(Music Commander in My Town)
(Finally)
(For the past 20 weeks, he made the viewers dream with his songs,)
(and his identity has been revealed.)
(This is his first appearance on a talk show.)
(Stories that were hidden behind his mask)
I drooled a bit while I sang.
When someone yelled, "Music Commander!"
- You looked back, didn't you? - Yes.
(Unpredictable)
(The singers of "King of Mask Singers"...)
(have gathered for a mysterious talk show.)
(The episode on their outstanding voices starts now.)
Today...
Take off your mask
We are with excellent vocalists as the guests.
- You sang the melody correctly. - Did I?
Gook Jin's heart has been tickled pink these days.
His heart has been tickled pink.
He is the chef of love.
(He has cooked a birthday meal for Kang Susie.)
This is...
Your Voice Is Outstanding Special.
Our first guest won nine times in a row on "King of Mask Singer".
For 20 weeks, he remained the King of Mask Singer.
His occupation might as well be "King of Mask Singer".
Perhaps because people are used to seeing him in a mask,
no one recognises him even though he revealed his face.
He feels like he should wear the mask again. He is...
He is...
Music Commander in My Town, Ha Hyun Woo of Guckkasten.
Kim Seong Ju is better at it.
(Discouraged)
We also have a guest who is an expert at being eliminated.
(Tei's special talent is being eliminated.)
In 2011, he got eliminated right away on "I Am a Singer".
He competed twice on "King of Mask Singer",
but he never made King of Mask Singer.
It makes my heart ache
Beggar from Last Year, Tei.
She is a sexy idol singer with amazing singing skills.
She performed at "I Am a Singer" and "King of Mask Singer".
She is not a rapper, but also performed at "Unpretty Rapstar".
She loves competitions and appears on every show.
Last March, she said "How Dare You" and challenged Music Commander.
She did "Push Push", but lost in a way that is "So Cool".
This is Here Comes the Spring Girl, Hyolyn of SISTAR.
He looks like he would be a very good singer.
Last April, he fell prey to Music Commander as he won again.
He says he is here to outshine Music Commander this time,
but I frankly have no idea who he is.
(Han Dong Geun)
Our guests today are people who lost to King of Mask Singer.
He marked the end of "Star Audition: The Great Birth"...
as he became the last winner This is Please Vote, Han Dong Geun.
Han Dong Geun.
He is as obscure a winner as Parc Jae Jung of "Superstar K".
Really?
- Hyun Woo. - Hello.
Guckkasten, Tei.
Dong Geun, close the door.
(He is nimble as he is the youngest guest.)
Dong Geun should close the door.
Please say hello to the viewers.
Hello, everyone.
I am the vocalist of Guckkasten and Music Commander, Ha Hyun Woo.
All right.
His looks are plain.
(Friendly-looking)
He looks like an IT guy with an employee ID card...
who works at Guro Digital Complex.
Tei, please introduce yourself.
Even though I host a radio programme and appear on musicals,
my parents asked me if I became a nobody since I don't appear on TV.
To make my parents happy, I visited Radio Star after seven years.
I am Tei. It's good to be here.
His hair looks like Kan Mi Youn's back in her Baby V.O.X days.
- Really? - It's nice.
I haven't seen that hairstyle in a while.
That's hilarious.
It looks a bit like Moon Hee Jun's old hairstyle.
(Is it an homage to Moon Hee Jun?)
Hyolyn, please introduce yourself.
Hello, I am Hyolyn of SISTAR.
You struggled a lot on "Unpretty Rapstar".
(She appeared on a competition programme for rappers.)
All right.
Okay.
What is Hyolyn doing here?
She didn't perform like a rapper.
Rapper on the last place is Hyolyn.
(She placed last after the first mission.)
- She is the best vocalist. - She didn't ask to be coddled.
She struggled so much on the programme.
I think it's a good idea to challenge yourself.
- You looked cool. - Kyu Hyun is like a bird in a cage.
He doesn't come out of his cage much.
I like staying in my turf.
I think it's better to challenge yourself like Hyolyn.
It's admirable.
Next time, try something traditional like madangnori.
(Will she try madangnori next year?)
Dong Geun, please say hello to the viewers.
Okay.
(He looks for the right camera to look at.)
- You don't need to turn around. - There is the camera.
He is like Jae Jung.
When they are left alone,
Jae Jung will punch Kyu Hyun in the face.
It's not like I can punch Gu Ra.
My memory is soggy.
- Soggy? - I meant to say "foggy".
- He is ridiculous. - Soggy!
He is worse than Jae Jung.
- I am not familiar with this. - Look at the camera and say hello.
Hello. I am a singer, Han Dong Geun.
(He shows his killer smile.)
(What was that?)
He is a strange man.
- What is up with him? - He is worse than Jae Jung.
I love Radio Star and it feels like I am watching TV right now.
- I am filled with veneration. - Are you a solo artist?
"I am filled with veneration"? Not many people talk like that.
I can tell that things will be a bit "soggy" today.
(Dong Geun is predicted to show interesting choice of words.)
Hyun Woo set many records as Music Commander.
He won the most number of times on "King of Mask Singer".
Videos of his performances got over 20 million views in total.
The viewing rate hit 21.8 percent when he revealed his identity.
Every recording of his performance ranked first on music charts.
However, Guckkasten's new song barely placed 100th.
"Pulse".
No, it did rank first.
- It didn't rank first on MelOn. - It did on other music charts.
It's important to rank first on MelOn music chart.
MC Gree ranked first on it, too.
(MC Gree ranked first on MelOn music chart.)
Hyun Woo, I heard that you wanted to promote your new song.
(Did he only remember it now?)
- Isn't that what you said? - You are the one who asked.
- Why do you pretend otherwise? - Seriously.
- He is a good actor. - No, it's not that.
- What was that? - It took me a moment...
because I remembered that I didn't bring my guitar.
- Wait, there it is. - You have it.
- Don't act like you didn't know. - "Wait, there it is."
Was it always there? I had no idea.
- Come on, Hyun Woo. - How strange!
He is a celebrity through and through.
I thought I had to bring it myself.
- It was here. - Will you sing "Pulse"?
- Yes, this song is called "Pulse". - "Pulse".
(The song starts with the sound of heart rate monitor.)
(Beating faintly are the pulses I have buried)
(His voice makes everyone quiet down and pay attention.)
(It's a comforting song.)
(Proud)
- Can I sing the chorus? - Do it.
(In my beating heart)
(In my widening eyes)
(His voice is pure.)
(His voice explodes as he hits the high notes.)
(Music Commander is the best.)
(He doesn't look satisfied.)
- That was amazing. - Are you satisfied with it?
No, it was my first time singing as I played the guitar. It was hard.
I could feel his energy even though he only sang a few bars.
This song currently ranks 100th, right?
No, I told you before.
- Except on MelOn music chart, - You seem upset.
- the song is doing rather well. - It's not on MelOn music chart.
- What is the title of the song?
"Pulse". It moved down a few places now.
- It is on 100th place. - Listen.
It is on 100th place.
- It is on 100th place. - It is higher on other charts.
This song has placed first on other music charts.
- Look it up. - Let's look it up.
- Go to Naver. - My goodness,
- is that really necessary? - It will give us an objective view.
- It is in 22nd place. That's good. - It is in 22nd place.
- Is it in 22nd place? - Yes, 22nd place.
I didn't know you were someone who clings to the placing.
(I didn't know you were someone who clings to the placing.)
How do you feel about Music Commander...
ranking higher than Guckkasten?
Both Music Commander and Guckkasten are me, so I don't mind.
- I like it either way. - You know, a band like YB has...
less popular members such as the guitarist or the drummer.
Such members should enjoy the economic gain as well,
- but only you seem to be winning. - To be honest,
singers don't make a lot of money with digital singles.
Money comes mostly from performing at events.
We divide the profit from such occasions equally.
Members are very happy to get more gigs.
They are always worried that I might get hurt.
(Guckkasten is love.)
Hyun Woo didn't listen to his mother when she wanted him...
to perform at "King of Mask Singer".
The server at a diner he frequents said, "I rarely see you on TV now."
Her words made him appear on the programme.
It wasn't a diner I frequent. It was my first time visiting the place.
Every time my mother watched "King of Mask Singer",
she told me that I should enter the programme...
and perform on the stage.
Since no one recognises my face, I wouldn't even to wear a mask.
Your face is practically a mask.
I told her that it's meaningless. A server at a restaurant told me...
that she saw me at "I Am a Singer" and became a big fan.
She asked me why I don't sing anymore.
Guckkasten was having a concert after releasing its second album,
but she said people who are busy like her cannot go to concerts.
She only had time to watch TV and asked me to perform on a show.
Thus, I asked the production team if I could appear on the show.
Did you visit the restaurant again to thank her?
I forgot the location of the restaurant.
- You were only passing by. - That's right.
I am sorry. However,
I still remember your face. I hope that...
You remember her face even though you don't remember the restaurant.
(Kyu Hyun clarifies him.)
Hyun Woo gave many performances as Music Commander.
He apparently had a crisis when he sang Big Bang's "Fantastic Baby".
(He sings extremely high notes.)
(He added his colour to the song by an idol group.)
(Music Commander always gave unique performances.)
I heard that the part that goes "Boom shakalaka"...
was especially hard for you.
(The charismatic T.O.P of Big Bang raps "Boom shakalaka".)
I tend to pay close attention to the lyrics,
but I couldn't figure out what "Boom shakalaka" meant.
Does it mean anything?
I didn't know how to sing it. Boom shakalaka
Boom shakalaka It sounded weird either way.
After much deliberation, I decided to sing it...
- as if I was casting a spell. - How did you sing it?
Boom shakalaka Boom shakalaka
(Music Commander whispered the part as if he was casting a spell.)
(Even his competitor was enchanted.)
You should have sung the part like Clon's "Kungtari Shabara".
That's what I think.
- How would that go? - Try singing it.
How would you do it?
- Kyu Hyun is in trouble. - How would you do it?
Sing it like "A Million Pieces".
(Boom shakalaka)
Maybe you should have sung it like that.
That's how it went in the original song.
- Didn't I exceed our expectation? - Yes.
(- Tell me that I did well. - You did well.)
Your last performance...
in which you competed against Job Seeker...
led to many speculations.
- Your choice of song was strange. - Your fans were confused.
Your choice of song wasn't as strong as the previous ones.
Since Guckkasten's nationwide tour is fast approaching,
it's possible that you purposefully revealed your identity...
to raise your value.
- Many people are speculating... - You did it to sell tickets.
whether you chose a lesser song to become eliminated...
for your commercial gain.
(He started off the performance with a unique whistling.)
(Overall, his performance of "Long Term Lovers" was average.)
I know there are such speculations.
However, since my goal was to sing a variety of songs,
I would have sung that song sooner or later.
I had planned to sing that song.
I am proud of the performance...
because I learned that adding a whistling sound to the song...
creates a beautiful effect.
I fully enjoyed my performance of "Long Term Lovers".
How are ticket sales for Guckkasten's concert?
- The tickets sold out. - I see.
- They sold out, right? - Yes.
Didn't they sell out after you were eliminated?
- Yes. - I knew it.
- It makes sense. - I knew it.
Did you perform at events during your time on the show?
- It's not prohibited. - I did, but only occasionally.
When I performed at events,
too many people in the audience screamed,
"Music Commander!"
I pretended not to hear them,
but I felt that many people love Music Commander.
Even if someone yelled, "Music Commander",
- you shouldn't have looked back. - You looked back, didn't you?
Yes.
(Embarrassed)
The three guests...
who visited Radio Star with Hyun Woo...
were because of Music Commander.
- They are sitting in that order. - They helped Hyun Woo grow.
- Tei, Hyolyn and Dong Geun. - I feel so uncomfortable here.
Your introduction made it worse.
- It's in the nature of the show. - It is.
(Hyun Woo's adventure in variety shows starts now.)
Among the three of them, did anyone almost beat you?
- Did anyone? - Was there anyone who did?
I thought I would lose to all three of them.
You thought all three of them will lose to you.
Yes. However...
You thought they will lose.
- No! - You thought they will lose.
(The other three guests are shocked.)
You should have said so from the start.
- I thought I would lose. - Don't lie.
- We liked you. - Why would you think that?
I was very confident during practices.
After each practice, I thought,
"If I do this well on the stage,"
"it will be an amazing performance."
I practised very hard.
However, standing on the stage was nerve-wracking.
Watching masked singers perform in the 3rd round...
- made me lose my nerve. - That's understandable.
In the end, the actual performance never lived up to the practice.
"I might lose this time."
I had that thought after every performance.
There were two performances during my time on the show...
that intimidated me the most.
- One was by Kim Kyung Ho... - It wasn't by any of these three.
and another one was by Hyolyn.
- Hyolyn. - She is an amazing singer.
Hyolyn's performance...
- What about Tei? - He visited the show twice, too.
It's not like that.
When we introduced other guests, it seemed like he was thinking,
- "Did I compete against Tei?" - It's not like that.
Like I said, all of them performed very well.
I lost to Music Commander with the smallest difference in votes.
I can't believe you counted the votes.
- I can't believe he remembers it. - You are wrong.
Kim Myung Hoon of ULALA SESSION won by a smaller margin.
(He lost by seven votes.)
Tei and Dong Geun have the same excuse...
for not becoming the King of Mask Singer.
They say they would have won had they sung a song of their choice.
- Which song did you want to sing? - Which song is it?
I wanted to sing "Laundry" by Lee Juck...
- or "Age" by Jong Shin. - Was "Age" among your choices?
- Why couldn't you sing those songs? - That's too bad.
Why couldn't you sing those songs?
Every time I gave them my choices,
they said that the songs are not well-known.
- They don't want obscure songs. - That's right.
- "Age" is definitely obscure. - No one knows the song.
- No one has heard of "Age". - I know.
There is nothing wrong with my age
(He sings to hide his frustration.)
I also wanted...
to sing a song by Jong Shin,
- but they turned it down. - Really?
- What is wrong with the producer? - It was "The Day Long Ago".
- "The Day Long Ago"? - Yes.
- Isn't that song well-known? - Why was it turned down?
Many of my songs were performed on "King of Mask Singer".
What was the reason?
Also, they didn't think...
"The Day Long Ago" was suitable for the final round.
- I see. - They thought the song sounds old.
(Dissing his song)
It's a depressing song.
- It would have been nice. - It's a very depressing song.
Tei, what did you want to sing?
I wanted to sing "Incurable Disease" by Hareem...
- or "Rain" by Lee Juck. - "Rain".
Since many artists have sung "Incurable Disease" and "Rain",
I thought the two songs would be popular.
They were still turned down.
Would you sing the song on Radio Star today?
- If you allow it, - Would you sing "Rain"?
- I want to sing "Rain". - All right.
I wanted to sing "The Day Long Ago" today,
but it was turned down here as well.
Why did you do that? MBC is discriminating against me.
- No, it's not. - There is no close relationship!
(Frustrated)
Hyolyn,
Tei and Dong Geun didn't get to sing songs of their choices.
You were eliminated...
even though you demanded to sing a song of your choice.
- Really? - Yes.
Since I have been on many competition programmes,
I was very stressed out...
about choosing a song.
It's nice to win at a competition,
but it feels different...
when you sing a song of your choice on the stage.
Which song did you sing?
I sang "Rainy Season" by Jung In.
"Rainy Season" is a good song.
(Sad lyrics of "Rainy Season" and Hyolyn's soulful voice...)
(created a wonderful harmony.)
I heard that the production team was unsure...
about her choice even during the rehearsal.
However, she surprised everyone on the stage.
Even I was surprised.
Why was "Rainy Season" allowed but not "Rain"?
(Why was "Rainy Season" allowed but not "Rain"?)
After Tei lost to Music Commander,
he stopped watching "King of Mask Singer"...
because he was eliminated twice.
I heard that you watched the show in curiosity...
when you found out that Music Commander has been eliminated.
My goodness.
What exactly were you feeling?
When I visited the show for the second time,
I decided to enjoy the performances without worrying about the result.
It was the most fun I had on a show.
Before I knew it, I had made it to the final round.
- I blame the production team. - I heard they gave you false hope.
They did. They said, "I watched Music Commander's rehearsal."
"Get ready to win."
(They gave him false hope.)
"You will definitely win today."
"Music Commander didn't choose a good song this week."
Which song was it?
- "Don't Worry My Darling". - That's right.
- That's an excellent song. - It was an outstanding choice.
(Thinking about it makes him angry.)
I didn't do a good job at the rehearsal.
- I had a sore throat. - That must be what happened.
The producer and the writers probably thought...
that I'd lose that time.
I sang my song without much expectation,
but I could feel how much the audience liked the song.
During the performance, they yelled, "Beggar, you are doing great!"
The performance was very well-received.
I was so excited. Then he sang "Don't Worry My Darling".
Hearing the first verse, I thought,
"He is not in his best condition."
"I might win."
In the second verse, he started hitting high notes.
The moment he screamed, the audience went, "What?"
(Screaming)
(He hit the high notes like there is no limit for him.)
(The audience was captivated.)
You never know what will happen.
He gave an outstanding performance. As you probably know,
you have to wait on the stage with the King of Mask Singer...
for the audience to vote after the final round.
It was the worst feeling in the world. I had never felt...
so humiliated in my life.
To be honest,
I came very close to being eliminated that day.
My jaw dislocated twice during the performance.
- Really? - Your jaw dislocated?
I knew you weren't in your best condition.
- Does that happen often? - Yes, it does.
- What do you do when it happens? - When it happens,
- I have to push my jaw back. - Really?
However, my jaw kept getting dislocated.
I drooled as I hit high notes.
I see.
That's how desperate you were.
I see.
It must be because you open your mouth wide when you sing.
Try singing like Cho Yong Pil.
(He retracts his lips.)
(Laughing)
That's a good idea.
It will fix your problem.
You should try singing like this.
Bounce, bounce Sing like that.
(This is how you fix a dislocated jaw.)
Hyolyn,
you didn't know about the identity of Music Commander...
even though everyone else had guessed it.
Since I don't watch "King of Mask Singer",
I didn't know who he was.
Did you not know who I was when you competed against me?
- No. - That's incredible.
(He's actually impressed.)
Hyun Woo thinks he is a star.
- No, I don't. - Did you see his reaction?
He thinks everyone should know him.
He was like, "How did you not know what I was?"
- "How is that possible?" - He is ridiculous.
You seemed very surprised that she didn't now your identity.
You have never been more surprised in your life, right?
Maybe his jaw will become dislocated again.
(His jaw dislocated again.)
Hyun Woo and Tei have similar looks.
Tei claims that they are the ugly version of Park Hae Jin.
Hyun Woo looks a bit like Kim Dong Ryul.
- He does. - He looks like Kim Dong Ryul.
They both have bags under their eyes.
We look like frogs.
There are a few celebrities who look like frogs.
Hyun Woo has made me upset once.
When I was in a band...
- Oh, is Hyun Woo older than you? -Yes.
(Sudden verbal abuse)
Tei is pretty old.
- That's right. - He is pretty old.
- He debuted when he was young. - I debuted when I was 20 years old.
I didn't look like a 20-year-old at the time.
- How old are you? - Weren't you born in 1982?
- I am 34 years old. - I am 36 years old.
- Hyun Woo was born in 1982. - I was born in 1983.
When I met him for the first time,
he said, "People told me that I look like you when I was young."
But he's older than me.
I never imagined he was younger than me.
I never imagined it.
I thought Tei was older, too.
- Really? - Yes.
After I heard that,
I became a bigger fan of Guckkasten.
I stopped hearing it after he became the Music Commander.
They started saying he looks like Park Hae Jin.
I felt betrayed.
In the Frog Team,
Hae Jin is at the top.
- He's the best-looking. - Do you all have round eyes?
After that,
- there's Yoon Do Hyun, - He looks like a frog, too.
Kim Dong Ryul, Ha Hyun Woo and I.
What team is he in?
(He thinks carefully.)
- A toad? - Maybe a dumb frog.
I think he might be a dumb frog.
(I'm an orc.)
Don't talk about yourself like that.
He's from Hollywood. What do you mean?
Dong Geun, are you younger than Hyolyn?
I was born in 1993.
What about you, Hyolyn?
I was born in 1991.
He's younger?
Hyolyn!
(Sudden outburst)
I wanted to tell you that your face is really small.
(I wanted to tell you that your face is really small.)
That surprised me.
It's so small.
Be nice to him.
Isn't Hyolyn charming?
When I saw her in pictures,
her face looked so flat.
(Her face looked flat?)
(Everyone collapses.)
That's what I thought.
On the screen?
(She's become a bean bun.)
She's so beautiful in person.
On the show, she's known as Wong Fei-hung.
(On the show, she's known as Wong Fei-hung.)
Hyolyn talked about singing "Rainy Season" by Jung In.
While you practised the song,
I heard you cried a lot while thinking of someone.
When I decided to sing "Rainy Season",
I sang while thinking of something.
I was so lost in the lyrics.
(I cried because I was lost in the lyrics.)
- Someone from the past? - Who was it?
Was it a person?
It wasn't a person.
My cat got sick and passed away.
She's a cat lover.
While singing,
sometimes you feel like crying...
- because of the song lyrics. - Right.
What do you do?
I hold it back. If you let go,
your nose get stuffy and your throat closes.
- I see. - You can't sing live.
Right, you can't maintain control.
What do you do, Hyun Woo?
That happens to me once in a while.
I stop thinking about the current lyrics.
All I think of are the next lyrics.
Have you ever dislocated your jaw while crying?
No.
That's like Wheesung.
(He sounds like he's in pain.)
You're making a lot of jokes today.
You're joking a lot.
You're focusing on Hyolyn a lot.
I guess you're a fan.
I heard you want to be on "We Got Married" with her.
Really?
I've always been a fan.
- I've always... - My eyes nearly popped out.
(I was so surprised.)
It's so unexpected.
When I was on "King of Mask Singer",
I really fell for her voice.
Her voice is the best.
You want to be on "We Got Married" with her?
He'll have a hard time.
(He smiles.)
He has to endure it.
(They got married?)
What about you, Dong Geun?
I'd be happy with anyone.
(Don't you want to be on "We Got Married" with Hyolyn?)
Would you want to do it with me?
Did he just ask her?
"Would you want to do it with me?"
- I just asked. - That's great.
Dong Geun has a unique way of speaking.
- It's charming. - Isn't it cute?
Yes, it is.
Thank you.
(Thank you.)
(How cute.)
Would you be interested in doing "We Got Married" with Hyun Woo?
I think the show would be fun.
My personality is a bit...
They asked if you want to do it with me.
- With Hyun Woo. - I see.
I'd be happy to.
What about Dong Geun?
I'm happy with either of them.
- It's fine. - Don't lie.
(Don't lie.)
(She's flustered.)
Dong Geun's voice sounds like...
a chubby cartoon character.
(He's like a chubby cartoon character.)
He's like the character from Doraemon.
"I want to do it, too."
"I'm going to do it."
(He's laughing.)
Hyolyn is the main vocalist in SISTAR.
Why did you go on "Unpretty Rapstar"?
Shouldn't Bo Ra be on it?
I'm the main vocalist and rapper.
Why were you on the show?
It was a good thing.
Anyone would have felt the same seeing it.
He really likes you.
You should go out.
It's not like that.
When I didn't know Hyolyn...
and I heard she was appearing on the show,
I thought she was challenging herself even though...
- she's not a rapper. - That's great.
Anyone could see that.
He's covering for her.
(He volunteers to be Hyolyn's spokesman.)
You're already her husband.
(You're already her husband.)
On the show,
Yu Bin from Wonder Girls dissed you.
- Yes. - It was a big battle.
"She's a lip-syncing ghostwriter who makes a lot of mistakes."
Say it correctly.
(He's the rapping king.)
"Look at her mistakes."
Was this a reference of Bo Ra?
Yes.
"Your SISTAR isn't here."
"Soyou can't hold the title of rapper."
- They included other members. - Bo Ra and Soyou.
It was a diss.
(She brought up other SISTAR members.)
(Her expression froze.)
I wasn't upset.
I just don't have any grudge against Yu Bin,
but I had to diss her on stage.
When I went on stage, I just listened.
I had to get angry in order to get it right.
- You're a method rapper. - What happened?
When I heard the other members' names,
I wondered why she was bringing them into it.
That was Yu Bin's strategy.
All of a sudden...
What happened?
Did you call her Park Jin Young's slave?
I told her to stop saying she loves Jin Young platonically.
You should've gone further.
Jin Young lost that one.
It was hard to write lyrics...
when I don't have any bad feelings toward Yu Bin.
Can't they compliment each other?
- No. - Think about it.
That's not how the genre works.
"I want you, Soyou."
Why do they have to insult each other?
Just like rock music, rap is rebellious as well.
It's not like that any more. Rock isn't always rebellious.
Rock music with greetings.
"Happy new year!"
He's making a lot of jokes today.
He's joking too much.
After your seventh win for singing "An Invitation to Daily Life",
you were speechless when you were interviewed.
The subtitles stated, "He's crying."
(After the Music Commander won his seventh victory...)
(He's overwhelmed.)
(It's time to hear how he feels.)
Well...
(He's speechless.)
(He's crying.)
Did you really cry?
No, but I was close to tears.
I needed a moment to hold back my tears.
On "King of Mask Singer,"
I didn't cry either.
I was just rubbing my eyes, but the subtitles said I was crying.
It happened twice.
Are you crying, Gu Ra?
(He was just blowing his nose.)
(The panellists are drowning in sadness.)
(He's rubbing his nose.)
(I'm so tired.)
The only liquid in his body is saliva.
(He only has saliva.)
When Hyun Woo took off his mask,
he made Shin Bong Sun cry.
What happened?
- Bong Sun is... - Go ahead.
She's really charming.
The way she listens to the music...
makes her look so beautiful.
I'm tearing up. How embarrassing.
Bong Sun...
is crying now.
I knew it.
What will you do? Take responsibility for her!
I'm sorry.
Bong Sun was always...
upbeat and lively on shows.
On "King of Mask Singer", the way she listened...
was the complete opposite of my image of her.
She looked so beautiful as she listened to the music.
I fell for her unexpected charm.
When I sang "An Invitation to Daily Life",
I looked at her while I was singing.
I was on a programme that breaks stereotypes.
Bong Sun shattered my preconceptions.
That's what I said.
I guess she was initially unhappy about her public image.
I think that's why she cried.
I think Bong Sun might...
be hormonal.
Isn't that too much?
Already?
That's not what I mean.
She tends to cry easily.
- She does? - Yes.
I think it was edited out.
- I think so. - It was edited...
because it was too ugly.
She kept crying.
(Exclusive edited footage of Bong Sun sobbing)
As an entertainer,
there weren't many people who saw me that way.
Thank you so much.
I'm grateful that I have heard you sing.
Thank you for acknowledging me.
You can see a person's true self while they listen to music.
Hyun Woo's flustered.
(Hyun Woo is flustered.)
She loves him.
Why are you ruining the mood at the end?
(It was edited out because she couldn't get it together.)
Hyun Woo surprised everyone...
with his incredible vocal range.
What song had the highest note?
- It was "Waiting Day by Day". - That's a tough one.
While singing that,
I wasn't sure if I could hit the note.
- It's not falsetto, right? - Right.
Can we hear some of it?
(He's anticipating.)
(His voice keeps rising.)
(He's belting.)
(His powerful voice fills the studio.)
Wow.
What about you, Dong Geun?
Can you do it, Dong Geun?
- I can't do that. - You studied singing.
- You learned how to vocalise. - Yes.
- Get up and sing. - I think Hyun Woo hit E or F.
- You can hit E, right? - I can sing three octaves.
You can sing three octaves?
Play A in the third octave.
Men with a wide range can usually sing up to B.
That's really high.
- That's a woman's note. - You can sing this high?
Yes.
Hold on.
I used to be able to sing four octaves.
I used to be able to sing higher notes.
- That's insane. - I can't do it now.
Dong Geun is still standing.
He's still standing there.
Warm up.
(He suddenly starts belting.)
Don't do that suddenly.
- Wait for the right time. - I want to sit down.
No, you go ahead.
(He's warming up his voice.)
(Explosive high note)
You can sing really high.
It's like opera singing.
Can you do it?
(He screeches.)
What was that?
(The crows caw.)
Tei, didn't you invest in cows?
That was seven years ago, right?
- It was eight years ago. - That's such a long time.
What happened afterward?
I invested in cows to help out my grandmother.
Everyone else was investing in funds.
If I bought 2,600 dollars worth of female calves,
they could breed after a year.
Full-grown cows were worth 5,000 dollars.
- It doubles in a year. - Right.
The calves would then be worth another 2,500 dollars.
Right.
It had a return of around 200 percent.
I started investing in cows.
Then the US-Korea Trade Agreement occurred.
I was so disappointed. I invested for two and a half years.
Cow prices dropped to 2,500 dollars.
They were 2,600 dollars as calves.
It dropped lower than the calf price.
We expected it to drop lower,
so my grandmother and I sadly sold them all.
I was so upset.
When I passed by the FTA protests,
I joined in.
- You did? - I was serious.
Your eyes look like a cow's eyes.
(He resembles a cow.)
That became a problem when I joined the military later.
After the CBR training, I was called down.
A member of the Security Command was waiting.
The Defence Security Command?
- Yes. - Say it correctly.
It's the Defence Security Command.
- Is that right? - Yes.
Don't say the wrong name.
I was so scared.
(I said it wrong because I was scared.)
Someone from the Defence Security Command was there to see me.
I went to see him with tears running down my face from the gas chamber.
A frightening man was sitting there.
"Are you Kim Ho Kyung who has a graduate degree?"
"Yes, I am."
I confirmed my identity.
When you enter the military, there's a questionnaire.
"Who is our nation's main enemy?"
The choices are the US, Japan and North Korea.
Without hesitation, I chose the US.
Oh, my goodness.
- I had a bad experience. - Due to the FTA?
There was another question asking...
whether I participated in FTA protests, which I had.
He didn't recognise me due to the state I was in.
He kept on asking me for 30 minutes. I was so scared.
I realised I had to do something.
I started wiping my face.
I wanted him to recognise me.
After I wiped my face,
he started looking at me.
"By chance... Never mind."
He kept saying that, so I told him I was Tei.
I told him I was Tei, the singer. He said, "I knew it."
He scolded me and gave me snacks.
- However, - I ate while crying.
from a rancher's perspective, it's understandable.
It was so upsetting.
How are cows lately?
- I'm not involved in it any more. - It's not easy.
Why don't you invest with Ha Dong Gyoun?
Cattle drive singers?
(Cattle drive singers)
Tei, you're thin.
However, you're known to eat a lot.
You spend 3,000 dollars on food each month?
When I calculated my expenses,
I spent more than 30,000 dollars a year on food.
What do you eat?
My whole family eats a lot.
My younger brother also eats a lot.
For example, I eat 4 or 5 ramyeon at a time.
- By yourself? - The most I ever ate...
was 12 ramyeon at once.
- Really? - At once?
- For one meal? - Yes.
- He eats a lot. - Do you diet?
I have to work out a lot.
As much as you eat?
Since I eat a lot, there's a funny thing that always happens.
I've never been conflicted over what to order at a restaurant.
I was surprised when jamjamyeon came out.
I didn't understand how people could only eat half of each.
- You order two? - I always order both.
I always order the sweet and sour pork combo.
I order jajangmyeon and jjamppong with it.
- Even now? - Yes.
When I order delivery...
I order fried chicken, pizza...
and Korean food as well.
The funny part is that...
sometimes the deliveries overlap.
They meet in the lift.
They're all going to the same house.
They might think there's a party.
That's amazing.
Tei, did you ever participate in any...
eating contests?
I've done it before. In Hongdae, there are...
six people who succeeded in eating a jumbo ramyeon.
(The bowl is bigger than his face.)
Goodness.
(He's digging in.)
(He finishes off the soup.)
(The bowl is clean.)
Dong Geun is so envious.
Yes, I am.
I can't eat because my agency's president will get upset.
Even if you lose weight, your appearance won't improve.
That's what I'm saying.
You can tell just by looking at me.
Tei can do a lot of vocal impressions.
Can you do Lee Seung Hwan?
- He's really good. - Do Lee Seung Hwan.
(I don't want to run away)
(Big reaction)
Do Ha Dong Gyoun.
(Butterfly)
(I used to call you that)
Now do Shin Seung Hoon.
(I never asked)
(you to stay with me)
- It's similar. - Finally, you have something new?
I'll do Lee Se Dol.
- That sounds fun. - No one's done Lee Se Dol yet.
That's right.
His commercial speech really spoke to me.
Don't give up.
Don't waver.
You're doing great.
(They burst out laughing.)
Have you seen the commercial?
That's funny.
You might not realise it now,
but you'll think of me when you see the commercial.
(He captured Lee Se Dol's unique voice.)
(He's a talented guy.)
It's your turn, Dong Geun.
He can impersonate Tei and Hwanhee.
Do Tei first.
(You can go, my love)
(He's overdoing it.)
Why are you doing this?
- Why are you doing this? - During his concerts,
he does this with his shoulder.
That's what he does.
(Look at his shoulder.)
(His attention to detail gives chills.)
(Tei is downcast while Dong Geun is pleased.)
That side is funnier. Can you turn around and do it?
Like that.
(He's shaking his shoulder even more vigorously.)
(I think I'm a little late)
Right, that's it.
Good job.
Now do Hwanhee.
All right.
What's with his face?
(Everyone is shocked by the look in his eyes.)
- Why is his face like that? - What's with his eyes?
Leave him alone.
Do it again.
Is that it?
- No. - Look at his eyes.
What is it?
Look.
(His gaze is unfocused.)
(I'm crying from loneliness)
(I sigh because I miss you)
(I sigh)
(He adds a detail.)
That was great.
Wow.
He makes a lot of expressions.
Did you see him cover his teeth?
(It left a lasting impression.)
Your teeth are big.
- Thank you. - His front teeth are huge.
They're like a horse's teeth.
You have healthy teeth.
- Healthy teeth? - Yes.
Do you mean nice teeth?
(He has nice teeth.)
Dong Geun, I was surprised when I heard you were born in 1993.
- I get that a lot. - So were IU and Yoo Seung Ho.
(We are of the same age.)
It's sad but true.
- Dong Geun, is it true... - Yes?
that because of your appearances,
you're afraid of...
being in a lift with others?
It's not like that. I'm worried people might be afraid of me.
That's what it means.
Maybe because my eyes look fierce,
when people see me...
roaming around the street,
they often say, "What's wrong with that jerk?"
Some middle-aged women said that.
- He's adorable. - Is he?
- He's cute. - You shouldn't swear on a TV show.
(He should watch his language.)
You should say, "What's wrong with him?"
- That's right. - I've never seen a celebrity...
who acts like an ordinary person like him.
- Right. - He's too honest.
He's not as sophisticated as other normal person can be.
(He's not as sophisticated as other normal person can be.)
When I'm in a lift with a woman,
I usually stand in the front.
Sometimes, I have no choice but to stand behind them.
I then try to make them feel comfortable.
For instance, I sing along to what I'm listening to.
- I think that would be scarier. - You would look weird.
- It sounds weird. - It is.
I think it'd scare them more.
(Singing behind them would scare the ladies more.)
Hyun Woo, you had a lot of part-time jobs before your debut.
You got fired though.
- Yes. I got fired a lot. - At a cafe, store and gas station.
I like parfait very much.
I made parfait for myself once in a while.
Every time I ate it, the cafe owner saw me.
- Oh, no. - He thought I neglected my work,
so he fired me.
At the gas station, I put gasoline in a diesel car.
- That was a big mistake. - Exactly. He did wrong.
I realised it halfway of refuelling.
I couldn't stop it any more.
While I was refuelling,
I saw my work colleague gasping.
I asked him, "What's wrong?"
I realised my mistake and took my hands off.
What's worse, I almost filled up the car.
- That can cause a problem. - My coworkers...
- changed the gas. - They helped you.
It's a lot of work.
When you got fired from the part-time jobs,
you worked at construction sites long enough...
to build the whole building.
You need money to maintain a band. You need instruments and everything.
To make money for my band,
I worked at construction sites...
- until I was about 24 years old. - At construction sites?
Yes. I also worked at a fibreglass factory.
I moved the products.
I packed makeup products as well.
- I played music at night. - That's great.
Sometimes, when we performed in a club,
- there was no audience around. - I see.
There were dozens of empty seats in front of us,
but we had to perform anyway.
We said hello to the chairs.
"Hello, chairs. Thank you for filling up the room."
We performed for the empty chairs.
I see.
We're not like that any more.
Who is the richest member in your band?
It must be him.
- Is it really Hyun Woo? - I don't have much money now.
- Are you living in a rented house? - I live with my parents.
- I see. - I don't really...
It's rare that a rock singer lives with his parents.
- I wasn't... - You're supposed to rebel.
Rock singers usually don't live with their parents.
(Mum, Dad, I'm home.)
Hyun Woo is interested in physiognomy and fortune telling.
He studied about them.
In my 20s, I went through such a hard time.
I failed in everything I tried back then.
As I kept failing,
I started to feel sceptical about my life.
After I realised I was living in a cruel and tough world,
I became very careful not to get swindled.
I wanted to find a way to discern bad people from the good ones.
It's hard to see...
if a person I met is likely to deceive me,
- so I learned those things. - Physiognomy?
How does it work? You said we remind you of some images.
First, Gook Jin...
- reminds me of a reed. - I see.
He's swayed by the wind every time the wind blows like a reed.
However, he stays in the same place.
- That's a great comparison. - What about me?
- What about Jong Shin? - He looks like...
- a snake. - I knew it.
- You are right. - He's like a snake hiding behind.
You got that right. He's very sly.
- He always wriggles out of trouble. - That's right.
- He's just like a snake.
In other words, he's clever and wise.
- He's just like a snake. - He's a bit calculative as well.
- He's calculative indeed. - Right.
- What about Gu Ra? - I'm not expecting anything good.
- He's like a pebble field. - A pebble field?
- Please elaborate. - Walking on pebbles...
- hurts your feet sometimes. - He's very expressive.
However, he has his own principles and belief.
- Thank you. - He always...
- Not long ago... - Actually, he looks like...
- he has some pebbles on his face. - Thank you.
- He's like a pebble field. - Right.
Please read my face, too.
I was surprised when I first saw Kyu Hyun in person.
When I saw him on TV, he had this dull image.
He looked a bit vulnerable,
but he has very bright eyes and the corners of your lips...
- are slightly lifted. - Is that so?
Laugh lines are also very important for men.
- Those who have longer lines... - Is having deep laugh lines good?
are meant to be lucky and can save a lot of money,
so they live a wealthy life when they get old.
- Maybe I should draw lines. - Men who have short laugh lines...
- have much to worry about. - Gu Ra has short ones.
No, I don't. I have long laugh lines.
- Look at me. - Exactly. It stops here.
These are quite long. They're just the same as yours.
He's like a pebble field.
- He's amazing. - It's not important.
- Are you right-handed? - I am.
- May I see your palm? - Sure.
- He's reading Gook Jin's palm. - Please tell us.
- Please see if he'll get married. - Is he going to meet someone?
- He has someone special. - That's right.
- He's not meant to be alone. - However,
- I don't think he'll marry her. - Really?
He won't probably marry her.
- That's disappointing. - Susie will be disappointed.

(Hyun Woo reads Jong Shin's palm this time.)
You become curious about it.
- He has such deep lines. - Jong Shin is destined to earn...
and save a lot of money...
until he's in mid-50s.
- Really? - However, you spend a lot, too.
- Exactly. That's true. - You spend a lot of money.
I can see that from these lines.
- I have enough money to spend? - Yes.
Your head line stretches toward your face.
It means that you pursue...
- art and spirituality. - I see.
- You should stick with me. - My fate lines indicate I'm lucky.
- I'm meant to be lucky. - You have pretty lines.
I don't tell it to others.
(Gu Ra turns his hand over.)
- He turned his hand over. - I don't show it off.
- My lines show that I'm lucky. - Please read my palm.
- Read my palm, please. - He'll read everyone's palm.
Compared to their fate lines,
- yours are very faint. - Really?
Having faint lines indicates...
that you have a hard time being independent...
- and proactive in your life. - He's like a puppet.
- It's hard for you to change that. - He's like a puppet.
- That's what you lack. - He's like a puppet.
- You have people to help you out. - Everyone is into palm reading.
How about my love lines?
Your love lines tell...
that you're not very lucky with women.
(Kyu Hyun isn't lucky with love.)
I told you not to have your palm read.
I read palms just for fun these days.
- Right. It's really fun. - It's just for fun.
I should go and see another fortune teller.
(Kyu Hyun holds a grudge.)
Hyun Woo is quite eccentric.
Did you walk from Ansan to Gangwon Province for spiritual training?
- Yes. - Wow.
How many days did it take?
It took me one week to go there and come back.
- Did you sleep during the trip? - Yes, in a car park,
church, Buddhist temple...
- and in the woods. - A church and a Buddhist temple?
Did you sleep in the open?
- I asked the people there... - To let you stay there?
- to let me spend a night. - It was like a march.
- Is that true? - Yes.
I didn't bring any money.
I needed money to buy food,
so I went up to some elderly people...
and begged for 50 cents for a piece of bread.
Most of them gave me more than I asked for.
They would give me 1, 5 or 10 dollars.
What did you say to them when you asked for money?
First, I hunched my back like this.
(He hunched his back to be polite.)
- That's good. - I hung a bottled water...
like this on my backpack.
- It was dangling on my bag. - And then?
I said hello to an elderly man.
He said, "What do you want?"
I said, "I'm a student, travelling without money."
"I'm really hungry right now. Could you spare me 50 cents?"
- I see. - It worked on everyone I met.
(Everyone gave him money.)
Was it a spiritual training?
I thought I would...
- learn something from the trip. - I see.
I didn't learn much, though.
One thing I learned from the experience is...
that I have the potential...
- of pulling off anything. - You became confident.
Hyolyn, the last time you were here, you opened up...
- about your eyelid surgery. - Yes.
Is there anything else you want to tell us about?
I want to get my nose done.
- Oh, no. - Oh.
Don't do that.
- I want another eyelid surgery. - How do you want your nose to look?
- No. - No way.
It's the fastest way to ruin your career. Don't do it.
How much taller do you want your nose to be?
Listen to Dong Geun. He's sad to hear that.
- Give it up. - I want a sharper nose...
like other TV celebrities.
- A sharper nose. - Your nose looks fine.
- She looks pretty in person. - It'll ruin your group's career.
- Why? - Your nose suits your face.
Are you helping her out again?
- It suits her face. - You'll lose your unique charm.
- You might look weird. - You shouldn't do it.
Some people said that if I have a sharper nose,
- I would look fiercer. - Don't get your nose done.
If you get your nose done, I'll get jaw surgery.
Let's do it.
- You should. - I think it's a good idea.
- I'm trying to convince her. - You should get plastic surgery.
- Don't do it. - We're saying this...
- because we care about you. - That's right.
- She looks like a Barbie doll. - She does.
You should be in Disney World.
Why would she be in Disney World?
- Why would you say that? - She looks like a pretty doll.
Never get a nose job.
- You look charming as you are now. - I want to become prettier...
even if I have to change every part of my face.
Many people regret having plastic surgery.
- Exactly. - A lot of people regret it.
- That's why they keep getting more. - Almost all of them regret it.
It's hard to give it up.
I think it's better to regret what I've done than what I haven't.
Fine. Go ahead.
(Gu Ra bursts with anger.)
I tried my best to convince you. You should listen to others.
It's for self-satisfaction.
- That's not true. - Women do it for self-satisfaction.
- Don't get plastic surgery. - She'll learn a lesson.
- There's an alternative procedure. - Stop it.
- What's that? - I heard about it.
Oh, the injection?
You're trying to ruin her career because she's under another agency.
(You're trying to damage SISTAR's career.)
- Dong Geun studied in the US. - I was surprised to hear that.
Are you good at speaking English?
Yes. I have no problem having a conversation.
How long did you live in the US?
- I lived there for four years. - That's a long time.
Where in the US did you stay?
- In California. - In California?
He exaggerated the pronunciation.
- "In California." - He said it...
like a ventriloquist.
(He spoke like a ventriloquist.)
- When did you go to California? - That was funny.
I went to California when I was in 9th grade.
Now that I know it, you look like an overseas Korean.
- Here he goes again. - He looks like a Mexican.
- He's flattering him. - He suddenly compliments him.
(Now, he looks like an overseas Korean.)
Dong Geun likes confessing his love.
He said he had a crush on someone on "Star Audition: The Great Birth".
He confessed his love for Solji on "King of Mask Singer".
Usually, I confess my love...
once I realise that I have a crush on someone,
but everyone rejected me.
Were you rejected in the US, too?
Yes. When I was in the US...
Was she Korean American or American?
She was Korean American.
- I even went out with her. - You did?
My first kiss was with her.
(Gu Ra is surprised.)
On our 100th day anniversary,
I wanted to do something for her.
I decided to buy rings for us with the allowance I'd saved up.
I bought silver rings for 98 dollars. They were on sale.
I wanted to create a romantic mood before I give her the ring.
- You threw a surprise event? - Yes.
There were many big trees on a walking trail.
I picked one of those trees and piled up bricks around it.
Then, I put candles...
- on the bricks. - It sounds romantic.
So that she can stand in the circle?
I wanted to make it look like a wall of fire.
(He meant to make it look like a wall of fire.)
It took me one and a half months to prepare it.
- Just to pile up bricks? - It's not like that.
I didn't just pile up bricks.
I flattened the ground before that.
Did you flatten the ground as well?
It sounds like real construction.
He's like the little pig in "The Three Little Pigs".
(He's like 1 of the 3 little pigs in the story.)
I couldn't get a shovel,
so I used a branch to dig and my feet to move the dirt.
- That must have been a lot of work. - What happened next?
It was...
I was baffled because... I'll tell you the end first.
- She was cheating on me. - Oh, no.
She was cheating on you?
I called her over for the surprise event.
When I was about to begin,
she started crying and said,
"This isn't right." Then, she left.
- How did you pile up the bricks? - I'm curious about it, too.
I used hexagonal bricks.
- I laid them one by one. - Like a brick pavement?
- I piled them up in 10 layers. - Really?
That would have made anyone feel uncomfortable.
A high school boy built a brick wall.
- It's too much. - Let's ask Hyolyn.
- Would it make you uncomfortable? - Wouldn't you feel uncomfortable?
- How would you feel? - There's a brick wall.
If he were my boyfriend,
- I wouldn't feel uncomfortable. - He was mistaken.
He said it was for their 100th day anniversary.
That's what he thought.
How would you know she didn't think they were a couple?
You can tell what was going on by what he said.
That's so funny.
- Did you two say, "I love you"? - I'm sure they didn't.
- We were close. - You were close?
As friends or as a couple?
As a couple.
- We were intimate. - I see.
(We were intimate.)
We weren't supposed to end our relationship like that.
One day, I went to her house for private tutoring from someone else.
I saw her with my closest friend...
whom I hung out with all the time.
They were talking alone in the kitchen.
They were holding hands.
- Like in a drama? - Yes.
I saw them together as I was walking down the stairs after my class.
How did you react?
The moment I saw them,
I said, "What a jerk."
(He swears again.)
(He makes his story funny.)
- It's like in a drama. - Exactly.
- I was about to talk to them. - What happened?
- He came up to me and apologised. - He did?
- He said she had asked him out. - Really?
He said he was seeing her as he was lonely, but he'd break up with her.
What happened to the brick wall?
- I heard... - It probably became a relic.
I heard the area had become a tourist attraction.
- Exactly. - It's called "The Wall of Fire".
(The Wall of Fire is a famous tourist attraction.)
It feels like I just watched a short drama.
It was so funny.
- It was funny. - He's good at storytelling.
Why don't you say something to her?
Have a good life.
Shouldn't you say it in English?
Live well, please.
(That's ridiculous.)
- "Live well, please." - "Live well, please."
(It's an example of broken English.)
This is a story about Hyun Woo.
- Mr Choi Gyeong Min sent the story. - Do you remember him?
(He's confused.)
He wrote how Hyun Woo was in the military.
He wrote it in detail.
- "Number one." - This is very realistic.
"He wants to change the lyrics according to the situation."
- It's the way soldiers speak. - Right.
"He asked me to sing, 'A Letter from a Private' by Kim Kwang Seok."
I left home and took the train
"Did you really take a train here?"
"I'm sure you rode in a car. What car did you ride in?"
- "It was Rezzo." - Saying the model name...
- proves this is a true story. - I left home and rode in Rezzo
You should have sung, "I left home and rode in Rezzo!"
- "That's what he said." - That's funny.
That's so childish.
- You had fun in the military. - "Number two."
"He ate in an unusual way."
"We weren't allowed to eat until he checked..."
"if everyone's cooked rice was shaped like a heart."
You're so mean.
- There's always someone like him. - That's so childish.
- Is this true? - It's really childish.
"Everyone, shape your rice like a heart."
(I love you, Sir.)
It's true that I was peculiar.
- Right. - Is that so?
"Number three."
"He was good at funny dances."
"When the duty officer wasn't around,"
"he danced with one of his subordinates."
- Do you remember this? - Yes.
(He admits it.)
"Number four. He liked being slapped in the face."
That's ridiculous.
- What was that? - That doesn't make sense.
- He's so peculiar. - It doesn't make sense.
"Every soldier in the unit gathered because of repetitive thefts."
"He asked me to play rock-paper-scissors with him."
"He suggested the winner slaps the loser's face."
"It didn't seem appropriate, but I followed his order and won."
"I was hesitating to hit him."
"Then, he grabbed my arm and slapped his own face."
"I won the second round, as well."
"He slapped his own face again and looked so happy."
"Sergeant Ha Hyun Woo was a very unique superior."
- He was a very funny superior. - Do you remember this?
Yes. It's true.
It helped me get acquainted with my subordinates.
When I was on guard, I asked my subordinates,
"What did you do before joining the army?"
He said, "I was a hip-hop musician."
I said, "You were a hip-hop musician?"
"I'll do beatbox. You rap."
He asked me what he should rap about,
so I asked him for a freestyle rap about his military life.
I started doing beatbox.
(He does beatbox.)
He started rapping.
(The rapper in the military)
I hate being in the military
My immediate superior is so weird
He criticised me as he rapped.
(His subordinate criticised him.)
He says you were good at funny dances. Can you show us?
- It was a simple move. - Okay.
It would be funny if you imagine him in a uniform.
Jung Yup was a great dancer.
- That's Michael Jackson's dance. - Wow.
(He's quite good.)
(He starts a weird dance move.)
That was it?
It's a mopping dance move.
(He just looks like a man mopping the floor with his foot.)
- Is that a dance? - Yes.
(Hyun Woo looks serious.)
Show us one more time.
- It's a very unique dance move. - Soldiers can't listen to music.
Think you're in the army now.
(He starts doing beatbox again.)
(His dance move is still weird.)
(He moves his hands awkwardly, and his face looks awkward.)
What's that?
(He looks completely awkward.)
- What's that? - It was okay.
- Dong Geun, show us your dance. - They were watching him dance.
- Me? - Yes, please.
He looked like he was slipping on the floor.
- Sing while you're dancing. - That was hilarious.
You need music.
(He imitates Hyun Woo's beatbox.)
He's imitating Hyun Woo's beatbox.
- He's imitating Hyun Woo. - Music. You need music.
(Oh, music!)
(He starts beatboxing more loudly.)
(I am the king of dancing.)
Tei has been hosting...
his radio show for seven months.
- I've been enjoying your show. - Thank you.
You came up with a closing line to benchmark Sung Si Kyung's show.
What does Sung Si Kyung say?
Have a good night and sleep tight.
- I was under pressure. - I understand.
As my show is aired at the same time, I needed a closing line.
Because my show is titled, "Tei's Dreaming Radio",
- "Tei's Dreaming Radio". - everyone suggested, "Dream of me".
The phrase wouldn't come out of my mouth, though.
I felt awkward as I'm from Gyeongsang Province.
- You felt mortified. - That's right.
However, the staff wanted something including the word, "dream",
so I reversed the phrase and said I would dream of the listeners.
I hope you all will have good dreams,
and I'll dream of you.
- "I'll dream of you." - "I'll dream of you."
It sounds a bit like Chinese.
(It sounds like Chinese.)
Hyun Woo hosted an internet radio show until recently.
- Is that true? - Yes.
My band wanted to show something special on a regular basis.
Our show was titled, "Spam Radio" as in "email spam".
It was unexpected and unwelcome like an email spam.
Did you have any closing line?
I would say, "Everyone, goodbye, bye, bye, bye."
(Goodbye, bye, bye, bye.)
(He's proud of himself.)
He still has the same habits from the military.
(Goodbye, bye, bye, bye.)
You are watching a high-end music programme, Radio Star.
Our today's guests were re-evaluated through "King of Mask Singer".
The theme is the song they couldn't sing on...
- "King of Mask Singer". - "King of Mask Singer".
- This is the song that Tei chose. - I understand why he chose this.
It's "Rain".
- It's Lee Juck's legendary song. - I love this song.
- Did you want to sing this song? - Yes, I did.
Also, it was raining on my way here.
- It suits rainy days. - I thought it would suit the mood.
You used to be very popular with the nickname, "Prince of Ballads".
You always wore a beret on stage.
- That's true. - That's right.
(He wore a beret.)
(He wore a beret here, too.)
(He wore it all the time.)
Wasn't your nickname "Kim Jeon Il"?
From "The Kindaichi Case Files".
- From the cartoon series? - He always wears that beret.
- Why did you wear it? - Actually,
new singers don't wear hats because they need to show their faces.
A week before my scheduled show,
I turned on the stove too cook.
It made a clicking sound, but didn't turn on.
When I leant in closer to check it, the flames jumped up.
I burnt off the fringe I had been growing.
- All of it? - Completely. I almost got burnt.
- That's what happens in cartoons. - I know.
It happened to me. I looked in the mirror,
and my fringe looked like Sa Rang's when she first appeared on TV.
It was all gone.
I had no choice but to wear a hat, and people liked it so I kept it on.
- For "Love Leaves Its Scent"? - Yes.
- Yes, when I sang that song. - You had no hair.
That must've hurt.
(It's heartbreaking.)
Let's listen to Tei sing "Rain".
(Tei will sing "Rain".)
("Rain" by Tei)
(He's not Jaws from "King of Mask Singer" today.)
(Neither is he the Beggar.)
(Today, he has no mask on.)
(He can sing without any added pressure.)
(I believed I'd erased every trace)
(That was a foolish illusion)
(It's his trademark shoulder roll.)
(You loved the rain that falls around this time)
(The song suits his melancholy gaze...)
(and his husky, emotional voice.)
(The Prince of Ballads is back,)
(and he still got that smooth voice.)
(Finally, it's time for the highlight of the song.)
(He sings the high notes that help burn extra calories.)
(I shall burn calories by singing.)
(He has a unique way of burning calories.)
(With these notes, he's losing the fried chicken he ate.)
(Goodbye, pizza.)
(And finally...)
(He's losing calories like never before.)
(Exercise is done for the day.)
Thank you.
Well done.
- Are you pleased? - The song suits you.
- I feel much better. - You finally sang it on MBC.
Shall we listen to the song Hyolyn chose?
It's lovely.
("Rainy Season" by Jung In)
Jung In's song?
This song is...
Why did you choose this song?
The day I filmed "King of Mask Singer",
I had this terrible headache before I even started singing.
It was so bad that I had to take off my mask whenever I could.
I was waiting to come on stage to sing for the 3rd round,
and my headache was so bad that I took off the mask for a while.
Just then, they rushed me onto the stage.
I barely had enough time to put the mask back on,
and it kept falling down as I was singing.
Like this. The masks have small pieces of sponge...
strategically placed to help you sing,
and you can see through the laced eye holes.
My mask hung so low that the sponge ended up beside my mouth.
When I was singing, for example,
When I sang, "You are my sun",
I couldn't open my mouth properly because of the sponge.
When I came off the stage after singing, I thought that...
I could've done better if I hadn't taken off my mask.
I love the lyrics of this song.
- So you want to sing it again. - "Rainy Season".
- Did anyone's mask ever come loose? - No.
(Never)
(Okay)
I can't wait to hear Hyolyn's version.
"Rainy Season".
("Rainy Season" sung by Hyolyn)
(She captivated everyone with this song on "King of Mask Singer".)
(Music Commander was in the audience at that time.)
(I will let you go)
(So you don't get exhausted)
(Her husky voice is mesmerising.)
(I'm falling for her again.)
(Once you fall for her singing,)
(you'll never be free again.)
(I know and yet I cannot stop you)
(I'm angry at myself for being so foolish)
(That's why I keep crying)
(She fills the studio...)
(with her voice.)
(Music Commander is falling for her again.)
(His heart is beating fast.)
(The rain just won't stop falling)
(You can't help but fall for her.)
(He nods.)
She's so good.
She can really sing.
I loved that.
- She's the best. - I feel drenched.
I fell for her when she sang that song.
Good songs sound better after just one verse.
So you can go home early?
I love listening to the first verse only.
(It's the way I like it.)
- Thank you. - Now for Hyun Woo's pick.
("Footsteps" by Emerald Castle)
It's Emerald Castle's song.
Hyun Woo, can you tell us why you chose this song?
It was one of the songs I wanted to sing on "King of Mask Singer".
- If... - You should have.
- I didn't because... - If you sang this...
- He'd have won again. - He would have.
He'd still be wearing a mask.
He wanted someone else to win.
This song doesn't suit me very well.
When I sing a song, I usually picture myself singing it on stage.
When I imagined myself singing "Footsteps",
I didn't quite get the right feel, so I decided not to sing it.
I thought it would be nice to sing it on Radio Star instead.
I heard you're almost as serious a germophobe as Seo Jang Hoon is.
- Is that true? - That's serious, then.
When you wash your face, do you wash your hands four times?
Do you think your face is dirty?
(He's so funny.)
I have pretty good skin.
- You do. - But...
that's because I wash my hands four times before I wash my face.
- Look at his hands. - Come on...
What's wrong with Jang Hoon's skin?
It's because he sweats so much.
Athletes who sweat a lot tend to have skin issues.
In my case, when I wash my hands...
You should try this. It's not bad.
Wet your face with warm water.
I always pull my hair back with a headband.
When you're washing your face with soap or foam,
your fingers might touch your hair or your hairline.
If that happens, wash your hands.
The grease from your hair is bad for your skin.
- Hair grease? - Yes.
Wash your hands before resuming washing your face.
You have to wash behind your ears...
because grease builds up there. Wash your hands afterwards.
When that's all done,
rinse your face with cold water and then sort out your hair.
- Then wash your hands. - I give up.
Do you finish by washing your hands?
Yes. And one more thing. If your hair is wet...
after you wash your face,
you must blow-dry it.
Use your fingers, not your fingernails...
to ruffle the hair along the hairline when you dry it.
I never thought Music Commander would give us facial cleansing tips.
- You do have great skin. - What just happened?
Is this routine only for your face?
- No. - Everywhere else.
- Do you have a routine? - I have a process.
Surfaces that I will touch...
- have to be clean. - You're a germophobe.
What about bathroom door handles?
- That, too. - I use my arm.
I use my elbow, too.
- He's like me. - Some wait until someone comes in.
They rush out before the door closes.
- That's an exaggeration. - Will you stop it?
Did my joke work?
- We'll let you sing, then. - "Footsteps".
(He's free from the pressure of being Music Commander.)
(Now, he can be himself on stage.)
(At dusk, my footsteps led me somewhere)
(When I opened my eyes)
(I was at a place I thought I'd forgotten)
(My hatred for you)
(Still seems to remain)
(Now, I want to be free)
(Men sing this song in karaoke bars...)
(because hitting the high notes is like a mission for them.)
(People listening can't help but anticipate the chorus.)
(Hyun Woo sings very calmly,)
(as he lets go of the past 20 weeks he spent as Music Commander.)
(From the start, your existence)
(Was never a part of me)
(His voice explodes so clearly.)
(Even though he's singing along to a karaoke machine,)
(the whole studio is under his spell.)
(He's so relaxed that we want to raise the key.)
(This is his unique style and voice.)
(I pray that the day comes)
(When we can start over)
(For me, the man who can't love you)
(The man who has to hate you)
(He is truly a Music Commander.)
Well done.
That was great.
- I thought... - What a voice.
I was told that I could...
bring my band with me.
The production crew asked me if I wanted to bring Guckkasten on,
so I considered singing something else.
- "King of Mask Singer" was so long. - That's true.
It lasted months for me, and I wanted to...
be free from the stress of a competition.
- So I sang to the karaoke machine. - It sounded like a bazaar.
- A bazaar? - What does that have to do with it?
- He's free to do what he wants. - Why is this a bazaar?
We aren't selling anything.
I think listening to Hyun Woo singing to a karaoke machine...
- was quite different. - It was like a bazaar.
- Tea and cookies. - Who eats that at a bazaar?
(Kyu Hyun puts Gu Ra in his place.)
You entertained us with your performances...
on "King of Mask Singer".
We saw your passion, hard work...
and your will to try something new.
It was beautiful and I thank you.
We will say good bye here. See you next week.
- Please! - Please!
