Last week,
this woman took the throne with the emotions hotter than the sun.
Bulgwang-dong Gasoline became the 35th King of Mask Singer.
(Bulgwang-dong Gasoline)
(Yes!)
(She is amazing.)
With the unbiased music,
we will quench your thirst of emotion.
I am your unbiased show host, Kim Seong Ju.
(I am your unbiased show host, Kim Seong Ju.)
(Past Kings of Mask Singer join the panellists today.)
Many amazing singers have joined us today.
To be honest,
the show wouldn't have been as successful as now if it...
weren't for these artists' efforts.
That's right.
First of all, I would like to introduce Kim Heung Kook.
- President Kim Heung Kook. - It's good to be here.
She was the first King of Mask Singer.
Two Cans of Gold Lacquer, Luna!
- Luna. - Luna.
(The 1st and 2nd King of Mask Singer)
- It's Luna of f(x). - Hello.
(Two Cans of Gold Lacquer, Luna of f(x))
I am Gold Lacquer, Luna of f(x).
It's good to have you here.
We cannot talk about this show without mentioning this man.
Music Commander in My Town took the throne nine consecutive times.
It's Ha Hyun Woo of Guckkasten.
Ha Hyun Woo.
Hello, I am Ha Hyun Woo of Guckkasten.
Welcome.
(Music Commander in My Town, Ha Hyun Woo of Guckkasten)
He showed amazing performances as Music Commander in My Town.
How does it feel to join the panellists?
It feels strange.
I used to...
have a view from the opposite side.
So, sitting here makes my heart flutter.
My heart used to beat faster in the mornings...
of the days I had shoots.
And today, my heart beat fast again, even though I wasn't going to sing.
The next person put an end to Music Commander's winning streak.
Not only did he do that,
but he also sang a song by IU.
(He is the man who said "My goodness" on the stage.)
His performance of "Good Day" caused a controversy.
It's Job Seeker's Dream Come True, The One.
The One.
(Job Seeker's Dream Come True, The One)
(My goodness, he is cute.)
Let me introduce the next guest.
She's the mother of all fun.
- You Go to Hawaii, Hong Ji Min. - Hong Ji Min.
That's right. She was Hawaii.
- Yes. That's her signature gesture. - Right.
- It's Hong Ji Min. - She was Hawaii.
She made that gesture to Gu Ra many times.
I think it's been a year since she was here.
Now, she defeated Hawaii.
- Write Love with Pencil, Sonya - It's Sonya.
- Hello, I'm Sonya. - It's nice to see you.
(Write Love with Pencil, Sonya)
(I'm excited.)
A lot of former Kings of Mask Singer have visited us today.
I think...
the current King of Mask Singer feels a lot of pressure.
I came to the studio...
and found many former Kings of Mask Singer.
I'll absorb their good energy and show you...
an even more explosive stage.
- Okay. Please give her a big hand. - Yes.
The current King of Mask Singer said she will show us an explosive stage.
Now, who will be the next King of Mask Singer that...
former Kings of Mask Singer would approve?
This is the prelude of...
the journey to finding the next King of Mask Singer.
Let's begin Round One, the duet song match.
Let me introduce the first team.
(King of Mask Singer)
The first match of Round One.
Let's hold hands, cross the wall...
and aim for the King of Mask Singer.
1988 Olympics Mascot Hodori.
(1988 Olympics Mascot Hodori)
Let's hold hands
I will crumble the wall inside your heart.
(It's nice to see you, Hodori.)
- He's cute. - He's so adorable.
His opponent has...
the lucky voice that will bring him victory.
Rio Olympics Mascot Vinicius.
(Rio Olympics Mascot Vinicius)
The new mascot of King of Mask Singer is going to be...
Vinicius!
(He takes the pose that symbolises confidence.)
- Is that Brazil's mascot? - He walks like a man.
- He's a man. - He's a man.
(The masked singers have appeared on stage.)
Hodori looks a bit...
He's muscular.
Vinicius is as dark as me.
Is he a hip-hop musician? He's moving like one.
- They must be nervous. - This is the most nervous moment.
This is when I took 5 or 6 deep breaths.
What should I do? I'm nervous.
(Two masked singers stand in front of former Kings of Mask Singer.)
(The tension is building up.)
(What kind of match will...)
(these two Olympics mascots show us?)
("Love Leaves Its Scent" by Tei)
(He perks up his ears.)
(Wow)
(A mellow voice that reminds us of Tei...)
(is hidden behind his cute mask.)
(Who is it?)
(Hodori has a clear and sweet voice.)
(He sings in a relaxed and stable R&B singing style.)
(Hodori's voice sounds very sophisticated.)
Wow.
- I think he's a singer. - I think so.
(This is nice.)
(Is Hodori a professional singer?)
(Hodori sounds mature, right?)
(His understated expression of feeling proves he's experienced.)
(On the other hand, Vinicius's voice is fresh and young.)
(Amazed)
(He sounds soft most of the times, )
(but he can be powerful as well.)
(He's a singer.)
(His fascinating voice hits your ear.)
(Hodori skilfully performs on stage.)
(He expresses the pain with his whisper.)
(Vinicius crys the sad farewell.)
(A heart-breaking song of farewell by two men)
(A beautiful combination of different characters)
I love his voice.
Their voices sound familiar.
- That's the beauty of this show. - Right.
Now, the two masked singers will...
say hello to the viewers.
Hello.
I'm 1988 Olympics Mascot...
- Hodori. - All right.
He's Hodori, the mascot of 1988 Olympics.
Hello. I'm Rio Olympics Mascot...
- Vinicius. - Okay.
He's the mascot of the Rio Olympics,
Vinicius.
The former Kings of Mask Singer are watching.
It must put a lot of pressure on today's masked singers.
- The performance felt like... - Yes.
A kindergarten talent show.
It's like inviting the parents to see the children's performance.
Since the former Kings of Mask Singer are here,
- they must feel very nervous. - That's right.
We also have the father of music industry who went missing.
They must feel pressured.
What are you talking about? I didn't go missing.
Your singing ability went missing.
- His singing ability left home? - It left home.
I'm a better singer than your son.
Goodness. You're being childish.
- What should we do? - All right.
Now, I wonder what Young Seok thought of their stage.
This match was between...
a professional singer and a non-professional singer.
You think one of them is a singer, and the other one is not.
Yes. I think Hodori is...
He picked the name of 1988 Olympics mascot.
Also, his singing style was popular...
when I was active in the industry.
- It was popular in 80s and 90s. - Yes.
- Hodori looks disappointed. - Maybe I'm wrong.
- You're saying you like his voice. - That's right.
He sang very well.
Vinicius is someone who...
knows how to sing...
- economically. - What do you mean by that?
What I mean is while he doesn't use many...
techniques or virtuosity,
it still sounded...
- like it wasn't missing anything. - You didn't feel it was empty.
- That's right. - I actually...
- want to take a guess. - Someone on your mind already?
I think Hodori has,
as Young Seok mentioned,
some connection with 1988.
I think he might live in Jamsil.
- Wow. - That's what I think.
Seoul Sports Complex is the symbol of 1988 Olympics.
That's right. Also, I noticed...
that he had a very nice voice.
Yet, he chose to...
wear the mask of Vinicius.
It means he's going to go to Rio de Janeiro.
- For the Olympics? - I think...
he's one of the sportscasters of MBC.
When Seong Ju was coming out, I saw him...
whispering something to Vinicius.
Did I?
(After the duet match)
(He shoots a glance and whispers something.)
(Was he whispering something to Vinicius?)
I saw you muttering something as you came out.
- Okay. - They must know each other.
Also, he has the typical height of newscasters.
There is no such thing as typical height of newscasters.
- He has the height of a newscaster. - Are you saying we're short?
- Listen. - All right.
In my opinion, since we need to promote the Olympics now,
I think he could be a sportscaster.
You have a point.
I'm curious to hear what Hyun Woo thought of their performance.
I also think...
Hodori is someone who was active around 1988.
- It's because... - That's what you think.
I noticed him counting the rhythm earlier,
and he was doing it in the way that Jun In Kwon usually does it.
(Moving his hand)
(Could this mean he's older?)
You think he should be around Deulgukhwa's age.
- I see. - Yes, Deulgukhwa.
- From the hand gesture. - I just got a feeling.
- Pardon me? - Yes.
- I just got an inkling. - You did? Tell us, The One.
I'm convinced that Hodori used to practise taekwondo.
- You think he used to do taekwondo. - Look at his body.
Even if you practise taekwondo a lot, when you get older,
- your belly sticks out a bit. - Right.
You think he looks like an old taekwondo instructor?
He definitely practised taekwondo when he was younger.
After reaching the age of late 30s, the level of male hormones...
- in men drop drastically. - Yes.
You can only use a limited amount of energy in a day.
That's probably why he danced like that.
I'm sure he was doing head banging and other things inside his head,
but in reality, he could only move his hands like that.
(He only moved his hand due to his age.)
I actually ran into him in the hallway earlier,
- and I growled at him for fun. - I see.
When you do that, the other person usually growls back at you.
(Growling powerlessly)
That's what he did.
That sounds so weak.
On the other hand, Vinicius's skin that is revealed...
- Right here. - Yes, it's tanned.
I think his skin looks young.
- You think his skin looks young? - Yes.
I think that he's in his early 30s.
- Early 30s. - I also think he's an actor...
who appears in TV dramas.
I actually thought the opposite. I think he's a singer.
- You think he's a singer? - It's because...
people who have a lot of experience with performing in front...
of the audience move their hand like that.
The chairman of Korea Singers Association here...
can't sing very well,
- but he has a good ear. - Right.
He's the chairman of the association after all.
He still has a good ear. Is he a singer or not?
- Chairman, tell us. - Yes.
To me, he looks like...
a captain of a cheerleading squad.
A captain of a cheerleading squad.
He's not a member of the association?
- No, he's not. - I see.
Let's say that he turns out to be a member of the association...
when his identity is revealed.
- Goodness. - Can his membership fee be waived?
That'd be so cool!
(Pondering)
The association is struggling financially.
- But if he is... - So, he has to pay the fee.
Actually a member of the association,
then I'll waive his membership fee for one year.
- For one year. - Yes.
However, he doesn't think he's one of the members.
Hearing that could've hurt his feelings a little.
Are you upset?
Hold on. He could be pretty old.
- Is he older than me? - He could be.
- It's possible. - Did I hurt your feelings?
(No, I'm having fun.)
All right. So far,
what we've been hearing the most is about how old he might be.
Hodori is standing here looking all sad.
He looks unhappy about you people jumping to conclusions,
so we'll let him flaunt his special talent now.
Hodori's speciality is...
imitating Michael Jackson's dance.
- It'll be really cool. - He's old.
- He's certainly old. - You think so?
Let's take a look at his dance...
and try to guess his age again.
Music, please!
(Bouncing)
(That looks rather peculiar.)
(Is he irresistibly charming?)
He must be very old.
- That's it! - He's really old.
Great!
His moves look so disciplined. Yes, the moonwalk.
(Wriggling)
(That was just a warm-up.)
Good.
(He walks backwards and does a kick.)
You need to spin the sangmo hat now.
That's right.
(Is this supposed to be an energy-circulating exercise?)
That's enough. We'll stop there.
That's good. Please come back here.
He must be older than me.
Don't you think so?
If he's a comedian, he could be Lim Ha Ryong's peer.
If he's a singer, he should be around Jeon Young Rok's age.
So you're saying he should be over 60.
Yes, he must be over 60 years old.
When he was doing the dance earlier,
I noticed that his belly and his hips were moving together.
I'm sorry to say this, but Yoo Hyun Sang came to my mind.
Yoo Hyun Sang!
(The middle-aged man who is still as passionate as ever)
(The legendary rock musician Yoo Hyun Sang?)
Yoo Hyun Sang!
- I saw a bit of resemblance. - Did he actually do taekwondo?
Do you want to know if he's actually good at taekwondo?
I hold a third degree in taekwondo.
I see. Then could you show us your taekwondo kick?
- Right here? - Show us!
- It's too tight here. - Come down.
Ji Min will show us.
Don't you have to take off your high heels?
- Don't you have to take them off? - Will you be okay with them?
- Oh, my! - She wasn't lying.
(This is a piece of cake.)
She definitely wasn't lying.
Can you also do the turning kick?
Do you want us to do that?
- Sure. - Do that with your hand for her.
Taekwondo is included in Rio 2016 Olympics...
as one of the disciplines.
(She does a split.)
Right, that's it.
- Gosh, she's so impressive. - She's very enthusiastic.
Hodori looks very anxious at the moment.
It's okay. I know you can do it.
Ji Min will show us.
- A third degree holder! - I can feel her weight.
Show us the turning kick!
- Oh, my! - She is a third degree holder.
That was awesome.
That was very impressive.
She gave birth recently.
If you practise taekwondo, you must be able to do kicks like that.
She is a third degree holder, indeed.
Now, let's see how good Hodori is.
I'll raise my hand for you. How high? Will this be good?
Is this good?
- You could get hurt. - Is this better?
- He's just wearing that uniform. - This height.
- Okay, that's good. - His moves seem disciplined though.
He said this height is good. Hodori, let's go!
Great. Show us!
(As everyone wishes, )
(will he overcome the stress of being on the spot...)
(and show us a great kick?)
(Let's go, Hodori!)
(He failed.)
(What was that?)
Goodness.
"I can do it."
"I can definitely do it,"
"but I can't show it."
That looked like a skit.
He doesn't want to blow his cover.
- I think he's an old comedian. - He's trying to hold back...
- to conceal his identity. - It felt like a skit.
All right. While we're on the topic of taekwondo,
I must tell you that he is actually a taekwondo master.
Yes.
It says here that he can smash wooden boards.
- But... - Is this true?
- Can he do it in that costume? - With those feet?
- Will you be able to do it?
He can do it with those feet?
He only has three toes.
You can do it with those feet?
- He can? - That's impressive.
Great. He'll smash wooden boards with his kick.
I'll hold it like this.
(He sets the height of the boards first.)
- Look at his muscles. - About this high?
- Look at those muscles! - Oh, my.
(Will he succeed?)
(Smashing)
(He succeeds in one shot.)
(Impressed)
(I did it!)
Good job, Vinicius!
- He's not a news anchor. - Do you think he's...
- an athlete? - He's an athlete.
Now, I will announce the result...
of the first match of Round One.
The result is very shocking.
The difference in the number of votes these two received...
was only five.
It was definitely a nip-and-tuck match.
Who is the winner of this match that won your hearts?
We'll reveal the result now!
(With his R&B style singing that shows his level of experience, )
(Hodori deeply touched the panellists' hearts.)
(With his unexaggerated, authentic voice, )
(Vinicius gently touched our senses.)
Let's find out which one of them will move on to Round Two.
The winner is...
My goodness!
This is so nerve-racking.
(Everyone's eyes are widened.)
(The difference of five votes will change their fate.)
(The winner is...)
Will it be Hodori or Vinicius?
Show us the result. Who is the winner?
Hodori won!
Hodori won.
(It's Hodori!)
(Hodori did it!)
- Hodori deserves to win. - Nice!
(Hodori takes his first win.)
Hodori won.
It was neck and neck. The difference of five votes...
made him beat Vinicius.
Congratulations. Please return to the waiting room.
Let's give him a big hand!
(Vinicius' identity will be revealed shortly.)
(He is deeply moved.)
I'm happy, but I can't believe it at the same time.
(I'm moving on to Round Two!)
Let's watch his solo performance which he prepared for Round Two...
and find out who he really is.
Please give it up for Vinicius!
While he doesn't use many techniques or virtuosity,
it still sounded like it wasn't missing anything.
I noticed that he had a very nice voice.
I think he's one of the sportscasters of MBC.
People who have a lot of experience with performing in front...
of the audience move their hand like that.
- If he's actually a member, - Yes.
Then I'll waive his membership fee for one year.
I guess he is an actor...
in his early 30s.
("Sunset Glow" by Lee Moon Sae)
It's "Sunset Glow".
(They get excited from the beginning.)
(Pricking up his ears)
He has a sweet voice.
(With a sweet tone...)
(and a gentle voice, )
(Vinicius feasts the panellists' ears.)
(I love his voice.)
(His voice sounds peaceful...)
(and thrilling at the same time.)
(This man enjoys his performance on the stage.)
(Who could Vinicius be?)
(He is about to take off his mask.)
Now, Vinicius, please take off your mask...
and reveal your face.
(Please take off your mask.)
(Who are you?)
- Who is he? - He is...
Please take off your mask and reveal your face.
He is...
the MBC announcer Lee Sung Bae.
(Oh, my gosh!)
(Cheering)
I told you.
I knew it.
(It is unbelievable.)
Is he an announcer?
I told you he'd be an announcer.
(Gu Ra's answer hit the mark.)
He is Lee Sung Bae.
(He delivers the news...)
(with his comforting and friendly voice.)
I love his voice.
(He is amazing.)
He is a good singer.
(He is good at singing as well as delivering the news.)
(Now people realise that he is a very talented person.)
(He knows how to enjoy music on the stage.)
Sing together!
(The studio is filled with excitement.)
(A moment when everyone comes together)
Sing together like a red sunset glow!
(He delivers hope like the cheering.)
(He is a great announcer, Lee Sung Bae.)
Thank you.
(His performance is full of passion.)
(Bravo!)
I told you he is my type of man.
I like him.
Please say hello to those who are watching our programme.
I host the programme, "Live, This Morning".
I want to be the idol of housewives.
I'm the MBC announcer, Lee Sung Bae. Nice to meet you.
Lee Sung Bae!
Hello, everyone. Today is March 15, Friday.
It is MBC Afternoon News.
With pleasure, I will do it.
Hello, I'm Lee Sung Bae.
(He is also active in many variety shows.)
Octagon cap
I'm Lee Sung Bae. Salute.
You are going to Rio De Janeiro for the Olympics, aren't you?
Which sports will you be broadcasting?
- Judo, Taekwondo, - Judo, Taekwondo,
- fencing... - fencing...
- and archery. - And archery.
I will be broadcasting those four events.
(He will be broadcasting four events of the Olympics.)
We saw that you are actually good at taekwondo.
Seong Ju will be broadcasting football and golf.
- That's right. - As the top two commentators,
we will host the opening and closing ceremony each.
I hope you will enjoy the Olympic games on MBC.
Me, too. By the way, I heard that...
you decided to appear in our programme because of me.
Right. I think it is time to change the system of King of Mask Singer.
- That's a good idea. - Maybe I should host the programme.
That's why I'm here.
Can you try this then?
The mysterious music show, King of Mask Singer.
Seong Ju, that's too easy.
I want him to try "The winner is".
- It'd be better. - You think? I do it in a high tone.
- I want to see him saying it. - The winner is...
- I say it in a very high tone. - He should try it.
- Let's do it like a battle. - Let's do that.
- Let's do it for real. - We should press the button.
- Let's do it. - I'm ready to press the button.
Let's try it.
I can see whom you vote for.
I want you to be careful.
Okay. Press number 1 for Seong Ju and number 2 for Sung Bae.
- Get ready to press the button. - This is fun.
Good. I will go first.
Who could be the winner of this match?
The winner is...
He's trying even harder.

Who will be the winner moving on to the next round?
The winner is...
Sung Bae is good.
He is good at this.
- Why did you do it so well? - I tried my best.
It seems Sung Bae has been waiting for the right moment.
- Seong Ju. - Please put away any prejudice.
(Seong Ju feels nervous.)
Please press the button.
Kim Seong Ju is number 1 and Lee Sung Bae is number 2.
Put away all prejudice and press the button.
This is what Sung Bae intended.
I will wait and see who you vote for.
Who do you think will be the better host of King of Mask Singer?
Vote for a person you prefer.
- I should choose a voice I prefer. - That's right.
A voice you want to hear again next week.
Vote for the voice you prefer.
Kim Seong Ju is number 1 and Lee Sung Bae is number 2.
I like you both but I chose the one I prefer.
I see.
Bong Sun, you should vote for me.
You have to vote for me.
You are the one who always...
ignores Bong Sun's opinion.
Don't you think?
- I want revenge. - I won't ignore your opinion.
- Really? - Of course not.
- I will look forward to it. - Okay.
Are you done pressing your button?
Why are they trying to avoid eye contact with me?
Did you press the button?
Can we see the result now? Is it ready yet?
Gosh. I'm so nervous.
You look very nervous.
Okay.
(It's time to announce the result.)
I know this is nothing.
I'll now reveal the winner of...
- this match. - This match.
Please show the result. Who is the winner?
Who is the winner? Please show the result.
Who is the winner? Who is it?
Who is the winner of this match?
Kim Seong Ju or Lee Sung Bae?
Whose voice do they want to hear again next week? Show the result.
Who is the winner?
Show us the result.
Please. It has to be me.
Please.
(Lee Sung Bae wins.)
- I knew it. - I love you.
We won't see Seong Ju next week.
The new host of King of Mask Singer...
- will be me, Lee Sung Bae. - I knew it.
- Seong Ju. - Okay.
- It's time to leave the stage. - Congratulations.
Congratulations.
Please go back to your waiting room.
Return to your waiting room...
and go home.
Shin Bong Sun, Lee Yoon Seok, Kim Hyun Chul,
The One, Kim Gu Ra and Luna.
Sonya.
You shouldn't say that.
You won't get to talk a lot today.
Let me say one thing.
Sonya next to me is making a fuss.
- What's wrong? - She said "He is my type of man.",
- and "Look at his muscles." - Is she talking about him?
I saw his muscular arms while he sang.
That's when it started.
(Are they destined to meet?)
"He has the same skin colour with me."
- "He has dark skin like me." - We have something in common.
Even the skin colour is the same.
- I'm sorry. - Sung Bae was in "Real Men", too.
He is active in many variety shows.
Is there a reason for this?
There is a person who would be watching me on TV now.
He is my five-year-old son. I came here because of him.
Sonya, I have a five-year-old son.
I'm sorry.
(She makes a polite apology.)
I'm sorry.
It's okay.
I want to show him that I do my best in everything.
I want him to see me giving my best effort even for singing.
So I decided to appear in this show. Thank you for your attention.
I will try harder from now on.
(I will try harder from now on.)
He showed his new charms today.
I believe we could see his true potential.
Please give him a round of applause.
Thank you.
We will see you in the Olympics.
(We will look forward to seeing your running commentary on the games.)
I feel good.
Above all, as I got the position for the next season of the show,
I think it was worth...
performing on the stage.
I'll go home now.
(See you in the next season of the show.)
According to the result of Round One,
1988 Olympics Mascot Hodori defeated Lee Sung Bae...
and advanced to Round Two.
The second match of Round One has begun.
His love serenade connects hearts.
Herdsman Raises Cows.
(I love only my lady.)
I'll make my song resound in the galaxy.
(Singing)
(Handsome Herdsman)
(He is so handsome.)
- His gesture is... - Very gentle.
He must be handsome.
Don't you think his face will look exactly like the mask?
(She agrees with him.)
The challenger has...
a voice like the milky way in the sky.
Weaver Maiden Weaves Cloth.
(Weaver Maiden Weaves Cloth)
(Wait for me, Herdsman.)
I'm sorry, Herdsman.
I'll be the king.
I'm so sorry.
(She's on her way to Herdsman.)
(She's pretty.)
(- I missed you. - Me, too.)
(Let us love each other.)
- Both of them are gorgeous. - They look so pretty.
(They are a pitiful couple in a book as they can meet only once a year.)
(But they have to compete against one another today.)
("Lying on the Sea" by The Treble Clef)
(Herdsman sings the first bar with a husky voice.)
I love that.
(She got goosebumps.)
(Weaver Maiden's attractive voice captivates the listeners.)
(Her voice is like a sad cry of a lonely bird.)
(House Band)
(It's so exciting.)
(The stage makes the singers...)
(and the listeners...)
(joyous and merry.)
(Let's have fun together.)
(Herdsman's coolness that resembles the deep ocean...)
(meets Weaver Maiden's cosiness which is like a soft cloud.)
(Who are they?)
(Her voice is so nice.)
(Herdsman has a powerful voice...)
(and very passionate.)
- They sing so well. - They sing too well.
They are really fantastic.
(Dancing)
(I'll lie on the sea.)
(Let's go to the sea.)
(It's so exciting.)
(Herdsman and Weaver Maiden meets...)
(to deliver happy energy.)
(Who on earth are they?)
(Go, Weaver Maiden.)
(They are not so much competing...)
(as creating a fantastic harmony.)
(The performance felt like...)
(a musical the lovers put on together.)
(It was a healing moment.)
- Wow. - Oh, gosh.
They must be doing a musical together now.
They seem like musical performers.
Their voices are so charming, right?
- They must be idols. - Right.
He must be an idol.
The second match of Round One's duet competition has ended.
Say hello to the viewers, please.
Hello, I'm Herdsman Raises Cows.
Hello, Herdsman.
- He dressed as a herdsman. - He's patting the back of a cow.
He mimics the gesture of patting a cow.
Hello, nice to meet you.
I'm Weaver Maiden Weaves Cloth.
Yes.
- She's Weaver Maiden... - Weaver Maiden.
Who weaves cloth.
Jang Hyuk, could you tell us something?
It's been a long time since Ha Hyun Woo...
that I hear a voice with an open nasal cavity.
Many singers who are well-loved by lots of people...
- have a very developed nasal voice. - Is that so?
I'm sure that he is...
- a professional singer. - He's a professional.
- Herdsman, you mean. - As to Weaver Maiden,
her face is very small...
and her figure is well-balanced.
She must be beautiful.
When she began to sing,
I felt that her singing style is...
a bit like gugak, minyo or vocal music.
She sings very well...
but makes plenty of gestures whilst singing.
That's why I thought she may be a beautiful actress.
- Right. - Wait,
Herdsman and Weaver Maiden are supposed to be lovers...
who meet once a year on a bridge made of birds.
Their names, Herdsman and Weaver Maiden,
ironically suggest that they are in the same industry.
Although they meet often on musical stages,
they came up with something like this...
in the name of a tale.
(They came up with this stage.)
That's what I figured.
- They work together. - Right.
- Is he Herdsman? - He is.
Although I'm the president of Korea Singers Association,
he sings so well...
that I want to sign him up for our association.
He might have already signed up.
Singers like him...
should get a name and be loved. He sings very well.
He may be more famous than you.
He may be a person about whom you might not have to worry.
Try singing "Swallowtail Butterfly" and show me how famous you are.
What do you mean?
Let's hear from Young Seok.
This song was originally...
led by a female singer.
But this time,
I felt that Herdsman is the singer...
who led this song.
His voice is...
as flexible and resilient...
as the tip of a willow tree's twig.
His voice is like the tip of a willow tree's twig.
His flexible voice bounced back.
As to Weaver Maiden,
I liked her vocal music style in the beginning.
She has such a comfortable voice.
Herdsman's voice was resilient,
whereas her voice had warmth...
that covered Herdsman's voice...
like the green leaves.
Hyun Chul, has your vocal cord analysis been finalised?
As to Herdsman,
I think...
he's been singing rock music for a very long time.
- He sang rock for a long time. - His note...
is limitless.
He can sing even higher notes.
- His vocal range is very wide. - That's right.
As to Weaver Maiden,
she either majored in...
or studied vocal music...
and sings trot music.
The sparkles come to rest.
(Isn't this a singing style for trot music?)
There can be many trot singers,
even though I don't know them,
who are tall and have small faces...
like her.
There is one singer.
- I know since I'm the president. - Is there a trot singer...
who majored in vocal music?
There are Yu Ji Na, Suh Joo Kyung and Kim Soo Hee.
- You really are the president. - Thank you.
We narrowed the list down to three singers.
The experts' opinion helped to narrow down the list.
Now, we'll hear...
- their real voice. - Wow.
Herdsman prepared...
a vocal mimicry with his real voice.
He'll mimic Ha Hyun Woo's voice.
- Wow. - Go, Herdsman.
Let's hear his real voice.
Herdsman, please start.
Let's drink.
The memory in a cup.
Let's drink.
A cup of liquor.
Let's drink.
That's it.
- But... - Wow,
- But... - he sounds like Music Commander.
I am not familiar with the original song.
Shall we listen to the original version?
(That would be great.)
Hyun Woo.
Don't ask me to do this. I haven't even warmed up my voice.
- Would you be okay with it? - Bong Sun is great...
at making the most of the past King of Mask Singer.
- It's a talent. - Some people in the audience...
may not be familiar with Hyun Woo's version of the song.
- We have the artist here with us. - That's right.
Let's hear the song in Hyun Woo's voice.
(Please sing for us, Music Commander.)
Let's see how similar Herdsman's voice was. Give him a big hand.
(He hurriedly warms up his voice.)
(Expectant)
Let's drink.
A glass of alcohol.
I cannot do this.
(Disheartened)
This proves...
Herdsman has a wide vocal range.
Hyun Chul was right in his observation.
It was an ambush on Herdsman's part.
Hyun Woo did not warm up his voice.
Herdsman had plenty of time to warm up his voice.
Hyun Woo was caught in Herdsman's trap.
That's right.
Does that mean Herdsman will take the throne today?
- No. - It has not been decided.
It has not been decided.
He seems like the King of Mask Singer material.
To take the throne, he needs to beat Bulgwang-dong Gasoline.
Herdsman sang just now.
His voice reminded me...
of a vocalist of Norazo,
- Lee Hyuk. - Yes.
(Singing skills, rock ballad, dance and absurdity are his descriptors.)
(He has cheerful energy that stems from his powerful voice.)
(Lee Hyuk has charms of a wild horse.)
I think he might be Lee Hyuk.
Let's hear him sing another song.
He will imitate Hyun Woo's voice...
to sing "Waiting Day by Day".
"Waiting Day by Day".
Even though original singer is in front of you,
be confident. He failed to hit high notes earlier.
Be confident.
He is attacking Hyun Woo.
Give us "Waiting Day by Day".
My love.
Did you forget about me?
(He sounds similar.)
Did you truly forget?
(They give him a round of applause.)
- Seong Ju. - That was great, Herdsman.
- Seong Ju. - Yes?
I don't remember Music Commander's version of "Waiting Day by Day".
Don't do that.
My throat is in a bad condition.
Hyun Woo is very flustered.
He even coughed.
Compared to mine,
his voice is much more aggressive and cool.
Be a dear and sing for us.
I really can't.
(My goodness.)
Sing for us.
I will be understanding of the fact...
that you didn't warm up your voice.
His throat is in a bad condition.
I apologise for my strange voice.
Had I foreseen this, I would have warmed up my voice.
- He woke up at 9am today. - You can lower the key.
For how many times was he the King of Mask Singer?
Nine times.
He warmed up his voice.
His competitive streak came out.
He was not so dedicated earlier.
Waiting day by day.
This is the original.
This is what you call shouting.
(Music Commander does not disappoint.)
You are great,
Music Commander.
What did you think as the president of Korea Singers Association?
I witnessed the talent that made him...
take the throne nine consecutive times.
He couldn't sing very well earlier.
I thought, "He could hit high notes in times of hardship.",
and "Living the life of comfort must have ruined him."
He can hit high notes when he is determined.
That's right.
Thinking about the times of struggle helped him hit high notes.
You need to stay hungry to be a good singer.
It's good to stay hungry for more.
Herdsman has more voice imitations to show us.
This time, he will imitate The One's voice.
- The One. - The One.
The One is startled.
How will he imitate The One's voice?
He will sing the song that made The One lose the throne.
(It's the song of controversy.)
Herdsman will sing "Good Day".
My dear.
I like you, my goodness.
My dear.
I like you, my goodness.
"My goodness"
(It sounded completely like him.)
"My goodness"
(The funny and sad memories back then came up.)
(He feels bad.)
I don't remember the original performance.
You don't remember it.
You don't remember how The One sang it.
Let's hear The One's version of "Good Day".
- Sing with the voice you used. - This is how it's going to be.
That's right.
(Laughing)
"My dear, I like you."
My dear.
I like you.
My goodness.
"My goodness"
I need to stick to ballad songs.
All right. This time,
we will hear Weaver Maiden's real voice.
She will sing "Magic Castle"...
in three versions.
First comes a child's version of "Magic Castle".
Can you feel it?
In my dream.
(How cute!)
You are a princess.
Let's end it here.
(It was such a cute version.)
Let's end it here.
All right. That was a child's version of the song.
This time, she will give a classical singer's version.
This is her speciality.
(Wow)
It is filled with hardships.
That's good. She will now give a grandmother's version.
(The third version, Grandmother)
Always.
A child's version and a grandmother's version are weak.
I will save you again.
Let's end it here. Stop.
She revealed herself too much.
She did a great job with classical singing.
She must be a classical singer.
She gave three versions.
Both masked singers did an amazing job.
I think the both of them...
are musical singers.
While I don't know who Herdsman is,
I have an idea of who Weaver Maiden might be.
Who is she?
There is a musical singer...
named Kim Sun Kyung.
(Kim Sun Kyung is an actress and a musical singer.)
She majored in classical singing.
I have something to add.
When she sang "Lying on the Sea",
she did something that could ruin her image.
- She swung her arms. - That's right.
- She did the backstroke. - That's right.
That's why I think she is Kim Sun Kyung.
People of my generation don't do something like that.
Sun Kyung is someone...
- who does comical things... - Really?
From time to time.
When Lee Moon Sae and I hosted a radio programme,
we had Kim Sun Kyung as a guest.
I said to Lee Moon Sae,
- "Who is she? She is beautiful." - She is beautiful.
He told me that she is a musical singer.
I was thinking about her, too.
I think Ji Min is right.
Is that so?
She is one musical singer I absolutely adore.
I see. All right.
Let's stop with the deductions.
It's time to reveal the result...
of the second match of Round One.
I will now reveal...
the second winner of Round One who caught your ears.
(I will now reveal the winner.)
(His shouting was flawless.)
(Herdsman's voice lightened the listeners' hearts.)
(She has gentle energy.)
(The graceful Weaver Maiden has a dynamic voice.)
Whose voice did the audience choose?
The winner is...
It's so nerve-wracking that I can hardly watch it.
Who is the winner?
- The winner is... - The winner is...
Will the winner be a male vocalist...
or a female vocalist?
The masked singer who will move on to Round Two is...
Who is the winner?
Herdsman won.
(Herdsman won.)
(Congratulations, Herdsman.)
Herdsman.
How unfortunate!
Herdsman became the winner.
He beat Weaver Maiden.
With a score of 66 to 33,
Herdsman became the winner.
Please congratulate them with a round of applause.
Herdsman became the winner.
(Walking proudly)
I would like to thank everyone.
I will sing the remaining two songs with all my might.
The president of Korea Singers Association...
predicted that you are a trot singer who majored in classical singing.
We will reveal Weaver Maiden's identity...
with a solo performance prepared for Round Two.
Please give her a big hand.
She has a cosy voice.
I think she is a beautiful actress.
There is a musical singer named Kim Sun Kyung.
I think she is a trot singer...
who majored in classical singing.
- Yu Ji Na. - Yu Ji Na.
- Suh Joo Kyung. - Suh Joo Kyung.
- There is also Kim Soo Hee. - Kim Soo Hee.
That's right.
("Heartbreak" by Yang Ha Young)
(Sexy)
She is acting sexy.
My goodness.
(Swaying)
(Surprised)
(She has a surprisingly sad voice.)
(Her warm voice...)
(soothes your mind.)
(Oh, my.)
(Her clear and straight voice...)
(resonates in the studio.)
(I love it.)
(Her sad voice...)
(breaks the audience's hearts.)
(The heartrending love story of Weaver Maiden)
Weaver Maiden Weaves Cloth, please take off your mask...
and show your face.
(Everyone is dying to know...)
(who she is.)
(Oh, my.)
She is...
(Who is it?)
- Who is it? - She is...
(What a loud cheer.)
She is...
Kim Sun Kyung, the great actress with 29 years of experience.
(It's Sun Kyung! I was right!)
I was right!
(Ji Min correctly guessed who she is.)
It's her! Sun Kyung!
(Why didn't we know that?)
(She was the leader of Korea's first generation musical actors.)
(She is truly a great musical diva.)
I gave birth to...
(She's an amazing actress with 29 years of experience.)
The king.
(She performs enthusiastically in any genre.)
(She played many charming villains.)
- I was just... - Ms Chun.
(An amazing actress, Kim Sun Kyung)
(Today, she doesn't play the villain.)
(She is a singer with a soft voice.)
(She's amazing.)
(She's pretty.)
(She seems comfortable and relaxed on the stage, )
(which proves her many years of experience on the stage.)
(It makes me sad.)
(She is letting out every sadness.)
(She sings with every part of her body.)
(She clearly conveyed the deep sadness with the song.)
Bravo, Kim Sun Kyung!
Thank you.
(Everyone is fascinated by her.)
It was Kim Sun Kyung, a great actress.
Please say hello to the viewers.
Hello, everyone. I'm Kim Sun Kyung, an actress. It's nice to see you.
My gosh.
(Your stage was great!)
Gosh, Ji Min is so accurate.
She correctly guessed who you were.
I remembered you correctly, right?
Yes, you did.
A beautiful woman came to...
my radio programme in the morning.
- All right. - I asked Moon Sae...
who she was, and he said she is the best musical actress in Korea.
- Okay. - That's why I still remember it.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
When you decided to come to our show,
was there any bias you wanted to break while you were on our show?
Many people told me that I'm fit for the roles of concubines or villains.
When I play the villain, when my line is "What?"...
I should say it like this.
I sound very strong because I put all the energy on the lines.
"I'll have to kill her."
(Goodness.)
(She slaps hard.)
Don't just stand there. Throw her out at once!
You were just acting, but people see you...
- as an overpowering woman. - Yes.
I'm not overpowering at all.
- Oh, my. She's so mellow. - I'm not overpowering at all.
Hyun Chul made a lot of compliments on your performance.
The song she sang just before, "Heartbreak",
is a song you can't sing well if you don't have...
decades of life experience.
I think her sensibility is something young people can't imitate.
We will always see you as an actress with...
a great singing ability.
- That's right. - Thank you very much.
- Thank you. - As a musical actress who...
loves music, she showed an extraordinary presence on stage.
- It was Kim Sun Kyung, everyone. - Thank you, everyone.
- Thank you. - Please give her a big hand.
Thank you. Please stay healthy and be happy.
(We're looking forward to Sun Kyung's bright future.)
You must've seen how happy I was.
I couldn't say, "I love you" in the middle of singing.
That's why I made hearts with my fingers.
If I wasn't on the stage wearing a mask,
I would've gone down and given everyone a hug.
I'm a person who likes that.
Actually, my friends tell me to play a part for a sitcom.
I'm speaking politely because I'm wearing hanbok today,
but people find me very funny.
I want to play parts in comedy or romantic dramas.
I'll be able to do that if I keep working hard, right?
(We'll look forward to your acting for different roles.)
Herdsman Raises Cows defeats Kim Sun Kyung...
and advances 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.
I'll introduce the third team now.
The third match of Round One.
From head to toe,
she always gets a perfect score of 10.
Archery Girl.
I'll shoot for the King of Mask Singer.
(I will aim for the King of Mask Singer.)
She's so cute.
People like her sing well.
Here is her opponent.
"I thought I could stab you."
Fencing Man.
(I Thought I Could Stab You Fencing Man)
"I thought I could stab you."
(Charismatic)
He has foils on his head.
Let's give a thrust.
(Cute)
Oh, my.
Isn't she an idol singer?
- She's an idol singer. - I think she's an idol singer.
I think both of them are idol singers.
(Two masked singers are catching everyone's eyes.)
(What kind of stage would they...)
(show to aim for the King of Mask Singer?)
("I'm In Love" by Ra.D)
(Fencing Man confesses his feelings with a sweet voice.)
His voice is so sweet.
(Archery Girl takes courage...)
(and comes closer with a swirling voice.)
(He delicately conveys his mixed feelings.)
Gosh, I love it.
(They put aside their fear and express their hearts.)
(I love you.)
(Archery Girl and Fencing Man's sweet love confession)
It was lovely.
It was refreshing and soft.
They're both so great.
Their voices are plushy.
(Archery Girl's sincere confession pierces right into your heart.)
(I love it.)
(They sing each note carefully...)
(and make a heart pounding harmony.)
(She expresses the excitement and fear of falling in love...)
(in a sincere manner through her pure voice.)
(No matter how hard I try, I can't hide...)
(my feelings for the beautiful you.)
Gosh, their performance is so lovely.
(It was a beautiful love story for the new couples.)
Gosh, that was so sweet!
- It was lovely. - It was so sweet. I loved it!
I will allow your love.
- They're neck-and-neck. - I know.
Round One, the duet song match.
We just watched the third team's performance.
Press Number One for Always Perfect 10 Archery Girl.
Press Number Two...
for I Thought I Could Stab You...
Fencing Man.
Between these two masked singers,
please choose one who made...
your heart flutter more.
All votes are in.
Hello. Always Perfect 10!
I'm Archery Girl.
She greeted us with the national flag on her chest.
Hello.
"I thought I could stab you like this."
I'm Fencing Man. It's nice to meet you all.
- Likewise. - I can tell that he's a little old.
- You think so? - Yes.
- Why is that? - Kim Joon Ho used to imitate that.
He must be from a generation that knows it.
I thought I could make you mine! You're mine!
I think he's a little older.
So right off the bat, Gu Ra said that he thinks Fencing Man...
- must be older than Archery Girl. - Yes.
Jang Hyuk, I'd like to hear your opinion first.
I think both of them are singers.
The way they convey emotions...
and back up each other's voices makes me think that they're...
both professional singers.
Fencing Man's voice makes you feel...
like you are trapped in fog.
I call it "misty voice".
His voice sounds so mysterious.
On the contrary, Archery Girl...
sang as if she was piercing our emotions with arrows.
Only trained singers can express such subtleties.
Because of that and her voice, I think that she's a singer.
- Young Seok, wasn't it lovely? - Yes, definitely.
In terms of their singing styles,
they seemed inseparable.
- Right. - Especially for...
Fencing Man, I think...
he has a very special voice with the element...
that can send us on a trip down memory lane.
It was also very romantic.
- You thought it was romantic. - Yes.
His voice arouses our old memories.
I haven't been on this show for quite a while,
so I wanted to vote mainly for female contestants...
- as much as possible. - That was your plan for today.
However, I keep casting my vote for male contestants,
which made me take two wins so far.
- Two wins? - I guessed correctly twice.
You consider than winning? I see.
Why do you keep meddling with my life?
(You hurt my feelings.)
I'd like to say something about Archery Girl.
- She has such a lilting voice. - She does.
I think she's a member of a girl group.
- You think so? - She's an amazing singer.
Heung Kook is convinced that she belongs to a girl group.
I'd really like to see her face.
- Archery Girl? - Yes.
- Why? - No reason. I just want to see her.
(I just want to see her face.)
What would the reason be?
- It's because of her pretty voice. - I'm curious.
- Let's give this one a chance. - Yoo A.
She hasn't said a word.
- You mean Yoo A? - Heung Kook.
- Please call her Yoo A. - What?
- Yoo A. - Yoo A?
- My name is Yoo A. - I'm Ooh A.
(I'm Ooh A.)
(Goodness gracious!)
(Heung Kook gave us a big laugh.)
- Ooh A. - Seriously.
Only Heung Kook can get away with it.
- Let's ask Yoo A then. - Yes. In my opinion,
Fencing Man is definitely a member of an idol group.
- Definitely? - Yes.
I think that it's obvious...
just from the way he looks.
- Does he look like an idol singer? - Am I wrong?
- His looks states, "idol". - Is it written all over him?
- "I'm an idol singer." - Exactly.
- What about Archery Girl? - She has such a pretty voice.
Her clear, lilting voice...
would be perfect for the type of songs...
that idol groups usually sing. Her voice is so pretty.
The word "idol" is written all over her as well.
I see. We've listened to various opinions.
I heard that Fencing Man's speciality...
is fencing dance.
This dance targets the Olympics. Music, please!
(Which song is this?)
(It's "Monkey Magic" by Lee Park Sa.)
(He dances frivolously.)
(One, two, one, two)
(Here comes the monkey magic!)
(He walks backwards slowly...)
(and swings his foil.)
(I'll poke you all!)
(The gold medal is mine.)
Yes! It's the gold medal.
He flaunted his gold medal at the end.
All right. I heard that Archery Girl...
prepared Gfriend's dance...
to show us as well.
Music, please!
She'll show us Gfriend's dance!
(Cute)
(Oh, no. I missed the beat.)
(The dance is a bit awkward.)
She's adorable.
(She still tries her best to look cute and dance well.)
(I'm the real Gfriend!)
- That's it. - She's so cute.
- All right! - How adorable!
She's not a member of a girl group.
Ji Min, why do you think that?
When I heard her singing, I thought...
that she'd be a professional singer.
But her dance was so sloppy.
- No girl groups... - Was her dance that sloppy?
It's about two percent short of being good.
Let's be honest. It's five percent short.
- Right, five percent. - She did her best,
but it looked sloppy overall, from her steps...
to everything else, so I don't think she belongs to an idol group.
- Are you satisfied with your dance? - Actually,
- I wish I did better. - She's disappointed.
I think she's very nervous right now.
There's someone who came to my mind.
I should become a fortune teller if I'm right again.
- Who is it? - Who?
A young actress who is good at singing.
It's Jung Da Bin.
My dream is to become a writer...
who writes children's stories that make people happy.
- Da Bin. - She started acting as a kid.
Archery Girl has actually...
prepared something to show us.
She'll imitate the Underground announcements we all know.
First, let us hear the Korean announcement!
This stop is Hongik University.
It is Hongik University Station.
Doors will open on your left.
(Let's get off now.)
That's it.
Now, let's hear the English version.
This stop is Hongik University.
The door is on your left.
Now, Chinese!
(Speaking in Chinese)
- She's good. - Hongik University Station.
(Chinese passengers got off as well.)
- She's really good. - Lastly, Japanese!
(She sounds so gentle and sweet.)
(It is Hongik University Station.)
- Let's get off. - It sounds exactly the same.
(It's exactly the same.)
- It sounded exactly the same. - Well...
- You'd know if you've been on... - Yoo A told me something.
Is this one of Oh My Girl's specialities?
Yes. Is she one of our members? Are you Oh My Girl?
(Are you Oh My Girl?)
If she is actually a member of Oh My Girl and Yoo A fails...
- to guess who she is... - Then it's, "Oh my gosh."
- But... - Heung Kook is funny today.
If she can guess, they're Oh My Girl.
- I want to talk about Archery Girl. - Yes.
She must've chosen a station that she is...
- familiar with. - That's possible.
I wonder if she's one of the musicians who perform near there.
- The Queen of Hongdae. - Yes. Taru, for example.
Taru!
(She is known for her pure voice.)
- Yes, Taru. - Taru!
- Right. - Because she rides the underground,
- That must be why she picked it. - She chose that station naturally.
Most people would choose Hongdae.
No one will go for Jichuk Station.
- How was her pronunciation? - Good.
It was good, right? The One, how was her Chinese?
Her Chinese and Japanese were both great.
- Hyun Woo, do you still want to... - Yes.
- see her face after watching this? - Yes.
- I think she's an actress. - Now you think she's an actress.
I don't know who she is,
but I'm getting a feeling that she might be an actress.
I'll ask just in case. Fencing Man, can you...
also imitate those announcements?
I'll do exactly what she did.
- Oh, my! - That's great.
Let's start with the Korean version!
This stop is Hongik University.
It's Hongik University Station.
(Speaking in Chinese)
Hongik University Station.
He must be an idol singer.
That was Fencing Man's actual voice.
He is a person who uses the underground.
He gives us a lot of hints, but I have no idea who he is.
I bet they are young.
When I was a student,
the announcements were only in English.
Do you mean they recently took the underground?
I guess they took the underground recently or not long ago.
He could do that even if he took the underground only once.
Why are you always complaining about my opinion?
The summer heat drives me crazy.
Please don't fight with each other. Calm down.
(Try to get along well with your neighbours during the heat waves.)
Now, I will announce the result of the third match of Round One.
I'll now reveal the winner of this match...
who will move on to Round Two.
Who will move on to the next round?
(Fencing Man has a mysterious, foggy voice.)
(Archery Girl has a voice that's emotional yet sharp as an arrow.)
(They made a beautiful and lovely harmony together.)
Who would be the winner who will move on to Round two?
The winner is...
(The performance was...)
(more beautiful than ever, making it hard to decide the winner.)
- Fencing Man! - Who is the winner?
(Fencing Man and Archery Girl)
The winner is...
The third winner of Round One.
Archery Girl or Fencing Man?
Fencing Man or Archery Girl?
Who is the winner? Please show us the result.
Fencing Man wins.
(The tip of Fencing Man's foil...)
(defeated the arrow of Archery Girl.)
(Here comes my sword!)
(It was a beautiful match, regardless of the results.)
Fencing Man wins.
With a final score of 59 to 40, Fencing Man moved on to...
the next round, beating Archery Girl.
Please go back to your waiting room.
Please give him a round of applause.
(Always Perfect 10 Archery Girl will reveal her identity soon.)
Fencing Man is moving on to Round Two.
(He looks excited.)
(Breathing a sigh of relief)
I was very nervous.
I will keep trying until the end.
Thank you.
Always Perfect 10 Archery Girl.
Who is this woman?
We will reveal her identity with a solo performance...
prepared for Round Two.
Please give her a big hand.
Her voice was as sharp as an arrow.
I think she is a member of a girl group.
I'm sure she is an idol singer.
She might be a child actress.
I think she is Jung Da Bin.
Next stop is "Hongik University Station".
She is the Queen of Hongdae, Taru.
- Taru? - Yes.
(Archery Girl, who are you?)
("Beginning" by Park Ki Young)
(Her sweet voice sounds even more lovely.)
(She is good.)
(Her tone of voice is cute and light like a candy floss.)
Is she really Taru?
Her voice is so clear.
(There is something I want to say to you.)
(I love you.)
(Her voice is soft yet powerful.)
(Who is Archery Girl?)
(I'm so curious.)
Now, Archery Girl, please take off your mask...
and reveal your identity.
(Gosh, it is unbelievable!)
She is...
- Why? - Who is she?
Who is she?
She is...
She is a singer and entertainer, Lady Jane.
- Lady Jane. - Lady Jane?
(Oh my gosh)
Lady Jane?
(They never expected that she'd be Lady Jane.)
Is she Lady Jane?
- She is Lady Jane. - I see.
(It's been a long time since we saw her on stage.)
(She is famous as an entertainer, )
(so people often overlook her as a singer.)
(She is the original Queen of Hongdae indeed.)
(She is a singer with a beautiful voice, Lady Jane.)
(It was Lady Jane's shining performance.)
She is Lady Jane.
(She is so beautiful.)
That was amazing.
She does look like a queen.
I mentioned the Queen of Hongdae.
But she mentioned Taru instead.
That was close.
It is unbelievable.
Archery Girl has revealed her identity.
She is leading an active life as a singer and an entertainer.
She is Lady Jane.
Hello, I'm Lady Jane. It's nice to meet you.
(She made her debut with Aquibird's first album, "All Allowed" in 2006.)
(With her cute look and clear voice, )
(she became the Queen of Hongdae.)
(She released the songs, "Baby, Good Night", "Twenty" and "Feel".)
You have start from somewhere for physical affection.
Did you buy a lot of it?
I bought a lot of it.
(She has proven her wits.)
(She has unlimited charms.)
Bong Sun mentioned the Queen of Hongdae.
I bet you were surprised to hear that.
- Yes, I was. - I was trembling.
- I got it wrong though. - "She got it again?", I thought.
That was so close.
How did it feel when you sang with a mask on?
It's been a long time since I sang in front of many people.
I was very nervous and strained.
She's been talking too much so far without singing.
(She's been talking too much.)
- So I think... - What are you talking about?
- Am I dust? - She should talk less.
She is a singer by profession.
Gu Ra pretends to be incisive.
But he is dull, in fact.
I met him at a wedding before.
I sang at the wedding while Gu Ra hosted the wedding.
I sang "I'm in Love" by Ra.D at the wedding.
- Really? - With your actual voice.
But he didn't recognise my voice.
- Oh my gosh. - Did you sing...
- with your actual voice? - Didn't you lip-sync at that time?
What are you talking about? I never lip-sync.
Didn't you lip-sync?
- No, I didn't. - I'm sorry.
Gu Ra, I know you are a comedian,
but you can't tell singers that they lip-sync.
It is very offensive.
- I saw you lip-syncing many times. - How would you feel...
if I told you that you are not funny?
I will accept it.
- You are funny. - Okay.
(Heung Kook makes up with Gu Ra.)
A lot of men were attracted by Lady Jane's voice.
Hyun Woo, you wanted to see Archery Girl's face.
- Yes. - What do you think?
I'm sorry that I didn't recognise her.
Her voice was familiar though.
I thought I knew the voice.
But I was not sure whose voice it was.
That's why I wanted to see her face so badly...
to figure out who she is.
- Her voice was familiar to you. - Yes.
Was there a dream or wish you wanted to accomplish today?
I don't have any big dream or goal.
All I wanted was to let people...
know that I am a singer.
As long as people know that I am a singer,
I couldn't be any happier.
Today, she showed off her beautiful voice...
as a singer, not as an entertainer.
She is Lady Jane.
Please give her a round of applause.
Lady Jane!
(Please keep singing good songs for us.)
It is finally over.
I was so nervous that my hands were trembling hard.
It was not like introducing my new albums.
So I was very nervous...
and afraid.
But when I took off the mask...
and the audience greeted me with hearty cheers,
it felt like I was interacting with them.
It was very touching.
I think today, as I sang on the stage,
will be the turning point of my life.
I will try harder...
to be a better singer.
Please keep watching out for me.
Thank you.
I Thought I Could Stab You Fencing Man beat Lady Jane...
and moved on to Round Two.
The final match of Round One.
It's the song you can't stop listening once you play it.
DJ Don't Play That Song.
(It's the song that flew out from the DJ's room in the old days.)
You'll miss me like this long-playing record.
(Giggling)
I'm coming soon.
(He's coming soon.)
(Will you listen to the music from a long-playing record?)
(Play the music now.)
DJ,
DJ.
He brought the records.
He's tall.
The challenger will...
conquer the world solely with his voice,
I'm Excited Hurray Radio.
(He brought a cassette player.)
(It's the renaissance of pop culture.)
(The superstar who will make girls swoon is here.)
My time has finally come.
Hurray, Radio.
(Look forward to meeting me.)
(Girls, I'm here.)
(Screaming)
(He enters powerfully.)
He brought something...
that we used to bring in the old days.
Both of them are confident about their musicality.
They must be experts.
(The two masked singers...)
(create a remarkable atmosphere from the beginning.)
(It's the match between an LP record and a cassette.)
(Who will be the winner?)
("Don't Give Up" by Sung Jin Woo)
(What is this voice?)
(Who is he?)
(Oh, gosh.)
(We can feel their masculinity even from the first bar.)
(Let's go!)
(Even the introduction is...)
(so masculine.)
(He is listening carefully.)
(Roughness and softness coexist in Hurray Radio's voice.)
He's good.
(DJ's voice is coarse but has depth.)
(I like it.)
(The atmosphere gets only hotter...)
(thanks to Hurray Radio's powerful vocality.)
(Oh, yes.)
(Dancing)
(I'm so excited.)
(It's the manly love confession that won't take no for an answer.)
(Dancing)
Let's go.
(House Band)
(He's so gorgeous.)
(Hurray Radio's vocality is so attractive.)
(Wait, what is this voice?)
We must know him.
(Hurray Radio reveals himself more clearly as time goes on.)
(Absorbed)
(DJ is excited as well.)
I love you.
(It's rock and roll.)
(Bravo.)
(It was a passionate love confession from two masculine men.)
They're so gorgeous.
I'm so excited.
I've never heard this kind of harmony before.
It's fun.
I'm so curious.
The last match of Round One's duet competition has ended.
It was the last match.
To whom were your unbiased hearts attracted?
Please choose only one masked singer.
All votes are in.
DJ, please say hello to the viewers.
Don't play the music, please.
(The younger generation won't know the song.)
(The bar is from "To DJ", a song released in 1982.)
DJ
(Those were our times.)
I'm DJ.
Okay.
He dressed in a sparkly suit...
- like a trot singer. - He's funny.
Please say hello to the viewers, Hurray Radio.
Hello, I'm Excited...
Hurray Radio.
He is I'm Excited Hurray Radio.
Jang Hyuk, how did you like their stage?
The song made...
DJ's masculinity stand out.
(His voice sounded raw...)
(like a handsome man in 90s.)
The song matched him perfectly,
and I could see him trying to convey the message of the song...
that tells us not to give up...
on our lives.
(A man can never give up on his love or his job.)
(That's the life of a man.)
On the other hand,
Hurray Radio is not singing in his real voice.
He changed his voice to make it sound hoarse...
so that it goes well with the song.
(He sounds strange.)
But,
it wasn't that hoarse.
I think he sings delicate songs.
You think he intentionally changed his voice according to the song?
Yes. He was being nice to DJ.
(He might have changed his voice.)
He didn't sing in his real singing voice...
but faked a similar voice.
As to the real voice,
he couldn't help singing high notes in the end.
(He couldn't hide his real voice until the end.)
(I can't stand it any longer.)
In the end, he decided to sing high notes in the end...
and he sang high notes at last.
I think Hurray Radio is a singer...
and DJ is a senior actor.
As you grow older,
the muscles in the vocal cord become loosened as well.
I heard, when he sang vibrato,
"Don't give up"
it was the pattern of vibrato loosened.
That happens in people after their middle 40s.
- It's the aging process. - About Hurray Radio, however,
(Hurray Radio moved the whole time whilst he was performing.)
(Budging)
I don't think he's a rock musician.
I think he may be an older member of an idol group.
They gave information that will help your reasoning.
Hyun Woo who danced while sitting on a chair,
how did you like their stage?
(It's the rare upper body dance of immobile Music Commander.)
(It's so exciting.)
How was the performance?
As to Hurray Radio,
he has a far-reaching voice.
I felt so.
To me, he sounded like a rock musician.
(Ha Hyun Woo and Kim Kyung Ho)
(Their powerful voices...)
(flew through the rooftop like dragons.)
(However, Hurray Radio's short bar...)
(had a similar impression.)
DJ's voice sounds familiar.
- Both of their voices? - Both of them sound familiar.
He may actually be a DJ of a radio programme.
Hyun Chul, you are currently a DJ of a radio programme.
There is only one person with such a stature...
in the entire AM and FM programme.
- Who is it? - Who is it?
He is Bae Chul Soo.
(Is he Bae Chul Soo, a DJ from Song Gol Mae?)
His singing style was similar to that of Bae Chul Soo.
- Right. - Wow.
He's a singer, too.
We should see...
something about him.
Otherwise, we won't know anything about him.
- Do you want to see the speciality? - Yes.
First, he prepared a dance...
named as "narcissistic dance".
Let's see his dance.
Play the music, please.
(But this song is...)
Isn't this "Swallowtail Butterfly"?
(It's the legendary song which alone was enough for the dinner show.)
(Let's see.)
(Stumbling)
(He loves slap stick and he's so happy to see one.)
He loves the dance.
(Get ready, now.)
(Stumbling)
(He dances well.)
(Swinging)
(Hurray Radio does his best until the end.)
(Satisfied)
This is it.
I think it's not a speciality for a show.
It's something he would do amongst his friends.
Something he would do amongst his friends.
- At a karaoke, right? - It's too lacking to be on TV.
I enjoyed seeing him dance to "Swallowtail Butterfly".
- Why are you being so picky? - The way I see it,
he only pretended to fall down.
- It's how the original looks like. - In my opinion,
he is sending...
a message to Heung Kook.
Maybe he is related to Heung Kook.
- Do you mean he is a family member? - That's not what I meant.
I think he is related to Heung Kook.
Heung Kook, when you danced to "Swallowtail Butterfly" in the past,
you almost fell before you got up. Can you still do the dance?
(Can you still do the dance?)
- Of course he can't do it. - You can't, can you?
You are only asking me that question...
- so that I will dance. - I was only curious.
Seriously.
I was only curious.
Would you show us the dance?
Let's go.
I am the president of Korea Singers Association.
- You don't have to do it. - The thing is...
the way he dances these days lacks sincerity.
- Is that so? - Pay me for my sincerity.
(He is a realist.)
- Don't be ridiculous. - I see.
You don't dance unless you get paid.
- Show us the dance. - I don't usually dance for free.
Show us the dance.
Please give him a round of applause.
(How will the original dance look like?)
The original singer will dance to "Swallowtail Butterfly".
I could dance a lot better 30 years ago.
(In 1989, Heung Kook could fly like a butterfly.)
I will dance to the part that goes, "Fly, swallowtail butterfly".
- Shall we play that part? - Yes, play that part.
Give us the music.
(The original singer of "Swallowtail Butterfly" gets ready.)
(Let's go.)
(My goodness.)
(He crashes into the panellists.)
(My goodness.)
(Crashing)
What was that?
Many years have passed.
I don't believe you can control the ball in football.
- You can't even control your body. - Luna, are you okay?
- What was that? - I was too excited.
It's uncanny how he crashed into a female panellist.
Many years have passed.
This time, Hurray Radio...
will show us a dance.
He will give us the Offbeat Dance.
Give us the music.
(Dance routine of "Like Ooh-Ahh" is quite difficult.)
This is the Offbeat Dance.
He misses the beat.
(Dancing in hurry)
He must dance more quickly.
(I must dance more quickly.)
He must dance more quickly.
He is full of energy.
(He found his pace.)
(Jumping)
(He missed the beat again.)
All right.
(He tries hard to keep up with the beat.)
It looks like he is in a hurry.
(I am in a hurry.)
(He almost slapped himself.)
(His dance is a step ahead of the song.)
(He jumps gracefully.)
That's the end.
It was the Offbeat Dance.
Ji Min, did his dance give you a clue on his identity?
I have a feeling that he is a rocker.
He danced in an awkward way.
He wouldn't have danced that way...
if he had great dance skills.
- It's the Offbeat Dance. - Is it possible for a rocker...
to memorise the dance routine?
It looks like he memorised the dance routine.
Are rockers incapable of memorising a dance routine?
Rockers usually improvise on the stage...
instead of memorising the dance routine.
Hurray Radio memorised the dance routine,
even if it was for a comedic effect.
While some rockers dance,
they don't memorise dance routines.
They move in accordance with the atmosphere.
- Their dance is improvised. - That's right.
I would like to add that...
- Hyun Woo dances often. - Why are you doing this to me?
(She is the best at putting people on the spot.)
I am only stating a fact.
I've never danced on the stage!
(Do you remember this?)
(Dancing)
(Turning)
(Dancing)
(Music Commander shook his body.)
I only said it because I was reminded of your dance.
Ha Hyun Woo! Ha Hyun Woo!
All right.
I only said it because I was reminded of your dance.
- Hurry up and dance. - I bet he has unique dance moves.
(He is a polite rocker who listens to his elders.)
- My goodness. - I didn't intend this to happen.
I bet he has his unique dance moves.
Let's see how a rocker dances.
(Nervous)
(We will cheer you on.)
Give us the music. This is how Ha Hyun Woo dances.
Let's go. Feel the music.
Feel the music.
He is a rocker.
(This is the dance of a rocker.)
Rockers do not memorise dance routines.
That's good. That's good.
(He looks haughty.)
(He even shows the moonwalk.)
(He has irresistible charms.)
He is improvising.
All right.
(He is Dance Commander in My Town.)
He is a great dancer.
- It was great. - That's how a rocker dances.
- He is a great dancer. - He really is.
He is a rocker who can dance very well.
I think Hurray Radio...
is a talented dancer,
because he knows the details of the dance.
Twice has a dance move that goes like this.
He kept his fingers straight in this signature dance move.
That's good.
I think he is an idol singer who likes rock music.
You think he is an idol singer who can dance well.
I have something to say about DJ.
I looked at DJ through binoculars.
He has double eyelids.
Can you see them with binoculars?
I can catch glimpses of them.
Don't turn away.
- He has double eyelids. - I am certain of it.
Would you turn the other way?
- Turn the other way. - On the side is a poster...
- of a film with Shin Seong Il. - Are you talking about this?
That's right. It looks like a poster of a film.
- It is an image of a singing man. - I conclude that...
he is in the film industry.
- For goodness' sake. - You think he is an actor.
You don't think he is a radio DJ.
I think he is in the film industry.
He works in the film industry.
He keeps sending you a message.
- That's what I noticed. - Gu Ra thinks...
DJ is sending a message...
- to Heung Kook. - Could he be Bong Man Dae?
- I think he is Bong Man Dae. - Bong Man Dae.
- He is Bong Man Dae. - Really? Bong Man Dae is at home.
He keeps sending you a message.
How are Heung Kook and Bong Man Dae related?
They are in "We Must Vent" together.
I am sure he is venting at home. Why would he be here?
Wait a minute. Didn't you have a recording today?
You had a radio recording today.
- He must have come after work. - It's possible he is Bong Man Dae.
- He is Bong Man Dae. - All right.
Gu Ra was in "Tteokguk-piercer".
- That's right. - You really need to stop.
- Are you ashamed of the film? - Why can't she talk about it?
- You were in "Tteokguk-piercer". - "Tteokguk-piercer"...
is not a film. It's only a video.
- You played the lead. - Yes, I did.
Bong Man Dae's name came up all of the sudden.
All right. Now, I will announce the result...
of the last match of Round One.
Which masked singer will move on to Round Two?
The winner of the duet song match...
will be revealed.
(Which masked singer will move on to Round Two?)
(DJ's voice was unrefined, but soulful.)
(Hurray Radio's voice had both roughness and softness.)
Between DJ and Hurray Radio,
who will be the last winner of the duet song match?
The winner is...
(King of Mask Singer)
The winner is...
(Who is it?)
(Who will be the last one...)
(to move on to Round Two?)
Did DJ win?
Did Hurray Radio win?
Show us the result.
(King of Mask Singer)
The winner of this round...
will compete against Fencing Man...
in Round Two.
Who will be the winner?
Who is the last masked singer to move on to Round Two?
(I'm Excited Hurray Radio won.)
Hurray Radio won.
(Wow!)
I knew it.
(The result was predictable.)
(Congratulations.)
(What is the margin between the votes?)
Hurray Radio beat DJ...
and became the winner...
with a final score of 21 to 78.
There was a big difference between the votes.
Please go to your waiting room.
Please give him a big hand.
(The shocking identity of DJ will be revealed soon.)
The final score is 78 to 21.
(He exits with light steps.)
I will do my best in the next round as well...
and give an outstanding performance.
Who is this masked singer with a charming voice?
People's guesses...
ranged from an actor to a radio DJ.
- He has a specific singing style. - It's time to reveal his identity.
We will reveal DJ's identity...
with a solo performance...
prepared for Round Two. Please give him a big hand.
(His identity will be revealed now.)
He is like an unprocessed stone.
He conveyed the message...
of never giving up.
(His dance looked a bit awkward.)
- "Swallowtail Butterfly". - Maybe he is related to Heung Kook.
- Do you mean he is a family member? - That's not what I meant.
I think he may be a radio DJ.
- I think he is Bong Man Dae. - Director Bong Man Dae.
He is Bong Man Dae.
("Deep in the Night" by Crying Nut)
(His voice sounds much softer.)
(It sounds like a man is singing alone on a lonely night.)
(His fascinating voice attracts you.)
He's cute.
(It's a sentimental stage...)
(where you get mesmerised by the music and joy.)
(I was looking at the fairy-tale stars as a boy)
(I will get on the carriage and get the moon)
DJ, please take off your mask...
and reveal your face.
(Screaming)
(Shocked)
He's wearing glasses.
I think he's an actor.
Is he an actor?
(Who is he?)
Who is he?
He is...
Bong Man Dae, the movie director of...
"Tteokguk-piercer".
I knew it!
(It's Bong Man Dae!)
(He is an artist with great sensibility...)
(who shapes the life inside the screen.)
(Bong Man Dae, a movie director with 17 years experience)
- What about Gu Ra? - Gu Ra.
I should call him Returned Mr Chin.
(His beard is his trademark.)
(As he shows his charms on variety shows, )
You look like a swindler.
(he plays an active part on TV programmes.)
(Bong Man Dae constantly challenges for something more.)
(Man Dae's pure voice...)
(makes everyone happy.)
(Shy)
(Hello)
(Gosh)
(Hug me)
(He seems shy, but he still sings with all his heart.)
(It was like a festival on a summer night with a fascinating stage.)
It was amazing.
He looks much more handsome, when seen in person.
DJ was Bong Man Dae, the movie director.
Hello. I'm Bong Man Dae. It's nice to see you.
All right.
(It's good to see you.)
Good. You're also a DJ of the same radio programme...
- with Heung Kook, right? - Yes.
He and I are friends.
How did he know it was me?
He's starring in a new movie.
Does he play the lead?
Yes. He's an actor as well.
- He's an actor. - Yes.
Gosh. You appear on TV shows and radio programmes,
direct movies and now play a role in a movie.
I was just lucky.
I heard you joined a band recently.
Other movie directors and I made a band.
The name is DGK. We also have a vocalist.
Who are those directors?
Pang Eun Jin,
Yim Pil Sung, Mo Ji Eun...
- and me. - Okay.
What do you play in your band?
What's your role?
I'm the leader.
(Bong Man Dae, the leader)
(While everyone is busy practising, )
(he's taking a selfie.)
(He takes two selfies...)
(and leaves.)
You're not wasting even a second of your life.
You're not wasting even a second.
I heard there is someone that you want to show your stage to.
Actually, whenever I'm on TV shows,
I couldn't bring myself to call my mother...
although she lives near by.
I'm a bit shy.
When I was young, she didn't want me to become an artist.
She told me that being an artist is hard.
Now, she prays for me every morning.
Anyway, I hope she would see this.
We'll let you send her a video message. Please look at the camera.
Please say, "Ready, action."
Please say it. He's a director.
- Man Dae. - Yes.
Ready, action.
To your mother.
Mum. Even though I can't visit you often,
you pray for me every morning,
and say good things about me to people. Thank you.
Since I haven't received any award for my movies,
I wanted to get one win here,
but I couldn't.
You may need to pray harder for me.
I'll do my best. Please stay healthy.
(Please stay healthy.)
He's a person who doesn't avoid difficult challenges...
and who loves music.
Please give a big round of applause for Bong Man Dae.
- Great work today. - Thank you.
(We will support your passionate challenges.)
All right. It was Bong Man Dae.
- My goodness. - How have you been?
I didn't know you were such a terrible singer.
You're so shameless.
I didn't know he's so terrible at singing.
He's a movie director. He sings well enough.
You did good.
- Thank you. - Your stage was great.
Should I release an album?
No, you shouldn't.
