Last week,
the Kings of Mask Singer were back as the panellists.
And...
there were masked singers who were extraordinary.
One of them surprised Music Commander with his shouts.
Even there was a competition for the next host of King of Mask Singer.
Whose voice did you like better?
(Lee Sung Bae won.)
Please go back to your waiting room and go home.
However, the fierce competition must go on.
We have four masked singers for the 36th King of Mask Singer.
1988 Olympics Mascot Hodori.
Herdsman Raises Cows.
I Thought I Could Stab You Fencing Man.
I'm Excited Hurray Radio.
And we had the new female King of Mask Singer in 28 weeks...
who dreams of becoming a new legend.
She captivated the panellists' hearts with her sentimental voice.
Bulgwang-dong Gasoline.
According to the online mobile survey, netizens' expectation...
for the 36th King of Mask Singer is...
I Thought I Could Stab You Fencing Man.
Bulgwang-dong Gasoline, the current King of Mask Singer...
ranked second.
He sounds experienced.
I thought it was incredible.
It will be entirely different in Round Two.
They will surprise the previous Kings with their singing.
(Cheering)
Will Gasoline be able to stay on the throne?
The fierce competition begins now.
(King of Mask Singer)
The first match of Round Two, Semi-finals.
He is a strong man who beat the announcer, Lee Sung Bae.
He's got the vocal cords made of steel.
1988 Olympics Mascot Hodori.
(1988 Olympics Mascot Hodori)
(He walks in with the tiger energy.)
(He is Hodori.)
- How cute! - He has the vocal cords of steel.
Uncle is here. Uncle!
Among people around our age,
who sings like him?
Let's listen to how he sings solo in Round Two.
Which song will he sing?
(He touched the audience's hearts with a deep and warm voice.)
He must be related to the year 1988. I think he lives in Jamsil.
The way he counted beats...
reminded me of the method Jun In Kwon uses.
He counted beats like this.
I think he is a singer who was active in 1988.
(He bounced his hips in a sexy way.)
(My goodness.)
Spin the streamer hat.
(He even span the streamer hat in a sexy way.)
I believe he is older than I am.
If he is a singer, he could be someone like Jeon Young Rok.
- Maybe he is Yoo Hyun Sang. - Yoo Hyun Sang.
(Many panellists judged Hodori to be an experienced singer.)
(His identity is shrouded in mystery.)
(Which winning move will he make in Round Two?)
("Short Hair" by Cho Yong Pil)
What a choice of song.
(This song is originally sung by the king of K-Pop.)
(Compared to Round One, his voice sounds lighter.)
(This is fun.)
(I miss the dazzling girl in my memories today.)
(Having fun)
(The memories grow fonder when I am lonely.)
(Sighing)
(He expresses loneliness with falsetto.)
(Hodori reminds everyone of the girl in their memories.)
He sounds like an experienced singer.
(His performance reflects years of experience.)
(He plays with the rhythm,)
(but becomes serious and uses his manly power...)
(to convey loneliness.)
(Hodori is the best.)
(Shouting)
(The desperate yearning echoes in the studio.)
(Wow)
(House Band)
(Hodori helped the audience take a trip down memory lane.)
(His performance of "Short Hair" was both cheerful and soulful.)
- Bravo. - Let's go, Hodori.
He was the best.
His gesture is like someone in our generation.
(Like this)
He sings in the style of the 90s.
I think he is a singer of dance songs.
- He probably sang dance songs. - You think he sang dance songs.
- I don't agree with you. - I think he is an old singer...
who used to sing dance songs.
Opposing him...
is a masked singer who beat Kim Sun Kyung...
with a powerful voice that penetrated the July rain.
Herdsman Raises Cows.
(Herdsman Raises Cows)
(Here comes the man who raises cow.)
(Energetic)
(He is handsome.)
(He is cool.)
I am excited for his performance.
- The mask makes him look handsome. - I know.
(What kind of performance has Herdsman prepared?)
(His shout was charismatic.)
(His powerful voice commanded the stage.)
There is no doubt that he is a singer.
I think he sang rock music for a long time.
He will imitate Hyun Woo's voice.
My dear, did you forget about me?
Did you truly forget about me?
Hyun Woo failed to hit high notes earlier.
- Have confidence. - He is provoking Hyun Woo.
His competitive streak is showing.
He wasn't so determined earlier.
Waiting
Day by day
His voice reminded me of a vocalist of Norazo.
- Lee Hyuk. - Yes.
(His second performance will begin.)
(His identity remains a mystery.)
(To bring Hodori down,)
(which song did Herdsman prepare to sing in Round Two?)
("UFO" by Panic)
What was that?
("UFO" by Panic)
This is a great song.
(Shall we go on a UFO ride?)
(Dancing)
(Let's enjoy it.)
(Wow!)
(His cheerful voice catches their ears.)
(His refreshing voice is reminiscent of the blue sky.)
(Who is he?)
(Listening to his nasal voice feels like floating in space.)
(This is fun.)
(His refreshing shout will reach the sky.)
(The audience loves Herdsman.)
(Shall we go?)
(His performance makes everyone want to fly away with him.)
(His voice is refreshing and free-spirited.)
(He is a powerful vocalist with years of experience.)
(There is an energy of happiness within him.)
(Drop the beat.)
(Boom, clap)
(This is Herdsman's style.)
(He has an inescapable charm like a black hole.)
(Deejaying)
(Moving to the beat)
(His refreshing shout will reach the sky.)
(Shall we fly with Herdsman?)
(Everyone feels as though their hearts are floating.)
(Herdsman filled the stage with cheerful energy.)
(Fly with us)
(His refreshing voice chases away the heat.)
(It makes us feel as though we're in a UFO...)
(flying into the universe!)
(His endless passion...)
(made his performance so satisfying and gratifying.)
(Herdsman, you're the best!)
(Everyone is still thrilled by his performance.)
That was the first match of Semi-finals, Round Two.
The two masked singers flaunted their charisma in this showdown.
What kind of turns will these two masked singers' fate take?
All votes are in.
Hyun Woo, what did you think of their performances?
Both of their performances...
reminded me of horses.
- Running horses? - Yes.
Herdsman's performance was like a wild horse.
- I see. - A wild horse running through...
- the field freely. - An uncontrollable horse.
- I felt the energy. - He was like a wild horse.
On the other hand, Hodori reminded me of a well-trained,
- skilled horse. - I see.
- A well-trained horse. - Yes.
He was like a horse that is skilled at jumping over obstacles...
as well as at controlling his pace and speed.
I definitely noticed how skilled he is.
Their performances clearly revealed their unique strengths.
Young Seok, what did you think of their solo performances?
Both of them seemed as though they miss performing on stage.
In Hodori's case, he showcased...
a perfect understanding of the song.
His musical talent allowed him to make the song his own.
I think he used to be a professional singer.
I see. Are you sure that he's a professional singer?
Yes. I could tell how much he's been yearning to perform on the stage.
What about Herdsman?
I felt his thirst for performing on stage...
because he showed too much in the first verse.
He got too excited because he's been wanting to be on the stage so much.
Because of it, his voice went a bit hoarse in the second verse...
and his singing wasn't as stable.
It didn't look bad at all though.
It didn't affect his singing negatively...
because he showed us his ceaseless efforts...
to carry his passion and power in the first verse...
- all the way until the end. - Yes.
I think it was a very wonderful performance.
(Thank you.)
I'd like to ask him. Didn't you struggle a bit in the second verse?
Yes. I was too excited at the beginning.
What you said is so accurate.
Hyun Chul, what did you think of their solo performances?
I really enjoyed them.
Young Seok said that Herdsman struggled in the second verse...
because he sang all of his might in the first verse,
but I personally think that the song itself is written that way.
You have to sing powerfully from the beginning...
and continue singing that way until the end.
- All the way until the end. - Yes.
He sang it really well with his voice that has a bit of nasal sound.
- I see. - So...
I think his performance was perfect.
And about Hodori, when he entered the stage,
he did this with his hand.
Right.
(Flicking)
(He began with this hand movement.)
That made me think that he used to belong to a group...
or a band.
I think he used to be a member of a vocal group.
Because of this?
This is generally called...
the thump slap.
(He sings the beat.)
This. This is...
(What was that?)
Isn't that "Met You by Chance"?
It is. In the song, "Met You by Chance"...
(He sings the beat again.)
(Yes!)
Only those who used to be in a band can do it.
That's right.
I know that some people play the bass guitar like this.
As far as I know, only those...
who like to show off their flair play it like this.
I think he used to belong to a band. He must understand the flair, too.
I think he's a bit older as well.
There's someone who comes to my mind.
It's...
Hong Seo Beom.
(The former guitarist, singer Hong Seo Beom)
- Hong Seo Beom? - His voice sounded very much...
like Hong Seo Beom's.
I think only those at his level of experience...
can change Cho Yong Pil's song like this.
He started as a member of a band.
That's right. He's a very talented musician.
Watching Hodori's performance sent me on a trip...
down memory lane and reminded me of myself as a school girl...
with a bob haircut and school uniform.
When he sang the part with "that girl" at the end,
I was like, "That's me. I'm that girl."
(The girl with a well-combed bob hair)
That's me.
(The girl whom he missed so much)
I'm that girl.
The song definitely walked me down memory lane.
- It was such a great performance. - You're smitten by him.
I wanted to get a big hug from him.
He'll roar at you.
- Roar. Hey, I'm that girl. - That's right.
On the other hand, Herdsman's performance inspired me...
to keep going in order to make my future brighter.
"I must embrace challenges and run towards my goals."
It made me feel as though I should fly towards my goals.
You know that burning passion, right?
"I cannot stop. I cannot go backwards."
I was able to revisit my past and think about my future,
thanks to their amazing performances.
The One, did you get different impressions compared to last week?
I now have a better idea of who Hodori is.
Someone came to my mind, so I thought, "I caught you."
I think he probably thought of this performance...
as a chance to reassure himself.
I could feel his passion and desire...
to reset his standards as a musician,
so I wanted to thank him as a fellow musician.
There's something I'd like to say to Hodori.
Have you been well?
Do you think he's older than you?
Yes. He sang one of my favourite songs. I can sing it, too.
I see. You felt his passion.
If I'm right,
he's probably 12 to 15kg heavier now compared to his prime time.
If he's the one you're thinking of, right?
- Yes. - You think he's gained weight.
It sounds like The One has an idea of who he might be.
All right. To help you guys guess who he is,
Hodori will imitate Song Chang Sik.
(It's hard to imitate...)
(Song Chang Sik's unique way of singing.)
Let's hear it now!
(The girl at the cigarette shop in my neighbourhood is pretty)
(Singing)
That's it.
(Smiling)
- That was Song Chang Sik. - That wasn't enough.
Don't you think he should show us something stronger?
Yes, there's one more. He'll imitate Kim Jong Seo this time.
Show us Kim Jong Seo!
(I love you)
(Our happy moments)
(The way he coughs sounds exactly like Kim Jong Seo.)
I'm sorry.
(I'm sorry.)
All right.
Now, I'll give you all a chance to hear Herdsman's real voice.
He says he can imitate a helicopter sound. Show us!
(The helicopter is taking off.)
(It sounds exactly the same.)
Oh, my. That requires a special skill.
He held the microphone at a distance and blew air into it.
- It's not easy. - I can do it, too.
(Seong Ju can do it, too!)
- All of us here can do it. - Everyone can do it.
(Helicopters are coming.)
Everyone here can do it.
Oh, everyone can do it.
I've seen this a few times.
Now, he'll imitate the sound of paper being ripped.
Let's hear it!
(Ripping)
I can do it, too.
Would you like a piece of paper?
We can do it as well.
(Gu Ra imitates the sound.)
(Young Seok tries, too.)
Do it again!
(It's easy.)
(It's difficult.)
(Everyone can do it.)
Wasn't this popular among people who were born in the 70s?
- Yes. - That's right.
I've seen many senior comedians do things like this.
Young comedians rarely do these things.
It's usually those who were born in the 70s.
They whisper this sound to the younger comedians' ears.
It used to be popular when I was in grade seven.
(It was popular when I was a kid.)
No one does things like this these days.
- It was popular back in the day. - Yes.
Now, we'll show you photos of them...
- from their childhood. - Nice. Let's see the photos.
Show us Hodori's childhood photo!
Oh, my!
This photo is taken on his 100th day.
- He is a handsome boy. - Wasn't he pretty well off?
I can see two nostrils wide open.
Yes. Does he look like who you think?
According to how his looks here,
his eyes and ears look exactly the same.
- Really? - Yes.
Hyun Woo, you are also good at looking at faces.
- How does he look? - I've retired.
- What? - I've retired.
Really?
- How do I look? - How does he look?
He looks like a snake.
You are right.
Your pupils stand out. The corners of your mouth, too.
Your eyes look very clear.
I think he's a very wise person.
As soon as I saw the photo,
I thought that he could be...
a great leader even though it's just a photo of him as a baby.
- He's a leadership material. - Yes.
I don't think he would ever stand in the back. He's always forward.
- I see. He'll march forward. - Yes.
He's someone who can lead people.
Right. He's like a general.
- He's like an army general. - Yes.
You think he's like an army general.
- He's certainly... - What are you basing this on?
It's the way he's sitting.
- Even though he's a baby, - Yes.
it feels like he would say, "Hey, there."
You think he's saying "Hey, there."
As you said,
- his eyes and hands are a little... - Yes.
- Those are the eyes of a leader. - I think you're right.
I feel bad to say this to a baby, but it looks like...
he doesn't like the food on the table.
- He doesn't like the food? - He might say...
- "What is this?" - He doesn't like the food.
"I'm 100 days old now. You should give me better food."
All right.
You should say your catch phrase, "That's a crying baby."
That's a crying baby.
Good. Now, I'll show you Herdsman's picture when he was young.
We should see his picture.
I'll show you Herdsman's picture when he was a boy.
Here it is.
- He's drinking coke. - Let's focus on the bottle.
A little boy is drinking coke.
The coke bottle looked different...
when I was young. The letters looked different.
- Okay. - I think it's older.
He must be born in the early 1970s.
I think those two are around the same age.
- They're around the same age. - You think they're similar in age.
Can you show us a little dancing?
I think we can guess who they are if we see them dancing.
- Would you like to see his dance? - Yes.
Herdsman's dance.
He says he can do the dance of Seo Taiji and Boys.
He's my age.
(Guess how old he is.)
This song is "Hayeoga" by Seo Taiji and Boys.
(One, two)
(Dancing hard)
(Awkward)
(He's stretching his arms.)
Many moves are mixed in his dancing.
(All right.)
He's showing us all kinds of dance.
(Let's go.)
(Herdsman's awkward dancing style)
That's it.
(You did great.)
I can't feel anything from his dancing.
- It was different from his singing. - It was different.
His dancing looked a bit half-hearted,
and he seemed relaxed on stage.
I think he's someone who has great passion for music.
He didn't really prepare good individual skills.
I think he used to be very popular.
(Was he from a popular group?)
He also looks at people like this.
Yes. All right.
Now, I'll announce the result...
for the first match of Round Two, Semi-finals.
1988 Olympics Mascot Hodori...
and Herdsman Raises Cows.
Between these two masked singers, who will be the winner?
I'll announce the winner now.
(We'll reveal the winner now.)
(He has great sense of rhythm and stage manners.)
(Hodori has a soft and beautiful voice.)
(A refreshing powerful voice)
(Herdsman's great performance fascinates you.)
The winner of this match is...
(King of Mask Singer)
- The winner is... - The winner is...
I don't know who will win. I really don't.
(Tension builds up.)
Who is it?
(You can never know.)
Who is the winner?
Is it Hodori or Herdsman?
It was a close match.
Who is the winner selected by you?
The winner who will move on to Round Three is...
(King of Mask Singer)
(Herdsman Raises Cows wins.)
Herdsman won.
(He will ride on a UFO and fly to Round Three.)
Yes!
Herdsman Raises Cows is the winner.
(The score is 34 to 65.)
The score is 65 to 34.
Gosh, Herdsman.
Herdsman won by 30 votes.
Please go back to your waiting room.
Please give him a big hand.
(Hodori's identity will be revealed soon.)
I was really surprised.
I thought I would lose.
I'll do my best to show you great performance.
In Round Two,
you gave us pleasant energy with an unexpected stage.
He is 1988 Olympics Mascot Hodori.
Who could he be?
Now, Hodori, please take off your mask and show us your face.
He understands the music completely and makes it his own.
I think he was either in a group or a band.
I think he used to sing dance music.
- I think he has a face of a leader. - A face of a leader.
Maybe he is the singer I like.
How have you been?
Hodori, please take off your mask and show us your face.
(Who is Hodori?)
(Oh, my goodness.)
(Surprised)
What is it? Who are you?
He looks good.
(He stands up to see Hodori's face.)
Please take off your mask and show us your face.
He is Hong Jong Gu, the main vocalist of the group, Noise.
(Noise?)
(It's nice to see you.)
(Oh my.)
(I can't believe it's Noise.)
(I knew it.)
Hello. I'm Hong Jong Gu from Noise.
(Hello. I'm Hong Jong Gu from Noise.)
(In 1992, 24 years ago)
(They made a glamorous debut with the song, "What I Wanted from You".)
(They made a big hit with "You in My Imagination".)
(They were a popular group in the 90s.)
(The lyrics and melody of their songs still sound great.)
Noise wins!
Yes. It's Noise!
(Hong Jong Gu, the leader of...)
(the legendary group, Noise, has come back.)
- It's been so long. - Yes.
How have you been?
I've been working hard.
I teach students at universities...
and also run my business.
Did you gain 13kg since you stopped working as a singer?
Yes. I gained 13kg exactly.
(I gained 13kg exactly.)
The One knew it very precisely.
It goes, "What I wanted from you".
(Happy)
- I know. - I was a big fan of your group.
- Thank you. - I knew it was him right away.
Gosh. The One correctly guessed it was Jong Gu.
Hyun Woo looked at his picture as a baby and said...
he has a face of a leader.
- I was right. - You're good at reading faces.
Those were the eyes of a leader.
Yes. He's the leader of Noise.
I'm so relieved.
You were right. I'd like to point that out.
I heard Jong Gu wanted people...
to evaluate his voice on our show.
When I was working as a singer,
people often told me I had a pretty voice.
Right.
(A sweet voice which was rare for a dance singer in the 90s)
I was wondering if you still think I have a sweet voice.
- I see. - I wondered if my voice got old.
He wants to know if he still has his charming voice.
When you sang, "One day she gave me",
you sang it in a cheerful rhythm.
Your sense of rhythm is so great.
That's why I thought you were a much younger person.
- I was really surprised. - Thank you.
When you later sang, "When I get lonely",
(He sang it very powerfully.)
- you sounded like a rock musician. - Yes.
I was curious whether you were a dance singer or a rock musician.
I didn't know he would be an older man.
When I was young, the first album that I bought with my allowance...
was the first album of Noise.
Your first album was released in 1992, right?
- Yes. - It was released in 1992.
- Thank you so much for coming. - Thank you.
- It's good to see you. - All right.
- It's so nice to see you. - Thank you.
It's an honour.
Today, Hong Jong Gu showed us...
a great stage...
with his timeless sweet voice.
- Thank you. - Please give him a big hand.
(We look forward to Jong Gu's bright future.)
Gosh, it's Noise.
(Go, Jong Gu!)
I feel relieved...
and also disappointed.
It was very exciting...
and thrilling time for me.
I also felt a sense of accomplishment.
I was so grateful that people were delighted to see me.
I thought maybe they haven't...
forgotten about me.
I was grateful and touched.
I want my son to see this, but he's too young.
He's four months old now. He will see it someday.
I hope it will surprise him when he sees it.
(He hopes his son will be proud of him.)
Yes. It was very meaningful.
(It was a meaningful experience.)
At Round Two,
Herdsman Raises Cows beat Jong Gu and moved on to Round Three.
It's the second match of Round Two, Semi-finals.
He beat the singer Lady Jane.
I Thought I Could Stab You...
Fencing Man!
(I Thought I Could Stab You Fencing Man)
(Epee, fleuret, livre)
(I will touch your heart in a second.)
(I can't wait.)
I've been so curious about him.
I don't think he's an idol singer.
Really?
I think he's an idol singer.
Let's see.
(He has a gentle and mellow voice.)
(He showed a sweet stage in Round One.)
His voice has a power that makes you reminisce...
and feel romantic.
He has a very magical voice,
so I think he's a singer.
He looks like an idol singer.
That's what he seems to insist.
This is Hongik University Station.
(His speciality is as good as that of a comedian.)
(He speaks Chinese.)
This is Hongik University Station.
(He dances like an old man.)
(Who's he?)
(This is a barn-burning moment.)
(What song will Fencing Man sing?)
("If You" by Big Bang)
(A plaintive melody fills the studio.)
(This song is "If You" by Big Bang.)
(Wow.)
- Wow. - This is nice.
(His delicate and soulful voice...)
(draws out cries of admiration from the beginning.)
(His R&B singing style is...)
(emotional as well as melancholic.)
It's really soft.
(The song calmly resounds in the quiet stage.)
(The sense of youth and sorrow of love...)
(seem to fill the space.)
(Who could Fencing Man be?)
Gosh, it's so good.
(Old memories come across our minds in this moment.)
(Touched)
(There are regret and longing.)
(If you feel the same,)
(could you come back?)
(Fencing Man's "If You" got the heart of the song.)
(He's great.)
(The panellists give a standing ovation to the performance.)
- Bravo. - He's good.
(Even the former kings are in love with his performance.)
I loved it.
Bravo.
He sings well and his breathing lasts long.
His voice is really good.
The challenger is...
the singer who defeated Bong Man Dae, the movie director.
His massive voice...
will fill your ears.
I'm Excited Hurray Radio.
(This is the Radio era.)
(Welcome.)
I expect so much from him.
- Show us what you've got. - He looks like an idol.
We'll know whether he's an idol or not if we listen to his song.
(He sways.)
(He sways and has a husky voice.)
(Also,)
(he sang unexpectedly high notes at the end of the song.)
He isn't singing in his real voice.
(Dancing)
(His dancing skill is extraordinary.)
The dance moves take a step ahead.
I can't help thinking that he's a rock musician.
Can a rock musician memorise those moves?
Can a rock musician not memorise dance moves?
They improvise the moves.
Rock musicians don't memorise the choreography.
That's right.
(Rock musicians don't memorise the choreography.)
He's improvising the moves.
(Music Commander, a rock musician, made his points.)
Right.
He's a member of an old idol group.
I think he's an idol who loves rock music.
- An idol who loves rock. - Yes.
(His identity is yet to be known.)
(He dragged the former kings' attention.)
(What would his second performance be like?)
("Love" by Yim Jae Beum)
- Gosh. - Come on.
(One bar with his sweet and melodious voice...)
(is enough to enchant the listeners.)
(Gosh.)
(Of all those people,)
(how did we come to meet each other?)
(His voice is really sexy.)
(It's so good.)
(He sings well.)
(The aftermath of love is so bad...)
(that he can't say he's sorry.)
(He wishes badly...)
(to hold her who's leaving him.)
(He's the best.)
(Wow.)
(Whistles)
(In this thrilling performance,)
(the listeners could feel Hurray Radio's earnestness.)
(He's fantastic.)
(It is a heart-wrenching love story.)
(The grief is shown in his sentimental voice.)
(Admiring)
(Moved to tears)
(Thrilled)
(Parting is hard and painful.)
(Cheering)
He is so good.
(He is so good.)
It was awesome.
He is a great singer.
(It feels like they just finished a novel about a sad love story.)
(It is touching.)
It was awesome.
It was amazing.
It was great.
(They fell in love with Hurray Radio's charm.)
It was amazing.
He's wearing...
a mask for the King of Mask Singer.
I think so.
The second match of Round Two is over.
Whose voice do you want to listen one more time?
We have two masked singers here.
Who do you want to see again in Round Three?
All votes are in.
I saw the panellists stirred while he sang.
Heung Kook just made his mouth like a pig.
(Whistling)
He seems to be very impressed.
- Heung Kook? - Yes.
I usually don't stay until the end of shooting.
I am in the special position that I can go home anytime I want.
You didn't leave early today.
I didn't leave early last week...
and I also stay until now today.
Now I understand why King of Mask Singer is so popular...
and beloved by a lot of people sitting right here.
I enjoyed Fencing Man's performance very much.
To be honest, I underestimated Hurray Radio.
- I see. - I made light of him.
How could you be so good at singing?
How could you tear at my heart like that?
I even whistled at you.
That's right.
In fact, he rarely praises singers.
He only cares about membership fee for Korea Singers Association.
You are right. He only cares if a singer paid the fee or not.
That's right. He doesn't care about their song at all.
If Hurray Radio becomes the King of Mask Singer,
I'd like to treat him dinner as the president of the Association.
(He's even willing to buy him dinner.)
- He is proud of Hurray Radio. - He is amazing.
- You like him very much. - Yes.
He was very impressed.
While they sang,
the panellists even had a meeting.
They murmured with excitement.
Who is he?
I have no idea.
(The panellists had a meeting after listening to the songs.)
Jang Hyuk, how did you like their performances?
I was deeply moved by their performances.
I enjoyed it a a lot.
I'd like to talk about Fencing Man first.
He has a unique singing style of crying.
- Crying? - Yes, crying.
Do you mean it sounded like crying?
He just sings in a nonchalant way,
but his voice touches people's hearts deeply.
That's why I don't think he is an idol singer.
If he is an idol singer, it will be a big deal.
- A big deal? - Yes.
I really want to know who he is.
- Okay. - And...
Hurray Radio has a singing style of whining.
- Whining? - Yes.
It sounds like a child whining.
Because of love
It sounds like whining.
- Like a child? - Yes.
- "Dad." - He whines with his entire body...
moving like this.
(Shaking his body)
(Moving limply)
(Does he sing whining?)
"Buy me a toy."
He whines like that when he sings...
which makes people focus on his performance.
His performance was too good to be assessed.
Thank you for your amazing performance.
I see. It seems Young Seok was deeply moved by their performances.
- He cried. - He cried again.
Young Seok was moved to tears again.
Your tears made the mascara run down your face.
Is he wearing mascara?
(Feeling bitter)
It is cruel to pick only one person.
- I think so. - On the other hand,
I'm glad that I get to enjoy such great singing performances.
Fencing Man is good at singing...
in lower, middle and higher notes.
His voice sounds as sweet as...
ripe fruits in season...
But at the same time, it sounds as fresh...
as an unripe apple.
His voice sounds experienced and fresh at the same time.
Meanwhile, Hurray Radio looked like...
as if he was teaching the Kings of Mask Singer...
- how to sing. - I see.
He inspired the Kings of Mask Singer sitting here...
and even made them want to sing on the stage again.
(He is honoured.)
The One said "I should have sung a ballad song".
(I should have sung a ballad song.)
"I should have sung the song."
The One, did you feel that way?
I really wanted to sing that song.
I should have sung a ballad song.
- I'm telling you once again. - That's too bad.
I don't regret that I sang "Good Day".
It was a new try for me which was fun.
But now I think that...
- I should have sung a ballad song. - You should've sung a ballad song.
He seems to be a seasoned singer.
- I see. He is a good singer. - He knows what to conceal...
and what to show off.
In the sea of various musical instruments,
he let his voice dance riding the waves.
He knows how to do so.
- You mean he is a master. - Yes.
Hurray Radio knows how to sing with a deep voice...
putting split sounds of music all together.
He knows how to sing an eight-beat song.
An eight-beat song?
I mean a song with a deep melody.
He can sing those songs very well.
Can you please explain it in easy terms?
He can sing...
an eight-beat song with a deep tone.
- An eight-beat song? - What does that mean?
What is an eight-beat song?
It means you should twist your arm.
- Twisting my arm? - Let's just say okay.
It is what he meant.
You should sing twisting your arm.
- Do you mean it's like screaming? - It makes sense in a way.
Fencing Man has a 16-beat voice.
It is more detailed than an eight-beat voice.
You should twist your arm twice.
Let's just say it is what he meant.
You should twist your arm twice for a 16-beat song.
- Right. - It is that touching.
He sings a song with bold melodies...
by splitting every note.
Crush and Zion.T sing in that way.
I'd say Fencing Man is janchi guksu...
while Hurray Radio is kalguksu.
Janchi guksu and kalguksu?
Hyun Chul.
Let's go to a noodle restaurant after the shooting.
Great. Let's do that.
While Fencing Man was sing,
the LED lamps shined in the stage background.
It looked like as if he was in a spaceship.
I thought this watching the dreamlike performance.
If there were a living thing out there,
he might be the one that came to our planet...
- to sing a song. - Is he an alien?
- Did he come to the Earth to sing? - Yes.
He must be a famous singer in the universe.
I think so. He looked extraordinary.
- He was unique. - Yes.
He is a singer with a lovely voice.
Music Commander, how did you like their performances?
Both of them sang love songs.
Fencing Man sounded...
like a shy boy who doesn't like to take centre stage.
It was like he expressed his love...
whispering from the back.
Meanwhile, Hurray Radio sounded like...
as if he confessed his love to a woman...
to her face and asked her to love him back.
It was a straightforward expression of love.
He sounded like a tough boy's love story.
I think they told their love stories in their own ways.
I think both of them are very attractive.
I loved...
Fencing Man's breathing.
- You liked his breathing. - Yes.
It sounded so sad.
I didn't know a man's breathing could express sorrows.
It is what I realised today.
Why did you think his breathing expressed his sorrows?
He has his own way of breathing.
I can't even imitate it.
It's like a little boy shivering with cold.
And he needs a blanket.
"I'm cold."
- That's it. - He sounded like this.
His voice sounded like the shivering little boy.
He's got the sorrowful feeling...
- in his breathing? - Right. His breathing sounds sad.
Your breath was sexy.
All right. Now,
we will let you hear more of their voices...
in Round Two.
Who could they be?
Fencing Man will give a slightly lacking voice imitation.
He will imitate Choi Min Sik in "Nameless Gangster: Rules of Time".
"Hey! Do you know who I am?"
"I am old enough to be your great-grandfather."
"I thought you looked like a member of my family."
"You have the right build."
Let's end it here.
(That was great.)
That was pretty great.
Now, he will imitate Kim Sang Joong in "Bad Guys".
"You can discuss human rights..."
"when you are released from the prison."
"For now, you should be grateful..."
"for whatever you get."
(His voice imitation was right on point.)
He has a charming voice.
- I think Fencing Man... - Fencing Man.
is someone who was in a musical with me a year ago.
- I think he is Infinite's... - Infinite.
- Sung Kyu. - Sung Kyu.
Sung Kyu?
(He has a skinny body and a delicate voice.)
(He is the lead vocalist of his group.)
- Sung Kyu? - Yes. He has a similar build.
- He has released a solo album. - That's right.
This time, Hurray Radio will imitate animals.
The first one is a misunderstood owl.
He will imitate an owl that is misunderstood. Let's hear it.
Hoot.
(Misunderstood)
(Watching people's reactions)
- Okay. - You were misunderstood, right?
All right.
I am sure people felt how misunderstood he was.
The second animal he will imitate is a starling that cries all summer.
- That's unique. - A starling.
(Starling's cry)
It's a good imitation.
(Starling's cry)
He sounds like a starling.
(He imitated the sound perfectly.)
(Starling's cry)
I didn't know it would be that good.
There is another one.
He will imitate a dog's bark when the postman rings the doorbell.
I will play the postman.
Ding-dong.
(Barking)
- Ding-dong. - Stop ringing the doorbell.
Stop.
(Imitating starling's cry again)
Can you imitate a starling's cry when the postman rings the bell?
- Shall we hear that? - Yes.
Ding-dong.
(My mum is not home.)
He sounds exactly like a starling. I am impressed.
(His special talent was amazing.)
All right. Let's end it here.
Now, I will announce the result...
of the second match of Round Two.
All right.
(With a delicate and soulful voice,)
(Fencing Man expressed sadness.)
(With deep emotions,)
(Hurray Radio sang about desperate love.)
Who would be the winner who will move on to Round Three?
The winner is...
(The mysterious music show, King of Mask Singer)
(Panellists either shut their eyes, keep them wide open...)
(or blink out of curiosity.)
I don't know what to do.
(It's a nerve-wracking moment.)
The winner is...
Who is the winner,
Fencing Man or Hurray Radio?
The winner is...
(The mysterious music show, King of Mask Singer)
Who will move on to Round Three?
(Hurray Radio won.)
Hurray Radio won.
(The winner is Hurray Radio.)
(Cheer and sigh interweave the studio.)
Hurray Radio!
- Hurray Radio! - Hurray Radio!
(Play the music, Hurray Radio.)
Hurray Radio beat Fencing Man with a final score of 68 to 31.
Hurray Radio, please return to your waiting room.
Please give him a round of applause.
(See you in Round Three.)
He has a charming voice.
I am in a daze.
(I am in a daze.)
I will do my best.
(I will do my best in Round Three.)
I Thought I Could Stab You Fencing Man.
It's the longest name we have seen on King of Mask Singer.
With his long name, Fencing Man made me struggle.
Let's find out who he is.
Please move to the back of the stage.
Now, Fencing Man, please take off your mask and reveal your face.
(He pierced people's hearts with a voice that deserves a gold medal.)
(He displayed unusual charms with a funny dance.)
He has a mystical voice.
He has a dreamlike voice.
A dreamlike voice.
He can sing even the most intense song in a delicate way.
I think he is a singer.
He has "idol" written all over him.
Is it written all over him?
- I think he is Sung Kyu. - Sung Kyu.
- Sung Kyu? - Sung Kyu?
Now, Fencing Man, please take off your mask and reveal your face.
(Screaming)
(My goodness.)
- Who is he? - Who is he?
Who is he?
(Everyone desperately wants to know his identity.)
Who are you?
Now, Fencing Man, please take off your mask and reveal your face.
He is the main vocalist of BTS, Jung Kook.
(He is Jung Kook of BTS.)
(It's a twist no one foresaw.)
Young artists so talented.
Jung Kook.
He is a member of BTS.
He is the main vocalist of BTS, Jung Kook.
Hello, I am the youngest member of BTS, Jung Kook.
It's nice to meet you.
(BTS debuted in 2013 with "No More Dream".)
(Jung Kook is the main vocalist of the group.)
("Boy In Luv", "I Need You", "Run" and "Fire" are their hit songs.)
(BTS won over a lot of fans with their charismatic group dance...)
(and became one of the most popular idol groups.)
(With "Fire", BTS made it onto Billboard Charts multiple times.)
(Jung Kook is the main vocalist of BTS.)
I heard you became an adult recently.
I turned 20 this year...
and wanted to celebrate for being an adult.
That's why I visited King of Mask Singer.
He wanted to celebrate his coming of age with a performance.
All right.
- His voice was so sweet. - His voice is incredible.
He is so handsome that I thought he was blessed with good looks.
I didn't know he could sing well.
- He sang very well. - Even though I knew his identity,
his performance surprised me very much.
We finally meet. I have to apologise to you.
I went to the US to see my daughter a while ago.
She told me that there is an idol group she likes.
She told me that the group is called BTS.
I forgot the name during my radio programme.
I called the group BLT instead.
I am not surprised.
You called the group BLT.
"Let's listen to a song by BLT."
(Let's listen to a song by BLT.)
This request was made by my daughter.
BLT... Wait, I got the name wrong.
Let's listen to "I Need You" by BTS.
We finally meet. Please tell the members that I am sorry.
He wants Jung Kook to relay an apology.
- I love you. My daughter loves you. - Thank you.
Even when we watch performance by BTS,
it's impossible to listen to each member's voice.
You don't sing like that in the group, do you?
- I lack in many ways as a vocalist. - That's not true.
He has the perfect voice for digital music.
Thank you.
When people listen to his voice with earphones,
they will say, "He has an amazing voice."
- That's the kind of voice he has. - That's right.
He sang with the sentimentality of a 20-year-old.
I was surprised to know that he is only 20 years old.
He sang "If You".
Thank you.
The way he breathed in and out left a strong impression.
How did you captivate me at such a young age?
What?
Would you be able to sing a bar with your breath?
She finds the way you breathe...
very charming.
(If it isn't too late)
(Can we go back to how it was?)
We can go back.
Let's go back!
I will turn back time if I must.
- I will do it. - She's talented in comedy.
She does it often.
Lastly, let's see the dance that took the nation by storm.
Please show us the dance for "Fire".
Let's see the dance.
("Fire")
(Sharp moves)
(He is a man with cute looks...)
(but has manly charisma.)
(Sexy)
(Fierce)
(I am the golden member of BTS.)
(This is the idol singer's dance routine.)
All right.
(The atmosphere heats up to 200°C.)
My goodness.
BTS is the best.
He is 20 years old.
I now know...
- All of them are so talented. - why my daughter likes him.
BLT. He's good.
I must say that I'm very jealous of him.
With his sweet voice...
and outstanding singing skills,
he amazed us all on this very stage today.
It was Jung Kook of BTS.
Please give him a big hand, everyone!
(We look forward to your future endeavours.)
Thank you.
(We look forward to your future endeavours.)
(He rushes to backstage.)
I'm obviously not good enough to be his competition.
I wanted to let people know that there's a boy...
who loves singing and music.
It was like celebrating my coming of age...
through my voice.
I'll continue to work on improving my skills as a singer...
to become a musician who can melt...
and move your hearts.
(We'll be rooting for you!)
I'll do my best.
I'm Excited Hurray Radio...
beat Jung Kook of BTS and will move on to Round Three.
The mysterious music show, King of Mask Singer.
The last step before finalising...
the 36th King of Mask Singer,
Final Round, is about to begin.
First, we'll invite the two masked singers...
to the stage again.
(Their showdown is about to begin.)
(Herdsman Raises Cows vs I'm Excited Hurray Radio)
This is the final match.
One of these two masked singers...
will move on to compete...
against the current King of Mask Singer, Bulgwang-dong Gasoline.
How do you feel about making it to Round Three?
I actually didn't think that I'd be able...
- to pass the previous round. - I see.
I'm so moved right now.
So are you going to be satisfied with making this far...
and end your challenge here?
- No. Well... - That's not the case.
I've come this far,
so I'll give my everything before I walk off this stage.
- I see. - That's a great attitude!
I like that spirit.
- A good result will follow then. - Yes.
Hurray Radio, what's your goal?
Well...
(He stares at the King.)
My goal is to sit there first.
(I'll sit there first.)
Then I'll go there.
(He'll head to the hall of fame afterwards.)
(Welcome)
Oh, my. You have big dreams.
Then, is there anything you'd like to say to the current King?
I'll give you a chance to say a few words to her.
You're beautiful.
(She feels shy.)
But I must say that gasoline makes this summer's heat worse.
(Gasoline makes this summer's heat worse.)
Gosh, that was gutsy.
Goodness. Is he provoking her?
(I'm sorry.)
Bulgwang-dong Gasoline. You should say a few things, too.
You said that gasoline worsens the summer heat,
but there's a saying about how you should fight heat with heat.
(Fight the summer heat with heat.)
He thinks gasoline can make summer feel hotter.
Herdsman, do you have anything to say...
- to the King? - I actually thought...
that Black Knight was still the King of Mask Singer.
- The kingship changed. - I see.
- You wanted to beat Black Knight... - Yes.
but found out that we have a new female king now.
Yes, exactly.
(Black Knight left,)
(and Herdsman misses him.)
(He's very flustered.)
- He must be very surprised. - Best of luck!
Anyway, I will also give my everything...
so that I can become the King of Mask Singer.
All right.
Herdsman seems a bit flustered.
He came here with a strategy,
but we have a different king now.
Black Knight was defeated...
by Bulgwang-dong Gasoline. If you do your best, you should...
- Okay, I will. - be able to expect a good result.
Bulgwang-dong Gasoline, you made the throne yours last week.
How are you feeling now?
They're both such amazing singers.
But since they are throwing nuclear bombs at me,
I think I should respond to that with blazing fire.
- I see. - So...
I'll perform as passionately as I can!
Great!
(That was Gasoline's resolution.)
The final round, Round Three, begins now.
Herdsman will go first.
(Herdsman will perform first with his irresistible voice!)
(We're very excited.)
- You can do it! - I'm excited.
Goodness, he must be so nervous now.
- This is how it feels to be here. - Gosh, seriously.
Which song will he sing?
(Herdsman's performance of "UFO" in Round Two was full of energy.)
(Which song did he prepare for Final Round?)
("The One Who Understands My Pain" by Cho Ha Moon)
(Herdsman chose a lyrical masterpiece.)
Oh, my. This song.
(Who is he?)
(Everyone is surprised by his rich emotions.)
(Marvelled)
I think I know who he is.
(The darkness in his heart vanished...)
(because of the feeling of love.)
(This song is dedicated to you who thoroughly understand my pain.)
(It is an earnest confession of his love.)
(His sorrowful voice touches our hearts.)
I'm loving his performance!
Gosh, this is Cho Ha Moon's song.
(You're the best!)
(The clouds in my life cleared away...)
(and warm love came.)
(You're the only love of my life,)
(and this song is my confession of love for you.)
(We can feel how yearning and sincere Herdsman is.)
(Moved)
(All panellists applaud for him without words.)
(With his subtly shaking voice that almost sounds like sobbing,)
(he sings a message of his ardent love.)
(He's feeling emotional.)
(I give you my heart.)
(That was a genuine confession of love.)
(Everyone is still immersed in the performance.)
- Good job! - Did he cry during the performance?
- Gosh, what should I do? - I'm tearing up, too.
Gosh, a man's tears.
Let's meet his opponent!
The one who beat the film director, Bong Man Dae,
and Jung Kook of BTS.
"Tune into my voice!"
I'm Excited Hurray Radio!
(I'm Excited Hurray Radio)
(Hurray Radio looks very determined.)
I can almost see the halo above him.
I'm already excited.
He seems to be most comfortable when he performs on stage.
So this is how it feels.
I'm getting nervous from just watching him.
(I'm nervous, too.)
(Hurray Radio is ready to surprise all of us.)
(What's his last secret weapon?)
("Peppermint Candy" by YB)
(Shouting)
(Stay tuned.)
(It's Hurray Radio, the rocker.)
(Let's go.)
(Thrilled)
(He's getting into the rhythm like fish in water.)
(He's playing with his music.)
(Hurray Radio is on fire.)
(It's so cool!)
(His sexy groove with a low voice)
(Gosh)
(He has energy ready to explode.)
(He sings powerfully.)
(Let's go right to the end.)
(Yes!)
(It's the time of innocence you would want to go back if you could.)
(I want to go back)
(To the place I dream of)
(Would you like to go with me?)
(Of course!)
(Everyone is on board.)
(Hey)
(Let's go!)
(It's a short trip that feels like a million years,)
(where you let go of yourself to music.)
(I'm ready to go.)
(It's time to go, everyone.)
(Let's go.)
(His burning roar)
(Lose all your fear,)
(and open the door to tomorrow.)
(The happy dream that you had when you were young)
(Let's go back to that.)
(Yes!)
(They're absorbed in his song.)
(This is crazy.)
(His soaring shout will rip the sky.)
(Rock and roll, baby)
(He put every ounce of his energy into this stage.)
(It was amazing.)
Oh, dear. I'm dizzy.
- It was amazing. - He's a monster!
He's a monster!
(It was the best.)
(She's getting goosebumps.)
Gosh. Hold on.
(He even feels dizzy.)
The Final Round is now over.
It's Herdsman Raises Cows versus I'm Excited Hurray Radio.
Who will be the one to have...
a match with Bulgwang-dong Gasoline?
I want each of them to sing one more song.
You want to hear one more song?
Yes. Could you please sing another song?
- That's... - Look.
Are you going to stay here all night?
(He's upset.)
He becomes cranky around midnight.
Heung Kook, please cast your vote.
(Please cast your vote.)
- You didn't vote? - You haven't even voted yet.
You should vote.
I really don't know which one to pick.
Are you going to stay here all night?
Don't you have a family?
You're just like ordinary audience.
Heung Kook was the last one to vote.
All votes are in.
What did you think of their stage, Bulgwang-dong Gasoline?
You've given such exciting performances.
That's not fair.
I really liked it.
I'm also strongly determined to win.
I will set this studio on fire.
She clenched her fists.
Bulgwang-dong Gasoline, the King of Mask Singer,
please get ready for your stage.
Please give her a round of applause.
(Bulgwang-dong Gasoline seeks her second win.)
Bulgwang-dong!
Bulgwang-dong Gasoline will now get ready for the Final Match.
These two masked singers gave their all to their stage.
Let's hear what Yoon Seok thinks first.
Gosh, Yoon Seok.
It was really...
You seem very tired.
Yes. I was...
(They're worried about him.)
It's embarrassing that I let you see me like this,
- but I have a bad cold. - Okay.
I got an IV.
They measured my blood pressure, and it was 60 over 80.
- That's too low. - 60 over 80?
Yes. The doctor said I shouldn't become stressed out.
So I said, "Even if I faint, I'll faint here in the studio."
- That's what I said to him, - I see.
but he got me excited.
(A little while ago)
(His blood pressure wasn't showing any signs of going up.)
(Then)
(His shouting gave Yoon Seok power.)
Gosh, this is great.
This is great.
Hurray!
Tune the radio to 95.9 and 91.9 MHz.
Lee Yoon Seok and Shin Bong Sun's "Good Weekend".
(It's cure for low blood pressure.)
Hurray Radio!
(Hurray Radio's rock frequency)
I felt like fainting a while ago.
He made me go so crazy that I needed to take a break.
It felt exactly like...
when Music Commander sang "Lazenca, Save Us".
- Wow. - Shall we hear Hyun Woo's opinion?
Yoon Seok said it felt like when you sang "Lazenca, Save Us".
What did you think?
I think he has much stronger and more powerful energy than me.
When I saw him dancing, I thought he may be an idol singer.
He's such a cheerful person.
(Hurray Radio showed female idol group's dance.)
Can a rocker learn that dance?
You think rockers can't learn dance?
That's...
But now I'm sure he's a rock musician.
- You think he's a rocker. - Yes. He has...
You said rockers can't learn dance.
I feel like someone struck me on the back of my head.
I think he's the only rocker that learned idol group's dance.
All right. He's the only rocker who learned idol group's dance.
Now that I saw their performances,
I'm certain that they're both rockers.
They're both members of bands.
I feel like we are all friends...
playing on a playground together.
(Three of them were playing together.)
And I have to choose one friend.
I feel like I'm trapped in an impossible situation.
- They're both your friends. - Yes.
It feels like I had to shove away one of them.
I felt terrible.
On the other, I thought...
if they came to the show when I was...
the King of Mask Singer, it would've been outrageous.
I see.
To put it simply for Hurray Radio,
I've never liked green trousers in my 37 years of life.
- But I began to like them today. - Right.
I love green trousers now.
(Thank you.)
Hyun Chul.
Hyun Woo said...
they're both rockers.
There are many kinds of rock music.
Hurray Radio sang hard rock,
and Herdsman sang modern rock.
- There is a difference. - The sensibility and feelings...
are totally different.
The way I see it,
Hurray Radio may have been more powerful,
but Herdsman's desperate singing was...
(As if he's crying,)
(Herdsman sang with all his heart.)
I like to think he cried a little in the middle.
(Herdsman wept a little with emotion.)
At the end, he was about to cry,
and he went out that door with his shoulders drooping.
It looked like he was a breadwinner supporting three children.
He has to feed his children,
so he buys roasted chicken,
and goes home with it. It looked that way.
I'm not saying he looked pitiful.
He seemed eager,
and determined to work harder tomorrow.
I felt that kind of desperation from Herdsman.
And for that reason,
I voted for Herdsman.
- He sang Cho Ha Moon's song. - He did.
Ha Moon is my friend.
I was about to vote for "Peppermint Candy",
but then my friend came across my mind.
(He suddenly thought of his friend's face.)
I was going to vote for Hurray Radio,
then I thought that I'd vote for my friend's song in case it's a tie.
I voted for Cho Ha Moon's song because he sobbed before.
- Right. - He's not Cho Ha Moon.
(He's not Cho Ha Moon, by the way.)
- He sang his song. - He's not Cho Ha Moon.
He sang a song that Ha Moon wrote.
What do you know about my feelings?
I even don't want to know.
(I even don't want to know.)
Everybody has their own taste.
You can make your own choice.
- Of course, I can. - Yes, you can.
While I was listening to Herdsman's song,
I thought that he delivered the lyrics of the song better...
than any singer who sang today.
I thank you for that.
- You felt sympathy. - As to Hurray Radio,
he was like...
a snake that is coiled up.
At first, you think the snake is small.
(His power is immense.)
As it uncoils itself, it gets bigger and thicker...
until it becomes a giant serpent and attacks us.
(She's much enchanted.)
It felt as if he was saying...
"I can crush all of you."...
and "I rule this place."
He was very sexy.
While I was listening to both of you singing,
I thought that you are showing everything you've got...
in the stage you like.
As Hyun Woo and Luna said, although I was sitting here,
my heart was pounding...
and I can't help thinking that I want to perform again.
Their stage reminded me that it's the charm this show has.
I sincerely thank both of you.
(I sincerely thank you.)
All right.
I'd like to announce the result.
I'll announce the last singer...
who will move on to Final Match...
to be the 36th King of Mask Singer.
(The result will be announced.)
(He has a soulful, earnest voice.)
(Herdsman's poem of love was so appealing.)
(His extremely high notes could reach the sky.)
(Hurray Radio shook the stage with his rock song.)
Who'll be the winner...
and compete against Bulgwang-dong Gasoline?
(The winner is...)
(King of Mask Singer.)
The winner is...
Is this how it feels? I'm losing my mind.
I'm so nervous.
(It's hard to foretell the result.)
(Who's the winner who will end this brutal match...)
(and compete against the king?)
Who would have won?
Between Herdsman and Hurray Radio, the winner is...
Who is it?
Show us.
(King of Mask Singer.)
The winner is...
(Hurray Radio is the winner.)
Hurray Radio.
(Let's go to Final Match.)
(He takes over Round Three...)
(with the rock spirit.)
(As curious as the result is...)
What's the score?
What's the score? Wow.
(Gosh)
Hurray Radio is the winner.
(The score is 22 to 77.)
The score is 22 to 77.
With a great margin, Hurray Radio was chosen as the king's rival.
Move to the back of the stage and watch the show, please.
Give him a big hand.
The shocking identity of Herdsman will be revealed soon.
(Trotting)
I'm so happy for the good result.
Let's find out Herdsman's identity...
who was regretfully defeated by Hurray Radio.
Now, Herdsman, please take off your mask...
and reveal your face.
He showed a great nasal voice.
His voice is as sharp as a gimlet.
- His voice is like a gimlet. - Yes.
(His shouting impressed even Music Commander.)
That's it.
(His dance wasn't as good, though.)
Many moves are mixed.
I'm very positive...
that he sings in a band.
I think he's a professional singer.
I get a feeling that he could be Lee Hyuk.
Herdsman, please take off your mask and reveal your face.
(Who is this?)
(This is incredible.)
Who is he?
- Who is he? - Who is he?
- Wow. - Who is he?
People are excited.
He must be famous.
He is...
Kim Sin I of Monni, a talented modern rock band.
(Kim Sin I of Monni)
(We missed his face.)
(That's right, Monni.)
Right, I told you. I was right all along.
This is incredible.
Monni, Monni.
Would you say hello to the viewers?
I'm Kim Sin I, a vocalist of Monni...
and musical actor.
(I'm Kim Sin I.)
(He debuted in 2005 with "Rain Shower".)
(Kim Sin I is a vocalist of Monni, a modern rock group.)
(With a powerful voice,)
(the charisma he shows on the stage is irreplaceable.)
(He also performs as a musical actor.)
(He is an all-round musician.)
What made you want to perform on the stage of this show?
I have fear of performing on the TV shows.
I see. You were afraid of being on the stage.
I agonise every time there's a call from a TV show.
I thought if I put on a mask,
I can get power from the mask.
If I make it to Round One,
I'd get a little used to stages.
That's what I thought.
But from the second stage,
I was even more afraid.
Even with your mask on?
But the listeners...
and the panellists didn't think so.
I think you can have confidence.
I performed with him recently...
- in a musical. - Did you?
He's usually very confident on the stage,
but he is afraid of the camera.
He's not afraid of the stage but the camera, then.
Yes, to be exact.
When he performed on his stage,
- he smashed a guitar. - That much?
That's how passionate...
when he is in his concert.
(This is how passionate he is.)
(This rock musician smashes the guitar.)
Can't you pretend that there's no camera?
Wear a helmet with a camera on.
You mean the helmet with a camera attached on the front.
- There's such a helmet. - That may work.
I have something to tell Gu Ra.
Gu Ra said something in a show...
that he said obviously to amuse people,
but it struck me right in the heart.
- What is it? - Gu Ra said...
people can do anything when they have a child.
That's what he said.
I have two daughters, who are 2 and 3 years old each.
Do you have two daughters already?
Yes. They may watch this show when they grow up.
Even though the cameras may take me down,
I wanted to fight them back and sing on this stage.
Even though I may not be able to sing at all.
- Your words helped me so much. - Did they? Good.
(Gu Ra's words helped him so much.)
We grow because of our children.
Kim Heung Kook, didn't you grow because of your children?
My family lives abroad.
(My family lives abroad.)
I work hard to make money for my children.
That's why we have children.
For your daughters,
sing more confidently on the stage.
That way, more people will be touched by your song.
Actually, Hyun Woo recommended you to our staff several times,
saying that you sing very well.
- I highly recommend him. - He highly recommended you,
and we finally invited you to the show.
Today, you did't seem...
- to recognise his voice. - I had no idea.
I didn't know...
until the end of Round Two.
I couldn't even imagine. But I knew in Round Three,
when he sang the first bar of the song.
I suddenly realised that he is here.
(He has come.)
I think I know who he is.
(The referee took a long time to recognise him.)
I think he's the vocalist of Monni.
I made so many mistakes singing in shows,
so I also had traumas and hardships.
Even while I was the king,
the regret I felt jeopardised my mental health.
One day, my acquaintance told me...
that a mistake is also a part of your history and life.
Show all your mistakes...
as well as the best you've got to people.
They will recognise your charm and virtue.
- You can't always be perfect. - Of course.
I hope you'd overcome your fear.
Kim Sin I sang songs earnestly...
with a sincere voice.
Give him a big hand, please.
Thank you.
(We support your courageous challenge.)
I couldn't tell this story frankly, even to our members.
Having said everything, I feel so relieved.
I have no regret about today's performance.
I'll be able to enjoy the future on-air stages.
I'll keep singing and performing on the stages.
I'll be the singer who sings with my heart...
and whom you will remember for a long time.
Thank you.
In Round Three, Hurray Radio beat Kim Sin I...
and moved on to Final Match.
The mysterious music show, King of Mask Singer.
It is time to watch...
Bulgwang-dong Gasoline's defending performance.
What song is she singing...
for her second successive win today?
Final Match for the 36th King of Mask Singer...
begins now.
(It begins now.)
It's Final Match for the 36th King of Mask Singer.
She is the immortal vocalist who heats up people's hearts...
with her sentimental voice. The 35th King of Mask Singer,
Bulgwang-dong Gasoline.
(Bulgwang-dong Gasoline)
(She comes on the stage heating up the hallway.)
(Bulgwang-dong Gasoline appears.)
(She looks charismatic.)
She looks imposing.
(She looks imposing.)
She looks confident.
She has to sing against a strong opponent today.
Her contender is too strong.
She must be under a lot of pressure.
I'm nervous.
(I know how she feels.)
You become really nervous there.
(I guess so.)
(She looks elegant in the dress.)
She looks beautiful today.
She looks like the King of Mask Singer.
She is pretty.
What do you think? Is she beautiful?
She looks good.
She is a good singer.
(She is the best.)
(The Kings of Mask Singer are watching her.)
(Those who are watching her feel nervous, too.)
(The Kings of Mask Singer give her a cheer as they know how she feels.)
(This is her first defending performance.)
(What song is she singing today with people's cheers?)
("Miss, Miss and Miss" by K.will)
(Their hearts ache as she starts singing.)
(Their sad memories of love...)
(stab at their hearts.)
(She is so good.)
(This is the word she can't say to him.)
(It makes her confession sadder.)
(This love is sad and painful, yet beautiful.)
That was beautiful.
(They can feel her pain through her song.)
(It pours like a heavy rain in summer.)
(It is a boundless love for only one person.)
(The word "I love you" should make a person happy.)
(But at this very moment, it is the saddest word for her.)
(Her sad confession of love broke people's hearts.)
(They applaud the beautiful love story.)
(The sad emotion still lingers in their minds.)
(Admiring)
No one can beat her.
- Everyone is crying. - Did you cry?
Did you cry? I can't believe this.
- All women are crying. - She cried, too.
(The male panellists shed tears secretly.)
(I should have sung the song.)
The King of Mask Singer finished her song.
It is time to make a decision.
I'm Excited Hurray Radio is number one.
Bulgwang-dong Gasoline is number two.
It is time to make a choice.
Please press the button to cast a vote without prejudice.
A singer with more votes will be a winner.
All votes are in.
Please say hello to each other.
Attention. Bow.
(Thank you for your great performance.)
It was a match between a male singer and a female singer.
This is Final Match.
Seong Ju, Yoo A just cried.
- Did she cry? - Yes, she did.
I've been the panellist for this programme for a long time.
But it never happened that...
all the female panellists cried listening to a song.
- She made us all cry. - Let me talk to her, then.
Yoo A.
- Yes. - Why did you cry?
Do you miss someone?
- How old are you? - I'm 22 years old.
- She's 22 years old. - Have you had a boyfriend before?
- No. - She can't tell you. She's an idol.
(I'm sorry.)
Oh no.
Did you miss your parents?
I missed my parents.
And my grandfather died.
- I missed him a lot. - Okay.
Someone would miss her grandfather,
someone would miss her parents,
and someone would miss her children hearing the song.
I don't think...
it was just about...
a sense of longing.
I'm an actress and I guess she is a singer.
I think we all have a desire...
to convey our emotions better as a singer...
or as an actress.
I know how she feels.
I could actually feel...
how she felt singing on the stage.
It was the best. Thank you.
She knows how hard it is to stay...
in the throne.
I think she could say that as she'd experienced the whole thing.
Luna, how did you like her performance?
I was glad and honoured that...
I could be here listening to the songs...
and watching such great performances.
It was so touching.
As a musician, I realised...
I shouldn't have a hard time.
It gave me confidence.
I'd like to thank them for their great performances.
- I want to give them a big hand. - Okay.
I think their performances inspired...
- the Kings of Mask Singer, too. - I appreciate it.
By the way, it was my first time...
to see the performance of the King of Mask Singer.
She knows how to sing a song.
She knows the meaning of the lyrics...
and the melodies. It is not her song though.
Right. She can't sing her own song here.
- That's right. - It was a song by K.will.
We would have recognised K.will.
(It would be incredible if K.will was the King of Mask Singer.)
I was only saying what was on my mind.
Do you think you are above everyone?
(Do you think you are above everyone?)
Even though the original song was sung by a male artist,
she sang it perfectly. That's why everyone is in tears.
- I agree. - She is an amazing singer.
Understanding the song...
makes a big difference, right?
Of course it does. Even if you are given the best ingredients,
you cannot make a nice dish without knowing how they taste.
She is an amazing singer.
You had a good understanding of "Swallowtail Butterfly", right?
Back then,
I sang without any thoughts.
(Wasn't my answer great?)
Let's hear what Sonya thought.
Both masked singers are amazing.
Their performances made me feel...
the power of music once again.
Hurray Radio...
is full of charms.
He is like an onion.
I want to see more performances by him.
I am curious about how he will transform in the future.
There has to be a deeper layer within him.
That's what I think.
I don't know if my description would be appropriate,
but his voice...
- is somewhat decadent. - His voice contains decadence.
I don't know if it is an appropriate description.
(He sang "Love" in Round Two.)
(My love)
(Screaming)
(Swaying)
(Exuding decadence)
(I love him.)
I don't know if it is an appropriate description.
His colour wouldn't be red, but crimson.
It's like a curtain that is blood red.
- Velvet! - It's like blood red velvet.
He was sexy.
(He possessed refined wildness like crimson velvet.)
(My goodness, I am captivated.)
(He primitive charm was electrifying.)
(His performance gave everyone chills.)
(Incredibly sexy)
(Her soul was completely absorbed.)
Young Seok, only one of them will be King of Mask Singer.
They are strangers to us...
since they are wearing masks.
The fact that they made strangers shed tears...
from watching their performances speaks of their talents.
What's interesting is that...
a woman's performance moved women's hearts...
while a man's performance moved men's hearts.
Only fate will tell who the winner is.
You will feel bad no matter who loses.
That's right.
Let's hear what Hyun Woo thought.
When I heard Gasoline's song,
I couldn't help but close my eyes.
Her voice made me close my eyes...
and savour the performance.
(She delivered emotions in a natural way.)
When I saw her sitting on the throne,
I was very curious about how she will sing.
She is a singer who surpasses my imagination.
I was deeply moved.
Hurray Radio,
I enjoyed the perfect performances you gave...
from Round One to Round Three.
I don't know who will win,
but both of them deserve to be King of Mask Singer.
I see. The mysterious music show, King of Mask Singer.
Now, I will announce...
the result of the 36th Final Match.
I have the result in my hand.
Who did the unbiased audience vote for?
The 36th King of Mask Singer...
will be revealed now.
(Even though he sang crudely to hide his real voice,)
(his talent came through.)
(He couldn't hide his power.)
(He sang a sentimental song.)
(The past Kings of Mask Singer gave him a standing ovation.)
(His performance excited the past Kings of Mask Singer.)
(He took the performance to the end.)
(His voice rose higher with more power.)
(It seemed like he was testing the limits of music.)
(A performance like unstoppable hurricane)
(It was a desperate message that could not be reached.)
(The tragic and beautiful confession...)
(left the audience in tears...)
(and proved why she is King of Mask Singer.)
(Her performance showed the epitome of sentimental ballad.)
Between these two masked singers, who was chosen...
as the 36th King of Mask Singer?
The winner is...
It's a nerve-wracking moment.
My goodness.
(I am so nervous.)
(My goodness.)
(Wow)
(They can never get used to this moment.)
No one knows what the result will be.
(Will Bulgwang-dong Gasoline light the flame once again?)
(Will I'm Excited Hurray Radio turn up the volume?)
(Who will be the 36th King of Mask Singer?)
(Why are people making a fuss?)
(Shouting)
Who is the 36th King of Mask Singer?
Please show the result.
The winner is...
Will Bulgwang-dong Gasoline succeed in winning two consecutive times?
Will I'm Excited Hurray Radio...
take the throne?
Who did the audience choose...
as the 36th King of Mask Singer?
Who is it?
Please show the result.
The winner is...
(Hurray Radio took the throne.)
Hurray Radio won.
(Who?)
(Hurray Radio's energy moved the audience's hearts.)
(He beat Gasoline, the master of sentimentality.)
(He will turn up the volume from now on.)
(They are so happy...)
(that they disappeared from the frames.)
That's incredible.
(Who is screeching in the background?)
(It's him.)
(He screams like he has won a medal.)
Hurray Radio beat Gasoline.
The final score was 58 to 41.
with a final score of 58 to 41,
(The 36th King of Mask Singer is Hurray Radio.)
new King of Mask Singer was born.
Hurray Radio beat Gasoline...
and became King of Mask Singer.
King's robe and golden mask will see a new owner.
Please give him a round of applause.
(Congratulations, new King of Mask Singer.)
Hurray Radio, give us a few words.
All right.
(He is overwhelmed.)
He must be crying.
(Don't cry. You did an amazing job.)
I am unsatisfied with many aspects of my performance.
I will prepare to give a better performance next time.
All right.
Since Hurray Radio won,
we will get to see him again next week.
King of Mask Singer will march and exit the stage.
Please give him a round of applause.
(Bulgwang-dong Gasoline's identity will be revealed.)
He became the 36th King of Mask Singer.
(We look forward to your performance next week.)
(Even though he is sexy during the performance,)
(King of Mask Singer is cute when he is off the stage.)
I will work hard and give a nice performance next week.
Hurray Radio!
(This is embarrassing.)
Let's find out who Gasoline is.
Would you like to say anything before you take off the mask?
Thank you for listening to my song with your hearts.
(Good job.)
(I love you.)
Bulgwang-dong Gasoline, please come to the back of the stage.
Bulgwang-dong Gasoline, please take off your mask...
and reveal your face.
(Please take off your mask and reveal your face.)
(She made the first appearance with burning energy.)
(In each round,)
(she showed different colours and charms.)
She beat Black Knight.
(She beat Black Knight and took the throne.)
Bulgwang-dong Gasoline won.
(In her last performance, she became a sentimental vocalist.)
(She made everyone tear up.)
Their performances made me feel the power of music.
I was deeply moved.
I could sense her feelings towards music.
It was the best. Thank you.
Her performance made all female panellists shed tears.
It has never happened before.
Bulgwang-dong Gasoline, please take off your mask...
and reveal your face.
(Wow)
(Screaming)
Who is she?
(Who are you?)
Who is she? She has yellow hair.
(She makes us keep guessing.)
(Bulgwang-dong Gasoline, who are you?)
Who is she?
Bulgwang-dong Gasoline, please take off your mask...
and reveal your face.
She is...
the main vocalist of See Ya, a talented girl group,
Kim Yeon Ji.
(What took you so long?)
It's been so long.
They sing really well.
(The girl we missed so much has finally come back.)
Right.
Please say hello to the viewers.
Hello, I'm Kim Yeon Ji, a singer.
Nice to meet you.
(Kim Yeon Ji is the main vocalist of See Ya...)
(that debuted in 2006 with "A Woman's Scent".)
(With "Woman Generation", "His Voice",)
("Wonder Woman" and "Crazy Love Song",)
(they were known for their talents shortly after the debut,)
(See Ya's songs are always good.)
(See Ya's Kim Yeon Ji is back.)
Many people might think of you...
as the vocalist from See Ya.
Do you perform as a solo singer now?
Yes.
While I was performing in a team,
I was so busy.
After the team got disbanded,
I thought so hard...
to figure out my future path.
That's why I took a long time...
to come back.
You must have had some inner struggle...
while you were inactive.
Yes, I had
I kept telling myself...
that I was okay.
Later I figured out...
that I wasn't as fine as I thought.
I was sometimes afraid...
of performing on the stage.
I was so happy...
to be on this show...
because I could only concentrate on singing.
I will sing songs...
on other stages,
I hope you'd remember me...
and be with me on my way.
Thank you.
(Please show us you sing great songs often from now on.)
(Your performance today was amazing.)
I've sung a duet song...
- with Yeon Ji once. - That's right.
After I heard her sing,
I told the writer that...
I am not sure other things,
but I know there's a voice heard by your ears...
and there's a voice heard by your heart.
Of all the singers I've met recently,
this girl's voice...
is the only voice heard by my heart.
When I heard her singing,
I got the same impression.
Since the time has passed,
I took a while to remember her voice,
but I recognised that it's her.
I want to thank you again.
- Well done. - Thank you.
There are many people...
who found solace in your voice.
- They did, even today. - Yes.
I heard in her voice...
the mixed feelings...
of loneliness, sorrow and resentment.
I'm sure that everyone in here...
supported your soulful voice...
which is full of pain.
I am sure about that.
After this stage,
you will be able to sing in many other stages.
I'd like to hear you sing...
more soulful songs...
in the future stages.
- I support you. - Thank you.
(We all support you.)
I hope you'd let us hear more of your voice and see more of you.
I tried hard not to cry,
but what you've said...
made me think you understand how I felt so well.
I couldn't stop crying...
because I was so grateful.
I will sing really hard...
and will sing songs that can touch your hearts. Thank you.
- Go, Yeon Ji. - Go, Yeon Ji.
Though it was short,
she relieved the pressure of being the 35th King of Mask Singer...
by enjoying the stage.
Give a big hand...
- to Kim Yeon Ji, a solo singer. - Thank you.
(We look forward to your emotional stages in the future.)
(Relieved)
Hyun Chul, I mean professor.
You did well today.
Go, Yeon Ji.
The One.
Go, Yeon Ji.
If I had more time, I could have shown you a lot more.
I'll show you more next time. Thank you.
