their standing posture and way of speaking.
Considering everything, I think that Sweet Chocolate is older.
You mean Sweet Chocolate is older than Lady Without a Mirror.
Sweet Chocolate leans on her chin as she sings.
What do you mean by "lean on her chin"?
Lee Moon Sae often employs this singing style.
(This singing style makes the voice sound as if it is pulled backwards.)
(Sweet Chocolate's singing technique is similar.)
If she's a singer,
she might be specialised in trot music.
How could you figure out that much?
Everyone seems to be curious about their age and body contour.
We'll have some more clues to get our guesses right.
It's dance time.
We'll begin with Lady Without a Mirror.
Play the music, please.
(What?)
(My goodness!)
(She transforms.)
(Oh, my!)
(She knows how to have fun.)
(She utterly changes the vibe.)
(How do you like me?)
Her moves are fantastic.
(She has the stage at her will.)
(All male guests pay their full attention.)
(Is she an actress born in 1980s?)
(She attracted every man in the studio.)
(Kiss)
All right.
(The panellists are surprised to find her hidden charm.)
Lady Without a Mirror showed us sexy dance moves.
She deserves to drag her slippers, doesn't she?
Like this, right?
Sweet Chocolate will now have her dance time.
Could you show us your sweet body wave?
Okay, great.
Play the music, please.
(She shakes once,)
(and then takes a light swing.)
(She follows the rhythm smoothly.)
(She's good.)
She's good.
(She's like a dancing machine.)
(Her feet move swiftly.)
(Bravo!)
(She dominates the stage with her moves.)
Great!
You are the best.
(Wow!)
Look at Lady Without a Mirror!
(Everybody focuses on Lady Without a Mirror.)
She can't help getting groovy.
(My goodness!)
(What is she doing?)
Don't do that, please.
Don't do that.
(She pushes him to the edge of the stage.)
Stop it, please.
(I have to stop her.)
(I'll use all the force I have.)
We will stop here.
My goodness.
You are the best.
That was hilarious.
Too bad she's wearing a costume.
We could have seen the authentic wave dance.
- She's definitely not a singer. - Don't be mean.
Put a mike on Sweet Chocolate's mouth.
Isn't she panting?
- Isn't she panting heavily? - No, I'm not.
- She is perfectly stable. - Is she?
Her costume, however, seems to weigh her down.
She's trying to put up with it.
I think this kind of stage is new for Seung Chul.
I don't think...
they are professional singers.
None of them are professional singers.
This is not the way professional singers hold their mikes.
- They hold a mike like this. - With only one hand.
She tests the mike before she begins.
Professional singers don't usually do that.
They sing very well.
I guess they are amateurs who sing very well.
I don't think their occupation is singing.
So,
what?
But...
- She's one of us. - She seems to be a comedienne.
- She's definitely one of us. - Right.
- She is one of us. - I think she's a comedienne.
- She's one of us. - She is quite old.
- When I'm standing, - Yes?
they say that I'm a singer. But when I change my posture,
they say that a singer doesn't stand like that.
- She reveals her way of talking. - I think...
her name goes by KHS.
Who's that?
- KHS? - KHS?
Did you come up with initials already?
I reckon her to be Kim Hyun Sook.
(She made a debut as a comedienne and got famous as "Chulsandra".)
(Now she's building her career as an actress.)
- The way she talks is unmistakable. - I hear you.
- The way she speaks. - Right.
Even her costume looks like that of a pregnant woman.
- Yes. - Right.
- Oh, the Chulsandra. - KHS.
- I think he is right. - Chulsandra, right.
- He got it right. - Are you sure?
- Isn't she? - She doesn't have such legs.
I'm afraid we've digressed a little.
So this is a chance for us to hear their actual voice.
Lady Without a Mirror will mimic Park Ji Yoon's voice.
I mean Singer Park Ji Yoon.
Darling
(Darling)
(She falls down on the floor.)
(She is hilarious.)
- She missed a note. - Are you trying to be funny?
- What are you doing? - My goodness.
The voice bent a little in the end. Sorry, that happens.
People make mistakes when they mimic voices.
-I'm so embarrassed. - It's okay. You did a good job.
Now we'll hear Sweet Chocolate's actual voice.
To warm up,
she'll mimic a bullfrog's croak.
(Oh, my gosh.)
Do you have to do this? A bullfrog?
She'll mimic croak of a bullfrog.
A very unsatisfied bullfrog.
- A grumpy bullfrog. - A frog that has a lot to complain.
Let's hear her actual voice.
(Croak)
(Please, stop!)
(She continues.)
It's exactly like it.
(Please stop.)
I'm surprised.
- She's hilarious. - Yes.
Now, everything's clear.
- Is this a joke? - A very unhappy bullfrog.
Okay, then.
I'll announce the result of first match of Round One.
Between these two female singers,
who would be the winner of this duet match...
who captured your hearts?
I'll now announce the result!
(Who's the winner?)
It was a close run.
(Is the winner Lady Without a Mirror who delivers emotions...)
(with a crystal clear voice?)
(Or is it Sweet Chocolate with deep and strong voice...)
(whose soulful voice touches people's hearts?)
Who's the first mask singer...
who will move on to Round Two?
The winner is...
Who is it?
I have no clue.
(Everyone is eager to see the result,)
(because it was harder than usual to decide the winner.)
Who would the winner be?
It was Sweet Chocolate versus Lady Without a Mirror.
And it was neck to neck.
The winner is...
(Sweet Chocolate wins.)
Sweet Chocolate wins.
(Wow, Sweet Chocolate!)
(Yes, it has to be Sweet Chocolate!)
- Oh, my gosh. - What?
(The result is more surprising since it was unforeseeable.)
- What? - Sweet Chocolate won the match.
It was 53 to 46.
- What's going on? - Sweet Chocolate defeated...
- Lady Without a Mirror. - The bullfrog.
All right.
She's not supposed to win.
- She got more votes. - What happened?
She will move on to Round Two.
Please return to your waiting room and prepare for Round Two.
Please give her a big hand.
(See you in Round Two.)
(Her shaky legs tell her level of tension.)
I was so nervous.
I didn't expect to win.
Still, it feels good to win.
She has such a beautiful voice.
But sadly, we won't hear her voice in the next round.
Are you disappointed?
Not at all.
I'm grateful to be here with all of you.
- Oh, are you? - Yes.
Okay, then. She will reveal her identity...
while singing a solo.
Give her a round of applause.
(Lady Without a Mirror will deliver the last hint.)
She's been in the show business for more than 10 years.
She's Gu Ra's ideal type, who is an actress born in the 1980s.
Cut it out.
("Betrayal of the Rose" by Uhm Jung Hwa)
(Her voice is so clear and beautiful.)
(Everyone is absorbed in her song.)
(Lady Without a Mirror got even sexier.)
(She even dances.)
(Is she Uhm Jung Hwa?)
(That can't be.)
(Isn't she Uhm Jung Hwa?)
(Is she?)
(She's taller than Uhm Jung Hwa.)
(Her performance was similar to the original one.)
Lady Without a Mirror, please remove your mask...
and show us who you are.
(Screaming)
This is...
Why?
Who is it?
The ladies in the audience are surprised.
I think it's Uhm Jung Hwa. She sounds like her.
(Is she really Uhm Jung Hwa?)
(Is she an actress born in 1980s?)
Please remove your mask and show us who you are.
This is...
Lee Yoon Mi, a model and singer with 15 years of experience.
(It was Lee Yoon Mi!)
She sang a song that her husband composed.
Oh, my gosh.
(Her choice of the song was a hint.)
(No wonder...)
(her interpretation of the song was perfect.)
- She used to be a singer. - Really?
(Looking back on her times as a singer,)
(she sings adorably.)
I thought she was Uhm Jung Hwa.
They're similar.
Her voice sounded so similar.
(She finishes off confidently.)
(Her performance heated up the atmosphere in the studio.)
We now know who Lady Without a Mirror is.
We should have known when she sang Joo Young Hoon's song.
Right.
It was Lee Yoon Mi, the ex-supermodel celebrity.
Hello.
(Shy)
I'm Lee Yoon Mi. Today I'm not...
- a mother of two kids... - Okay.
nor Joo Young Hoon's wife. I'm Lee Yoon Mi.
- Great to see you all. - All right.
Will you be making the cake for my engagement ceremony?
Are you getting engaged?
You will have to listen to me.
(In 2006, she got married to a composer, Joo Young Hoon.)
- Stay together - Stay together
I told you it's going to give you goosebumps.
You were supposed to come to my place with ginseng.
- I know. - What time will you be coming?
What did Young Hoon say about you coming here?
I kept it a secret from him.
- Right. - Really?
Young Hoon does not know she's here.
- I didn't tell him about it, - Right.
so he'll find out when we watch the show together.
- He will. - Wow.
You really shouldn't tell him.
His nickname is Yeouido Antennae.
He has a big mouth.
- Really? - He won't keep it a secret.
Anyhow, that was a close match.
When the song "Betrayal of the Rose" started to play,
I wondered if you were Uhm Jung Hwa.
- Your voice is similar to hers. - Right.
Only few people know, but she used to be a singer for a while.
- A long, long time ago. - A long, long time ago?
(TheS, a female duo who made their debut in 2003)
(Yoon Mi was a singer before she became an actress.)
I heard the reason you stopped your career as a singer was...
your husband.
- Yes. - Is it true?
- A little more than 10 years ago, - Yes?
people made scandals about us while we were on the show...
- "Great Challenge" with Yoon Seok. - I see.
But a lot of people commented on the articles...
that Lee Yoon Mi is flirting with a composer,
because she failed as a singer.
So many people believed so.
- Really? - They doubted we'd live well.
- I see. - So after seeing that, I thought...
I should never sing on stage again.
But your voice is too beautiful to be hidden from the world.
A lot of people were surprised by your performance.
You needed some time before you could...
come back on stage after deciding to quit singing.
What made you want to come back on stage...
and take the chance to sing once more?
- I have two kids, - Right.
and my second kid is about eight months old.
Our family is a big fan of King of Mask Singer,
and my daughter is obsessed with masks because of the show.
So we always have our own King of Mask Singer competition at home.
(Mirror or Spider?)
(Their happy duet performance at home)
Since it's almost Children's day,
- I wanted to come out here... - Right.
- and give my daughters a gift. - I see.
She came on the show to gift her children on Children's day.
Please give another round of applause to Lee Yoon Mi.
- Great job today. - Thank you.
(Please continue to show us your myriad charms.)
(She's smiling even after coming down from the stage.)
- Do you feel relieve now? - Yes, I do.
I was getting ready to try out other things...
and reading a few screenplays,
but I felt myself losing confidence.
When I was about to lose all my confidence after giving birth...
to my kids, King of Mask Singer gave me the energy to stand back up.
Even until now, I kept doubting myself and wondering...
if I can be a good actress for a certain role.
Now I feel like I have gained the confidence to do anything.
After Round One,
Sweet Chocolate beats Lee Yoon Mi and moves on to Round Two.
Now we'll have the second match of Round One.
(The second match of Round One)
The second match of Round One.
A powerful voice that's like a dunk shot,
Slam Dunk!
(Slam Dunk)
My voice only assists me.
(Wow!)
He's very tall.
Isn't it Sung Si Kyung?
He can't be Si Kyung.
Going against Slam Dunk,
the vocal arts of a martial arts master.
Kung Fu Panda.
(Kung Fu Panda)
I will make your hearts bounce.
(Come on!)
(Kung Fu)
He's pretty tall.
I think his shoes are high.
(Shoot)
He's not a good basketball player.
He's bad at basketball.
- They're both tall. - Are they models?
Is he wearing rubber gloves?
- Rubber gloves? - He is.
He's wearing rubber gloves.
(He's pulling up his shorts.)
(It keeps sliding down.)
(The two masked singers of considerable height)
(It's hard to guess who they are just by their looks.)
(What kind of performance...)
(will these two tall singers show us?)
("After Sending You" by YB)
(What?)
- I know for sure he's handsome. - He must be.
(Slam Dunk's sweet, husky voice is...)
(capturing all women's hearts.)
(Panda's voice is low and charming.)
(He has a unique vocalisation method of pulling on the notes.)
(Who are they?)
(Panda delivers his strong emotions...)
(with his rough voice.)
He's so good.
(They are charmed by Kung Fu Panda.)
(Oh, my!)
(Kung Fu Panda missed the beat, influenced by the atmosphere.)
(He focuses on singing again.)
(Slam Dunk continues the song with his sweet voice.)
(With his stable breathing technique,)
(he expresses the sorrow of parting eloquently.)
(Slam Dunk sings the song expertly.)
He is very good.
(Admiring)
I like both of their voices.
(Kung Fu Panda's sad cry touches people's hearts.)
(Two men with different voices...)
(sing in a sentimental harmony.)
(It was two men's song about the sadness of partings.)
- It was nice. - I like it.
(It was great.)
I like it so much.
(They are two, very attractive singers.)
- It is so difficult. - It is hard to decide.
I want to hear their voices once again.
The second match of Round One is over.
Please say hello to the viewers.
Slam Dunk, you go first.
(Making a bow)
(He looks slow as he is very tall.)
Hello. I'm Slam Dunk.
Okay. Indeed, he is...
tall enough to be a basketball player.
Kung Fu Panda, it's your turn.
Hello.
I'm Kung Fu Panda.
Wow, how nice.
He looks so cute saying hello.
He seems to be good at Kung Fu.
Jang Hyuk, what do you think of their breathing?
The two singers have...
totally different singing styles. They looked skilled.
I think they are singers with a lot of singing experiences.
But it seems they are hiding their skills.
Look at the way Kung Fu Panda is leaning to one side.
- That's how singers stand. - Excuse me,
but could you please stand up straight? We are on the stage.
Okay. Thank you.
Slam Dunk didn't even...
care about his breathing.
He just let out his breath.
So I didn't think he was being competitive.
He just wanted to enjoy his performance.
I believe he is a skilled...
- and experienced singer. - Okay.
As I heard Panda's voice,
I thought he just let out his voice.
- Did he? - It's not he let out his breath.
I couldn't ask her to stay
He sang like this.
(He just let out his voice.)
- I see. - He sounded drunk.
- And he sounded like a tough guy. - That's right.
- Even though he sang like that, - Yes?
- I liked his voice. - I see.
When I heard Kung Fu Panda singing,
I thought he was...
- from overseas. - He pronounced "R" differently.
Towards the end, he sang like this.
I couldn't ask her to stay
- Okay. - He said, "To stay".
He pronounced the part very clearly.
I couldn't ask her to stay
- To stay. - To stay?
- What is that? - He should have sounded like this.
- He looks upset. - But that's...
- He looks comfortable on the stage. - He's not afraid at all.
And he is upset now.
As I see him, I think...
he is a young rocker or something.
- A rocker? - His singing style is...
like that of a rocker.
And he's got a husky voice...
- which sounds attractive. - I see.
It may not be his real voice,
but it was attractive anyway.
- I wonder who he is. - Right.
Slam Dunk...
sang with a nasal sound.
Based on his use of vibrato...
and his voice,
- I think I know him. - Does he sound familiar to you?
Yes. I think his initials are T and W.
- That's my guess. - I see.
- Do you like his voice? - Yes. I like him a lot.
And I've met him before in a TV programme.
But he looked slightly different from that time.
As far as I know, Seung Chul usually...
pulls down his sunglasses when he focuses on something.
I guess you were curious about something.
I think both of them...
tried hard to hide their identity.
- I see. - So...
Panda exaggerated his voice...
and Slam Dunk...
- depressed his voice. - Okay.
As Hye Jin just said,
I think Slam Dunk is a person we all know very well.
He looks like TW, but 20kg lighter.
- Does he look slimmer than TW? - Yes. He's 20kg lighter.
He looks too slim.
He looks like TW, but he looks 20kg lighter than TW.
That's why I'm confused.
TW is always more than 100kg, though.
- He is too slim to be TW. - That's right.
- But he just sounds like TW. - Okay.
Meanwhile, Kung Fu Panda...
exaggerated his voice too much.
If he sang in front of songwriters,
they would have scolded him so harshly.
- He was exaggerating too much. - I see.
- Songwriters wouldn't like it. - No.
I'm not sure as they are hiding their identity.
- I see. - Both of them are very tall.
There are not many singers who are that tall.
- I see. - And Slam Dunk is...
covering his arm with something.
- I think he has tattoos on his arm. - I see.
- I thought the same. - I think he is Sleepy.
- Oh, Sleepy. - He is very tall.
- I think he is Sleepy. - He looks different.
- Sleepy is slimmer than him. - That's my guess.
I'm sure he is not Kim Tae Woo.
- He can't be that slim. - Right.
- He may be on a diet. - If he were Tae Woo...
and he lost weight, he would have sagging skin.
- I think so. - His skin is too firm.
When you lose weight, you rarely lose weight on legs.
- I see. - But he has...
- slim legs. - He looks young.
- I bet he is in his 20s. - His legs are naturally slim.
Cao Lu, what do you think? Is there anyone...
who looks like an idol singer?
Kung Fu Panda, please stand up straight.
When he stands straight, his left shoulder is higher.
- And his right shoulder is slumped. - Okay.
- I can see that. - So I think he is a singer.
And he wears his guitar all the time.
Wow, you have good eyes.
(It is a good reasoning.)
You figured it out looking at his shoulders.
- Yes. He's in a band. - That's not it.
If he wore a guitar a lot,
- the left one would be slumped. - He could be left handed.
- He might play like this. - He may be a left handed guitarist.
- That's right. - Cao Ru is right.
Hyun Chul said...
Kung Fu Panda sounded like a man...
from a foreign country.
I can give you a hint on that.
Kung Fu Panda says he is good at singing folk songs...
while playing drums.
- What I mean is... - Folk songs playing drums?
I don't think he is from a foreign country.
Hang on. Isn't he from North America?
(Isn't he from North America?)
- That's ridiculous. - I'm sorry.
- Stop it. - That was a good joke.
- You will find it funny later. - Okay.
- Later? - Yes.
Let's watch him sing a folk song.
He is left handed.
- That's right. - He is good at playing drums.
(What do you think?)
- That's it? - Is it over?
Is that it?
- Is it over? - Are you done?
Ari arirang
Sseuri sseurirang
My heart is broken
(Drum roll)
You are done.
He is done.
He is charismatic.
He is done.
- It was short and sweet. - All right.
Seung Chul, what do you think of his skills...
- in singing folk songs? - In my opinion...
Wait a minute, I wouldn't say he sang a folk song.
The only person I know with a charisma like his...
is Choi Min Soo.
(Is Kung Fu Panda the charismatic actor, Choi Min Soo?)
What do you think you are doing?
You think only Choi Min Soo has a charisma like his.
Even though he is wearing a cute mask,
- I am too scared to talk to him. - Choi Min Soo?
- Everyone is too scared to talk. - I see.
- My goodness. - All right.
This time, Slam Dunk will show his special talent.
It is not quite the sexy dance.
Give us the music.
(Everyone, clap.)
There he goes.
He is feeling the groove.
(Sexy)
What a suggestive dance!
- My goodness. - It's not quite the sexy dance.
I don't know where to look.
Gosh, don't do that.
Don't do that.
(Seong Ju's words only provoked them.)
All right.
Let's stop the dance here.
(Cheering)
I don't know if we can air that dance on TV.
My goodness, stop.
- He is an idol singer. - Slam Dunk is enjoying this.
- He is an idol singer. - He is an older idol singer.
- That's what I think. - He is an idol singer.
Kung Fu Panda, would you show us a sexy dance?
- Please show us a bit. - He did dance after Slam Dunk.
Would you do that? He nodded.
I can hold your microphone.
This is a sexy dance. Give us the music.
We don't want a dirty dance.
- We don't want a dirty dance. - He is extraordinary.
- Your shorts are sliding down. - His legs might be that long.
Please show us a sexy and provocative dance.
Give us the music.
(What will Kung Fu Panda's sexy dance be like?)
(He pulls up his shorts.)
How nice!
- Oh, my. - My goodness.
(Let me join him!)
I don't know where to look.
(The two masked singers dance together.)
What is wrong with these people?
How scandalous!
Please stop.
Let's stop the dance here.
Let's stop the dance here. My goodness, stop.
All right.
Hye Jin, it looked like you enjoyed their dance a lot.
- I loved it. - You loved it.
All right. Who would you vote for based on their dance skills?
- Kung Fu Panda. - Kung Fu Panda.
- My goodness. - He is the best.
- Go Eun. - Yes?
What did you think of their sexy dances?
Both of them are very sexy.
Kung Fu Panda kept fiddling with his trousers.
My goodness.
(My goodness.)
- What was that sound? - Wait a minute.
- For goodness' sake. - Is that your special talent?
Why are you snorting?
- I apologise. - What was that sound?
- Please don't snort. - I apologise.
The way he used his trousers appropriately...
made me wonder if he is a man who wears boxers often.
- You think he is old. - He seems comfortable in them.
Yes, I think he is on the older side.
- He used the shorts for his dance. - Oh, boxers.
Yes, he used the trousers appropriately.
- Wait a minute, I know who he is. - Gu Ra.
Did you figure it out?
You know him well.
Is he someone Seung Chul knows well?
He is J.
- J? - His initials are JJY.
JJY.
- JJY. - JJY?
- Who is that? - Jung Joon Young.
- I think Gu Ra is right. - Listen,
he is Jung Joon Young.
(He is a rocker...)
(who has drooped shoulders just like Kung Fu Panda.)
- He is a young singer. - He is JJY.
I figured it out.
Do you see the way Kung Fu Panda is leaning on his foot?
- Joon Young always stands that way. - Gu Ra is right.
I don't think Joon Young can dance.
Don't you think Seung Chul would have recognised him...
- if he is Joon Young? - That's right.
He has visited the show to make a fool out of you.
- Since Seung Chul is a panellist. - That's right.
Kung Fu Panda's voice is too deep.
He could be doing that on purpose.
You think he exaggerated his voice like I said earlier.
Let's move on.
He is moving on quicker than usual.
(Laughing)
- He is Joon Young. - All right.
- I figured it out. - It seems that way.
I will now reveal the result...
of the second match of Round One.
Between the emperor of the basketball court, Slam Dunk,
and the icon of martial artists, Kung Fu Panda,
whose voice had more impact?
The winner will be revealed now.
Who is the winner?
Who will move on to Round Two?
(He sang gently and clearly.)
(Slam Dunk's voice appealed to people's emotions.)
(He has a unique singing style and a sense of groove.)
(Kung Fu Panda's voice is full of character.)
Who will win and move on to Round Two?
The winner is...
- Slam Dunk! - Slam Dunk!
Panda! Panda!
(It was a fierce match.)
(Whose voice captured the audience's hearts?)
Between Slam Dunk and Kung Fu Panda,
who will win the second match and move on to Round Two?
The winner is...
(Slam Dunk wins.)
Slam Dunk wins.
(Since the two masked singers both sang with intensity,)
(the panellists' reactions vary.)
I can't believe Panda lost.
Slam Dunk won.
(It's too bad.)
The final score was 58 to 41.
With a final score of 58 to 41, Slam Dunk beat Kung Fu Panda...
and became the winner.
Slam Dunk, please get ready for Round Two.
Please give him a round of applause.
(Kung Fu Panda's identity will be revealed soon.)
(Relieved)
(I won.)
It was more nerve wrecking than I imagined.
(I will score a point in Round Two as well.)
Slam Dunk moved on to Round Two.
My goodness.
You are on TV. Please refrain from being violent.
Please calm down. It's okay to lose.
Just because Slam Dunk moved on to the next round...
I will stop.
Who could be...
- Kung Fu Panda? - We know who he is.
While listening to the song he has prepared for Round Two,
let's check out his identity.
Please give him a round of applause.
(His identity will be revealed during the performance.)
I think he is a rocker.
I think he is a singer who always carries his guitar.
The only person I know with a charisma like his is Choi Min Soo.
- Who is that? - Jung Joon Young.
(Who are you?)
("Left-Hander" by Panic)
What?
His voice is different.
We still could be right.
(Kung Fu Panda's voice has completely changed.)
(His voice is different.)
(I guess he isn't Jung Joon Young.)
(Shall we have a party?)
(He is revving up.)
(Everyone is absorbed in Kung Fu Panda's rhythm.)
(This is fun.)
(His voice is groovy...)
(and unique.)
(Kung Fu Panda has a unique and cheerful energy.)
(Everyone is excited.)
(Kung Fu Panda has an irresistible charm.)
Kung Fu Panda, please take off your mask...
and reveal your identity.
He is...
(Curious)
He is...
(Who could Kung Fu Panda be?)
(Screaming)
He is...
Is he an idol singer?
He is...
Kung Fu Panda, please take off your mask...
and reveal your identity.
He is...
a hip hop musician, Sleepy of Untouchable.
(No way!)
(Did Sleepy visit the show?)
- You were right. - He can sing very well.
You thought Slam Dunk was Sleepy.
(I almost got it right.)
(Surprised)
(He speaks of the dreams he has for music...)
(through his rap.)
(Mouth gaping)
(The rhythm matches...)
(his charming voice.)
(Everyone dances along.)
(Sleepy is here today as a singer, not a rapper.)
(He broke the stereotype against him.)
(Everybody dances along.)
Clap your hands!
(Everyone sings along...)
(with one voice.)
(To the finale)
(The stage was full of Sleepy's happy energy.)
Peace!
(It was an exciting performance.)
Sleepy!
Gosh, he totally fooled me.
I didn't know he is that tall.
The identity of Kung Fu Panda has been revealed.
I'm glad to meet you. I'm Sleepy.
(He made his debut in 2008 with the song, "It's Okay".)
(Sleepy is a member of the hip-hop duo, Untouchable.)
(His solo album has "Cool Night" "Kibuntat"and "Body Lotion".)
(He also composed songs for B.A.P, SONAMOO and A.KOR.)
(He gained popularity in "Real Men 2".)
Sleepy!
Everybody, stop!
(He emerged as a new star of entertainment shows.)
In the middle of our conversation a while ago,
his name was mentioned.
- I mentioned Sleepy. - He did.
- I thought he was the other one. - But he said Slam Dunk is Sleepy.
My heart sank for a moment.
I was stunned.
- You know, Sleepy is... - Right.
- pretty tall. - Sleepy?
(What do I do?)
Count that as right.
- Okay. We'll count it as right. - Please count that as right.
Gu Ra was pretty sure that he's Jung Joon Young.
- I knew he wasn't. - Gu Ra rebuked you for not knowing.
It turned out that he hid his genre, not his voice.
- I see. - He tried a different genre here.
As far as I know,
it's the first time for Sleepy...
to sing on stage.
- My first time to sing on stage. - He sang the whole song.
All right. You were amazing.
(You did a good job.)
I think Heo Kyung Hwan should've known he was Sleepy.
- You are close to him. - Actually, I mostly saw him...
lying down in "Real Men 2" rather than performing on stage.
I learned that I should take a rest during a break.
(He lay down whenever he had a chance.)
I didn't recognise you because you were on your feet. I'm sorry.
Some of them guessed you may be a left hander.
Are you really a left hander?
- I'm right handed. - He's right handed.
Why did you play the drum with your left hand?
You held the drum stick in your left hand.
- You did that on purpose? - I just acted like a left hander.
- Goodness. - I did that to confuse you.
- He has a good sense. - He did a good job.
He has a good sense to act like a left handed person.
Sleepy said he wanted to show his performance...
to his parents more than anybody.
That's what he told us.
My parents strongly disapproved of my music career.
They firmly opposed it.
I just thought that if they watch me sing on a big stage like this,
they might acknowledge me.
- That was my intention. - All right.
Would you tell your parents who worry about your career...
that they shouldn't be worried?
Even though I'm not a big star, I'm still working hard...
with my music career.
I'll become a better musician and a better son.
- I love you. - All right.
(We support you, Sleepy.)
Not as a rapper, but as a singer today,
Sleepy gave us a happy surprise.
Please give him a big hand.
(We hope you grow stronger.)
Thank you.
(Good bye!)
(He walks out.)
(Yes! It's done!)
(He looks relieved.)
It was my first time to sing a whole song on stage.
King of Mask Singer gave me a chance to make my dream come true.
I won't forget this stage.
I used to want to be a singer at first.
So I'll try to be a singer...
as well as a rapper for you.
Slam Dunk has defeated Sleepy and moved on to Round Two.
As soon as this show is aired, you are asked to participate...
in the online survey to expect the winner of King of Mask Singer.
Your participation will be appreciated.
We're going to continue with Round One.
Let's start the third match of Round One.
The third match of Round One.
He's the music hero who will save the earth.
King of the Night, Batman!
(King of the Night, Batman)
(Imposing)
(He has a heavy build.)
- Batman! - Batman.
His mask is spectacular.
His opponent...
has a voice that lingers in your mind forever.
Should've Been a Spider!
(Should've Been a Spider)
(He strides ahead.)
Not everybody can wear the Spiderman suit.
(He takes off the gown.)
Those boxers don't belong to the suit.
It has to be briefs.
- It should be briefs. - Briefs can be censored.
(Spider wears boxers?)
Look, he's muscular.
No, sponge is in his costume.
It's heavily padded.
(It's heavily padded.)
(Two heroes on one stage)
(It's an unprecedented match.)
(What song will they sing?)
("Instinctively" by Yoon Jong Shin)
(His cool and rhythmical voice...)
(makes you bounce from the beginning.)
(His poised, baritone voice...)
(exudes charisma.)
(His singing skills have depth and hint the years of experience.)
(Soul rhythms make the cheerful atmosphere of a jazz café.)
(House band)
(His straight high notes sound delightful.)
(He's good.)
(Batman interprets the song in his own style.)
(He enchants me.)
(It feels like that)
(It's an instinct)
(Even ad-libbing?)
(Everybody now)
(I felt it instinctively)
(It was an enchanting sound made by the two heroes of the night.)
(We can't help but bounce.)
- Way to go! - I liked it.
- Both of their voices are great. - Absolutely.
Gosh, it's hard to choose one.
The third match of Round One has just finished.
Please say hello to the viewers. Batman, please go first.
(Ah, ah)
Hello, I'm King of the Night, Batman.
He is very polite.
He is King of the Night, Batman.
(Next up is the Spider.)
Hello. I'm...
Should've been a Spider.
(He bows as well.)
He is Should've been a Spider.
Seung Chul, how did you like these two male singers' performance?
It was a match between two singers having similar builds.
But both of you did the mike test.
- I said this before. - Yes?
Professional singers don't do that.
Professional singers say "Look" or "Check" for the mike test.
They don't say "Ah".
When you are on stage, you can't help saying that.
I liked Batman's vocal tone.
His vocal tone draws immediate attraction.
Spider is better in technical finesse.
- Okay, right. - Wait.
Now I'll analyse their physical appearance.
As a middle aged man,
our worst nightmare is spider like body shape.
Oh, gosh.
- He has a big belly and thin legs. - Right, right.
Oh, okay.
I thought he had a slim body.
But even with his long legs,
he won't look good in jeans.
- Am I like that? - I'll explain in detail.
He has raised shoulders and he walks splay-footed.
If you see him from behind,
his buttocks would seem notably flat.
- Right. - Do you understand me?
- I know. - He's old.
- So he's nicknamed as Spider. - Yes.
Speaking of legs,
- I think Spider is an actor. - An actor.
He is a very famous actor, even in China.
He is called "Handsome Guy with Long Legs" in China.
- "Handsome Guy with Long Legs"? - Yes.
- Is he known in China? - Yes.
- He's very famous. - Who is he?
I think he is Lee Jung Suk.
- Lee Jong Suk, you mean. - Lee Jong Suk.
- Lee Jong Suk.
(Former model who became an actor, he's known for slim and tall body.)
- Lee Jong Suk. - Lee Jong Suk.
- His legs look similar. - A long ago,
staff members who used to work with him...
told me that...
he loves Spider Man.
That reminds me of one thing.
When he was told to choose a mask, he chose this.
He recently signed a contract for six million dollars.
I don't think a guy of six million dollars would dress up like that.
- But he loves Spider Man. - That can happen.
- He may like to sing. - That's also possible.
He may perform out of love for stage.
As for Batman,
he has a low voice that sounds little greasy.
His voice is sleek,
and that makes his voice...
charming and attractive.
On the other hand, Spider's voice has warmth.
- Spider has a warm voice. - As a result,
his high notes...
attracted me more than that of Batman.
Batman is better in low notes and Spider in high notes.
He is very rhythmical.
So I think he might be a terrific rapper.
Hye Jin said just now that his English pronunciation is very good.
- He might be from New York. - Does he speak like a New Yorker?
Yes.
Do people from L.A. and New York pronounce differently?
- Yes. - What's the difference?
New York is much influenced by England,
so New Yorkers tend to pronounce R sound loosely.
But people in L.A. pronounce R sound clearly.
Could you give us examples in words and sentences?
- People in L.A. say "Water". - "Water".
- This is how they pronounce. - "Water".
But people in New York say "Water".
(But people in New York say "Water".)
(Two pronunciations are identical.)
- What's the difference? - They are exactly alike.
- They are the same "Water". - He's just thirsty.
- We'll let this one go. - He must be thirsty.
We've arranged something...
so that you can guess their age more easily.
- We'll see them dance. - Oh, dance.
Dance moves tell you whether the dancer is young or a bit old.
It will help with your deduction process.
Batman will show us the moonwalk.
That dance is ancient.
There are many kinds of moonwalk.
I'd like to explain about the work of art I'll show you today.
Is it considered an art rather than dance moves?
- To help with your understanding, - Okay.
there are four major moonwalk moves.
- First, there's standing move. - Dancing while standing.
- Second, there's the backward move. - Dancing backwards.
- Then, there's the forward move. - Do you go forward?
- Lastly, you go side ways. - You move to the side.
- Will you show us all four? - It will be brief.
- Okay, then. - Isn't he Son Byong Ho again?
Play the music, please.
This is the first one.
(Nodding)
(This is the standing move.)
Wow, he's good.
He's gliding through. Oh, he's going backwards.
(He's quite good.)
- He's going forward. - He's going forward.
He's going forward, too.
(Why does he step back so suddenly?)
- He's moving sideways. - He goes sideways, too.
(Gliding)
He's moving to the side.
Okay, That's enough.
- He's old. - I loved sideways best.
He even danced to the side.
He's old enough to do that dance as a specialty.
Maybe that's hot in his age.
- Okay. - So I thought...
that he might be about 70 years old.
Come on.
He's between 50 to 60, but never 70.
This must be really cool for people of his age group.
He's between 50 to 60.
Spider practised...
- a bullfighter dance. - What is that?
It's a dance that resembles bullfighter's moves.
- I need a buffalo to attack me. - A buffalo.
- He needs a buffalo.
He said that he's in need of a buffalo.
I'll play the buffalo,
but instead of plain buffalo, I'll be a buffalo that moonwalks.
I would've regretted if I hadn't made you a buffalo.
- This is a collaboration, - A collaboration.
- so I have moonwalk, too. - He said collaboration.
He'll play the buffalo, doing the moonwalk.
Please play the music for a bullfighter's dance.
(He's geared with personal buffalo horn.)
(The bullfighter is ready to fight.)
Oh, right.
He's very passionate.
Look at Spider. Oh, Batman began to moonwalk.
He never forgets the moonwalk.
A buffalo starts to run towards the bullfighter.
- He lets go of the buffalo swiftly. - Oh, my.
He remembers to take steps.
Please enjoy our bullfighter's dance.
And then he resumes.
The buffalo rushes again.
Oh, are they in love now?
(Are they suddenly in love?)
What is this? Wait a minute.
A buffalo and a bullfighter.
What are you doing?
(They start dancing in the middle of bullfighting.)
(Spider stretches his body.)
- What on earth is this? - What is this on Children's Day?
What a dance. This is enough.
(It was a successful collaboration.)
Although Batman's voice was hidden,
- he couldn't hide his accent. - Yes, you are right.
- He sounds old. - He speaks like this.
"Hello, I'm Bae Chul Soo."
I say. Thank you.
(Is Batman Bae Chul Soo?)
There are wild guesses about Batman's accent.
- Everyone is guessing about it. - He as an accent.
We'll have him mimic a voice.
He says that he can mimic Han Seok Gyu's voice.
Please, give us Han Seok Gyu's voice!
"Hello, I'm Han Seok Gyu."
- Wait a minute. - What is this?
- What did he do? - He said he's good at this.
- This isn't right. - "Hello, I'm Batman."
- His voice didn't change a bit. - I apologise on his behalf.
We'll move on to Spider's voice mimicry.
He said he can mimic Cho Young Nam's voice.
I can cry, I can cry
My honest wish is
He's really good.
- Be more confident. - He's funny.
- Isn't he good? - Do one more.
He will sing "Me Gustas Tu" by GFRIEND...
in Cho Young Nam's voice.
Oh, my gosh.
(It's a song full of girly spirit.)
- Is this even possible? - It's very meaningful.
Now, reveal your actual voice, please.
Bong Sun, you and me
From today on
(She is startled.)
Bong Sun, you and me
From today
- Nice! - It's so funny.
- So funny. - He called Bong Sun's name.
- He's so funny. - I think he's in his 50s.
(I think he's in his 50s.)
- I think he's in his 50s. - He is quite old.
- He's so funny. - All right.
I'll now announce the result of...
Round One's third match.
It was a match between two charismatic heroes.
I'll announce the hero...
of today's stage...
who will advance to Round Two.
(Batman's song was addictive...)
(with his smooth, rhythmical voice.)
(Details in Spider's song stood out.)
(Every note bursts with groove.)
The third winner of duet song match.
The winner is...
- I support Spider. - This is too difficult.
- It's a close run. - Who loses or wins doesn't matter.
(The winner of this close match is hard to guess.)
(So, who is it?)
Between Batman and Spider Man,
the winner of this match is...
Who won?
(King of the Night, Batman wins.)
Batman wins.
(The winner is Batman.)
The bat!
(Those who support Spider moan.)
(Different emotions coexist in this moment.)
Batman beats Spider Man.
The votes were 55 to 44.
Batman became the winner by...
11 votes' difference. Congratulations.
Please move to the backstage.
Please give him a round of applause.
(Batman will take over King of Mask Singer.)
Batman is the winner of this match.
(He seems to step down from the stage calmly.)
(Yes!)
I won.
Who is Should've been a Spider?
We will find out who he is while...
listening to the song he prepared for his solo performance.
Please give him a big round of applause.
(Spider's true identity will soon be revealed.)
Lee Jong Suk?
- Lee Jong Suk? - Yes.
His body figure is that of a spider.
He has a sort of warmth in him.
He has a warm voice?
("Two People" by Sung Si Kyung)
(His voice warms everyone's heart.)
(How sweet.)
(He sings as if he's whispering with a sentimental voice.)
(He's really good.)
(Spider speaks of his true emotions in a composed voice.)
Spider, please remove your mask...
and show us who you are.
(Did he take his mask off?)
This is...
(Everyone is curious to know whom Spider is.)
Show us who you are.
This is...
a singer, Byun Jae Won who sang the song "Hope" by Toy.
(Toy!)
(He is the owner of the voice in our memories...)
(who no one expected to see.)
Toy!
- I love the song "Hope". - Toy.
He's such a good singer. I love him.
(For some reason, Yoon Seok looks depressed.)
("Hope" is a song we can't leave out when talking about Toy.)
(Byun Jae Won has continued his activity as a singer...)
(after having his debut as a guest vocalist for Toy.)
(Including the production of a project album,)
(Jae Won's activity as a singer has broadened his world of music.)
(His voice sounds exactly as it used to be years ago.)
(His voice has a healing power.)
(His song feels stronger because he sings in a composed manner.)
(His sentimental voice brings back memories.)
(His song comforts everyone.)
(He still has the voice from Toy's song, "Hope".)
(You're the best.)
(A wave of applause)
We now know who Spider is.
Spider was Byun Jae Won who used to be a guest vocalist for Toy.
Please say hello to the viewers.
Hello. I'm a singer, Byun Jae Won.
All right.
When you sang the song, "Hope" by Toy,
- it was the late 1990s, right? - Yes, year 1998.
- Year 1998? - Right.
How have you been since then?
I've been constantly releasing albums...
- singing songs solo, - Right.
- and acting in musicals. - Okay.
- I've never let go of music. - I see.
Yoon Seok has said your name...
a few times on the show. How did you like it?
- This is already a few decades ago, - Right.
but Jae Won, Hong Kyung Min and I used to be very close.
So whenever I heard a good, middle low voice that's charming,
I kept getting reminded of Byun Jae Won.
So I could not help getting emotional.
Young Seok, aren't you acquainted with Jae Won, too?
Even I, who's a good friend of his, was surprised to see him here.
His voice was both joyful and mournful,
and he sings like he is tossing the notes around.
He really knows how to charm the audience with his voice,
so I thought it would be amazing if more people see...
Jae Won's charms as a singer and send him love.
How did it feel singing on stage after a long time?
- I felt really good. - Yes.
Since I've always been longing to be back on stage,
it felt great to be able to sing on stage...
with Young Seok, Yoon Seok and everyone else in front of me.
It was also nice to be able to sing in front of the audience.
Also, speaking of Gu Ra's criticism of my appearance,
- You do not agree? - I used to be...
a jeans model in my 20s.
- Really? - Yes.
But you don't have any curve on your hip.
- That's because of these shorts. - I see.
- My thighs are pretty nice. - Is that true?
Today, we were lucky enough...
to hear Jae Won's real charming voice,
not that of a guest vocalist.
Please give Jae Won another round of applause.
(We look forward to your future endeavours.)
I have mixed feelings right now,
and I was motivated to try harder.
I think King of Mask Singer is going to be...
a turning point in my career as a singer.
Batman beats Byun Jae Won...
and moves on to Round Two.
The fourth match of Round One.
The girl crush voice that will take over the stage.
Mysterious Wonder Woman!
(Mysterious Wonder Woman)
(A character from the past)
The flying Wonder Woman
(The heroine who captivated many young boys...)
(with her bizarre outfit and flashy visual effects)
(She's swinging a noose around.)
Wonder Woman used to throw that one.
(Wonder Woman used to catch bad guys using just a noose.)
(The old men are travelling back in time.)
Going against Wonder Woman,
The bright moonlight like voice,
Sailor Moon of Justice!
(Sailor Moon of Justice)
(I'm here, everyone.)
Moon crystal power!
Vote for me!
(Shining)
(Her gestures are very cheerful.)
(Laughing)
("Sailor Moon" was on television in the late 1990s.)
- I won't let you free... - In the name of justice.
It's "I won't forgive you."
(Was I too violent?)
Look at her posture.
(Her gestures are very detailed.)
(Two female cartoon characters...)
(who once dominated the times)
(The two masked singers have grabbed...)
(everyone's attention just by their appearance.)
(Will they show great singing skills...)
(which these famous characters deserve for their popularity?)
("Hahaha Song" by Jaurim)
Is she a member of Jaurim?
(She's got a unique and dreamlike voice.)
Is she singing her own song?
(You)
Who is she?
(The studio heats up with their harmony.)
(Let's enjoy it!)
(Pricking up her ears)
(Sailor Moon shows off her refined stage manners.)
(Interested)
(Her nasal voice sounds attractive.)
(The cheerful harmony gets the audience even more excited.)
(Let's have fun together!)
(Sailor Moon gets very excited.)
She's amazing.
(Wow!)
(While Sailor Moon dances to the song cheerfully,)
(Wonder Woman sings with her powerful charisma.)
(She sings well in high pitched tones.)
(This is exciting.)
(The two masked singers enjoy their performance.)
(Dazed)
(Sailor Moon is showing a good stage presence.)
(Wonder Woman sings in a powerful and charismatic voice.)
(The two heroines are performing with a perfect harmony.)
(The audience is dancing along...)
(with the two popular cartoon characters.)
(It is not over yet!)
(What is that?)
(To all the boys and girls who are tired of the reality)
(The two masked singers with different characteristics...)
(showed a great performance with a fantastic harmony.)
They are pretty!
I like their voices.
(This is nice.)
I liked it.
- This is too difficult. - It is hard to decide.
(They have no idea who the masked singers are.)
The last match of Round One is over.
Whose voice touched your heart the most?
Whose voice did you like better?
All votes are in.
Please introduce yourself to the viewers.
Hello. I'm Mysterious Wonder Woman.
Okay.
Wonder Woman looks pretty.
Now, Young Seok looks very happy.
I just realised one thing today.
- The finale is always the best. - Yes.
He looks very excited.
"The finale is always the best."
Sailor Moon, it is your turn.
In the name of the Moon, I will punish you!
Okay.
She showed some gestures.
Why didn't she finish it?
- Sorry? - She didn't finish the pose.
- That's right. - I think she made a mistake.
- We almost heard her real voice. - I see.
(She dominated the stage with her performance.)
(Laughing)
She's good.
(And she was good at dancing.)
If she were an idol singer,
she'd dance...
- like this or this. - Do you have to stand up?
- But Sailor Moon was... - I don't want to see that.
like this.
- I think you are mistaken. - So I think...
she is a cheerful woman.
She is in her late 20s or early 30s, I guess.
I thought you were going to say Song Eun Yi again.
So she's not Song Eun Yi?
- No, she's not Song Eun Yi. - Okay.
(She is a cheerful woman.)
Seung Chul, I saw you pulling down your sunglasses in the second match.
And you did the same thing during this match.
I think I'm becoming like Young Seok.
(I think I'm becoming like Young Seok.)
- This is my first time to be here. - Yes.
Sailor Moon was the one who caught my eye first.
But Wonder Woman showed more impact as time passed.
To sum up,
it seems Sailor Moon is an entertainer...
- or a celebrity. - Isn't she a singer?
No. Meanwhile, Wonder Woman is a good singer.
I think she is a great singer.
She can sing way better than this with another song.
I guess Music Commander should be afraid of Wonder Woman.
- Is she that good? - Yes.
(Is she that good?)
I think Sailor Moon...
is a bit young.
There is a girl who became popular...
in a children's programme.
- She's LSM. - LSM?
- Are you talking about Lee Su Min? - She's a teenager.
- Lee Su Min? - I met her on a TV show.
She reminds me of one person.
- She likes cosplay. - Okay.
She's a dubbing artist and popular in many variety shows.
- Miss MLT? - Yes. Miss MLT.
I think she is Seo Yu Ri.
(She has a pleasant voice, and she is free spirited.)
Did you call me?
I bet she is Seo Yu Ri.
- Okay. - Is she slimmer than Seo Yu Ri?
She suffered enteritis recently.
- How did you know that? - I know that kind of stuff.
- Because of enteritis? - That's right.
- She probably lost about 3kg. - So she lost some weight.
- Yes. - Sailor Moon...
can mimic the voice of Ko Eun Ae in "Run, Hani".
She's a dubbing artist.
This is the good thing about marriage.
(Ko Eun Ae has a huge crush on the teacher, Hong Doo Kkae.)
"Gu Ra, I am pretty, right?"
- "Right?" - She's cute.
Yes. You are pretty.
She can also mimic the voice of Zhu Bajie.
"Gu Ra, why are you doing that?"
That was better.
And Wonder Woman can mimic the voice of Sha Wujing.
"Moth!"
- That was better. - That was good.
She can also mimic Shin Chan!
"Buy me a toy."
She's good at it.
(They seem to like Wonder Woman better.)
This is the last one.
She can mimic the voice of a dubbing artist in a foreign film.
(The movie of the weekend)
("Wonder Woman")
I'm Wonder Woman.
Seong Ju, wait for me. I'm very strong.
Wait for me. I will save you.
(Tough)
Really?
- She is a dubbing artist. That was nice.
I like her voice.
- She is the dubbing artist. - Sorry?
- She is the dubbing artist. - You said Sailor Moon was.
No, she's not good at it.
(She's not good at it.)
She's not a dubbing artist.
- How can you say that to her? - It's true, she's not good.
She is a dubbing artist. Is she Lee Yong Shin?
Is Lee Yong Shin here?
- I'm sure that's her. - Isn't she?
- I know. Do you know her? - No. She sounds like her.
(Embarrassed)
- Don't you know Lee Yong Shin? - No.
- He's a bit clumsy. - Her voice sounds familiar.
- I've heard the voice before. - A dubbing artist.
So Seung Chul thinks...
she is a dubbing artist.
- I'm 100 percent sure. - 100 percent sure?
And Wonder Woman will show...
a rope dance, it says.
- A rope? - Do you need a rope?
It is a trade mark of Wonder Woman.
I will lure a man I like...
- with a noose. - Oh, my.
You may remember Wonder Woman.
Please play the music.
(Swinging)
(Seong Ju looks stiff as Wonder Woman approaches him.)
That's Earth, Wind and Fire.
(Approaching)
(Throwing)
(Startled)
She's dancing. It's a rope dance.
I like it.
(He feels dizzy.)
(Wonder Woman is coming closer to Seong Ju.)
(Shy)
(He is cute.)
- Okay. That's it. - Is it over?
Yes.
I almost had a heart attack.
I loved the rope trick.
- Let's have Sailor Moon try it. - Sailor Moon?
Would you show us a rope trick?
- I see. - She will give it a go.
She can dance with a rope.
Would you like to tie me up with a rope?
I will gladly volunteer. Give us the music.
(Sailor Moon is determined to do well.)
- My goodness. - That's it.
- My goodness. - That's good.
Look at her.
- My goodness. - That's good.
- She is amazing. - Gosh, don't do that.
Gosh, don't do that. Don't tie me up.
Don't do that. My goodness.
(There is more.)
(Whipping)
(Embarrassed)
- My goodness. - All right.
- My goodness. - Seong Ju.
- Yes? - It wouldn't be good for you son,
- Min Guk to see you like that. - You are right.
It might be awkward for them. It's not what I mind,
but you did recently post a picture of Min Yul and Min Guk.
They are big boys now. Will you be okay when they watch the show?
(What have I done?)
(Thinking of his three children cleared Seong Ju's head.)
Really?
(Thinking of his three children cleared Seong Ju's head.)
You words woke me up. I have regained my senses.
- You have a daughter, too. - Don't hit me with a rope.
- Come to your senses. - Children may be watching.
Dong Hyun is old enough, but Min Guk and Min Yul are not.
Give us a clean version of the performance.
(Give us a clean version of the performance.)
- Children may be watching. - It's too late for that.
- Why are you asking for a repeat? - We don't have time for this.
- Don't be ridiculous. - I need to save myself.
Excuse me, why are you asking for a repeat?
Don't be so harsh. I need to save myself.
- What are you talking about? - I can't disappoint my children.
- Wonder Woman had a rope, too. - She didn't hit me with it.
- Sailor Moon did. - Excuse me.
- Erase it with computer graphics. - Please be understanding.
It's not good for the children.
Give us the music.
(They try again for a clean version.)
(Let's see.)
(Swaying)
(Even though Sailor Moon is dancing seductively,)
(Seong Ju remains motionless like a stone statue.)
(Approaching)
What do you think you are doing?
- That's good. - Everyone is watching.
- It's not good for the children. - Excuse me.
(He is a good actor.)
Why are you ruining her image to save yourself?
- I have no choice. - You shouldn't do that.
- My goodness. - Sailor Moon did no wrong.
Now, let me throw away the rope.
(Let me throw away the rope.)
- My goodness. - He is sad to let it go.
I have an idea of who Wonder Woman might be.
She specialises in rock music.
You think she is a rocker.
- I say her initials are JYJ. - JYJ?
- Do you mean Jang Yoon Jeong?
- JYJ could also be... - You shouldn't be deducing.
- Please stop. - Are the initials wrong?
- I think the initials are wrong. - It seems that way.
- Leave the deductions to me. - Okay.
- Just listen. - You shouldn't be deducing.
There is a group called CherryFilter.
- I think she is Youjeen. - Youjeen.
(Youjeen is the vocalist of CherryFilter.)
(Is Wonder Woman Youjeen, the charismatic rocker?)
You think she is the vocalist of CherryFilter.
It's time...
to announce the result.
Between Wonder Woman and Sailor Moon,
who will prove herself as the stronger heroine?
The winner of the last match of Round One...
will be revealed now.
(Who is the winner of the last match of Round One?)
(She showed a splendid performance with her overflowing energy.)
(With a cheerful performance,)
(Sailor Moon livened up the panellists' mood.)
(Her singing style is charismatic and powerful.)
(Wonder Woman enjoyed the stage in a relaxed manner.)
Who will move on to Round Two?
The winner is...
Between Wonder Woman and Sailor Moon, who will win?
(Screaming)
(Standing up)
- Who will win? - Both of them sang well.
(The two masked singers have different charms.)
(Which heroine will move on to the next round?)
(The mysterious music show, King of Mask Singer)
Who will be the winner, Wonder Woman or Sailor Moon?
(Mysterious Wonder Woman won.)
Wonder Woman won.
Wonder Woman!
- Wonder Woman. - That's good.
That's good.
(Congratulations, Wonder Woman.)
Wonder Woman beat Sailor Moon.
The final score was 67 to 32.
With more than twice her opponent's votes,
Wonder Woman won. Thank you for your hard work.
(Sailor Moon's identity will be revealed.)
She returns to her waiting room with the audience's love.
I love it.
I will do my best on Round Two as well. Let's go!
Let's listen to the song...
she has prepared for Round Two...
and check out her identity. Give her a round of applause.
(Who could Sailor Moon be?)
- Her initials are LSM. - You think she is Lee Su Min.
- She is in ninth grade. - Lee Su Min.
She reminds me of Seo Yu Ri.
("Distant Memories of You" by Park Mi Kyung)
(Her clear voice is completely different from the match.)
(Wow.)
(She sings of memories of a breakup with a trembling voice.)
(Sailor Moon immerses herself in the emotions.)
(Instead of being cheerful and cute,)
(Sailor Moon conveys sorrow in her heart.)
(Sailor Moon's deep sensibility is unexpected.)
Sailor Moon of Justice,
take off your mask and reveal your identity.
Who could she be? She has short hair.
(Who is this woman with short hair?)
She is...
the female lead of "The King of Jokgu",
Hwang Seung Eon.
You don't hang out with her these days.
(She debuted in 2009 with "Whispering Corridors 5".)
Did you two fight?
What are you talking about?
Thank you.
Give and take! Let me borrow your mobile phone.
Would you help me?
(She is busy with commercials, photo shoots and acting.)
(She has the perfect body with the right curves.)
Who do you take me for? I am a model.
(She sang with sincerity.)
(Hwang Seung Eon captivated the audience with her charms.)
Sailor Moon's identity has been revealed.
This is an actress who is best known as the campus queen...
in "The King of Jokgu", Hwang Seung Eon.
Please say hello to the viewers.
Hello, my name is Hwang Seung Eon.
She is pretty.
(The panellists shower her with compliments.)
I can't believe an actress can sing so well.
Long and straight hair is Seung Eon's trademark.
Why did you change your hairstyle?
I got a haircut...
for my next role.
You will be acting alongside Zo In Sung and Jung Woo Sung...
- for a film. - That's right.
- You got a haircut for your role. - Yes.
(Just thinking about it makes them swoon.)
I am so jealous.
I heard that you originally wanted to become a singer.
Becoming a singer was my dream when I was in primary school.
You were in primary school.
Was there a stereotype you wanted to rid of...
by performing on King of Mask Singer?
I gave up on my dream of becoming a singer...
because I have stage fright. I am sure my voice gives it away,
but I get very nervous on the stage.
I don't have a problem with acting, but I get nervous when I sing.
So I came here to tackle my stage fright.
I'm not sure if I did well though.
You did a good job.
By the way, what did you say that to such a pretty woman?
She suffered from stage fright when she sang.
We had the actress Hwang Seung Eon here today.
Please give her another round of applause.
(She plucked up her courage to sing on the stage.)
(She was wonderful.)
It's finally over.
(She breathes sigh of relief.)
I wanted to show people the different side of me.
I've been thinking I want to give it a try for at least once.
It feels like I achieved my goal.
While I was wearing the mask,
I think I was more confident.
It was such a great experience for me.
If I have another chance to be on stage,
I expect myself to do better...
next time.
