At the last final match,
this singer touched the hearts of all the panellists...
winning nine consecutive matches...
for the first time in the show's history.
It's Music Commander in My Town!
(Music Commander in My Town)
The King of Mask Singer who has beat...
numerous talented singers and kept the title for 18 weeks.
He aims to win his 10th consecutive match...
writing a new chapter in the show's history.
However,
there are four masked singers who will challenge him today.
(They will compete to become the 31st King of Mask Singer.)
Street Musician!
(Street Musician)
My Love My Bride!
King's Tightrope Walker!
Job Seeker's Dream Come True!
According to the online mobile survey,
netizens' expectation for the 31st King of Mask Singer is...
Music Commander, who has won nine matches in a row.
Netizens' overwhelming support gave him the first place.
Job Seeker's Dream Come True came in second place.
- I couldn't even breathe. - I'm at a loss for words.
I think this singer could beat the King of Mask Singer.
Will we witness the 10th consecutive win...
or have a new King of Mask Singer?
Oh, no!
Are you ready to be shocked and amazed?
The show begins now.
(The show begins now.)
(King of Mask Singer)
This is the first match of Round Two, Semi-finals.
The man who beat the actor Kang Ji Sub...
has just returned from his busking tour.
The invincible busker, Street Musician!
(Street Musician)
(I'll rule this stage.)
(Welcome.)
He was great.
This man is good at singing.
(His husky and thick voice...)
(captured female hearts.)
I think his voice is very mature.
- I'm absolutely sure he's a singer. - You're sure he's a singer.
I think he is here to become the King of Mask Singer.
(Moreover)
He keeps his elbows close to his body. All right.
Bouncing the waist is important.
He keeps everything else still.
Bouncing the waist is the key.
(He is someone under a veil of mystery.)
(What kind of stage would he show us today?)
("Lifetime" by Kim Hyun Chul)
- Isn't this "Lifetime"? - Isn't this Hyun Chul's song?
(Surprised)
(That's great!)
(Thank you.)
This song is a masterpiece.
(He must feel pressured to sing it in front of the original singer.)
(His voice is mellow as if he is whispering.)
(He is deeply absorbed in the song.)
(Although it's only the beginning, sadness can be felt in his voice.)
(I love it.)
(This is great.)
(Amazed)
(You can feel his ardent feelings.)
(His captivating voice has deep sadness inside.)
(Touched)
Your song is truly great.
(Thank you.)
(House Band)
(Maybe someone harshly broke his heart before.)
(His heartrending sorrow is conveyed.)
(This stage makes your heart ache.)
(It feels as if we've just seen a sad movie.)
(It was a very touching stage.)
(They're all moved by it.)
My heart aches.
His song was very emotional.
This is such a great song.
Her opponent is...
the one who defeated Yoon Bo Mi.
She is here to have the grandest wedding ceremony on this stage.
My Love My Bride.
(The energetic march of the bride)
(Welcome)
I can't wait.
(She changed her dress dramatically.)
Don't you think she changed her dress?
(Amazed)
(They're already fascinated by her.)
(She has the spirit of African-American music.)
(My Love My Bride showed us a powerful stage.)
I think that won't be...
her first marriage.
- I think she may be a big star. - All right.
Maybe she is one of the first-generation idols.
She can't make up her mind. Here comes her desire.
It's her desire. She wants to get away.
"I'm against this marriage."
"I want to run away."
(She has proven that she is as good as the King of Mask Singer.)
(Everyone's attention is focused on her.)
(What kind of charms would My Love My Bride show us?)
It sounds so dreamlike.
What song is this?
("Growl" by EXO)
(Is this "Growl"?)
(Amazed)
(Even when she sings softly, you can feel her charisma.)
(The beat gets faster and faster.)
(It's time to growl!)
(Wow)
(Her powerful spirit of African-American music...)
(fascinates everyone's heart.)
(She has an imposing and energetic air.)
(My Love My Bride is enjoying the stage.)
(Growl)
(She is ruling the stage.)
(Her charisma is unrivalled.)
Gosh, she is so great.
(She puts her hand on her waist.)
(Charismatic)
She is so cool.
(She has pure and clear voice.)
(She sings high notes so powerfully.)
(She's rapping this time.)
(She freely plays with the rhythm.)
(She roars like a lioness.)
(She is the epitome of charisma.)
(By rapping and hitting high notes,)
(she showed her charms as a tough woman.)
(Her performance captivated the audience.)
(They give her a standing ovation.)
(I love you, My Love My Bride.)
She was hiding her real talent.
She didn't show us what she could do last week.
I got goosebumps.
The first match of Round Two came to an end.
Street Musician had a voice that resonates in the heart.
My Love My Bride had a powerful and soulful voice.
Between the two masked singers,
who will move on to Round Three?
All votes are in.
Young Seok, what did you think of their performances?
Listening to Street Musician's performance,
I realised that the song itself is very well-written.
(The composer of the original song is proud.)
Even though Hyun Chul wrote a nice song,
he didn't give it to other singers with better singing skills.
He must have worked very hard to keep the song for himself.
Listening to "Lifetime"...
with better conveyance of emotions...
was a fulfilling experience.
Everyone is familiar with Ludwig van Beethoven.
He said...
Just say "Beethoven". You don't have to use the full name.
- I was trying to sound smart. - Seong Ju looked confused.
- Beethoven. - Beethoven.
He said, "Music should strike fire from the heart of man,"
"and bring tears from the eyes of woman."
I want to modify his words a bit.
"Music comes from man's vocal chords..."
"and melts the heart of woman."
(Music comes from man's vocal chords and melts the heart of woman.)
I was deeply moved by Street Musician's performance.
All right.
- Young Seok speaks like a poet. - He really does.
He uses beautiful words.
Here is what I think...
of My Love My Bride's performance.
I think music is invisible architecture.
"Music is invisible architecture."
The important thing is, in these works of architecture...
always the golden ratio exists.
I think My Love My Bride is a singer...
who will show us the golden ratio.
Hyun Chul, the singer-songwriter watched the performances with pride.
My Love My Bride's singing skills were flawless.
However, I did make an observation.
I think she is someone who works out a lot.
- You think she works out. - Yes.
When she posed like this.
I could see the muscles in her arms.
Her muscles were growling.
Yes, they were.
She works out enough to have prominent muscles.
It gave me an idea...
that she may be a musical singer.
As for Street Musician, his tune, vibrato...
and conveyance of emotions were perfect.
However, I think it would have been better...
if he had opened up more...
in the chorus of the second verse.
The chorus of the third verse was a bit overdone.
Those are the only parts that could be improved.
Did you sing the song that way?
You sang the second and the third verses that way, right?
(Let's see how Hyun Chul conveyed his emotions 20 years ago.)
Don't ask me that.
Why are you so mean to me?
Because he couldn't sing like that,
he has regrets.
His assessment contained his wishes.
I am sure...
the opportunity to sing "Lifetime" in front of Hyun Chul...
made his heart flutter.
He sang with a fluttering heart.
That's right. However, Hyun Chul humiliated him in front of everyone.
- I am sure he is hurt. - I didn't humiliate him.
Hyun Chul didn't praise him much.
Last week, he sang and showed his special talent...
without being nervous.
I think he was burdened to sing in front of me,
- the original composer. - That's right.
That makes sense.
I don't think that's the case.
(Nervous)
I don't think he feels honoured or anything...
to sing a song in front of Hyun Chul.
I think he sang "Lifetime"...
- because he just likes the song. - I see.
His breath...
trembled at the end.
(Breathing hard)
In the middle of singing,
he shuddered.
His performance was heartfelt.
I think he is someone who missed performing on the stage.
My Love My Bride...
- showed an impressive energy. - Yes.
Before the bridge after the first verse,
she only tilted her head,
and put her hand on her waist.
Without moving, she sang...
with her head positioned at a 45-degree angle.
"I am charismatic."
She was impressive.
She felt like the female Music Commander.
The fact that she chose to sing...
"Growl" by EXO in Round Two is very telling.
It means that she has at least two fail-proof weapons.
Most contestants place...
such groundbreaking performance in Round Three.
The fact that she placed it in Round Two means...
that she has another unique performance lined up...
- for Round Three. - That's right.
It's like serving sashimi early in the course.
- I see. - It's natural...
to bring small dishes first.
The fact that she served sashimi now means...
a meat dish is coming up in Round Three.
I think...
- she has something big in store. - You are very sharp.
If her performance is lacking in Round Three,
people will sell stocks after earnings disappointment.
You have good analytical skills.
That's what I wanted to say.
Gu Ra's analysis was on point.
My Love My Bride's transformation made...
men sitting close to Jang Hyuk such as Ki Lee, Young Seok,
Sandeul and Mir grow excited.
She is wearing a dress.
My goodness.
- What happened? - She wore a dress.
- My goodness. - She has transformed.
Ki Lee, have your thoughts changed from Round One?
Please feel my heart.
- It's beating. - Is his heart beating?
- It's beating fast. - It's beating fast.
- Is it still beating fast? - When she sang "Growl",
it felt as if a tiger...
leapt out from behind her.
(Growling, growling)
(It was the cry of a beast of prey.)
It is a bit embarrassing to admit,
but since I haven't appeared on a lot of variety shows,
I practised my reactions while watching TV at home.
"Who is that?" I practised such lines at home.
They didn't come easily at first.
However, watching her performance brought out my genuine reactions.
- They came out naturally. - That's right.
Were those your first genuine reactions?
That means he was faking last week.
You were faking last week.
I embellished my reactions.
- I acted a bit. - Your practise paid off last week.
- I acted a bit last week. - Your reactions were not genuine.
(Last week, he was acting.)
How cute!
(This week, his reactions came from his heart.)
How cool!
(This week, his reactions came from his heart.)
She completed me as a genuine person.
All right.
(He transforms into Zhu Bajie.)
Gu Ra, you should either leave the sunglasses...
on or off.
The producer says you stand out when you fiddle with them.
Is that so?
(He puts them on...)
(and takes them off.)
(He repeats the motion endlessly.)
- Wear them like Lee Seung Chul. - Like this?
- Like this? - There you go.
- Like this? - You can resume...
- with your analysis. - A producer shouldn't dictate...
a small matter such as this.
For goodness' sake. Forget it.
(Pressing hard)
"Forget it."
(He doesn't follow their advice.)
He ignored their advice and pressed them hard.
- Forget it. - All right.
One of Street Musician's special talents is...
imitating athletes.
First of all, he will imitate...
a baseball player, Lee Dae Hyung.
(Whispering)
All right.
He assured me that he is not making fun of the baseball player.
He will be careful with the portrayal.
Baseball player Lee Dae Hyung, if you are watching this,
please don't misunderstand.
Baseball player Lee Dae Hyung is ready to bat.
Lee Dae Hyung is the first batter.
Lee Dae Hyung.
He is not making fun of Lee Dae Hyung.
All right.
He stretched out his back. That was good.
Can you imitate Yang Joon Hyuk?
- It's a sudden request. - Try imitating Yang Joon Hyuk.
Would he be able to do it? He is a fan of baseball.
- Imitate Yang Joon Hyuk. - Yang Joon Hyuk.
He throws his hands in the air after batting.
- That's it! - It's a good imitation.
(Everybody, put your hands up!)
- There you go. Isn't he good? - He looks exactly same.
- He is a big fan of baseball. - Please show us...
Lee Yong Kyu, another baseball player.
(He Imitates a baseball pitcher.)
(He raises his leg like a pitcher.)
He knows how to do it.
(He imitates a batter but looks like a pitcher.)
- He's just like Lee Yong Kyu. - He's good.
Can you imitate Seo Geon Chang?
That's it. That's so Seo Geon Chang.
He's so good.
(He imitates Seo Geon Chang's batting style.)
(He's copying many players' batting styles.)
He knows lots of batting styles.
What's going on?
(Whispering)
- Is he saying he's not mocking? - That's right.
He's not making fun of baseball players.
Please, do not misunderstand about what he's done.
He's just a big fan of baseball.
Now, it's time for football players.
He will imitate a player of Real Madrid.
He will show us the goal ceremony of Ronaldo.
Ronaldo is shooting the ball! Shoot! Goal!
Ronaldo! Goal!
(He shows Ronaldo's tough goal ceremony.)
(It's 100% synchronized.)
It's just the same.
He's seen it so many times.
Yes, he's definitely seen it a lot. Hey, your skirt's rolled up.
Wow.
- He's done it so passionately. - Wait a second.
Can you imitate...
the football coaches when they complain?
- Is he saying he's not mocking? - That's right.
He says you're asking too much.
(Gu Ra is asking too much.)
(Street Musician showed a lot of talents.)
He's done more than enough.
That's true. But is he a famous person?
Yes, he is. You'll be shocked.
How could you not say his name...
not even once? I'm even a bit embarrassed.
The first match of Round Two is over.
I will announce the outcome.
Of these two mask singers,
who will move on to the next round?
I will reveal the winner.
(The winner will be revealed.)
(His song touches your heart deeply.)
(Street Musician who has a sorrowful voice)
(Her song penetrates your heart.)
(My Love My Bride has such a powerful voice.)
Who will be the winner moving on to the Final Round,
the winner of...
this stage?
(King of Mask Singer)
Who's the winner?
My goodness.
(It's a keen competition.)
(What will be the result?)
Who's the winner?
Who will it be?
Between My Love My Bride and Street Musician,
the winner of this match is...
(My Love My Bride won.)
My Love My Bride is the winner.
(She's the winner.)
(Some are happy.)
(Some scream.)
(Some welcome her.)
My Love My Bride beat Street Musician...
with a final score of 60 to 39.
(The margin is bigger than expected.)
My Love My Bride won the match.
Please go back to your waiting room. Give her a round of applause.
(Now, Street Musician will reveal his identity.)
The score was 60 to 39.
(My Love My Bride comes down trembling.)
I can't calm down.
I can't realise I'm gong to Round Three.
We couldn't identify him at all.
Who could he be?
Let's see who he is.
Please move to the back of the stage.
(It's time to reveal his identity.)
Street Musician,
please take off your mask and show us who you are!
I guess he used to be a singer at the same time with me.
I think he aims to be the King of Mask Singer.
I was truly touched.
Show us who you are!
(Street Musician reveals his identity.)
(My goodness)
He is...
He's mending his hair.
He must be an actor.
The audience is screaming loudly.
Is he an idol singer?
He is...
(His identity is...)
Kim Kyung Rok of V.O.S.
(Kim Kyung Rok of V.O.S.)
(What?)
(They can't say a word.)
(They are just screaming.)
(I can't believe I couldn't recognise him.)
He must have felt disappointed.
Kim Kyung Rok of V.O.S...
was Street Musician.
(We didn't expect you, but welcome.)
Please say hello to the audience.
Hello, I'm Kim Kyung Rok of V.O.S. It's nice to meet you.
(V.O.S. is one of the famous ballad groups.)
(They were loved for their sentiment and talents.)
(They've come back after 6 years and 8 months.)
(Kim Kyung Rok's song touches people's hearts deeply.)
Kyung Rok's name was mentioned several times before.
I've seen those.
- You've seen them. - Right,
However, when you're actually on the show,
no one mentioned you.
It's a sad reality.
I guess I can't imitate my own voice.
You're over mid thirties, aren't you?
I'm 34 years old now.
He was famous as "the best looking face" before.
No, that's a different person having the same name.
Why did you say that?
You got it wrong.
You've been a singer for 13 years, haven't you?
That's right.
Today, it was my first stage...
to sing all by myself.
It must be very meaningful to you. Give him a round of applause.
(It's a meaningful day.)
The song you sang alone for the first time was...
"Lifetime" by Kim Hyun Chul.
Hyun Chul, you're stunned although expressing some regrets, right?
I couldn't imagine it would be Kyung Rok.
We see each other often...
at the radio station, right?
For about a year, we've seen each other.
Our booths were right next to each other.
Why did you sing the song...
so sadly today?
As I had rather long period of blank,
someone was looking forward to seeing me singing on the stage.
It's mum.
She's a big fan of this show.
She's been waiting to see me singing on this stage.
Do you want to say something to your mum?
When everyone said I couldn't make it,
she was the only one...
who supported me to do what I want to do.
For such a mum,
what I can do is...
to sing as long as I can sing...
and as long as she can listen to.
I promise I will sing my best whenever, wherever. I love you, Mum.
(I will sing my best wherever that would be.)
Today, since he started singing 13 years ago,
he touched our hearts with his first soloist performance.
Give Kyung Rok a round of applause!
Thank you.
(We support you, Kyung Rok.)
(He looks he's feeling good.)
I wanted to convey them...
that I enjoy singing on the stage.
I want to express happiness and sadness...
with my own voice.
I want to be that kind of singer.
At Round Two, My Love My Bride...
beat Kyung Rok and moved on to Round Three.
It's the second match of Round Two.
He beat the actress Seo Shin Ae.
He's the king on the tightrope.
King's Tightrope Walker!
(King's Tightrope Walker)
(Here comes the Tightrope Walker.)
I'm excited.
He moves so lightly.
- He must be young. - I think so.
(He sang with a refreshing voice at Round One.)
I think he's hiding his techniques.
I guess he became a singer...
through an audition programme.
He might be the real Tightrope Walker.
- You mean Lee Joon Ki? - Are you sure?
He could be.
(A tightrope walker's life is just to have fun.)
(What kind of stage will he show today?)
("Is There Anybody?" by Han Young Ae)
It's a blues song.
("Is There Anybody?" by Han Young Ae)
It gives nice feeling.
Wow!
His voice is totally androgynous.
He's so cute.
(He generates exclamations from the audience.)
(I love it.)
(Female panellists fell for him.)
(He has sexy and husky voice.)
(He gasps as he sings.)
(Is there anybody?)
(Is anyone there?)
(He looks very comfortable on the stage.)
(Shouting)
(He shows his refined stage manners.)
(He captures the hearts of the panellists immediately.)
I like it!
I didn't know he'd sing like this.
(I love him.)
(He is even good at singing in falsetto.)
(He shows a dynamic performance by pulling and pushing his voice.)
This is nice.
(Tightrope Walker's singing rather sounds like tightrope walking.)
(He sounds sexy.)
(And he sounds tough.)
(He expresses his feeling freely.)
(It was Tightrope Walker's exciting performance.)
(It is cool!)
(He is so good.)
- Who on earth is he? - He looks sexy.
Who is he?
It was very fun.
He is so good at singing.
(Is he a master of singing?)
His opponent is...
the masked singer who defeated Yoon Hong Hyun of Big Brain.
His future hope is to become the King of Mask Singer.
Job Seeker's Dream Come True!
(Job Seeker's Dream Come True)
(I will try my best for the second test.)
(Go, Job Seeker!)
He behaves a little bit frivolously.
We will see.
(Job Seeker enjoyed his performance singing comfortably.)
He knows how to control his voice and breath while singing.
I think he is hiding his real ability.
When he sang in alt, I could see that he was a master in singing.
(It is clear that Job Seeker is a master in singing.)
(Who would Job Seeker be?)
("Love Actually" by Daybreak)
(This is my story! Listen.)
(The song sounds cheerful from the beginning.)
(It is so exciting.)
I love his voice.
(His cheerful voice makes people excited.)
(Breezing)
(The rhythm feels comfortable and the melody sounds sweet.)
(It is so exciting.)
(It sounds light but powerful.)
(His voice sounds comfortable,)
(but everyone can see that he is a skilled singer.)
(Moving up and down)
(People are dancing to the song...)
(in their own ways.)
Guitar!
(Hand-sync)
(Shaking their bodies)
(They are absorbed in the melody.)
(They can't help but smile listening to the melody.)
(He is playing with the hearts of panellists.)
(Job Seeker's fantastic ad-lib...)
(makes people happy.)
(It is so nice!)
(His song made people dance at Sunday night.)
(It was Job Seeker's "Love Actually".)
(Bravo!)
It was wonderful.
Job Seeker is good.
Maybe Job Seeker will be the King of Mask Singer today.
(Would he become the king?)
The second match of Round Two is just over.
They showed their different charms from Round One.
I could listen to the songs I don't usually get to hear in auditions.
I was glad.
Tightrope Walker is very witty and...
good at interpreting songs.
He sounded like a jazz singer of a big band.
He sings freely without being formalistical.
It was very impressive.
- He is sings freely. - Yes.
As for Job Seeker,
there is the word "Bollywood", which means Indian film industry.
- Bollywood? - Yes. The best feature...
of Indian movies is that...
you never know what song you'd hear in the movies.
(While they have a serious conversation,)
(they suddenly start dancing to solve a problem.)
And his performance...
reminded me of a scene from an Indian movie.
He is a job seeker...
but it is not easy to find a job. One day, he falls a sleep and...
sings a song in a dream.
He sings "Love Actually" in his dream.
And he awakes from the dream as the teacher, Seong Ju comes in.
- I imagined the scene. - Like Bollywood.
It felt like I watched a Bollywood movie.
I don't think he has a hard time finding a job.
He is just taking time for himself...
to find out a better job.
- I was happy watching him. - I see.
Tightrope Walker sang with a husky voice at the beginning.
Is there anybody
He sang like this using his nasal voice.
On top of that, he was even good at singing in falsetto.
He is an accomplished man.
As for Job Seeker's Dream Come True,
he sounded somewhat heavy...
and very skilful when he sang in the previous round last week.
But he sounded light and cheerful this week.
And his breath was stable the whole time.
As he was so good,
he looks like a man who underwent spiritual training in the mountain.
I think he will show a different performance in Round Three.
Thank you very much for the great performance.
I see. I saw Young Seok and Ki Lee...
dancing together as if they were in a club.
You looked very excited.
As I watched them dancing, I was sure...
that they have a lot of experience in singing, at least 2,000 times.
They are like masters of singing.
- Masters of singing? - Yes.
And I think I saw him singing before.
I think I saw him singing at Haeundae last year.
Can you tell us the initials of his name?
- It's not made up of initials. - Okay.
It's made up of symbols.
Is his name made up of symbols?
- Is his name made up of symbols? - Right.
- Who is he? - Just say it's "T".
(Is his name made up of numbers and letter T?)
His name must be abstruse.
He's 10cm.
Excuse me,
did you say "10cm"?
(What is 10cm?)
(You are busted.)
Yes, he was in an ice cream event with me.
Did he? Right, in Busan.
He was in an ice cream event with you.
- That's it. - You heard his voice then.
- Yes, right. - Are you sure he's 10cm?
I'm positive.
(I'm sure that he's 10cm...)
(who attended an event in Haeundae with me.)
How much percentage are you sure?
(How much percentage are you sure?)
(Because he is 10cm...)
I'm 10 percent sure.
(He's 10 percent sure.)
Listen to yourself.
I don't think Tightrope Walker is...
that old.
Although the song is quite old,
- Yes. - he could interpret the song well.
I think he can play the guitar really well.
- Oh, he plays the guitar. - He might be a singer-songwriter.
- So, he's a singer-songwriter. - Yes.
He might be Yu Seung Woo who's in his early 20s.
- Oh, Yu Seung Woo. - Wow.
(The guitar always follows this handsome boy's voice.)
(Yu Seung Woo is a talented singer-songwriter.)
It's possible that he's Yu Seung Woo.
He's not tall, either.
There's a guess that he's Yu Seung Woo.
Young Seok, what do you think?
Today's stage was...
not a competition of singing skill,
but a competition of musicianship.
The stage I've seen was extraordinarily funky, blusey...
and groovy at the same time.
It made me think that...
you can't write the most important element of music...
in the score.
- Wow. - He's making lots of adages today.
He's making lots of adages today.
Wow.
You can't write the most important element of music in the score.
He said right.
Every word he says today is a true axiom.
Wise words keep coming out from him.
He regarded highly of their musicality.
I'd like to hear a word from...
an amateur expert.
I've felt like this since last week.
Although Lee Mong Ryong came in a disguise of a beggar,
he took Byun Hak Do down...
yelling out his true identity when the time came.
Likewise, although he looks shabby...
and often scratches his body,
I think he'll change the game when the moment comes,
- screaming "dreams come true". - Job Seeker arrives.
- I'm sure he's the secret weapon. - Right.
He seeks a job and gets a position of the king.
- Yes. - You're saying that it's possible.
- Yes, right. - Okay.
His first job can be a king.
You analysed thus.
- He's a great master. - Okay.
Tightrope Walker sings so comfortably.
I think if he'd sung without the mask,
he would've kept his smile...
no matter what note he sang.
As for Job Seeker, your big build and...
the way you sang the ad-lib...
very much resembled that of a person I know.
- Ad-lib of a person you know? - Yes.
Your ad-lib was similar to that of The One.
(The One has a unique ad-lib of his own.)
(He uses a lot of ad-libs.)
(On the other hand, Job Seeker's ad-lib is...)
I thought that he can be The One,
but The One has small hands.
- Does he? - But his fists are...
a little too big.
Also, since The One works out a lot,
his chest is more protruded than the belly.
Right, okay.
- But his belly looks bigger than... - Right, right.
- the chest. - It does seem so.
So I'm now back and forth.
But I really enjoyed your musical performance.
What would the result be?
I'll announce the result for the second match of...
- Round Two, Semi-finals. - Oh, no.
It was Tightrope Walker's charming and soulful voice...
versus Job Seeker who played the stage at his will.
Between these two male singers,
I'll announce the last winner...
who'll advance to the Final Round.
(Tightrope Walker's weighty voice is...)
(both mellow and powerful.)
(Job Seeker's pliant and emotional voice...)
(lifted the audience's heart up and down.)
The winner who'll advance to Round Three...
and compete with My Love My Bride...
is no other than...
Gosh, who is it?
Oh, gosh. Who is it?
- The winner is... - The winner is...
(This fine match showed...)
(unexpected charms of two singers.)
(Who is the winner?)
The winner who's going to make it to Round Three is...
Job Seeker has won.
Job Seeker is the winner.
(Wow!)
- Job Seeker. - Job Seeker.
Job Seeker.
(He's surprised and she's happy.)
Wow.
(Oh, my goodness.)
Job seeker defeated Tightrope Walker...
and advances to Round Three.
It was 45 to 54.
The margin was nine votes.
It was 45 to 54.
Get ready for the next round.
Please give him a big hand of congratulations.
Job Seeker goes to Round Three.
(Tightrope Walker's identity will be revealed shortly.)
My nose is runny, I'm thirsty and my throat is dry.
Oh, gosh,
what should I do later?
Who would Tightrope Walker be?
We'll find out who he is.
Come to the behind of the stage.
Now, Tightrope Walker.
Please take off your mask...
and reveal your identity.
This can be his second visit.
- Is he Lee Joon Gi? - Lee Joon Gi.
He might have come.
- He can be Niel. - Oh, Niel.
He can be Yu Seung Woo in his early 20s.
- There's a number in the name. - 10cm?
(Is he 10cm?)
Who would he be?
(The crowd goes wild.)
(Female panellists cheer.)
- Who's he? - He must be really famous.
- He must be really famous. - Let me see.
They recognise him right away.
- He is... - 10cm?
He's an idol.
He is...
Yu Seung Woo, the singer-songwriter.
She's got it right.
- She was right. - I was right.
(Chaeyoung guessed Seung Woo right.)
She's incredible.
(She's incredible.)
She got him right.
She hit the bull's eye.
I agreed with her.
Yes, right.
Please say hello to the viewers.
Hello, the viewers of "King of Mask Singer",
- I'm Yu Seung Woo, a singer. - Okay.
(He made his debut at the age of 16 in 2012.)
(He performed analogue music,)
Let's sing together.
(as he has been trained by busking.)
(Yu Seung Woo, the singer-songwriter...)
(has fascinated the public with his emotional voice.)
(He sang sound tracks for)
("Cunning Single Lady"...)
(and "Oh Hae Young Again".)
He debuted through an audition programme.
When he made his debut,
- he was... - 16 years old.
He was a middle school student.
- And he's now... - 20 years old.
- 20 years old. - 20 years old.
He was born in 1997.
Right, He was nicknamed as "national little brother",
but he wants to celebrate his adulthood musically...
through "King of Mask Singer".
I heard you said such things.
It was nice to get to perform...
in a famous music show like "King of Mask Singer".
Oh, was it?
Young Seok regarded highly of your musicality.
I think we need a lot of singers like him...
to make progress in Korean music industry.
I was very happy to see his skill...
that was way beyond his age.
His rhythmical breathing was remarkable.
I was astonished to see...
a 20-year-old man...
with such great talent.
- I agree. - I enjoyed the stage very much.
What kind of singer do you want to be, Seung Woo?
I'll constantly sing and write music...
and try hard to live like a singer.
(He's the best.)
Today we met Yu Seung Woo,
who's not a cute little brother any more...
but a very talented singer-songwriter.
Please cheer him with a big hand.
Thank you.
(We support his much bigger dreams.)
(He steps down from the stage quickly.)
I like to hear that I'm a good musician...
rather than I'm a good singer.
I like to hear those words.
As a singer-songwriter Yu Seung Woo,
I want to make music that people can listen to for their lifetime...
and look forward to listening.
Job Seeker's Dream Come True defeated Yu Seung Woo...
and advances to Round Three.
The mysterious music show, King of Mask Singer.
After intense competition,
we have two masked singers...
who'll be Music Commander's rivals.
I'll call the two masked singers...
who advanced to the Final Round.
Give them a round of applause.
(Who will be the one mask singer?)
They are My Love My Bride...
and Job Seeker's Dream Come True.
It's a lady versus a gentleman,
a female singer versus male singer.
(What would their match be like?)
It's the Final Round.
How do you feel, Job Seeker?
You did it.
You made it to the third round.
(He struggled to make it to the Final Round.)
Gosh, I'm very impressed.
We all judged him by his attire...
and questioned if he'd be able to make it to the second round.
But with strong determination and will to make his dream come true,
he made it to the third round.
(He lived on ramyeon and in his tracksuit.)
(He came here to achieve the dream of his life.)
It's be so cool if he's actually an amazing singer.
Job Seeker versus Singing Fairy.
Who is the winner? Please show us the result!
Job Seeker beat Singing Fairy by three votes!
Between Tightrope Walker and Job Seeker,
who will get to move on to the third round? Show us!
(He struggled in the second round, too.)
Job Seeker won!
He won by nine votes.
We all questioned if he'd be able to make it to the second round.
You made it to the third round. How do you feel?
I was so nervous earlier that my legs kept trembling.
I feel as if I've lost about 1kg of weight.
I really didn't think I'd come this far. Thank you so much.
I see. He didn't expect to make it this far.
If we give you the opportunity to get out...
of the unemployment funk by winning the King of Mask Singer title,
are you confident that you can do a good job?
I'll clean the throne and make sure that it always shine.
I see. You're confident that you can make the throne shine all the time.
What about you, My Love My Bride?
Are you coveting the throne?
Let's see who won...
between Bani Bani and My Love My Bride. Show us the result!
My Love My Bride is the winner.
(She revealed her ambition in the second round.)
The winner of this match is...
(She revealed her teeth during the second match at Music Commander.)
(Roaring)
My Love My Bride won. The result is 60 votes to 39 votes.
I do want to win, but more importantly,
I'd like to focus on my song so that I can deliver a great performance.
Right. That's great.
(You're awesome!)
All right. As you all know, Music Commander is aiming...
for his 10th consecutive win today.
(Music Commander looks even more determined to win today.)
If you'd like to say anything to these two, please go ahead.
All right.
(He sounds so chilled.)
Don't be nervous.
I actually want to say something to Job Seeker.
You said earlier that you'd wipe down and dust off this throne.
You won't have the energy for it when you get here.
(You won't have the energy for it when you get here!)
You said that you already lost 1kg of weight.
Then you'd lose at least 5kg if you become the King of Mask Singer.
- I see. - You should eat a lot of meat!
All right. Thank you.
If he wants to become the King of Mask Singer,
he has to maintain good physical health.
Music Commander gave him a word of encouragement.
Now, we'll begin...
the third round, the final round for selecting the King of Mask Singer.
First off,
let's watch My Love My Bride's performance.
(My Love My Bride will perform first!)
(Nervous)
Not many people have beaten two professional singers.
Usually, one is a comedian or someone with a different background,
but she has won against two singers.
- Who's going to win? - Which song will she sing?
(With her powerful and energetic voice,)
(My Love My Bride blew all the panellists away.)
(What would this performance be like?)
("Wild Flower" by Park Hyo Shin)
Oh, this song is "Wild Flower".
I was sort of wondering if she'd sing this today.
("Wild Flower" is known as a very difficult song to sing.)
(Oh, my!)
(Her beautiful voice instantaneously captivates everyone's heart.)
(The sad melody touches us.)
(Her pure voice purifies our hearts.)
(Everyone is already immersed in the beauty of her voice.)
It's awesome.
Her performance is making my heart flutter.
(The panellists are getting more absorbed into the performance.)
(House Band)
(Her powerful voice enlivens the song.)
(Her beautiful, compelling high notes...)
(remind us of wild flower with strong roots.)
(My goodness!)
(Her ability to express the sentimentality puts us in awe.)
(Her performance warmed our hearts and souls.)
(Touched)
That was amazing!
(That was amazing!)
I'm not sure why my heart is aching like this.
Gosh, it totally touched my heart.
Now, let's meet her competition.
He who needs the throne to put an end to his unemployment funk.
Job Seeker's Dream Come True!
(The previous matches were tough for him.)
(Probably because of that reason,)
(he has lost a lot of confidence.)
(Cheer up!)
(He tries to pull himself together.)
- Gosh, he looks fierce today. - He looks fierce.
Yes, he looks so determined today.
It almost looks as if he tightened his headband even more to show...
his determination. Don't you think so?
- Which song will he sing? - I'm feeling nervous, too.
(All the panellists are feeling nervous as well.)
Please show us.
(He has been in that tracksuit since his first appearance.)
(Unfortunately for him,)
(My Love My Bride delivered one of her best performances.)
(Will he be able to beat My Love My Bride?)
("Nocturn" by Lee Eun Mee)
(Among all of Lee Eun Mee's songs, this is the most difficult one.)
(Surprised)
(The echo from his voice astonishes everyone from the first verse.)
(His rich sentimentality touches everyone's heart.)
(This is totally different from his previous performances!)
(Amazed)
(His deep emotions were hidden all this time.)
(His deep and warm voice heals everyone's soul.)
(It is so lyrical as if he is reminiscing old memories...)
(that were truly heart-rending.)
(Fascinated)
(Panellists' emotions are rising with him.)
(The storm of strong emotions...)
(takes your breath away.)
(Amazed)
(He uses every power he has to express the sadness.)
(Astonished)
(As if the time has stopped,)
(he and his music become one.)
(The audience feels the pain that the singer expresses.)
(Collapsing)
(It was an overwhelming stage where he's totally absorbed in the song.)
(You gave us goosebumps.)
(They're giving him a standing ovation.)
Gosh, what is this?
That was unbelievable.
(He sobbed so hard that...)
(he looks like the ugly doll.)
Is your body supposed to hurt when you listen to a song?
- Why is my body in pain? - My body aches.
(They focused so hard that their body aches.)
- Why does my body ache so much? - That was great.
The Final Round between these two singers is over.
Now, it is time to make a decision.
Who will become a rival of Music Commander,
who is seeking for his 10th win.
All votes are in.
First of all, I want to hear what Music Commander...
thought about their performances.
Their performances were fantastic.
To be able to hear the songs of...
people who has such great voices,
- I think I'm very lucky. Thank you. - All right.
(Thank you.)
Good. Now, Music Commander is aiming for his 10th win.
Please get ready for your performance.
Please give him a big round of applause.
(He has shown us different yet amazing stages.)
(What kind of stage would he show us this time?)
Now, Young Seok cried in a very long time.
- Did you cry? - He cried a lot.
(He cried a lot.)
I guess he was very moved by the song.
(Flower petals are)
(floating about in the wind.)
(Sobbing)
(The old love left with the floating flower petals.)
(Young Seok was lost in faint, old memories.)
- He cried. - It's nothing to be ashamed of.
- Did you cry a lot? - Don't ask him that.
He's such a mood-killer!
He was just lost in memories.
Now, I feel bad that I mentioned it.
(I'm sorry.)
As I listened to Job Seeker's singing,
I was singing along with him inwardly.
I started to empathise with his feelings.
- I cried without realising. - I see.
What did you think, Jang Hyuk?
As I listened to My Love My Bride's singing,
I felt as if my breathing would affect her breathing.
So I couldn't breathe.
"Wild Flower" is a song that you can never make a mistake...
on breathing or get distracted.
Her singing made me hold my breath and concentrate.
It was such a wonderful stage.
I think Yoon Seok almost fainted.
Okay. He is still very touched.
(The first shock made him grasp his chest.)
(The second shock made him weak in the knees.)
I generally like rock music.
I often get feeble after things as headbanging.
That's right.
- But I didn't move at all today. - Right.
I was just listening to their songs, and it started to ache here.
- Your heart. - My heart aches so much.
When My Love My Bride was singing...
(They shot a light from behind her.)
They shot a light from behind her.
(The fairy has come.)
I thought I was looking at Mother Teresa.
Mother Teresa.
- It felt sacred. - Okay.
- She looked sacred when she sang. - You thought it was sacred.
As for Job Seeker, I'm pretty sure that...
you'll get a job today.
(You will probably get a job today.)
You believe he can get a job today.
I think Music Commander should prepare his performance well.
Job Seeker is...
In the 2008 Olympics in Beijing, we had...
a semi-final match in baseball with Japan.
In the eighth inning, Lee Seung Yeop hit a home-run, and we won.
- Yes. - Do you remember?
At the time, Heo Gu Yeon said this.
What did he say?
"I have nothing to say", then he cried.
- It went over the fence! - It went over!
- Goodness. - I have nothing to say.
- His home-run scores two points. - Lee Seung Yeop!
I think I know how he must have felt.
- I really have nothing to say. - Right.
What should I say? Say something.
- I don't know what to say either. - That's right.
What I thought was that...
this show sometimes feels like a comedy show,
but what makes someone a winner is their music. Look at him.
He is dressed so foolishly, yet he sang a serious song.
It's a really funny thing.
But no one found it funny.
So I think his stage made me realise...
- that music is not about vision. - Okay.
It's about the sound. That's the truth of music.
- That's right. - Yes.
(They made us feel the power of music.)
Now,
it is time to announce the result of the Final Round.
Who will be the winner of this match?
She can sing songs in any genre. My Love My Bride.
The energetic and experienced Job Seeker's Dream Come True.
Among them, who will move on...
to the Final Match? Show us the result.
(Show us the result.)
(She has a pure yet powerful voice.)
(My Love My Bride has touched everyone's heart.)
(He has a captivating husky voice.)
(Job Seeker expresses his feelings with all his power.)
Who will win this round...
and become the rival of Music Commander?
The winner is...
Goodness. Who is the winner?
(He looks very excited.)
(Nervous)
(The winner is...)
(Who is the winner?)
(They both showed us the greatest stage.)
(It was a fierce competition between two talented singers.)
(Who came out on the top in Round Three?)
Who will compete against Music Commander?
Who is the winner of this match?
Let's check it out. The winner is...
(Job Seeker's Dream Come True won.)
Job Seeker won!
(Job Seeker)
(Panellists show mixed reactions.)
(They are overjoyed.)
Job Seeker!
(What is the final score?)
Job Seeker beat My Love My Bride...
and became the winner.
(16 to 83)
The final score is 83 to 16.
(There is a big difference between scores.)
By a landslide,
Job Seeker became the winner.
Please move to the back and check out...
the King of Mask Singer's performance.
Please give him a round of applause.
(My Love My Bride will be revealed.)
(He doesn't look nervous any more.)
I want to thank...
the panellists and audience for listening with all their hearts.
My Love My Bride received...
love from the audience and praises from the panellists.
Who could she be?
Please move to the back and remove your mask.
Who is My Love My Bride?
Please take off your mask and reveal your identity.
I think she is a second generation idol singer.
She was born in 1981 or 1982.
It gave me an idea that she may be a musical singer.
(Who is My Love My Bride?)
(My goodness.)
(Shocked)
What is it?
- Who is she? - She is...
- Who is she? - What is it?
(Who is the masked singer with amazing singing skills?)
She is BADA of S.E.S., the original fairy-like idol group.
Hello.
My goodness.
It's BADA!
(Screaming)
It's BADA!
(Giggling)
I knew it.
Hello.
(It's good to see you.)
My Love My Bride was BADA.
I feel like I was just born into the world...
now that I have finally taken off the mask.
Hello, it has been a while. I am BADA.
- It's good to be here. - It's BADA.
(She debuted with "I'm Your Girl" in 1997.)
(She was the main vocalist of S.E.S.)
("I Love You", "Dreams Come True" "Run"...)
("Just a feeling" are a few of their popular songs.)
(She debuted as a solo artist in 2003.)
(She is famous for groundbreaking performances.)
(She is also an acclaimed musical actress.)
(She appears in TV shows in China as well.)
Because you are busy with your schedule in China,
it has been a while since you performed in Korea.
Yes, it was fun to perform...
in front of the Korean audience after a long time.
Were you nervous even though you were wearing a mask?
I was very nervous.
- Is that so? - I was very nervous.
- However, I sang with all my heart. - You did.
I am sure the audience felt the sincerity in my performances.
That's right. Your performances touched people's hearts.
(You were amazing.)
In the music industry,
you are known as the tough woman.
I am surprised that you were nervous on the stage.
I perform like a tough woman on stage,
but my personality is different in real life.
We often think of you...
as a tough and confident woman.
Is that a bias?
I give strong performances on stage.
On television, people like it...
when I act like a tough woman.
- It's an image I have. - I see.
The writers dressed me up as a blushing bride...
because I talked about these matters.
I have a question.
Your costume changed from last week's Round One.
Have you always planned on changing the costume?
Did it happen by chance because you ripped the costume?
He is curious...
about your costume.
Everyone imagined me to be...
someone who is a lot older.
She was annoyed.
I wanted to give some hints. I was also annoyed.
It's understandable.
- Last week, - I was enraged.
you wished to give away hints.
I realised that I should dye my roots.
Anyway, I am a teenager at heart.
I see.
She performed on King of Mask Singer after a long break.
She is the best vocalist, BADA.
Please give her a round of applause.
- Thank you. - Let's go, BADA!
- Thank you. - BADA!
Thank you.
(We look forward to seeing more of your amazing performances.)
Thank you for your hard work.
(She comes down the stage with a smile.)
It was fun. Thank you for your hard work.
Not many artists from my era are still working.
Almost none of them works as a solo artist.
However, the audience was still excited to see me.
It felt like they understood that my songs...
always came from my heart.
I will continue to practise singing.
My experience on the show made me plan for the future.
I will continue to grow as a singer.
In the third round,
Job Seeker's Dream Come True beat BADA...
and moved on to Final Match.
What remains is...
Music Commander's performance.
Music Commander was nicknamed "AlphaGo of music industry".
What kind of performance has he prepared for Final Match?
Let's check out Music Commander's performance for Final Match...
that will determine the 31st King of Mask Singer.
(It starts now.)
This is Final Match to determine the 31st King of Mask Singer.
He aims to take 10 consecutive wins.
He is the legendary vocalist,
Music Commander in My Town!
(Music Commander in My Town)
(The path became familiar to him.)
(He strides into the stage.)
(We were waiting for you, Music Commander.)
(He is here.)
This is my first time seeing him.
How nice!
It feels like his mask is getting handsomer.
Right?
His costume has changed.
Is that his summer costume?
(His new costume sparkles.)
(Even his costume is the talk of the town.)
(Music Commander's performance never disappoints.)
(His opponent is quite talented.)
(What kind of performance has he prepared?)
Which song will he sing today?
What will it be?
(No one expected this refreshing whistling.)
(Which song will he sing today?)
("Long Term Lovers" by 015B)
(Music Commander's cheerful disposition...)
(improves the listeners' mood.)
(Dancing cutely)
(His whistle resembles the spring breeze.)
(Everyone moves to the rhythm of the spring.)
(He is charming even when he is whistling.)
(It's a song dedicated to lovers in the stage of ennui.)
(Music Commander confesses his belief in the thrill of love.)
(The stage is full of distant memories his voice conveys.)
(It was a stage full of happiness that made everyone smile.)
My goodness.
(It was incredible.)
(He made everyone stand up.)
He's awesome.
(Even music experts are in awe.)
It was so classy.
He gets a full attention just by whistling.
It was like a movie.
Final Match for 31st King of Mask Singer is over.
It's time to vote.
Press one for Job Seeker's Dreams Come True,
and press two for Music Commander in My Town.
It's your last vote.
Who will be the 31st King of Mask Singer?
The person who gets even one more vote...
will be the new King of Mask Singer...
or the King of Mask Singer with 10 consecutive wins.
Yoon Seok, please vote.
Yoon Seok, you have to vote now.
All votes are in for the Final Match.
Now, please say hello to each other.
Attention, bow.
That's good. They are rivals...
for 31st King of Mask Singer,
even though their outfit look very different.
We never know who will be the King.
How would the panellists evaluate them?
- Jang Hyuk, what do you think? - Music Commander's song choice...
is always extraordinary.
I never expected that he would sing 015B's song.
As impressive as his breathing capacity is,
his whistling was very attractive, too.
They say the marathoners have...
bigger lung capacity compared to ordinary people.
Music Commander seems he was born with...
- lungs for singing. - I see.
He has such a power in his voice no one can vie for.
I'd like to give him a big applause...
and I enjoyed his performance today. It was awesome.
Music Commander started off with whistling...
and closed the stage with whistling.
Hyun Chul, what do you think?
While others show their talents...
through three rounds,
Music Commander must show through one single song.
Although he could have shown...
a high-pitched tone at the end,
he chose to end the song calmly with the whistling.
I'll give that a big point.
You did a good job.
(You did a good job.)
(Gu Ra looks sullen.)
Gu Ra, you look very serious.
No, I'm not serious.
I'm just wondering whether we should keep Music Commander here.
I don't think that's a good idea.
It's time for him to take off the mask...
and go on other variety shows.
- He should be shoot commercials. - That's right.
He should be on "Radio Star" and do live concerts.
I think it's time for him to go back to his life.
King of Mask Singer is not your profession.
Isn't it true? It's not your profession.
- Am I not right? - You're right.
- For his sake? - King of Mask Singer is a memory.
- Is it time for us to let him go? - It's time to let him go.
- I get it. - That's what I thought,
and we can build a statue on this stage next week.
To keep his memory, right?
Yes, we can do that.
You did well today. Thank you for your hard work.
The staff sent me a message just now.
The staff is asking...
why Gu Ra voted that way.
- What's wrong with it? - Sorry?
I voted for Music Commander, number two!
- I voted for number two. - Really?
(Why did Gu Ra vote for him when he wants him to leave?)
- Why did you do so? - So that he wouldn't be upset.
You are changing your words.
I don't want him to leave feeling upset.
- I don't want him to feel upset. - You're being considerate?
That's right.
If he's leaving, it won't look good...
if the score differs too much.
- You're contemptible. - You're sending him off nicely.
I hope he could get at least 40 votes...
before he leaves.
- That's why I voted for him. - I can't believe you.
You voted for him, but you want to let him go now.
That's funny. Now, Yoon Seok,
you are the last person to vote today.
From his song choice,
I could see what Music Commander felt.
"If we can find the first feeling and thrill we had,"
"we will not be tired of each other any more."
As Music Commander had his glory for a long time,
he might have thought he should find how he felt in the beginning.
It was hard for me to vote since I knew how he felt.
I'd like to tell Job Seeker's Dream Come True...
that dreams do come true.
It seems that he heard that message.
Job Seeker, do you think you can be the King of Mask Singer?
The decision is not for me to make.
Music Commander, do you think you can win 10th streak?
I will leave the decision to others as well.
All right. No one yet knows the result.
I will open the result now.
King of Mask Singer, Final Match for the 31st King.
Between the two masked singers, where did your unbiased votes go?
The result will be revealed right now.
Who is the 31st King of Mask Singer?

(His sorrowful performance swooped everyone away.)

(Music Commander yet again attempts something new.)
(He challenges for 10th straight win with a totally different feeling.)
(It'd be the first time for someone to win 10 times on the show.)
(Can he achieve it?)
Of these two masked singers,
who is the 31st King of Mask Singer you've chosen?
The winner is...
(Shouting)
I can't watch this.
(What do we need now?)
This is driving me crazy.

Let's see.
I will announce the 31st King of Mask Singer.
The winner is...
(Job Seeker's Dream Come True wins the match.)

(What's wrong?)
My throat hurts.
Job Seeker won.
He beat Music Commander.
Job Seeker is the new King of Mask Singer.
The score is 66 to 33.
With the final score of 66 to 33,
he beat Music Commander and became...
the new King of Mask Singer.
Music Commander failed to win 10 consecutive times.
Job Seeker is the new King of Mask Singer.
He's the 31st King of Mask Singer.
When he first came upon the stage,
no one paid attention to him.
(No one paid attention to him.)
He just looked like an idle job seeker in town.
He became the King of Mask Singer.
You stopped Music Commander from getting his 10th win.
How do you feel? Your hands are trembling.
(He can't find where the microphone should go.)
Well...
(Giggling)
(It's taking a long time for him.)
I've watched Music Commander's performances.
I was deeply moved, watching Music Commander singing.
I was inspired by him.
(Music Commander has inspired a lot of musicians.)
I will make sure to polish the throne.
And I will be careful not to ruin this robe.
- Thank you. - All right.
(Thank you.)
Just like his nickname,
his dream has come true.
He got a new job as the King of Mask Singer.
Please say a few words to the new King of Mask Singer.
I believe he deserves to sit on the throne.
I'm glad that I could hand over the throne...
to this great singer.
I've shown you many aspects of myself so far.
I hope the new king will give you enjoyment and happiness...
from now on.
- Congratulations. - All right.
He just gave Job Seeker warm words of encouragement.
Job Seeker's Dream Come True...
achieved his dream and found a job.
Please leave the stage after a march.
Please give him a big round of applause.
We have a new King of Mask Singer.
He is an expert in turning the tide in a match.
He beat Music Commander with his great singing skills.
- He was truly amazing. - Wait.
It looks like he's being dragged out.
It seems he didn't expect to become the King of Mask Singer.
I'd like to thank people who voted for me.
And I hope Music Commander will stay healthy.
I look forward to more of his amazing performances.
His costume looks so good for the King of Mask Singer.
He is the legendary hero of the King of Mask Singer.
(That's me!)
(You've done a wonderful job!)
Music Commander has been a legend.
Now, we can finally see his face.
Before taking off the mask, is there anything...
you would like to say?
I've been very happy.
I was grateful.
I wonder...
if I'll ever feel this happy again in my life.
I was so happy and grateful.
I've seen you for a few weeks...
as Music Commander.
So I feel a little shy to take off the mask after such a long time.
That's because the mask looks cute and handsome.
I'm afraid you will be disappointed...
if you see my real face. I'm worried about it.
But I will have to do it some day. So I'll just get it done right now.
Okay.
(You are so great, Music Commander!)
Good.
It is time to see his real face.
Music Commander, please move to the back of the stage.
(Music Commander will reveal his face now.)
Okay.
Please move to the back of the stage and take off the mask.
(Who is Music Commander?)
Please show us your face.
(With his limitless powerful voice,)
(he exploded like an infinite engine.)
(And he touched people's heart...)
(with his sentimental voice.)
(It has been an endless challenge.)
(He had to fight against himself at all times.)
(The whole nation looked forward to seeing him singing on Sunday night.)
(Who is this great singer?)
(He finally takes off the mask after 20 weeks.)
He finally takes off the mask after 20 weeks.
(Welcome!)
He is...
You look so cool!
Oh my gosh!
We've spent a lot of time with him.
It feels weird to see him take off the mask.
Who are you?
(Let's just take it off.)
He is...
(He is...)
He is Ha Hyun Woo of the great band, Guckkasten.
(It is nice to see you, Ha Hyun Woo!)
(Ha Hyun Woo, you are the best!)
(Shouting)
Ha Hyun Woo! Ha Hyun Woo!
(They wanted to shout his name out loud so much.)
We finally get to see his face after a long time.
He is Ha Hyun Woo of Guckkasten.
He has been the King of Mask Singer for the past 20 weeks.
He is Music Commander in My Town.
Please say hello to the viewers.
Hello, I'm the vocalist of Guckkasten, Ha Hyun Woo.
- Nice to see you. - Ha Hyun Woo of Guckkasten!
(Guckkasten is a popular band of Korea.)
(They showed off great performances in "I Am a Singer Season 2".)
(He brought a new rock sensation to the music industry.)
(And he always astonished the world with his experimental performances.)
(He is the vocalist of Guckkasten, Ha Hyun Woo.)
Music Commander achieved remarkable nine consecutive wins.
How did you feel wearing the mask for 20 weeks?
I finally get to ask you this question.
First of all, it was very hot.
- I see. - And...
I thought I should have prepared something cooler to wear.
I thought...
I'd adapt to this stage if I stayed on the throne for a long time.
- I see. - But...
I was very afraid, nervous and scared...
the whole time as if I came here for the first time.
(He was under a lot of pressure the whole time.)
I was nervous and scared,
but I could see you...
supporting and cheering for me.
That helped me a lot.
I see.
I even saw some people rooting for me...
as I stood on the stage to start singing.
(You are the best, Music Commander!)
- Some people did this for me. - I see.
I was being loved by a lot of people sitting on the throne.
I was very happy during the time.
Thank you very much.
(Thank you very much.)
(We were happy, too.)
Gu Ra continuously said that it's about time you leave the throne...
but voted for you.
I heard you wanted to say something to Gu Ra.
In fact, I'm a big fan of Gu Ra.
- I knew it. - I see.
Because I like unique people.
(Because I like unique people.)
- He sure is unique. - Yes.
I like his disapproving eyes.
His disapproving eyes!
- Do you like them? - Yes.
And I like his negative look on the face.
But he makes us laugh all the time.
- I see. - I think it makes him attractive.
It is not a very joyous laugh though.
He looked like this whenever I sang on the stage.
(Disapproving)
"Can he really do that?"
He looked very negative.
But every time he talked about my performances,
- he spoke highly of them. - I see.
I appreciate it very much.
Do you want to say anything, Gu Ra?
I'd like to thank him for his hard work.
Thanks to Music Commander, our programme could take...
one step forward...
and became a national favourite.
You are free now. So I want to see you singing on TV more often.
I hope to see you in a lot of variety programmes such as...
"Radio Star", "I Live Alone", "The Mania", "My Little Television",
"Infinite Challenge" and so on.
(I hope to see you in a lot of MBC variety programmes.)
As far as we know,
Music Commander felt like a cute chatterbox.
I wonder what your real personality is like.
- I think I am cute. - I see.
I knew I was cute in a way.
Did you? You knew you were cute.
Yes, I could feel it.
But actually, I am...
a quiet person.
During the time I sang as Music Commander in King of Mask Singer,
I have stayed only in my studio for the past 20 weeks.
I rarely went out the whole time.
Now, I want to go out and have some fun.
I want to show people how cute I am...
and that I am a bright person.
- I hope you will do that. - And I'll wear this again in fall.
(I will wear this costume again in fall.)
- And I will say hello to people. - Okay. In fall.
You have a lot of female fans.
Go Eun, you finally get to see his face.
How do you feel?
I feel so shy to see his real face.
I can't even look at him in the eyes.
I think I have a crush on him.
(I think I have a crush on him.)
- You feel the same, don't you? - She is in love.
It feels as if...
he has already dumped me.
- I know what you mean. - Many women parked themselves...
to see him in front of the TV every week.
They all would feel the same way.
- I know. - She keeps saying,
"My boyfriend is gone", as if he was her boyfriend.
(Please don't go, Music Commander.)
- He's not your boyfriend. - I want to tell Bong Sun something.
Okay.
You are very attractive.
Every time I sang,
I looked at Bong Sun.
I have to watch it again! I can't believe this.
- Don't say that to her. - She has a common face.
You are ruining her life.
- She has a common face. - Please don't do that to her.
I'm just saying that...
she looked so beautiful when she watched me...
singing on the stage.
I feel like crying.
- You are breaking a prejudice. - Seong Ju. She is crying.
- Is she crying? I knew it. - She's crying.
What will you do with her? It's your fault!
- I'm sorry. - What have you done to Bong Sun?
By the way,
I don't understand why she's crying.
(I don't understand why she's crying.)
We should understand her.
- What do you know about romance? - Exactly. What do you know?
He doesn't know anything.
Lastly, Hyun Woo, if you'd like to say anything,
this is your moment.
While I was singing as Music Commander,
I think I was Music Commander and not Ha Hyun Woo.
I was Music Commander when singing under the mask on this stage.
So, when I wore the mask,
I could perform more than I was capable of.
It was an extraordinary experience for me.
I've never been happier in my singing career.
I was so happy.
Once again, thank you everyone.
All right.
Hyun Woo, for the last time,
could you show us the portamento?
The one that you showed us...
while singing "Waiting Day by Day".
Okay, then.
I heard that Hyun Woo asked the staff that he wants to wear...
the mask of Music Commander...
when he finally leaves the stage.
I heard so. Is that true?
- Yes. - Okay, then.
Hyun Woo will wear the mask,
sing as Music Commander,
and say good bye to us.
- Oh, no. - Will that be okay?
Is this really the end?
He's awesome until the end.
He really becomes a hero when he wears the mask.
He returned as Music Commander once again.
We will listen to his song...
- for the last time. - The portamento.
(Waiting day by day)
Superb!
(He really is Music Commander.)
(Wait for me day by day.)
Awesome.
Wow, he's amazing.
He's the legendary man of nine winning streak...
who glorified King of Mask Singer with his charming voice and stage.
We will now say goodbye to Ha Hyun Woo of Guckkasten.
Please give him a big hand.
(You'll forever be the Music Commander in My Town.)
(He bows to all the audience.)
You've been great all the while.
We'll now bid farewell to him.
(He exits like a commander.)
Thank you, Hyun Woo.
(As he wished, he steps down with his mask on...)
(to return to being Ha Hyun Woo in 20 weeks.)
Well, I feel...
great and sad at the same time.
This is what it feels like...
to step down from the throne.
(This is his last entrance to the king's waiting room.)
- Well done. - Great job.
Now that I'm leaving,
they welcome me with an applause.
There was nobody before.
(Good bye.)
Could you give us the start sign?
Clap once, please. In 1, 2, 3.
- Hello. - Hello.
It's been a while.
Yes, it's been a while.
I'm Ha Hyun Woo from Guckkasten.
Actually, I asked to come...
and perform on King of Mask Singer.
I went to a restaurant the other day,
and the lady there recognised me.
It felt nice.
And then she asked why we're not performing...
and why we are dormant.
In fact, we've been less active...
due to many events that happened to us.
But we've released a studio album recently...
and performed at shows and concerts.
But she didn't know about any of it.
And I realised that...
performing and making music isn't the end of it,
and that we should say hello to people...
through television shows and show our faces.
That's why I decided to come.
(He decided to perform to say that Guckkasten is live and well.)
(The record of 151 days of Ha Hyun Woo, the Music Commander)
(January 7, the first joint session day)
Hello.
(He presses the mask so that it won't slip off.)
(Wait a minute.)
(He looks older than current Music Commander.)
At first, I had a concept of a nutcracker.
A nutcracker has teeth that crush walnut,
so its jaws were broader back then.
But it totally changed in March, just before "Lazenca, Save Us".
I wanted the face to look softer.
And to make the face look longer,
I attached and detached the sideburns.
I cut out a great deal of his chin.
I also bloated the chick.
(It's the first day of practise with the old commander mask.)
(He always concentrates on singing.)
(But then,)
(the cap slips off his head.)
(He's so absorbed that he dropped the cap.)
(Music director picks up his cap.)
(Here's your cap.)
(You have to wear the cap.)
(He practised with an old face and grey hair.)
(First day with a young Music Commander's face.)
(Excited)
Catgirl,
to the throne that you're sitting on,
I will...
march forth.
(I'll march forth.)
(On the first day he bravely made an entrance,)
(he overthrew Catgirl's reign.)
It's the birth of a male King of Mask Singer.
He's the first male King of Mask Singer...
in 28 weeks.
Now the owner has changed.
(He was crowned with the golden mask.)
(He steps carefully.)
(The new king had to rely on the guards because he couldn't see.)
I'll get your mike.
(He's dazed.)
(He's lost.)
(Even his gown was dragged.)
(But he managed to exit cheerfully.)
(January 26, the second day of shooting)
(His thick coat tells the weather.)
This is the waiting room for the king.
(Sticking)
(Wow, this is good.)
(He looks around the room.)
Wow, this room is nice.
I like every bit of it.
(He seized the stage with overwhelming charisma.)
(Who's Music Commander?)
(He set many new records.)
(His experimental stage was always the centre of issue.)
(Even the original singer of "Hayeoga", Seo Tai Ji, praised him.)
(He became a music tyrant.)
(Viewing rate proves the public's intense interest.)
(Everywhere Music Commander went,)
(he wrote a new history of King of Mask Singer.)
Music Commander won.
He won nine consecutive times for the first time ever.
I get very nervous.
I've never slept more than two hours at home.
(On the day of shooting,)
(there is only the mask in the king's room.)
(He sleeps deeply in the waiting room.)
As soon as other singers finished performing,
I'd turn off the light and sleep.
I think it helped me a lot.
I like the sofa in the station.
It's more comfortable than my own house.
Hyun Woo,
we have to go for a rehearsal.
(He'd look dopy from the fatigue,)
(but in rehearsals, he would be Music Commander, the music tyrant.)
(He never lost a breath on stage for 151 days.)
Hello,
isn't the weather lovely?
(He came in a thin spring jacket.)
Isn't it?
Hello, nice to see you.
(They don't answer.)
I'm so lonely.
There are so many people around me,
but nobody would talk to me.
(Oh, my.)
Thank you.
Have a nice day.
(He naturally enters his room.)
How much is this armchair?
I'd like to take this home and sit on it.
(He wants to sit on the king's armchair everyday.)
(As he wished,)
(he got to sit on it for 20 weeks.)
I'm so lonely.
How much time do we have?
(Has the time stopped?)
(He's playing game on his own.)
(Long waiting hours made him the master of self-playing.)
(I learned to play by myself in King of Mask Singer.)
I'll see if you broadcast this or not.
(I'll see if you broadcast this or not.)
(Jumping)
(He's being playful.)
(But when he's practising for the show,)
(he's the most diligent student.)
(Let's go)
(Wow, fantastic baby)
(He always comes to the session room looking tired.)
(He didn't shave his beard.)
(He only concentrates on the practise.)
(He continuously practises...)
(no matter what song he performs.)
(Astonished)
(Ha Hyun Woo was neither talkative nor sleepy in the face of music.)
(He was Music Commander himself.)
(After his final stage)
- You did a wonderful job. - Thank you.
(Thank you.)
This interview room is right across the hall from my waiting room.
After a really long time,
I entered this room.
In King of Mask Singer,
you have to move people's heart...
only with your voice.
So, I thought about how I could...
show you different and diversified stages with my voice.
I thought about it really hard.
It was the first time in my life...
to sing a song that many times.
I sang even in my dreams, too.
So I didn't feel so refreshed...
even after a good night's sleep.
I think I was under a lot of pressure.
It felt amazing after I took off my mask.
It felt different than I imagined.
I thought I would feel sad if I took off my mask...
because I got attached to this show.
I really got attached to it,
so I thought I would be sad.
As I took off my mask,
(Everyone told me that I have done a great job.)
everyone told me that I have done a great job.
They consoled me and smiled at me while applauding.
Thanks to that, now I can...
leave the show happily...
with gratitude.
(It wasn't as sad as he imagined.)
So it felt good. I felt happy.
Now I can finally call him by his name Ha Hyun Woo.
You did a wonderful job.
When I was having a hard time,
I listened to your great songs. Thank you.
I can't believe I won't see him from next week.
This is really sad.
You did a great job. I can't imagine how hard it must have been for you.
Eat a lot of delicious food,
and I hope you gain back the weight you lost.
You made us very happy.
I hope you will continue to have great performances without the mask.
I'll look forward to your great band music as a member of Guckkasten.
Go, Hyun Woo!
I really am grateful for all you've done.
You were...
(You were...)
so great. You're the best.
I'll look forward to your music. Go, Guckkasten.
Hello everyone. Music Commander was...
me, Ha Hyun Woo.
I hope Music Commander in My Town...
will always be cherished in your heart.
Should we say farewell?
Thank you everyone. I wish you well.
(Next week)
Promise me that I can perform a congratulatory stage.
You promised me.
I'll show you a great stage.
(Music Commander returns to keep his promise.)
(You'll see a legendary stage once again.)
