Last week...
was King of Mask Singer's Christmas Special.
I love you!
Performances were filled...
with Christmas spirits and laughter.
On top of that,
we were surprised to see several faces we've missed.
However, today...
(Happy New Year!)
Four powerful masked singers...
aiming for the first crown of 2017 await us.
Our Town Is in Snow District, White City.
Mrs. Kettle Has Boiled.
Defense Corps Member, Dessert Man.
Mysticist Baby Angel.
Last but not least.
(The performance made panelists' hearts flutter.)
(The performance was praised glowingly.)
With his dreamlike voice, Tin Man with a Burning Heart,
the 43rd, 44th, 45th King of Mask Singer,
aims for the fourth winning streak.
According to the online mobile survey,
netizens' expectation for the 46th King of Mask Singer is...
Tin Man.
Baby Angel came in second.
(As expected, it's a close match from Round Two.)
(Are they geniuses with shocking talents?)
The contenders have started to reveal their true colors.
Will Tin Man be able to earn his fourth victory?
The battle to win the honor of...
becoming the first king of 2017 begins now!
(King of Mask Singer)
Like the bright sun opening the new year of 2017,
we hope to bring you happiness with cheerful music.
Before we begin the show,
we would like to wish our viewers a happy new year.
All together, please. Viewers!
- We wish you a happy new year. - We wish you a happy new year.
Thank you.
Happy new year to you all, as well.
I wish you a healthy year.
I wish you a year filled with happiness.
Representing the panelists,
please give us your new year blessings, Gu Ra.
As we all know, last year ended in chaos.
Now that the new year has come,
I hope we can cheer up...
and make a fresh new start.
- Also, stay healthy. Thank you. - Thank you, Gu Ra.
(We wish 2017 to be a year full of happiness.)
Now, for the second hurdle towards becoming the 46th king,
let us begin the first match of Round One!
(Who will become the first king of the new year?)
Let's begin the first match in Round Two, Semi-finals.
She won against Comedian Heo Kyung Hwan...
with her beautiful tone, which is clear as white snow.
Our Town Is in Snow District, White City.
(Here comes the lead singer representing our town.)
(Modest)
(How beautiful!)
It's her.
I remember how well she did.
She's such a mystery.
(Her clear voice freely hit high notes.)
(The skillful, harmonious and refreshing voice)
(She has skillful technique using her chest voice and falsetto.)
(She may be an actress with a beautiful voice.)
(She showed Kim Hyun Jung's dance right away.)
(Pleased)
(A perfect revival of the choreography of the old days)
(She's not young, for sure.)
(Possibly in her 30s or 40s?)
(Is she a teenage idol?)
(There are many opinions on who she may be.)
(The panelists become even more curious in Round Two.)
(What song will Our Town sing at the start of the New Year?)
("Star" by Yumi)
Is she going to sing Yumi's song?
("Star" by Yumi)
(She sings with her clear voice in a low whisper.)
(This is good.)
(It's about the pain she couldn't tell anyone.)
(She seems to know how painful it is not to show her feelings outside.)
(She is good.)
(She expresses her sentiment with her mature voice.)
(Even if he can't be mine,)
(I will smile.)
(I was happy staying with him even for a moment.)
(She hits the high notes with a smooth voice.)
(Her voice soothes the audience.)
It was very nice.
I really like it.
(I like it.)
(I like it, too.)
(Her voice echoes through the stage quietly but powerfully.)
(All the happy memories with you...)
(I will cherish them.)
(Her sentiment deepens.)
(I will keep on smiling even when I'm hurt.)
(Our Town's "Star" is like lights of twinkling stars pouring down us.)
(It was very touching.)
- I really like it. - She's good.
- It was amazing. - Who is she?
- I liked it very much. - She's so good.
I've never heard of the voice.
It was great.
Her opponent is...
a singer with a sweet voice who beat Byeon Woo Min.
His voice is as sweet as honey.
Defense Corps Member, Dessert Man.
(Defense Corps Member, Dessert Man)
(You'd need a lot of sweetness at the end of the year.)
(I will give it to you for the New Year.)
(How sweet.)
(She needs it urgently.)
Come quickly.
- He's great, too. - I like his voice.
Can't wait.
It won't be easy to choose one.
(With his pure and delicate voice,)
(Dessert Man expressed sorrow and loneliness.)
(It makes people want to listen carefully even to his breath.)
(He has a beautiful voice.)
(If he stays in top shape,)
(he may become the King of Mask Singer.)
(But his specialty was...)
(too plain and simple.)
(Is he one of the popular new singers?)
(Is he Sung Jin Hwan of Sweet Sorrow?)
(Or is he a young singer-songwriter?)
(It's the afternoon of New Year's Day.)
(What song is Dessert Man going to sing...)
(to light a fire...)
(in the panelists' hearts?)
("Farewell Taxi" by Kim Yeon Woo)
I love this song.
(A calm voice)
I love his breathing.
(He lets out his voice with a nonchalant air.)
(It shows the depth of his sensibility.)
(I like the song.)
(His voice melts...)
(into people's hearts like bittersweet chocolate.)
(He says goodbye calmly.)
(It makes the song sound even sadder.)
(He sees her reflection in rainwater,)
(but now he has to let her go.)
(Where should I go now?)
(His broken love has nowhere to go.)
It is heartbreaking.
(Letting out a sigh)
(House Band)
(He pretends not to know her,)
(but his love has been a part of his life.)
(He sings in a calm tone, which makes the song even sadder.)
(He fights back his tears.)
(Would I be able to forget if I run in the rain?)
(The panelists' hearts are touched...)
(by Dessert Man's sentimentality.)
(No one will know if it's tear or rain)
(Restrained pain of a breakup, "Farewell Taxi" by Dessert Man)
(My heart aches.)
(Stunned)
I feel like I was in another world.
I think my heart aches.
(Me, too.)
The first match of Round Two came to an end.
Press one for Our Town Is in Snow District, White City.
Press two for Defense Corps Member, Dessert Man.
Press the button for a masked singer...
who moved your heart.
All votes are in.
Kai, what did you think of their performances?
Our Town's voice sparkles...
like the song she chose.
The stars you see in the countryside...
are different from those you see in the city.
They are clear and pure.
Her voice shines brightly like a star.
I think she is a singer who can sing very well.
Last week, you thought she was an actress.
If she is an actress,
she should change professions.
- I see. - She can be both.
He is right. Many people have two professions these days.
She has an incredible talent in singing.
With the song Dessert Man chose, it's easy to go overboard...
if you don't have years of experience.
He carried his sincerity in a calm manner.
He gave us a nice performance that wasn't overly dramatic.
All right. Seung Woo, you said last week...
that Dessert Man has skills to be the King of Mask Singer.
Dessert Man delivers each word of the lyrics...
in a way that touches the heart. I almost shed tears.
Our Town sings well without wavering once.
She seems to have a strong foundation.
I believe both of them...
Maybe I shouldn't say that.
- Do you have an idea? - Who are they?
The person I am thinking is very young.
How old are you thinking?
- Late teenage years to early 20s. - Really?
She sang with great finesse to be that young.
Since she is very comfortable on the stage,
I thought she might be a musical singer...
who has had a lot of performances.
- She showed great finesse. - That's right.
This program fights against bias.
- That's right. - "Farewell Taxi".
Kim Yeon Woo sang the song, but Yoon Jong Shin wrote the lyrics.
Yoon Jong Shin is an impressive musician,
but I have worked with him for 10 years on "Radio Star".
He has mocked and laughed at me...
a thousands of times.
That's why it's impossible for me to enjoy his songs.
- I have been traumatized. - I see.
If the lyrics went, "Where should we go, Sir?"
I would imagine Jong Shin saying, "Do you not have taxi fare?"
However, he helped me get over the trauma today.
- Really? - I was immersed in his performance.
His outfit is reminiscent of a taxi driver, too.
(It's the style of a taxi driver.)
It looks like the ribbon is from a taxi company.
- It's for a special event. - Yes.
In "200 Pounds Beauty",
Kim Ah Joong sang while she was looking at Joo Jin Mo.
Our Town sang while she was looking at the throne...
with determination to sit there one day.
I think that was the thought in her head...
- when she sang. - She sang with ambition.
These two masked singers sang the best songs.
Their vibration, volume of voice, and pronunciation...
weren't excessive.
When artists go overboard,
it's hard for the audience to remember the song.
They sang in a way that made the songs shine...
even if it overshadowed them.
Last week, you said Dessert Man...
might be Sung Jin Hwan of Sweet Sorrow.
- That's what you said. - I still believe it.
- That's what I believe, too. - I see.
Seung Woo keeps saying that Dessert Man is young,
but I don't think it's possible for a young singer...
to display such deep emotions in a controlled way.
I believe Dessert Man is an experienced singer.
As for Our Town, I have never heard a voice like hers.
It was so strange to see her find balance...
with such a clear voice.
It was very shocking. Her voice will be...
- a national treasure in the future. - I see.
I had help from Seung Woo, the strategist.
Who is Our Town?
(Here is my guess.)
(Really?)
If Seung Woo's prediction...
on her identity is correct,
she must be a teenage girl with ups and downs in life...
who learned to express them through music.
If she grew up happily,
she is a genius.
I see. Now,
we will see their specialties.
Dessert Man prepared a dance.
It's Cute and Oily Dance.
Music, please.
(How are the shy Dessert Man's dancing skills?)
What kind of a twist will there be?
(He bounces cutely.)
How cute!
(I am cute, right?)
It looks like children's dance.
(Fresh and cheerful)
(His dance is full of cute acts.)
So far, it has been a cute dance.
(The music changes.)
My goodness.
(Body roll)
The dance turned pretty oily.
(I will let myself go.)
(Is he imitating an octopus?)
(Laughing)
(He gives Oily Dance up.)
(I am embarrassed for him.)
He didn't show Oily Dance properly.
Show us Oily Dance.
- It's not oily enough. - Everything was cute.
I want to know if Seung Woo can do the dance.
Of course he can.
Seung Woo can do it.
- Of course he can. - That's nice.
We will play music for Seung Woo, the strategist.
- Music, please. - Dance in a cute way.
Dance in a cute way. There you go.
(I can dance cutely.)
He is doing well.
My goodness.
(He is naturally lovely.)
How cute!
How pretty! He is lovely.
The music will change. There you go.
There you go.
Give it a twist.
Seung Woo needs a transformation.
Seung Woo.
You have become quite crafty.
Our Town prepared a magic trick.
It's difficult to show a magic trick while wearing a mask.
Which magic trick did you prepare?
I will change white tissue paper.
You will change white tissue paper into something else.
She is holding white tissue paper.
She will use it for her magic trick.
She ripped it into pieces. Now...
- I am afraid of fire. - Okay.
Would you throw fire into that thing?
Should I throw fire into that thing?
Light a match and throw it into that thing.
Dessert Man, keep a close watch.
Light a match.
There you go. Throw it into the thing.
What was that?
No, it's not that.
- You should have thrown it. - Please throw it.
You wanted us to throw it.
(Good luck.)
(Seong Ju lights a match this time.)
I will throw it.
(The fire disappeared in a second.)
(Closing the lid)
- She needs oil from your nose. - Oil.
(She collects oil from Seong Ju's nose.)
- Oil. - Oil.
Oil. She must have added something.
The lid was covered.
What will come out of it?
(What did the white tissue paper change into?)
(Expectant)
(Ta-da)
(It changed into a dove.)
(That's incredible.)
(He is amazed.)
- That's incredible. - I am amazed.
There must have been something in the bottom of the container.
I can see the bottom of the container.
Is the dove made out of rubber?
- It's not moving. - The dove is alive.
- It's alive. - Really?
Please give her a round of applause.
That was incredible.
Our Town, from the look of your magic trick,
I don't think it was necessary...
to throw the match into the bin.
It looks cooler that way.
I see. It looks cooler that way.
(She is hilarious.)
- I will give a minority opinion. - A minority opinion.
Judging by her skills in high notes, falsetto,
and specialty of a magic trick,
I think she is a musical singer.
I was reminded of Kim So Hyun.
(Kim So Hyun is a musical singer with many talents.)
(Is Our Town Kim So Hyun?)
- Kim So Hyun? All right. - Yes.
Now, I'll announce the result of...
- I'm so curious. - the first match...
of Round Two, Semi-finals.
Our Town has a pure and unaffected voice.
Dessert Man has a deep and emotional voice.
Who is the winner of this match?
Let's see the result.
(Her pure and clear voice captivated the audience.)
(Our Town's voice has a calm, but powerful resonance.)
(With a sorrowful and emotional voice,)
(Dessert Man made everyone feel sad.)
Between Our Town and Dessert Man,
the winner is...
- The winner is... - The winner is...
Who will it be?
This is a tough match.
(We can't wait to see. Who is it?)
(The nip-and-tuck match to become the king)
(Who will get closer to becoming the King of Mask Singer?)
(Will they keep Our Town?)
(Or will they defend Dessert Man?)
Let's see the winner of this match.
The winner is...
Dessert Man won.
Dessert Man is the winner.
(We get to eat more dessert.)
(My goodness.)
(Dessert Man moves on to Round Three.)
(Unbelievable)
(Dessert Man captured the panelists' hearts.)
Dessert Man is the winner.
(The score is 34 to 65.)
He defeated Our Town with a score of 65 to 34.
The male vocalist, Dessert Man, won this match.
Now, please go back to your waiting room.
Please give him a big hand.
(The identity of Our Town will be revealed soon.)
I was hoping to win, but I didn't actually expect to win.
I'm grateful that I get to sing again in the next round.
I will do my best.
Wait for me, King of Mask Singer!
(He moves on to Round Three.)
Let's find out who Our Town is.
Who could she be?
Please come to the back.
Now, please take off your mask...
and reveal your face.
(She shocked the panelists...)
(with her rare and valuable voice.)
(She was relaxed and stable on stage.)
(Does she have much experience being on stage?)
(Is she a talented singer with solid basic skills?)
Please take off your mask, and reveal your face.
(What did I just see?)
Who is it?
What is it?
What's going on?
They're so surprised.
I can't tell who she is.
- She is... - Who is it?
Yu Yeon Jung, a member of I.O.I, a group that debuted two years ago...
and also the vocalist of WJSN.
She's so young.
I can't believe this.
I knew she was an idol singer.
(His jaw drops.)
Seung Woo accurately guessed who she was.
- Is that so? - His guess was right on the nose.
Please say hello to the viewers.
Yes, I love it. Would you like?
Hello. I am...
Yu Yeon Jung, a member of I.O.I and WJSN.
(She's a member of I.O.I, the project group.)
(She's a fresh and lovely singer.)
(At the same time, she's a member of WJSN.)
(The way she sings the high notes is so refreshing.)
(She's also a charming simpleton.)
(She has a lovely smile and a great singing ability.)
Yeon Jung, you're working as a member of...
- WJSN. - Yes.
But you became popular as a member of I.O.I, right?
Yes. That's why...
people think of me as Yeon Jung of I.O.I,
or the one from "Produce 101", rather than Yeon Jung of WJSN.
That's how most people see me.
I decided to come to this show...
to let people know...
who I am.
I see.
Her age really surprised me.
That's right. I should tell you how old she is.
She's 18 years old.
- She was born in 1999? - My gosh.
- In 1999? - Yes. I was born in 1999.
- She was born in 1999. - That means...
I entered college in 1999.
Good for you.
- I started college in 1988. - Anyway, she's so young.
When Bong Sun entered college in 1999,
Yeon Jung was born.
I.O.I has a lot of members...
- and WJSN has many members as well. - Yes.
This was my first time...
to sing on stage alone.
- Is that so? - Yes.
That's why we didn't recognize her voice.
I wanted to challenge myself and show you something new.
The way she talks doesn't sound like an 18-year-old girl.
- She sounds very mature. - Right.
She sounds different from ordinary girls in her age.
I was worried that I'd answer poorly,
so I thought about what you might ask...
and memorized the answers.
So you practiced answering our questions?
Yes. I memorized the answers in the waiting room.
I thought I'd answer poorly if I didn't practice.
- I see. - Okay.
Wan Kyu said that...
your voice will be a national treasure in the future.
- You must've been happy. - It was such a great compliment.
- I was so happy. - I hope you voice never changes.
- Thank you. - Your voice is...
You said today was your first time to give a solo performance, right?
- Yes. - Yes.
I hope I can hear it more often.
- Thank you. - He's right.
Also, her voice sounds beautiful even when she talks.
She sounds like a news anchor.
She's gifted with the vocal cords...
that make a beautiful sound. I hope she'll develop...
her beautiful voice...
and become a great singer who is considered as a diva.
I think I've heard enough compliments for the whole year.
Yes. All right.
Today, we could see...
her limitless potential.
It was Yeon Jung of WJSN. Please give her a big hand.
- Thank you. - Go, Yeon Jung!
(We'll look forward to your songs.)
You'll be great.
(Yes! It's finally over.)
It was fun.
My mind went blank when I was singing because I was so nervous.
But now, I'm sorry it's over.
WJSN will release a new album soon.
We're going to work hard.
Please look forward to it.
I love you.
This is the result of Round Two.
Defense Corps Member, Dessert Man defeated Yu Yeon Jung of WJSN...
and moved on to Round Three.
The second match of Round Two, Semi-finals.
She defeated Kim Se Heon of Eve...
with her passion burning like fire.
Mrs. Kettle Has Boiled.
(She walks in with light steps.)
(Mrs. Kettle has come back.)
(She looks elegant.)
I'm really curious about her.
I really want to know who she is.
I have no idea who she is.
I have no clue on Mrs. Kettle's identity.
Let's go!
(With her beautiful voice that goes up straight,)
(Mrs. Kettle showed off her great singing ability.)
(Maybe she's a lead vocalist of a band.)
(Is she an indie musician?)
(Is she a solo singer who has a beautiful figure and sings well?)
(She can dance to Sistar's song.)
(She can dance, but he thinks she's a bit old.)
(She used to be one of the spoiled young people?)
You mean the X Generation?
(Did she work as a singer around the same time as Hyun Jung?)
(The warm-up is done.)
(Now it's time to enjoy her boiling hot performance.)
(All eyes are on her right now.)
(She even makes the king nervous.)
(What kind of stage did she prepare for Round Two?)
(The introduction sounds strange yet familiar.)
The introduction makes me excited.
(The introduction brings expectations.)
("Bruise" by Kim Hyun Jung)
Hyun Jung, it's your song.
What? Is it my song?
("Bruise" by Kim Hyun Jung)
(Her voice sounds refreshing.)
I love her voice.
(This is great.)
(Her straightforward singing feels liberating.)
(It's exciting.)
(Mrs. Kettle's energy begins to heat up.)
(With the powerful original song and her consummate skills,)
(she heats up the studio.)
(They say women can change.)
(It's Mrs. Kettle's boiling hot stage.)
(This stage brings her and Hyun Jung together.)
(Impressed)
(Turn it back)
(Her powerful spirit hidden behind her femininity)
(Her strong shouting makes people's hearts flutter.)
(Everyone is overwhelmed with her energetic performance.)
(Thank you.)
(She sang "Bruise" with her burning charisma as hot as 100°C.)
(You're amazing, Mrs. Kettle.)
She killed it.
- Her vocal range seems limitless. - I agree.
She's suddenly changed.
Can a singer be brave enough to sing this song in front of Kim Hyun Jung?
- Why not? - Sure.
Her opponent defeated...
the soccer player, Ji So Yun.
His voice is like a black hole that people sink into his song.
It's Mysticist Baby Angel.
(Mysticist Baby Angel)
(He walks like a baby.)
(Here comes the cutie of this area.)
(Everyone's heart flutters.)
(His soft and sweet voice...)
(reaches warmly to people's hearts.)
(He has an amazing singing technique.)
(He's definitely a professional.)
(He might be a main vocalist of a group.)
(Not to mention about his singing,)
(he's even good at dancing.)
(He's good at both singing and dancing.)
(Niel thinks he's an idol singer.)
He's extraordinary.
(It's hard to express his charisma.)
(Which song will he sing...)
(to resonate panelists' souls?)
("Don't Leave Me" by Park Jin Young)
(What is this song?)
(It's "Don't Leave Me".)
(His soft and smooth voice melts within the bright rhythms.)
(Dancing)
(His rhythmical voice...)
(makes people dance.)
(But I'm fine)
(I know)
(Shall we jump?)
(He shakes his body.)
(He flutters.)
(His rhythmical dance shows how cheerful he is.)
(He dances sexily.)
Go, go, go.
(He shows a random dance.)
(He's amazing at both singing and dancing.)
(He overwhelms the audience with his fantastic performance.)
(Even though he danced hard, it never affects his voice.)
(He sings high notes amazingly.)
Hey!
(He can't hide his explosive energy.)
(The audience is heated up.)
(He's excited.)
(He dances excitingly.)
(I'm telling you once more)
(His classy stage manner catches the audiences' eyes.)
(Please don't leave me)
(Everyone has fun together.)
(His amazing high notes reach to the sky.)
Oh, baby
(He dances sexily.)
Jump, jump, jump.
(The stage heats up with his powerful energy.)
(The panelists put full of smiles on their faces.)
(Baby Angel made it!)
(Cheering)
(Everyone gives him hearty cheers.)
He's flying.
(Bravo)
Why is he so good at dancing?
- Fantastic! - He's amazing.
Wow, you're flying.
(He's so amazing.)
- He seems like an idol star. - He definitely is.
The second match of Round Two is finished.
Which one did you feel more attractive...
between these two?
All votes are in.
Kai, you look so happy.
You must be very satisfied with the performance.
Yes, I guess everyone here is...
satisfied with that performance. As for Baby Angel,
he sang perfectly...
even though he was both singing and dancing.
I think both his physical strength...
and singing ability are outstanding.
He gave off his charm perfectly...
to the audience.
I also enjoyed it very much. As for Mrs. Kettle,
I think she hit the ceiling with her lid very well.
She has that fundamental skills...
in singing with her powerful voice.
I think that's how she sang...
Kim Hyun Jung's amazing song "Bruise" wonderfully.
That's what I think.
I'm not sure about this.
Isn't it daring to sing "Bruise" in front of you, the original singer?
Do you think she's a singer?
I think she's the one who enjoys singing this song like me.
She seems very familiar with this song.
I think that's why...
she was able to sing this song...
- with that powerful energy. - Watching her sing that song...
perfectly like Hyun Jung, it reminded me of the fairy tale...
called "The Prince and the Pauper".
Why is that?
It's exactly like that story. They look the same...
- so they exchange their clothes. - Yes, since they look alike.
What I meant was that...
she sang it...
- as perfectly as you. - Right.
In this kind of situation, don't you normally use words...
like twins or doppelganger?
It's been a long time seeing you. It was nice meeting you.
- It's a dad joke, isn't it? - Right.
- That's what I am. - It's been a long time.
- But he called her the pauper. - What I meant was...
- It's a dad joke. - that song is a masterpiece.
Why do you always shout at me?
Because you are there when I am shouting.
"Because you are there when I am shouting."
Since they sang in a fast tempo in a row,
everyone was excited. You were sweating a lot, Young Seok.
- I must have been sweating for it. - Right.
As for Mrs. Kettle,
since her song was very powerful,
I felt so relieved.
Her voice was stable and mature.
As for Baby Angel, Round One...
(He sang powerfully.)
(Bells might be frightened.)
(I feel nervous.)
You were going easy in Round One.
(Thumbs up)
You change depending on the competitor.
You mean he didn't go overboard, don't you?
His breathing became longer.
Since the competitor is strong, he showed his ability more.
(I'm the angel of this area.)
What kind of angel is that meticulous?
- He's truly talented. - Is he?
I'll look forward to your next stage.
(Baby Angel has a bright future.)
- Great. - He wasn't trying only to show off.
- He was enjoying himself as well. - I see.
If he keeps showing this kind of performances,
he can become the King of Mask Singer as many times as he wants.
As long as he enjoys himself.
What is he saying?
As for Mrs. Kettle,
a prelude for "Bruise" was pretty long...
However, she kept on holding...
the microphone from beginning.
(She's ready to sing.)
She's holding the microphone near her mouth.
(Why is she doing that?)
In my opinion, she is not...
a singer in genres of dance, idol,
and ballads.
I think she's a rocker.
Ballad singers tend to put down the microphone to look cool.
(This singer-songwriter tries to look cool.)
Dance singers put down the microphone since they have to dance.
However, rockers tend to...
keep on holding the microphone preparing to sing.
I saw that behavior from her.
If she's a rocker, who do you think she is?
(A rocker...)
(He has no idea.)
I'm not sure.
She didn't seem to show off her dance skills.
When I compared Baby Angel's performance...
with Park Jin Young's,
his dance is more rough.
Is it different?
(Gentle versus tough)
(We're worried that his hips might get dislocated.)
I don't understand why he needed to dance like that.
This version of the dance is more adorable.
As he was reborn,
- his aim is to go there. - I see.
As it's a short distance, he can fly over.
- You're right. - Right?
He can fly around freely.
Even his mask...
- is panelist-friendly. - Is it?
Doesn't he look like Yu Young Seok?
He looks like Yu Young Seok?
(Their smiles look similar.)
- Right? - There are similarities.
- Right? - I'll cheer for you.
(Good luck, my other self.)
It's not easy to sing and dance at the same time.
I sing and dance on stage at the same time.
It's quite difficult.
But his breathing was stable.
He also managed to sing the high notes with ease.
I really admired him.
Do you think he's an idol singer?
Gu Ra keeps saying he isn't an idol singer.
I am perfectly certain that he is an idol singer.
I think his dance was impromptu.
He danced because he was enjoying himself.
He danced because he was excited.
He don't think he thought "I should do this dance move here."
What's wrong with your voice?
Well, that was...
It's just his inner voice.
Once he enjoys himself...
- without being nervous, - There's no match for him.
- Nobody. - no one can beat him.
All right. Let's see Baby Angel's specialty.
When we turn on the music,
he will show his cuteness.
Are you ready? Start the music.
(We're all curious of how cute he would be.)
(He shoots his cuteness.)
(Oh, my.)
(He shoots his cuteness again.)
(Beaming)
(To the panelists,)
(he shoots automatically.)
(They're immune to his cuteness.)
What is that?
(It's not working.)
(He's showing his cuteness at the front.)
(There's a person copying him from behind.)
(Kissing)
(Falling)
(I'm cute.)
This is it.
(Baby Angel is the cutest.)
Well, as he was dancing,
Mrs. Kettle was staring at him.
She must have been wondering what he was doing.
"I'm the woman here."
Mrs. Kettle.
Why were you staring?
- I need to be cuter. - Right?
He was cuter than me.
He was so cute that I want to bite him.
Are you upset?
- D you want to bite him? - A lot.
She's upset a lot.
Mrs. Kettle should do something, too.
She was motivated by Baby Angel.
She will tell us a story.
Please tell us a story.
On a cold winter day,
a girl in rags...
was selling matches.
"Buy some matches."
"Gu Ra, please buy some matches."
I don't smoke.
(That's odd.)
(Snorting)
What was that? Are you complaining?
It's not like I need to buy it.
(Suddenly angry)
When the girl lit up the matches to get warm,
the performance of King of Mask Singer began.
"Would it be okay if I sang a song?"
The girl who went on stage...
began to sing a song.
(She suddenly changes.)
(Tough)
That's my song.
(Because I loved you)
This is all.
(It's fun.)
She's like a dubbing artist.
- I don't think she's a singer. - Okay.
Wan Kyu, you saw Baby Angel's cute charm.
You also heard Mrs. Kettle's story.
Based on their specialties,
I would like to vote for Mrs. Kettle.
Didn't you like Baby Angel's specialty?
It wasn't my style at all.
- Really. - You showed us yours last time.
- That's right. - You tried to act cute.
(He was like this two weeks ago.)
I apologize.
What I thought while watching her specialty...
- was that she must have a child. - Is that so?
When she surprised them, her kid must have laughed.
As she must have seen that, she chose to do this.
After hearing her story,
I've got a feeling who she is.
- Finally. - I missed her.
- Finally. - She's standing there.
- Oh, my. - Really?
Hyun Jung seems to get a hunch.
I would be a fool not to have realized who she is.
- I should know. - Is that so?
We were singers in the same era.
She got married off and has lived happily.
- All right. - I guess it's her.
The second match of Round Two.
I have the result in my hand.
Now, I will announce the result of the second match of Round Two.
Between Mrs. Kettle and Baby Angel,
who will move on to the next round?
I'll now reveal the winner of this match.
(She has a clear voice.)
(She is a charismatic singer.)
(His singing didn't falter despite his dance moves.)
(He completely overwhelmed the audience.)
Who is the winner to move on to Final Round?
The winner of this match...
is...
- The winner is... - The winner is...
The winner is...
(Both singers were full of energy.)
(It's a match between Mrs. Kettle and Baby Angel.)
Let's find out who will move on to Final Round.
Between Mrs. Kettle and Baby Angel,
I'll now reveal the winner of this match.
The winner is...
(Baby Angel wins.)
The winner is Baby Angel.
(Baby Angel moves on to Final Round.)
(Baby Angel supporters are happy.)
That's it.
(Mrs. Kettle sang well, too.)
With a final score of 72 to 27,
Baby Angel...
moved on to the next round.
He will move on to Final Round.
Please return to your waiting room.
Please give a big hand.
(The shocking identity of Mrs. Kettle will be revealed soon.)
(Hurrah)
It's great to have this mask.
I was very nervous.
This concealed my expression.
Oh, my. I'm still nervous.
Please get ready.
It's time to reveal your identity.
Now, Mrs. Kettle, please take off your mask...
and reveal your face.
(She has great basic skills and was born with a great voice.)
(She seems to be an experienced singer.)
(She may be a rock singer.)
(Mrs. Kettle is a familiar singer.)
Reveal your face.
(Let's find out who Mrs. Kettle is.)
Well.
(Oh, my.)
Mrs. Kettle is...
Men are shocked.
Who is it?
She must be beautiful.
Who are you?
Who may she be?
Mrs. Kettle is...
Kim Hyun Jung of Space A, who sang "Sexy Guy".
(Space A?)
I know her.
(Oh, my goodness.)
It's been a long time since we saw her.
(It's nice to see you again.)
(She debuted as Space A in 1997.)
(She sang "Sexy Guy", the timeless all time favorite song.)
(She has a clear and stable voice.)
(She was one of the sexiest divas in the 90s.)
(The One was 24 years old at the time.)
(She sang with The One for her first album.)
(Kim Hyun Jung of Space A comes to the show!)
It's been a while since we saw you on stage.
How have you been?
When I decided to stop singing,
I went back to school and graduated.
I met my husband and got married.
Then I gave a birth to two children.
I've been teaching students singing as a vocal trainer.
I've wanted to try to become a singer again.
You've plucked up your courage. subtitles ripped and synced by riri13
Hyun Jung, you were Mrs. Kettle Has Boiled today.
Your voice is still boiling.
Your voice hasn't changed a bit.
You still sound powerful and energetic.
I hope I can hear your songs more.
- I really hope to do so. - Thank you.
I heard that you wanted to break away...
from the sexy diva image of you when you were Space A.
I'm an easy-going and bright person.
It was difficult keeping a sexy image.
It's much better now...
as I can do as I want.
Since it's been a while since you performed on stage,
we asked you who you wish to see your performance.
You answered that you hope your parents-in-law would watch this.
You wrote it in bold.
"I hope my parents-in-law would watch this."
Is there a particular reason?
Actually, my parents-in-law don't watch television often.
They've heard that I was a singer.
- They've only heard about it. - They know vaguely.
They've never seen me perform.
They like watching King of Mask Singer.
- I see. - That's why.
Mother and Father.
Your daughter-in-law is here.
- I'm here. - Yes.
I think it became a good memory...
to her parents-in-law.
With her unchanged singing ability,
she quenched her thirst to be on stage.
Please give it up for Kim Hyun Jung of Space A.
- Please encourage her. - Best of luck!
(We will look forward to your comeback, Hyun Jung!)
Thank you.
It's been such a long time since I came out on TV.
I was afraid that people would've forgotten about me.
I was scared.
But I realized that they didn't. They remembered me.
On top of that, I realized that I can do this.
I gained confidence. Those are the two things I gained today.
I am preparing my solo album.
I will work hard and come back soon.
Please support me.
(She shyly laughs.)
Baby Angel beat Hyun Jung from Space A...
and made it to Round Three.
You're watching King of Mask Singer.
Only the last round remains...
until we have the 46th King of Mask Singer.
Let's bring in the two mask singers...
who became the King of Mask Singer candidates.
Please give them a warm welcome.
(The last contest begins.)
Who will be competing against Tin Man?
It now boils down to Dessert Man versus Baby Angel.
It's time for Final Round.
Which of the two will become...
Tin Man's rival?
I wonder how they feel.
Dessert Man, how do you feel?
First of all, I never thought I would come this far...
and continue to sing.
So I am a little dumfounded at the moment.
And I'm nervous.
Are you still nervous?
I'm endlessly nervous.
Is that right?
He is still quite nervous.
Let's hear Dessert Man's resolution.
Be strong.
Since I came this far,
I want to become the King of Mask Singer.
I think that would be nice.
I will try hard.
(Go, Dessert Man!)
How about you, Baby Angel? How do you feel?
First of all, the singers sitting in front of me...
are the singers I've been liking and admiring...
since I was young.
They gave me good comments,
and that really cheered me up.
So I will cheer up more and do my last performance.
- Thank you. - All right.
And since I'm here,
I want to sit there once too.
Okay.
Do you want to talk to him face to face?
Tell him what you want to say.
(You are finished.)
(He's horrified.)
Wait. Wait.
- Wait. - He's funny.
- You're an angel. - He's funny.
That wasn't fitting for an angel.
That's inappropriate for New Year's Day.
Just think of that as his strong will.
King of Mask Singer,
how do you feel after watching their performances?
I think Dessert Man...
has amazing emotions.
I became very immersed in the song too.
Baby Angel seems to be good at everything.
He can both sing and dance.
He's perfect.
I'm excited for his performance on Round Three.
All right.
Who do you want to be your rival?
Actually, I chose...
a new style of song.
- Is that right? On Final Match. - Yes.
- Yes. - You will try something new.
Yes. So I think it will be better...
if someone who sings a ballad song...
becomes my rival.
- I see. - That's my wish.
Will you not be singing ballad today then?
No, I won't be singing ballad today.
Goodness.
- You'll sing a new genre. - It's new year.
- Is it dance? - Many people didn't do well.
Is it a dance song?
Dance...
Stop there.
It's either ballad or dance.
All right. Great.
Tin Man is watching.
Round Three, the Final Round...
will begin.
Let's watch Dessert Man's performance fist.
(Dessert Man attacks first.)
I'm excited.
I'm sure he will do well.
(Dessert Man has rich emotions like winter air.)
(How will he beat Baby Angel who has many talents...)
(and stop Tin Man from winning the fourth time?)
(What will be his main dessert?)
("I Can't Have You" by Bank)
It's Bank's song.
- Isn't it "I Can't Have You"? - "I Can't Have You".
(His voice became much more delicate.)
(Feeling sad)
(I ran to you that night)
(You said with your drunken eyes)
(For him)
(You said you would throw away your life)
(Only then I thought about my feelings again.)
(He loves her, but he can't hold her.)
(It's a stunning cry of a foolish man.)
(It's a story about a heartrending one-sided love.)
It's amazing.
(It touches my heart.)
His voice is too nice.
(His voice is amazing.)
(He's good.)
(Even if he's holding tears,)
(he tries to sound calm.)
(His sorrowful breath touches our hearts.)
(He can't have her...)
(even if he loves her.)
(He's amazed.)
(He desperately cries for the girl he can't have.)
(No matter how hard he tries,)
(he can't have her.)
(It's a story of one man's foolish love.)
(It's Dessert Man's fatal sorrow.)
(The heavy feeling lingers.)
That was fine.
Competing against him is...
the one who beat the soccer player Ji So Yun and Kim Hyun Jung.
He's the one whose music hovers over reality and fantasy.
Mysticist Baby Angel.
(He will come down and sing on Round Three...)
(with his great voice.)
(Good luck, Baby Angel!)
(I love him.)
I wonder what he'll be singing.
(It was exciting in Round Two.)
- What do you think? - Maybe he'll sing a ballad song.
- A rock ballad song? - I'm so excited.
(Everyone is excited to see Baby Angel's performance.)
(He captivated women's hearts with his magical voice.)
(Baby Angel wants to fly up to the thrown...)
(as he sings against Dessert Man who has a rich voice.)
("Please Find Her" by The Name)
Even the intro sounds extraordinary.
(It is a crystal clear sound of a music box.)
I'm so excited.
(His voice tears down walls inside people's minds from the beginning.)
(The word of goodbye touches people's hearts.)
(It makes the audience close their eyes and get into the song.)
(His falsetto voice is beautiful and fascinating.)
(This is so nice.)
(Admiring)
(If I can't move on even after a long time,)
(what am I supposed to do all by myself?)
(What if I still miss her?)
(Even though she abandoned him,)
(Baby Angel can't stop loving her.)
(Heartbroken)
(I'm fighting back my tears now.)
(But if things don't change even after 10 years,)
(can I cry a little by then?)
(He chokes back his sobs feeling heartbroken.)
(Even though his heart is burning with pain,)
(Baby Angel only worries about her.)
(He's amazing.)
(It is Baby Angel's desperate prayer for the woman he loves.)
(His soulful voice earns a standing ovation.)
He's so good.
It was such an emotional song.
He deserves all the applause.
He is just amazing.
He made my heart flutter.
Final Round is over.
I wonder how Tin Man liked...
their performances in Round Three.
I said...
that I wanted them to sing a ballad song.
Right. You wanted to sing against a ballad singer.
It turns out I was wrong about it.
I thought you'd be glad as both of them sang ballad songs.
(Hesitant)
- I think I'm in trouble. - Are you in trouble?
Yes. I didn't know they'd be so good.
(He feels nervous.)
We were hoping for your fourth successive win.
I was hoping for that, too.
I'm out of words now.
But we still believe in you.
Okay. The song I prepared for today...
is about hopes...
for the New Year.
Now, he will go backstage...
to prepare for the next stage.
Please give him a round of applause.
Tin Man will sing in Final Match soon.
(Good luck, Tin Man!)
They were neck-and-neck in the match.
And their songs are still lingering in our ears.
Hyun Chul. What do you think?
Dessert Man has a soft and plain voice.
In my opinion, he could be...
a lot of songwriters' favorite singer.
Do you think many songwriters love his voice?
That's because he puts the song before himself.
Many singers tend to put...
themselves first and the song second.
But he puts more importance in the song...
to make it perfect.
So when he released a new song,
it must have been loved by a lot of people.
If you listen to his songs with music files on your device,
you will love them so much.
His song sounds even better when you listen to it...
- wearing headphones. - That's right.
(His voice is optimized for music files.)
And Baby Angel.
In fact, I love The Name's song very much.
And his game was just over...
- as soon as he sang... - As he sang...
the first word, "goodbye".
(Goodbye)
(The game was over with just one word.)
- Only with the word. - The game was over already.
- Right. - Gu Ra.
I think both of them are male singers...
with the lowest weight...
among the singers who've sang in Round Three.
They'd be about 100 kilograms put together.
- They'd weigh about 100 kilograms. - Right. He's about 55 kilograms...
and Baby Angel might weigh less than 50 kilograms.
- Less than 50 kilograms? - Yes.
They'd weight about 100 kilograms together.
But their voices were...
as heavy as 10 or 20 tons.
That's how I felt.
- Baby Angel. - Baby Angel.
I think he showed everything he could do on stage.
He showed a dynamic and exciting performance singing...
"Don't Leave Me" in Round Two.
In Round Three, he had a great aura.
(He looked like an angel with an aura in Round Three.)
That's not it.
He even made some intimidating gestures...
to Tin Man like a fallen angel.
(He even looked like a fallen angel.)
He showed us everything.
(He showed many different sides of himself.)
He showed us all about him.
I expect he will continue to take amazing steps.
- What about Dessert Man? - Dessert Man sounded...
like a rocker at the end of the song.
His voice made perfect harmony with the sound of the guitar.
It felt like...
as if I was listening...
to Coldplay's song.
(Coldplay is one of the best bands...)
(who are beloved by a lot of music fans.)
- Coldplay? - It was extraordinary.
- He was very serious and dignified. - I see.
Young Seok, you look deeply moved.
- That's right. - How did you like it?
Desert Man's song was...
like a melancholy art film.
I would recall his song at home...
as I lie on my bed and stare at the ceiling.
It sounded like he was crying on the way home...
after his breakup.
(He was crying on the way home after his breakup.)
- You've been there. - It felt that way.
It was not too dynamic.
He sounded timid, and it was even more sad.
He hid his feelings.
That's right.
(Dessert Man expressed extreme sadness with the song.)
I loved it so much.
(He expressed the sentiment with restraint.)
The opposite of Baby Angel...
would be an onion.
The opposite of Baby Angel is an onion?
Yes. Onions become small in size...
as you peel each layer.
However, Baby Angel's presence grows...
as he reveals herself.
Don't you think you did an amazing job?
(Laughing)
- It's a direct question. - Yes, it is. What do you think?
He asked, "Don't you think you did an amazing job?"
He thinks that way.
When Baby Angel sang,
I felt for a moment...
that time has stopped.
I listened to his performance in a daze.
He gave a magical performance...
with eccentric energy. I personally think...
he will become top 1 on January 1st.
He will become top 1 on January 1st.
You think he has a chance of becoming King of Mask Singer.
- Yes, he does. - You think he might become top one.
- That's right. - All right.
Baby Angel was like...
the sky that is burning red with the setting sun.
He sang as if there is no tomorrow.
He every ounce of his energy and emotions as a fuel...
to ignite himself.
I could feel the passion in his performance.
All right. Wan Kyu, you watched them with a satisfied expression.
The two of them remind me of...
- "Romance of the 3 Kingdoms". - "Romance of the 3 Kingdoms"?
Which scene are you reminded of?
- Dessert Man is like Guan Yu. - Guan Yu.
- Yes. - In what ways?
- He is straightforward. - He is straightforward.
He brandishes Green Dragon Crescent Blade...
without deviating from his path.
He is saying, "I will keep to the straight and narrow."
Baby Angel is like...
- Cao Cao. - Cao Cao.
- Yes. - Cao Cao?
Every schemes, tricks, and strategies...
are inside his voice.
Really?
He is an angel.
He did this gesture earlier.
It's important to note...
that Guan Yu dies before Cao Cao...
in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".
- Is that so? - Yes.
What does it mean?
While Guan Yu's style suits my taste better,
I pressed the button...
as if I was beheading Ma Su.
(He voted as if he was saying farewell to a beloved subject.)
Gianna Jun is using difficult expressions today.
He pressed the button as if he was beheading Ma Su.
The female panelists look like...
they are in a daze.
I feel like I will shed tears if someone so much as pokes me.
That's how emotional I am.
(Poking)
(I am so sad.)
Their performances...
were very sorrowful.
Nara, which masked singer do you think is more charming?
I personally like...
- Dessert Man's voice. - Dessert Man.
It's a voice I want to listen to up-close.
However, watching Baby Angel's performance...
- made my heart flutter. - He made your heart flutter.
Yes. I fell for their charms.
All right. Now,
this is Final Round.
Between these two masked singers,
I will announce the winner...
who will move on to the 46th Final Match.
Who will be the winner?
(His sentimentality poured out like a waterfall.)
(He was daring and gentle in turn.)
(By expressing sadness in various ways,)
(Dessert Man gave a touching performance.)
(With his beautiful and otherworldly voice,)
(he showed the epitome of heartrending performance.)
(His expressions of emotions gave everyone goosebumps.)
(Baby Angel delivered an echo of the soul.)
Between Dessert Man and Baby Angel,
who will be the winner of this match?
The winner is...
- The winner is... - The winner is...
I can't wait to see the result.
I will send you my energy, Baby Angel.
There you go.
(Both of them did an amazing job.)
(Some of them want to avoid seeing the result.)
I can't bear to watch it.
(Who will compete against King of Mask Singer today?)
Let's see the winner of this match.
Please show the result. Who is the winner?
Baby Angel won.
(Baby Angel won.)
(He beat Dessert man...)
(and began his flight towards the throne.)
(Soar into the sky, Baby Angel.)
Baby Angel beat Dessert Man.
Even though it's Final Round,
he received twice as many votes as Dessert Man.
Baby Angel earned the right to challenge King of Mask Singer.
Please move to the back of the stage and watch Final Match.
Please give him a big hand.
Baby Angel has been decided...
as the rival of Tin Man.
(Is this a dream or a reality?)
(Even though he is very happy, he is at a loss for words.)
(Flapping)
I am so happy.
I am very, very, very happy.
I will like I am floating. This is like a dream.
Who could Defense Corps Member, Dessert Man be?
Let's find out who he is.
Please move to the back of the stage. Now,
Dessert Man, please take off your mask...
and reveal your face.
(He was predicted as the next King of Mask Singer.)
(Dessert Man showed straightforward sentimentality.)
(He reminded the panelists of Coldplay.)
(His voice was like an independent film.)
(Even though he is young, he is not an idol singer.)
(Is he a singer-songwriter?)
(Is he a singer who recently rose to fame?)
(Composer will fall in love with him.)
(He has a voice with depth and impressive skills.)
Please take off your mask and reveal your face.
(Wow)
He is...
Everyone seems to know him.
What is going on?
- Who is he? - Who is he?
He is...
a singer who swept music charts upon his debut.
He is a sentimental vocalist, Jung Seung Hwan.
It's Seung Hwan.
(It's no wonder he sang so well.)
Hey.
(The senior singers welcome Jung Seung Hwan.)
(He is a popular newbie everyone recognizes.)
Hello, I recently debuted with an album titled "The Voice".
I am a singer, Jung Seung Hwan. It's nice to meet you.
(With "If It Is You, an OST that moves the heart,)
(he was recognized even before his official debut.)
(He debuted with "The Fool"...)
(and swept various music charts.)
(He has deep emotions despite being a newly debuted artist.)
(He became an artist with strong digital music sales.)
(His heartrending voice is unrivaled.)
(The rising star of a ballad scene, Jung Seung Hwan)
He is 21 years old.
He debuted less than a year ago.
It has been a month since my debut.
Seung Hwan debuted a month ago.
He was named as the rising star...
of the ballad scene...
an is thus receiving a lot of attention.
Is this your first visit to an MBC show?
Yes, it is my first time.
This is a view...
I always saw on TV.
- It's fascinating... - They are quite famous.
to be here.
As the person you want to show your performances to,
- you wrote down Yu Hui Yeol. - Yes.
He told me to become more handsome on many occasions.
He told you to become handsomer.
It goes against the title of my album, "The Voice".
Young Seok is fuming.
I can't believe he told Seung Hwan to become handsomer.
He should think about his own looks.
With what determination did you visit the show?
I began to feel a sense of responsibility.
I thought, "I should improve my singing skills."
"I am a professional singer." Those thoughts mad me lose...
the vision I had at the start.
I soon realized it had been a while...
since I sang without a worry.
Since King of Mask Singer offers the singers a chance...
to hide their identities and sing to their hearts' content,
I thought I would be able to show my true self.
I visited the show with an excited heart.
I see. The panelists said a lot of nice things.
Hyun Chul especially gave you high praises.
At that age, artists get ahead of themselves...
the moment they realize their talent in singing.
However, Seung Hwan...
pulled back and made the song shine.
It's the biggest forte a singer can have.
I see.
Even though he debuted only a month ago,
Seung Hwan showed his dazzling presence...
on the stage with his voice alone.
Please wish him luck on his future endeavors...
with a round of applause.
- Thank you. - Good luck.
(We look forward to your future endeavors.)
(He stays polite until the end.)
Thank you.
I said I wanted Hui Yeol to watch my stage,
but I was only joking.
My mom. I want my mom to see it.
She loves this show.
The fact that I can show her my stage here on King of Mask Singer...
makes my heart flutter. I can't wait to tell her.
We'll probably be watching it together.
I think we will.
I'd be in the bathroom when this video airs.
I love you, Mom.
Happy New Year. Please stay healthy.
Thank you.
This is the result of Round Three.
Mysticist Baby Angel defeated Jung Seung Hwan...
and moved on to Final Match.
The mysterious music show, King of Mask Singer.
What remains is the stage of Tin Man with a Burning Heart...
to defend his throne.
What kind of a stage did...
Tin Man with a Burning Heart prepare to achieve his fourth win?
Now, let's watch the king's stage for Final Match...
that will determine the 46th King of Mask Singer.
This is Final Match that will decide the 46th King of Mask Singer.
He has a healing voice that...
lights up the world.
The 45th King of Mask Singer, Tin Man with a Burning Heart.
(The king's gate only opens...)
(with his golden mask.)
(Tin Man, the King of Mask Singer, has appeared.)
(Welcome, King of Mask Singer.)
(He passes the king's passage in the middle.)
(The true king has shown himself.)
The King of Mask Singer comes out from the middle.
(He's handsome.)
(As he starts to prepare for his stage,)
(the studio quiets down.)
My gosh.
I'm nervous.
(Me, too.)
This is the moment I become the most nervous.
(They never get used to the tension.)
(The King of Mask Singer is ready.)
(The heavy tension builds up.)
(It's because his opponent today is...)
(Baby Angel, who has an unbelievably emotional voice.)
(The audience sits up straight,)
(and takes a deep breath.)
(He said his performance will be different today.)
(What will be the new thing he will try?)
(A candle lights up the stage.)
I think it's "One Candle".
He turned it into a blues song.
(The panelists' hearts flutter.)
("One Candle" by god)
(As his singing starts to comfort your mind,)
(the studio fills up with warmth.)
(With a hopeful voice as bright as the candlelight,)
(Tin Man lights up the minds of the audience.)
(Bam, bam)
(Okay)
(Tin Man raps rhythmically.)
(His sincere confession flows like a melody.)
(It's a soft and emotional rap in rhythm and blues style.)
(Don't give up)
(Are you going to fight or flight)
(His song of support lights up the winter night brightly.)
(When you're tired and exhausted, rely on me)
(As if he's clearing the darkness of the world,)
(Tin Man's song consoles people who are exhausted.)
(Let's go toward that light!)
(When I was hurting, you were there.)
(The light becomes brighter.)
(The darkness fades)
(His warm voice soothes your tired mind.)
(The cute and innocent Tin Man sends...)
(strong energy of hope.)
(I love it.)
(He's cute.)
(In the soft melody,)
(you can feel his warm and strong soul.)
(You can do it)
(I will be right beside you, holding your hand)
(He freely sings both high and low notes with his groovy voice.)
("One Candle" by Tin Man gives hope and courage...)
(to everyone starting the new year.)
(I will be right beside you, holding your hand)
("One Candle" by Tin Man, a hopeful song sung with his deep emotions)
(I love it so much. I'm going crazy.)
(He gave everyone energy to start the new year.)
That was great.
It was something new.
It was delightful.
He's good.
Tin Man, he is...
He's so great.
(Thank you for a wonderful stage.)
Tin Man's stage for Final Match is now over.
Now, it's time for you to make a decision.
Press number one for Mysticist Baby Angel,
and press number two for Tin Man with a Burning Heart.
Who is going to be...
the first King of Mask Singer of this year?
You have to decide that.
Kai.
(Kai, cast your vote.)
Kai, you should cast your vote. Press the button hard.
Now, all votes are in.
I think it was hard for you to make this choice.
Jang Hyuk. This was the first Final Match of this year.
What did you think?
The truly great thing was that...
as Tin Man keeps achieving his wins,
his singing style becomes more free.
His song sounded like a blues song.
Today, I realized that he can rap...
as well as he sings...
with his charming voice.
(He found Tin Man's new charm.)
I think Tin Man is...
the only person in this country...
who can freely sing a song in different styles.
As for Baby Angel...
Singers embody their life experience...
in their own songs.
But I think he has had huge ups and downs in his life.
Those ups and downs moved and swayed me.
You gave such great performances today.
- Thank you. - All right.
What did you think of Tin Man's stage, Kai?
It's a song that a group of five people sang.
It's very hard to sing that kind of a song...
by himself from start to finish.
It's because each member shows their characteristics...
through their short parts as they rap and sing.
To do all of those by himself...
must have put a great amount of pressure on him.
But Tin Man showed...
his distinctive singing style today.
I think that's the most amazing thing.
Although I'm not the King of Mask Singer,
every time I watch...
Tin Man's stage, I realize that it'd be so hard...
to defend his throne.
I think Tin Man's voice...
hypnotizes people.
- Hypnotizes people? - Yes.
When I listen to his voice,
I feel like I'm getting hypnotized without knowing.
That's how it feels.
He tried rapping for the first time today.
The point of inserting a rap in the middle of song...
is so that the listener can get introduced to a new tone.
It shifts the atmosphere, then it goes back to singing.
So singing and rapping in one voice will be meaningless...
unless the vocalist...
has a very attractive voice.
However, he pulled it off successfully today.
Looking them standing together,
- they only have a small difference. - Really?
They look the same when you see them from a distance.
But up close, there's a slight difference.
So you're saying that it's that competitive.
It's one of the hardest matches to predict the result.
I'm sorry for making you go through such difficulties...
starting from the first day of a new year.
What do you think, Gu Ra?
At first, he sounded very worried as he told us that...
he was going to do something new.
But after listening, I realized that he was just making a fuss.
If a chef that's really good at making jjajangmyeon...
makes jjamppong, it'll still taste good.
- What matters is their skill. - Right.
Even though it was his first time performing rap,
I knew it would harmonize well with the song.
He could even compete in "Show Me the Money".
Is he that good?
I can't guarantee his victory though.
I'm just saying that it was a great performance to watch.
He didn't need to worry about anything.
So as always,
I feel like this match will be...
- a very competitive one. - All right.
- Wan Kyu, here's a question. - Yes?
Who do you think will become the king?
Well, personally,
I thought Tin Man...
was a robot that sings really well.
(Upset)
That's what I thought at first.
But he's not a robot.
He's a man with a beating heart.
You selected a song called...
"One Candle". Since it's New Year's day,
I think he touched our hearts more than ever with this song.
I don't think his goal was to keep his throne as the king.
He sang what he wanted to sing with all his heart. That's what I think.
Gianna Jun inspires us a lot today.
He wasn't obsessed about his throne.
Lastly, let's hear Yoon Seok's minority opinion.
As you all may have heard, they're not humans.
Baby Angel sang and mastered three different genres.
Tin Man can sing a song that's for five people.
It's a competitive match...
between those two. Will the angel of music...
who's been a legend for a long time...
win this match?
Or with the start of a new year,
will the victory go to the robot with great technological skills?
Today, it practically feels like a documentary on music.
(You're amazing.)
I thought you guys would mock me.
It's now time to announce...
the first King of Mask Singer of the New Year.
The mysterious music show, King of Mask Singer.
It's the 46th Final Match.
The result has arrived.
Will Mysticist Baby Angel...
get the first crown on New Year's first day?
Or will Tin Man with a Burning Heart...
make his fourth straight victory?
Will he be able to...
continue his history in 2017?
It's the first King of Mask Singer of 2017...
chosen by you.
I'll now reveal...
the 46th King of Mask Singer.
(With a soft voice that could even melt the winter cold,)
(he showed us a warm and cozy performance in Round One.)
(He released all his hidden talents and charms.)
(He became one with the audience by singing "Don't Leave Me".)
(He competes with his emotions in Round Three.)
(His sorrowful voice brightened the performance.)
(Baby Angel gave us a New Year's gift.)
(It was his first time showing his heart-beating rap.)
(He sang hopes for the New Year through "One Candle".)
(Tin Man is a singing AlphaGo.)
(He received a standing ovation.)
Between Mysticist Baby Angel...
and Tin Man with a Burning Heart,
who will be...
the first King of Mask Singer of 2017 chosen by the audience?
The 46th King of Mask Singer is...
The winner is...
(King of Mask Singer)
- The winner is... - The winner is...
I feel so nervous.
I can't see the result.
(I can't see the result.)
Who would that be?
(Thrill and tension coexists.)
(It's the unpredictable first Final Match of 2017.)
(Who will be the winner?)
The first King of Mask Singer...
of 2017 is... Who is it?
Who will be the first winner of 2017?
Will Tin Man win four straight matches?
Or will Baby Angel take the crown?
I'll now reveal the winner of this match.
It's the 46th King of Mask Singer.
The first winner of 2017 is...
Who is it?
Show us the result.
(King of Mask Singer)
The winner is Mysticist Baby Angel.
(It's the first King of Mask Singer of the New Year.)
(He became King of Mask Singer on Sunday, January 1, 2017.)
(Baby Angel will write a new history.)
Unbelievable.
Baby Angel wins Tin Man.
(Baby Angel defeats him with a final score of 57 to 42.)
Baby Angel becomes the first King of Mask Singer of 2017.
With a final score of 57 to 42...
With a final score of 57 to 42, he won by 15 votes.
Baby Angel becomes the new King of Mask Singer.
Let me grant you the gown of King of Mask Singer...
and the golden mask, Baby Angel.
(- What should we do? - I don't know.)
(What's happening back there?)
He can't wear the gown because of his wings.
- It's stuck on your wings. - It's hard to...
- put the gown on you. - We were inconsiderate.
- Right. We can't cut your wings. - Just hold it with your hands.
That will work.
It's all good now.
(He drapes it over his shoulder.)
(He can still wear the golden mask.)
How does it feel to become...
the first King of Mask Singer of 2017?
I only prepared and practiced for...
a speech I'd say in case I lose.
I never imagined that I'd win.
However, I won on the first day of 2017.
So it's such a huge gift for me.
Thank you everyone once again.
(Thank you everyone.)
We will be able to see Baby Angel again next week.
In order to keep his identity a secret,
Baby Angel will walk out as soon as he finishes his parade.
Go on, Baby Angel.
(He barely walks.)
Well, everyone...
Baby Angel's...
skirt makes him hard to walk.
Give a round of applause...
to King of Mask Singer, everyone.
(We will start the year 2017 with Baby Angel.)
(The identity of Tin Man will be revealed soon.)
Is there anything you'd like to say before you take off your mask?
I'll give you a chance.
When I started King of Mask Singer,
my ultimate goal was to...
heal and comfort your souls...
through my music.
It seems like I achieved my goal today.
So I'm really happy about it.
Great.
He gave us so many happy memories.
Let's find out who Tin Man is.
Please move to the back of the stage.
Please take off your mask...
and reveal your face.
(His powerful emotion strongly lingers within people's hearts.)
(It was the advent of a soulful vocalist.)
(He attracted all the panelists.)
The result is...
(By defeating Popcorn Girl, he won the crown.)
(His performance was thrilling.)
(He's so talented that it can't be expressed with just one word.)
(If a deity ever made a robot that could sing,)
(I think that would be Tin Man.)
(Whatever the genre is, he digests it perfectly.)
(He showed off his various charms.)
(He's a true vocalist with sensitivity.)
(He also showed unexpected charms.)
(He attracted the panelists with his cuteness.)
(He tries to look cute.)
(Who is Tin Man?)
Show us your face.
He is...
He won three times in a row.
(I really wanted to see you.)
I think he's a well-known person.
(Tin Man's face finally gets revealed.)
- Men are sending hearts to him. - Men are sending hearts to him.
He wears glasses.
Who is Tin Man?
He is...
the lead vocalist Shin Yong Jae...
of 4MEN.
(Tin Man was Shin Yong Jae.)
It's Mr. Shin.
(It's good to see you.)
It's really nice to see his face.
- Shin Yong Jae. - How nice!
(I love Tin Man.)
Hello, I am a member of 4MEN,
Shin Yong Jae. It's nice to meet you.
(He debuted as a member of 4MEN, the best ballad group in Korea.)
("Baby Baby", "I Can't", "Hug Me", "Once While Living", etc...)
(They all became hit songs.)
(People call him the master of singing.)
(He always gives a touching performance.)
(He is an otherworldly vocalist who constantly evolves.)
(His voice seeps into listeners' hearts.)
(He is a singer whose voice never disappoints.)
(People trust Shin Yong Jae 100 percent.)
We ask each participants to write down...
their reason for visiting King of Mask Singer.
He wrote, "I want to clear the misunderstanding about my age."
What does that mean?
Since I don't appear on shows a lot,
people judge me by my voice and looks.
Many people think that I am in my 30s.
I was born in 1989.
- I am 28 years old. - I see.
Whenever I reveal my age, people become surprised.
He said he wanted to clear the misunderstandings.
- You shouldn't become startled. - It happens every time.
People think you are a bit older than you actually are.
Yes, they always think I am in my 30s.
It has been that way ever since I was 22 years old.
- That's when it started. - He is two years older than me.
- He is only 28 years old. - That's right.
He doesn't look old. I looked at him through a telescope.
He is very cute.
Maybe the viewers will think that way...
if they look at the screen through a telescope.
He is a funny man.
- He is hilarious. - His facial expressions...
reveal his age.
- He is cute. - He is funny.
That's right. He is very cute...
- when you look at him closely. - That's right.
Why do you say that? He is cute even at a glance.
(He is a cute man.)
Young Seok liked Tin Man very much.
That's right. He became the junior singer I love the most.
I am glad he took off the mask.
I like his face...
- Really? - a lot better.
I get why his persona was Tin Man.
He has the first impression of a genius scientist.
He seems like a scientist who makes robots.
That's right. I think it's amazing that...
a logical man like him...
can sing with such sentimentality.
He made me think about the matter once more.
There were time when I criticized him,
and there were times when I got touched by his performance.
I want to tell him that...
it was all because I had high hopes for him.
Even when he leaves,
he will remain King of Mask Singer whom everyone will applaud...
and remember.
His voice shook a little bit.
Many people are sad to say goodbye.
He showed the strength of a sentimental vocalist...
and the freshness of a man in his 20s...
and challenged himself to show novel performances.
Tin Man was the cute King of Mask Singer.
Please give Shin Yong Jae...
a round of applause.
- Good luck, Shin Yong Jae. - Thank you.
- Thank you for your hard work... - Thank you.
throughout your three wins.
(Tin Man's first day at King of Mask Singer)
Hello.
(Cute)
(My goodness.)
It's my heart.
(My heart is precious.)
(When he first became King of Mask Singer...)
(Waddling)
I can't see very well.
You can't see very well, can you?
(Bumping)
(He struggled a lot on his first day.)
(Once he became used to the throne,)
(King of Mask Singer in his 20s...)
(sent text messages and took selfies.)
(Whenever music came on...)
My goodness. My goodness.
(He unleashed his good cheer.)
(Dancing)
(Shin Yong Jae has a cheerful side.)
(You don't know how I feel)
(It's sad, it's sad)
(Shin Yong Jae, the dancing machine)
I prepared something for you.
(Ta-da)
(Embarrassed)
(Saying goodbye to Tin Man)
Hello, Tin Man.
While it didn't last long, I became comfortable with being you.
Thank you very much.
I will continue on with your burning heart...
and sing passionately as a singer, Shin Yong Jae.
Don't forget about me.
I won't forget about you.
Thank you very much.
Tin Man, thank you.
I don't want to say goodbye.
Now, we really have to say goodbye.
