Truthful voices fight against bias behind masks.
The mysterious music show, King of Mask Singer!
Last week,
he took his second win with this soulful performance.
The man born with rich sensibilities.
The 33rd and 34th King of Mask Singer,
Romantic Black Knight!
(Romantic Black Knight)
(You're so inspiring!)
(I'll gather all of your love...)
(and store it right here in my heart.)
With music that is as transparent as ice,
we will take bias from your ears.
I am your unbiased show host, Kim Seong Ju.
It's nice to meet you all.
(The unbiased show host, Kim Seong Ju)
(Yoon Hyung Bin)
Romantic Black Knight is the King of Mask Singer with sincerity...
who sings with his heart.
First, the King will say hello to all of our viewers.
(Clunking)
Sure.
(He's still not used to the mask.)
Hello. I missed you all so much.
This is Romantic Black Knight. It's nice to see you all again.
(I'm Romantic Black Knight.)
(Nice to see you, too!)
There's something he always carries with him.
He keeps a small notebook with him all the time...
and writes as he watches other singers' performances.
Some people even say that he's writing the...
Chronicles of King of Mask Singer.
He writes down everything without stopping.
Could you show us parts of your notes today?
- Sure. - I'm curious.
"Don't give up."
"Don't be discouraged."
(That sounds familiar.)
Don't give up.
Don't be discouraged.
(Is it Lee Se Dol's word of encouragement?)
"It's okay."
- "It's okay." - "It's okay."
"You."
"Black Knight, you're doing a great job."
(You're doing a great job.)
(He's embarrassed.)
You're encouraging yourself.
I guess you don't really feel confident,
from seeing how you keep encouraging yourself like that.
(His weak spot was stabbed.)
Do you think you'll be kicked out soon?
(That question woke him up.)
Sitting here for the second time.
Makes me want to stay longer.
(He sings merrily.)
(You're so cute!)
(Then he immediately gets depressed.)
Do you suffer from drastic mood swings?
(Do you suffer from drastic mood swings?)
- Yes. - He has a mischievous side,
and he looks like a prankster at times.
However, he changes completely when he gets on stage.
I actually practised very hard...
because I know how difficult it is to win three consecutive times.
I'll be performing one of my favourite songs,
so please look forward to my performance.
I see, that's great. The mysterious music show, King of Mask Singer.
Round One, the duet song match, will begin now.
Let's meet the first team!
(King of Mask Singer)
The first match of Round One.
The one and only voice that echoes over the ocean,
I Live Alone in Treasure Island!
(I Live Alone in Treasure Island)
(I came to find treasures.)
I will win all of your hearts.
(He's very eager.)
(I'll trade my treasures with the throne.)
(We're excited to watch your performance!)
He seems pretty relaxed.
- He seems fit. - Yes, he has a great physique.
Let's meet his opponent.
He says, "I roar all night long."
Mummy Says All Men Are Wolves!
(He makes menacing hand gestures.)
Ladies, I'm here to steal all your hearts.
(He howls.)
(Hello, Wolf!)
He's a wolf! He's super cute.
- I like his actions. - He's great.
I bet he has experience in acting.
(Two men are walking towards the stage.)
I don't think this is going to be good. Why are they both men?
You have to break your stereotype.
They haven't even started singing yet.
(Young Seok may complain, )
(but this is the most exciting moment for female panellists.)
(Both Treasure Island and Wolves are full of virility.)
(What kind of stage will they show us?)
("Soul Mates" by Solid)
- Oh, my. - I love this song.
("Soul Mates" by Solid)
(Its exhilarating rhythm makes you want to dance.)
(Two masked singers start to heat up the stage with their dance moves.)
Let's go.
- Treasure Island is a good dancer. - I think he's a singer.
Yes. Treasure Island dances well.
(His voice is slightly nasal and mellow.)
(His vibrato shows how relaxed he is.)
(He's good.)
(From his powerful rap, )
(you can somehow feel his wildness.)
(The rhythm is fantastic.)
(The song's exciting rhythm and...)
(his fascinating voice...)
(heat up the studio.)
(Surprised)
(He also sings well.)
(He's so great!)
(Treasure Island raps this time.)
(They're showing a great harmony.)
(They both take turns in rapping and singing.)
(Dancing)
(They're moving up and down.)
(It feels like a summer night festival.)
Yes!
Guitar.
(They're pretending to be playing the guitar.)
It's so exciting!
(It's such an electrifying stage.)
- Those two look like a duo. - I know, right?
(Like an old duo, )
(they show a perfect harmony.)
(House Band)
(Don't be sorry.)
(Dancing cutely)
(Their stage makes people keep dancing.)
(I love...)
(Palpitating)
(I love you)
("Soul Mates", a lovely song sung by Treasure Island and Wolves)
(It was so sweet.)
Wow. Hey!
- You should be a couple. - What?
- You shouldn't say that. - They look good together.
(He thinks they look good together.)
The first match of Round One is now over.
Between these two masked singers,
who will be the winner?
All votes are in.
Please say hello to the viewers. Treasure Island, go ahead.
Hello.
I'm I Live Alone in Treasure Island. It's good to see you.
All right. He has...
a very gentle voice.
Hello. I'm Mummy Says All Men...
- Are Wolves. - All right. He is...
wearing a wolf costume.
Let's hear Jang Hyuk's sharp observation of their breathing.
First of all, I think Treasure Island...
may have...
a cold. It sounded like he had...
a clogged nose. I don't think he showed...
his full ability. That's how it sounded like.
If singers...
have problems with their noses,
they can't breathe well.
- It's hard to sing that way. - I'll ask him.
Do you have a cold?
Well...
The mask is pressing my nose.
(He now realises why.)
It's because of the mask.
- He has a high nose. - He has a big nose.
- His mask is pressing it.
- That's why. - I see.
The way he came out to the stage and his various gestures...
show that he is a musical actor.
It felt like he was trying to show he is an actor.
Sure. A hand gesture could change everything.
As for Wolves,
I was surprised to hear his rap.
I think he is born with great vocal cords.
I can tell he has practised singing a lot.
But I think he may be a comedian.
- It's about time we had a comedian. - Yes.
- I think he may be a comedian. - I'll tell you what I think.
Since the animal costume looks very natural on him, he must...
- do his comedy in them often. - His comedy?
- Yes. - You think he wears them often.
Also, from the way he squatted on the ground at the beginning,
I can tell he imitates animals often. Could you show us again?
- You squatted down earlier. - He doesn't like to.
There you go. That is...
- very natural for him. - He's good at it.
I believe he not only squats down on the stage,
but also stoops down in real life as well.
- That's what I think. - Maybe someone told him to do it.
- Maybe he was following the script. - I don't think so.
I think he's someone who takes good care of his seniors.
Meanwhile, I found something strange. I asked Jang Hyuk about it.
They don't make holes on the mask near the ears, do they?
- They don't. - Do they, Dong Geun?
- I didn't make holes. - That's right. They don't.
(There is no hole.)
But he made holes near his ears. Look.
That's right. He did.
- He has three holes on each side. - Yes.
Why do you think he did that?
(He made three big holes.)
(Why did he do that?)
- Maybe he's wearing a hearing aid. - A hearing aid?
- You think he's an old man.
I remember some masked singers...
- had holes near their ears. - I think he asked for it.
- You think he made a request. - That's right.
Am I right? Did you make a request?
- Make a curse? - Yes.
- No. It's "request", not "curse". - He must be wearing a hearing aid.
I'm sure he is wearing a hearing aid. I'm sure.
- He can't hear well. Request, - They think you wear a hearing aid.
Needs, demand.
- I didn't. - You didn't?
I think there is...
- a secret behind that. - Behind the ears.
Ha Il Sung, the baseball commentator,
- has hair in the ear. - In the ear?
That's a symbol of a long life.
I think Treasure Island may have...
hair in his ear, too.
I think those holes are for...
ventilation.
I do have hair in my ear.
- He says he does have hair. - Really?
Gosh. How did you know that?
What a keen observation.
I'm absolutely sure that...
- Treasure Island is a singer. - You're absolutely sure.
He has a nasal voice that...
no one else can imitate.
Earlier, Jang Hyuk said he sounded like he had a clogged nose.
- Do you mean that, too? - No. His nose is fine.
Also, his nasal voice...
comes from a nose that is always wet.
A nose that is always wet?
- Doesn't that mean sinus infection? - Does he always wet his nose?
What I meant is that he always has that sweet nasal voice.
- I see. - Yes.
Many of classical singers have that kind of voice.
Opera singers, for example.
- It says here... - What does it say?
That Treasure Island...
- can sing opera. - Wow.
- Gosh. - He's the expert of vocal cords.
(He's the expert of vocal cords.)
He can sing opera.
Can you sing opera, too? Okay.
- Okay. - Let's hear...
(They'll sing opera together.)
their opera.
Please make some time for me
I want to take you somewhere.
(Hesitant)
Where is that.
(Oh my goodness.)
(Laughing)
Goodness.
(He's acting shameless.)
Could you do it better?
Ready, go.
Please make some time for me
I want to take you somewhere.
Where is that.
King of Mask Singer.
Are you saying that you want to.
Become the King of Mask Singer.
(He's good.)
Of course, I am.
Black Knight, wait for me.
(He gasps.)
Can I change my opinion?
- Do you want to change it? - Yes.
I said before that he might be a musical actor,
- but I want to change that now. - Okay.
- I think he is a singer. - Do you think so?
Jang Hyuk changed his previous opinion before it's too late.
- I have a question for Wolves. - Wolves?
Can't you mimic the actor, Yoon Moon Sik?
Your voice sounds like him.
- His voice? - I think he can do that.
Do you think he has a voice similar to Yoon Moon Sik's voice?
In fact, he can mimic the voice of...
Byun Hee Bong.
- I knew it. - He can mimic Byun Hee Bong.
His voice is similar to Yoon Moon Sik's voice.
- They are pretty similar. - Yes.
Byun Hee Bong's voice.
(How would Wolves sound like mimicking Byun Hee Bong's voice?)
(Loading Byun Hee Bong's voice)
(They are excited.)
"The panellists are sitting over there."
"I have a suggestion to make to you."
"I was thinking I could show off my singing talent to you...
"and you could cast a vote for me."
That's it.
That's was enough. That's it.
That was nice.
It is amazing, don't you think?
(Patting)
Okay.
I think I know him. Isn't he Han Chul Woo?
Lee Gyeong Gyu's friend.
I go to a movie with him whenever he asks me...
- to come with him. - Really?
Sometimes I even lie to him that I didn't watch the movie.
(In "Radio Star" a few weeks ago)
- You mean Lee Gyeong Gyu's friend? - Yes, he is Han Chul Woo.
We have Lee Gyeong Gyu's other friends here.
- I'm sure he is Han Chul Woo. - Is he Han Chul Woo?
As far as I know, Han Chul Woo can mimic only Lee Gyeong Gyu's voice.
- He must be Han Chul Woo. - I don't think he is Han Chul Woo.
That's why you are here.
Is that so?
You didn't know that.
- Is it why Yoon Hyung Bin is here. - I'm sure he is Han Chul Woo.
- His posture looks like him though. - He does look like him.
He looks tentative all the time.
All he does is either standing like that or kneeling down.
- I know. - There is one more thing...
he can mimic.
It is not a voice of a specific person.
He says he can mimic a voice of a man...
who sells dried cuttlefish in a truck.
Please show us.
"Cuttlefish."
"My father caught it."
"My mother dried it."
"And I sell it. It is dried cuttlefish."
(It is funny.)
I think I saw him in my town.
- He is good at it. - Hyung Bin, what do you think?
Some said he is not a singer.
But since his voice is low and can even sing opera,
I thought he was Han Dong Geun.
- Han Dong Geun? - But he is sitting right over here.
- Right. He's there. - I'm here.
- So I thought... - Do you have a twin brother?
You rotten dummy.
That was lame.
- I just thought so. - Is it rotten?
I think both of them are idol singers.
Both of them?
Idol singers practise vocal mimicry and dance moves very hard.
- I see. - So they've prepared.
- Okay. - But...
I don't think they are the current idol singers.
- What do you mean? - I agree that they are singers,
but they seem a bit old.
(Depressed)
They might be the first generation idol singers or even before that.
Like Noise or Zam.
- Noise? - He might be a rapper in the group.
(They were very popular dance groups in the early 1990s, )
(Noise and Zam.)
(They were popular around the same time.)
(Are they from the first generation idol groups?)
- That's my guess. - Those names are ancient.
- I got it. - Young Seok.
- Do you know who they are? - He got it. It sounds plausible.
Wolves is...
(Wolves is...)
Kim Seong Soo of Cool.
(Kim Seong Soo of Cool)
(He is a rapper with a husky voice.)
(He was very popular back in the 1990s.)
- Kim Seong Soo of Cool? - Yes, Kim Seong Soo.
You all agree that...
they used to be in idol groups.
In fact, they say they are good at dancing.
(Treasure Island's special ability)
He can dance to BTS's song.
Music, please.
(How good is he at dancing?)
(Powerful)
(Flashy)
(He looks the same.)
(Leaping)
(He is flexible...)
(and has good rhythm.)
(Swag)
(It turns out he is good at dancing.)
That was amazing.
(It was cool.)
It is Wolves' turn now.
He prepared some special dance moves...
for the Olympics at Rio de Janeiro in August.
It is called the Olympic Dance.
(What is that?)
Wolves prepared the Olympic Dance for today.
Music, please.
(The Olympic Dance begins!)
The Olympic Dance!
Dancing lightly.
That's archery.
(Shooting an arrow)
It is a breaktime. What is the next event?
(What is the next event?)
That's shooting.
(Shooting)
That's shooting.
(He is good at it.)
That's good. It's a breaktime.
What is next? That's football.
(Football)
(Kicking a ball)
We will win a gold medal!
One, two, three and four.
That's weightlifting.
(Weightlifting)
(Gasping)
Good job. He looks exhausted though.
It's okay. Keep dancing.
Hoping for a gold medal.
That's fencing.
(Showing flashy moves)
He can dance all through the night.
Thank you. That was nice. It is the Olympic Dance.
- It was for the Rio Olympic Games. - He must be a comedian.
Now I'm sure who he is watching his dance moves.
- What? - There is a comedian...
who is very good at singing. I think that's him.
Do you know who he is?
- He is one of my colleagues. - Your colleague?
(What?)
His name is Lee Dong Yun.
- The Tuxedo? - Yes.
I miss Bong Sun, too.
- Lee Dong Yun? - I thought he was a singer.
I don't think so. I think he is Ahn Yoon Sang.
- Ahn Yoon Sang? - He is a KBS comedian.
It's a goal!
That was amazing!
(Is Wolves Ahn Yoon Sang?)
Ahn Yoon Sang can mimic Yu Hae Jin's voice...
and even Former President Lee Myung Bak's voice.
- Really? - He can mimic Byun Hee Bong, too.
It is very confusing.
I'll now reveal the winner of Round One.
It was a close game.
(It was a close game.)
The winner was decided by a margin of...
only five votes.
(Only five votes!)
I will reveal the winner who won by a margin of five votes.
(Who is the winner?)
Who will be the winner?
(He captivated women's heart with his sweet voice.)
(He is Treasure Island with a gentle voice.)
(His voice sounds manly and wild.)
(He is Wolves with an attractive husky voice.)
Who will be the winner moving on to Round Two? The winner is...
The winner is...
- Wolves! - Wolves!
- Treasure Island! - Treasure Island!
(They showed an exciting performance together.)
The winner is...
(Who is the winner?)
Who is the winner of this close game?
Who will move on to Round Two?
The winner is Treasure Island.
(I Live Alone in Treasure Island wins.)
The winner is Treasure Island.
(They cheer for his victory.)
I knew it!
(Congratulations, Treasure Island!)
Good job!
(The fans of Wolves sigh.)
(Treasure Island will move on to Round Two.)
Treasure Island beat Wolves by a margin of five votes.
It was an amazing game.
It is 52 to 47.
(Thank you.)
The game was decided by a margin of five votes.
Treasure Island, please go back to the waiting room.
Please give him a big hand.
(The shocking identity of Wolves will be revealed soon.)
(Treasure Island can't believe that he won.)
I will sing better in Round Two.
I will try my best. Thank you.
Let's find out who Wolves is.
He's got a very attractive low voice.
He is also good at mimicking people's voice.
So there was a diversity of opinions on his identity.
Who is Wolves?
Let's find it out. Please give him a round of applause.
(The identity of Wolves will be revealed soon.)
He is born with great vocal cords.
I don't think they are the current idol singers.
Isn't he Han Chul Woo?
His name is Lee Dong Yun.
I think he is Ahn Yoon Sang.
("Spring Days" by Kim Yong Jin(Bohemian))
(He starts singing with his powerful husky voice.)
He is so good.
He is a good singer.
(His lonely voice is...)
(imprinted on people's mind.)
(Gosh, who is it?)
He's much better than before.
(His voice is hoarse but warm.)
(Who is he? Is he a singer?)
(Who is Wolves?)
(He calmly expresses the pain of a break-up.)
He sings well.
(Can you hear my confession)
(His voice is very masculine.)
(Who is this attractive man?)
Now, Wolves, please take off your mask...
and reveal your face.
(Everybody is excited to see him.)
Who is he?
(Why is everyone surprised?)
He is...
Lee Dong Yun, the master of musical gags.
(He was Lee Dong Yun after all.)
- Wow. - I got it right.
(She is agape.)
- Look, it's Dong Yun. - Wow.
(Gosh, he was a comedian.)
He sings so well.
(He debuted in 2005 and became popular for his singing skills.)
(His version "Let It Be" shows the sorrow of businessmen.)
(This master of musical gags has even appeared in musicals.)
(This comedian has an amazing singing skills.)
(He is really awesome.)
He sings really well.
I never knew he was that good. He's very good.
(Dong Yun sings his heart out...)
(with keen ardency.)
Wow, he's so good.
(He showed a great performance with full of sincerity.)
Wow, Dong Yun.
He's the Kim Bum Soo of comedians.
Wow, Dong Yun.
How could he sing so well?
Hello, I'm Lee Dong Yun the comedian. Nice to see you.
Right.
Your name...
has been mentioned several times in the show...
whenever there was a male singer with a hoarse baritone.
Since your voice is husky and you sing so well,
I think you can be Lee Dong Yun.
Lee Dong Yun.
I've been mentioned many times although I never sang in the show,
so I wanted to be here someday.
I wanted to come to the show,
and show everyone that this is how my voice sounds like.
Right.
You can't sing like this with just a little practise.
I think you like music and have sung a lot.
Your skills humble singers.
Release an album.
Is he provoking me?
Oh, no.
- Why are you provoking him? - What I meant to say is,
you're good enough to release an album. Here are the writers,
so release an album, please.
- It's easier said than done. - Release an album.
He is touched.
I was so touched.
He was the best singer among the comedians,
but then he got a jaw surgery.
His singing skills faded a bit then,
but all of it came back recently.
I was still recovering from the surgery...
and I still had chances to sing then.
I couldn't sing well at the time.
I not sure if I can sing now because I got used to the new jaw...
or my jaw went back to how it used to be.
I heard that you don't think you're a good singer.
I'm nobody compared to singers.
- Nobody? - Nobody?
- I'm nobody. - Are you?
Well, I am.
(I can't compare myself to singers.)
Thanks to singing,
I let the world know who I am.
I want to be a hard working comedian...
who continues to combine comedy with music.
Right.
(We support you.)
Today, he got out of...
the comedy stage and showed a great performance.
He is the comedian Lee Dong Yun.
- Give him a big hand. - Lee Dong Yun.
Lee Dong Yun.
(Today's song was the best.)
(He comes down from the stage with a relieved face.)
I think music is a huge weapon for me to be who I am.
For me, today's stage...
will be a very special memory.
My close friends Bong Sun and Hyung Bin...
were astonished...
and even crying when they saw me.
That was touching, too.
I liked it.
This is the result of Round One.
Treasure Island defeated Lee Dong Yun...
and moved on to Round Two.
It's the second match of Round One.
She is the transparent melody that wanders around the earth,
Catch the Little Ghost.
(Catch the Little Ghost enters.)
(I'm coming.)
King, I'm coming to get you.
(She makes a ghostly sound.)
She's so cute.
- She's cute. - She really is little.
I like her already.
The singer who challenges her is...
a vocalist on fire,
Hit for the Gold Baby Goblin.
(He is Hit for the Gold Baby Goblin.)
(Let's hit for the gold.)
Vote for me.
(Baby Goblin has a masculine charm.)
He's cute, too.
- He's cute. - So cute.
(It's Baby Goblin versus Little Ghost.)
It's like the monster special.
(It's a cute monster special.)
(They are both singers of cute appearance.)
(Can they make...)
(the stage chilling?)
("Dream" by Suzy and Baek Hyun)
(This romantic choice of the song is far from being scary.)
Her moves look old.
(His sweet confession penetrates the heart.)
(Baby Goblin's sweet and clear voice...)
(matches the main character from romance comics.)
(Little Ghost sings back with a clear and beautiful voice.)
(Her voice tickles the heart...)
(pleasantly like a butterfly.)
(She's the best.)
(It is you that makes my dream so pleasant.)
(Baby Goblin's true feelings make us tremble.)
(They make a sweet love confession.)
They are so cute.
They look nice together,
they really do.
(They are a nice pair to look at.)
Their voices are good.
Yes, both of them have really nice voices.
(His voice that's as pure and soft as a cotton ball...)
(invites us once again to the world of romantic comics.)
(Who's Baby Goblin with an amazing voice?)
His voice is so good.
(She is so pretty.)
(Little Ghost has a lovely tone. Who is she?)
(This moment may be a sweet lie...)
(but it sure feels like a happy dream.)
(Baby Goblin's love seems so genuine.)
(They sound great!)
(Their soft and fluffy tones are so similar.)
(Their voices make them beautiful and cool.)
(The sweetest harmony in the world)
(It's an innocent love story...)
(filled with fresh emotions that everyone cheers for.)
(So sweet)
Have a healthy relationship.
I give you my blessings.
They are so pretty.
They sing very well.
I hope they release an album together.
The second match of Round One is now over.
First, Little Ghost, will you say hello to the viewers?
Hello. I am...
Catch the Little Ghost.
All right.
She is Little Ghost that is not scary at all.
She has a very cute appearance.
Hello.
I am, "Hit for the Gold."
Baby Goblin.
This goblin is also...
not scary at all.
Young Seok, you seemed very restless when you were listening.
- How were they? - As I listened to their song,
I felt like I was watching...
a very romantic...
French film.
(Their performance was sweet and romantic.)
Little Ghost's tone...
is really nice.
Her voice sounds perfect for...
a lotion commercial for teenage girls.
- A lotion commercial. - Yes.
- The voice has to be pure and... - Yes.
- fresh. - Yes.
With that tone, she can sing a children's song and...
- get a lot of votes. - Is that right?
- Yes. - All right.
- What about Baby Goblin? - When I first heard his voice,
an image came to my mind.
A 21-year-old's face that has...
just been splashed with water.
(A clean and refreshing face of a 21-year-old)
- Must he be a 21-year-old? - It's like this.
- He is not too young. - Yes.
- He is an adult, but... - Yes.
- he still has boyishness. - I see.
He is both refreshing and pure.
Does he remind you of a fresh green apple?
That's right.
Let's hear from Cho Jang Hyuk.
As I heard these two sing,
I got the impression that they are both very young.
They are both young.
Their vocal chords are young.
There is a part where they sound like they are sighing.
Na, Na, Na, Na, Na.
He is an expert at replicating.
Na, Na, Na, Na, Na.
When someone sings as if they are sighing,
people tend to focus more on the soft voice.
- It's like a whisper. - Yes, like a whisper.
- Ha. - That's right.
- Na, Na, Na, Na - Na, Na, Na, Na.
- It makes me focus. - Doesn't it?
It makes me weary and focused.
What really surprised me is...
that both of them were never off tune.
When you sing by breathing out like that,
you can't help but be off tone at times.
It's really hard to maintain your tone, unless you are well-trained.
These young singers...
They may not be young.
- They who have young voices. - Yes, they have young voices.
- It surprised me that they can... - I see.
So perfectly in such way.
- I enjoyed their performance. - All right.
(Great performance)
You said that their voice sounds very young.
Who seems to be older?
The evil spirit!
- It's a ghost. - A ghost.
- It's a ghost. - I got confused.
- This is a ghost. - A ghost.
You say that Ghost is older than Goblin.
Gang Nam,
you raised your thumbs when he...
- started singing. - I really...
And you didn't put it down.
- Yes. - I thought his voice was amazing.
- His voice is amazing. - Yes.
But I have no idea who they are.
I just hope they would get married.
They should get married.
- They are a great match. - They should get married?
They should have babies, and I will raise them.
- You will raise their babies. - I will make them singers.
- They look great together. - I see.
- I was very happy watching them. - All right.
- Gu Ra, what did you think? - Actually,
they may have surpassed Suzy and Baek Hyun...
with their great harmony.
They are both clearly members of idol groups.
- Is that right? - Today, you gave us...
a critical hint.
When you were entering the stage,
- they bowed their heads at 90°. - I see.
You greeted them with nonchalance.
(Murmuring)
That's a bias and misunderstanding.
Let's rewind the tape.
You.
(Both of them bowed at 90°.)
(What's going on?)
Did I stand like this when they greeted me?
(You did it like this.)
What I'm saying is that you were very natural in...
receiving greetings from them.
I just think they are very polite people.
As for Little Ghost,
I recall this song called...
"So So"...
by Miss B.
"So So"?
- Baek A Yeon's voice is like this. - Yes, I know that clear voice.
(Little Ghost is...)
(Baek A Yeon, who sings "So-so"?)
I think it's Baek A Yeon.
For Baby Goblin,
when he swung that bat,
he looked like he could play baseball.
- Yes. - He swung it well.
- He looked like a baseball player? - Yes, he's good at baseball.
- Look at that. - I see.
- He is a great athlete. - I see.
One thing for certain is that they are both members of idol groups.
Seong Ju, you greeted them so nonchalantly...
as if that's how they should greet you.
- That makes it certain. - That's not true.
This is a bias.
- It's not a bias. - I am innocent.
If I seemed arrogant, I apologise.
Do you see that? They bow lower than him.
- They bow lower than him! - I will be in trouble.
They bow lower than him.
They are from idol groups for sure.
Young Seok has mentioned earlier that...
Little Ghost would get many votes...
if she sang children's songs.
Her special talent is...
mimicking animation characters.
- I knew it. - That's right.
We'll hear it without voice distortion. Doraemon.
Jin Gu, let's play together.
That's enough. That was Doraemon.
- She may have a child. - She has a baby?
- She's married? - A child.
- I think her child likes that. - She heard it a lot.
- That's right. - So she can mimic well.
This time, it's Sha Wujing.
Moss.
(Oh my gosh!)
All right. There may be a little difference.
This time, Baby Goblin will show...
his special talents.
He said that he will do the Baby Goblin performance.
Show us!
You become strong when you...
- meet Mr Goblin. - He is very cute.
(He's so cute.)
(Hit the gold.)
(Presto)
(Hit for the silver.)
(Presto)
He is so good at this.
(Hit for the gold.)
Hit for the gold. Presto.
Mr Goblin.
(He is cute.)
(Mr Goblin is not scary at all.)
That's enough.
(He is so cute.)
Yes.
In my opinion,
it's been less than a year and a half since he made a debut.
- Yes. - A year and a half since his debut.
And his band has many members.
- His band has many members. - He is not...
the ace of the group.
There are a lot of members.
- He's not the ace. - That's right.
In my opinion,
he's from Seventeen but is not Seung Kwan.
- Why is he not Seung Kwan? - Because...
Seung Kwan looks like hareubang.
- Seung Kwan is shorter. - I see.
Except Seung Kwan.
He is one of the other members.
- Baby Goblin is one of them. - That's right.
Seventeen is with our company.
That's right.
When I came out on this show, I needed to learn a special talent.
So I made Seventeen members show me their special talents.
That special talent was not one of them.
- Is that right? - Yes.
- So he's not a member of Seventeen. - I see.
- Really? - He's from the same company.
Jeong Hwa, what do you think?
At first, when Little Ghost...
walked onto the stage,
she acted like a child...
and had a cute stage manner. So I thought for sure...
that she is a member of a girl group.
However, when I heard her voice,
I changed my mind.
- She is not an idol member. - That's correct.
She didn't sound young like a girl group member.
So did it sound dull?
- No, that's not what I meant. - Doesn't she sound very skilled?
- I think she does. - Yes, I think...
- that she sounds very experienced. - I see.
You think she sounds experienced.
- And about Baby Goblin... - Yes, Baby Goblin.
I think I know who he is.
- Really? - Is that right?
- Well... - Tell us.
- I'll let Gu Ra know first. - Sure.
(She needs Gu Ra's approval.)
- She's whispering to him. - Did he approve?
- So what do you think? - I cannot approve it.
- He can't approve it. - Is my guess wrong?
You can't approve it?
Her guess was Yuk Seong Jae, and I cannot approve it.
Jeong Hwa thinks he could be Yuk Seong Jae.
- I think he's a lot like Seong Jae. - I do not agree.
- I cannot approve it. - All right.
Some of you thinks she's a member of a girl group, while others don't.
I see here that Little Ghost wrote...
"cheery dance" as her speciality.
Please watch her dance...
and try to guess her age, which all of us are confused about.
Music, please!
(Let's watch her cheery dance.)
She's dancing with a cheery friend.
(Little Ghost has a cheery friend.)
(She's used to dancing with her friend.)
Her friend is super fun.
(She never hesitates to express her cheery side wherever she goes.)
(Let's have fun!)
(She shakes her entire body.)
She knows how to have fun!
(She does the twist dance.)
(Beautiful Ulleungdo)
(She showed us how to have fun!)
That's it.
Dong Geun, can you guess who she is?
I actually don't know many people in this industry.
Just say you don't know who she is.
I don't know anyone.
However, I'm convinced that she's on the older side.
Are you certain? What makes you think that?
I've been to a karaoke room with ladies...
in their 30s.
They danced like that whenever any upbeat song was on.
That's so not true!
- That's called bias. - You could be like that, too.
- If you go to a karaoke and... - Only those in their 30s are mad.
(She's just realising that now.)
Really?
I'll add to what he said. I thought she was a member of an idol group,
but agencies train those girls to get in shape at an early age.
But her neck protrudes forward a bit.
- It's subtle, but she has it. - It's subtle.
- Yes, it is. - Her neck leans forward.
- Her neck does that a bit. - I see.
This may be an impolite thing to bring up,
but Little Ghost is...
Her trapezius muscles look tense.
The condition of her muscles tell me that she's around my age.
Her trapezius muscles look very tight.
- On her shoulders, right? - Yes.
- Those muscles are protruding. - Actually,
all idol group members have a beautiful, lean neckline.
- You probably know what I mean. - Yoo A, could you move your hair?
As you can see...
The angle is exactly 90°.
But the silhouette of her shoulders is shaped like 8:40.
- Eight-forty. - Exactly.
Eight-forty. That's why you think she's older.
- That's the feeling I'm getting. - You think she's in her mid-30s.
It looks like you're more clueless as to who Baby Goblin is,
so I'll let you hear his real voice.
He claims that he can make...
the sound of an old man and an old woman simultaneously.
Ready, start!
"Honey."
"Why are you calling me?"
"Did you see those two chicks in the backyard?"
"I did, of course."
"What did you think?"
It looks like you missed the old lady's line.
It was her turn to ask him a question,
- She has disappeared. - but he kept going.
- The lady went missing! - Why did you do that?
- Where did she go? - What was that about?
(She disappeared after saying "Honey".)
(Looking for a Missing Person)
(The missing persons case of the old lady)
- There was a clear difference. - The lady just stepped out.
(She stepped out briefly.)
It can happen.
However, with this young voice of his...
- "That young voice of his?" - Yes.
Well, Jang Hyuk said earlier...
that his voice sounds young.
(Don't lie.)
(We don't believe you.)
(Seong Ju laughs anxiously.)
You'll get me fired.
If you keep this up, I'll get fired today.
(The show host is in crisis.)
He could actually be old enough to be a grandfather.
(What was that just now?)
- What was that nonsense? - He's saying whatever.
What was that nonsense about?
(What was that about?)
Imitating an old lady was hard, but he kept talking...
in an old man voice, which means he could be old.
All right. Now, I'll announce the result...
of the second match of Round One, the duet song match.
It was a match between the two creatures that live in our fantasy.
There was only a small difference in the number of votes.
(It was a neck-and-neck match!)
- The difference is... - Three votes!
- How many? - Four votes!
Five!
Seven votes.
(Seven votes)
The difference is...
three votes!
(The difference is three votes!)
(I was right.)
(It's so thrilling!)
This is more nip and tuck than the previous match.
They're more neck and neck than the first team.
Between the two of them here,
who's the one that won this match by three votes?
I'll announce the winner now!
(Who will compete against Treasure Island?)
(Little Ghost's clear and graceful voice...)
(puts us in a good mood.)
(His gentle yet meticulous way of expressing emotions...)
(along with his sweet voice melts all ladies' hearts.)
Between Catch the Little Ghost and Hit for the Gold Baby Goblin,
who will move on to Round Two as the winner?
The winner is...
- The winner is... - Little Ghost!
Baby Goblin!
Baby Goblin.
(It was a nip-and-tuck match.)
(The three votes will change their fate.)
(Who will get to move on to Round Two?)
The winner is...
The masked singer who will move on to Round Two is...
(Hit for the Gold Baby Goblin won!)
Baby Goblin won!
(We're smitten by Baby Goblin!)
Baby Goblin!
(Baby Goblin is the winner!)
Okay! See?
Nice!
Oh, no. Poor Little Ghost.
Baby Goblin won!
Baby Goblin beat Little Ghost by three votes.
(48 votes versus 51 votes)
The score was 51 to 48.
Baby Goblin is the winner.
Please return to the waiting room now.
Let's congratulate him with an applause.
Treasure Island will have to compete against Baby Goblin.
(He rushes to back stage.)
(It's that way.)
(Baby Goblin can't find his way out.)
I really had no idea that I'd win.
(His heart is still racing.)
I was so nervous.
I'll try harder on Round Two.
(I won!)
We've heard many opinions about who she might be,
but what's her real identity? We'll watch her solo performance...
and find out who she is.
Please give her a big hand!
(Her identity will be revealed during this performance.)
She sang perfectly in tune.
Her voice sounds perfect for...
a lotion commercial for teenage girls.
- Baek A Yeon's voice is like this. - Yes, I know that clear voice.
Her neck protrudes forward a bit.
- You think so? - I'm sure that...
It didn't sound fresh.
I don't think she is a member of an idol group.
I'm convinced that she's on the older side.
I think she might have a kid.
- You think she has a kid, too? - Yes.
(The panellists couldn't figure out who Little Ghost is.)
(Who are you?)
("Like an Indian Doll" by Nami)
Gosh, this song is so charming!
- What's this song? - What is this?
It's an unusual choice of song.
Is she allowed to sing a song like this?
(Her choice of song surprised everyone.)
(She sounds much more seductive compared to Round One.)
I knew there was something seductive about her voice.
(She flaunts her voice that exudes a sense of ripe beauty!)
(She sings the catchy part of the song.)
(My loneliness must've burnt my heart)
(Oh, my baby)
(Little Ghost is so charming!)
I'm loving this performance!
(Marvelling)
(She seems very experienced in performing on stage.)
(Her powerful singing will surely help us beat the heat.)
(She sings the catchy part again.)
(Oh, my baby)
(This is so exciting!)
Little Ghost, please take off your mask...
and reveal your face!
(My goodness!)
(This is unbelievable!)
- Why? Who is she? - Who is she?
- Why is everyone so surprised?
She is...
(Who is the seasoned vocalist, Little Ghost?)
Little Ghost, please take off your mask...
and reveal your face!
She is...
the lead vocalist of the hottest girl group Twice, Ji Hyo!
(Hey, Ji Hyo.)
(It was you?)
(My Ji Hyo!)
(This old fan of hers is overly excited.)
Twice?
(Twice is here?)
(I'm Ji Hyo.)
(She winks.)
(How can the voice of a 20-year-old girl sound so mature?)
(She emits powerful energy from her small body.)
(Winking)
(She just looked at me!)
(No one knew Ji Hyo had such an attractive voice.)
(Everyone's in love with Ji Hyo.)
(It was "Like an Indian Doll" by a cute 20-year-old girl.)
(Twice is the best!)
Ji Hyo! Ji Hyo!
Cheer up baby, cheer up baby.
How can she be so skilled?
Please say hello to those who are watching our programme.
Hello, I'm the leader of Twice, Ji Hyo. Nice to meet you.
(Twice made their debut with "Like Ooh-Ahh" in 2015.)
(Ji Hyo is the leader and the main vocalist of Twice.)
(Their song "Cheer Up" has topped the chart for five weeks in a row.)
(They have become one of the most popular girl groups in Korea.)
(Ji Hyo is a member of one of the hottest girl groups.)
Ji Hyo was born in 1997.
She is only 19 years old.
Someone said she might be about 37 years old.
- I didn't know that. - I thought she was old.
As soon as she started singing,
- she looked confident and skilled. - She's right.
That made me hold prejudice against her.
It's too late.
How could you talk about trapezius muscle to her?
I can understand that she sounded very mature.
In fact,
when I was 12 years old,
I was in the same agency with her as a trainee for five years.
- But you didn't recognise her. - I thought she would recognise me.
- I'm so sorry. - How could you not know?
Jeong Hwa should have recognised your voice.
- I know. - You should've known her voice.
Sometimes a person's voice sounds totally different behind a mask.
You started training to be a singer at a young age, right?
Yes, I joined an agency as a trainee when I was in third grade.
Hello, I'm Park Ji Hyo.
I'm 10 years old.
And I'm an elementary school student.
I'd been a trainee for 10 years before I made my debut.
She sounded so mature for her age.
It is hard to believe that...
a 20-year-old girl can be such a good singer.
I think that's why the panellists thought she was older.
You are very skilled and mature for your age.
I hope you will become an even greater singer in the future.
- Okay. - Thank you.
I voted for you.
Today, she was recognised for her excellent singing skills.
As the main vocalist of Twice,
she showed her huge potential...
on this stage.
Please give her a round of applause.
(We will look forward to seeing your brilliant future, Ji Hyo.)
Thank you.
(We will look forward to seeing your brilliant future, Ji Hyo.)
(It is finally over!)
I did it.
It would've been nice if I moved on to Round Two.
I feel sad that I didn't make it.
I was afraid that people would question the past 10 years...
I spent as a trainee. So I was afraid to sing alone on the stage.
I was very nervous and anxious.
But I was greatly encouraged...
by all the positive response I got from the panellists today.
Taking this opportunity, I will try harder...
to become a better singer...
in the future.
Hit for the Gold Baby Goblin defeated Ji Hyo of Twice...
and moved on to Round Two.
Right after this show ends, the online mobile survey...
on this week's masked singers by netizens will proceed.
Please join the survey.
It is Round One where two masked singers sing a duet.
Now I introduce you the singers for the third match.
The third match of Round One.
A healing voice flying in the air.
Beef or chicken?
In-flight Meals in the Aeroplane.
(Beef or Chicken, In-flight Meals in the Aeroplane)
(He flies straight to the stage.)
(Beef or chicken? Which one would you like?)
(We want both!)
In-flight Meals in the Aeroplane?
Beef or chicken?
(Beef or chicken?)
Coffee or tea?
You must eat in-flight meals on an aeroplane.
Beef or chicken?
I prefer chicken.
His opponent is...
a singer with a breeze-like voice...
which is stronger than a typhoon that will blow away the summer heat.
My Best Friend Electric Fan.
(Turn your fan on.)
(My Best Friend Electric Fan)
(Instead of travelling to a crowded place, )
(stay at home with me!)
(An electric fan is your best friend in summer.)
We have a female singer.
She's making me feel cool.
- I guess she's on the older side. - I think so.
I can tell from the way she walks.
(This is for you!)
(Flying a paper plane)
(I don't want to lose.)
(She is cute.)
They are already competing.
It looks weird though.
(The two masked singers remind us of the summer season.)
(Audience is very excited to see the masked singers.)
(The singers have completely different characters.)
(What would their performance look like?)
("Farewell Story" by Lee Moon Sae)
(Wow!)
(Her voice sounds sexy and delicate at the same time.)
(Impressed)
(He's got a rich and sweet voice.)
This is so nice.
(I'm sure they are singers. They are very good.)
(Their performance expresses the sorrow of parting.)
(Bravo!)
I like their song and harmony!
Today's duet songs are all good.
You are right.
(The audience gives a big hand to the masked singers.)
They are singing with perfect harmony.
(I love it.)
(House Band)
(Aeroplane sings with his rough and heavy voice.)
(Electric Fan sings with her delicate yet refined voice.)
(Their different voices make a beautiful harmony together.)
(Wow!)
(The studio is full of the sadness of parting.)
This is great.
(They sang the sad love story in a beautiful harmony.)
That was amazing.
This is so sad.
It didn't sound like a competition.
Today's duet songs were all good.
I think so.
The third match of Round One is over.
Aeroplane, please say hello.
Hello. Beef or chicken?
I'm In-flight Meals in the Aeroplane.
- He's wearing an aeroplane mask. - He seems...
a bit awkward.
Hello. I am My Best Friend...
- Electric Fan. - All right.
Electric Fan is a very cute lady.
- Seong Ju. I want to say something. - Yes.
When she was singing,
- she was leaning on one foot. - You mean Electric Fan?
- Yes. - Okay.
She was putting her weight on her left hip.
(She dances slowly to the rhythm, )
(then she leans on one foot.)
(Gosh, she's leaning on one foot!)
She did it without realising.
It must mean she has more than 10 years of experience on stage.
Also, she's a typical solo artist.
Because you can't lean on one foot alone in a group.
They should do it all together.
- They should all do it. - Yes. She can't do it alone.
So, I think she's a solo artist with many years of experience.
I'm surprised to see how two people can think...
completely different on the same matter.
Female idol groups start their stage...
by sticking out their leg in a sexy way like this.
- That's right. - Isn't this sexy?
- She wasn't standing like that. - She was.
- Was she? Really? - You think she did it on purpose.
You're saying she leaned on one foot to make her look sexy.
She's so used to it that she did it without realising.
She did it without realising.
That's why I think she is a member of...
a new female idol group.
You have different opinions about her posture.
Besides that, she sang like...
My love, I should.
- Say good bye - She didn't sing it like that.
- Are you sure? - She never sang it like that.
It means she doesn't want to say goodbye.
You think it's a lingering farewell.
I think she's been through this kind of painful break-up...
- 2 to 3 times. - At least 2 to 3 times.
That's why I think she is quite old. She looks mature.
Just like Bong Sun said, her way of singing is old-fashioned.
Most of the solo artists use a singing method so-called...
- "moaning while singing." - "Moaning while singing?"
- Yes. - It's a real singing method, right?
That's right. If I sing it normally...
I guess we are.
It'd sound like this, but...
I guess we are.
They make this sound at the beginning of each phrase.
- Like this, right? - I guess we are.
(It's a singing style that solo artists in the 2000s used.)
(Moaning at the beginning)
(Moaning)
I believe her to be a solo artist...
- with a lot of experience. - I see.
On the other hand, In-flight Meals...
- It's Aeroplane. - That's right. Aeroplane.
Sorry about that.
(It's because he has such a long nickname.)
Right. Aeroplane...
is not familiar with how to deliver emotions.
He's not familiar with it yet.
But although he seems to sing in an indifferent manner,
it sounds soulful.
I can feel it. He seems to sing indifferently,
but it touches the listener's heart.
That's why I think he is a singer...
who recently made his debut.
- I believe he's very young... - Oh, my.
And not aware of what his talent is.
He gave assessments that...
sound contrary to each other.
Young Seok, what did you think of their performance?
Yes. They sang "Farewell Story".
I think they're meant to break up.
(What?)
What did you say?
- They're meant to break up? - It felt that way.
- They don't mix well. - They don't?
- They don't. - You think they should break up.
The way they express the song...
is very different.
- If I compare it to baseball, - Baseball.
Aeroplane only throws fast balls.
- Right. He throws fast balls. - Yes. Fast balls.
His voice is thick and also big in volume.
- I see. - On the other hand, Electric Fan...
- fights with breaking balls. - I see.
The stimulus that her singing gives you feels like an exotic spice.
Right.
(His voice sounds heavy and strong.)
(My goodness!)
(Gosh, this is strong!)
(The ever-changing exotic stimulus)
(What is this smell?)
(What is this fascinating dish?)
(A voice that provokes all five senses)
It's my second time to feel...
this kind of sadness from listening to this song.
Hyun Chul...
failed at his 12th love and...
(He failed at his 12th love.)
- Is this a personal matter? - He was staggering...
- and desperate. - I see.
(Do you remember?)
What did I do wrong?
What did I do to you?
What did I ever do?
He was staggering in pain and I felt that pain.
It's my first time to feel pure pain since that.
- Pure pain. - That's right.
I cut it down to 12th.
(Thank you very much.)
You cut it down?
Hyun Chul, maybe you need to explain about your 12th love.
Before I explain myself,
Electric Fan naturally has a sharp voice.
She has a perfect range of EQ that people would...
- find comfortable with. - Did you say EQ?
- EQ. It stands for equaliser. - I see.
It's easy to hear her singing even if she doesn't sing loudly.
This isn't actually what I wanted to say.
(Confused)
- I wanted to talk about Aeroplane. - Hold on.
Could you organise your opinion first?
- Mentioning his 12th love... - He can't focus...
- made him panic. - because of that.
You should calm yourself down.
I was really surprised to hear his singing.
I wondered how the staff members were able to cast him.
- What? - I think I know...
who he is. But I wondered how they got him here.
How could they invite someone legendary like him?
- Is he legendary? - Yes.
- Do you really think so? - He's legendary.
Oh, my. Aren't you just trying to cover up your 12th love story?
- That's... - Gosh.
- Come on. - He hasn't released many albums.
But the albums he released left such intense impression.
He's saying Aeroplane marked a new era in the music industry.
I'm a little abashed that you have such a big difference in opinions.
Jang Hyuk said he must be a new singer,
- but Hyun Chul says he's legendary. - That's right.
- All right. Yoo A. - Yes?
Frankly, I have no idea who they are.
But listening to the beautiful duet songs today,
- I have a wish now. - What is that?
I want to sing a duet song.
- With whom? - With Black Knight?
- Sing it with Dong Geun. - Let me sing for you.
Desperado.
- Why don't you come to - What about Dong Geun?
- Your senses - He suddenly started singing.
How could he...
- He's so pushy. - We didn't even ask for it.
Also, "Desperado" isn't a duet song.
(Oh, right!)
- You gave me - She didn't say it's you.
Pain greater than love.
- Now I know - He's good.
Of course. He made it to Round Three.
He's a walking jukebox. When I said "Desperado" isn't a duet song,
- he changed the song immediately. - Yoo A, how is Dong Geun?
- Isn't he good? - He's a really great singer.
- Yes. - I may not look like it,
- but I'm a singer. - Yes. Shall we?
Did you have someone else on your mind?
Who did you want to sing it with?
I wanted...
(Yoo A...)
- It's Black Knight. - Romantic Black Knight.
- Black Knight? - Yes.
- Is that right? - It's so obvious.
- I'm Han Dong Geun, a singer. - Mr Han.
- Right. - I see.
Regarding Aeroplane's identity,
some of you think he's a legendary singer,
while others think he's new.
You have different opinions.
Let's hear their actual voices.
It looks like he can imitate voices of others.
First, it's the voice of Kim Jung Min, the singer.
After this.
- That's all. - Hey!
(No!)
You shouldn't say anything else.
Hold on. He startled me.
- It was close. - What are you fussing about?
Sir. You almost let them know who you are.
- No, he didn't. - Did you just call him, "Sir"?
- Gosh, he startled me. - It can't be idol singer's voice.
You mustn't say anything. We need to change your voice.
All right. Now, I'll let you hear...
Electric Fan's voice.
She'll mimic the voice of Yangpa, the singer.
(She suddenly whispers something to Seong Ju.)
She wants you to listen carefully because it's short.
(She wants you to listen carefully.)
(There hasn't been a request like this.)
Don't make any noise and listen carefully.
She has a temper.
Let's listen carefully to her voice mimicry of Yangpa.
Stay by my side.
A little closer
I love... That's...
(That's...)
Gosh. Stop.
Goodness.
- Lower your microphone. - What's wrong with them today?
- Excuse me. - Yes.
- It wasn't short at all. - It was rather long.
- And we didn't need to stay quiet. - That's right.
- It was very long. - Yes.
She wanted us to listen carefully as if it was something special.
You sang the whole measure.
Now, Aeroplane will...
imitate the voice of Lee Hyun Woo, the singer.
Now, please let us hear it.
Hello, I'm Lee Hyun Woo.
When I close my eyes.
You come close to me like a dream.
That's it. You should stop here.
They might find out who you are.
Now, I'll announce the result of...
the third match of Round One.
Who will be the winner?
I'll reveal the winner of this match now.
I'm so curious.
(I only throw fast balls.)
(Is the winner Aeroplane with a pure voice?)
(Sexy and yet sophisticated voice)
(Is the winner Electric Fan with a great voice that hits your ear?)
Who is the winner of the third duet song match?
The winner is...
- Electric Fan. - Go, Electric Fan.
- Aeroplane! - Aeroplane is in the air.
Will Electric Fan be the winner?
- Or will it be Aeroplane? - Electric Fan!
(Who is the winner?)
I'll announce the winner of the match.
Show us the winner.
(My Best Friend Electric Fan is the winner.)
Electric Fan is the winner.
(Electric Fan, a friend of summer.)
- That's right. - Electric Fan!
(Too bad.)
I knew it.
- Electric Fan is the winner. - Electric Fan rules.
It was 40 to 59.
With a score of 40 to 59,
Electric Fan became the winner. Please go to your waiting room.
Please give her a big hand.
(See you next week.)
Electric Fan became the winner.
(The identity of Aeroplane will be revealed soon.)
(Let's switch off the fan for a while.)
I feel so good. I didn't think that I would make it.
I'll blow the heat away.
(Summer heat, go away!)
Who could Aeroplane be?
We will reveal his identity...
with the solo performance he prepared for the next round.
Please give him a round of applause.
(He will reveal his identity in this performance.)
He seems to sing indifferently, but it touches the listener's heart.
His voice is thick and also big in volume.
I think he is a singer who recently made his debut.
I wondered how could they invite someone legendary like him?
- Is he legendary? - Yes.
("Laura" by Byun Jin Sub)
- Isn't this song "Laura"? - It is "Laura".
(This is a classic released in 1989 sung by Byun Jin Sub.)
Is he from the bygone days?
(Wow!)
(His plain voice is complemented much more in a solo stage.)
- Wow, it's good. - It's great.
(His baritone has pleasant resonance to it.)
(His rhythm shows his level of expertise.)
(He sounds like a young man...)
(yet like an older man.)
(Who is Aeroplane?)
(The panellists couldn't agree on their guesses.)
Now, Aeroplane, please take off your mask...
and reveal your identity.
(Oh, my!)
(This is unbelievable.)
He is...
Is he really legendary?
(He definitely is.)
(He grabs his binoculars.)
(Take off your mask and reveal your identity.)
He is...
Kim Min Woo, a singer who made his debut 27 years ago...
with the song "It's Only Love", which was widely loved.
(Wow!)
(Hyun Chul believed that he was a legendary singer...)
(while the others didn't.)
He's Kim Min Woo!
- Yes, he is. - He's Kim Min Woo.
He's the one who sang "Going to Military by Train".
(They can't believe their eyes.)
(I told you.)
(He debuted with the song, "It's Only Love" in 1990.)
Kim Min Woo's "It's Only Love" topped this week's chart.
(He topped the chart for five consecutive weeks.)
- Congratulations. - He's great.
(His hits are "Going to Military by Train" and "Friend I Can Lean On", )
(but he joined the military three months after he released them, )
(breaking many fans' hearts.)
(He is a legendary singer, Kim Min Woo!)
(After 27 years, )
(his voice still sounds amazing.)
Amazing!
(His old colleagues feel nostalgic...)
(to see a familiar face in about 20 years.)
(The memory flows...)
(along with the melody.)
(It's been a while, Min Woo.)
Thank you.
(Thank you.)
Go, Kim Min Woo!
Gosh, I saw him only on television when I was young.
Hello, I'm Kim Min Woo...
who sang "It's Only Love". Nice to meet you.
(Hello, I'm Kim Min Woo. Nice to meet you.)
In the old days, if you top a chart for five weeks in a row,
- you couldn't compete any more. - That's right.
His song "It's Only Love" went straight to the top...
for five consecutive weeks upon its release.
Only after three month into your debut,
you joined the military.
Yes,
I performed for three months.
After you were done with your service,
you tried to continue your singing career, right?
Yes, I tried hard.
I came back and performed,
but the group debuted right then was Seo Taiji and Boys.
(Seo Taiji and Boys was his rival.)
- It was right then. - The timing was just right.
- Was it just right? - Our albums were released together.
Actually, I released several more albums,
but they didn't do so well.
To make a breakthrough, I set up a recording studio.
I set up the studio and invested in it.
But then, there was a fire. I lost everything.
- What happened after that? - There was the IMF crisis.
Things got even worse.
We didn't know such history.
I heard you're a car dealer now.
Yes. I recently received an award for my 10 years of service...
from the company I'm working for.
Oh, I see.
It's nice to see a familiar face in such a long time.
Hyun Chul, is he the person you had in mind when you said it wouldn't...
- Hyun Chul was right. - have been easy to cast him?
- He is. - Good to see you again.
Yes, it's nice to see you.
(He sighs.)
He and I performed at about the same time.
- That's right. - Seeing his face after all these...
years makes me speechless.
(He can't speak any longer.)
I'm sure it brings back so many memories.
Yes, it does.
Are you crying?
No.
Let's not ask questions like that.
I'm just asking out of curiosity.
After all these years, some people still thought...
that your voice sounds like that of a rookie.
- I felt good to hear that. - You did, right?
I said that,
and since you craved music...
and haven't sung in a while,
I think the music sublimed in you,
transforming the soul you pour out...
to be an authentic one.
Your longing and craving for music while you were away...
were expressed in your song.
I think you'll have to sing again.
I think so, too.
You can still sell cars.
Although he's a successful car dealer,
he still has the charming soul. He was the legendary Kim Min Woo,
who still wishes to stay with music.
Give him a round of applause.
(His life in music continues.)
(We expect more great music from you.)
(He looks shy.)
I feel free...
and relieved.
I wanted to present this stage...
to those who remember me and have memories about me...
in a long time.
I haven't felt this enthusiasm and thrill...
for quite a while.
Today has been a meaningful day for me.
My Best Friend Electric Fan defeats Kim Min Woo...
and moves on to Round Two.
The last match of Round One.
A little spark will lead to an inferno.
The singer with a passionate voice,
Bulgwang-dong Gasoline!
(Bulgwang-dong Gasoline)
Enjoy my red hot and scorching performance.
(I will burn everything in sight!)
(She looks awesome.)
She stands out. Is it a lady?
Bulgwang-dong Gasoline is a lady?
That's unexpected.
Her challenger is...
a cool vocalist who conquered the frigid ice world.
Igloo for Rent in Siberia.
(Igloo for Rent in Siberia)
It's freezing.
Let's go!
(Igloo is shivering because of a housing crisis.)
(Cheer up!)
It's Igloo for Rent.
She's cute.
She's adorable.
One is ice and the other is fire.
Fire and Water.
(This battle is intense from the beginning.)
(Neither singer backs down from this match.)
(Fantastic)
Nice.
She must be really slim to wear those leggings.
Her legs are so long.
(Their presence on the stage is powerful.)
(These powerful women will not concede.)
(What duet song have they chosen?)
("Please Look After Us" by Ex)
(It's Rock!)
("Please Look after Us" by Ex)
(They will battle head on with rock music.)
(Hello)
(Startled)
(She fires the first salvo with a high note.)
(Hooting)
(Her sharp voice awakens everyone.)
(Am I pretty?)
(Her vocal style makes the panellists smile.)
(The volume of her voice is like a giant flame.)
(Unbelievable)
(Like a volcano ready to erupt, )
(her powerful singing ability starts to burst.)
(It's hot!)
(Standing)
(Wow!)
She has to be a professional singer. She's too good.
(Two masked singers have captured everyone.)
(She is tough and charismatic.)
(It hurts me)
(She is in complete control.)
(Bulgwang-dong Gasoline is relaxed.)
(Awesome)
(I got goosebumps.)
(Igloo continues.)
(She provides relief from the summer heat.)
(A refreshingly cool voice)
(A hidden sweetness shows up.)
(A harmony is created by two distinct voices.)
(Adorable Igloo...)
(and charismatic Gasoline...)
(creates a spectacular rendezvous!)
(A perfect harmony creates an electrifying performance.)
(That was refreshing!)
- How cool! - I love it!
That was cool.
- How cool was that! - What a battle!
- Will it be water or fire? - This one is serious.
Seriously.
A duet battle of Round One. The last match of Round One is now over.
Please say hi to the viewers.
Go ahead, Gasoline.
Hi. I am Bulgwang-dong Gasoline.
Yes.
The flame is growing bigger.
That was Bulgwang-dong Gasoline.
Next, Igloo for Rent in Siberia.
Hello.
I am Igloo for Rent in Siberia.
(Giggling)
Her voice is slightly trembling.
Young Seok, can we hear from you first?
It was a very powerful and refreshing performance.
Igloo's refreshing performance is...
Let's say it's a very hot day.
(It's scorching.)
(Fainting)
(Suddenly!)
(An ice age voice from the north pole)
(Frozen)
(It feels as if polar bears would appear.)
(She has a voice that is refreshing all the way to the bones.)
- Her voice is sweet... - Yes.
- and cool at the same time. - Really?
Her voice has those qualities.
- Her voice is cool. - Yes.
As I heard Gasoline's singing,
I realised that both gasoline...
and songs are combustible.
All right.
(She lights herself on fire...)
She delivers hot energy through her song.
I was able to feel her song's expression...
burning right next to me.
(The flame spreads!)
I sense a very strong charisma.
They both have vocal styles that require tremendous amounts...
of charisma all the way until the end.
Yes.
Goodbye.
- This flipping at the end. - Yes.
Bye.
This part.
(A very difficult flipping vocal technique)
(They both do it so easily.)
(It was a true match between experts.)
They both have an overflow of energy.
I see.
I was really into the song until the end.
Then I saw their differences at the end.
- What is it? - Gasoline...
bends her knees at certain parts...
and subconsciously becomes one with the song...
and moves accordingly.
Igloo moved out of the need to move rather than letting...
- the music move her body. - I see.
I watched how their bodies moved,
and Gasoline moved like a singer,
and Igloo moved like a comedienne.
(Shocked)
- Just like that. - I see.
You are saying that Igloo is a comedienne.
You shouldn't do that.
I was watching her move, too.
Perhaps because her heels are too high,
- her movements may not be fluid. - That's right.
They are quite high.
Therefore...
Doesn't that make you look funny?
Therefore, we have an expression for someone like her.
Her voice sounds like a train horn.
(Her voice is as loud as a train horn.)
(Startled)
She works with her voice but she is not a singer.
Let's give her a chance to explain.
- This mask restricts my vision. - I see.
- I was trying not to fall. - The opening of the mask...
limits her vision.
- I see. - Her side view is blocked.
That's why she moved like that. It was hard for her to move.
In my opinion,
the Siberian Husky... What's her name again?
It's not Siberian Husky.
- How dare you. - It's Igloo.
It's Igloo.
In my opinion, Igloo hasn't been on television very much.
From the moment she came on the stage,
nothing she did was funny.
She hasn't been on television for a while.
- She is much older than me. - I see.
Her acts are so boring.
She is not funny because her acts are old-fashioned.
She is from the past generation.
Things like that.
- That's old. - She's much older.
What about Gasoline?
When I first heard her voice, it was so refreshing.
I thought she might be the one who sang "Tears".
It's So Chan Whee.
(She sings high notes without hesitation.)
She had that refreshing quality to her voice. I like that.
But who is she?
(What?)
- You always ask that. - I am so confused.
You are there to figure it out.
Does anyone know? Who is she?
See? They don't know.
Even Koreans don't know. How can I figure this out?
Aren't I right?
You are right.
- How can I figure this out? - This is a convincing argument.
- At least, give me a hint please. - This is the most convincing...
thing he has said so far.
Since you are having such a hard time,
I will give you a hint.
They both prepared something to show us.
I see here that they both prepared dance moves.
So they'll show us their dance.
Igloo will go first. She wrote "squirmy dance" here.
Music, please!
(Would Igloo, who is thought to be a comedienne, be a good dancer?)
(It's "Dance in the Rhythm" by Kim Wan Sun!)
It's Kim Wan Sun's song.
(She seems very stiff.)
The squirmy part is about to begin.
(Where are you going?)
Yes, it must be this part.
(She looks like an earthworm wiggling forward.)
- She's weird. - She's definitely older.
It's like a female version of an old man's dance.
(It looks like an old man's dance.)
That's it. All right.
(He seems confused.)
She's a horrible dancer.
(She's a horrible dancer!)
(She can no longer use her shoes as an excuse.)
Earlier, Jang Hyuk said that she might be a comedienne.
- I do not think she is. - She's not a comedienne?
- Yes. - There's no way she's a comedienne.
You don't think she is.
You must know how comedians dance.
There are usually key moves that stand out.
Exactly. Nothing stood out in her dance, though.
- There was nothing memorable. - Look at her.
- It was so boring. - That's comedienne's squirmy dance.
- Let me see. - Look at Bong Sun.
- That's it. - That's how comediennes do it.
- I see. - All right. That's enough.
- "Don't underestimate comediennes." - Stop it already!
- Hey! - Enough is enough!
It's because...
- Bong Sun is such a good dancer. - Bong Sun, I'm so impressed!
Senior comedians don't let you dance if you dance like that.
- They'll crush your passion. - Exactly.
They'll kill it. Someone like her cannot become a comedienne.
I think...
I really know who Igloo is.
She used to dance just like that when she was a singer.
She's the only person who has a body frame that looks like that.
The way she sings is the same, too.
(She dances like this.)
- Hwang Hye Young? - Oh, right!
- Hwang Hye Young? - That's from "One and a Half".
(It doesn't really look like dance, but it is.)
(Is Igloo Hwang Hye Young?)
- Those moves tell me that it's her. - You think it's Hye Young.
Now, let's look at Gasoline's dance.
She prepared ballet-style dance for us.
- Her dance will be elegant. - She's so graceful.
Music, please!
(Elegant classical music begins.)
Gosh, she's very graceful. The music is elegant.
It must be hard to dance in that dress.
(She looks dainty.)
(Then she changes forward all of a sudden.)
She's a swan.
She's a swan, everyone. It's ballet. It must be from "Swan Lake".
(Pecking)
(She almost lost balance there.)
That's the end!
(She ended it with a yoga posture.)
(Laughing)
- That was quite funny. - Yes, it was.
I must say that the classical music and her dance moves...
made me think of the word, "prenatal education".
- Prenatal education. - Yes.
- Do you think she's married? - Yes, I think so.
- I also think she has a kid. - You think she's a mum.
We've watched their dance.
Now, I'll give you a chance to listen to her real voice.
She'll imitate three different animals.
The first one is a fierce cat.
(Miaowing)
(Don't touch me!)
- Goodness. - Gosh, that's so scary.
- The ending was weird. - Yes, I agree.
I think I saw your saliva at the end. Am I wrong?
- The ending was so odd. - Am I right?
All right. Now, she'll show us a sensitive monkey.
(I'm hungry! Give me food now!)
(She imitates the gestures perfectly, too.)
Oh, my. That was very good!
Gosh, you're really good at this.
There's one more. She'll imitate a teddy bear.
Oh, this teddy bear talks when you press its belly.
If you don't mind, I'll go ahead and press.
All right. I'm pressing.
I love you. I love you.
- Good. - She's cute.
Guys, she has abs.
Seriously?
(That was unexpected!)
I felt her abs.
Seong Ju. Why did you have to touch her belly like that?
Think about it. He's so weird.
- Gu Ra is right. - You should've just...
gently put your finger on it. Why did you press it like that?
- I can't do this any more. - You're so strange.
- I just did what I was asked to do. - Look, Seong Ju.
There was no reason for you to actually press it.
Gu Ra still can't approve of her skills. Let's see one more, then.
It's a loud crow. Show us!
(Cawing)
(Her voice sounds raspy.)
I know the answer. The old lady in "Country Diaries".
(Let me try.)
Isn't what I did closer to a real crow? I did a good job, right?
Wait, did I just ruin that for her?
Seong Ju, why do you keep trying to outshine the contestants?
- I wasn't aware of it. - You're really weird.
Why did you do that when you should have tried to make her feel better?
- You're such an oddball. - I didn't know. I'm sorry.
- He's ruining the show. - You ruined the reaction!
I apologise. Why in the world did I do that?
I'm very sorry. I'm sure that has surprised all of you.
I'm thinking that...
Igloo must have a job where she has to talk a lot.
- I thought she'd be an actress, - An actress!
But she's multitalented.
- Right. - So my guess is Seo Yu Ri.
- Seo Yu Ri? - Yes.
MLT 29.
Counting down to the beginning of live broadcast.
- I see! - Her name popped on my mind.
If it's her, Gu Ra would definitely recognise her.
Yu Ri doesn't have abs.
- How do you know? - How do you know that?
Yu Ri and I do the same TV show together as you know,
so I've seen old photos of her...
- in various costumes. - She could've started working out.
- Developing abs takes time. - How do you know?
(Why did that come up suddenly?)
- And Gasoline is... - What do you think of Gasoline?
Ever since her performance started, I've been writing down...
detailed notes about her everything in order to analyse her.
(She has a powerful voice.)
When she was singing, I noticed that she's good...
in conveying lyrics clearly.
You must possess superb singing skills to be able to do that.
I'm getting a feeling that we might witness...
an enthronement of a female King of Mask Singer today.
- You think the throne can be hers. - Yes.
- I'm certain of it. - Can you guess who she is?
Sitting on the throne will make her look like the Olympic flame.
- Yes. - Aren't I right?
(The international event is just around the corner.)
(From Bulgwang-dong in Korea to Rio de Janeiro in Brazil)
(Look, I see the flame!)
It's perfect. She'll look just like the Olympic flame.
(It will ignite the spirit of fair play.)
- It suits her perfectly. - It's just perfect.
You're the Olympic flame. Go up there now!
- The Olympics is coming up quickly. - Precisely.
- You need to ignite. - Of course.
It's the Olympics season soon, so you can just go sit there...
- like the Olympic flame. - She's the flame.
All right. I'll now announce...
the result of the last match...
of Round One.
Between the two masked singer, who will move on to Round Two?
I'll reveal the winner now!
(The winner will be announced now!)
(Gasoline ignited the entire stage with her charisma...)
(as well as her irresistible husky voice.)
(Igloo mesmerised everyone with her unique voice...)
(that sounds clear and refreshing.)
We're about to find out the last masked singer...
who will move on to Round Two.
Who is the winner of this showdown?
The winner is...
- The winner is... - The winner is...
(The winner is...)
(Both masked singers have energetic and powerful voices.)
(Who will have won the audience's hearts...)
(and move on to Round Two?)
Who will be the winner?
Which one of them will compete against Electric Fan...
in the next round? Please show us!
The winner of this match...
will move on to the next round.
Who will be the winner?
Which one of them will compete against Electric Fan...
in the next round? Please show us!
(Bulgwang-dong Gasoline won!)
Bulgwang-dong Gasoline won.
(Fire up, Gasoline!)
Go, Gasoline!
- Yes! - Gasoline won.
(She'll move on to Round Two.)
(Good job!)
Bulgwang-dong Gasoline beat Igloo.
She will move on to Round Two.
(73 votes versus 26 votes)
The score is 73 to 26.
The difference is quite big.
Please return to the waiting room and get ready for the next round.
Please congratulate her with an applause. Great job.
(She walks fearlessly.)
I'll do my best again on Round Two.
I'll give my everything!
She's a fun-loving person, and she's also an amazing singer.
Who could she be?
Let's watch her solo performance...
and find out who she is.
Please give her a big hand!
(Her identity will be revealed during this performance.)
Her voice sounds very sweet and refreshing...
- You think so? - at the same time.
- Hwang Hye Young? - Oh, right!
As soon as she said "hello", I was like, "That's Seo Yu Ri!"
I think she has a lot of experience performing on stage,
but she is not a singer.
- She looked like a comedienne. - I see.
("Romantic Cat" by Cherry Filter)
This is a very difficult song!
(Her charisma has already captivated everyone!)
(Her sexy voice mesmerises the listeners.)
That's it!
(Who is she?)
(A refreshingly cool voice)
(I am a romantic cat)
(She has a charismatic stage presence.)
(Dancing)
Now, Igloo, please take off your mask...
and reveal your face.
(Awesome!)
(No way!)
They are all surprised.
- Why? - Who is she?
Who is she?
Igloo, please take off your mask and reveal your face.
This person is...
Seo Yu Ri, a voice actress.
(Miss MLT is here!)
I got it right!
(Unbelievable)
It's Seo Yu Ri.
(No one knew about Seo Yu Ri's hidden talent.)
(When she waves her hand, )
(the crowd goes wild!)
(I should have gotten it right.)
(Scream!)
(Raise your hands.)
(This is exciting!)
(They are enchanted by her.)
(She finishes with a bow.)
(A performance filled with a cool voice and burning passion)
That was exciting.
(I see her every week. How could I miss this?)
Please say hi to the viewers.
Hello. I'm Seo Yu Ri.
All right.
(She debuted as a voice actress in 2008.)
(She has performed in many roles.)
(She has thousands of voices.)
Don't play with someone like Jin Gu.
(She is a voice actress, Miss MLT.)
Hello. I am Seo Yu Ri of My Little Television.
(She is unpredictable.)
All right! Godori!
(She was given the Best Rookie Award at MBC Entertainment Awards 2015.)
- Thank you. - Congratulations.
This is the only one available in Korea.
(A multitalented entertainer who is also going into acting.)
On "My Little Television", you are Miss MLT.
- Yes. Hello. - I actually...
(That's the voice!)
I thought you would be very conceited and cold.
You know how to have fun.
I am shocked because someone said that I wasn't funny.
(She's shocked.)
It's just one person's opinion.
Since I couldn't speak, I tried to use the body language.
I want to talk to you later.
- He's apologizing. - Yes.
Gu Ra,
you had no idea, did you? You worked together for a while now.
- Actually, I... - Yes.
Had heard that Yu Ri cannot sing well.
I heard that she was a terrible singer...
and she sang horribly on one of my shows.
- Really? - On "Three Wheels".
- Was she on "Three Wheels"? - I had no idea she sang so well.
You do remember singing horribly, don't you?
- I was there, too. - Yes, that's right.
She sang horribly.
I was surprised because she sang so well.
Did that go on the air?
She was on "Three Wheels."
I think my singing scene was edited out.
- Really? - I was so terrible.
She was edited because she was horrible.
- So her singing was cut out. - Yes.
- She must have been bad. - She has improved a lot.
She sang really well.
- She got better. - She must have practised hard.
She decided to compete on King of Mask Singer...
because she wanted to get rid of bias.
Yes, I had many emotional wounds as a child...
and lacked self-confidence.
I've heard people criticising me about my singing.
Even when I debuted, some people doubted me.
You are too fat and your face is too big to be on television.
(You are fat and your face is too big.)
I heard these criticisms.
You are making many people feel bad.
(She is making many people feel bad.)
Their self-confidence is dropping.
I am amazed that I am on the stage right now.
I think I was trapping myself with biases of others.
- "I can't sing. I can't perform." - I see.
I think I got rid of those biases.
Did you gain more self-confidence?
Yes. I will do better next time.
You did very well.
- Thank you. - Just be confident.
She got rid of the bias that she would be conceited and cold.
Today, she showed us how attractive and talented she is.
Give a big round of applause to Seo Yu Ri.
(Give it up for Seo Yu Ri, who has persevered!)
It's so hot!
Now that I have regained my full vision, it feels great.
I will never forget today's events.
I feel like I've overcome an obstacle.
My perseverance has allowed me to go on King of Mask Singer.
I feel like I can do anything now that I've gotten rid of this bias.
What should I try next?
(Next up, "Real Men 2")
