Last week.
He won for the second time in a row with this marvellous performance.
The voice that moves our hearts.
The 31st and 32nd King of Mask Singer,
Job Seeker!
(Job Seeker)
(Nice to meet you!)
It's a hot Sunday afternoon.
We will help you beat the heat...
and keep you cool like a glacial stream.
I'm the host, Kim Seong Ju. Nice to meet you!
(The unbiased host, Kim Seong Ju)
Last week,
Job Seeker won his second consecutive match...
and kept his King of Mask Singer title.
Please say hello to our viewers.
(He checks his microphone.)
So many people cheered for me and congratulated me.
Thank you for all of your support. I'll be sure to...
(I'll be sure to...)
- stay here for a long, long time. - I see.
Yes, you should.
Last week, you said you wanted to go to the restroom...
in the middle of the show.
I wanted to go to the restroom. Gosh, my tummy hurts.
You kept talking about your stomach ache,
which flustered our production team.
Are you feeling okay today?
- I'm not sure if I can say this. - Go on.
Last week, I seriously...
(Last week, I seriously...)
I used all of my energy while straining in the restroom.
(I used all of my energy in the restroom.)
- I was exhausted. - I see.
- I'll just make one trip today. - You'll go to the restroom once.
Last week, our filming went on for much longer than we expected...
because of all the trips you made to the restroom.
Hence, the director said...
that he will not allow you to have...
any restroom breaks today.
So you should just figure it out.
Whether you'll just relieve yourself or not, do whatever you need to do.
I will never cause any inconvenience for you...
- with my stomach problems again. - Okay, thank you.
Starting today,
please focus on showing us your grace and dignity...
that befit the King of Mask Singer title.
All right. The mysterious music show, King of Mask Singer.
Now, it's time to meet Job Seeker's competitions.
Who will be the candidates for the 33rd King of Mask Singer?
Let's begin the first round, the duet song match!
(The first match of the first round, the duet song match, begins now.)
(King of Mask Singer)
The first match of the first round.
This hot vocalist will have flocks of fans following him around soon.
Weekly Idol!
(Weekly Idol)
(Eye-catching hand gestures)
My fans, rise and cheer for me!
(Swag)
(My dear fans, Weekly Idol is here!)
(Cheering)
Idol! Idol!
He's trying hard to look like an idol group member.
(This middle-aged man is still young at heart.)
I get a bit of hip-hop vibe from him.
(Is he a hip-hop artist?)
Let's meet his opponent!
The voice that will arrest our eyes and hearts.
Let's Go Video Travel!
(Let's Go Video Travel)
Let's take a trip together...
to my music world. Let's go!
(Let's go on a singing trip!)
(Let's go!)
Oh, my! That was so cool!
(These two dashing contenders come to the centre of the stage...)
(and start taking off their gowns.)
Don't you think that outfit is too old-fashioned?
She must be going for the retro look.
- Gosh, look at his body! - He's buff! He's an idol singer.
No, his muscles look old.
What do you even mean by that?
Hey, did you just see that? His underarms are hairless.
(No way. I can't believe it.)
(His underarms are hairless indeed!)
(How can a man be hairless there?)
(He doesn't know that the panellists are talking about his underarms.)
(He keeps showing off his muscles.)
(Wide-eyed)
(She flaunts a sexy pose to show herself off.)
(Bravo!)
Oh my gosh!
(If you're going to do that...)
(The typical pose that all idol singers do)
(A coquettish pose)
(A groovy hip-hop pose)
(An irresistible sexy pose)
(This heated competition is pointless.)
Neither of them wants to lose.
(The childish battle is over now.)
(The real match is about to begin!)
(We want to find out how talented you are as vocalists.)
(Let us hear your voice!)
("The Day After You Left" by Lee Hyun Woo)
- I wasn't expecting this song. - Oh, my.
("The Day After You Left" by Lee Hyun Woo)
(They prepared a sad ballad unlike everyone's expectation.)
(What will their version of "The Day After You Left" be like?)
(He is listening carefully.)
He's good.
(He has a low husky voice.)
(You can hear his vibrato along his breathing.)
He is a good singer.
I love it.
(She has an amazingly powerful voice.)
(Her fascinating nasal voice shows how relaxed she is.)
(He boldly sings the high notes with great vocality.)
(It's a mature ballad song sung by Weekly Idol.)
Who is it?
- You can't tell who it is, right? - I can't.
I told you it's hard.
(House Band)
I think one of them is a professional singer.
Maybe the lady is a singer and the guy is a rapper.
(She is a really great singer.)
(She freely uses the chest voice and falsetto.)
(Her singing is very soulful.)
(It's beautiful.)
(They sing it as if they are either talking to each other...)
(or soliloquising on the day after a painful breakup.)
(Their duet stage fills the air with sadness.)
(It's a fantastic harmony.)
(Their beautiful performance of "The Day After You Left")
I love it.
Since they were acting cheeky, I didn't expect much from them.
Gosh. They're great singers.
The first match of Round One is now over.
You need to choose one singer who will move on to...
Round Two.
What will be the fate of these two masked singers?
All votes are in.
Weekly Idol, please say hello to the viewers.
(Hopping)
Hello.
- I'm Weekly Idol. - All right.
He's trying to make you think he is an idol singer.
(He shows his move before saying hello just like an idol singer.)
Hello.
Let's Go Video Trip.
Let's go.
All right. She seems to be a little hyper.
She is a bit overexcited.
The scriptwriters have asked too much of her.
- Okay. Gu Ra, what did you think? - Yes.
Before talking about their stage, both of their names are...
- the titles of MBC TV shows. - That's right.
To be exact, one is the show of a cable network.
- It's MBC every1. - Yes.
The other one is from an outsourcing production company but aired on MBC.
- All right. - It's outsourcing production.
They have one thing in common.
They're the titles of long-running TV shows from the past.
Anyhow, I'm sure everyone here would agree on this.
Weekly Idol isn't an idol singer.
- Everyone knows. - Is that right?
I'm certain that he got his underarm hair waxed for the first time.
- It's so clean. - Yes.
- That's true. - I'm sure he's never done it.
- Do you think so? - Yes.
What were the charms of his voice?
Let's hear Jang Hyuk's opinion first.
First of all, Weekly Idol is...
someone who practised singing a lot in the past.
I'm sure he sang a lot.
Also, I think it's been a long time since he sang a song...
- on a stage like this. - Right.
I don't think he's interested in winning.
- He doesn't care if he wins. - Right. He is not interested.
- He just likes to dance and sing. - Yes.
- You think he is a pleasant man. - He enjoyed his stage. Yes.
- This stage. - Yes. Also,
I think practising with Video made him realise that...
- Go on. - he is going to lose.
You mean he gave up already.
- You think he knew he will lose. - Yes.
Let me ask him. Did you give up on...
moving on to the next round?
(Did he really give up hopes for winning?)
No. I'm here to meet the King of Mask Singer.
He says he is here to meet the King of Mask Singer.
His answer shows that he is...
- an entertainer. - Go to his waiting room then.
- His waiting room? - You can meet him there.
He says you should go to his waiting room.
You can meet him whenever you want.
Of course. He can just visit his waiting room.
- I think Video is... - Yes.
someone who is still using her vocal cords for singing.
You think she is still performing...
- as a singer. - I think she still performs.
When she sang the first verse,
she had to sing it in a very low-pitched voice.
It shows that she is a confident singer.
She knew she can show us how well she sings in the second verse.
- I see. - With only the second verse,
she revealed that she is a professional singer.
As I listened to her singing, I pictured...
the ivy creeping up a concrete wall.
- It clings to the wall. - It clings. That's right.
Her voice feels as if...
it's adhesive and clinging.
As for Weekly Idol, he showed off his arm muscles.
That's what someone in my age would do.
- In your age means... - Because...
only a middle-aged man would show off his muscles.
- He's right. If he was young, - Yes?
he wouldn't have bragged it.
I was surprised at what Young Seok said.
He wrote that one of his talents is...
press-ups.
(One of his talents is press-ups.)
He also wrote he can do clap press-ups.
(He can also do clap press-ups.)
That's what they used to do on TV a long time ago.
- He can do many kinds of press-ups. - It's a very old-fashioned skill.
All right. Apparently, young people don't brag their muscles, but he...
He's clapping. Great. Two,
three, four,
five, six.
Six. He can't do any more.
He did six clap press-ups.
- Good job. - Excuse me.
I think he has a bad hip joint.
- He's patting on it. - I know.
What is it?
(He seems to have something he wants to say.)
Do you want me to hop on your back?
You couldn't even do many press-ups.
(Lie down.)
Do you want me to lie down on my back?
On my back? Like this?
- It must be scary to do that. - Like this?
- It should be fun. - What?
(Anxious)
(Are they going to be okay?)
Please take over for me.
Go ahead and lie down. Let us see it.
(He lies down.)
All right. That looks good.
Good.
All right. That looks good.
(He is trembling like a leaf in the wind.)
Great. You're doing great.
(He is the one who is doing the work.)
Good.
(Why does he look more strained?)
You're doing great.
That was good.
(He falls off.)
That was good.
Good job.
It was a great finale.
You're good.
You're good. Gosh.
- He was very stable. - It was a great finale.
He was quite stable.
He may really be an idol singer.
(Could Weekly Idol really be an idol singer?)
- Okay. Kang Nam. - Yes.
Do you think Weekly Idol is an idol singer?
He is an old man.
- You think he is Weekly Old Man. - Yes. He must be old.
His dancing was old-fashioned.
- That's why... - His dancing.
I think he is an old man.
(He is definitely an old man.)
Then what does the dance of an idol singer look like, Kang Nam?
- The dance of an idol singer. - He doesn't know that.
- He is not an idol singer, either. - I...
I am quite a good dancer.
What does an idol singer's dance look like?
I'll show you.
(Hopping)
You look like an old man yourself.
- What was that? - Yoo A.
- Yoo A, please show us. - Show us, Yoo A.
(The real idol singer Yoo A will show us.)
Yoo A the dancing queen.
Male idol singers would dance...
(Powerful)
(She dances powerfully.)
That's how they do it.
- That's how you should do it. - This is the one.
- But... - It looks different.
- Can you dance like that? - It should be...
It should be groovy.
I see. Like that.
It should be groovy.
(I sure can do that.)
That's how you should dance.
(He dances differently.)
Video, let's see your dance.
- I bet she is a great dancer. - Let's see your dance.
(Expectant)
(Like this?)
(She is pretty flexible.)
- She is dancing poorly on purpose. - She is dancing poorly on purpose.
She is a good dancer.
(You cannot fool us.)
- She is a good dancer. - Excuse me.
You cannot fool us.
- I figured out her identity. - Really?
She is related to Mount Umyeon.
- Mount Umyeon? - Yes, Mount Umyeon.
Is she someone who likes hiking?
I believe...
- she has studied there. - She has studied there.
- Yes. - She trained in the mountain.
No, there are...
- many schools in the area. - I see.
That's right.
- I don't have a clue. - Where is Mount Umyeon?
- What are you talking about? - Do I need to study real estate?
- I don't understand you. - I can't tell you everything.
- He can't tell you everything. - There are schools by the mountain.
She went to a school by Mount Umyeon.
That's right. There are a few schools there...
including Korea National University of Arts.
Korea National University of Arts is in the area.
- She went to an art school. - That's right.
I see.
I have received an offer.
Weekly Idol will show us...
the dance of an idol group.
(He will show a legitimate dance.)
Give us the music.
(I will show you how idols dance.)
How cute!
(Here I go.)
He is cute.
(Cute)
(Don't I recreate the dance perfectly?)
How cute!
(Throwing)
(Bong Sun pulls him towards her.)
(He quickly withdraws his rope.)
(He calms his heart and begins to dance again.)
(What is Seong Ju doing?)
(Dancing hard)
Why is Seong Ju so good at it?
(He is absorbed in his dance.)
(He flexes his muscles.)
That was perfect.
Just perfect.
I have an idea of who he might be.
The way he sings and dances tells us that he is a singer.
I think he is a member of the first generation idol group.
There is such idol group that is back on the scene.
I think he is Lee Seung Kwang of Goofy.
(He is from the first generation dance group.)
(He has a pretty face and a muscular body.)
-Lee Seung Kwang? - The thing is,
- his muscles are bigger. - He is very big.
- His muscles are bigger. - Really?
We are beginning to get names.
Like Bong Sun said,
I believe Weekly Idol was in a first generation idol group.
He must be a member of Sechs Kies, which made a comeback.
Sechs Kies? Which member?
(Sechs Kies)
Lee Jae Jin.
(He is a man with muscular arms who loves his niece.)
(He was a member of the first generation idol group.)
- Lee Jae Jin? - Weekly Idol is muscular.
- Lee Jae Jin is a rapper. - Right.
You think he is a member of groups such as Sechs Kies or H.O.T.
- I think he is a senior singer. - A senior singer.
It's time to reveal the result of the first match of Round One.
I will announce the winner who will move on...
to Round Two.
(His shout sounded like a plea.)
(Weekly Idol's voice was enchanting and sorrowful.)
(She has a strong and fascinating nasal voice.)
(Video sang soulfully.)
Who is the winner of this match?
The winner is...
Who is it?
(What is the result everyone is waiting for?)
The winner...
who will move on to Round Two is...
Let's Go Video Travel.
(Let's Go Video Travel!)
That's great!
(The panellists' reactions are mixed as always.)
With a final score of 72 to 27,
Let's Go Video Travel beat Weekly Idol...
and moved on to Round Two.
Congratulate her with a round of applause.
(Weekly Idol's identity will be revealed right away.)
I don't usually get so nervous on stage.
My goodness, it was...
nerve-wracking.
That doesn't usually happen.
I will give a good performance in Round Two. Wish me luck.
(Good luck on Round Two.)
Do you feel sad or upset that you have lost?
No, I don't. I had fun today.
I often watch King of Mask Singer,
so meeting many nice people on the show...
will leave me with nice memories.
I see. Let's listen to the song he has prepared for Round Two...
and check out his identity.
Give him a big round of applause.
(Is Weekly Idol really an idol singer?)
I don't think Weekly Idol is an idol singer.
I think he is a singer who mostly appears in variety shows now.
- He is around my age. - He is an old man.
I think he is a member of the first generation idol group.
I think he is Lee Seung Kwang of Goofy.
- Lee Jae Jin. - Lee Jae Jin?
("One Love" by Park Sang Min)
(He delivers the lyrics as if he is reciting them.)
(I got goosebumps.)
(He conveys delicate emotions with his breaths.)
(He is a singer.)
(His voice surprised the panellists.)
Weekly Idol, please take off your mask...
and reveal your identity.
(Who could he be?)
He is...
(Screaming)
The audience is surprised. Who is he?
Who is he?
Why are people surprised?
He is...
a singer with 23 years of experience, Sung Jin Woo.
(Exclaiming)
(It's Sung Jin Woo!)
(That was so unexpected!)
I told you he is around my age.
(23 years have passed since his debut,)
(but his voice with unrefined charms still captivates women's hearts.)
It's great to see him.
(Since he rarely appears on television,)
(everyone is glad to see him.)
(He is a manly man who knows the pain of deep sorrow.)
("One Love" by Sung Jin Woo)
(He debuted with "Don't Give Up" in 1994.)
(His song and his performance were charismatic.)
(With his signature husky voice,)
(he captivated every woman's heart.)
The Newcomer Award goes to...
Sung Jin Woo of "Don't Give Up".
Congratulations.
(He now works as a trot singer.)
(Sung Jin Woo will forever be every girl's heartthrob.)
Everyone loved "Don't Give Up".
Sung Jin woo is the singer of the song.
- I heard that... - Yes?
you made a special request to the production staff...
to give you a mask with a theme of an idol singer.
That was your request.
- He must have been confident. - I heard it was your suggestion.
In fact,
I don't have any experience of...
enjoying my performance freely on the stage.
My agency always wanted me...
to look charismatic on the stage.
And I had to wear sunglasses all the time.
It was very fun to play freely in a mask on the stage.
(He looks innocent smiling.)
I see. You did look like...
an idol singer in the mask.
Some of the panellists even guessed that...
you used to be an idol singer.
He still has a nice build.
And I think he is being more like Tae Jin A.
He looks like Tae Jin A when he smiles.
He looks like Tae Jin A even more than Eru, his own son.
(Jang Hyuk agrees with him.)
- Don't you think? - In fact, I look better than him.
(In fact, I look better than him.)
He wants to make it clear.
When I decided to appear in this programme,
I was worried if some people would say I was not a singer.
It was the last thing I wanted to hear.
Jang Hyuk thought I didn't have...
much experience of singing.
- Right. He said that. - Yes. He said that.
I was glad to hear that.
- I see. - You must be stimulated.
- Right. - You may want to work harder.
I said earlier that he knows how to express...
his emotion and sensitivity with his breath.
- Did you forget that? - Okay. Thank you.
- He said that, too. - He said good things, too.
I guess it was because...
he tried hard to hide his real voice.
He is well known...
for his husky voice.
I apologise for my comments that you may not have sung for a long time.
You didn't know who he was.
Now I'm working as a trot singer.
So you've been working as a singer so far.
In fact, I haven't taken a day off.
- Really? - Yes.
I've been to Pohang, Ulsan, Gyeongju,
Gunsan, Jeonju and so on.
I barely take the day off.
But it is not easy to appear on TV as a trot singer.
- There aren't many programmes. - That's right.
So I just wanted to be here...
to tell people that I'm still active as a trot singer.
Can I say something to him?
I rarely make an official comment with the microphone.
But if you watch me on TV,
you will see me speaking to myself a lot.
I said to myself that you were a singer earlier.
I'm sure he is a singer.
I kept talking to myself that you were a singer.
As long as you don't give up singing,
I believe music won't give you up, either.
(We look forward to hearing your great songs more often.)
He's not just a once popular singer.
He is leading an active life as a trot singer now.
He is working hard to expand his field.
I'm glad that we could see him again today.
- Please give him a warm hand. - Thank you.
(We will support your passion for music.)
Sung Jin Woo!
(He looks relieved.)
(He's playful.)
I have mixed feelings.
I want to try one more time.
People use many words to describe me such as...
I'm charismatic and not easily approachable.
I've heard of it a lot.
But I don't think it is true.
I don't want to look like that any more.
I want people to feel happy and comfortable...
around me.
I will try harder to be like that.
I want you to love trot songs more.
I will work harder for my career.
Thank you.
In Round One,
Let's Go Video Travel beat Sung Jin Woo...
and moved on to Round Two.
Let's continue Round One...
with the second match.
(The second match of Round One)
The second match of Round One.
With her irresistible charms,
she captivates all men and women's hearts.
Seductive Femme Fatale.
(Seductive Femme Fatale)
Come and fall for my seductive femme fatale.
(She is seductively elegant.)
(Flipping)
- She looks clumsy. - She is cute.
Her opponent is...
a woman with a strong voice...
who seems to have gone through many hardships so far.
Dangerous Outside Come Back Home.
(Dangerous Outside Come Back Home)
You must come back home Come back to me
(The throne will come to me.)
- Isn't she Song Eun Yi? - Maybe she is Song Eun Yi.
She looks like Song Eun Yi.
(There are two masked singers with different styles.)
There are two female singers with completely different styles.
The woman on the left tried to cover her body.
Is she an idol singer?
I guess she tried to look young and she is young.
(The two masked singers look extraordinary.)
(They are getting everyone's attention.)
(What kind of charms...)
(will the two masked singers show?)
("Saturday Night" by Son Dam Bi)
(Humming)
(Getting goosebumps)
(Femme Fatale has a sweet but husky voice.)
(Coma Back Home has a clear and innocent voice.)
(These two singers have different tones of voice.)
(Femme Fatale's voice sounds dreamlike and sensitive.)
(Come Back Home also has a very attractive voice.)
(She sings with a captivating voice.)
(Let's have a party on Saturday night!)
(Come Back Home's sophisticated sensitivity...)
(and Femme Fatale's charisma...)
(make their performance even more impressive.)
They are so good! They are unbelievable.
They make me go crazy.
(They express a heart-rending sorrow...)
(of a woman who misses her old lover.)
(Their performance looks sad, but fascinating.)
(This is not just a competition.)
(They're captivating people's hearts with their beautiful harmony.)
(This is amazing.)
(These two masked singers have unlimited charms.)
(The song "Saturday Night" sounds passionate and sad.)
(They've fallen in love with their voices.)
(They are so good.)
(It is amazing!)
They are great.
- Encore! - Can we do that?
I just loved it so much.
The second match of First Round is just ended.
Young Seok, how would you describe their performance?
Since I joined this programme,
my standards for a good singer has been raised.
So I barely feel moved...
by listening to a song.
But they just raised my standards...
for a good singer even higher today.
They raised it even higher.
(You are the best.)
When we sing,
feeling is more important than techniques.
Femme Fatale showed...
her feelings with...
her great techniques.
- I see. - She is a great singer...
who has good feelings and techniques.
I want to see her again in Rofour.
(What?)
Did he say that he wants to live?
- Oh, Round Four. - I meant that...
I want to see her performance again in Round Four.
What is "Rofour"?
You shortened the word too much. What is "Rofour?"
I was surprised since I thought you said you wanted to live with her.
- I was frightened, too. - Me, too.
- You wanted to see Round Four. - Of course.
Okay. You want to see her make it to Round Three...
and become a king.
Come Back Home has a voice...
that is very stable, calm...
and comes from a solid ground.
I personally think...
- that her rival is way too strong. - Right.
- Don't be so rash. - You don't know the result yet.
- Of course. - Of course.
Why would you sabotage the show?
(Why would you sabotage the show?)
Especially when she's done a great job.
She has. I'll ask you straightforwardly again.
Young Seok, you think that one of them...
has what it takes to be the king.
If one of them sings solo,
the stage will be 7 to 8 times more moving.
- I see. So, you expect more. - Yes.
What do you think, Hyun Chul?
The words I associate with Femme Fatale are...
- composure, - Composure.
- confidence, - Confidence.
- energy... - Energy.
- and hugeness. - I see.
On the other hand, for Come Back Home,
- I think of words like nicety... - Nicety.
- and technique. - Technique.
Her voice makes me think that she's been through...
- lots of audition shows. - Right.
- It's hugeness versus personality. - Okay.
- Two voices have different colours. - Alright.
- But I... - Yes.
don't agree with Hyun Chul.
(I don't agree with Hyun Chul.)
- I don't think Come Back Home... - Come Back Home.
made debut from audition shows.
I think she's an idol.
- Just an idol. - You think that...
she didn't go through auditions but was a trainee.
Femme Fatale is like...
a beautiful painting...
fully drawn on a paper,
while Come Back Home has a lot more to be painted.
I thought that Come Back Home is an idol...
because of her distinctive singing method.
Did you say her singing style?
She pronounces every word very precisely.
Many people sing "on Friday night" like this,
whereas she sings "on, Friday, day".
- She sings precisely and clearly. - Pronouncing every word.
(On, Friday, Day)
- She must have got singing lessons. - Right, right.
She's nodding but I'm not sure.
(Is she an idol who's got vocal lessons?)
Femme Fatale has sung...
a lot of R&B and ballad songs.
And when she sings,
she mixes falsetto and breathing.
It's very difficult...
to breathe while singing like that.
Right, right.
On Friday night
(She mixes falsetto with breathing.)
- She's a huge singer... - Right.
and I'm looking forward to her song in Round Two.
- It was nice to hear you sing. - Okay.
Young Seok said something about...
- Round Four. - Round Four.
While he thinks of Round four, I thought that...
one of these two against Video would make...
- fantastic Round Two next week. - Right.
That's what I was thinking.
Could you write this for the trailer?
This on the trailer for the next show will be nice.
- Come on. - You care about the trailer.
- I'd really appreciate that. - Alright.
"It is going to be huge,"
- "so don't miss the show." - "Can't wait to watch the show".
Okay, it's a wrap.
- We'll use this shot. - Wait a minute.
- Let's see. - Can I make an appearance?
- Okay. - Is it birth of a female king?
Cut, it's terrific.
We'll use this shot, too. Thank you.
Excuse me,
you have to exaggerate more.
- A bit more. - Of course.
Those who want to appear for the trailer,
- please add a bit exaggeration... - Of course.
- when you speak. - I can't wait till next week.
Come on, act your lines out.
Shall we go again, Bong Sun?
- With more action this time. - Gosh,
I think that there's going to be the first female king in a long time.
- We can't use this. - Come on.
That was awkward.
I'll go learn about acting.
- I'm so sorry. - That was really awkward.
Try to mix some of your old fad words.
This female king is...
so going to happen.
Right, well done.
That's how it's done.
Okay, good. We'll use this footage.
Thank you two for caring about the trailer of the show.
(That's why we prepared this.)
Who will be the winner of...
(It's a brutal war among singers.)
I can't wait to watch next week's show.
The result is such a close run.
The winner is...
This female king is...
so going to happen.
How did you like their stage, San Deul?
It was such a great stage.
I was so happy to hear their song.
As I saw their stage,
I thought there's difference in their years of experience.
I think Come Back Home is my junior,
- So, she's an idol. - who made debut after 2010.
She's an idol who made debut through an audition programme.
Aren't two Baeks becoming famous lately?
- The two Baeks. - I guess so, too.
- The two Baeks. - She could be from JYP.
- Who are two Baeks? - Baek Ye Rin and Baek A Yeon.
Baek Ye Rin and Baek A Yeon.
(Baek Ye Rin has a deeply emotional voice.)
(Baek A Yeon has a clear voice.)
I think so, too.
- Both of you agree on some points. - We do.
- Right. - Okay.
I think Femme Fatale has made debut before 2010.
I also think that she's hiding her real voice...
because she sings so well,
and yet we don't recognise her right away.
She practised to alter her voice.
She's a singer whose real voice...
- we'd know right away. - Yes, exactly.
She totally sounds senior.
- Total senior. - Total senior.
- How totally senior is she?
About 42 years old.
His guess is so detailed.
Her voice and expression sound very senior.
- Kang Nam thinks she's 42. - Before,
two bars before Come Back Home started to sing,
Femme Fatale pointed at her.
She pointed at Come Back Home...
- as if to say "Listen to her." - I saw that, too.
She's a lot more experienced than Come Back Home.
- A lot. - How a lot is a lot?
How old do you think she is?
She is 42 years old.
By "a lot", you mean 42 years old.
I agree with Kang Nam.
- You do, don't you? - I think she's 40s.
- Don't say Song Eun Yi again. - When the singers come in,
at least the singers of 30s...
come closer and shake hands.
But Madam,
- She called her madam. - you didn't...
take even a step...
- and just stretched out your hand. - Right.
- Right, she did. - Right.
(She didn't move and just stretched out a hand to shake.)
This gesture makes me think she's at least in her middle 40s.
- Okay. - Also,
her name is Dangerous Outside Come Back Home for some reason.
She may be an idol who's recently left her agency.
Oh, you are keen.
- Also, - You got a hint from her name.
she took care of Come Back Home,
so she can be a former boss of her agency.
She wants Come Back Home back.
- She's a boss. - That's a bit of a stretch.
- She cares for her. - That's a bit of a stretch.
Is that a stretch?
Her being out of agency was fine.
It was a nice guess, right?
- She can't be... - Who is it?
from 2NE1.
- Kong Min Zy? - No, but I...
There's a song named Come Back Home.
- guess only that much. - Is she Yang Hyun Suk, then?
Anyway, you think that she's an idol...
who's left her agency.
(Kong Min Zy of 2NE1...)
(has left her agency after dropping out from the team.)
- That sounds probable. - So, she can be Kong Min Zy.
- Yes. - Okay.
Are the names of the singer and the masks connected?
Kim Ki Lee has made an acute guess.
Bong Sun said that Femme Fatale is quite old...
based on her motionless gesture.
She didn't even budge.
I'll show you Femme Fatale's motion.
It's an opportunity to guess her age.
It's a comic dance...
named "Shall I Go or Not?".
She doesn't want to go because she doesn't want to move.
- You go when you should go. - You are being stubborn.
- You are being absurd. - Okay.
Play the music, please.
(Shall I move forward or not?)
(She's cute.)
That looks difficult.
(Shall I move forward or not?)
Her beat is very precise.
She doesn't miss a beat. Now, she faces front.
(Front to back, left to right.)
(Shall I go or not?)
(Only her upper body is moving.)
We'll stop here.
(She stayed motionless the whole time.)
- Her motion isn't... - She didn't move a step...
- Her motion isn't... - while dancing.
so big.
We'll now see Come Back Home's dance.
She can perform a sexy dance...
to any music we play.
- She's an idol, for sure. - She's the first person...
who wrote this as a speciality.
- She's definitely an idol. - Right.
Can you really dance to any music?
Yes.
- We'll play random songs, then. - Okay.
Okay, then.
She's very easy-going.
Play any music, please.
(It's "Tadpole Song".)
She'll show us a sexy dance.
(Can she perform sexy dance to a children's song?)
(She dances...)
(in a very sexy way.)
Oh, gosh.
Oh, gosh. She's performing sexy dance to "Tadpole Song".
It's bad for kindergarten children.
Oh, gosh.
(A children's song meets sexy dance.)
Okay. Gosh.
(Bravo.)
What did you do with a children's song?
- Young Seok woke up. - She's good.
- This is a children's song. - She's good.
She did well.
So much for a children's song.
Now, stay alert.
Play one more music, please.
(It's a Korean traditional music tune.)
(Sexy dance to a traditional folk song?)
- It must be hard. - Try and dance to this music.
Try it.
You can do it.
(She shows a sexy move.)
(Everyone automatically stands up.)
(The music is not important.)
(I can do a sexy dance.)
My goodness.
(Male panellists fall for her foxiness.)
This singer has sexual charms all over her body.
Oh my goodness.
(She set everything on fire with her sexual charms.)
She's amazing.
Jang Hyuk is standing up.
And Yoon Seok is standing up.
They are standing up one by one.
It's first time for Jang Hyuk to stand up today.
Yes, Jang Hyuk stood up for the first time.
Isn't she amazing to be able to dance like this?
(Come Back Home's sexual charms are overflowing.)
She can do sexy dances to every kind of music.
I thought she is young,
- but I don't think so any more. - Right.
If she's young and can dance like that,
it means she's cheeky.
(She's cheeky.)
Otherwise she cannot dance like that.
- Could you refine your words? - You shouldn't talk like that.
Otherwise she cannot dance like that.
Now I get it.
I guess she might be a main vocalist in a girl group.
- The way she moves... - So who do you think she is?
I have no idea.
Let's try and guess who she is together.
I think she originally sings...
the songs that have nothing to do with a sexy dance.
- But she dances so well. - She does.
- She seems to be used to dancing. - Wait. Hold on.
- Let's just see the result. - All right.
- Let's see the result. - Shall we?
You have no idea. What's all the fuss?
Thank you for putting everything in order.
Let's see the result for the second match of Round One.
The more you listen, the more you love their voice.
Of these two attractive female vocalists...
who touched your heart more strongly?
Let's see the winner of this match!
(Let's see the winner of this match.)
(Alluring groove is alive...)
(in Come Back Home's sexy and husky voice.)
(A deep soul is expressed...)
(in Femme Fatale's powerful voice.)
Who will win this match and move on to the next round?
The winner is...
(It was a close match between two amazing vocalists...)
(with different kinds of charms.)
(Who's the winner?)
Who is it?
Between Femme Fatale and Come Back Home,
who's the winner of this match?
Femme Fatale wins.
(Femme Fatale is the winner!)
- Yes! - I knew it.
(Male panellists cheer for her.)
(A mixture of feelings pass through the panellists.)
Come Back Home was pretty.
As expected.
Femme Fatale is the winner.
She beat Come Back Home...
with the score of 78 versus 21.
Femme Fatale became the winner with quite a large margin.
Congratulations. Please go to your waiting room.
Please give her a round of applause.
(Next, Come Back Home will reveal her surprising identity.)
Congratulations.
Thank you.
She has a petite figure...
and an attractive voice.
Who could she be?
Let's see her solo performance she prepared for the next round,
and check out who she is.
Please give her a big round of applause.
Her voice is very unique.
(Is she a unique vocalist?)
I think she is an idol singer.
I think she debuted after me.
She must be Baek Ye Rin or Baek A Yeon.
- I think she's Gong Min Zy. - Gong Min Zy.
("Daring Woman" by Suh Joo Kyung)
What's that?
Is she a trot singer?
(Surprised)
(Everyone is familiar with the song.)
(She gets ready with the song's enchanting rhythm.)
One, two, three, go!
(Her clear high-pitched voice fits well with the trot song.)
- Aren't you - Aren't you
(She's totally different from the previous match.)
(She has a lilting voice.)
(Everyone's gradually attracted...)
(to Come Back Home's voice.)
(Her nasal voice is seductive,)
(and her moves are full of charms.)
(Her pert charm...)
(seduces the audience.)
(Before anyone knows,)
(the audience...)
(are possessed by her performance.)
(Come Back Home has such various charms.)
(Everyone sings with her.)
(She took everyone's heart.)
(Come Back Home is a singer with an amazing charm.)
Now, Dangerous Outside Come Back Home,
please take off your mask and show us who you are!
She is...
Why, why?
They are surprised. Who is she?
She must be an idol singer.
She is...
She is Exy, a rapper of a rookie girl group WJSN.
(Exy!)
(Everyone's stunned.)
(No one guessed her right.)
She was on this show before.
(She made her debut as WJSN, a Korean-Chinese girl group.)
(She's the leader of 12 members...)
(and the only rapper in the group.)
She must be Mina, who used to be popular before.
(She was in King of Mask Singer as a panellist.)
She's Exy!
(I like her.)
(After taking off her mask,)
(she seems more relaxed singing on the stage.)
(Her song is very expressive.)
She's a rapper, isn't she?
She's a good singer.
(She shows off her singing ability she hasn't shown so far.)
(She's going all out.)
(Everyone is excited.)
(Hidden behind her identity as a rapper...)
(is a 22-year-old girl who sure can sing a trot song.)
(She's a skilled singer although she's an idol rapper.)
(She took everyone's heart.)
(Daring woman Exy shows a wonderful performance.)
(The applause continues.)
- I knew she was a hip-hop singer. - You were right.
You got it right that she's a hip-hop singer.
Come Back Home's identity is revealed.
She's a rapper in WJSN,
- Exy. - Hello,
I'm Exy of WJSN, a 12-member, Korean-Chinese girl group.
- She was one of our panellists. - She was sitting here.
- That's right. - Right.
Exy was one of our panellists.
In your group...
- you're in charge of rapping. - Right.
- But you're a good singer too. - Thank you.
I was a vocalist before I started to rap.
(Exy was a vocalist before she became a rapper.)
Then I got a vocal cord nodule and I was losing my voice.
So I decided to find another way, and that's why I began rapping.
But after I made a debut and saw others sing on music shows...
I thought, only if my voice was all right...
I could have sung on the stage as well.
That's why I decided to challenge myself on this show.
I see.
(She challenged for the King of Mask Singer from her regret for singing.)
But if you treat your voice...
and keep trying, all those pains...
pile up and make an impressive sound.
Why don't you take some pear juice or propolis?
- Or such things. - And take care of her health, too.
- You should sleep well, too. - Along with rapping,
keep dancing, too.
(You should keep dancing.)
- Your dance was amazing. - I'm serious.
It was awesome.
- Having mentioned that, - Yes.
since we've seen you singing and dancing,
why don't you show us you rap?
(It's time to see her rap.)
Please show us.
(She starts rapping briskly.)
Why don't you look into my eyes when I'm rapping in front of you
I'll collect my memories from when I was young
and will go down smiling
All right!
(She's awesome.)
(She's so good.)
She showed her vocal charms we didn't expect,
and made her group WJSN known to everyone.
It was Exy here with us today.
Please giver her a round of applause.
- Thank you. - Thank you for your work.
(We root for her future endeavours.)
(Well done.)
Seductive Femme Fatale beat Exy of WJSN,
and moves on to the Round Two.
After the show, the netizens' online mobile survey...
for this week's King of Mask Singer will proceed.
We look forward for your participation.
Round One is matches of a duet performance.
Let's see the third match.
(The third match begins now.)
The third match of Round One!
He's here to melt all the ladies' hearts with his sweet voice.
Romantic Black Knight!
(Romantic Black Knight)
I've been waiting wholeheartedly for your decision.
(Giddy up!)
(He's on a horse!)
- He must be a comedian. - That's an ancient comedy property.
- Shim Hyung Rae used to use it. - He's definitely a comedian.
Let's meet his opponent.
Her charming voice will keep you cool like the ocean waves.
Let's go away, Beach Lady!
(Beach Lady)
My singing will refresh your mind and soul like the ocean!
(Gosh, it's so hot!)
(Male panellists cheer excitedly.)
(Hello, boys!)
- Oh, my. She looks elegant. - This is exciting!
Men are so weird. You guys think she's pretty even with the mask.
Even just the way she walks looks pretty.
(Both of them definitely arrested all the panellists' attention.)
(Please accept this flower.)
(Gosh, why did you have to do that?)
(Tossing)
(How dare you toss my flower like that?)
(Oh, no.)
(Laughing)
(The gown comes off.)
Both of them are visually striking.
My eyes are enjoying this sight right now.
- The suit fits him like a glove. - He looks pretty buff and toned.
- Both of them look stunning. - They'd make a gorgeous couple.
(Both of them make our hearts flutter.)
(What kind of performance will they show us?)
("Smile Boy" by Lee Seung Gi and Kim Yun A)
(Her voice refreshes and lifts up our mood.)
(Her happy energy purifies and energises us.)
(Her voice gives us courage.)
(Beach Lady is filling the stage with her optimistic energy.)
(The romantic baritone voice that wakes up our hearts)
(We can feel the power in Black Knight's voice.)
(It makes us believe that we can do anything.)
(Black Knight's powerful voice gives us confidence.)
(Incredible)
(Who are they?)
(Beach Lady now sounds like a shy girl.)
(Black Knight's voice sounds even sweeter.)
(The two of them are emanating a harmonious energy together!)
(Their energetic and uplifting performance is...)
(making the panellists groove to the song.)
- Nice! - Their voices sound familiar.
(House Band)
(What a wonderful harmony!)
(The beautiful lady and the dashing gentleman...)
(sing in harmony to fill our hearts with happiness.)
(Their performance was as exciting and fun as an amusement park ride.)
(That was amazing!)
- They have such nice voices. - They look cute together.
(Everyone is delighted.)
- Who are they? - Are they a couple?
That was the third match of Round One.
Romantic Black Knight versus Beach Lady!
Cast your vote for the singer whose voice...
captivated you more.
The voting has now been completed.
Both of you should say hello to our viewers.
Black Knight, you should go first.
Hello. I'm Romantic Black Knight.
Yes. Welcome to the show.
He is a gentleman. That was Black Knight.
Hello. I am...
(Singing)
I'm Beach Lady!
Her outfit looks so summery.
She looks as if she's on the beach now.
It's a gorgeous outfit.
I'm curious to find out what the panellists thought of the match.
Jang Hyuk, could you tell us what you thought?
I'll start with Black Knight.
His breathing was very healthy.
It was powerful and energetic.
He sang an upbeat, rhythmical song in this match,
but I think that his singing style...
and voice would actually suit...
rock ballads very well.
I also noticed him shouting out of excitement while performing.
Dance singers...
rarely shout like that while performing.
- Right. - That's one thing that stood out.
I'm guessing that he let out that rock-style shout...
because he used to be in a band.
In addition, he kept looking at Beach Lady.
He actually turned around to look at her face to face.
Nevertheless, Beach Lady...
didn't really look at him at all.
- Right. I noticed that, too. - Yes.
She only turned around to look at him at the parts...
where they planned to do so and where they had to sing in harmony.
Black Knight kept looking at her throughout the song, though.
Every time he did that, she looked away.
She seems very sassy. You all saw her tossing the rose.
I think she's very sassy.
To be honest, I'm not sure about whether she is...
- a professional singer or not. - Really?
- Yes. This is the first time. - Jang Hyuk usually...
sounds very sure and convinced.
- I'm torn. - Jang Hyuk is not sure,
but this song was originally sung...
- by Lee Seung Gi and Kim Yun A. - That's right.
I don't think she would have chosen this song if she were...
a professional vocalist who is confident of her vocal skills.
This combination makes our hearts flutter the most.
I think he might be a singer and she might be an actress.
(A male vocalist and an actress?)
- A male vocalist and an actress. - Yes. However,
judging from her flamboyant gestures,
I don't think she is one of the top actresses.
I see. You don't think she's one of the top actresses.
- No. I don't think she plays leads. - I see.
I think she plays those femme fatale roles in weekend dramas.
Just kill me!
(The characters that every weekend drama has)
I'd much rather die!
No! Don't lie!
(The vicious female characters who always scream)
- Those characters that people hate. - Yes.
I think that she's someone who is used to...
such public criticism.
Her hair and style also support my argument.
Professional singers have to change their hairstyles...
quite drastically for every performance.
But I don't think she dyes her hair...
or does anything too drastic.
- She looks like an actress. - I see. You think she's an actress.
- That's what I think. - Yes.
San Deul and I talked about him earlier.
The only ones we know who look like that...
and can sing rock-style songs...
are Min or Jung.
- You mean Min Kyung Hoon? - Yes. Min Kyung Hoon...
- and Jung Yong Hwa. - Jung Yong Hwa.
Yes. I think he could be one of them.
Min and Jung... Yes, that's what I'm talking about.
That's exactly what I talked about earlier.
- She must like Min Kyung Hoon. - Even bad characters don't do that.
- She must like Min Kyung Hoon. - I guess so.
I want to tell you what the production team just told me.
Apparently, Beach Lady doesn't really...
- like Black Knight. - Why is that?
There's another male singer who will compete in the next match,
and she likes him.
(She likes another male singer.)
- Is that right? - That's why she didn't look at him.
- She's funny. - The fact...
that she actually expressed her personal feelings that way...
means there is a good chance...
- that she could be a comedienne. - Yes, you're right.
- Yes, she must be a comedienne. - Hold on.
- She seems very honest. - She's definitely a comedienne.
She must be a comedienne.
She clearly said that Black Knight isn't her style...
and that the other singer is her ideal type.
- Those are her words. - I felt our fate.
- Pardon me? - We're meant to be together.
- She's a comedienne! - She totally is.
- She sounded like a comedienne. - She did.
So Black Knight isn't your fate?
- Oh, wait! - I think I met my soul mate.
There's only one comedienne with a figure like that!
(Who is the comedienne...)
(whose slim figure makes her look like an actress?)
Hold on. Is she your ex-girlfriend?
What is the matter with him?
- "Your ex-girlfriend". - Oh, right.
His ex-girlfriend already competed in this show.
- Oh, did she? - Just a moment.
- I'm sorry. - She competed in the first episode.
- Is that right? - What's wrong with him?
If I think it's wrong, it means everyone disagrees.
Does it? I thought it was her. Everyone is laughing.
I'll give you another hint.
After wearing the mask, she claims that...
she is Gianna Jun.
- She must be a comedienne. - She is that kind of person.
Gianna Jun can... I mean I can...
- No, Gianna Jun can... - She's getting upset.
I mean Gianna Jun can be here on this show, right?
But you're not her.
She must be...
- an alien like her drama. - She must be a comedienne.
If not comedienne,
she must have little experience being on variety shows.
- She says whatever she wants. - Right.
The way I see it, she is quite old.
- You think she is old. - Yes.
Every gesture she takes while singing...
(Moving his hand up and down)
looked like this.
This kind of gesture...
resembles Shin Hyung Won's.
(Her strong hand gestures are very distinctive.)
(She is the famous singer of "Firefly".)
Shin Hyung Won.
- She laughed because she knows her. - Excuse me.
- Shin Hyung Won who sang "Firefly". - That mountain
- She knows her. - She laughed.
- Without any words - She knows her.
- Has lived for a thousand years - Has lived for a thousand years
Those were popular hand gestures of Shin Hyung Won.
Gosh. That was a long time ago.
Yes. Also, she moved her shoulders like this.
That was also a popular move of the 80s.
I hate you!
"I hate you."
- She is... - She must be an actress.
In regard to her identity,
you all think differently as she may be an actress or a comedienne.
I think I know who she is.
Yes, Go Eun.
- Do you really? - I really do.
- I feel confident. - Hold on.
- Hold on. Write down the name here. - All right.
- Here. - Gu Ra will decide if it's valid.
- He is the chief. - She never got it right.
- No way. - No.
- Hey. - Gosh. Come on!
Come on!
This is why I asked you to show me first.
- Goodness. - She can say it if she wants.
She thinks it's Ray Yang. My gosh.
Is it Ms A?
- It's Ray Yang. - Ray Yang.
It's not Ms A.
- I'm not saying Ms A or Ms B. - What are you talking about?
It's not Ms A.
Stop reading tabloid.
They call someone Ms A or Ms B in tabloid.
- "Ms A". - Is she Ms A?
- It's not Ms A or Ms B. - I thought it was her initial.
All right. It's Ray Yang.
Gosh. You're like a bunch of hyenas.
(Gosh. You're like a bunch of hyenas.)
She thinks it's Ray Yang. She is...
- I thought it was her. - Ray Yang is...
a trainer at the gym. She must be more muscular.
- Is that right? - Yes.
Anyway, I think Black Knight would be my type.
You think he is your type.
- Yes. - She is telling you to get him.
All right. I will get him if I can.
Gosh. He made a love heart with his fingers.
He's witty. He made a love heart.
- Yoo A. - Yes.
Whose performance did you think it was more fascinating?
I really love Black Knight's voice.
I think he took many women's hearts.
- I think he... - Yes?
took my heart, too.
Is that so?
Do you think he has had many girlfriends?
Yes. I want to be...
(Yes. I want to be...)
Do you want to be his girlfriend?
What on earth is she doing?
- Why? - We're having a discussion here.
She's not interested in guessing who they are.
- She likes him a lot. - I want to be his friend at least.
I think he is so attractive.
- I see. - Yes.
Great. In that case,
I'll let you hear their actual voices a little more.
Beach Lady will imitate the voice of...
Park Ji Yoon, the singer.
Let us hear it.
(Tell me where you are)
(She has a falsetto voice similar to Ji Yoon.)
(Is she Park Ji Yoon?)
That's it. Thank you.
If you keep going,
- they might figure it out. - I think she is a comedienne.
Isn't she Kim Jung Min?
- Kim Jung Min? - Wow.
I think she sounds a bit like Jung Min.
I think Beach Lady is...
- very easy-going and... - Yes.
she wouldn't spare herself on variety shows.
- Right. - There is someone worked hard...
- on TV shows who is now an actress. - Yes.
I think it's An Hye Kyeong.
- An Hye Kyeong. - Yes.
- She used to be a weather caster. - That's right.
(Would she be An Hye Kyeong, the former weather caster?)
- She is now an actress. - Yes.
- That's... - It gave you goosebumps, right?
(It gave you goosebumps, right?)
Only two of you are getting goosebumps.
- I got it right. - I'm sure she's right.
Now,
I'll let you hear Black Knight's actual voice.
He'll imitate Yang Hee Eun's voice. Keep it short, please.
Love
Forgive Baek Gu
(He's good.)
He mimicked her differently comparing to many other people.
I know. There is more. He will imitate one more person.
It's Kim Lim. She is also a female singer.
(Kim Lim has a dreamlike voice.)
(How would Black Knight imitate her voice?)
(He practises shortly.)
(Oh, my.)
(I'm all right these days)
(I'm all right now)
(It's hard to understand him.)
- That's it. - What did he just say?
- That was it. - Were they the right lyrics?
- He made them up, didn't he? - No.
- Were the lyrics correct? - He sang it correctly.
"I'm all right these days" He said the right lyrics.
Actually, he has a voice of a handsome man.
I think he is probably an idol singer.
It may be accurate because he is an idol singer himself.
To be specific, he must be the main vocalist.
- The main vocalist. - Yes.
It looks like he is an idol singer whose agency takes good care of him.
- His suit looks like... - Yes.
- something his agency provided. - It fits him perfectly.
- It really fits him well. - You think his agency got him that.
Yes. It looks like a tailored suit.
Maybe he is the famous celebrity of his agency.
Now, I will...
announce the result of the third match of Round One.
Between two masked singers who made a pleasant harmony,
who will be the winner? I will now reveal the winner of this match.
(The winner will be revealed now.)
(She has a cheerful voice that makes you happy.)
(Black Knight has a romantic voice.)
(With their powerful and energetic singing,)
(they showed a stage full of hope.)
Who will be the third masked singer to move on to Round Two?
The winner is...
- The winner is... - The winner is...
(The two masked singers showed a beautiful duet stage.)
(Who did the panellists choose?)
The winner that...
we will see again in Round Two is...
The winner is...
(Romantic Black Knight wins.)
Black Knight wins.
(Black Knight wins.)
That's right.
- Gosh. - I want to see who he is.
Black Knight beats Beach Lady and...
moves on to the next round.
The final score is 86 to 13.
- The final score is 86 to 13. - She got one of the lowest votes.
Yes. Black Knight got the most votes.
Congratulations. Please go back to your waiting room.
Black Knight moves on to the next round.
(Careful)
(Giggling)
I'm happy. I'm really happy,
but I'm so curious who Beach Lady is.
Who would it be?
Who would say she is not interested in me?
(She hurt my feelings.)
Gosh.
I'll ask you one thing before you take off your mask.
Aren't you afraid of taking off the mask?
(Well...)
All right.
That's right. It's time to face the fear.
Who would she be?
You'll see her solo performance that she prepared for the next round.
Let's check out her identity.
Please give her a big round of applause.
(Who could she be?)
I don't think she is a popular actress.
Maybe she plays a villain on a soap opera on weekends.
Frankly, I'm not sure if she is a professional singer or not.
Shin Hyung Won.
- She laughed because she knows her. - Excuse me.
I think it's An Hye Kyeong.
Isn't she Kim Jung Min?
("There Will Be No Goodbye" by Page)
(Surprised)
Is she a singer?
(She has a clear voice with stable breathing.)
(She has a beautiful voice.)
(She has put aside her mischievous side.)
(She sings each note...)
(carefully and seriously.)
(She must be a singer.)
(She has great sensitivity that touches your heart.)
Beach Lady, take off your mask...
(She sang with sincerity.)
and reveal your identity.
(Who could be this eccentric woman?)
She is...
(I recognise her.)
Could it be Da Som?
- What? - She is...
- Really? - Gu Ra might be right.
Reveal your identity.
She is...
(She is...)
a former member of Cleo and a queen of baseball, Kong Seo Young.
(She debuted with Cleo's fifth album.)
(She looked much younger 12 years ago.)
Who will be voted as an athlete people admire the most?
I cannot give you the answer right away.
They redeemed themselves with a match in Mokdong.
Heroes made 20 hits and scored 19 points.
I am Cho Sae Ho,
Hello, I am Kong Seo Young.
(No one guessed her identity.)
(The panellists failed completely in their deductions.)
Cleo.
(She was a member of Cleo.)
(She is pretty.)
(Instead of being eccentric and cheerful,)
(she closes her eyes and immerses herself in the song.)
(I didn't know she could sing so well.)
(She can sing very well.)
(She touched the audience's hearts with her sincere voice.)
(The panellists are still reeling from her identity.)
I was confused.
Your guess on her career came close.
We were played.
It was more confusing since she used to be a singer.
She is the queen of baseball who also works as an MC these days,
Kong Seo Young.
Please say hello to the viewers.
Hello, I am Kong Seo Young.
(It's good to see you.)
You have amazing singing skills.
I understand that you were a member of Kkleo.
- It's Cleo. - Cleo.
Cleo.
You sang on the stage after eight years of break.
It must have brought back memories.
To be honest,
there was someone...
I wanted to show my performance to.
I see.
My dad also dreamed of being a singer when he was young.
When I think about my dad,
a memory of him teaching me how to sing comes to mind.
He passed away when I was in primary school.
I doubt an opportunity like this would come again,
but I wanted my dad to watch me from the above and feel proud.
(Such a touching moment)
Young Seok, where do you think the charms...
of her voice lie?
Jang Hyuk said earlier that he really can't tell...
whether she is a singer or not.
His judgement was based on her voice and her immersion in the song.
When she sang,
she immersed herself in the song like a singer.
We could hear it.
That's right. I was very surprised.
I heard...
how she sang perfectly in tune.
I could tell that she sang from the depth of her heart.
That's why I couldn't gauge her correctly.
"Can an actress really sing that well?"
That's what I thought to myself.
- I see. - Thus, I didn't give an answer.
It has been a while since you sang,
but experts had concluded...
that you might be a singer.
It surprised me very much.
Through her performances on the show,
Kong Seo Young realised her dream...
of singing on the stage again.
Please give her a round of applause.
- Thank you for your hard work. - I hope you would continue to sing.
(We look forward to your future endeavours.)
I want to hide.
I will put this mask back on.
Wearing a mask makes you brave.
I loved the experience.
I really loved it.
I have never performed on the stage by myself.
Because this is a chance I have waited for,
I spent my time practising...
with a sense of desperation.
"I really wanted to sing back then."
That was the sentiment I wanted to...
deliver to the audience.
I hope they felt my sincerity.
Romantic Black Knight beat Kong Seo Young...
and moved on to Round Two.
This is the last match of Round One.
Whirr, whirr.
This is a singing robot that surpasses AlphaGo.
Artificial Intelligence Zzibba!
(Artificial Intelligence Zzibba)
Beep, I am Artificial Intelligence Zzibba.
Installation of artificial vocal chord is complete.
(Laughing)
(Cute)
(Zzibba is cute.)
How cute!
It has been many years since I saw Zzibba of "Robot Zzibba".
("Robot Zzibba" is a cartoon series from 1979.)
Opposing him...
is a golden man with a dazzling voice.
Beautiful Night Oscar!
(Beautiful Night Oscar)
(His entrance is grander than that of Leonardo DiCaprio.)
His mask is beautiful.
(He is wearing a handsome mask.)
(Women's interest is piqued.)
What a beautiful night!
His mask rivals that of King of Mask Singer.
- Seriously. - Right?
(His mask grabs the audience's attention.)
(His splendid outfit is eye-catching as well.)
- How cool! - Not many people can...
- pull off a suit like that. - I know.
He is like a model.
He is dressed impeccably.
(The two masked singers are exact opposites of each other.)
(What kind of performance will they show?)
("Prince of the Sea" by Park Myung Soo)
Is this "Prince of the Sea"?
("Prince of the Sea" by Park Myung Soo)
(It's a lively melody everyone remembers in the summer.)
(Zzibba shows a cute dance.)
(Oscar's dace is dignified.)
(Contrary to his cute looks, his voice is deep.)
(Who is he?)
(What?)
(He has a cute and refreshing voice.)
(I don't know who he is.)
(The atmosphere gets heated up.)
(Dancing)
(She stands up.)
(The exciting melody makes the panellists stand up.)
Saxophone!
All right!
(Everyone stands up.)
(Dancing)
(His melodious voice captures women's hearts.)
(Zzibba cannot stand still.)
(The atmosphere makes everyone dance.)
(Artificial Intelligence Zzibba makes people smile with his song.)
(Excited)
(Dancing)
(Beautiful Night Oscar has a sweet voice.)
(Acting cute)
(They are spreading happy energy all over the stage.)
(Oh my!)
(Shouting)
(Singing together)
(Laughing)
(Their cool voices wash away the summer heat.)
(It was an exciting performance of "Prince of the Sea".)
(Their performance was cool and refreshing.)
(That was stress-relieving.)
It was fun!
It was very impressive.
The fourth match of Round One has just finished.
The two masked singers showed a great performance.
The winner of this match...
will sing against Romantic Black Knight in Round Two.
All votes are in.
Please introduce yourselves to the viewers.
Hello.
I'm Artificial Intelligence Zzibba.
(I'm Artificial Intelligence Zzibba.)
Okay. You are a robot.
He is Artificial Intelligence Zzibba.
(Testing his microphone)
I'm Beautiful Night Oscar.
Okay. He is Oscar.
He's wearing a golden suit. It looks nice.
I have a question for Zzibba. Do you know Zzibba?
(Do you know Zzibba?)
Yes.
- Is it a cartoon character? - I'm not sure.
It must be from a classic cartoon.
Many people don't know the character.
"Robot Zzibba" was a famous cartoon.
Mr Shin Moon Soo made the character Zzibba.
He is a cartoonist who drew the character.
- I see. - People of my age know the cartoon.
- Yes, there was a cartoon. - It was aired in mid 1970s.
He exaggerated his tone when he started singing.
(He exaggerated his tone and gestures from the start.)
(Gu Ra sticks his chin out when he's not happy with something.)
I thought he would show us something before the song ended.
But he showed us nothing.
(But he showed us nothing.)
- That's right. - I wonder who he is.
- I'm very curious. - You thought he'd show something.
I thought he'd show us something.
He tried his best though.
Like Gu Ra just said, I thought there would be something powerful.
- And there was. - Was there?
He missed the beat...
at the end.
(He missed the beat.)
- You're right. - And he even sang a note...
one octave higher like this.
(The sea)
(His voice travels like a roller coaster.)
The sea
He showed that he could sing as he pleased.
- I see. That's what he showed. - Judging from the fact...
that he's wearing the Zzibba mask,
I think he is E Malyun, the cartoonist.
- E Malyun? I see. - That's right.
That's why he's wearing a cartoon character mask.
What about their performance? Hyun Chul, what do you think?
Zzibba...
shook his head the whole time...
- while he was singing. - He did.
(Shaking his head)
(Non-stop head banging)
I think he sang in karaoke shaking a tambourine a lot.
(He sang in karaoke shaking a tambourine a lot.)
I believe he is used to shaking his head...
and a tambourine a lot in karaoke.
He's like the life of the party.
He's been to more karaoke than anybody.
Meanwhile, Oscar has a sweet voice.
I think he is Lee Jang Woo.
- 015B. - He was a member of 015B.
(He was a guest singer of 015B.)
(He has an appealing sweet voice.)
He is a great singer with a sweet voice.
But did he catch people's eyes...
while he sang? I don't think so.
Of course Beautiful Night Oscar sang very well.
But Zzibba was the one who caught people's eyes.
(Maybe Hyun Chul is in love with Zzibba.)
(He can't stop laughing looking at Zzibba.)
(He favours Zzibba.)
Is that why you voted for him?
Yes, it is.
What?
(I can't believe you.)
He just did that.
We don't know who will win yet.
He's right. I'm not saying this for fun.
I would like to ask a questions directly.
- San Deul. - Yes?
Why did you vote for Zzibba?
(Why did you vote for Zzibba?)
Why did you do that?
- I just... - What was the reason?
(He hesitates.)
(Zzibba looks so bright and happy.)
What was the reason?
(Why did you vote for him, San Deul?)
- Why did you vote for Zzibba? - In fact,
when Zzibba sang...
he sounded like my father.
(Shocked)
(I don't care about rhythm or notes.)
(It's all about the groove.)
He sounded like my father.
- That sounds plausible. - He sounded familiar.
He wanted to hear Zzibba's voice again.
- It is acceptable. - That's why I voted for him.
- Okay. - I think...
they are the only people who voted to Zzibba.
(That's not true.)
(They raise their hand all of a sudden.)
Yoon Seok and Kang Nam.
They also voted for him.
- What? - We can't tell the result yet.
- It is unpredictable. - We don't know it yet.
- That's right. - We need to wait and see.
Then let's see what...
Zzibba is good at.
Three kinds of monsters.
- Monsters? - He can mimic a zombie,
Frankenstein and a ghost.
You should know that the ghost is drunk.
Is that right? Okay.
Start.
(Zombie)
He's a zombie.
And Frankenstein.
(Hesitant)
(Frankenstein)
(Kim Gu Ra...)
And a ghost. She is drunk.
A ghost.
(Ghost)
What is that?
(Giggling)
(It is so lame.)
I thought he would show us something special.
- I was very nervous. - I don't know what he's doing.
(They all feel bad for him.)
I was very nervous.
I thought he'd show something special, but he didn't.
Now it is...
time to see what Oscar is good at.
First, he says he can mimic a Tosa.
A Tosa?
No? Can't you mimic a Tosa?
Can you do that?
(Zzibba prepared a lot for this programme.)
Show us, Zzibba!
(Make people laugh this time!)
- Zzibba! - Go for it!
Zzibba will mimic a Tosa.
And Oscar will mimic a cute puppy.
Let's hear it. They will do it all at once.
(Barking)
(Growling)
(A Tosa versus a Chihuahua)
(The Chihuahua barks at the Tosa.)
(Barking)
(Go away!)
(Whining)
Okay. That's it. It was great.
He looks like a puppy. He is so slim.
I know.
He looks like a pet dog.
And Zzibba looks like a big fighting dog.
They did a good job mimicking the sound of dogs.
Now they will show us...
You can stop now.
(You can stop now.)
(Zzibba doesn't want to stop.)
Now,
Oscar will show us some dance moves.
It's called bouncing dance. Start the music.
(How would Beautiful Night Oscar dance?)
(Shake it!)
(Get ready.)
It's Uncle Tong's dance.
(It is the dance moves of Uncle Tong.)
(Unexpected series of retro moves)
(The dance moves that were popular back in the late 1990s.)
(Moving back and forth)
(Come here!)
(Dancing together)
(Oscar shows various dance moves that were popular in the past.)
(Now he shows the poppin dance.)
(Nimble)
(He is a great dancer.)
That's it. You may stop.
- He is a good dancer. - It was old-style dance move.
Now Zzibba will dance...
to "Like a Cat" of AOA.
(The point is the sexy dance moves that resemble a cat.)
(Can Zzibba dance to this song?)
Start the music.
(How would Zzibba's dance moves look?)
(Dancing cute)
(But he is getting out of step.)
(Now he just dances as he pleases.)
(Oh my gosh!)
(It looks totally different from the original one.)
He can't move his waist at all.
I think that is why it looks funny.
(He is trying hard.)
(He can't see or hear anything.)
That's it.
(Oh, no!)
- What is it? - Did something drop?
Something fell off his body.
What is it that fell from his body?
What are you two doing?
Nobody's curious about you.
Give me a break.
Come on, nobody wants to know.
Who cares what falls out of his body?
Are you done?
Now, thank you both.
I'll announce the result of the last match.
- Go Zzibba! - Go Zzibba!
Let's go Zzibba!
- Go Zzibba! - Zzibba is the winner.
- The match was... - Zzibba is the winner.
a close-run.
- Go for it! - Don't do that.
(Don't do that.)
Oh, really?
You'll be astonished...
- to see the result. - Come on.
- Zzibba! - Zzibba!
- Even Zzibba is surprised.
Come on, if Zzibba advances to the next round,
- Yes? - this show will be in trouble.
(The King of Mask Singer will be in big trouble.)
Does that even make sense?
Now, it was excitement versus feeling.
These two unique men have competed against each other.
I'll now announce the last singer to move on to Round Two.
Who'll be the winner?
(Zzibba is full of excitement and positive energy...)
(while Oscar has a mellow and refreshing voice.)
(The performance they gave was so cool...)
(that it felt as if we were on the beach.)
The last mask singer who'll advance to Round Two...
is the winner of this match.
The winner is...
No!
Go Oscar.
- Goodness. - Go Zzibba!
Zzibba has fans.
Let's go!
(Now that Zzibba is rising,)
(will a miracle happen?)
Who is the winner...
of the match between Zzibba and Oscar?
Who's the winner?
(Beautiful Night Oscar wins.)
Oscar is the winner.
- Oh, gosh. - Too bad.
- Come on, - Oh, no.
you surprised me.
(Zzibba's fans are devastated.)
- Oh, gosh. - He nearly had it.
Oscar is the winner.
The result was 65 to 34.
It was 65 to 34.
Wait, why is this a close-run?
This is a close-run.
- The margin is 30 votes. - It's close enough.
I was really worried.
- That wasn't very bad. - I'd say Zzibba almost had it.
Zzibba is surprised.
Personally, I think this was a massive close-run.
He's got the most votes among today's defeated singers.
Zzibba...
has got the most votes among today's defeated singers.
I'd say it's neck and neck.
He's the best among the defeated.
Oscar, please be quick...
and move to the waiting room, please.
Please give him a big hand.
He'll advance to the next round,
Round Two.
(Oscar calmly steps out of the stage.)
I was a bit worried,
but as we harmonised well together,
the stage was fun and exciting.
Who is the singer...
who shook all men's hearts?
Give him a big round of applause.
(Who could he be?)
He's been to more karaoke than anybody.
He sings like my father.
E Malyun is on the show today.
E Malyun. Oh, he's a cartoonist.
("How Fortunate" by S.Papa)
(What is it?)
He's a singer.
(Unexpectedly, he has an emotional voice.)
(Who is he?)
(He sings with uneven breathing and shaking shoulders.)
(This voice sounds familiar.)
(Now we know who he is.)
(Whatever)
(I'll sing this my way.)
(Oh, gosh.)
(Zzibba reveals his identity.)
(Now the panellists know as well.)
(He means every word of the song.)
(One by one, the audience fall for him.)
(Wow)
(Don't you know me?)
(Did you recognise me?)
Now, Artificial Intelligence Zzibba, please take off your mask...
and reveal your identity.
Now, Artificial Intelligence Zzibba,
please take off your mask and reveal your identity.
(Oh, my goodness.)
(Male audience cheer more loudly.)
Is he...
- Male audience love him. - Is he...
Male audience love him.
He is...
Who is he?
He is...
Kim Bo Sung,
a loyal actor with 28 years of career.
(He is here at last!)
(Loyalty)
(Everybody mimics his famous gesture.)
Loyalty!
(We unify in him.)
Loyalty.
(Loyalty!)
(Hidden behind a coarse voice is...)
(stainless sincerity of a man.)
(He sings very seriously...)
(with profound emotional depth.)
(Loyalty)
(Kim Bo Sung's awesome stage shined with innocent emotions.)
Loyalty!
- Loyalty! - Loyalty!
Loyalty for The King of Mask Singer!
(Loyalty for The King of Mask Singer!)
(It's nice to see you.)
Thank you.
(He debuted in 1989 in "Happiness Does Not Come In Grades"...)
(and received Best New Actor award at Baeksang Arts Awards.)
(He is an action movie actor who represents the 90s.)
(He became famous again with his fad word "Loyalty".)
(Kim Bo Sung, the loyal man,)
(is even equipped with a great sense of humour.)
- Before, - I sweated a lot.
I sweated to hide his identity. The thing I hid before...
when you asked what we were doing was a pair of sunglasses.
Sunglasses are associated with Bo Sung.
(He could have been caught right away.)
Didn't I sing "Prince of the Sea" in a different voice?
- It was different. - The sea I came back again
It was mellow.
Was that an attempt to hide your voice?
- Yes. - You've practised a lot.
- Very much. - Okay.
- To hide your voice. - Even for the last song,
I meant to sing the first verse in a mellow voice...
and change the voice as I take off the mask.
But everyone knew who I was.
So I gave up and sang in my real voice.
You can't hide that kind of voice.
The song you sang solo was that of S.Papa's.
Yes. And it isn't an easy song.
Yes.
What do you think, Hyun Chul?
(What do you think, Hyun Chul?)
- He's asking. - Yes.
The way you sing a song...
was so similar to that of Elvis Presley's.
His sideburns, especially.
- His sideburns. - We look alike, don't we?
(I'll sing you another song.)
You are just like him.
(He sings even though he's not asked.)
He knows something.
He kept asking me without the mike,
to let him do this and that.
(Seong Ju, let me do this!)
"That's mine!"
"The Tosa is mine, Seong Ju!"
(The Tosa is mine, Seong Ju!)
- But really... - Loyalty!
- Loyalty!
(He succeeds in sealing Seong Ju's mouth by saying "loyalty.")
You did a great job.
Bo Sung has his unique loyalty dance.
- The loyalty dance is simple. - I see.
You can dance with me.
Especially, those who voted for Bo sung,
those 34 people should stand up...
- Like that? - from loyalty.
- They should show their loyalty. - That's cool.
- There they are with loyalty. - I see.
- All of them. - Loyalty!
- Loyalty!
There, too.
- Stand up with your loyalty. - You shouldn't be embarrassed.
- Don't consider it embarrassing. - There are many.
- My goodness. - Those men stand up with loyalty.
- They are all men. - There's a family.
- There are two women. - All right.
- In the back here... - There are female panellists, too.
- Right. - There are six women.
- Right. - I appreciate it.
If they are available, I'd like to buy them a drink.
All right.
- I'm serious. - I see.
(The studio is full of loyalty.)
Let's scream "loyalty" and do the loyalty dance.
- Loyalty! - Give him a music!
(Will he show us a dance as a coherent one?)
Loyalty! Loyalty!
(He's somewhat embarrassed.)
Loyalty!
(You lose if you feel embarrassed.)
Loyalty!
(The guy with the moustache joins.)
(It's so funny.)
(He's totally excited.)
Loyalty!
(They cannot even breathe laughing.)
(He's so serious.)
(It's a world united by loyalty as Bo Sung always wished.)
Loyalty!
(What in the world is this?)
Loyalty!
- All right. - It's easy, isn't it?
Thank you. Thank you for everyone who joined out of loyalty.
I appreciate it.
(Thank you.)
They are loyal.
He showed a manly appearance...
and innocence hidden behind it.
He's an actor Kim Bo Sung.
Please give him a round of applause.
Thank you. Go for it, King of Mask Singer!
- Loyalty! - Loyalty with King of Mask Singer!
- Loyalty! - Loyalty!
I love you. Thank you.
- Thank you for your work. - He's a man.
He's a man of loyalty, Kim Bo Sung.
Let me escort you to the waiting room.
Loyalty!
I'm so satisfied.
- It's been a long time. - Loyalty!
- Loyalty!
(The loyalty virus spread all over.)
Loyalty!
I have such a strong macho image...
so people cannot easily approach to me.
But I'm very warm-hearted and easily moved.
And I'm very tender-hearted.
I think today was a beginning...
to show my tender sentiment.
