In the last Final Match,
he sang about love with his passion.
With his powerful high-pitched voice...
and irresistible charms for a wide range of genres,
he became the 36th King of Mask Singer.
His voice makes people's hearts pound.
I'm Excited Hurray Radio.
And today,
he is seeking to continue his winning streak.
Stay tuned for his second successive win.
However,
will he face a crisis because of radio interference?
We will tune the radio frequency to winning.
We have four dark horses challenging the 37th King of Mask Singer.
Lady on Board, Flower Palanquin.
I'm So Yellow Melon.
Mobius Strip.
Frozen Dumpling Has Been Thawed.
According to the online mobile survey,
netizens' expectation for the 37th King of Mask Singer is...
Yellow Melon beat Hurray Radio and got the first position...
while Hurray Radio ranked second by a narrow margin.
His level of elaboration is sublime.
- He must be very famous. - He may be the king today.
Their singing skill exceeds expectations.
Shocking performances threaten the throne.
Will Hurray Radio...
make a second successive victory?
A brutal and unpredictable match...
begins now.
(King of Mask Singer)
This is the first match of Round Two, Semi-Finals.
She beat Yoon Hae Young, the actress.
Her ambition for the throne is unstoppable.
Lady on Board, Flower Palanquin.
(She walks elegantly.)
(Here she comes to Round Two.)
(Welcome, Flower Palanquin.)
She hid her potential last time.
She will reveal it now.
(Her husky voice attracts our ears.)
(Her gesture is full of confidence.)
She is not an amateur.
Her singing skill is highly refined.
There's a singer who had a unique character.
- Who are you talking about? - Do you mean Park Hwayobi?
Right.
- Unlike her, Hwayobi sings R&B. - That's right.
This song is "Genie".
(She shows her version of traditional dance.)
Her dance move is very traditional.
Than's right. You're good.
She's not that eager to be on the show.
I'm desperate to be on the show,
but I have a cramp in the leg.
She's desperate...
but has a cramp in the leg.
(What song would Flower Palanquin,)
(a singer with unique charm have prepared?)
("Scent of You" by Yoo Young Jin)
(Wow.)
(As aromatic as wine...)
(and as sweet as chocolate is her velvety voice of R&B style.)
(Absorbed)
(Her husky voice flows with the rhythm.)
(This song is amazing.)
(Her emotional groove is absorbing in an odd way.)
(Her enchanting voice sounds husky and soft at the same time.)
(It's a sad love song sung in the moment of a break-up.)
(Powerful R&B aura penetrates into our hearts.)
Gosh, she's so soulful.
(She's so soulful.)
She seems like a singer who's been performing in the U.S.
- Wow. - She sings well.
(She's the best.)
(He looks totally immersed.)
(Good gracious.)
(She sings in a sad falsetto which sounds like a cry.)
(Wow.)
(Her excellent ad-lib fills the air.)
(Her "Scent of You" soaked our hearts with R&B sentiment.)
(The excitement still lingers in minds.)
- I loved it. - She was so good.
It was so refreshing.
It was beautiful.
I was so surprised.
- Isn't she great? - She is.
The challenger is...
the singer who defeated Soy, the singer.
His plaintive voice stirs up the protective instinct.
He's I'm So Yellow Melon.
(I'm So Yellow Melon)
(It's a path in the middle of the melon field for a lonely man.)
(Although Grape's left, I'll sing.)
(Even your loneliness looks great.)
- I think I might know him. - I think I know him, but I don't.
I'm looking forward to his performance.
I'm also looking forward to listening to his song.
I remember that his voice was really mellow.
(His voice is as sweet as honey.)
(With sweet romanticism,)
(Yellow Melon has sung such a dreamy song.)
- I'm Yellow Melon raised in Seoul. - He's from Seoul.
He must be young.
He looks so much like an idol in those jeans.
Anybody will think that he's an idol.
- Great. - He did it since he is not an idol.
He's a former idol, a senior for me.
(Is he an idol...)
(or not?)
(The female panellists were enchanted...)
(by his soft and beautiful voice.)
(Yellow Melon's solo stage is much anticipated.)
("Hello" by Huh Gak)
(Gosh.)
(He chose a mournful ballad.)
(In the sweet, whispering voice,)
(his sorrow is hidden.)
He's really good.
(His sad but beautiful emotional delivery...)
(makes us reminisce about our lovers in the past.)
(Unlike the original version, he doesn't shout.)
(His expression of sadness is restrained.)
(The reinterpreted version of "Hello" is emotionally appealing.)
It's a new way of singing this song.
His voice is so beautiful. He has such a nice voice.
(The panellists are immersed in his voice...)
(which is beautiful even when it sounds sad.)
(Sighs)
(House Band)
(He sings so well.)
(Wow.)
(The more you think about the love that left you,)
(the more you miss it.)
(His entire body shakes as he expresses the sad emotions.)
(The love is over now,)
(but he's still not over it.)
(I wish I hadn't known you.)
(The surge of emotions...)
(left the panellists speechless.)
(That was Yellow Melon's reinterpretation of "Hello".)
(The audience is still deeply moved by the song.)
- That was awesome. - You did a great job!
- He's good. - I'm touched.
- He did his best. - He really did.
This is not going to be easy.
This match is a very difficult one.
We watched the first match of Round Two, Semi-finals.
Whose voice do you want to listen again in Round Three?
Whose voice moved your heart more?
The winner of this match will be the first to move on to Final Round.
All votes are in.
Young Seok, tell us what you thought about their performances.
Inside Flower Palanquin, two music genres,
- blues and R&B, coexist. - R&B.
She mixed the two genres in such a unique way...
and gave us a performance that satisfied everyone.
Her voice itself carries a sense of sorrow...
that is not easily found in other people's voices.
It's like getting that last bit of toothpaste when you squeeze...
from a tube that is almost empty. You know?
It's very precious.
- You have to brush your teeth, - It's so precious.
and you must get that last bit out.
Yes, I think I know what you mean.
When I got that feeling from her singing,
I almost shuddered in amazement.
- That's right. - Since she has such a rare voice,
her voice is already worth listening on its own.
On top of that, she possesses outstanding vocal skills,
so how can we not applaud her?
As for Yellow Melon,
his singing is imbued with a sense of loneliness.
I see. You think it sounds lonely.
It's like visiting a school you used to go to 20 years ago,
and feeling lonely standing alone in the empty schoolyard.
- Right. - That lonesome feeling.
It also made me think of the view of the schoolyard at sunset.
It reminded me of those things.
It sounds like you're still immersed in the two singers' voices.
Jang Hyuk, what did you think of their performances?
I'll start with Flower Palanquin.
She has such an impressive nasal voice.
I think she has the most moist nasal cavity in Korea.
I was blown away when she sang the notes in the middle...
in a softer voice, yet keeping the same pitch.
Where was it? Which part?
She sang powerfully like this. "Come back to me"
- Darling - Darling
She did that. Singing softly like that is extremely difficult.
(Even though she was singing softly,)
(the feeling was deeply delivered.)
As soon as I heard that, I thought, "She's extremely experienced."
I was very surprised. She's a very talented and skilled singer.
It sounds like Flower Palanquin is a phenomenal singer.
Yellow Melon sang as though he was talking to us.
When he started uttering what he wanted to say...
in the beginning of the song, I was already blown away.
He didn't sing powerfully, but it still felt like he was...
extracting 110 percent of his energy and using it to sing to us.
Singing quietly like that...
actually requires a lot more energy.
Right.
It was a wonderful performance, and I thoroughly enjoyed it.
He did a great job delivering emotions through his singing.
I see. Hyun Chul, what did you think?
I think they've had at least one vocal cord injury.
- Both of them. - Both of them?
Yes. That's what I'm thinking.
I don't think that's the case for Yellow Melon. Can you tell us?
- Yellow Melon, is it true? - Yellow Melon.
- I think he has. - Let's ask him. Yellow Melon.
I had a surgery.
- He had a surgery. - Oh, my!
- Where? - Hyun Chul was right.
- Your neck? Why? - You got a surgery?
I had vocal cord nodules...
as well as a cyst.
- My goodness. - Hyun Chul's guess was right.
- He's like a human endoscope. - He is.
Gosh, he's impressive.
(I can see your vocal cord.)
Both of them have suffered vocal cord injuries.
Flower Palanquin reminds me of Toni Braxton.
- Toni Braxton. - Toni Braxton.
Who is she?
She's an African-American R&B artist.
- What are her hit songs? - "Unbreak My Heart."
(Toni Braxton is one of the greatest R&B singers...)
(known for her low-toned husky voice.)
- Yes, that's right! - She reminds me of Toni Braxton.
You're right.
As for Yellow Melon, he has a soft, beautiful voice...
- with very rich, deep vibrato. - I see.
There is someone who comes to my mind.
It's the singer who used to be known for his song "Heaven".
- "Heaven!" - I think he's Kim Hyun Sung.
(He is one of the most well-known singers with beautiful voices.)
He also had a vocal cord injury.
- Yes, that's right. - You're wrong.
My strategist gave me valuable information.
Did he again?
My strategist gave me a piece of information,
and I think what he told me is right.
Did your strategist tip you off again?
If I were to choose an English word to describe him, I'd pick "forever".
- Forever. - Forever.
- That's right.
- Is that a hint? - Yes. "Forever."
You'd pick "forever" for Yellow Melon.
- What about her? - "Tu."
- Tu? - Yes. That's all I can say for now.
- Tu! Tu! - Yes, that's right.
- I see. Tu. - I can't say any more.
- Flower Palanquin is "tu". - Yes.
- Yellow Melon is "forever". - Forever. That's right.
I see.
- I think... - Bong Sun, tell us.
This time, I'm thinking...
Is it going to be another bad drama?
No, it's a historical drama this time.
(Once upon a time...)
It's a love story.
A young lady from a noble family...
liked a servant who worked in a yellow melon field.
- I see. - Why would she go to the field?
However, her parents set up an arranged marriage for her.
She's on her way to another village to get married.
She's wearing all sorts of beautiful ornaments,
but she keeps crying inside her flower palanquin.
While watching her leave, the serpent...
- I mean, the servant. - The servant.
Is he the servant?
Yes. He keeps crying...
Yes.
and he takes a bite of a ripe yellow melon.
(That's how he gets over the sadness!)
It's their sad love story.
That's the impression Bong Sun got from their performances.
So does the story end with him eating?
Yes. That's the ending.
- They couldn't be together. - It ends with him eating.
All right.
- Food show is popular these days. - Okay, I heard you.
I had to insert a product placement of the yellow melon.
- That's enough, seriously. - Okay.
- It was funny. - It was a good one.
To help all of you guess who they are,
I'll ask them to show us their specialities.
Flower Palanquin is great at playing the piano.
She can play the piano very quickly.
She will play "Flohwalzer" for us.
Flohwalzer.
("Flohwalzer")
(She's so fast.)
Her fingers are so busy.
(Their jaws dropped.)
(She's so good!)
- She played it so quickly. - Hey.
She didn't make a single mistake.
She did play the piano very quickly.
- She's so fast. - She's really good at it.
It says here that Yellow Melon can imitate the sounds...
of small and medium-sized dogs as well as a dog in the countryside.
(A dog that lives in the countryside)
First, show us a small-sized dog!
(Barking quietly)
A medium-sized dog.
(Barking louder)
Now, a dog in the countryside!
(Howling)
(The dog is barking viciously.)
It's going to make all dogs in the neighbourhood bark.
(That's so right.)
It looks like all of you agree...
with his imitation of the dog in the countryside.
- Can I say something? - Yes.
He used to be very good at mimicking Kim Kyung Ho.
Really? The one whom you're thinking of...
- What if our guess is wrong? - It's him. I'm sure of it.
- Kim Kyung Ho? - Can you imitate Kim Kyung Ho?
Well, I'll try it.
Great. He'll imitate Kim Kyung Ho's voice.
Yes.
(Will Gu Ra's intuition be right?)
(It's Kim Kyung Ho!)
(Unbelievable)
(It sounds just like him.)
(In the distant future, we will)
(He can emulate Kim Kyung Ho's unique vibrato, too.)
- My hunch was right! I knew it. - That was exactly like him.
I know who he is. I know exactly who he is.
- Is he the one you're thinking of? - He is.
- His name means "forever". - All right.
- He got a standing ovation. - He still got it.
All right. Good.
Now, between these two masked singers,
who will be the winner? Let's see the result.
It was a tough match.
(She sang a beautiful R&B song with her sentimental voice.)
(Flower Palanquin has a sentimental husky voice.)
(A pure voice that digs down into your heart)
(Yellow Melon has a beautiful voice that has a strong appeal.)
Who will be the winner of this match?
The winner is...
- The winner is... - The winner is...
(It was great a match between two sensitive vocalists.)
The winner is... I really don't know who will win.
One of them got more votes from the panellists,
but the audience's votes turned the game around.
Who is the winner?
Is it Yellow Melon or Flower Palanquin?
Please show the result. Who is the winner?
(Lady on Board, Flower Palanquin won.)
Flower Palanquin won.
(Surprised)
(She will ride the flower palanquin and move on to Round Three.)
(You won, my lady.)
(Thank you.)
The final score is 54 to 45.
- Flower Palanquin won. - That's disappointing.
Please go back to your waiting room.
All right.
(The identity of Yellow Mellon will be revealed soon.)
She got more votes from the audience.
(She walks down lightly.)
(This is exciting.)
I'm so glad that I get to sing all three songs I prepared.
Who is this lonely guy?
Let's reveal the identity of Yellow Melon.
Please move to the back of the stage.
Who did you mean by "forever"?
Yellow Melon, please take off your mask...
and show us your face.
I can feel his pure soul from his breathing.
- Pure soul. - He has a beautiful voice,
but he uses very deep vibrato.
It's "Growl".
It's popping dance.
I think he used to be an idol singer.
I think he's Kim Hyun Sung.
- In English, it means "forever". - Forever.
Show us your face.
(Who is he?)
(Surprised)
(I can't believe it.)
(They're screaming hard.)
They're surprised. Who is it?
What's wrong?
He must be handsome. Let us see.
He is...
He is the main vocalist of Double S 301,
Heo Young Saeng.
(They're greeting him with hearty cheers.)
Young Saeng.
Many people still don't know how well he sings.
He's really great.
It's Heo Young Saeng.
(Young Saeng means forever.)
That's why you mentioned "forever".
Hello. I'm Heo Young Saeng from SS501 and Double S 301.
It's good to see you.
All right.
(They made a debut in 2005 with the song "Warning".)
(Young Saeng was the main vocalist of SS501.)
(He is a charismatic man with an attractive voice.)
(He released a solo album in 2011 with the title track "Let It Go".)
(He recently made a comeback as a member of Double S 301.)
(Heo Young Saeng, the talented singer)
I heard that ever since our show started,
you've been wanting to be on our show someday.
Yes. I started to watch this show when I was in the army.
I wanted to get myself evaluated...
after finishing my military service.
You could've moved on to Round Three. That's too bad.
- I love rock ballads. - I see.
The song I prepared for Round Three is a rock song.
It's the genre that I love and I'm confident of.
- I'm sorry I didn't get the chance. - That's too bad.
- Well, since he prepared... - Gosh.
- Let him sing. - Let's hear it.
- Since the panellists...
- want to hear it so badly, - Seong Ju.
(He's embarrassed.)
They want to hear it.
- They feel very bad. - Let us hear it.
- Please sing to comfort them. - Okay.
- Okay. Be confident. Let's hear it. - All right.
(Let's hear it.)
("To Her Lover" by K2)
(Amazed)
(With his soft and beautiful voice,)
(he sings each note with sincerity.)
(Mesmerised)
(The deep resonance of his voice...)
(shows his 12 years of experience.)
(He made a debut in 2005 at the age of 20.)
(He was loved by a lot of fans,)
(and he went through hard times as well.)
(Young Saeng has come back with a deeper voice.)
(On the stage that he eagerly awaited,)
(he sings with all his heart.)
("To Her Lover" sung by the singer Young Saeng)
(We'll look forward to your great songs in the future.)
(Everyone's touched by his stage.)
I got goose bumps.
I got goose bumps, too.
Yes. Forever.
(Forever Young Saeng)
I think I broke the bias I had about myself.
More people than I expected...
recognised my voice.
I want to become a singer that expresses...
people's stories and feelings with my songs.
I'll continue to work hard to deliver great music.
Please invite me again someday.
Thank you.
At Round Two,
Lady on Board, Flower Palanquin...
defeated Young Saeng and moved on to Round Three.
It's the second match of Round Two, Semi-finals.
He beat Woo Ji Won...
with a voice that melts your heart.
Frozen Dumpling Has Been Thawed.
(It's completely thawed.)
(Steaming hot)
(We're looking forward to your great stage.)
- I'm so curious about him. - He makes me most curious.
- I don't know who he is. - That's right.
Is he a musical actor?
(He has a thick and powerful voice.)
At first, we thought he was an opera singer.
He sounds more like he is performing for a play.
- I think he's a voice actor or... - Voice actor.
Maybe he's a news anchor at MBC.
(Old-fashioned dancing)
He's a cheerful person.
That's right.
(Old-fashioned skill)
What is this?
What is he doing?
He acts like a middle-aged man,
but I think it's intentional.
- He's doing it on purpose. - On purpose?
- I think he's Park Hyun Bin. - Park Hyun Bin.
(Frozen Dumpling seems like a middle-aged man, but he may not be.)
(Who is he?)
("Mother" by Tae Jin A)
(What is this song?)
- It's "Mother". - "Mother".
People on the old side would choose that song.
Not many people sing a trot song on the programme.
(How will Frozen Dumpling sing "Mother"?)
(Wow!)
(Unlike in Round One, his voice is deep and throaty.)
(He has great singing skills.)
(His voice betrays years of experience.)
(It's a mellow performance of "Mother".)
(Dumbfounded)
I did not see that coming.
My goodness.
(Who could he be?)
(It's a song for someone who has worked hard all her life,)
(my pitiful mother.)
(The one I miss the most in the world, mother)
(Even if I call her a thousand times,)
(I cannot help but cry.)
(He gave a sincere performance of "Mother".)
Mother!
(Frozen Dumpling's love for his mother could be felt.)
- That was incredible. - I did not see that coming.
- How sad! - I feel the same way.
We must be old since we cried to this song.
How strange!
I feel very strange.
I did not think he would sing like that.
Opposing him...
is a man who beat Jeong Jin Woon.
He is an enchanting vocalist with unfathomable skills,
Mobius Strip!
(Mobius Strip)
(I invite you to the world of Mobius Strip.)
(Welcome.)
I am so excited to hear him sing.
- He is the best. - He really is.
(He has a mystical voice and a powerful singing style.)
(With charisma that commands the stage,)
(Mobius Strip played with the audience's hearts.)
I thought, "I hit the jackpot."
He has a solid foundation.
His voice did not waver once.
I think he sang rock music.
He is someone I admire a lot.
He is known for his talents.
- I think he is a member of Yada. - Yada.
(With a cute and charming dance,)
(Mobius Strip showed an unexpected and lovely side.)
(Everyone is unsure of his identity.)
(His identity is a mystery like the Mobius strip.)
(Will he proceed to Final Round?)
(Which winning move will Mobius Strip show?)
("I Am a Man" by Kim Jang Hoon)
What is this song?
("I Am a Man" by Kim Jang Hoon)
It's "I Am a Man".
(I like this song.)
(Shouting)
(Dancing)
(Compared to Round One, he gives off a stronger scent of man.)
(Mobius Strip's voice touches the audience's hearts...)
(and makes them remember the past love.)
(Even if I am not by your side,)
(live a good life.)
(Mobius Strip's sad and intense shout)
(This is the best.)
(Wow!)
(Singing)
(He is so cool.)
(He is incredible.)
(Who is he?)
(He sends his unspoken story with the wind.)
(With a tear-soaked voice,)
(he gives the saddest goodbye in the world.)
(The deepest part of the heart...)
(is touched by his delicate voice.)
(Wind)
(He makes the last request to the wind.)
(He is more earnest than ever...)
(and more desperate than anyone.)
(It is a goodbye to his love.)
(Amazed)
(His falsetto is soulful.)
(Wow!)
(My goodness.)
(My love, it's time to say goodbye.)
(He makes everyone listen with bated breath.)
(Mobius Strip's "I Am a Man" emitted the scent of man.)
(He is a cool man.)
Bravo.
This is so difficult.
How can I choose one?
Who should I choose?
- I can't do that. - I know.
The second match of Round Two is over.
Whose voice do you want to hear once again?
Frozen Dumpling Has Been Thawed is number one.
Mobius Strip is number two.
Which one of them will win and move on...
to Round Three, Final Round?
All votes are in.
Jang Hyuk, can you comment on their performances?
Frozen Dumpling looked like as if he sang under a waterfall.
(Singing under a waterfall)
(Waterfalls are the best place to warm up your voice.)
- He showed a new skill. - A new skill?
He pronounced the same vowels continuously without breathing in.
(Mother, now)
Only a person...
with large lung capacity and great sensitivity can do that.
And he just did it.
- He did it. - Frozen Dumpling showed that.
- I couldn't help but admire that. - He has large breathing capacity.
I think he was very confident about it.
I really enjoyed your performance.
It was like as if he sang under a waterfall.
Meanwhile, Mobius Strip showed his refined stage manners.
He also has a good sense of rhythm.
When you sing in a low voice with loud music,
it is not easy to sing in tune.
But he sang perfectly in tune.
Singing with a sure ear for pitch,
he showed the height of precision.
All things considered, I'm sure he is a musician...
who has a comprehensive understanding of music.
He showed a wonderful performance today.
I'm just saying this in admiration.
I didn't mean to evaluate his performance.
Thank you very much.
When Mobius Strip sang in Round One,
I said that I'd found a wild ginseng which means I hit the jackpot.
Now I'm even more sure he is a wild ginseng, indeed.
I've never seen a singer who can show...
such diverse charms in a song by implication.
And he even showed his good sense of rhythm in the second verse.
(He showed a good sense of rhythm.)
(It made everyone dance.)
He is not Mobius Strip. We should call him Scallop.
(What does he mean?)
Scallop?
He made...
(He ponders.)
everyone's heart pound.
(He made everyone's heart pound.)
He totally made that up.
He made that up.
- He made people's hearts pound... - He'd better improvise.
- with his great sense of rhythm. - I think he made that up at home.
It is absurd.
How was Frozen Dumpling?
His performance made us...
reverent and solemn.
He didn't sound like singing a pop song.
I think it had a different emotional resonance.
He sounded like an opera singer in Round One,
but he sounds like a gukak singer now.
- A gukak singer? - I totally agree.
And he just sang about a mother.
What?
It means he really wants to win this round.
In fact, it is difficult to make Gu Ra give a standing ovation.
But he did it twice today.
It reminded me of many things.
The song "I Am a Man" was released in the early 2000.
I tried to empathise with the song.
In the early 2000, I was a man...
who was tough and full of male hormone.
But now, I'm in my mid 40s.
My body produces a lot of female hormones.
- You are getting older. - Yes.
I think the LED screen expressed a lot of things.
It showed a resplendent life of a man in his early 30s.
Then he suffers a lot of hardship and complications.
Eventually, he overcomes all the hardships...
and burns with passion for life.
I believe it showed a man's life...
- by implication. - You thought about many things.
I guess it touched the men's hearts here.
Dong Geun, how did you like it?
It was an honour to see such great performances.
Frozen Dumpling sang a traditional song like pansori.
In the last part, he called mother like this.
(Mother)
(He was absorbed in the song.)
I was absorbed in the song.
I think he is a great singer.
I learned a lot from him today.
Thank you very much.
He means Frozen Dumpling sang very well in the way of his own.
I want to take back what I said about him.
You said he could be the chef Lee Yeon Bok...
- last week. - I'm sorry that I said that.
Now I'm sure he is a pansori singer.
I think we appeared on the same TV programme before.
Okay. Many panellists are saying that...
he sounds like as if he practised singing under a waterfall.
Now he wants to show...
how to warm up his voice making three different chicken sounds.
That's good.
He makes a chicken sound to warm up his voice.
- He must be good at it. - First,
he will make a hen sound.
(Flapping)
(Making a hen sound)
He is good at it.
He just sounds like a hen.
That was nice.
- It was amazing. - It is a hen.
It was a hen. How does a rooster sound?
He will make a rooster sound.
(Making a rooster sound)
- It sounds the same. - That was even better.
- It sounds different. - The rooster sound is better.
- They sound different. - Nobody can do that.
Now he's making a chick sound.
(Making a chick sound)
It just sounds like a chick.
- Frozen Dumpling. - He is so good at it.
Can you mimic a hen and a rooster having a conversation?
(Okay.)
- He says okay. - There is nothing he can't do.
A conversation between a hen and a rooster.
What are they talking about?
The rooster slept out last night.
- He did. - So the hen...
is questioning the rooster closely...
about where he went last night.
And the chick is trying...
to stop the fight.
It is a happy ending.
I see. It is what is happening.
Let's hear the conversation then.
(How could you sleep out last night?)
(Whimpering)
(I went to a funeral. I'm sorry.)
(Mum, Dad, please stop fighting.)
(It is fun.)
That was fun.
I think I've heard that before.
- That was so nice. - It sounded familiar.
He is good at it.
It is Mobius Strip's turn.
He will mimic Lee Sun Gyun singing the national anthem.
Please show us Lee Sun Gyun singing the national anthem.
(Warming up his voice)
(Until the East Sea and Mount Baekdu)
One Vongole.
(He sounds the same.)
Hurry up.
Okay. That was good. Now he is mimicking...
Yoon Min Su groaning.
(Breathing in)
(When I gave her everything)
(Groaning)
(She left me)
That's it. It was Yoon Min Su groaning.
Yoon Min Su must be happy to hear that.
Right. That was Yoon Min Su.
The last one is Jeon Do Yeon speaking through the nose.
Seong Tae.
What?
Seong Tae.
(Can Mobius Strip mimic her unique way of speaking?)
Jeon Do Yeon speaking through the nose.
(Warming up his voice)
Seong Tae. Goo Seong Tae. I'm Jeon Do Yeon.
She is Jeon Do Yeon.
That's it.
No matter who moves on to the next round,
he will become the King of Mask Singer, I think.
You mean one of them will become...
- the King of Mask Singer. - I think so.
Strategist Yu.
- Seung Woo. - Do you have any idea?
I agree with Kang Nam.
Mobius Strip showed the dynamics of the song very well.
He caught my ear at the beginning and then I got goose bumps later.
He sang perfectly in tune and beat.
He even has a good stage manner. He is good at everything.
I think he is a well-balanced singer.
I'd like to hear a minority opinion from Yoon Seok.
When Frozen Dumpling sang in Round One,
I said he would be the King of Mask Singer...
and everyone laughed at me. They didn't agree.
They said he was just a cook.
- He's right. - After watching...
his second performance, they changed their mind.
Some even say that he will be the King of Mask Singer.
I believe he is going up to the throne today.
Frozen Dumpling.
I'm sure about it.
I'll now reveal the winner...
of the second match in Round Two.
As you expected,
they were nip-and-tuck in this match.
What about our votes?
The votes of entertainer panellists...
were 6 to 6.
- Oh, my gosh. - They are neck-and-neck.
Who did the rest of the panellists vote for them?
I'll now reveal the winner...
of this unpredictable match.
(It is about to be revealed.)
(A mournful voice that touches people's hearts)
(A man of sensitivity with deep sorrow)
(His performance left an emotional resonance in people's minds.)
(With a good sense of rhythm and an attractive voice,)
(he gave off his passion and energy on the stage.)
The winner who will move on to Round Three...
is...
- The winner is... - The winner is...
I'm so nervous. Why does this make me so nervous?
I've never been this much nervous before.
(What's the result of this real match with no script...)
(that we can't bear to see?)
Between Mobius Strip and Frozen Dumpling, the winner is...
Show us the result.
(Mobius Strip is the winner.)
Mobius Strip is the winner.
(Screaming)
(The supporters of Mobius Strip cheer...)
(while the supporters of Frozen Dumpling mourn.)
(Sadness and happiness coexist at this moment.)
This can't be happening.
Mobius Strip has defeated Frozen Dumpling.
(The margin is 15 votes.)
- It was 57 to 42. - Gosh.
It was 57 to 42.
Congratulations for moving on to Final Round.
Please go back to your waiting room.
(He leaves to prepare for Round Three, Final Round.)
Give him a big hand, please.
The shocking identity of Frozen Dumpling will be revealed soon.
(He did his best.)
I kept thinking it'd be grateful if I could make it to Round Three.
I wanted to sing the song I prepared for Round Three so much.
(See you all in Round Three.)
Now, we'll find out who Frozen Dumpling is.
Let's find out who he is.
Frozen Dumpling, please come to the back of the stage...
and get ready.
Now, Frozen Dumpling, take off your mask...
and reveal your identity.
When he started to sing, we thought that he was an opera singer.
The more I listen to him, the more I think that he's a musical actor.
He trained singing under a waterfall.
- His song even sounds like gugak. - Gugak.
(He perfectly mimics the crow of a rooster.)
It sounds the same.
(Who is this unique and charming character?)
Now, Frozen Dumpling, please take off your mask...
and reveal your face.
(Oh, my gosh.)
- Gosh, why are you so surprised? - Is he an actor?
He's the master pansori singer who represents Korea,
Nam Sang Il.
(Nice to meet you.)
(Wow.)
(Agape with surprise)
He's the master pansori singer of Korea.
(You're the best.)
Nam Sang Il was...
Frozen Dumpling.
You are incredible.
Hello, I'm a gugak musician Nam Sang Il. Nice to meet you.
(He's the youngest pansori singer to enter National Changguk Company.)
(He possesses both the technique and the talent.)
(Nam Sang Il is the master pansori singer of Korea.)
He started to learn and sing gugak...
since he was four years old.
Actually, he's not that old. Am I right?
- I'm 38 years old. - He's 38 years old.
That's because he started to sing when he was four years old.
You are just one year older than me.
That's right.
That's a bias.
People think that all gugak musicians are old...
and would eat only cheonggukjang, doenjang jjigae and kimchi jjigae.
- Yes. - They are biases.
Some people even think that I ride a palanquin.
(Oh, my goodness.)
You all know this song well.
My good friend
MBC Munhwa Broadcasting Corporation
- Gugak is everywhere, - This is great. It's totally new.
but people think that it's music only for special people.
Right, we all have biases...
towards gugak and we'll have to redress this issue.
- I'd love to listen to his pansori. - Me, too.
I believe that it would be great.
Sing to us just a bit, please.
Come here I'll give you a piggyback ride
Love love love You are my love
Love You are my love
Smile at me Let me see your teeth
Maybe you are my love
(It's great.)
(The audience is immersed in the charm of pansori.)
- I'm so surprised. - Now you know the pansori's charm.
He didn't breathe while he was singing.
- He didn't breathe. - That's right.
You take such a deep breath.
The melody that he sang just now...
is the melody that have always lived in our hearts.
- Because we are Korean, - Because we are Korean.
I believe that we felt its charm even more.
To show us the charm of gugak,
he courageously took off his hanbok and faced a new challenge.
He was Nam Sang Il, the best pansori singer in Korea.
Please give him a round of applause.
(We would like to hear more gugak now.)
(Relieved)
I told myself to sing songs in pansori style...
because I'm a gugak musician. That's a bias I had.
I even sing the national anthem like pansori.
This is the first time I sang songs not like a pansori.
Surprisingly, it was fine.
I hope that you could think that even a gugak musician like me...
can be a cheerful and funny person.
I hope that's how you felt.
Mobius Strip defeated Nam Sang Il and moved on to Round Three.
The mysterious music show, King of Mask Singer.
It's the last step towards Final Match.
We're about to begin Final Round.
Let me bring the last two singers on stage.
Please welcome them with a big hand.
(They are the last two singers,)
(Flower Palanquin and Mobius Strip.)
Final Round is a match...
between a female singer and a male singer.
(Only one will be chosen to go up.)
We have Flower Palanquin and Mobius Strip.
Let me ask how it feels to be in Final Round.
We will start from Flower Palanquin.
I'm very...
grateful.
She's cute, really cute.
You are grateful.
I can sing the song I prepared,
and that makes me so happy.
Is it okay for you to sing the song you've prepared...
and lose?
Well, I don't know.
She's not sure.
That's another matter, right?
(I didn't mean to say that.)
Mobius Strip, how do you feel to be in Final Round?
I feel really nice.
I received so many compliments I don't deserve...
- that I feel so full. - You're full.
- Thank you. - You heard those compliments...
because you have both charm and talent.
Thank you.
(He acts cutely.)
(Seong Ju is baffled.)
Okay.
(His lovely gesture surprises the panellist.)
He's acting cute.
You have a cute side.
I didn't know.
- If you win this round, - Yes.
you may have the chance of taking the throne.
- Right. - Frankly, don't you want the spot?
I always like gold.
- You like gold. - I do.
I came this far with a silver mask.
Now, I want gold.
(Surprised)
I'm envy you so much.
If you become the king,
we'll change the silver strip into a gold strip.
(I feel so good.)
- Do your best. - Oh, yes.
(He's ingenuous.)
(Are you that happy?)
Mobius Strip, if you have something to tell the king,
say it now.
In Round Three, I'll sing every note...
with all my heart.
Let us hear that.
(When everyone thought he was finished...)
Well,
good luck to you.
(What did you say?)
The king doesn't know what he cheers for.
Good luck to you, too.
Good luck to you.
Good luck to you, too.
(Laughing)
Go, king.
(Mobius Strip plays the king at his will.)
Why are you coercing the king?
- Good luck. - Yes.
(Let's cheer up, king.)
(Okay, let's cheer up.)
(Their relationship is heartwarming.)
They are so cute.
(Let's make Final Round...)
(beautiful together.)
(Good luck to both of you.)
Okay, then.
Let's begin Final Round, Round Three.
We'll enjoy Flower Palanquin's performance first.
(She's got a blow.)
(What would she have prepared this time?)
- Go, Flower Palanquin. - Go, Flower Palanquin.
- I wonder what genre she picked. - I'm so excited.
(Will Flower Palanquin overcome the last obstacle...)
(and go up to compete against the king?)
("A Guy Like Me" by Lim Chang Jung)
What song is this?
It's Lim Chang Jung's song, right.
(Amazing)
Here she goes.
(She starts singing like she is talking.)
(She expresses the heart-wrenching emotions after a breakup...)
(through her deep, husky voice.)
(The harder you try to forget your past love,)
(the more you remember it.)
(The sad emotions slowly fill up the auditorium.)
It's truly heart-wrenching.
It's so sad.
- Isn't she so charming? - She's truly charming.
(My heart is aching.)
(Oh, my.)
(She even misses his voice.)
(Traces of their love haven't been erased completely.)
(She portrays the moment of a breakup through her rich emotions.)
(As the song progresses, we can feel more depth of the despair.)
(His words at the final moment)
(It is utterly heartbreaking.)
(The wound he left in her heart hasn't been healed yet.)
(The breakup will be engraved in her heart like an unremovable scar.)
(She expressed the depth of the painful scar with her voice.)
(All panellists are still deeply immersed in her performance.)
She's seriously charming.
Her voice deeply touched my heart.
That was really amazing.
Now, let's meet her opponent.
He beat the singer Jeong Jin Woon and the gukak musician Nam Sang Il.
The vocalist who keeps on running towards his goal at full speed.
Mobius Strip!
(He walks in determination.)
I'm so excited. I'm a huge fan of Mobius Strip.
I think this performance will be a phenomenal one.
I'm dying to know which song he'll sing.
Which song will he sing for us?
I'd love to hear him singing a ballad.
(Everyone is dying to find out which song he has chosen.)
(Will he surpass Flower Palanquin with his song?)
("Sad Beatrice" by Cho Yong Pil)
- Oh, my. - How marvellous!
This song...
(He chose the legendary singer Cho Yong Pil's sad love song.)
(Imbued with sorrow, his voice longs for eternal love.)
(It is his ardent wish as well as the reason that he lives.)
(Love is like an island of hope.)
(His rich emotions describe the journey for his destiny.)
(He's honestly the best.)
(The love that was as short as one midsummer night's dream.)
(Love is like a wall of despair.)
(Love is like a river of betrayal.)
(The tragedy of sad love!)
(Love is an island of hope...)
(and a wall of despair at the same time!)
(Love is an immortal ray of light.)
(Love is like our destiny that bridles us.)
(Love never dies.)
(All panellists are astonished and mesmerised by his singing.)
(His performance is making everyone's heart ache.)
(It was a song about the eternality of love.)
(He's so good.)
Impressive! You're the best!
Oh, my.
(Everyone keeps on applauding.)
- Who is that man, seriously? - It was amazing.
I'm still immersed in the song.
He's so good.
- What was that? - He's very good.
- Why are you getting angry? - Isn't he so good?
He is really amazing.
We've watched all performances for Round Three, Final Round.
Hurray Radio is here to take his second win,
and the winner of this match will be competing against him.
Now, you have to choose the final contestant between these two.
Who will be the rival of Hurray Radio?
All votes are in.
Hurray Radio is sitting at the back.
What did you think of their performances?
Both of them...
deserve to be on Round Three.
As for Flower Palanquin,
- her singing was the most soulful. - I see.
Meanwhile, Mobius Strip presented...
a drama from start to end within one song...
so beautifully. He's an amazing singer.
All right. Which of them do you prefer as your rival?
Personally,
I wish none of them will be my rival.
Right, but one of them has to be your rival.
I see.
Do you feel differently now that...
you've seen their stage?
It made me more nervous.
I'm blazing up with the thought that I should do my best.
I see. Good.
Now, Hurray Radio will get ready for his performance.
Please give him a big round of applause.
(We'll look forward to your great stage.)
What did you think, Young Seok?
Since I'm here as a panellist,
I was try to find their flaws, although their singing was great.
- You were looking for their flaws. - Yes.
It was so hard to find.
Flower Palanquin sounded like Amy Winehouse.
Amy Winehouse?
Yes.
(Amy Winehouse is a British singer-songwriter.)
She's a charming singer who has her own vivid colour.
I see.
(She painted the heartbreaking scene of parting...)
(with her own unique colour.)
Every time she sings,
it feels like her voice is piercing my heart.
There is no way...
I can fully describe how it felt.
It was a stage that had a strong resonance.
(Stage that had a strong resonance)
Did you find any flaws in Mobius Strip's singing?
It was even harder to find his flaws.
- Is that so? - He singing...
was so clear.
- I referred to him as a scallop. - Yes.
He was a rockfish this time.
- A rockfish? - Why is that?
What can he mean this time?
It feels like an acrostic poem.
Does it stand for "our lucky star"?
His singing was graceful and luxurious.
Graceful and luxurious.
- To shorten it, it's a rockfish. - Okay.
He was flawless.
One thing I'm sure about is...
that Mobius Strip is an all-around musician.
He has a potential that makes me look forward to his future.
Right. "Sad Beatrice" has lyrics that...
define how sad love is.
They have a significant meaning.
Mobius Strip didn't make a single mistake,
and he sang it just like the original song.
(Love is eternal, an undying light)
(He restrained his emotions even at the climax.)
I'm sure he has a composing ability.
Then why did he sing it like that?
I think he felt the need to sing it that way.
He held it in when he could have gone higher.
He held it in, and stopped.
I really loved it.
(Thank you.)
What about you, Jang Hyuk?
As I listened to Flower Palanquin's unique voice, I was picturing...
a little bird with a wounded heart...
singing about how it got hurt.
(A bird with a wounded heart perched on her shoulder.)
Her singing healed the audience's wounded hearts.
(The bird flies away with its wound healed.)
(Gosh.)
As for Mobius Strip, we studied "Mathematics' Standard Practice"...
- back in high school, right? - That's right.
He didn't use any special techniques.
He freely sang in a nasal voice, a head voice...
and a chest voice. He showed the standard practice of singing.
He was confident that...
even if he sang in a standard way,
he could express his feelings.
- It was a great stage. - I see.
Mobius Strip sounded like he was singing gagok.
When a song is really sad, it can bring tears to your eyes.
I think he restrained his feelings unbelievably.
You should calm yourself down before listening to his song.
I see.
- "Restrain feelings unbelievably." - "Restrain feelings unbelievably."
It's like lighting up the candles on a birthday cake and not eating it.
- It's an amazing ability. - He manages...
- to blow out the candles and go. - That's right.
- It's hard not to eat the cake. - Yes.
- I fell in love... - Yes, Kang Nam.
with Mobius Strip.
I don't know who he is,
but if he holds a concert,
I'll go there with my mum.
- With your mum? - Yes.
My mum loves that kind of music.
- I see. - I wish he'll win Final Match,
but it will also be good if he loses and holds a concert.
- I can't make up my mind. - Okay.
I really want to see his face.
- What about Flower Palanquin? - Flower Palanquin.
- She's a very cute lady. - Yes.
- She laughs like this. - She laughs cutely.
That's my type of a girl,
but when she started to sing, she had a strong aura and charisma.
She's an amazing artist.
I hope she becomes the king,
but I want to see her face, too.
I don't know what I should wish for.
If she's around my age, I will ask her phone number.
- If she's around your age. - Yes.
Gosh. It's...
- My heart is fluttering. - Your heart is fluttering.
Good. Now, I will announce...
- the result... - Who is the winner?
of Final Round.
Lady on Board, Flower Palanquin sounded like a veteran singer,
while Mobius Strip showed his boundless charms as a vocalist.
Between these two masked singers, who will move on...
to the 37th Final Match? I'll reveal the result now.
(A sorrowful voice with deep sentiment)
(Flower Palanquin's rich sensibility strikes your heart.)
(He has a powerful voice that you can feel with your entire body.)
(Mobius Strip, a charming singer, knows how to restrain his feelings.)
Who will win this match...
and become the rival of Hurray Radio?
The winner is...
- The winner is... - The winner is...
(It's a cliff-hanging moment.)
The winner is...
Would Hurray Radio's opponent...
be a female or male vocalist?
Who will move on to Final Match...
between Flower Palanquin and Mobius Strip?
The winner is...
(Mobius Strip won.)
Mobius Strip won.
(Let's go, Mobius Strip.)
Gosh, it's Mobius Strip.
(They're surprised.)
I knew it.
(Gu Ra is disappointed that Flower Palanquin lost.)
Mobius Strip is the winner.
The score is 73 to 26.
You will move on to Final Match.
Please go back to your waiting room.
(The identity of Flower Palanquin will be revealed soon.)
I do want to be...
the King of Mask Singer.
I want to have the golden mask.
(Wait for me, Hurray Radio.)
Now, she has such a great voice.
Who can she be?
Let's find out who Flower Palanquin is.
Please move to the back of the stage.
Now, Flower Palanquin, please take off your mask,
and reveal your face.
Her voice carries a sense of sorrow that is not easily found in others.
She has the most moist nasal cavity.
She's a female singer that has a whimsical character.
- You know her, right? - Who?
- Hwayobi? - That's right.
She sounded like Amy Winehouse.
I wrote down Damien Rice's name.
She reminded me of Toni Braxton.
Toni Braxton.
Please take off your mask, and reveal your face.
(Oh, my.)
(Welcome.)
- They all know her. - They know her.
They know who she is.
She is...
the unrivalled soulful vocalist,
- Hwayobi. - Hello.
It was her.
(He guessed it right but still can't believe it.)
- It was her. - It's Hwayobi.
(It was Hwayobi.)
(Yoon Seok looks so happy.)
It's Hwayobi.
(They finally know who Flower Palanquin is.)
What should I do? My face is turning red.
(She's cute.)
Please say hello to the viewers.
Hello. I'm Hwayobi.
(She laughs cutely.)
(She debuted in 2000 at the age of 19.)
(She's the queen of R&B with 17 years of experience.)
(She made big hits with songs like "Lie" and "How Are You".)
(She became popular with her soulful singing.)
(With her eccentric charms)
You are so scary.
(She took over the variety shows.)
(She is a singer who will be relevant even after 10 years.)
(The talented vocalist, Hwayobi)
Wearing the mask made my face flush.
Do I look like Anpanman?
No, you don't.
Hwayobi, it has been a while since we saw your performance.
- Yes. - I heard that...
you wanted to visit King of Mask Singer...
and show a new musical style.
Really?
(Laughing)
- I didn't say that. - Don't put words in her mouth.
I wouldn't call it a new musical style.
On music programmes, you can only sing title songs.
It's always like that.
Singing R&B and blues songs on King of Mask Singer...
was fun.
My goodness.
You haven't changed at all.
Why are you annoyed?
I am not annoyed.
I like you, Hwayobi.
- You are right in front of me. - I like you a lot.
Despite sitting right in front of me,
- he was... - Hwayoni likes me...
- and I like Hwayobi. - Do I?
Yes.
Hwayobi likes me.
(Hwayobi takes Gu Ra down.)
I like Hwayobi.
She is fun to be around.
She has great singing skills.
She is the only singer in Korea...
(The only singer in Korea?)
who laughs while she sings her own song.
(She laughs while she sings her own song.)
You never know when she will start laughing.
You never know.
That's Hwayobi.
Among her reasons for visiting King of Mask Singer...
are her parents.
Even though I debuted 16 years ago,
none of the family members use my song for the ringtone.
That's why...
I decided to stop being stubborn...
and appear in a programme everyone loves.
Doesn't thinking about your parents make you tear up?
- Should I tear up? - No.
(She is so funny.)
I am sorry.
Tears won't come since they are alive and well.
Many people wonder if Hwayobi's eccentricities...
are forced.
She has always been like that.
I bet she will still be like that in her 60s.
The cute behaviours she shows from time to time...
are truly lovely.
I am grateful that she visited the programme.
You are welcome.
While she is usually carefree,
Hwayobi becomes focused...
when she sings.
With her charming voice and sentimentality, the queen of R&B...
touched our hearts.
- Please give Hwayobi a big hand. - Thank you.
Hwayobi!
(Hwayobi is the best.)
(Toddling)
(How cute!)
(She descends the stage with a bright expression.)
My heart feels light.
Thank you so much.
I had fun.
People think of me...
as the textbook balladeer.
However, I feel the happiest when I sing soulful R&B songs.
The wait, going up the stage,
hearing the intro and finishing up the performance...
made me happy.
(Everything about today made me happy.)
Mum and Grandma.
Grandma's ringtone is Mariah Carey's song...
and Mum's ringtone switches between jazz songs.
My album will be released soon, so set my song as the ringtone.
Bye.
In Round Three,
Mobius Strip beat Hwayobi and moved on to Final Match.
The mysterious music show, King of Mask Singer.
I'm Excited Hurray Radio will give a performance to defend the throne.
Which song will he sing to take his second win?
This is Final Match to decide on the 37th King of Mask Singer.
Let's check out the performance by the king.
(The performance starts now.)
This is Final Match to decide on the 37th King of Mask Singer.
His popularity is on the rise.
He is the impressive vocalist and the 36th King of Mask Singer,
I'm Excited Hurray Radio.
(I'm Excited Hurray Radio)
(He marches down the corridor.)
(I'm Excited Hurray Radio makes an entrance.)
(Welcome, Hurray Radio.)
Hurray Radio.
He is cool.
Seung Woo, you didn't hear his performance last week, right?
(He is the best.)
(Wow.)
(Today, he is wearing...)
(a bright blue blazer.)
(He is cool.)
- His mask is cool. - Is that his original mask?
It looks cooler now that he is the king.
He looks dignified.
He is impressive.
(Hurray Radio quietly takes the stage.)
(The panellists are nervous, too.)
(Mobius Strip is a strong opponent received a lot of love.)
(Will Hurray Radio perform well under the pressure?)
I am excited.
("Footsteps" by Emerald Castle)
(His voice has a heartbreaking resonance.)
(Wow.)
(When the loved one left,)
(emptiness and wound remained.)
(The one who is left behind must endure the heartbreak.)
(The cruel agony surges.)
(The desperate performance is like a knife to the heart.)
(The panellists give him a standing ovation.)
My goodness.
This is amazing.
(What should I do?)
(House Band)
(He must be angry at his love...)
(to go through another day.)
(He must forget to survive,)
(but he wants hold on to the memories of love.)
(It's cruel agony.)
(It's a performance of "Footsteps" whose life suffers from heartbreak.)
(The audience applauds and cheers.)
That was crazy!
(Crying)
- What are you doing? - I'm so sad.
It feels like my heart is all worn out.
(They are fascinated by his heartbreaking cry.)
- Isn't it amazing? - It was.
(Everyone seems to lose their mind.)
Final Match is over.
It is time to make a choice.
Mobius Strip is number one.
I'm Excited Hurray Radio is number two.
Who do you want to choose...
as the King of Mask Singer?
All votes are in.
Please say hello to each other. Attention. Bow.
They showed great performances today.
(It was the best.)
No matter...
who wins, he deserves it.
They are both great singers. Hyun Chul looked very impressed.
I'm Excited Hurray Radio sang...
"Footsteps" by Emerald Castle.
It showed the sensibility of men.
I loved it very much.
He knows...
when the audience is immersed in emotion,
when the song reaches its climax...
and when it gets loose.
He sang the song knowing all of this.
I was surprised to see that.
It means he wants to stay on the throne.
His outfit has been...
completely changed. I think he's wearing a jacket.
I think he bought the jacket to stay on the throne.
Does a jacket mean that?
He realised a T-shirt wasn't fit for a king.
- That's why he's wearing a jacket. - He will stay on the throne anyway.
- That's why he's all dressed up. - He bought the jacket himself.
His selection of music was so good.
He said things like, "I don't care about you." and...
"I will get over you."
But he can't just leave her. I really enjoyed it.
It was tremendously sad.
So,
it reminded me of a drama again.
- Did it happen again? - Why do you keep doing that?
No. Listen.
Both Yellow Melon and Flower Palanquin lost.
Let me tell you what it is.
There was a man who fell in love with a woman.
(A man found a woman to share his life with.)
And he told his mother about this woman.
"Mother. I'm in love with someone."
(He introduced her to his mother.)
- We are here. - Come on in.
But the mother drops the teacups.
Why?
- It turns out... - It turns out?
she was his sister.
- She was his sister. - It is ridiculous.
(They are a lovely couple.)
She is your sister.
(It is a sad love story.)
(She keeps making up bad dramas.)
- Stop it. - No.
Just say that she is my high school alumna.
(That's horrible, too.)
But isn't it interesting?
I'm blushing up to the ears. Stop it.
- It does sound interesting. - The rating will be very high.
Okay. That sounds interesting.
- One thing for sure is that... - Okay.
he makes me want to sing.
Watching him sing is not enough.
He makes me want to share the feelings.
(He made all the panellists...)
(and audience sing along with him.)
(A singer with irresistible charms)
I'm still feeling the thrill from his performance.
His performance is addictive. I want to watch it over and over again.
Okay. She says his voice is addictive.
- Young Seok, you look happy. - I just look that way.
- Aren't you happy? - I'm sad that someone will lose.
I see.
I'd like to thank him though.
He is the King of Mask Singer now,
but he just sang as if it was the last performance...
of his life.
As if it was his last chance.
I'd like to thank him for his passion.
I think Hurray Radio's strength is that...
he knows how to mix...
rock songs, pop songs and Korean songs.
I believe that's why he became the King of Mask Singer.
People want to feel sorrow...
when they listen to a rock song.
And they want the intensity...
when they listen to a mournful song.
I think he knows how to mix all the elements in a song.
He is good at moving people's hearts.
I dare say that...
he is the best in the Northeast Asia.
Is he the best in the Northeast Asia?
Why would you limit it to the Northeast Asia?
That's because I'm not sure about the Southeast Asia.
- In Korea, China and Japan? - He's the best in those countries.
He is the best singer in Korea, China and Japan.
Jang Hyuk?
I think it is all about endurance.
Singing a rock ballad song...
requires a high level of endurance...
because you have to sing high-pitched tones for a long time.
Let's say there are two levels of high notes.
Most singers would get exhausted after singing the second level.
They'd sing the high notes at the end.
But he sang higher notes once again.
And he sang even higher notes at the end.
(After singing the climax notes, he must have been exhausted.)
(That was nice.)
(One more time!)
(Oh, my gosh.)
(With his passion for music,)
(he used up all of his energy.)
(Totally blown away)
I think...
he sang the song with all his might.
I think his endurance...
is the best in the Northeast Asia as well.
It was amazing. I'm very envious of your endurance.
Okay. Jang Hyuk praised his great endurance.
(The most passionate stage)
Okay. Gu Ra?
He sang in low voice in the first verse.
And he sang powerfully in high notes.
He is good enough to be the King of Mask Singer for a long time.
- Is he good enough for that? - Yes.
But I voted for Mobius Strip.
- Really? - What do you mean?
You think Hurray Radio is good but you voted for his opponent.
He will be there for a long time.
It just doesn't add up.
He voted for Mobius Strip...
even though he thought Hurray Radio will be the King of Mask Singer.
You are saying it is a different matter.
It is just my opinion.
It is the neatest answer ever.
"It is just my opinion."
- He just says what he wants to say. - I can't argue with that.
Dong Geun, how did you like it?
I didn't know...
he'd sing this song.
It was impressive. I enjoyed it.
Both of them showed great performances today.
I didn't know whom to choose.
So I voted for Mobius Strip.
What are you talking about?
What are you trying to say?
It is spreading like a zombie.
It's like a zombie.
He just praised Hurray Radio but voted for Mobius Strip.
He is like Gu Ra.
- His words just don't add up. - Did I sound like him?
You sounded just like him.
- That was weird. - Why would you say that?
Hurray Radio looks very embarrassed.
- It is just my opinion. - It is.
(It is only two votes.)
Okay. Yoo A.
Speaking of their voices,
who do you like better?
Hurray Radio was...
- like the sun. - The sun?
It was like the sunlight was blazing down on me.
People can't live without the sun.
It felt that way.
A shiver went through me.
As for Mobius Strip,
I want to hear his voice again. I can't help but wonder...
what song he will sing next time. In fact, I voted for Mobius Strip.
- It is like a zombie. - It's spread to her.
She just said he was like the sun.
What is going on?
Hurray Radio looks very flustered.
Everyone praises him but they voted for his opponent.
They all voted for Mobius Strip.
He looks confused.
Seung Woo, you've been busy...
as Gu Ra's strategist the whole day.
How did you like Hurray Radio's performance?
Is there any song he can't sing well?
I think he can sing any song in any register.
I think he is the best rock ballad singer...
I've ever seen in my whole life.
In other words,
his voice is refreshing like soda.
I voted for Mobius Strip, though.
What's wrong with him?
What is happening?
- I'm sorry. - It happened again.
The young panellists are so tricky.
To be honest, I know who he is because I'm a big fan of his.
There are many legendary videos of him singing.
I can watch them later.
- You can watch the videos. - This is weird.
That was what was behind his action.
It's not easy to become the King of Mask Singer.
I was very surprised.
Hurray Radio's performance felt like this.
It's like an international baseball match between Korea and Japan.
It is the bottom of the ninth with two outs.
And it feels like he just hit a walk-off home run.
It was very touching.
Lastly, I'd like to listen to a minority opinion...
from Yoon Seok now.
It is interesting that...
I think I saw the mask...
on a cassette player long time ago.
- It is for repeated playback. - That's right.
It never stops no matter how long it has been playing.
No matter how many songs he sings, his voice never changes.
He's like a CD player.
Meanwhile, Hurray Radio was like a live radio show.
It's like a live show for just one time.
They are totally different. It is a matter of taste.
Civilization versus wildness.
Cooked food versus raw food.
CD versus live music.
Left brain versus right brain. Baseball versus football.
I will leave the rest to your imagination.
It is a matter of taste.
(He explains that it is a matter of taste.)
(That was a great idea.)
Okay. Now...
The mysterious music show, King of Mask Singer.
It's Final Round to be the 37th King of Mask Singer.
Whom did your unbiased mind prefer?
I'll announce the 37th King of Mask Singer now.
(With a dreamlike voice,)
(he quickly captivated the panellist in Round One.)
(Then, he transformed into a masculine man...)
(and showed off his powerful voice in Round Two.)
(When he sang "Sad Beatrice" by Cho Yong Pil,)
(he interpreted the song to perfection.)
(In Round Three, he showed the ultimate beauty of moderation.)
(His painful cry impales our hearts.)
(He expresses emotions...)
(with a magical voice which makes you want to sing along...)
(and sings with deep passion.)
(He fills every moment with thrill. Where's his limit?)
Between the two singers, who will be the 37th king...
chosen by you?
The winner is...
- The winner is... - The winner is...
(Give us the result now.)
The winner is...
(Give us the result.)
I don't know. I don't have a clue.
(I'm still not used to this.)
(Will Hurray Radio tune in again?)
(Or will Mobius Strip start the endless play?)
(Who's going to be the 37th King of Mask Singer?)
Show us.
Who is it? Show us.
The winner is...
Who will be the winner?
Will Hurray Radio win again?
Or will we have a new king?
Who's the singer you've chosen...
to be the 37th King of Mask Singer?
Who is it? Show us.
The winner is...
Who is it? Show us.
The winner is...
(Hurray Radio successfully defended his throne.)
Hurray Radio has won.
(Set up your aerials...)
(and tune in the frequency.)
I knew it.
I knew that he'd win.
Radio is the best when heard live.
Hurray Radio is the winner.
It was 59 to 40.
With a margin of 19 votes, Hurray Radio became the winner...
and 37th King of Mask Singer.
You will have the golden mask again.
Give him a big hand.
(I envy you.)
Today's match was really close.
I'd like a few words from you.
I'm so happy,
but I also feel that I'll have to try harder.
I'll come back with a great performance. Thank you.
Great.
Hurray Radio is the 37th king.
For security reasons, you'll have to leave...
right after your march.
Please start marching.
(Today's performance was touching.)
Hurray Radio managed to secure...
the throne of 37th King of Mask Singer.
(He leaves with a trot.)
I'd like to set my mind to prepare a great performance for next week.
I will do my best.
Cheers.
Before you take off the mask, I'll give you a chance to speak.
I feel good.
That's nice.
(Mobius Strip is a large-hearted man.)
Don't you feel sorry?
I feel sorry,
but I also feel good.
Why do you feel good when you've lost?
Today, I think I've heard the most compliments...
in my life.
That's why I feel so good.
All right.
Let's find out who he is.
Please come to the back of the stage.
(By the way, who is he?)
Now, Mobius Strip, please take off your mask...
and reveal your face.
I think he's a musician...
with overall knowledge about music.
He could have sung higher notes,
but he restrained himself.
He's elegant and luxurious.
I think he's in a band.
I'm sure that he's a rock musician.
Please take off your mask and reveal your face.
He competed against the king in the last round.
(He's here.)
He must be famous.
They are totally surprised.
Won't they faint?
Who is he?
Listen.
He is...
(He is...)
Lee Won Suk, a vocalist from Daybreak...
whose songs like "Love Actually" and "Good" are widely loved.
Nice to meet you.
(Welcome, Lee Won Suk.)
I recognise him.
Was he Won Suk?
(I recognise him now.)
This is amazing.
He sings songs that are different genres.
(Daybreak is one of the most famous indie bands in Korea.)
(The band is known for cheerful and light music.)
(The vocalist of the famous band that sells out on every concert...)
(was Mobius Strip.)
I heard that you've decided to be on this show for a special reason.
First of all, The One sang our song...
in the show.
- That's right. - He beat me with the song.
Also, Dong Geun sitting there sang the song I wrote and composed.
You sang the song "Shout of Myself".
- Was that your song? - Yes.
- I made that song. - The song Maya sang.
- That's the song. - "Shout of Myself" by Maya.
He wrote the song for Maya.
Daybreak as a band...
sings very bright and cheerful songs.
I wanted to show you...
we don't only sing that kind of songs.
When I decided to be on the show,
- I began searching the internet. - Yes.
When I was searching, I saw a comment...
saying that I won't make it.
Why did he say that?
Because I can't sing ballads.
Because you can't sing ballads.
That made me want to show people my new aspects.
- You wanted to challenge. - Yes.
(He challenged ballad today.)
I love you.
With a powerful voice and emotional performances,
Lee Won Suk left a strong impression...
about the band Daybreak and himself.
Please give him a round of applause.
Thank you.
(We look forward to listening to your amazing music.)
(He looks so relieved.)
It's over.
It was so close.
I feel sorry. I really do.
But I feel so great...
and unreal...
as if I'm dreaming.
I've sung as much as I wanted to.
It was so fun.
Thank you.
