Last week,
- She is Gyeong Ree. - He is Kim Jun Seon.
- Actors, comedians and singers. - He is Heo Jeong Min.
We were both surprised and happy in Round One.
However, the true battle begins now.
The singers in question have passed Round One...
to compete against the King of Mask Singer.
Book Girl Loves to Read.
Seok Bong is Scared of the Dark.
Love Comes Back, Top Boy.
Do I Look Like a Straw Bag.
Also,
the singer waiting for them bursts with sensibility.
He has an appealing husky voice...
that makes our hearts soak wet like autumn rain.
He is our 36th and 37th King of Mask Singer,
I'm Excited Hurray Radio.
The online mobile survey on the 38th King of Mask Singer was conducted.
According to the online mobile survey,
the 36th and 37th King of Mask Singer,
I'm Excited Hurray Radio ranked first...
while Seok Bong is Scared of the Dark...
ranked second.
We call this kind of song daunting.
She has shown the best performance.
She knows how to play hard to get musically.
Performances in Round Two will heat up the autumn night.
The result of these fierce matches will be hard to predict.
Will Hurray Radio win three consecutive victories?
The fierce match on fire...
is coming soon.
(King of Mask Singer)
The mysterious music show, King of Mask Singer.
One of the biggest national holidays,
Chuseok is around the corner.
Who will be the last singer...
that will compete...
against Hurray Radio?
The second stage to become the 38th King of Mask Singer,
Round Two, Semi-finals has started.
Let the solo performance of the first match begin.
(The match begins now.)
It's the first match of Round Two, Semi-finals.
She's defeated Gyeong Ree of 9muses...
with her romantic vocal that appeals to sensitivity.
Book Girl Loves to Read.
(My season has come back again.)
(She's full of the scent of autumn.)
She has a straight body.
She seemed very strong. I wonder what she will do in Round Two.
Look at her powerful aura.
(Just when we thought she was an elegant book-lover,)
(she transformed.)
(Book Girl can be cute as well as tough.)
I think she will love thrillers or chivalry novels.
I think she's a woman of a very strong personality.
She could have sung in a different voice.
She is definitely hiding something.
Come on, Gu Ra. Let's go.
(Her sense of humour is incredible.)
(She has shown so many unexpected sides.)
She's good.
I think she's a comedienne.
She's a comedienne.
(Book Girl has a charmingly unpredictable side.)
(What song would she have chosen for this round?)
("Gaeyeoul" by Jeong Mi Jo)
She's up to something.
("Gaeyeoul" by Jeong Mi Jo)
(Gosh.)
(Her strong resonance brings out a sigh of admiration.)
(Her voice has completely changed from that of Round One.)
(It's a song of infinite longing...)
(that misses the lover who has left without any promise.)
Gosh, this is...
(It's one word from the lover that lingers in mind.)
(The song is based on the poem "Gaeyeoul" by Kim So Wol...)
(and Book Girl expresses it so beautifully.)
- She's not a comedienne. - She's not a comedienne.
She's too good to be a comedienne.
- I know who she is. - I don't. Who's she?
(There's a singer who sings so well.)
She's really good.
(House Band)
(It's a heartbreaking cry from the bottom of her heart.)
(It's a walk down to the trail of the old lover in memory.)
(Wow.)
(It's waiting with a mixed emotion of regret and resignation.)
(It's such a heartbreaking song...)
(of infinite longing without any promise.)
(It is so amazing.)
- I loved it. - It's perfect for the autumn night.
She's incredible.
She's so charming.
- She's so different from Round One. - So different.
This is autumn.
Opposing her...
is the singer who defeated Son Heon Su.
His song will leave a mark in your heart.
Seok Bong is Scared of the Dark.
(Mother,)
(I will become King of Mask Singer and return home in glory.)
(Good luck, Seok Bong.)
Which song will he sing today?
(He had a beautiful voice that freshens listeners' mood.)
(Moreover,)
(he had great singing skills.)
I think he sang a lot of rock songs.
He has singing skills which speak of proper training.
I am finally on King of Mask Singer Move out of my way
If you don't, I will smack your butt
He is b-boying.
That's good.
(He even showed a difficult b-boying move.)
He is twisting his legs.
(Who is he?)
I think he is a senior singer who used to be in an idol group.
Maybe he is Eun Ji Won.
Eun Ji Won.
(Panellists had many guesses about his identity.)
(What kind of performance will he give today?)
("The Wind is Blowing" by Lee So Ra)
(His warm and beautiful voice fills listeners' empty hearts.)
(He expresses emotions better than he did in the previous round.)
(He paints a sad scenery with each note.)
(His sentimentality leaves a lingering impression.)
(Memories scatter in the wind,)
(never to return.)
How is his voice so clear?
(The innocence in his voice makes it sound more heartbreaking.)
(Old love transforms into wind.)
(His voice makes listeners remember memories of heartbreak.)
(It's the tragedy of love one never wanted.)
(The more you loved, the more hurtful a breakup will be.)
(My goodness.)
(It's a feeling of being stranded alone in the world.)
(The scar of a breakup will never fade.)
(The wind blows as it did on the day of the breakup.)
(It was a heart-rending performance of "The Wind is Blowing".)
- Seok Bong, don't cry. - The wind is blowing...
in my heart.
That was amazing.
He can sing very well.
The first match came to an end.
Young Seok closed his eyes...
- and threw himself... - Did you cry?
- into the performance. - Did you cry?
I don't think he cried.
You should cry to celebrate the national holiday.
Don't force him to cry. What did you think?
Both performances felt like a signal of the approaching autumn.
They were very nice.
I must start with an apology.
I underestimated Book Girl greatly.
She has talents like someone who has read books from all genres.
(Both sweetness and bitterness were present...)
(in Book Girl's emotions.)
(Wow)
(It was a banquet of sentimentality like literature night.)
She dragged and threw...
the note freely.
The way she manipulated the sound shows a talent...
not even singers with 10 years of experience would have.
I know that now.
- I was foolish. - You made a mistake.
I judged a book by its cover on Round One.
I will now move on to Seok Bong.
Many singers have sung the song he sang.
(Every singers showed a different colour.)
(They sang the song alone and in groups.)
(It's a song that is loved by the most talented vocalists.)
("The Wind is Blowing")
Seok Bong's interpretation of "The Wind is Blowing"...
seemed like the first heartbreak.
(The first heartbreak)
Like first love,
first breakup is an agony.
- You are right. - He expressed...
innocent and intense emotions.
(It was the performance of an innocent first love.)
It was not a smooth breakup song...
sung by those who have experienced numerous loves and breakups.
That's why his performance of "The Wind is Blowing"...
was more touching.
(It was an innocent performance of "The Wind is Blowing".)
I enjoyed it very much. I thought to myself,
"This is how a breakup should be."
All right.
Seok Bong, have you recently experienced a breakup?
I have experienced a very sad breakup once.
- Once? - Yes.
(That's too bad.)
How did you feel back then?
Like they do in a film, I cried my eyes out in a bus.
- I see. - I cried my eyes out.
You cried your eyes out.
(Goodbye, my love.)
(Please be happy.)
(Crying)
They are giving him high praises. Gu Ra.
I think Lee So Ra's version of the song sounds like a chant.
(This is how she sings the song.)
It sounds like the man who broke up with her will fall ill.
- What are you talking about? - It's only a personal opinion.
It seems a bit like a spell.
"I hope you fall ill."
That's Lee So Ra's charm.
Seok Bong's "The Wind is Blowing"...
sounded like it was sung by Gyeon Woo of "My Sassy Girl".
(You are exactly right.)
It had a refreshing charm.
(Seok Bong's voice was incredibly refreshing.)
- What about Book Girl? - If Book Girl is...
who I think she is, she is not very old.
- Really? - Yes.
She sings as a member of a group...
- as well as a solo artist. - Please give me her initials.
- H. - H.
- You could be right. - I think she is H.
Her voice is similar too.
- She seems like H, right? - Yes, she does.
- Is she a singer? - Of course she is.
- A singer whose name starts with H? - Yes.
(I have something to say.)
(A while ago)
(I know who she is.)
I have no idea. Who is she?
(Hyun Chul seems so sure about who she is.)
- What about J? - J?
I'm sure she's not her.
JMR.
- JMR? - Who is she?
JMR?
Her singing reflected her years of experience...
in Round Two. She must be JMR.
- Who is JMR? - Jin Mi Ryung.
(Jin Mi Ryung)
- Gosh. - Is she Jin Mi Ryung?
(Is Book Girl Jin Mi Ryung?)
I'm pretty sure that she is Jin Mi Ryung.
The way she lifted her head when she hit the high notes,
it was just like her.
Actually I was thinking the same thing.
Two people are being mentioned for Book Girl. H and J.
You all look very confused after watching their solo performances.
Now, I will have them show you more of their specialities...
that they didn't show in Round One.
That's nice.
Seok Bong who captured women's hearts will go first.
He prepared some dance moves for his speciality.
It is called "Master Calligrapher Dance".
- Master calligrapher? - He has...
a good handwriting. Music, please.
This is "Master Calligrapher Dance".
(How would "Master Calligrapher Dance" look like?)
(He was less than perfect before.)
He will mimic Choi Min Soo's voice.
"I thought I could have you this way."
He had two more people to imitate, but he will stop here.
He gave up.
"I want you to write characters while I cut rice cakes into slices."
He looks very serious.
(He swings his hand in the air.)
He's writing characters in the air.
That's amazing.
(Let my handwriting rise and dance!)
He's writing something. What would it say?
- Okay. - He is good at it.
(They are not sure what it was, but it was good anyway.)
- That was much better. - You did a good job.
- That was much better, indeed. - What did you write?
They want to know what you wrote.
I wrote, "Hello, Gu Ra."
- It was "Hello, Gu Ra". - Really? How nice.
He wrote "Hello, Gu Ra" in the air.
You should say hello when you meet someone.
(It turns out Seok Bong is a polite person.)
Actually, I like Gu Ra very much.
I see.
Now, it is Book Girl's turn. You've been guessing she is relatively old.
She will show you her dancing and singing.
This is what Kim Ji Seon did in a comedy show.
It is "Flower Bud Art Troupe". Book Girl will show you that.
(It is for reconciliation between North Korea and South Korea.)
(It was the segment titled "Flower Bud Art Troupe".)
Please say hello to them.
(Stepping forward)
"Hello."
"We are Flower Bud Art Troupe."
Music, please.
She starts singing.
(He watches with a smile.)
Flower Bud Art Troupe.
(Hopping)
(Welcome!)
(Excited)
I kiss Dad, and Dad kisses me
I like Dad's kiss the most
(Hopping)
She's hopping.
(She looks cute.)
I kiss Dad, and Dad kisses me
I like Dad's kiss the most
(I like Dad's kiss the most)
- She likes her dad's kiss. - She is good.
She did a good job.
Do you still think she is the person you mentioned earlier?
I'm sure that's her.
- Are you sure? - Yes.
I think Book Girl is...
probably a mother of a young child because she keeps...
showing specialities that is related to children.
It was like she was doing it for her children.
And she sang just like a young child.
As I saw her doing it,
she looked like a mother.
- That's what I think. - I see.
In fact, I'm young.
- Are you young? - Really?
(Is she really a young girl?)
Round Two, Semi-finals.
I just got the result of the first match.
Who would be the winner?
Book Girl Loves to Read.
Seok Bong is Scared of the Dark.
I'll now reveal the winner of this match.
(It will be revealed soon.)
(She showed a rich performance with every part of her body.)
(It was like reading a masterpiece.)
(With her remarkable ability to express herself,)
(Book Girl left a long-lasting message in people's minds.)
(He sang with his clear and sweet voice.)
(Just like his passion for calligraphy,)
(with his pure and rich sensitivity,)
(Seok Bong captured people's hearts.)
Book Girl and Seok Bong.
Who is the winner of this match? The winner is...
The winner is...
(Tell us now.)
(They can't guess what the result will be.)
(Their mouth goes dry.)
(It was a beautiful and fierce competition.)
(Book Girl or Seok Bong?)
Who will move on to Round Three?
Who is the winner?
Who will move on to Round Three? Please show the result.
(Seok Bong is Scared of the Dark wins.)
Seok Bong wins.
Seok Bong will move on to Round Three.
(He will move on to Round Three.)
(Beating the experienced singer,)
(he won with his pure voice.)
Seok Bong will move on to Round Three.
(The score is 40 to 59.)
The final score is 40 to 59.
Seok Bong won by a small margin and moved on to Round Three.
Please go back to your waiting room. Please give him a big hand.
(He goes back to his waiting room.)
Seok Bong is the first one who moved on to Round Three.
Thank you so much.
I feel like I'm still dreaming.
(Shaking)
I'm about to pass out.
I can't believe I won.
(His legs gave way already.)
She sang with her beautiful voice on the stage.
Who would Book Girl be then? Let's find out who she is.
Book Girl, please move to the rear of the stage.
(There was a diversity of opinion over who she is.)
Now, Book Girl, please take off your mask and reveal your face.
She was like a magician of expressing herself.
She is a member of a group.
But she sings solo from time to time.
- She is H. - H?
Her singing reflected her years of experience.
- She's JMR. - Who is JMR?
- Jin Mi Ryung. - Jin Mi Ryung?
Please take off your mask and reveal your face.
(Oh, my gosh)
(Look who she is!)
- Is that her? - Who is she?
Who is she?
- She must be very famous. - Who is that?
She is...
Ho Ran of Clazziquai.
(Ho Ran of Clazziquai)
I told you.
(She is Ho Ran.)
I told you she was H.
- She is H. - Good job.
(She is an attractive singer with 13 years of experience.)
It turns out...
Book Girl was Ho Ran.
Please say hello to those who are watching our programme.
Hello. I'm Book Girl Loves to Read, Ho Ran.
("She Is" is a famous original sound track of "My Lovely Sam Soon".)
(The group left many hit songs such as "Come to Me" and "Lover Boy".)
(They have created a firm fan base with their unique songs.)
(She is a vocalist of Clazziquai...)
(and an acoustic band, Ibadi.)
(She is a musician with a refined and soft voice.)
(She also focuses on solo activities,)
(showing off her various charms.)
(She is Ho Ran, a singer with 13 years of experience.)
Gu Ra said she was H.
I saw her walking last week.
She has her own way of walking. It looks somewhat charismatic.
I recognised her by her walk.
And I heard her voice again...
and became convinced that she was Ho Ran.
The other panellists mentioned Jin Mi Ryung, by the way.
How could you sound so mature?
Her voice was quite familiar.
I guess you were a bit confused though.
By the way, Ho Ran has an image...
of a smart, confident and cool woman.
So many people thought you were unapproachable.
But she looked totally different in "Flower Bud Art Troupe".
Which one do you think is the real you?
Actually, it is what I really wanted to do.
It is what I usually do with my friends.
In fact, they told me that I should do it on TV and...
I should look funny and friendly.
But whenever I stood in front of a camera,
I became stiff and reserved for some reason.
I was afraid people would be disappointed in me.
It was my first time to see people...
laughing out loud and clapping their hands at my jokes since my debut.
So I was very impressed today.
- I see. - Thank you.
(I was very impressed today.)
I think she showed a different side of her on the stage today.
Please give her a big hand.
(We look forward to your future endeavours.)
- Thank you very much. - Thank you.
(This is the way she walks that Gu Ra mentioned earlier.)
Before I came here,
I was afraid to appear on this show.
I wanted to run away. I thought, "Why did I say I'll go on the show?"
I thought about all sorts of things.
Now, I'm really glad that I came here.
When I took off my mask, only the people in the back could see me.
Their faces lit up...
and the shouting started to spread.
Frankly, I thought...
"Why are they happy to see me?"
I...
(I thought to myself...)
I thought to myself that...
people wouldn't...
like me that much.
They'd think of me as a cold...
and distant person.
Rather than the pleasant smiles...
or happy faces,
I expected to see smirks and hear things like,
"Why is she here?" I was really afraid...
to see those faces.
When I took off my mask,
(I didn't expect such...)
I didn't expect people to greet me so warmly.
Actually, this isn't a big deal, right?
There are people who stay as the King of Mask Singer for weeks.
I failed at Round Two.
Maybe this is ridiculous,
but it was a very meaningful stage for me.
I thought I would be here to show...
something to see and hear...
to the audience.
But I was wrong.
It was me who actually received something from here.
Today was such an unforgettable day.
And I will never forget it no matter what I do in the future.
I will never forget it. Thank you.
(Thank you.)
This is the result of Round Two.
Seok Bong is Scared of the Dark defeated Ho Ran and moved on...
to Round Three.
The second match of Round Two, Semi-finals.
He beat Heo Jeong Min last week.
He has boundless energy towards the King of Mask Singer's throne.
Love Comes Back, Top Boy.
(The King of Mask Singer will be mine.)
(He walks in with confidence.)
(We can't wait.)
- I'm so looking forward to this. - He will be amazing.
- Who can he be? - He will do great.
- He looks confident. - He seems relaxed.
(With a soft, clear and sweet voice that...)
(makes your heart flutter,)
(Top Boy captured the hearts of the panellists.)
He has a low and thick...
female voice. He has a beautiful voice.
His voice surpassed the sound of the band.
His voice surpassed the band. Stop now.
(His beautiful voice will certainly make you happy.)
(However, you never know what will happen in Round Two.)
(He perks his ears.)
(Which song did he choose for his solo performance?)
("I'll Be There" by Eve)
(His mellow voice fills up the empty space.)
(Amazed)
(He's good.)
(He sings about loneliness in a plain manner.)
(He's really good.)
(He has a soft yet powerful voice.)
(His clear, high-pitched voice feels refreshing.)
(His charisma rules the stage.)
(It's a combination of soft voice and powerful vocalisation.)
(Absolutely awed)
He has such a clear voice.
(He's the best.)
(The sad but wild confession of love...)
(towards the woman who left him)
(Even with the continuous high notes,)
(he sings with full confidence.)
(He has heated up the studio with his intense energy.)
(It was a stage where he showed a different side of him.)
(They can't stop shouting.)
It was powerful.
- It was. - It was so intense.
He's great.
His opponent...
defeated Kim Jun Seon last time.
His happy voice reminds you of the golden waves of autumn.
Do I Look Like...
a Straw Bag.
(Only the golden mask will match the golden field.)
(Energetic)
(He is so cool.)
I can't wait.
His hand gestures are like a musical actor's.
- I know. I think so, too. - I'm sure he's a musical actor.
He is just standing, but is so overpowering.
(With his magnificent singing ability and graceful sensibility,)
(Straw Bag turned his stage into a musical.)
Listening to your song made me happy.
He has a voice which is soft and powerful...
at the same time. It was impeccable.
Straw Bag sang in bel canto style.
He has a very manly singing style.
He certainly sounded like a musical actor.
He's reaping the rice.
He's now threshing it.
He's threshing it.
Hurray.
(To move on to Final Round,)
(This mysterious man has prepared...)
(a secret weapon. What will it be?)
("Last Concert" by Lee Seung Chul)
It's "Last Concert".
(Just hearing the introduction makes your heart pound.)
(Wow)
(His voice sounds gloomy and mellow.)
(He sounds great.)
(He whispers the pain of the parting with restrained emotions.)
(Mesmerised)
- He's amazing. - I love it.
(The audience is absorbed in his singing in an instant.)
(The girl left.)
(The song sounds even sadder without her.)
(It's nice.)
He is great.
(Touched)
(House Band)
(We can feel his pain.)
("Last Concert" is finished with beautiful melody.)
(Straw Bag's charm stole everyone's heart.)
He is lovely.
I'm going to go out as well.
(I'm coming with you, Bong Sun.)
Who should I vote?
- It's tough, isn't it? - What should I do?
Oh, my.
The second match of Round Two has finished.
Whose voice of the two...
attracted you more emotionally?
Love Comes Back, Top Boy.
Do I Look Like a Straw Bag.
Out of these two masked singers,
who will move on to Round Three?
All votes are in.
Hyun Chul, you were so immersed in the song that...
you even took off your glasses.
(Straw Bag's sorrowful voice...)
(made Hyun Chul a man from Autumn.)
How do you expect us to choose?
Why does it have to be so hard before Chuseok?
(Laughing)
When Top Boy was singing at the beginning,
I just thought he sang well.
When he was singing a refrain, his voice changed.
His voice had a bit of air at first...
then changed to a deep voice to reach the high notes.
You said you were expecting to hear his high notes last week.
I don't seem to have heard all of it.
Do you think he hasn't shown everything he has?
He's preparing himself...
to show his ability for Round Three.
How was Straw Bag?
I think he is a musical actor.
He would sing all alone on the stage without anyone else.
- Being in the spotlight? - In the spotlight.
His vibration was very stable throughout the song.
Do people who don't sing well not have consistent vibration?
That's why Young Seok and I don't vibrate our voices whilst singing.
(Why are you mentioning me?)
When Straw Bag was singing,
I was surprised at how comfortably he sang such a hard song.
I thought he was very good at singing.
When he paused for a bit in the middle of the song,
all of us were holding our breath.
You were very good.
It was a great performance.
This was the toughest choice ever since I joined this program.
The two songs gave me different emotions.
Straw Bag made my heart flutter when he was singing.
Even if he's a man, I was wondering...
why my heart was fluttering.
I think he's a good singer with mysterious charms.
Top Boy has a strong voice like a washing line?
What do you mean by "a washing line"?
His strong and firm voice...
spread out far and straight so people at the back even could hear.
His voice is very clear...
and seems to have a pure spirit.
Young Seok said Top Boy is...
good enough to go to Final Match last week.
Do you think the same today as well?
I was thinking a tone of voice makes a masterpiece.
Although he looks unprepared, he is already well prepared.
Although he sings very comfortably, there's a pleasant tension in it.
This kind of song can be dangerous.
Stray Bag expressed different sorrow and agony...
to Lee Seung Chul's way.
He sang as if he were on a large stage like Carnegie Hall.
His level's as good as first class in flight.
His performance was high class and exclusive.
Ironically, he sang gracefully...
with a shabby straw bag on the face.
He's like the character in "The Prince and the Pauper".
- He remains his dignity. - He has...
"dignity".
- What was that? - Come on, Gu Ra.
He shouldn't have done it.
(He sings gracefully.)
"Dignity"
He prolonged the melody in the middle.
- He lengthened the melody. - That's what he did.
He was supposed to shorten it.
While lengthening the melody, girls are bound to leave.
You were not supposed to let her go.
(Singing)
Where are you going? You can't leave now.
While you stretch the melody, you let the girl leave.
That's what a womaniser does.
(Singing)
If you lengthen the melody, you are a womaniser.
If you shorten the melody, you are a person in a rush.
That's what I mean.
Straw Bag is such an amazing singer...
who can attract women's hearts.
What do you think about them, Go Eun?
I'm sure Top Boy is an experienced singer.
As he started singing, he fiddled something at his back.
This thing here at the back.
I find it very sexy to see men doing that while singing.
It felt like he was a macho man in that costume.
I'm sure he has a great amount of experience.
Didn't you find anything from Straw Bag?
Even if he stands still...
What do you keep fiddling with?
- Does he have a speciality? - Yes, he has a speciality.
Straw Bag...
loves dogs so much...
that he's been watching their behaviours carefully.
He's going to show a few actions that dogs do.
First, he will show us what a sensitive dog does.
A sensitive dog...
flops down on the floor.
What's wrong with it?
(How will he express a dog's sensitivity?)
More sensitively.
(Sighing)
That's a human being.
(Laughing)
Next, he will show us a dog whose belly is itchy.
He watched his own dog at home.
He plops down again probably because his belly is itchy.
(Scratching)
It's itchy.
It's so itchy.
Lastly, he will be a hungry dog.
(What are you doing?)
- What? - Food.
(The dog can talk now.)
That's all he got.
(Straw Bag loves dogs.)
Now, I will announce...
the result of the second match of Round Two.
Who will be the winner...
- of this unpredictable match? - Is it a close match?
I'm going to reveal the result of this close match.
(The result will be revealed soon.)
(Top Boy is a great vocalist...)
(who has a sweet voice and charisma.)
(Straw Bag has a warm tone of voice...)
(and makes deep sound.)
Who will be the winner of the match?
The singer who will move on to Round Three is...
- The singer is... - The singer is...
I'm so curious about the result.
(Everyone is paying attention...)
(and tension is filling the air.)
Let's go.
Who will be the winner? Will it be Top Boy or Straw Bag?
Let's see the winner who'll move on to Round Three.
Straw Bag has won.
(Straw Bag is victorious.)
(Some are happy while some are sad.)
(He's very excited.)
Go, Straw Bag.
Straw Bag defeats Top Boy...
and moves on to Round Three.
The final score is 43 to 56. The margin was 13 votes.
The match was such a close-run.
Please go back to your waiting room.
Please give him a round of applause.
(The shocking identity of Top Boy will be revealed soon.)
I'm so dazzled. I can't believe it until now.
I'd like to have fun competing.
King, Straw Bag is coming for you.
(He suddenly gets competitive.)
I'm sorry that we won't see him in the next round.
I will show you who Top Boy is.
Come to the back of the stage.
(You're so cool.)
Why are they so excited?
He already has fans.
I bet he's a rock musician.
Now, Top Boy, please take off your mask.
(Who will he be?)
And reveal your face.
Once he sings high notes,
no one will dare to compete against him.
He's on an express train to King of Mask Singer.
His voice outshone the music of house band.
- You should stop there. - Okay. I'll stop here.
He is very experienced.
Now, Top Boy, please take off your mask...
and reveal your face.
(Oh, my gosh.)
(This can't be true.)
Listen to the crowd cheering.
(Judging from the cheer, he might be famous.)
He is famous.
- He has red hair. - Is he an idol?
He is...
Kim Tae Hyun, the vocalist of Dickpunks.
I knew it.
- He is Kim Tae Hyun. - I knew it.
(She is very shocked.)
(It's nice to meet you.)
I told you.
(Gu Ra and Seung Woo's guess was right.)
He is from a band after all.
Hello, I'm Kim Tae Hyun who sings in a group Dickpunks.
(I'm a singer Kim Tae Hyun.)
(This former indie band has 10 years of singing career.)
(Dickpunks is a punk-rock band that consists of four members.)
(Among them, famous for his sweet voice...)
(is the vocalist of Dickpunks, Kim Tae Hyun.)
(Because of their witty lyrics and melodies,)
(they are very much loved.)
(Kim Tae Hyun has a bright future.)
From Round One,
strategist Yu seemed to have known who he is.
I knew who he was since I live with him,
but I had to make the show fun.
We're so close that he might have felt bad if I hadn't recognised him.
As he sang so well just the way he always does,
- I'm so proud of him. - What is his strength?
First, women fall for him.
Also, his voice is very sonorous.
- His voice is sonorous. - I want to keep listening to him.
You want to keep listening to him.
As a senior, I'd like to ask him a favour.
If an instrument gets broken, you can buy a new one.
But you can't buy your voice once it gets broken.
Take good care of your voice and please sing songs...
of various genres with that wonderful voice.
- Thank you very much. - That's right.
(We support you.)
He filled the stage not with performances he showed as a band...
but only with his voice.
To Kim Tae Hyun of Dickpunks,
please give a round of applause.
(We look forward to listening to your beautiful voice.)
I had fun singing with a mask on.
It felt really different.
People didn't know who I was, and I could sing however I want.
It was so fun.
It was dark inside the mask...
since the mask blocks the lights.
But as I took it off, the surroundings became so bright.
And I thought that like the bright surroundings,
I could grow up again.
That's what I thought.
Mask is such a good tool.
Mask is good.
Do I Look Like a Straw Bag...
defeated Kim Tae Hyun of Dickpunks and moved on to Round Three.
The mysterious music show, King of Mask Singer.
We only have the final stage to become the 38th King of Mask Singer.
The last two singers who were chosen by your unbiased votes...
will come up to the stage again.
Please give them a big hand.
(It's Do I Look Like a Straw Bag and Seok Bong is Scared of the Dark.)
(He looks so confident.)
It's Final Round, Round Three.
I wonder how you feel.
Since I'm on the show, I'd like to be the King of Mask Singer.
(Surprised)
I'll sing with all my heart to become the King of Mask Singer.
He will sing to become the King of Mask Singer.
I'd like to hear from Straw Bag.
I'm so dazzled since I didn't expect this.
I hope to enjoy this stage with all of you,
thinking that this can be my last performance.
You said that you didn't know you'd make it this far.
I guess you don't have the ambition to be the king, then.
Let's give it a try.
You'll take the throne if you can, won't you?
(Hesitating)
- I never say no to an offer. - You never say no to an offer.
Starting from Seok Bong, let's hear your resolution.
I can picture myself sitting on that chair.
Can you?
(I can picture myself sitting on that chair.)
I like Seok Bong.
Straw Bag, how about you?
I won't just sit around.
Okay.
(Oh, my.)
He is so cool.
Even though you are a bag, you won't sit around.
(He speaks so wittily.)
He's setting the frequency.
I can't hear you.
Do you have anything to tell them? A word of advice, maybe?
I tried to tell with humour that I can't hear them.
(Did you say humour?)
(He laughs with embarrassment.)
(He has an awkward sense of humour.)
Your touching performances have moved me so much.
I'll do my best to set up an amazing stage.
You don't care whomever you compete against, do you?
Both of them are daunting anyway.
They are both daunting.
Okay, then.
Let Round Three,
Final Round begin.
Let's see Seok Bong's performance first.
(Seok Bong performs first.)
I'm so excited.
Go, Seok Bong.
Show us what you can do.
He and I both have "Bong" in name, so I feel familiar.
(Tension grows.)
(The stage is dark,)
(and it's time for Seok Bong to show what he can do.)
("Tears" by Flower)
(His voice captures ears.)
(His voice is so clear and beautiful.)
(I love it.)
(The song "Tears" needs more than ordinary talent to be sung.)
(But he sings the song so comfortably...)
(with stable breathing and vocalisation.)
(Seok Bong shows off his true skills.)
(It's an aria.)
(Wow)
(He decides to emphasise the aria part of the original song.)
(It's a dynamic arrangement.)
(He is a talented vocalist who can sing an aria perfectly.)
(I love it.)
(His beautifully charming voice inspires everyone.)
(He is the best.)
(He is amazing.)
(With deep sentimentality,)
(he puts his everything into the song.)
(Absorbed)
(His performance has a great impact on the listeners' hearts.)
(Seok Bong gave a sad and grand performance of "Tears".)
(The audience gives him a big hand.)
(Seok Bong is amazing.)
Seok Bong is amazing.
He is truly amazing.
He did an amazing job.
That was great. He killed 2 birds with 1 stone.
Opposing him...
is a man who beat Kim Jun Seon and Kim Tae Hyun of Dickpunks.
He has a lucky voice that brings a good harvest.
Do I Look Like...
a Straw Bag!
(Do I Look Like a Straw Bag)
(Taking big strides)
(He has manly charms.)
(He is cool.)
His gesture looks so cool.
He held his microphone like this.
Even though he is not my type, I can tell that he is hot.
I hope he gives an explosive performance.
(Everyone's expectation is on the top.)
(What kind of performance will Straw Bag give?)
(His competitors are watching him.)
(Which song will Straw Bag sing?)
("Drunken Truth" by Exhibition)
It's "Drunken Truth". This is amazing.
(He picked the perfect song.)
(The introduction of the song makes women's hearts flutter.)
(Straw Bag moves to the rhythm.)
He knows women so well.
(The first bar is enough to excite the audience.)
(His sweet voice wraps around their ears.)
(Humming)
(The more you listen, the more you fall for his voice.)
(Pointing)
(He has a powerful head voice with manly charms.)
(Wow)
(Straw Bag exudes gentle charisma.)
(He is cool.)
(His voice has deep and solid resonance.)
Saxophone.
(Absorbed)
He is incredible.
(Impressed)
She is in love.
(They fall into Straw Bag's charms.)
(Pointing)
(It's a restrained confession of a man.)
(His voice explodes.)
(His voice makes them exclaim.)
(They are hypnotised by Straw Bag's charming voice.)
(He gives the final statement.)
(Straw Bag's confession of love shakes everyone's heart.)
(It left a lingering impression.)
(Bravo)
(Women form a fan club for Straw Bag.)
He did a great job.
It was amazing.
I loved it.
How did my knot come loose?
Final Round came to an end.
Between the two masked singers,
who will get to compete against...
Hurray Radio?
All votes are in.
King of Mask Singer, you watched the two masked singers sing.
- I enjoyed their performances. - Who do you think will win?
Well...
- It's a difficult question. - Is it?
Both of them did an amazing job. I cannot pick the better one.
Did you undergo a change in attitude...
after listening to their performances?
Compared to earlier,
- I am more nervous now. - Is that so?
- I am very nervous. - You must be feeling the pressure.
- That's right. - Okay.
No matter who wins in this round,
I hope you give the best performance.
Please move to backstage and get ready for Final Match.
Please give him a big hand.
(Good luck, Hurray Radio.)
(We look forward to your performance.)
He will get ready for Final Match.
Hyun Chul, what did you think of the performances in Round Three?
Seok Bong sang "Tears".
It's not an easy song to sing.
From where the aria starts,
all notes are high.
It doesn't drop once.
I saw Ko Yu Jin take deep breaths...
before singing this song.
Seok Bong did an amazing job.
As for Straw Bag,
his performances of "Last Concert"...
and "Drunken Truth"...
felt like a jukebox musical.
But I noticed something...
by watching him carefully.
There is a T on the floor.
The T marks where one should stand.
When he enters the stage, he looks at the T...
and puts his feet on it.
He is standing on it now.
That's why I think...
he is a musical actor who is used performing on the stage.
Musical actors find...
where they need to stand even in complete darkness.
That's where the light falls.
The light creates magical experiences...
on the stage.
I don't think he can hide...
that he is a musical singer.
You think he is a musical singer.
He sang very well.
Jang Hyuk?
First of all,
Seok Bong has a very attractive nasal voice.
He just sang aria in falsetto.
It is not something anyone can do.
I think he took very good care of his energy.
- He is a young man who sings well. - Okay.
He looks like a good-looking young man.
Meanwhile, Straw Bag sounds like a real grown-up.
- A grown-up? - Yes.
He has a very masculine voice.
His song sounds like a confession.
That's why women are so thrilled to hear his voice.
It made me envious.
His voice has an emotional resonance.
I enjoyed his performance very much.
Okay. He seems very impressed.
I think Straw Bag...
caught the panellists off-guard.
As we already know how his voice sounds like,
we know how touching it would be...
when he sings "Drunken Truth".
There was something we didn't expect to see, though.
It is the "saxophone" part.
I didn't see it coming.
(I will tell you I love you)
Saxophone.
(Oh, my.)
(He feels pressure.)
I didn't see it coming.
I was hoping you'd call my name.
Like "Kim Gu Ra".
There was something I didn't expect.
But it went as I expected.
Even so, it moved us more than we expected.
It went mostly as you expected, but it moved you more than that.
For example, Seong Ju...
always say the same thing.
He rarely says things that are spontaneous or particularly funny.
But you don't need people saying something like,
"He is really funny and brilliant", either.
There are some people who hear such things, though.
What I'm saying is that it was predictable, but still touching.
- Are you saying it was good? - Yes, it was good.
Okay. But it doesn't sound nice to me.
No offence. I meant it in a good way.
He meant it in a good way. Do you feel good?
Okay. He feels good.
He feels good because he is a good person.
But you are crooked.
It's a little weird, though.
Young Seok, how did you like their performances?
I know "Tears" is a sad song,
but people say that singers cry...
because it is also a very difficult song to sing.
You can't sing the song well unless you are in your prime.
People would sing this song to show off their singing ability.
To show how good they are.
He's right.
And he just proved that he is as good as the original singer.
Seok Bong is the only person who knows how satisfied it feels.
I enjoyed his singing very much.
It was really thrilling.
I see. Meanwhile, the female panellists looked very excited.
To be honest, Straw Bag made...
the gestures that not all women like.
I agree.
Like this.
- It looked a bit corny. - I know.
And he did it like this.
It was so lame.
But I liked it very much.
When he sang "I love you",
I hoped he was pointing at me.
- It was that good. - You wanted him to point at you.
- Yes. - You liked him that much.
(Go Eun)
(Flattered)
(Yoo A)
(Thrilled)
(What about me?)
Saxophone.
He knows exactly what women like.
So I think Straw Bag is...
(Straw Bag is...)
the master of seducing women.
- The master of seducing women. - He knows well about women.
He is like the master of singing and acting on the stage.
I agree.
- Did you like it? - I loved it.
- The master of seducing women? - Yes.
- I think he is single. - You think he is single.
And I think he has 2 or 3 girlfriends.
- Two or three girlfriends? - Yes. He looks like Casanova.
- Casanova? - Yes.
I felt like we became one when we held each other's hands.
You became one with his song.
We danced together, holding each other's hands.
While Straw Bag sang,
I saw the female panellists...
- sitting in the front. - Okay.
I saw them holding each other's hands.
(We love you, Straw Bag.)
Did you see that?
I was really happy to hear the song.
Dong Geun, what do you think?
As I saw Straw Bag...
winning women's hearts,
I thought I could do the same thing.
(Startled)
Do you want to sing again?
Go ahead.
(You are right)
(I may be drunk)
Saxophone.
It sounded very attractive.
This is why Straw Bag is amazing.
Dong Geun just sang it the same way.
- But he didn't look sexy at all. - That's not true.
That was lame.
Please don't say that.
Can you please show us again?
The "saxophone" part.
Please call my name.
Please say "Kim Gu Ra".
Can you please do it again with Gu Ra's name?
Say "Kim Gu Ra" without voice alteration.
(Humming)
Kim Gu Ra.
That was nice.
I like it. It sounded cool.
Okay. Now, I will announce...
the result of Round Three, Final Round.
We have two masked singers here.
I'll now reveal the winner of this match...
who will move on to Final Match.
(He sang "Tears"...)
(along with the aria part wonderfully.)
(Seok Bong's voice is delicate but powerful.)
(His soft charisma touched people's hearts.)
(He has a gentle and rich voice.)
(Straw Bag has irresistible charms.)
Who will win this match...
and sing against Hurray Radio?
The winner is...
(Delicacy vs charisma)
Who will move on to Final Match?
Who will be the winner?
Whose voice did you like better?
Who is the winner?
Straw Bag wins.
(Straw Bag will move on to Final Match.)
(Let's go, Straw Bag!)
(Don't cry, Seok Bong.)
(Straw Bag will dye the stage gold in Final Match.)
The final score is 62 to 37.
It is 62 to 37.
Please go to the backstage and enjoy the King's performance.
Please give him a round of applause.
(The shocking identity of Seok Bong will be revealed soon.)
I feel happy...
and feel pressured at the same time.
I will just wait and see how it goes.
Let's find out who Seok Bong is then.
Who on earth is he?
He even defeated his mother.
Please move to the rear of the stage.
(Who is Seok Bong then?)
Seok Bong, please take off your mask...
and reveal your face.
He has an attractive nasal voice.
Isn't he Eun Ji Won?
Eun Ji Won?
I think he is a member of H.O.T or Shinhwa.
I felt a thrill listening to your song.
Who is Seok Bong then?
(Who is Seok Bong?)
He is...
(Shocked)
What? Why?
They look very surprised.
He must be popular.
I can't wait. Who is he?
He is...
the main vocal of BTOB, Seo Eun Kwang.
(It is unbelievable.)
Seo Eun Kwang? It was Eun Kwang.
That's right.
He is a great singer.
Hello, I'm the leader and main vocal of BTOB,
Seo Eun Kwang. It's nice to meet you.
(BTOB is one of the most popular idol groups in the country.)
(He is the leader and main vocal of the team.)
(This multiplayer is Seo Eun Kwang.)
In fact, his name has been mentioned a lot in our programme so far.
That's true.
Eun Kwang of BTOB.
I thought he was Seo Eun Kwang of BTOB.
Seo Eun Kwang of BTOB.
Now that you are here, no one ever said your name.
I know. I thought...
Gu Ra would say my name.
- I know. - I thought you were much shorter.
You are taller than I thought.
You have a quite wide voice range.
How high can you hit?
When I feel good, I can sing any high-pitched songs.
Can you really do that?
How do you feel today? You look good.
(He warms up his voice.)
(Forgive me)
(Girl)
Okay.
(You are the best.)
(That was really nice.)
When I heard you singing "Tears",
I thought you were a gifted singer. I'm sure that...
he will become a much better vocalist in a few years.
All right. Today, Eun Kwang showed us...
his great sensibility as a lead vocalist.
Please give him a big round of applause.
Thank you. I'll keep working on my music. Thank you.
Thank you so much.
(Go, Eun Kwang.)
(He looks relieved.)
(Excited)
I feel so relieved now.
I have no regrets about my performance. I'm so glad.
I think you should really sing with your heart.
My role model is Lim Chang Jung.
I want to deliver my emotions to many people as much as possible.
I want to make them cry.
Today may be a new start for me.
This is my first step...
as a vocalist, not as an idol singer.
(The first step as a vocalist)
Today's stage filled me with confidence and passion.
This is the result of Round Three. Do I Look Like a Straw Bag...
defeated Seo Eun Kwang of BTOB and moved on to Final Match.
The mysterious music show, King of Mask Singer.
Now, what remains is I'm Excited Hurray Radio's performance.
What kind of performance has he prepared to achieve his third win?
Please give Hurray Radio a big hand for his performance...
for Final Match that will determine the 38th King of Mask Singer.
(It starts now.)
This is Final Match to determine the 38th King of Mask Singer.
He advances forward with his feisty stage.
A charismatic vocalist with many surprises,
I'm Excited Hurray Radio.
(I'm Excited Hurray Radio)
(His aura of aggressiveness fills the aisle.)
(The King of Mask Singer, Hurray Radio has appeared.)
(Welcome, the King of Mask Singer.)
(He's charismatic.)
(Go, Hurray Radio.)
(We were waiting for you.)
Hurray Radio.
(Did he wear new clothes for today as well?)
(He did.)
He looks good.
What song will he sing?
(At that moment)
Is that a microphone stand?
It's going to be amazing.
(Rock and roll)
Let's go, Hurray Radio.
(Does the microphone stand mean he will sing a rock song?)
(Is he going to bring another storm today?)
(The audience can't wait to see his stage.)
(His competitor must be nervous.)
(What kind of performance has he prepared for today?)
What is this?
("Mirotic" by TVXQ)
(A bluesy melody races through your body.)
(The dizzying temptation he whispers to your ears)
(He is a bad boy...)
(with deadly charms.)
(Sometimes he sounds rough,)
(and sometimes he sounds gentle.)
(It's the devil's temptation...)
(that wakes your desire.)
(You can't escape from his spell.)
(My temptation goes on.)
(His hot and sexy spell)
(I now have you)
(The storm rages.)
(This is what we wanted to hear!)
(The mad spell that feels like sorcery)
(Astonished)
(It was a deadly spell that captured everyone's heart.)
(Hurray Radio's diabolic charm has burst out.)
(It was an electrifying "Mirotic".)
(Hurray Radio!)
(You're the best.)
(Hail to the King of Mask Singer.)
It feels so great.
- What is this? - Is the game set?
Is the game over?
- It's over. - What should I do?
(He's mesmerised by Hurray Radio.)
(They are still applauding him.)
He's the King of Mask Singer indeed.
- This is... - He's the King of Mask Singer.
Because of the King of Mask Singer
Gosh, I feel so refreshed.
(I feel so refreshed.)
Final Match has ended.
Now, it's time for you to make a decision.
Press one for Do I Look Like a Straw Bag,
and press two for I'm Excited Hurray Radio.
This is the last vote to determine the King of Mask Singer.
Who will you choose?
All votes are in.
Now you've watched Hurray Radio's performance.
- Young Seok. What did you think? - Yes.
Hearing his song, I felt like...
my heart has been bombed.
(Bombed?)
It's like a small typhoon with 980 hPa central pressure.
(I knew he would do that.)
It starts to blow up and it looked like...
he stands still at the eye of the typhoon...
and controls the typhoon.
(A strong storm that will blow away the drought...)
(has broken out.)
(Shaking the entire studio,)
(Hurray Radio stands at the centre of the storm.)
(We hope for a bumper harvest this year.)
You said it is a small typhoon.
I guess it wasn't a large one.
- It was small. - Hold on.
- I meant... - Yes.
I'm also looking forward to his performance in the future.
Are you saying he can even get better in the future?
Yes. Since he has the power to control the pressure,
he can stand at the eye of the typhoon and make it a small one...
and sometimes a big one. He's capable of doing that.
Jang Hyuk. What did you think of his performance?
He placed a microphone stand today.
He grabbed it with his left hand...
and stroked it up and down as he sang.
When I hear him singing...
(It melts me down.)
I think he liquefies the music.
As it was like a swirl...
of very bluesy and sticky liquid, I fell into it without realising.
I was floundering in it.
- You couldn't escape it. - Right.
He combined the rhythmical rock...
with a sexy and bluesy style of singing.
It was the best stage.
- It was great. - Both of them can...
sing high notes,
but they sound different, right?
They're contrary to each other.
There are high notes in "Drunken Truth" as well.
Instead of going up like this, it goes up like this.
He raises his voice first...
and then lowers and raises the voice so naturally.
(My awkward words)
(Never again)
Straw Bag has shown us...
a very soft and technical vocal.
On the other hand, Hurray Radio...
set his mind on showing us his power...
by screaming to the fullest.
(His electrifying hard rock shouting...)
(sounded as if he's going to shout his guts off.)
This isn't so much a matter of skill...
as it is a matter of preference. They are very different.
- I choose because I have to. - You are reluctant.
Hyun Chul, how did you like the performance?
Once you become the King of Mask Singer,
I heard that the singer should wear the mask from home...
and in the station at all times...
so that the people from outside...
won't find out his identity.
Now, we can ask this question.
Is he the same man we saw the week before last week?
- He wears the mask all the time. - As he wears the mask every time,
- we don't know if he is... - I haven't even thought about it.
the same person or not.
- When I... - I haven't doubted that.
saw him on stage today,
his gestures were so sexy and decadent.
The gestures made me doubt...
if he's the same person who sang "Love" last week.
I'm very suspicious about that.
He can be a different singer...
with similar height and body structure.
- I mean, this is possible. - That's a total foul.
Also, when he sang "Love" last week,
I imagined his look to be...
crude and unsophisticated.
Now,
- I imagine his face to be so sexy. - His face must be sexy.
He must be such a handsome man.
He is a different person.
Are you the same man?
(How will he prove his identity?)
Check.
How can you prove your identity with it?
He's the same man.
- He's the same man, right? - I'm the same person.
- He did the same thing last week. - I'm the same man.
Okay.
Gu Ra, you look very serious.
He has to show certain things...
as the King of Mask Singer.
He is asked to show a new repertoire...
or a creative rearrangement.
In the first and second Final Matches,
he sang songs that could be heard...
in any ordinary radio stations.
However, this song was from a whole new frequency.
It sounded like a totally new song from a new channel.
The fact that he performed such music...
would have satisfied the audience to a great deal.
It was a match between a familiar song...
and an unfamiliar rearrangement.
I see that the female audience over there...
has fallen in love with Straw Bag.
That's right.
- They are Straw Bag's fans. - They are his fans.
People on that side...
as well as on Straw Bag's side are his fans.
- People on this side are his fans. - Most of them are women.
Most of male audience...
prefer the King of Mask Singer.
I think that the votes on the celebrities' side...
will be very important.
He expected a close-run...
and wondered whom the celebrities might choose. Okay, Go Eun.
- Yes. - When Straw Bag was singing,
you jumped with excitement.
- Yes. - Did you change your mind?
A little. Wait, I didn't change my mind.
Straw Bag, I didn't change my mind.
- First, - You changed a little bit.
You did hesitate.
The king was so sexy.
Now that I see you...
face to face,
- You are being weird. - You didn't see his face.
- We have more than 100 people here. - I felt as though...
I'm with him alone.
(I'm with him alone in my world.)
As I was watching their performance,
I felt that the match is like the battle of ultimate beings.
His mask has thunders...
as well as star shapes.
He looked like Zeus who captivates women.
That's the impression I had for him.
As for Straw Bag,
he looked like...
warm-hearted Apollo to me.
I'm so excited to see the result of this match.
There's a saying, "Woman is as fickle as a reed".
- You can't make up your mind. - It really is like a reed.
- Of course. - Yoo A, are you hesitating, too?
In a way,
Straw Bag's performance...
was very much in order. And when we felt deficiency,
Hurray Radio was there to fulfil it.
I felt so nice and relieved.
Did they feel like a good and a bad student?
I won't say he's a bad student...
although he definitely seemed to know...
how to have fun.
He seemed like a hard-working student.
- They are both charming. - They are both charming,
but I prefer a man...
- All right. - who knows how to have fun.
Women's vote is of much importance.
I love rock music so much,
and I couldn't help wondering...
what his facial expression under the mask would be.
It felt as though...
he was absorbed in music so much...
Fall in love with my smiling face
- That's amazing. - Isn't that the face of a zombie?
Are you really 24 years old?
I wanted to say that...
- he's the Bon Jovi of Korea. - Bon Jovi.
He's Bon Jovi of Korea.
(Bon Jovi is a legendary American hard rock band...)
(that sold more than 130 million records.)
I respect him for the energy he showed.
- I see. - Also, Straw Bag...
summoned saxophone.
(It was a cool scene.)
Saxophone.
(Oh, gosh.)
(This is it.)
I loved his romanticism.
I'll try to be a better singer.
- Thank you. - You learn so much during the show.
Strategist Yu,
- you stood up to enjoy the show. - I did.
You loved it, didn't you?
I think both of them sang so well...
in their own ways.
Straw Bag sang as if he's telling a story,
while Hurray Radio sang like a rock musician.
As for me,
the fact that I could hear hard rock in a competition...
felt totally new.
I enjoyed the moment so much.
One thing I'm worried about is...
that you might think...
hard rock isn't a popular genre.
If you look at Korean music chart,
- you'll find from number 1 to 10... - He has broad perspective.
sweet songs...
that are easy on ears.
- That's the only thing I'm worried. - Strategist Yu...
- But I loved your performances. - seems like...
a little shaman.
- Are you a shaman? - He was very analytic.
He said that as the genre isn't popular,
he might lose.
When we talk about rock music, we should never rule him out.
Although he represents minority.
- I'm worried. - Are you?
Why? What are you worried about?
You know that my taste is...
not after the mainstream.
I loved Hurray Radio's performance so much.
I loved the way he whispers "open" like a devil.
Right, with a face like this.
Or the way he sings "that's all right"...
with a smirk of sneer.
He used so many rock techniques...
where the singer sings perversely.
The style started from the Rolling Stones...
and is inherited by Marilyn Manson.
However, it's not popular.
When Kim Ba Da sang "Crooked",
and when Lee Sung Woo sang "A Flower Yet To Bloom",
I felt that...
the Korean rock musicians can sing perversely as well.
And today, Hurray Radio...
Therefore, I want to say...
that he fascinated me.
That's what I wanted to say.
I don't know about the result.
(Hurray Radio's performance captivated Yoon Seok.)
We have to encourage this kind of challenge.
Only when many people think like Yoon Seok,
he can win consecutive victories.
That's what I'm worried about.
If his opinion can't represent majority,
we may have a new King of Mask Singer.
The mysterious music show, King of Mask Singer.
It's Final Match to choose the 38th King of Mask Singer.
I'll announce the result now.
Which one of the masked singers...
have your unbiased minds choose?
Also,
whom did most of the female audience choose?
The owner of the throne,
the 38th King of Mask Singer...
will be revealed now.
(The winner will be revealed now.)
(His voice is grand and elegant.)
(He heralded the beginning of an epic in Round One.)
(His voice has a gentle resonance.)
(He sang the song so plaintively.)
(His sensibility, depth and voice were perfect.)
(He captivated the female audience in no time.)
(So addictive and irresistible...)
(is Hurray Radio's incantation.)
(The formidable seduction...)
(makes people fall for him.)
The 38th King of Mask Singer...
that you've chosen...
is...
(King of Mask Singer)
- I'm so nervous. - The winner is...
Please.
(They are all so nervous.)
The winner is...
(Tension is growing.)
(Will Hurray Radio...)
(keep the throne?)
(Or will Straw Bag win the panellists' hearts?)
Who is the 38th King of Mask Singer?
Will Hurray Radio win three consecutive times?
Or will Straw Bag become the new King of Mask Singer?

(Shouting)
This is incredible.
(Sing until the day you become the golden singer.)
Hurray Radio succeeded in taking three consecutive wins.
(How incredible!)
The final score is 71 to 28.
With a big difference in votes,
Hurray Radio beat Straw Bag.
He defended his throne once again.
We will deliver Golden Mask and King's Robe.
He overcame another obstacle.
He had a tough opponent today.
Give him a round of applause.
(Congratulations, King of Mask Singer.)
Please tell us how it feels to take three consecutive wins.
I thought I would get used to performing on the show.
However, I become more nervous every time I come back.
I want to show amazing things...
on the stage.
I am already looking forward to the next performance.
I will return the favour with a nice performance.
Thank you.
(I will return the favour with a nice performance.)
Hurray Radio became the 38th King of Mask Singer.
For security reasons, he will now exit the stage.
Give Hurray Radio a big round of applause.
(The shocking identity of Straw Bag will be revealed soon.)
King of Mask Singer is a programme...
that makes my heart beat.
However, being here is a very nerve-wracking experience.
To be honest,
I feel like my life is becoming shorter.
This is your chance...
to give final remarks before you take off your mask.
I am glad to have received a lot of love today.
I want to talk with more ease after I take off the mask.
All right. Let's talk after you take off your mask.
Let's talk after you take off your mask.
(It is our wish.)
Let's find out who Straw Bag is.
Please go to the back and get ready.
(Who is Straw Bag?)
Now, Straw Bag, please take off your mask...
and reveal your face.
Listening to him sing makes my heart beat faster.
He is like a groomed forest. There is nothing out of place.
I think he is a musical actor who is used performing on the stage.
Neither one of them is a musical actor.
He can sing very well.
It was splendid.
Please take off your mask and reveal your face.
(My goodness)
(This is incredible.)
He is...
- What is it? - Who is he?
He must be famous.
Everyone seems to recognise him.
- He is handsome. - Who is he?
He must be handsome.
He is...
a popera singer, Kai.
It's Kai.
(Is this a dream?)
I thought he was Kai.
- It's Kai. - Kai.
(He is handsome.)
Kai the popera singer was Straw Bag.
Hello, I am popera singer Kai.
(He majored in classical singing.)
(He is a genius who took an elite education.)
(In 2011, he released a song called "Name of Love".)
(It ranked first in a popera chart.)
(He debuted as a musical singer through "Story of My Life" in 2011.)
(He shows his charms in a variety of genres.)
(Crossover musician, Kai)
He performed in a mask.
You received votes and love from the audience.
It feels good, right?
I was very surprised to receive a great number of love.
Whenever someone sang in the style of classical singing,
my name came up among the panellists.
It meant to me that I made a name for myself as a singer.
It made me very happy.
I am delighted to say hello through King of Mask Singer.
All right.
(I am melting.)
Kai, you were recognised...
as a talented rookie in the classical singing scene.
We don't know what your classical singing is like.
Would you give us a sample of you classical singing?
(This is exciting.)
All right.
("Nessun Dorma" from "Turandot")
(There is a deep resonance that shakes the soul.)
(I will win)
(Everyone is exhilarated.)
(Wow)
(Screaming)
(I am in tears.)
(Words cannot describe how amazing it was.)
- My goodness. - He sang nicely.
- He is in tears. - This man is crying.
- He is crying. - He is crying again.
This man is crying.
He is crying again.
He started sobbing as soon as he heard Kai's voice.
(The first bar...)
(had him in tears.)
I was so startled.
It's a genre...
he is the best at.
Thank you.
It was refreshing...
and touching.
He is so cool.
- He is an amazing singer. - He really is.
He sang songs of many genres...
and gave us high-end performances.
Please give a big hand to the popera singer, Kai.
(Thank you for amazing songs.)
(My goodness)
I'm so relieved.
I think people should take...
classical singing less seriously.
It was pop music of the era.
Don't think of it as something hard.
I hope people will find me...
more approachable as well.
Then, I will sing comfortably in the future...
as if I am wearing a mask.
