Last week,
(With his soulful voice,)
(his performance touched people's hearts.)
Hurray Radio has won the throne with his thrilling performance...
and has become the 36th king of mask singer.
(Hello.)
(Nice to see you again.)
We will present you with marvelous songs...
which are full of the passion of the masked singers.
I am your unbiased show host, Kim Seong Ju.
(Your unbiased show host, Kim Seong Ju)
He is our 36th king of mask singer,
I'm Excited Hurray Radio.
Please say hello to the viewers.
(He's busy locating the hole to his mouth.)
New kings all have a hard time locating the hole at first.
Can you hear me? Hey, hey.
Yes, we can.
I'll tune in the frequency first.
The frequency.
(Tuning)
Can you tune in all right?
- Okay. - Good.
- What? - What programme is being played...
in that frequency?
The programme is...
"Discovery at Noon".
"Good Week".
(Singing)
(What is this show with a nice song?)
Hello, my name is I'm Excited Hurray Radio.
Nice to meet you.
(Nice to meet you, too.)
I'm Excited Hurray Radio,
can we expect you to be the 37th king as well?
(Tuning and giggling)
You must keep dialing for the frequency, I guess.
(He's set aside a frequency to speak his ambition.)
(He keeps tuning in the frequency.)
I expect a good result...
as I'll do my best on the stage.
I hope to see you in Final Match.
Please see me in Final Match.
"Please."
(This naughty king has conquered all the radio catchphrases.)
He's cute.
I hope that you keep the position.
The mysterious music show, King of Mask Singer.
Will Hurray Radio...
win two consecutive victories?
The fierce race to be the king has begun.
Let's begin with the first match.
(King of Mask Singer)
The first match of Round One.
She walks lightly to the throne.
Lady on Board, Flower Palanquin.
(She looks somewhat nervous.)
(Oh, my gosh.)
(Gosh, I'm doomed.)
Here comes Flower Palanquin. Clear the way.
(She is resolutely determined,)
(but she looks like a wreck from the beginning.)
(It's okay. Good luck.)
Her opponent is...
a woman with a voice that controls time.
12 O'clock Curfew, Pumpkin Carriage.
(12 O'clock Curfew, Pumpkin Carriage)
Even after 12 o'clock,
you will want to hear my voice.
(She looks combative.)
(Hopping)
(Pink horse! Black horse!)
(She is Pumpkin Carriage, not Cinderella.)
- She looks tough. - I'm sure she's a comedienne.
She must be a comedienne.
(Please don't go.)
Stay there. You shouldn't come.
(She feels embarrassed.)
(I'm sorry.)
She looks very excited.
(As the masked singers enter raucously,)
(everyone feels more relaxed.)
(The two masked singers look somewhat extraordinary.)
(What song will they sing?)
(Exciting beats! What song is this?)
("Sea Bird" by Badasae)
- This is "Sea Bird". - It's "Sea Bird".
- Is this song "Sea Bird"? - I like this song.
(Let's enjoy the music.)
- Wow. - She's got a gorgeous voice.
(She sings in a husky and high-pitched voice.)
(She has a beautiful voice. Who is she?)
(Her tone of voice sounds warm and gentle.)
(They don't look nervous at all.)
(She looks relaxed singing.)
(Just like her graceful gestures,)
(her voice sounds beautiful and elegant.)
(You'd get limp in the summer heat.)
(But their exciting performance cheers everyone up.)
(Wow!)
(Bravo!)
(This is exciting.)
(Her voice sounds lonely and mysterious.)
(This is nice.)
(Her rich voice shows her strong will.)
(A sea bird crying all alone on a desolate beach)
(She sings in a mournful voice like the sea bird.)
(The husky voice and the clear voice are...)
(making a beautiful harmony for "Sea Bird".)
(It sounds refreshing.)
(The song removes all the hard feelings in people's mind.)
(It was "Sea Bird" sung by Flower Palanquin and Pumpkin Carriage.)
That was a tight match.
(It was amazing.)
Flower Palanquin and Pumpkin Carriage.
I guess there is a big age gap between them.
How can you guess who they are?
It was the first match of Round One.
Lady on Board, Flower Palanquin is number one.
12 O'clock Curfew, Pumpkin Carriage is number two.
We have two female masked singers here.
Whose voice...
will people choose...
without bias?
All votes are in.
Flower Palanquin, please say hello to our viewers.
Hello.
I'm Lady on Board, Flower Palanquin.
Okay.
She looks very shy.
She's wearing beautiful hanbok today.
Now it is...
Pumpkin Carriage's turn. Please say hello to our viewers.
Hello.
I'm 12 O'clock Curfew, Pumpkin Carriage.
They look somewhat similar.
I guess they are about the same age.
He is a magician of words, Yu Young Seok.
Please comment on their performance.
I thought Flower Palanquin...
would be a bit introvert in singing.
- But she was extrovert. - She spewed her voice out.
She has a sonorous and loud voice.
She sounded experienced.
She is a skilled singer with a lot of experiences.
I guess she hid her singing ability.
There are several factors that makes me suspicious.
You mean she hid her singing ability in Round One.
Meanwhile, I didn't think...
Pumpkin Carriage would be introvert in singing.
But she did sing in an introvert way...
which I didn't expect.
She checks her voice in her throat...
before she makes a sound.
She lets out her voice after checking it a few times.
She sings in between falsetto and chest voice.
She sounded like crying in those tones...
which was very attractive.
She sounded like crying in between falsetto and chest voice.
This is the voice...
- that Pumpkin Carriage has. - That's right.
(Her voice sounds clear and rich at the same time.)
(Amazed)
(As she sang in between falsetto and chest voice,)
(Young Seok sang a lot like a bird.)
I think the song "Sea Bird"...
requires outstanding singing ability.
(The song won a bronze award in 1986 Gangbyeon Song Festival.)
(The point is to sing the song in a cool and clear voice.)
As I saw Flower Palanquin's gestures,
I think she considers herself...
a great figure or something.
I see.
I guess she just tried to wait and see how others sing...
without doing her best.
It's not her goal to win in Round One.
I think so.
I talked about her with Jang Hyuk.
She tried to hide her singing ability but didn't want to lose.
So she hit the high notes while singing.
Did Flower Palanquin do that?
- She showed off her ability. - She wanted people...
to recognise her.
I felt that while she sang.
(As the song reaches the midway point,)
(They are nearly equal in their skill.)
(It's me. I'm a great figure.)
- And there is Pumpkin Carriage. - Pumpkin Carriage.
I was startled...
- as she came on to the stage. - Were you?
Yes. Because...
she had two horses.
And they were put on skewers.
Why would she skewer a horse?
- That's because she's a carriage. - She looked tough.
I think she likes that.
Then she said hello to her opponent.
New singers usually...
bow their head when they say hello to others.
But she made a bow like this.
(Keeping her head up)
(It's nice to see you.)
I'm sure she's in her 30s or over.
I guess she is relatively old.
Maybe that's why she looked that way.
I have a question for Pumpkin Carriage.
She waved her hand before singing.
(Hello.)
- Did she wave at me? - She waved at someone.
Whom did you wave at?
- I was very curious. - Did you wave at me?
I thought she waved at Yoon Seok.
Did you wave at Yoon Seok?
I waved at Yoon Seok and Hyun Chul.
To both of them.
- I see. - To both of them?
We used to work together.
- With Hyun Chul? - Yes.
- Who? - Hang on.
You don't have to say that.
Pumpkin Carriage would answer all of our questions.
- Let's ask all the questions. - You'd tell them your name.
No, I won't.
You don't have to answer all the questions they ask.
Okay.
(While they talk about Pumpkin Carriage...)
- Hang on. - I don't think so.
Flower Palanquin, does it itch? Why do you scratch your neck?
- Flower Palanquin? - She keeps scratching her neck.
- Ear... - What?
Because of the earphone.
You mean the in-ear earphones, right?
- Earphones? - The listening device?
She didn't say "in-ear".
- She just said "ear-phones". - It's intentional.
- She's not a singer. - She must know what they are.
She's not a singer.
It's possible. I'm convinced that...
- she's a professional singer. - Pardon me?
- I'm sure that she's a singer. - Pardon me?
In-ear.
- "In-ear". - "In-ear".
(She exaggerated the pronunciation.)
- "In-ear". - "In-ear".
If Flower Palanquin moves on to Round Two,
she'll probably perform in a more organised manner...
and will be two times more powerful than she was in this performance.
So you think she hid what she's capable of in those two aspects...
- even though she can do better. - I have an idea...
of who Flower Palanquin is.
- You have an idea? - Who is it?
She's a professional singer.
- She's a singer? - Yes, she is.
She tried to hide her voice,
but her real voice came out in few parts of the song.
- That's what gave you a clue? - Yes, that was.
- So, who is she? - You want to know who she is?
- Yes. - Give us her initials.
- Her initials? - Her initials.
Who is she?
- Gosh, it's so frustrating! - "O?"
He can't handle what he has started.
- What are the first syllables? - She's known for being quirky.
- A quirky female singer. - That's right.
- Who is she? - Hwayobi?
Yes!
(Hwayobi is one of the most well-known R&B musicians of Korea.)
- Hwayobi. - The singer, Hwayobi?
She sort of sounded like Hwayobi.
- Hwayobi sings differently though. - That's right.
And I think Pumpkin Carriage...
Pumpkin Carriage.
probably worked actively around the same time as me.
- I think she's an actress. - Which one?
I'm sure that she's an actress who was famous...
back in my group's prime.
- So who is she? - I want to know.
Gosh, you're really annoying me right now.
- What did I do? - What is this about?
- What's the matter with you? - You're dragging it on.
- Do Ji Won was on my show once. - Right.
- Do Ji Won. - Do Ji Won.
- Do Ji Won! That's possible. - Do Ji Won!
(Do Ji Won debuted as an actress 28 years ago.)
(Her elegance does remind us of Pumpkin Carriage.)
- Has she appeared on your show? - Yes, she has.
The actress, Do Ji Won.
- She studied ballet, right? - Yes.
Her gestures did look sort of like dance moves.
Her showmanship, too.
It was like a ballet performance combined with Korean dance.
The panellists think that you studied dance.
If you know any ballet moves, show us a hand movement at least.
Please show us a hand movement. Ready, start.
- No, we were wrong. - She didn't study ballet.
We apologise.
- She did not study ballet. - She doesn't know ballet at all.
She learned it at a cultural centre.
- You don't think she knows ballet? - She probably took a class.
Does she have any specialities to show us?
Her specialities? She prepared a special dance for us.
"I'll show you various movements from jazz dance..."
"as well as sports dance."
- So, she can dance. - We weren't wrong.
That's what she wrote here. Let's get immersed into her charms!
Music, please!
(She starts dancing.)
(She dances gently.)
(She stretches her arms out.)
I can see that she's shy.
(Her movements are so elegant.)
This must be jazz dance.
Now, she segues into sports dance!
Sports dance!
This isn't special at all.
She's stretching.
She's hopping. That's right!
(What's she doing?)
She's so graceful.
Her movements aren't exaggerated at all.
That's it.
(That's all she learned!)
(Everyone is busy making guesses.)
I must say that it looks like she's showing us...
what she learned at a cultural centre.
- Right. - So, I'm thinking...
she could be an actress who has kids.
As you mentioned cultural centre,
you are guessing that she's a bit older.
If she indeed learned these things at a cultural centre,
it must be a special one...
because it says here that she can also do Beijing opera.
She can even do Beijing opera?
(Cultural centres don't offer classes on Beijing opera.)
All right. Let's watch Pumpkin Carriage's Beijing opera!
(She speaks Chinese.)
(Laughing)
She must be drunk.
Hold on. Wait! All right.
This is her real voice, everyone.
Please continue.
(She speaks Chinese.)
(Which part is her real voice though?)
(She's embarrassed.)
Okay. That's it.
She'll stop here.
(It was fun!)
It looks like...
waving her hand like this is her habit.
She waved her hand again after that performance.
- I also have an idea of who she is. - Who?
- Seung Woo! - Tell us, Seung Woo. I'm curious.
- Seung Woo! - Pumpkin Carriage is...
This is what I wrote about her. "She is elegant and beautiful."
"She must be one of the top actresses."
- She's one of the top actresses. - Which one?
I really wanted to know if she's wearing high heels or not.
- No, she's not. - She's very tall.
She's definitely not wearing high heels.
She could be the actress in the show, "I Live Alone".
- "I Live Alone"? - Han Chae A?
Yes, Han Chae A.
I'll teach you how to dance.
(She has perfect looks,)
(but she's not a good dancer.)
- Han Chae A? - Yes, Han Chae A.
(Is Pumpkin Carriage really Han Chae A?)
- That's what Seung Woo thinks. - I'm an avid fan of that show,
and I saw her dancing in it.
- Really? - She's really bad though.
(He killed two birds with one stone.)
She's a bad dancer.
She took a dance class to become a better dancer.
She reminds me of Chae A a bit.
She seems to like dancing, but she's not a good dancer.
All right. Let's check out Flower Palanquin's speciality now.
It says "flaunting traditional beauty through dancing".
Let's watch her dance, then.
Music, please!
(What is this song?)
(Forget about unison choreography,)
(but is she going to do the foot movement with hanbok on?)
(Curious)
It's "Genie"!
(Yes! Let's go!)
Traditional beauty!
That's it! You're doing great.
(Traditional beauty)
Traditional beauty!
(This is why she named the dance like that.)
The movements are quite similar to the original dance moves.
(Sexy)
(This is fun!)
Great! She's having so much fun!
(We approve!)
I don't think she cares much about being on television.
She probably doesn't need to do any shows.
- Flower Palanquin? - That's right.
The fact that she's okay with dancing like that proves it.
You probably don't care much about winning.
No, I really want to win.
My foot was cramped up, so I couldn't...
(That's why she couldn't dance well.)
She took off her shoes.
You really wanted to do a good job, but you couldn't.
- She's really something. - You think she's special.
She's definitely very special.
(Who is she?)
All right. Now, we'll...
announce the result of the first match of Round One.
We'll reveal which one of these two...
will be the first masked singer to move on to Round Two!
Who will be the winner?
(Her powerful voice refreshes our mind.)
(Flower Palanquin with her soulful, husky voice)
(Her soft voice warms our hearts.)
(Pumpkin Carriage with her crystal clear voice)
Which one of these two will move on to Round Two?
The winner is...
Tell us!
- The winner is... - The winner is...
The winner is...
(Their match started the music battle.)
(The fierce showdown between Palanquin and Carriage)
- Who's the winner? - Hanbok versus dress.
Between the two female masked singer,
which one will move on to Round Two?
Will it be the one in hanbok or the one in a dress?
Show us the result!
(Lady on Board, Flower Palanquin won.)
Flower Palanquin won.
(My lady, you're moving on to Round Two.)
- I told you. - Flower Palanquin won.
(She'll advance to Round Two.)
Flower Palanquin beat Pumpkin Carriage.
The score was 77 to 22.
She won by a big margin.
Flower Palanquin, please return to the waiting room...
and get ready for the next round.
Please congratulate her with a round of applause.
You did a great job. Be careful.
You said she might be someone who's very famous.
I'll always do my best.
(Let's meet again in Round Two.)
Now, it's time to find out...
who Pumpkin Carriage is. She's wearing such a beautiful dress.
Let's watch her solo performance which she prepared for Round Two...
and find out who she is.
Please give her a big hand!
(Pumpkin Carriage's identity will be revealed.)
She alternates between falsetto and her chest voice.
It almost sounded as if she was crying.
Her breathing was very good.
Now, she segues into sports dance!
Sports dance!
(She even showed us Beijing opera.)
I think she could be an actress.
She might be an actress.
I've worked with him.
- With whom? - With Hyun Chul?
Do Ji Won was on my show once.
- Do Ji Won was on your show? - Yes.
"She is elegant and beautiful."
- Han Chae A? - Han Chae A.
("Love Is Like Rain Outside the Window" by Yang Su Gyeong)
(Her clear voice fills the studio.)
Her breathing is good.
(Her singing sounds even better.)
(They perk their ears.)
Her voice is so beautiful.
(Her voice sounds even more beautiful than before.)
(She has a voice as pure as transparent glass beads.)
(She softly sings a love song.)
(Who is she?)
- Who are you? - Now,
Pumpkin Carriage, please take off your mask,
and show us your face.
(Please show us your face.)
She is...
(Unbelievable)
They seem happy to see her.
What is it?
They're very surprised.
Who is it?
She is...
Yoon Hae Young.
(Yoon Hae Young, a veteran actress)
(Goodness)
(It's Yoon Hae Young.)
(She goes nuts.)
It's Yoon Hae Young!
(This must be a dream.)
(Dai Hyun still can't believe it.)
(She's pretty.)
(Her beauty didn't go anywhere.)
Wow, she's beautiful.
(It's nice to see you.)
(Today, she is not the actress Yoon Hae Young.)
(This is a stage where she shows her charms as a singer.)
(This is great.)
(They can't take their eyes off.)
(A beautiful voice with deep sensibility)
(Screaming)
(It's Hae Young's lovely stage.)
(She sang a sweet love song with her beautiful voice.)
She's so beautiful.
They're so happy to see her.
This is crazy.
Please say hello to the viewers.
I'm Yoon Hae Young, an actress.
All right.
(She made a debut as an actress in 1993.)
(She became popular by starring in "See and See Again".)
(She appeared in many TV dramas and sitcoms.)
(She's famous for her charming nasal voice.)
(She recently played a role as the wife of a hospital director.)
(Yoon Hae Young is a great actress with 24 years of experience.)
When she took off her mask and turned around,
I thought I was at an army base.
Those middle-aged men,
Hyun Chul, Jang Hyuk and Dai Hyun.
(When her identity was revealed)
(Shy)
(Surprised)
(He goes ballistic.)
- They were screaming. - We all...
debuted around the same time.
I see.
Hae Young hardly appears on variety shows.
I'm a very shy person.
When I'm with strangers,
I don't show them the funny side of me.
But I'm actually very playful.
- I see. - I even do slapstick comedy.
I thought I could be braver with a mask on, so I tried it.
It was a great opportunity to show you a different side of me.
I know. You'll never see Hae Young doing Beijing opera anywhere else.
She only did it on our show because she was wearing a mask.
Hae Young has a very charming nasal voice.
Many people like it.
I actually don't like my nasal voice.
That's why I sing songs like...
"Confession" at karaokes.
"Confession" by Yim Jae Beum?
Yes. It's because...
Please let us hear it.
What? No, I can't.
Where
(It's her nasal voice again.)
(I enjoy singing "Confession".)
- She's funny. - I know.
We think of it as your charming point,
but she doesn't like her voice.
- As she tries to hide it... - It's very charming.
Don't try to hide it.
- It will sound beautiful. - All right.
I'll be here for trot music special.
Trot music special? Okay.
It was Yoon Hae Young who showed us her hidden funny character...
and a new side of her with her charming voice.
Please give her a big round of applause.
(We will look forward to your performance in the future.)
(I was nervous.)
I was very nervous.
It was very fun and exciting.
I was touched by their warm greeting.
I hope I can be cheered on like that again in the future.
I'll work hard to show you better performance.
I'll appreciate it if you give me another chance.
I'll work hard.
Let's go!
This is the result of Round One.
Lady on Board, Flower Palanquin defeated Yoon Hae Young...
and moved on to Round Two.
This is the second match of Round One.
The mellow voice that rouses the feelings of single people.
I'm So Yellow Melon.
(I'm So Yellow Melon)
I'm So Yellow Melon. I'll sing for those who feel lonely.
(I don't want you to be lonely.)
I'm So Yellow Melon?
He's wearing a mask of a yellow melon.
His opponent will sing...
a song that will bring her good luck.
My Throat is the Grape.
(My Throat is the Grape)
I'll sing a song as refreshing as plump grapes.
(How cute she is!)
She's so cute.
She looks cute and lively.
Is this a match between the fruits?
(A yellow melon and a grape)
(It's a match between the two fruits with vines.)
(Would their stage be...)
(as sweet as ripe fruits?)
("Perhaps Love" by HowL & J.ae)
What is this song called?
This is the theme song of "Princess Hours".
Really?
(Her refreshing voice catches your ears.)
(She has a pretty voice.)
Is this coming from a CD?
She has such a beautiful voice.
(A clear and beautiful voice as if coming from a CD)
(Surprised)
(Yellow Melon also has a sweet voice.)
(My goodness.)
(It sounds so sweet.)
(Is this love?)
(With the feeling of sweet first love,)
(they carefully take a step closer to each other.)
I think I've heard his voice before.
(Is Yellow Melon a well-known person?)
(House Band)
(Grape answers sincerely...)
(to Yellow Melon's sweet confession.)
(She's good.)
(They look beautiful together.)
(His vibrato sounds mellow like a dream.)
(If you feel the same, this could be our beginning.)
(Grape has a unique singing style.)
(Who is that?)
(I don't think she is Korean.)
(Her pronunciation is unique.)
(Doesn't she seem like a rapper?)
(They have ascertained their love for each other.)
(They exchange melodies with fluttering hearts.)
(My goodness.)
(I will be good to you.)
(I love their performance.)
(They want to resemble each other...)
(even in the smallest gesture.)
(I am so jealous of them.)
(Grape and Yellow Melon showed a sweet and sour melody.)
That was nice.
They have melodious voices.
(It's is a shy and bashful love song...)
(by Yellow Melon and Grape.)
(Their performance made the audience's hearts flutter.)
It was so sweet.
I wish they would date.
- Yellow Melon is an idol singer. - I think he is.
- His voice sounds familiar. - I have heard his voice, too.
The second match of Round One came to an end.
Yellow Melon, please say hello to the viewers.
Hello, I am I'm So Yellow Melon.
I am so lonely.
- He must be lonely. - Yellow Melon.
Hello.
(Gentle)
I am Grape.
- All right. - It's nice to meet you.
All right.
She seems like a comedienne.
Grape seems like a gentle woman.
Young Seok, what did you think about their performance?
I am having mixed feelings.
- Why is that? - Their nicknames are expressions...
which show struggles in life.
His face is yellow from loneliness...
and her throat is as sour as grapes from hunger.
It's very sad.
When they entered the stage,
I thought masked singers with years of experiences...
will express struggles of their lives.
- I was biased. - I see.
When I listened to them sing,
I realised that they must be young.
Their voices have freshness...
of those in their late 20s and early 30s.
Grape's voice was...
as sweet as glucose.
Her voice sounded...
healthy and nutritious.
All right.
Yellow Melon, where are you from?
(What?)
His answer will give us a hint on his age. Where are you from?
- I am Yellow Melon from Seoul. - He is Yellow Melon from Seoul.
- That means he is young. - Is that so?
- Seongju is known for yellow melon. - That's right.
His answer should have been Seongju.
- I don't like yellow melons. - He doesn't like yellow melons.
Then why are you in a yellow melon mask?
I thought...
- Grape wasn't Korean. - She is a female vocalist.
"Is this love?" She sang like this.
(Grape's pronunciation was very distinctive.)
- Her pronunciation is distinctive. - That's why...
I think she may be...
a non-Korean.
I'm So Yellow Melon...
used gestures like this.
Idol singers learn those gestures...
to get a better angle on the camera.
His head never strayed far from the shot.
His head didn't stray when he used hand gestures.
- You should learn. - They control their movements.
- I shouldn't do this. - No, you shouldn't.
- Then I will be out of the shot. - That's right.
- Is this good enough? - Yes.
(It's not hard to be an idol singer.)
You should learn.
Everyone would agree that...
Yellow Melon sang with ease.
The way those jeans fit him tells me...
that he is an idol singer.
- It's like an airport fashion. - An airport fashion.
That's right.
As for Grape,
she doesn't use flowery singing techniques.
Around Hongdae,
there are a lot of singers who sing...
without using techniques.
(With their clear and beautiful voices,)
(these singers express delicate emotions with simplicity.)
(There are talented female singer-songwriters.)
- You think she sings at Hongdae. - That's right.
It's very hard to sing...
with delicacy.
However, her voice didn't waver once.
That's right.
She clenched and shook her fist...
to the rhythm.
She expressed her emotions with her hand gestures.
Only singers can do that.
I am certain that Grape is a singer.
Everyone seems to think that she is young,
- but I disagree. - Is that so?
While her singing style and expression of emotions...
are refreshing, there is...
an aged energy within her.
That's what I think.
Here is what I will say about I'm So Yellow Melon.
They say that a song shows the singer's heart.
I am sure...
- he has a beautiful face. - Does he have a beautiful face?
His breath tells me...
that he has a pure soul.
- His song showed his purity. - That's right.
I'm So Yellow Melon listed his special talent...
- as a manly dance. - My guess was completely off.
I wouldn't call it a manly dance.
It combines idol singers' dance and Lee Kwang Soo's dance.
I see.
Music, please.
(They recognise the song.)
("Growl" by EXO has the most powerful dance.)
(Tough)
He is showing difficult dance moves.
(I am the dancing king.)
It's "Growl".
(This is Lee Kwang Soo's breakdance.)
It's breakdance.
It's "Growl".
Let's end it here.
(He is cool.)
He is not an active idol singer. Wouldn't you agree?
We have never had an idol singer do idol singers' dance...
- on the show. - It could be a bias.
It could be a bias.
He did idol singers' dance because he isn't one.
I have an idea of who he might be.
I think he is a lonely man who used to be an idol singer.
As you know, the head of the household is lonely.
An idol singer recently became the head of the household.
He is Dong Ho.
Dong Ho.
Are you feeling okay?
My son.
(Dong Ho is a former U-Kiss member.)
Baby formula and diapers are...
more expensive than I have imagined.
- Dong Ho. - Dong Ho of U-Kiss.
He must be Dong Ho. Thinking about his child makes him lonely.
Is Dong Ho a father? I thought it was Eli.
- Eli is a father, too. - Eli has a child, too.
Do two members of U-Kiss have a child?
- For an idol singer... - U-Kiss is incredible.
(U-Kiss is incredible.)
I don't know how it came to be that way.
When I heard Yellow Melon's voice,
I realised that it's a voice I have heard before.
It's a voice you have heard.
I heard the voice in 2005 and 2006.
- Who is it? - I don't know.
That's the problem.
(He doesn't remember the owner of the voice.)
It's maddening. I have heard it before.
- You heard the voice... - I am certain of it.
- in 2005. - That's right.
He must be a former idol singer.
I think Grape is...
a singer as well.
The only thing we know about her...
is her height.
She is skinny and petite.
She might be...
Jeon Young Rok's daughter.
- T-ara. - Bo Ram.
- Bo Ram.
(She has a baby face.)
(She is a short and charming woman.)
(Is Grape Boram of T-ara?)
I think she is in a girl group.
I personally think...
- she is Do Hee of Tiny-G. - Do Hee.
- She also acts. - That's right.
(Did Do Hee visit King of Mask Singer...)
(to show off her singing skills instead of acting skills?)
Grape's special talent...
might give you a hint.
She will show us...
popping dance...
- and English rap. - English rap?
She will mix popping dance and English rap.
She is telling you that you are wrong.
Am I wrong?
(She uses a Western hand gesture.)
She motioned to him with his finger.
- Wait a minute. It's a big hint. - She must be a lot older than him.
He motioned to Seong Ju like this.
Seong Ju was unfazed.
She must be a lot older than him.
- I apologise. - Grape motioned to him.
- She did this. - Grape gave me...
the exact name of the dance.
It's Oksu-dong Dancing Queen's...
Minimal Popping Dance.
That's the dance she will show us.
I don't know who Oksu-dong dancing queen refers to.
Is that you? She is the dancing queen of Oksu-dong.
- She is the dancing queen. - Let's see the popping dance.
Music, please.
(The dancing queen of Oksu-dong is different from the start.)
(Pointing)
She's got the groove.
(She dances rhythmically.)
She said that she's the dancing queen of Oksu-dong.
(In every move she makes,)
Gosh. She's so small,
(there's decency of a queen.)
but she's got all the rhythm she needs.
(Yellow Melon, are you looking at me?)
(I rule the stage.)
She looks like a professional dancer.
(She looks confident.)
It's not ordinary dance. We'll stop here.
Gosh, she's good.
She was the dancing queen of Oksu-dong.
She dances really well.
She seems to be out of breath.
Calm your breath.
Are you okay? Take a deep breath.
I saw the previous masked singers also pretended to be out of breath.
I can see that she's not out of breath at all.
You're free to make your guess.
We've got him.
Now, show us your English rap.
I'll take a close look.
Mike.
Check. One, two.
(Don't try to compare us)
(She raps unhesitatingly.)
(Bump, bump)
(Rapping)
(Does she even breathe?)
(She doesn't slow down at all.)
Wait a minute.
(She revealed her real voice.)
(She managed to rap to the end.)
This is it.
- This is it. - Who's she?
You even heard her real voice.
- You heard the rap in her voice. - Excuse me,
isn't this "Jump" by Kris Kross?
(Nodding)
- I was right. - You may be right.
Kris Kross performed in the early 1990s.
Two little African-Americans of 12 and 13 years old rapped.
They made wearing the clothes back to the front famous...
before Seo Taiji and Boys did it.
- Does she sound like a native? - As for rapping,
I think she practised a lot.
Her rap sounded like the one with a lot of practice.
This might help your deduction.
It's the photography hint.
Let's see Yellow Melon's childhood photo.
Yellow Melon.
He was Yellow Melon even as a child.
He seems to be at home with his head on the couch,
and sleeping.
- I think... - Yes, Dong Geun.
I had a crew-cut when I was 6 to 7.
His hair, however, is shaggy.
His hair is shaggy.
Is he about your age?
I meant to say that he may be younger than me.
- Is he younger than you? - I'm 24 years old.
- Right. - Are you serious?
Now, let's see Grape's childhood photo.
This is her, at home,
- when she was nine years old. - How do we know with that?
- She's doing a fashion show alone. - I see.
Gosh, now I know.
She's doing a fashion show alone.
Isn't she Kim Ka Yeon?
She seems to be rich, judging from the photo.
Kim Ka Yeon is the daughter of a wealthy man in Jeonju.
I was told not to get married.
What kind of fortune-teller is that?
(She's an attractive woman...)
(who married Lim Yo Hwan, a man who's eight years younger than her.)
She looks a lot like Ka Yeon.
(Suddenly, he whispers to her.)
Grape tells me that she wants to tell something...
- to Bong Sun. - She's Ka Yeon, for sure.
She wanted to tell you something for a long time.
- Right. - Me?
- Yes, you. - What is it?
The person I like...
likes you very much.
Does Yo Hwan like me?
(Lim Yo Hwan likes Shin Bong Sun.)
She's the symbol of jealousy.
(What are you going to do? She's the symbol of jealousy.)
I'm very jealous of you, Bong Sun.
- Really? - She's very competitive.
He likes you very much.
What?
This is ridiculous.
It's too soon to call it over.
(This drama is sponsored by Mask Chicken.)
I'll announce the result of the second match of Round One.
Between the two masked singers, I'll now reveal the winner...
who seized your ears.
This is the second match of Round One.
(Is it Yellow Melon...)
(whose mellow voice knocked our hearts?)
(Or is it Grape...)
(whose clear voice made the hearts flutter?)
The winner who'll move on to Round Two...
is...
The winner is...
(It was a breath-taking match.)
(What's the result?)
Who is it?
Is the winner Yellow Melon or Grape, Grape or Yellow Melon?
The hero,
the winner is...
(Yellow Melon is the winner.)
Yellow Melon is the winner.
(Yellow Melon's fans cheer.)
(Grape's fans moan.)
Go, Yellow Melon.
(Yellow Melon moves on to Round Two.)
I'm So Yellow Melon has won.
The male singer won over Grape.
Please go back to your waiting room.
Please give him a big hand.
(The puzzling identity of Grape will be revealed soon.)
The male singer has become the winner.
(Trudging)
(Sighs)
I was really nervous.
I'll do my best.
(Dancing)
(He's already recharged.)
Who will she be?
We will reveal her identity with a solo she prepared...
for the next round.
Give her a big hand.
I think she's undoubtedly a singer.
- She's Bo Ram... - of T-ara.
There's a member in Tiny-G named Do Hee.
Many singers in Hongdae sing in a plain and clear voice.
Isn't she Kim Ka Yeon?
("Hey Hey Hey" by Jaurim)
She's cute.
(Cheerful melody makes the people dance as well.)
(Her voice changed.)
(Her shyness has disappeared...)
(and her voice changed into a confident and sexy voice.)
(Thump)
(Hey, hey, hey)
(The panellist jumped into the flood of rhythm...)
(as they follow Grape's charismatic voice.)
(She was pure and innocent in Round One,)
(but now she's sexy in the solo performance.)
(Who's Grape with various charms?)
Now, Grape, please take off your mask...
and reveal your face.
What is it?
- She is... - What happened?
Who is she?
She is...
(Grape's identity is...)
a singer from the group named T.T.MA and of 18 years of singing career,
Soy.
Oh, my gosh.
She is Soy.
(No one saw this coming.)
- Soy. - She was Soy.
(It's nicer to see Soy since we haven't seen her for a while.)
She was Soy.
(She was a leader of a girl group...)
(that consisted of five members and debuted in 1999.)
If you've picked a guitarist, you must value her opinion, too.
Julian is my lover.
(She didn't quit singing...)
(and still working as a one-man band...)
(under the name Raspberry Field.)
(Although it's been a while,)
(her voice...)
(still washes away...)
(any loneliness or sorrow.)
Let's sing together.
(Hey, hey, hey)
(We were absorbed in Soy's happy vibe during the performance.)
(Let us see you more often.)
It's been a long time.
I didn't guess her right.
Hello, it's been a while.
I'm Soy, a singer and actress.
The time has passed,
but Soy is still girlish and cute.
You wanted to be free from some bias...
with the help of today's performance.
My brother-in-law is Cho Kyu Chan,
my sister's Hey and the members of my family-in-law include...
- Cho Kyu Cheon and Cho Kyu Man. - The musical family.
I'm among the people with musical talent.
Although I'm playing music because of my love for it,
I feel daunted a lot.
But if people like me try hard enough,
some day...
I will become a good singer even though I'm not a genius.
I want to give such hope to people.
I have a question by the way.
You said that the person you like likes me.
What does that mean?
I was waiting for you...
to take off the mask and tell me the truth.
She's Jung In.
- Jung In? - A woman likes you.
- The person is a woman. - Didn't you know that?
Didn't you know that it was a woman?
(I thought a man liked me.)
I like Jung In very much.
She gets a lot of text messages from Bong Sun when she is with me.
Jung In is my close friend. Let's be friends.
Okay.
- You don't need to feel small. - Okay.
Just keep singing your song.
I believe many people will love you.
Thank you.
Today, she put away the bias against herself...
and showed her great performance with confidence.
It was Soy. Please give her a round of applause.
Soy.
(We look forward to your future endeavours.)
I'm sorry that I didn't get to sing the songs I'd prepared.
It was fun though.
I enjoyed it a lot.
People always say that...
Hey is a good singer.
Or her husband, Cho Kyu Chan is a good singer.
People would say, "Is Soy a singer?"
I don't want to give up though.
I just want to say what I want to say through music.
Thank you for letting me sing on the stage.
I'm So Yellow Melon beat Soy...
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.
Let's continue Round One.
Let's begin the third match of Round One.
The third match of Round One.
No one can escape from his charm.
Mobius Strip.
(Mobius Strip)
You will reach me after going round and round.
(He is Mobius Strip.)
(He looks cool.)
He looks cool.
(Welcome to my unlimited charms.)
His opponent is a man who calculates all probabilities to win.
Plus One Win and Minus Mask King.
(Plus One Win and Minus Mask King)
By my calculations, I will win this match.
(The calculation is complete.)
(Welcome.)
He is tall.
Minus Mask King looks like a good singer.
(Tall, slim and fancy)
They look cool.
It's purple.
Mobius Strip looks extraordinary.
- I know. He looks powerful. - Right.
I think he is a singer.
He is...
checking the monitors already.
He is very tall.
There are not many singers who are that tall.
I'm curious.
I don't think I can guess who they are.
Let's get it right this time.
(The two masked singers are making a strong impression.)
(What song are they singing in this round?)
("You in Vague Memory" by Hyun Jin Young)
(He catches people's ears immediately.)
(Mobius Strip sounds rough and mysterious.)
(With his pure and clear voice,)
(Minus Mask King starts singing with vigour.)
(Shouting)
(They travel 25 years back to 1992...)
(with Hyun Jin Young's song, "You in Vague Memory".)
(Let's enjoy the song.)
(Their bodies remember...)
(the dance moves of the time.)
Hit it!
(His voice sounds like the greenery of midsummer.)
(Minus Mask King's voice is young and fresh.)
(Shouting)
(Whose voice is this?)
(His voice sounds like a dreamy purple colour.)
(Mobius Strip has a rich and deep voice.)
(Shouting)
(Even though I want)
(To love you)
(You turned your back on me.)
(You got away from me.)
(Amazed)
(The roar of yearning for her in his vague memory)
(Singing along)
(In time)
(Can't find it)
(Mobius Strip is a good singer and a rapper.)
(It is Minus Mask King's turn.)
(Why)
(Left behind)
(Minus Mask King gives off his powerful energy.)
(Even though time goes by)
(He is full of energy.)
(It is a cheerful harmony of two masked singers.)
(Dancing in trance)
(This is exciting.)
(Amazed)
(His charming voice catches the ears of the audience.)
(His voice sounds captivating and powerful.)
(Excited)
(One more time!)
(Jump!)
(The two masked singers' enthusiasm...)
(made a great performance of "You in Vague Memory".)
(We wouldn't be afraid of anything with these two men.)
(Their cool performance will beat the summer heat.)
(It was amazing indeed.)
(It was the best.)
It was the best. They are so good.
- It was exciting. - They are so cool.
What should I do?
They did a good job.
The third match of Round One is finally over.
Please say hello to those who are watching our programme.
Hello. I'm Mobius Strip.
He's all dressed up in purple suit.
He looks like a magician.
One plus one is a cutie.
Hello. I'm Plus One Win and Minus Mask King.
(He is cute.)
His mask is a calculator.
They just showed a passionate performance on the stage.
And Hyun Chul looked very excited.
He seemed to enjoy it very much.
The song "You in Vague Memory" was very popular.
Anyone would have danced to the song back then.
(Exciting beat and rhythm)
(The song gets your feet moving immediately.)
Mobius Strip and Minus Mask King...
were nip-and-tuck in the match.
There was a difference in their voices though.
Mobius Strip sounded like a rocker...
while Minus Mask King sounded like a pop singer.
Mobius Strip is proud of being a rocker.
So he stood still when he sang.
Meanwhile, Minus Mask King was dancing the whole time.
Minus Mask King was being very active.
Minus Mask King was...
Look at that. He keeps moving while I say something.
He is a bit distracted.
I think he is quite young.
I think Mobius Strip is a member of Yada.
- Yada? - Yes.
(Jeon In Hyuk and Kim Da Hyun are the vocalists of the band.)
(Yada is a band that sings powerful and manly songs.)
He might be a member of the band.
Young Seok, how did you like their performance as a musician?
Watching Mobius Strip singing,
I felt like a ginseng digger.
It felt like I'd found a wild ginseng.
(Young Seok is a ginseng digger.)
(He hears Mobius Strip's song deep in the mountains.)
(I found it.)
I found a wild ginseng.
I found a wild ginseng!
He's got good singing skills...
and he has a great tone of voice.
He looked very focused and determined the whole time.
I can understand how ginseng diggers feel when they find wild ginseng.
- Right. He's like wild ginseng. - Exactly.
Minus Mask King did very well, too.
- He has such a great voice. - Right.
His voice is...
very clear. Watching his performance was like looking at an image...
- with a very high resolution. - I see.
(He has such a pure, clear voice.)
His singing skills are certainly on par,
but one thing made me think...
that he is not a professional singer.
It's the fact that he's not good at controlling his emotions on stage.
- I see your point. - When performing on stage,
singing to one's best of ability comes first.
And the excitement should support the singing.
In his case, his excitement overpowers his performance.
- That's true. - Singing comes after that.
- Right. - Being overly excited...
made his singing unstable.
His identity as a singer was uncertain.
- I kept changing my views. - I see.
Seong Ju, Seung Woo told me something.
- Did he tell you something? - He did.
I actually think what he told me is right.
- I'm certain of it. - It's about Mobius Strip.
- Mobius Strip. - Seung Woo told me...
what he thought,
and I also knew that person is a good singer.
I think he is a member of a band.
He's the leader of a band.
He's very charismatic, too. Aren't I right?
Yes. I'm a huge fan of him.
- Seriously? - He's very charismatic.
Seung Woo and I will keep it to ourselves for now.
- You have an idea of who he is. - Yes.
I'm convinced.
They're saying that he's a member of a band,
but my opinion is different.
Based on how he sings, I think he's more experienced...
with R&B style songs.
- R&B. - Also, he keeps his voice...
inside when he sings.
- He keeps his voice inside? - He does.
- What do you mean exactly? - I'll show you an example.
(Singing)
- He locks his voice in like this. - I see the difference.
Kim Gun Mo sings like that.
Don't tell me that, try putting yourself in my shoes
He keeps his voice in and controls it.
- Is that so? - On the other hand,
Minus Mask King...
lets his voice out.
I see. Minus Mask King lets his voice out.
(He breathes out as he sings.)
He lets the sound come out like this.
- So... - They're clearly different.
I think that Minus Mask King...
is a bigger fan of rock music.
In Mobius Strip's case, I noticed something when he was rapping.
- He has a great sense of rhythm. - Mobius Strip?
I don't think he's someone who just sings.
I think he's a singer-songwriter or a musician who has...
an extensive understanding of music.
Dong Geun, is there anyone specific that comes to your mind?
I also watched many video clips...
of Mobius Strip's performances.
- Gosh! Do you know who he is? - Do you know?
I know which group he belongs to.
- Don't tell us who he is. - I'm dying to know.
He's very famous, and everyone knows how talented he is as a musician.
Don't say it! You mustn't!
He's already widely recognised as a talented musician.
(Who is he?)
There are many video clips of his legendary performances.
I see.
From where I stand,
I can see that those on the left are so excited, while those...
- on the right are annoyed. - We're so annoyed.
- They're whispering to each other. - They are so curious!
- It's just a guess though. - Knowledge is so important.
- You're too much. - That's enough, everyone.
Minus Mask King also...
sang very well. I really enjoyed it.
- And he keeps doing that. - Why does he do that?
- I think... - Why do you keep doing that?
- Can you make the gestures bigger? - I think he's someone...
who is very expressive.
I can't make the gestures bigger because I'm worried...
- about my sweaty armpit. - He's worried his sweat will show.
- I see. - Yes. I'm sorry.
Just do it. Who cares?
- All right. - He's sweating a lot.
- He shouldn't have done that. - Right, he shouldn't.
He has sweated buckets.
- It's like a hot spring. - He has sweated buckets.
(You're exhausted because of the heatwave, right?)
(Let's beat the heat!)
All right. Now, he'll...
show us his speciality.
"Dope" by BTS.
He'll show us the dance moves to this song.
Music, please!
(He's getting excited again.)
(Dope)
(His dance moves are so controlled.)
Oh, my. He's really good.
(His moves are precise.)
He's a good dancer. Oh, my.
(What is going on here?)
Gosh, every dance move is precisely controlled.
(This is so awesome!)
- That's it. - He did that gesture again.
- "Right, that's it." - He ended it with that gesture.
His shirt is soaked in sweat on the back, too.
- Is he hairless on the back? - My goodness.
- I see "Y" on his back. - He's very passionate.
Anyway, we saw that he's a great dancer.
I think that Minus Mask King is...
- Jin Woon of 2AM. - Jeong Jin Woon?
(Jeong Jin Woon of 2AM...)
(is back as a member of Jeong Jin Woon Band.)
Jeong Jin Woon of 2AM?
- Yes. I see a resemblance. - I see.
I think Mobius Strip is...
Choi Jong Hoon of FT Island is such an amazing singer.
- FT Island? - He's the bassist.
(Is Mobius Strip Choi Jong Hoon of FT Island?)
- Choi Jong Hoon of FT Island? - He plays the bass guitar.
- The bass guitar. - That's right.
Jeong Jin Woon and Choi Jong Hoon.
- That's my guess. - That's very specific.
- Yes. - Thank you.
- But it's... - Yes.
- I think he's Jin Woon. - That gesture is so catchy.
- I think her guess is right. - All right.
"You think so?"
I think he's really Jin Woon.
Seung Woo, tell us what you think.
I do think that he could be Jin Woon.
I heard that he has no underarm hair.
- Yes, that's right! - That might make him sweat a lot.
- Right. - That just came to my mind.
- Secondly... - He has no underarm hair?
- No. - He's self-conscious about that.
- Is that even possible? - That's why he's self-conscious.
- Shouldn't he go see a doctor? - Why should he?
- Isn't it a good thing? - Can people have no underarm hair?
- Yes, some don't. - My goodness.
Gu Ra seems to agree with Seung Woo wholeheartedly.
- He's my strategist. - But it's a little...
- He's my strategist. - As of today.
Call him my strategist. He's so smart.
All right. It says here that he's good...
- at playing the bamboo flute. - Oh, my.
Here it is. He has to hold the flute. Oh, thank you.
- Mobius Strip, that's great. - That's thoughtful of him.
- Great. - Thank you so much.
I appoint you as my strategist.
Please play it for us.
(He plays the bamboo flute.)
(He continues playing.)
(He cracks up.)
I could feel a sense of deep sorrow. He really felt it.
- You did a good job. - Is he crying now?
- You did very well. - You did a great job.
Playing the bamboo flute isn't easy.
It must've been difficult. Yes, you did a great job!
That was really awesome.
All right. It's Mobius Strip's turn.
His speciality is also dance.
It's Seventeen's dance.
In the middle of the song, the lyric is, "You're pretty."
To whom would you like to dedicate this dance?
The one that is sitting over there. Yoo A.
You'd like to dedicate this dance to Yoo A?
- My goodness. - You're pretty.
I see. This is exciting.
Mobius Strip, good luck!
So you'll dance for Yoo A.
Let's see the dance. I can hold onto your microphone.
Music, please!
(I want to gather all pretty words)
(And give them to you)
(He tries hard.)
(But when I'm with you, I can't seem to say them)
(From left to right)
(After pondering on it, I tell myself)
(What has been on the tip of my tongue)
(I'll be sure to say it to you)
(You're pretty)
"Pretty U"!
- It was for Yoo A. - "Yoo A, you're pretty."
He blew a kiss, too.
Yoo A, what did you think of his dance?
- Frankly, he's not a good dancer. - You don't think he's good?
However, he tried his best, so I loved it. Thank you.
Now, let's listen to the minority opinions.
I think that Mobius Strip...
is a very talented rock musician...
who has done many live performances. He also has such a charming voice...
that can express deep emotions.
- So I think he's Oh Hyuk. - Oh Hyuk of Hyukoh.
(The talented band known for its vocalist's dreamy voice)
- Hyukoh. I see. - Yes.
It's just a minority report. Don't mind it too much.
All right. I'll announce the result of the third match...
of Round One.
Gosh. It was neck-and-neck just as we predicted.
(It was neck-and-neck.)
Between Mobius Strip who has boundless vocal skills...
and Minus Mask King who is so cheery and talented,
who will be the winner of this match?
We'll reveal the result now!
(We'll reveal the result now.)
(With his irresistible voice,)
(Mobius Strip freely controlled the sounds during his performance.)
(With his pure voice,)
(Minus Mask King flaunted his talents on stage.)
(The two men certainly charmed us with their passionate performance.)
The third masked singer who will move on to Round Two.
The winner is...
(King of Mask Singer)
- The winner is... - The winner is...
(Everyone is nervous.)
(It was an unpredictable nip-and-tuck match.)
It was definitely nip-and-tuck.
Both of them are great singers.
The winner is...
(Mobius Strip won.)
Mobius Strip is the winner.
(Mobius Strip has been chosen as the winner!)
Yes, I knew it!
(Mobius Strip)
(You're the best.)
He's doing that gesture again.
Mobius Strip...
Mobius Strip is the winner.
Mobius Strip defeats Minus Mask King...
and moves on to Round Two.
Please go back to your waiting room.
Please give him a big hand.
Congratulations. He will move on to the next round.
This is great. I had a lot of fun.
(He looks excited.)
King of Mask Singer, I will see you in a second.
I'll confine you in here.
Who will be Minus Mask King?
Before he takes off his mask, I'll tell you something.
The number 38 on his mask is...
the number of votes he was hoping to get.
This is why he's so happy.
(He got five more votes.)
He got more than 38 votes.
- I'm so happy. - He says he's happy.
He's a nice person.
He's a good man.
We will reveal his identity...
with his solo performance. Please give him a big hand.
(We'll reveal his identity.)
Shall we have some fun?
He has a very clear and high-quality voice.
He sings as he exhales.
(Minus Mask King is a very cheerful person.)
He's good.
(He also sweats a lot under his arms.)
You're sweating a lot.
I think Minus Mask King is Jeong Jin Woon from 2AM.
I heard Jin Woon has no hair under his arms.
I think he's Jin Woon.
- This is addictive. - I think it's him.
("Entertainer" by Psy)
(Surprised)
(He picked an exciting song.)
(Who is he?)
(We will start shooting now)
(Are you ready to have some fun?)
(I'm your entertainer)
(He makes my heart race.)
(Wow.)
(Minus Mask King is rocking the studio.)
(He shakes his hips.)
(Who is this man that would make you laugh every day?)
(Take off your mask.)
(Not yet.)
(Frustrated)
(Dance singer)
Now, Minus Mask King, please take off your mask...
and reveal your face.
(Screaming)
They're making a big fuss.
Who is it?
They're screaming.
Now, Minus Mask King, please take off your mask...
and reveal your face.
- He is... - Who is it?
Jeong Jin Woon, the King of Dance,
who returned as a rocker from 2AM's vocalist.
(That's unbelievable.)
(We were right.)
(My goodness.)
(We knew it was Jeong Jin Woon.)
Why couldn't you find me?
(His innocence was hidden behind the mask.)
(Jin Woon rules the stage.)
(Let's sing it together.)
(Wow.)
(I'm your entertainer)
(Jin Woon was born to be a talented entertainer.)
Thank you.
(You're so great.)
(Excited)
He's so cute.
Minus Mask King's identity has been revealed.
He is the King of Dance,
Jeong Jin Woon.
I'm Jeong Jin Woon from 2AM. I came back as...
a member of Jeong Jin Woon Band.
(Jin Woon is the youngest member of 2AM who made a debut in 2008.)
(2AM made big hits with "Never Let You Go" and "Like Crazy".)
(King of Dance)
(However, Jin Woon recently had an extreme makeover.)
(The King of Dance has come to King of Mask Singer.)
Your nickname is King of Dance.
You haven't stood still even for a second.
Gosh.
He's such a cheerful person.
I thought about how I was going to introduce myself.
I thought you'd know who I am if I danced a lot.
That's why I tried to keep my dancing...
to a minimum.
(His plan failed.)
He tried to keep his dancing to a minimum.
It looks like you started to sing in a band.
It's been seven years since I started a band.
Not many people know about our band.
We released a new album. This time, we will go on TV shows...
- and try to promote our album. - I see.
I realised he is a very charming person when he was on "Radio Star".
He's very intemperate.
(He starts dancing like a drunken old man...)
(followed by an old woman dance.)
(I'm a beautiful old woman.)
(He is unstoppable.)
No one can stop him.
The sweat under his arms is unstoppable, too.
I got tired eventually.
- You wanted him to stop. - Right. He should've stopped.
- That's his charm. - Jin Woon was well-known...
for his talents...
and his playful character.
It looks like you sweat a lot.
I don't normally sweat a lot.
Your face is covered in sweat.
- Right. - Why don't you have armpit hair?
(Suddenly questioning)
- Right. I need to explain. - Let's hear his explanation.
- I'm so curious. - He doesn't have armpit hair.
That's when I was in high school.
- What about now? - Do you have armpit hair now?
I'll leave it to your imagination.
- Goodness. - Gosh.
(Imagining)
You didn't have it back then.
Why should we imagine about that?
We don't have to.
What did you think about his performance, Jang Hyuk?
How he sang isn't important.
Everyone got excited watching his performance.
His gesture, how he communicated with the audience...
and how he enjoyed the music freely...
showed that he is a true musician.
If he performs with the natural talent...
he has for music,
everyone will love his stage.
- Thank you. - It was the best.
(You're the best.)
Good. It was Jeong Jin Woon who enjoyed his stage...
as a true musician.
Please give him a big round of applause.
- Thank you. - It was a great stage.
(He stays cheerful throughout the show.)
It was so much fun to be on stage.
Many people think of me as a ballad singer...
or someone who sings the verse of ballad songs.
I've been singing ballad songs...
for almost eight years, so it's natural that people think that way.
I wanted to show my true self before it's too late.
I came here to show you who I really am.
I'm satisfied with the dance I showed you.
I had so much fun on stage.
Mobius Strip defeated Jeong Jin Woon...
and moved on to Round Two.
This is the last match of Round One.
(Fourth match of Round One)
He has a five-coloured voice...
dancing on a white canvas.
Watercolor Painting on a Rainy Day.
(Watercolor Painting on a Rainy Day)
I will colour your heart with my singing.
(His head almost touches the ceiling.)
He is so tall.
We could start guessing his identity. Sung Si Kyung.
Kim Jang Hoon.
I think he might be Choi Hong Man.
Opposing him...
is a talented vocalist who sings with sincerity.
Frozen Dumpling Has Been Thawed!
(Frozen Dumpling Has Been Thawed)
(Toasty)
Gosh, it's hot.
I will show my burning passion to the audience.
(He is a passionate chef.)
(We can't wait to hear his song.)
From the mask, he looks like Lee Yeon Bok.
Lee Yeon Bok.
He seems like a young man. He has nice skin on his arms.
He is young.
I think he is a middle-aged man.
(The two masked singers' identities are unknown.)
(Which duet performance will they show?)
("Dream" by Lee Hyun Woo)
This is nice.
I love this song.
(The cheerful rhythm makes everyone dance.)
(How will they sing?)
Who is he?
(Coarse and tough voice)
(Who is he?)
(Wow.)
(His voice is refreshing and powerful.)
(There is simplicity in his singing style.)
(Who is he?)
(He hits high notes with ease.)
Who is he?
(His singing skills surprise everyone.)
(Swaying)
(Frozen Dumpling, give me some dumplings.)
(Laughing)
(Bickering)
(You must pay first.)
(You are so cold.)
(The easy way with which he sings is captivating.)
(He has a unique singing style.)
He has an amazing voice.
I have heard his voice.
(His voice sounds familiar.)
(Who could be this manly masked singer?)
(The atmosphere gets heated.)
(Oh, yes.)
(Their voices captivate the audience's ears.)
(This is the performance we wanted.)
(Watercolor Painting sings with relaxed and long breaths.)
(He sings with vibration.)
(Frozen Dumpling uses unique vibration.)
(Yes.)
(He is quite talented.)
(Dancing)
(The two men's passionate performance...)
(makes the panellists fall into a trance.)
(Dancing)
(They heated up the evening.)
(Watercolor Painting and Frozen Dumpling make a perfect duo.)
These middle-aged men are so cute.
(Dizzy)
- It was fun. - It was nice.
I had so much fun.
They turn into longing
The last match of Round One came to an end.
Watercolor Painting on a Rainy Day, say hello to the viewers.
Hello, I am Watercolor Painting on a Rainy Day.
It's nice to meet you.
Watercolor Painting on a Rainy Day...
is very tall.
Hello.
I am Frozen Dumpling Has Been Thawed.
He has a loud voice.
He seems like someone who runs a dumpling restaurant.
I wonder what people thought about their performance. Hyun Chul?
(Let's see how much he enjoyed the performance.)
(Shouting)
It seemed like you were having a lot of fun.
The directors enjoyed watching you.
I will start with Watercolor Painting.
- Lee Hyun Woo sang "Dream". - That's right.
He also sang the song without expressing his emotions.
There was only a hint of emotions,
- He sang calmly. - Yes.
(Chic and calm)
(The image of you)
(He remained chic and calm throughout the song.)
Watercolor Painting's performance showed...
that characteristic.
This is what I gathered from his physical appearance.
He is tall.
I also saw muscles on his arms when he moved.
(Staring)
He has muscles on his arms.
I see. He is covering himself up.
I think is an athlete who uses his arms a lot.
His arms are muscular.
I will now talk about Frozen Dumpling.
At first, I wondered if he is a classical singer.
It was in his vocalisation.
(His vocalisation was rich and stable.)
(Is he a classical singer who can sing with intensity?)
However, he began to show a middle-aged man's dance...
towards the end of the performance.
Singers use this hand gesture when they hit high notes these days.
He didn't.
(He used an outdated hand gesture of a middle-aged man.)
- This is what he did. - He gestured like this.
Such hand gesture were used by singers before our time.
- It was stylish before your time. - That's right.
(Hyun Cheol)
(Lee Eun Ha)
(He must be an old singer.)
I spotted something incredible.
Hyun Chul was so excited that he danced.
I saw Frozen Dumpling...
watching Hyun Chul dance.
(The panellists were having a dance party.)
(He became the first masked singer to watch a panellist.)
- Did he really do that? - Yes, I saw it.
- He watched Hyun Chul. - I realised that...
he must be someone in the entertainment business...
who has not met other celebrities often.
He has not met celebrities often.
- I think he is a voice actor... - A voice actor.
or an anchor.
I think Frozen Dumpling is an anchor.
He is an anchor who works for MBC.
Why do you think that?
I imagine that's how an anchor would sing.
He sang like an anchor.
Yes, he did.
I can't come up with a name since I don't watch the news.
I just think he is an anchor.
Are Japanese anchors like him, too?
I don't watch the news.
I see.
I have no idea.
- You don't want the news anywhere. - Yes.
Jang Hyuk, what did you think about their performance?
When Watercolor Painting sings,
he has a long breath.
He has a long breath?
Some singers stretch out...
the last part of a bar.
When I close my eyes
The image of you approached me
Like a dream
(The wind blows)
He has a long breath.
- He has an excellent lung capacity. - That's right.
He will be good at holding his breath.
- He will be good at it. - Could he be a swimmer?
- He might be a swimmer. - A swimmer.
That's right.
Frozen Dumpling doesn't breathe like he is singing.
He breathes like he is in a play.
- He breathes like he is in a play. - That's right.
I think he is an actor with a loud voice.
Dong Geun, you enjoyed the performance.
I really enjoyed the performance...
because it had the charm of the 90s.
How would you know what that is?
This is how Lee Sang Eun sang.
One day
We will meet again
That's the charm of the 90s.
Yes. I liked how they hit high notes.
- Frozen Dumpling shows... - Frozen Dumpling.
characteristics of a middle-aged man.
I think he is doing it on purpose.
- I think he is acting. - You think he is acting.
He seems like a musical singer.
He can sing very well.
Since Watercolor Painting sang like Kim Jang Hoon,
I think he altered his voice...
in order to give the 90s vibe to this performance.
He gave it the 90s vibe.
In my opinion, these two masked singers are...
Seong Ju's colleagues for the Rio Olympics.
Is that so?
His best friends visited the show.
- You mean both of them? - That's why they came out together.
They're close friends. Watercolor Painting can be...
a commentator of basketball.
But the fact that Watercolor Painting...
suddenly grabbed him by the neck in performance...
suggests that he thinks Frozen Dumpling is reliable.
Hence, I think...
he's one of the commentators.
As for Frozen Dumpling,
many of you said...
that he looks old.
He wrote that his speciality is...
an exciting dance.
We'll see his dance.
Music, please!
(Cheerful rhythm flows.)
(Jumping)
He's joyous.
One step, two step.
I like your moves.
Let's swing front to back.
Gosh, what is that?
(He pokes the space between the fingers.)
- I remember that. - I used to play that as a child.
(Dancing)
What is this? I've seen this dance a lot.
Look at this, too.
(This dance move is popular among old men.)
(Old men, cheer up.)
We'll stop here.
He is a typical old man.
- He's got it. - He really is.
- We've seen many surprising moves. - I bet he won't take a plane.
- Won't he take a plane? - He won't.
It's like an assorted set of old-fashioned dances.
We've seen many old school dance moves.
Dai Hyun, you don't find the moves unfamiliar,
- do you? - I'm quite familiar with them.
- How did you like them? - As those dance moves...
were a bit too old...
for an idol singer to handle,
it's not possible for him to be an idol singer.
I know precisely who they are.
- Do you? - Tell us. I'm curious.
They're chefs.
- Are they really chefs? - Lee Yeon Bok?
They are Lee Yeon Bok and Choi Hyun Seok.
(Are they really Lee Yeon Bok and Choi Hyun Seok?)
Judging from their white arms,
they work inside the building.
- Their occupation is... - They have indoor jobs.
Many of you are guessing.
Now, we'll see Watercolor Painting's...
performance dance.
It means that he'll dance whatever he likes.
That's what it means.
It's the performance dance. Music, please.
(A man moves slowly with a shackle in his ankle.)
Wow.
(A man moves slowly with a shackle in his ankle.)
Right.
(What is he going to do?)
(He throws a ball...)
(and hits a strike.)
(This feels good.)
(Good job.)
(Oh, yes.)
(Marching)
(It's like a goal ceremony.)
He looks like a musical actor.
He's performing art.
(Mum, I hit a strike.)
This is it.
- He must've seen something. - He's so funny.
- He performed art. - He maintains the same posture.
You may stand up.
Now, we'll listen to...
- the real voice... - Gosh.
of Frozen Dumpling.
Of the list you've written, can you mimic Johnny Yune's voice?
Johnny Yune. You've got to do it right.
Hello,
(This is the voice.)
I'm Johnny Yune.
Let's hear Johnny Yune's voice.
(Can he do it?)
Hello, I'm Johnny Yune.
(I'm Johnny Yune.)
- It was similar. - This is it.
- He did it well. - He was good.
- You have to keep this quality. - As an art-lover,
could you recommend the dumpling...
in Johnny Yune's voice?
(Dumpling in Johnny Yune's voice?)
The dumpling.
- It was a nice one. - He applies the voice freely.
(He mimics Frozen Dumpling.)
You did so well.
Now, he'll mimic the voice of Park Hee Jin or Mrs Anseong.
Let's hear Park Hee Jin.
(Can he mimic a woman's voice?)
(Park, park, park.)
I'm Park Hee Jin or Mrs Anseong.
- Wow. - I may know him.
- I know this voice. - Gosh,
I'm so nervous.
It was so close. I don't think they know.
I don't think they know.
He'll sing in Na Hoon A's voice.
Let's hear Na Hoon A.
Cosmos
- Wow. - He has a wonderful voice.
This is the last one. Let's hear Nam Jin.
That green
That was too short.
He'll sing only a bit to protect his identity.
- Excuse me, Frozen Dumpling. - Yes.
Which country have you recently been to?
- I've been to France. - France.
- He's been to France. - What was the occasion?
- That's a secret. - That's a secret.
I've been to Japan last year.
Let's talk about why we went there.
What do you mean?
(I better pay attention.)
Now, we'll let you hear...
Watercolor Painting's real voice as well.
He can mimic Lee Deok Hwa's voice. Let us hear that.
(He clears the throat.)
I'm your Lee Deok Hwa.
Hair, hair.
Please.
(He's hilarious.)
This Lee Deok Hwa is...
so funny.
(Seong Ju is laughing so hard.)
Seong Ju loves it.
Aren't you happy to commentate with him?
(He feels dizzy.)
I asked for Lee Deok Hwa,
but it looks like he mimicked the person after him.
(Who's the next person?)
The next voice mimicry you'll hear is Maeng Gu.
(The next person is Maeng Gu.)
I think he'll suit you better.
Watercolor Painting will mimic Maeng Gu now.
Maeng Gu.
(He makes the gesture.)
The snow falls from the sky.
(He mimics the motion of the snow.)
He did well on this.
(He's proud.)
The snow falls from the sky.
The gesture looks better as he's tall.
- That's right. - It looks good.
He made a gesture, too.
Seung Woo, can you think of anyone?
As for Frozen Dumpling,
I saw his elbow...
and his armpit,
- He's sharp. - and they were so white.
- You've got quick eyes. - At that moment,
I thought of someone I saw a long time ago on TV.
He has a nice voice.
He's Kwon Hae Hyo, an actor.
Are you giving up on this marvellous dish...
all because of losing weight?
Have you lost your mind?
- Excuse me? - Eat it.
(He played the role of a passionate chef in "My Lovely Sam Soon".)
Just eat it.
Right. Kwon Hae Hyo.
- He's a bit... - He recommends the dumplings.
- That's why he recommends food. - Are you after a commercial?
- He recommends the dumpling. - I'm just saying it.
Let's hear from Yoon Seok, the minority opinion.
Every singer in Round One...
has hidden his true singing skill.
Watercolor Painting is the only singer who did his best.
I saw that he does his best.
His tall height...
and the way he sings...
give me a feeling that he's a basketball player.
As for Frozen Dumpling,
I think he can be the king.
Can he?
- Some said that he isn't a singer. - Even he is surprised.
Even Frozen Dumpling is surprised.
I think he sings really well.
Hurray Radio, the current king,
followed the same path and became the king.
His vocalisation is excellent...
and his singing style has a feeling of trot music.
Also, as he dressed as a cook,
when he sang,
he said "boil" instead of "draw".
- He said, "I boiled one by one". - Did he sing it that way?
He knows how to play with a song.
That's what I think. As a conclusion,
Here comes the conclusion.
He's just become defrosted,
he'll warm up in Round Two...
and show us the essence of...
- the extremely hot fried dumpling. - He can even be the king.
- So, I think he is... - Who is he?
Park Hyun Bin.
(He sets fire on people's hearts with hot songs.)
(Is the prince of trot after the throne of the king?)
- He's Hyun Bin. - Yes.
I'll announce the result of the third match...
of Round One.
Watercolor Painting has a manly voice...
while the voice of Frozen Dumpling...
touched our hearts.
Between the two singers,
who will move on to Round Two?
I'll announce the winner...
of this match.
(The winner will be announced now.)
(His singing style is straightforward.)
(Watercolor Painting is a true man who sings.)
(He has a clear, deep voice.)
(Frozen Dumpling's voice is as solid as his stuffing.)
Between the two singers,
the winner of this match...
is...
(King of Mask Singer)
The winner is...
(She mimics the sound of a drum roll.)
Who of these two will move on to Round Two?
Will it be Watercolor Painting or Frozen Dumpling?
The result is...
Between the two singers,
the fourth winner...
who'll move on to Round Two is...
Between Watercolor Painting and Frozen Dumpling,
who will be the winner, Frozen Dumpling or Watercolor Painting?
Please show us the result. Who is the winner?
(Frozen Dumpling is the winner.)
Frozen Dumpling is the winner.
(Frozen Dumpling is the winner.)
It had to be Frozen Dumpling.
(He attracted the male audience...)
(as well as the female audience.)
(Congratulations, Frozen Dumpling.)
With a final score of 69 to 30, Frozen Dumpling...
With a final score of 69 to 30, Frozen Dumpling won...
and moved on to the next round.
Please go back to your waiting room.
Please give him a big hand.
(The identity of Watercolor Painting will be revealed soon.)
(He strides down the stage.)
(Shy)
I will do my best to sing.
Let's go!
Who is he then?
We will reveal his identity with a solo performance...
prepared for Round Two. Please give him a big hand.
(His identity will be revealed during his solo performance.)
He draws a very long breath.
I think he can stay under water for a long time.
- He is good at holding breath. - Right.
I think he is an athlete who uses his arms.
He has muscles in his arms.
He is one of the commentators for the Olympics like Seong Ju.
("Sparks" by Jeon Young Rok)
(This is exciting.)
(Excited)
(He looks like a rough man.)
(He dances to the cheerful rhythm.)
(Dancing together)
(He sings straight out.)
(He sings the song without technical skills.)
(He dances to the song to add more excitement.)
(His cheerful performance...)
(will wash away the summer heat.)
Now, Watercolor Painting on a Rainy Day, please take off your mask...
and reveal your face.
(Screaming)
(What am I going to do?)
He is...
(Who on earth is he?)
- Who is he? - They look very excited.
Let me see his face.
He is...
the crown prince on the basketball court, Woo Ji Won.
(The crown prince is here.)
(Woo Ji Won!)
(I knew it.)
(It's him!)
(She is a big fan of him.)
(Welcome.)
(He won the heart of young girls once.)
(The crown prince on the basketball court is back.)
(Today, he is on the stage instead of a basketball court.)
(He sings with passion.)
(He's rarely seen on TV.)
(It is great to see Ji Won sing on the stage.)
(If you leave me without saying anything)
(My heart will break)
(The crown prince dominates the stage.)
(Woo Ji Won sang "Sparks" as the crown prince on a stage.)
(Bravo!)
(That was amazing.)
Please say hello to those who are watching our programme.
Hello. I'm a former basketball player...
and a sports commentator Woo Ji Won. Nice to meet you.
Woo Ji Won.
He scored. It's a tie.
Woo Ji Won threw a three-pointer.
He scored. Woo Ji Won.
(He is the crown prince on the basketball court.)
(After his retirement, he has gone through...)
(various challenges as an entertainer.)
(He is a man of passion.)
As the crown prince on the basketball court,
he comments on basketball games.
He also works as an entertainer these days.
It is very strange though. You got 30 votes.
I think that's a lot.
I think so. Thank you.
Is there a reason you wanted to sing in King of Mask Singer?
I made an appearance in "Real Men" before.
I sang a song in the programme...
and got an image as a bad singer there.
So I wanted to take this opportunity to show people...
that I am a good singer.
I guess you practised singing a lot.
You have a hoarse throat now.
I've never sung so much like this in my entire life.
By the way, I heard you are debuting as a car racer.
I love driving...
and I am very interested in car racing.
Luckily, I was accepted to join a drift racing team.
So I'd like to try it as a car racer.
(He dreams of becoming a car racer.)
Isn't the driver's seat too small for you?
They had to remodel the car just for me.
Really? They even remodelled the car for you.
Today, he was not just the crown prince in a court.
He was someone who is always challenging for new things.
Please give him a big hand.
(We look forward to your future endeavours as a car racer.)
(You are amazing.)
It's over.
I feel relieved now.
It feels great.
Singing has been like a wall that I can never cross.
For me, singing on a stage was already...
a wonderful accomplishment to me.
It reminded me of the time I played basketball...
on the basketball court with people's cheers.
It's been a long time since I received such hearty cheers.
It was thrilling.
