The mysterious music show, King of Mask Singer.
Last week,
He showed us his breathtakingly beautiful low voice and...
perfectly soulful performance.
With his deep and furnacelike voice,
he succeeded the throne last week.
The 47th King of Mask Singer,
Red Bean Warrior Anpan Prince.
(The 47th King of Mask Singer, Red Bean Warrior Anpan Prince)
(He is taking a bow.)
(Welcome)
(He is our prince.)
Like the white blanket of snow,
we will cover your eyes and ears...
with our pure and music.
The mysterious music show, King of Mask Singer.
I am your unbiased show host, Kim Seong Ju. Nice to meet you.
(He is your unbiased show host, Kim Seong Ju.)
(Jeong Ga Eun)
(Ye Bin of DIA)
(Woo Shin of UP10TION)
Last week, he won by a landslide...
getting the full support from the panelist.
He's the new King of Mask Singer, Red Bean Warrior Anpan Prince.
Please say hello to our viewers.
If something happens
To someone somewhere
Call me
Hello, I'm Red Bean Warrior Anpan Prince.
Yes, he's Red Bean Warrior Anpan Prince.
(We are glad to see you again.)
He came prepared today.
Sitting on the throne might feel awkward to him.
But he seems to be managing well.
Can you tell us how determined you are?
So many good singers come on the show for each episode.
I'm under so much pressure right now.
But I will do my best to sing a good song...
that will touch your heart today.
Okay. That's nice.
In fact, Anpan Prince is great.
Baby Angel became the King of Mask Singer on his second try.
And Anpan Prince beat him the next week.
In fact, Gu Ra cherished Baby Angel so much...
calling him "my baby" last week.
Then he predicted that Baby Angel would...
abdicate the throne in a week.
Your prediction came true, Gu Ra.
I'm sorry that Baby Angel lost.
But we did throw a birthday party for him.
- That's enough? - It's time to move on.
- Now it's time for Anpan Prince. - Anpan Prince.
Here's my thought.
Anpan is all about stuffing.
That's right.
He'd need something predictable...
but novel for this stuffing.
What he prepares for his stuffing will decide...
how long he will keep the throne.
If things go well, he will stay there...
until late summer.
It is totally up to him.
He sounds like he's selling Anpan buns.
- Do you want some seaweed buns? - I'm not interested.
He says Anpan Prince's stuffing will determine the result of the matches.
Gu Ra is being a prophet today.
- Good luck to you today. - Go, Anpan Prince.
- Go, Anpan Prince. - Anpan Prince.
Yes?
Actually, I can't hear you well.
(Bursting into laughter)
I can't hear a word you say.
It's been only one week. Do you feel tired already?
He can't see nor hear well.
This is his first time. It can happen.
I believe he will cope with that.
The mysterious music show, King of Mask Singer.
Who will be singing against Anpan Prince...
and who will become the 48th King of Mask Singer?
Let's begin...
the first match of Round One.
(Let's begin the first match of Round One.)
(King of Mask Singer)
The first match of Round One.
For 365 days a year,
she makes merry...
with exciting music.
Party Queen Grasshopper.
(Party Queen Grasshopper)
I hope you will enjoy my song today.
(Let's have fun.)
(It's nice to meet you.)
She's playing the violin.
(She's cute.)
Her opponent is...
a diligent girl...
who believes in reaping what she sows.
Workaholic Ant Girl.
(Workaholic Ant Girl)
I'm so busy trying to be the King of Mask Singer.
(Working hard)
(Good luck, Ant Girl.)
She's cute.
She looks lively.
Ant Girl is more lively than Grasshopper.
(It's a meeting of Grasshopper and Ant Girl.)
What will they sing?
(Grasshopper and Ant Girl are quite different.)
(Much attention is given to them.)
(Meanwhile, in the King of Masked Singer's room...)
It smells good.
(What are Grasshopper and Ant Girl's weapons...)
(to advance toward Anpan Prince?)
("If I Leave" by Jo Su Mi)
("If I Leave" is the world-renowned soprano Jo Su Mi's song.)
(Her voice sounds lonesome from the first line of the song.)
(Her low, soft whisper...)
(makes everyone feel the weight of her sorrow.)
(Grasshopper's mysterious voice...)
(changes the air.)
(Her soulful voice is filled with her breath.)
(She sounds like a crown princess feeling strange to be in a palace.)
(Her sorrowful voice even sounds innocent.)
(She sings like a queen ruling a kingdom.)
(Grasshopper is splendidly skillful.)
(Ant Girl's voice is heartrending.)
(Sorrow seeps in heavily.)
This is incredible. It's just Round One, but I'm already amazed.
This is amazing.
(Their performance makes everyone delighted.)
(Anpan Prince is anxious.)
(Grasshopper is skillful and Ant Girl is ambitious.)
(Her breathing conveys the pain.)
(When time passes,)
(will this deep sorrow be gone?)
(Even a lone star)
(Seems to understand me)
(Even though I am sad)
(I need to live on)
(It's a tragic fate.)
(She sounds like she is choking in tears.)
(They have different ways of expressing sorrow.)
(It's sorrowful harmony.)
(They created a grand performance only with their voices.)
(The two women poured out their sorrow through "If I Leave".)
- It's over. - This can't be.
- What should we do? - It feels like Round Four.
Their performance was too good for Round One.
Good job.
The first match...
of Round One came to an end.
The fact that such skillful singers have been assigned in Round One...
- It is rare. - It is rare.
I couldn't explain further because King of Mask Singer was here.
Given the fact that it is...
a special Lunar New Year's lineup,
masked singers should all be taken seriously.
They are all skillful singers.
(Oh, my.)
I saw that you couldn't hide your excitement.
Yu Young Seok.
I'm so happy that my heart is still pounding.
I'm thankful. Both of you...
- are too skilled to be eliminated. - That's right.
Especially Ant Girl, I can't believe...
that you were able to prepare so well while working so hard.
- She's diligent. - On top of that,
judging by the tone of her voice,
I'm sure that she's a born singer.
(Pardon me?)
- Was she born with the voice? - She was born with a great voice.
(Is she a born singer?)
She doesn't sound like an old person.
The way she sings...
shows that her music is like a grown one though she's a seeding.
(Her music is like a grown tree.)
You are talking like it's Arbor Day.
(That's a precious comment.)
"Though she's a seeding, her music is like a grown one."
As for Grasshopper, from her first performance,
it shows that she seems to be here to be the King of Mask Singer.
Listening to her sing,
I was extremely happy.
To her singing ability,
I surrendered.
- You surrendered. - I did.
(He surrendered to Grasshopper.)
There's too much word play today.
- It's too much. - Fancy language.
Kai, what did you think?
This song is "If I Leave"...
- by soprano Jo Su Mi. - That's right.
Jo Su Mi confessed that...
she found it more difficult to sing this song...
than singing on a world-renowned opera stage.
- I see. - Seeing them sing...
a difficult song like "If I Leave"...
near to perfection together,
I was hugely impressed.
Were their emotions as incredible as Jo Su Mi's?
It could be said that they were greater than that.
You believe that it's permissible to say so.
- It was awesome. - They aren't lacking.
Won't Jo Su Mi be upset if she hears this?
There's no need to worry.
She is always delighted to find out...
when junior singers do well.
When she hears these two sing,
I'm sure she would applaud.
- As for Ant Girl... - Ant Girl.
It felt like a teenage girl singing "If I Leave".
It sounded like a lover...
- left her. - The emotions of a teenage girl.
She sang earnestly with such emotions.
She sang her heart out.
It reached it to us. She was incredible.
- Do you think she's a teenage girl? - Yes, I do.
You don't think she's an old lady but a girl.
- Exactly. - Yes.
As for Grasshopper's...
- pelvis... - Her pelvis?
- Pelvis? - It looks like Mariah Carey's.
- Is it like Mariah Carey's? - Yes.
Now, Kai...
Kai has become a half crook...
since appearing on this show. My goodness.
- I hoped he wouldn't be like that. - I thought he wouldn't.
- I guess it can't be helped. - He used to assess on voices only.
What I meant to say was...
that the depth of her voice...
makes her qualified to be the King of Mask Singer.
She is that skilled.
"If I Leave" by them was the best.
Kai has given them...
the highest appraisal.
- Kim Hyun Chul, what did you think? - Firstly...
If Grasshopper is comparable to Celine Dion...
If Grasshopper is Celine Dion.
- Ant Girl is like Beyonce. - Beyonce.
Did we just hear a song by Celine Dion and Beyonce?
Grasshopper has emotions like Celine Dion.
Ant Girl has emotions like Beyonce.
That's the difference.
Grasshopper is great at...
controlling the volume of her music.
Also, her emphasis is on the last note.
Her emphasis is on the back.
Ant Girl was born with a husky voice.
I see.
Her emphasis is on the first note.
(As opposed to Grasshopper, her emphasis is on the first note.)
It seems to me that Grasshopper...
is five years older.
Grasshopper seems to be five years older.
Now, let's find out...
how well they dance.
Let's see Ant Girl's dance first.
It's called Ant Dance.
Music, please.
(Ant Dance)
(Ant works diligently today as well)
(Let's work hard.)
(Shoveling)
(Ant is shoveling today again.)
(Diligent ant...)
(becomes another being in the weekends.)
(Poking)
She becomes another being.
(She dances until she breaks a sweat.)
She dances diligently.
Her feet move fast. That's it.
She's a good dancer.
(Diligent workers, enjoy your trip.)
That's all. She's diligent.
Ant is diligent.
- She's a good dancer. - Even her dance is diligent.
She's a great dancer.
Let's see Grasshopper's dance.
Her dance is called...
Playing with Fire Dance.
(Oh, my.)
Music, please.
(Playing with Fire Dance by Grasshopper)
(Our love is playing with fire)
She is flexible.
Her long dress is perfect for this.
(She's fiery.)
(Don't stop me.)
She seems different.
(I'm going to play with fire today.)
(I approve of this.)
Though her dress was long,
she did well.
Now, Ant Girl...
will sing in her real voice.
She has prepared a rap. Please show us.
(It's time to hear Ant Girl's rap.)
(She channels her inner Yoon Mi Rae.)
(At the young age of 21)
(I entered the world)
(Envy, betrayal, and temptation)
(She has a soulful voice.)
(My hopes and dreams are gone again)
(Ant Girl has swag.)
That's how talented she is.
She is like a rapper.
- She has an amazing voice. - She has many talents.
That's how talented Ant Girl is.
The voices we hear in songs...
have been mixed to perfection.
However, her voice already sounds like the mixed version.
Her voice sounds like it has been touched with machine.
On top of her beautiful voice,
she has passion and spirit.
- I am certain... - Yes, Woo Shin?
Ant Girl is an idol singer.
Who do you think she is?
- In fact, - You think she is an idol singer.
- hearing the first line... - Who is she?
- Did you recognize her? - made me feel happy to see her.
- Who is she? - Se Jeong of Gugudan.
Se Jeong of Gugudan.
(They are fresh and cheerful newly debuted idol group.)
(Is Ant Girl Se Jeong of Gugudan?)
Se Jeong of Gugudan is very young.
I also thought Ant Girl would be an easygoing idol singer.
Se Jeong of Gugudan?
- Yes. - Yes.
The panelists seem to have mixed opinions.
Lastly, let's see what Lee Yoon Seok has to say.
Looking at Grasshopper made me realize...
that the warring states period has arrived at King of Mask Singer.
- Is that so? - The King of Mask Singer...
may not reign for a long time.
- I see. - Grasshopper is here to eat Anpan.
- I see. - If I may make a guess,
I think she could be Son Seung Yeon.
(She is a vocalist with a clear voice.)
(Is Grasshopper Son Seung Yeon?)
- Son Seung Yeon. - She is here to take the throne.
I am certain Ant Girl is a newly debuted idol singer.
She raises her hand at the mention of Ant Girl.
Newly debuted idol singers do that.
- "I am here." - That's right.
While she is a newly debuted idol singer,
she has talents...
- of the queen ant. - The queen ant.
- I see. - I am sure she is an idol singer.
All right. Now, I will announce the result...
of the first match of Round One.
Between Party Queen Grasshopper who loves music all seasons...
and Workaholic Ant Girl, the icon of diligence,
who will be the winner?
I'll now reveal the winner of this match.
(With her skillful control over the volume of her voice...)
(and profound sentimentality,)
(Party Queen Grasshopper...)
(doubled the sorrow of the song.)
(With her beautiful voice...)
(and soulful singing style,)
(Workaholic Ant Girl gave a heartrending performance.)
Between Grasshopper and Ant Girl,
who will win...
and move on to Round Two?
The winner is...
I wonder who will win.
What will happen?
Come on.
(Grasshopper has an appreciation for the arts.)
(Ant Girl is diligent.)
The winner is...
(What will be their fate?)
Let's find out who will move on to Round Two.
Who is the winner?
The winner is Grasshopper.
Grasshopper.
(She moved on to to Round Two.)
(The fans of Ant Girl are sad.)
(They give the two masked singers a round of applause.)
The winner is Grasshopper.
It was a close match.
The final score was 54 to 45. With a difference of 9 votes,
Grasshopper won.
Congratulations. Please return to your waiting room.
Please give her a big hand.
Grasshopper won.
(Her steps are light.)
I am so happy.
I will do well in Round Two. Let's go.
Ant Girl received high praises.
Who could she be? We will reveal her identity...
with a solo performance prepared for Round Two.
(She's young, but her music is like a grown tree.)
(Her husky voice is similar to that of Beyonce.)
(Her voice has been mixed to perfection.)
(She also has passion and spirit.)
(Energetic)
(She broke a sweat from dancing.)
(Who could be the diligent Ant Girl?)
("A Bout of Laughter" by Lee Sun Hee)
I can't believe she will sing this song.
(It's a song Lee Sun Hee sang at the age of 26.)
(How will Ant Girl sing "A Bout of Laughter"?)
(She sings the youth's love song with sincerity.)
(Like the solid vocal of Lee Sun Hee,)
(she uses powerful vibration.)
(My goodness.)
(Her voice is clear and straightforward.)
(Dancing)
(Her innocent singing...)
(fills the studio with beauty.)
(Ant Girl beautifully sings one note after another.)
(What is the identity of this person giving a touching performance?)
Now,
Workaholic Ant Girl, please take off your mask...
and reveal your face.
(My goodness.)
(This is incredible.)
Everyone is in a frenzy.
My goodness.
Who is she?
What is going on?
She is...
a member of popular idol groups, I.O.I and Gugudan.
She is Se Jeong.
(Is it Kim Se Jeong?)
(Se Jeong is on King of Mask Singer.)
- I was right. - He was right.
(Proud)
(While she is young, Se Jeong has skills.)
(She is lovely.)
She can sing very well.
(Her voice is filled with freshness of the youth.)
(He is smiling like her uncle.)
(Her charms put the audience in a good mood.)
(Her cheerful song makes men's hearts flutter.)
(Se Jeong's "A Bout of Laughter" was filled with refreshing energy.)
- She's good. - Way to go.
(Thank you.)
(Embarrassed)
(A youth's cheerfulness made the audience smile.)
(Bravo)
She will become a big star.
- How pretty! - It was nice.
I am very happy.
Ant Girl's identity has been revealed.
Hello, I am Se Jeong of Gugudan and I.O.I.
It's nice to meet you.
(She is a member of a hot girl group, Gugudan.)
(She has cheerful and easygoing charms.)
(She is a popular idol singer people call as Queen Se Jeong.)
(Kim Se Jeong's "Flower Way" topped music charts.)
(She debuted as a solo artist with her deep and soulful voice.)
(The song swept music charts and validated her popularity.)
(She is a lovely girl who makes everyone smile.)
(The girl you can't help but love, Kim Se Jeong)
In international age, she is only 21 years old.
She is a young girl.
However, her voice...
rivaled that of a seasoned artist.
She showed us what she's got.
Your goal was to be seen as if you're in your thirties.
That's right.
- Is that true? - I used to act like...
- an old man in many other shows. - Right.
My goodness. It's galbi.
(She sounds like an old man.)
- It's an important day, right? - Right.
(She speaks like an old man.)
(Se Jeong plays an active role in many variety shows.)
Should we get ice cream on our way back home?
I wanted to be seen as...
- a skillful veteran female singer. - You did?
I was being too frivolous, wasn't I?
(She showed a good reaction.)
(She moved her shoulders up and down.)
(She showed perfect teamwork with Seong Ju.)
(She acted too much like an old man.)
This is a problem I've got.
Actually, I.O.I members told me...
to act as girlish as possible.
They told me not to act like an old man this year.
- Don't do that kind of stuff. - It's not a girl group thing.
- I decided to become more... - Bubbly and cute.
bubbly and cuter as a girl group member.
- I think I failed. - Se Jeong.
She definitely failed.
- You failed to keep the promise. - She absolutely failed.
- I failed. - She didn't keep it for sure.
- I will just be myself. - That would be better.
She's 21 years old, born in 1996.
- Well... - Yes, Seul Ong.
Before she told us,
I didn't know she was 21 judging by her reactions.
Oh, my.
Don't say that.
Her gestures while singing...
never looked like she's 21.
You are 21 years old, right?
I am.
That's the kind of reaction makes her look older.
- I know, right? - She acts like an old lady.
However, she sings like...
a veteran singer with rich tone.
Many of you were surprised because of it.
She sings the best...
among singers in early twenties.
- I'm so flattered. - She's the best.
- Is she that good? - Yes, she is.
I can't believe how good she sings like that in that age.
While singing,
she didn't make a single mistake.
I can't believe she sang perfectly when she's so young.
She sings the best among those singers in early twenties.
- I agree. - I've never seen one like that.
Recently, I'm doing a musical...
with Hae Bin from Gugudan.
Her uncle fans roar so much...
while giving a big hand.
I've never seen something like that.
I wondered why...
they cheer so much like that.
I now realize why they did that...
- after watching Se Jeong sing. - You understand them now, right?
Yes, they make you automatically cheer like that.
- That's right. - Right.
Se Jeong got huge love from the fans last year.
I hope you love her more this year.
Through her beautiful song and deep emotions,
she showed us her infinite potentials.
Please give her a big hand.
Thank you so much.
(It's sad to say goodbye.)
(Thank you.)
Thank you.
Now that it's over,
I feel relieved.
But it's sad at the same time.
They praised me so much.
That alone made me happy.
In Round One,
Party Queen Grasshopper defeated Se Jeong from Gugudan.
She moves on to Round Two.
It's the second match of Round One.
He is an unstoppable singer from the wilderness.
It's Tough Guy Cowboy.
(Tough Guy Cowboy)
(He has no mercy.)
Bang, bang, bang.
I'll shoot my song to you today.
(Take my bullet.)
(He aims at the panelists' hearts.)
Opposing him is...
an innocent singer whose song has the feeling of mother nature.
It's Cute Little Native American.
(Cute Little Native American)
(I shoot, shoot, shoot)
(Cute Little Native American fires an arrow.)
(Hello.)
(He's cute.)
(He approaches the center of the stage.)
(Playful)
(He carefully pokes Cowboy.)
(Cowboy shoots him and he falls down.)
What is that? Is that part of their script?
(It's so childish.)
They are doing a skit.
They went too far.
(Cowboy and Native American...)
(are on the stage together.)
(What song will they sing?)
("Toy Soldier" by Park Kang Sung)
What song is this?
It's "Toy Soldier".
(It's a sorrowful ballad.)
(Will those naughty boys sing it well?)
(My goodness.)
(He has a great voice.)
(Unlike his manly image,)
(he has a soft and delicate voice.)
(It touches their hearts softly.)
(My goodness.)
(Unlike his image, he has a tough and thick voice.)
(He deeply expresses a man's sorrow.)
(We have a tough guy over here.)
(He bursts out his masculine sensitivity.)
(He captivates the audience...)
(with his maturity and charisma.)
(Cowboy's soft sensitivity...)
(delivers calmly and fondly.)
(It's amazing.)
(Panelists are touched by their song.)
(It's so sorrowful.)
(Their singing styles are the complete opposite.)
(That's why they harmonize even more delicately.)
(Who are they?)
(I think I know this voice.)
(He sounds a little nervous.)
(His voice is heartrending.)
(Native American's sincerity deeply reaches out to people.)
(What meaning)
(Will I have to you)
(I will be something)
(Unforgettable)
(A sad reminiscence lies in "Toy Soldiers".)
It was a match between real men.
(It was a match between real men.)
I wonder who they are.
The second match of Round One is over.
Say hello to our viewers.
Hello.
I'm a tough guy, Cowboy.
- Bang, bang, bang. - Okay.
He is a man from the West.
He's a tough guy.
That was Cowboy.
Hello.
(Hello)
I'm Cute Little Native American.
All right. He sounds like a cute little kid despite his big build.
He's Cute Little Native American.
Hyun Chul, what did you think?
As for Cowboy,
I think he was extremely nervous.
- Was he? - Yes, I think so.
- He was shy on the stage. - Okay.
He sang...
perfectly in tune.
Doing that isn't easy for amateur singers.
He has a beautiful voice and sings perfectly in tune.
It reminds me of an old singer Kang Eun Chul.
- Right. - Kang Eun Chul.
(His was famous in the 80s for his beautiful voice.)
- Who sang "A Road to Sampo"? - Right.
Unlike Cowboy,
Native American...
sings briskly.
He has a thick voice and uses deep vibrato.
Given his costume...
Rather than a horse,
he looks like he'd ride a motorcycle.
- Does he look that way? - Yes.
He's wearing ripped jeans.
You're saying jeans don't match his nickname, Native American.
They're supposed to wear an outfit...
that goes well with the mask, just like Cowboy.
But it's a bit strange that...
Native American is wearing a sweater.
(Giggling)
Yes. I think he's exaggerating things a bit...
including his voice. Don't you think he exaggerated his voice?
However...
If I had to guess what their professions are,
I'd say they're both singers.
Hyun Chul thinks they're both singers.
I sensed the wildness that...
Native American has.
When we hear master singers sing,
they often just sing roughly and expect us to enjoy it on our own.
It feels like they tell us to enjoy and evaluate it on our own.
I think Native American has an aura of a master singer.
I feel like he's someone that...
we don't need to distinguish whether he is a singer or not.
He seems like a man who loves music as much as a musician...
and someone who is close to music.
(What is he doing?)
- That's how you felt. - Yes.
(He comes very closely to Seong Ju.)
(Whispering)
That's what I'm talking about.
His actions are unpredictable.
Native American says...
I'm sorry to interrupt you. He says he's hot.
He wants to take off his sweater.
Please understand.
- You shouldn't have worn a sweater. - Your scarf, too.
It was a bit cold at first.
I think he's someone who never listens to anyone.
The staff must have told him not to wear a sweater,
but I think he insisted.
- He was hot. - He'd never listen to others.
As for Cowboy, he actually has...
- an amazingly beautiful voice. - I know, right?
Although it seems like he knows a lot about music as well,
he sang in falsetto when he wasn't really supposed to.
- Was it a mistake? - No.
It means he can't sing high notes.
He was supposed to sing them with his chest voice.
It means he couldn't do it.
But he was perfectly in tune even in falsetto.
Also, he knew exactly when he should...
breathe in and out.
- But he couldn't sing high notes. - He couldn't.
- I wonder why. - He knows how to do it,
but he can't sing high notes with his chest voice.
(It's a mystery.)
- It's interesting. - It's so hard to guess.
It's very hard to guess who Cowboy is.
- I have no idea. - I'm not sure if he's a singer.
When Cowboy was singing,
it strangely felt like...
I was an elementary school student again.
I'm certain that he is a singer of the 80s.
A singer of the 80s.
It felt like Native American was saying, "If you don't like my song."
"you can get out of here."
That's how he sang his song.
- He was free and wild. - Someone with a temper.
He's also confident. I'm sure he's an actor.
- An actor. - He's an actor who...
has released an album.
(What's wrong with him?)
Excuse me?
(Is there a problem?)
Please try to hold out. He wants to go to the restroom.
See? He's someone who does whatever he wants.
It won't take long.
Earlier, I saw a big smile...
on Young Seok's face.
He wants to go to the restroom.
So I should ask you to make it short.
All right. I could sense the air of...
Woodstock from Native American.
Woodstock? Who is he?
- It's... - Excuse me.
(He bursts into laughter.)
- It's a name of a festival. - Really? I thought it was a person.
No. It was one of the most famous rock festivals.
(Woodstock is a famous rock festival.)
- How can you think it's a person? - Am I the only one who didn't know?
- Woodstock. - Native American reminded me...
of Bob Dylan expressing his soul freely...
with an acoustic guitar on Woodstock.
I think Native American...
has developed his singing only with his soul,
not with his technique.
That's how I felt about his song.
- His music isn't by the textbook. - That's right.
- You should go. - Is it hard to hold it in?
Wait... Wait.
(He's got to go.)
Do you really have to go?
- My gosh. - Hey!
(I can't believe him.)
- Hey! - Please hold it in a little longer.
Didn't you expect this to happen? Did you drink a lot of water?
- You drank a lot of water. - He had a lot of water.
- Maybe he was nervous. - Why? Were you nervous?
You were very nervous.
All right. Please make it quick. Please hurry.
You should... It's that way. Please hurry up.
We should talk about Cowboy a little more.
What is it?
- Your sweater? - Why are you taking it?
You're supposed to come back.
We have to find out who the winner is!
You have to come back, Native American.
Why did he need his sweater to go to the restroom?
(He's the first one to go to the restroom in the middle of the show.)
(I really have to go.)
Gosh, now I can breathe.
(Gosh, now I can breathe.)
I can see that...
Cowboy is very flustered.
- Yes. - I'm sure...
being on this stage is a precious opportunity for everyone.
But Cowboy came here...
with a resolute determination today.
And Native American...
- Look what he's done. - He's out of control.
He even went out to use the restroom.
I'm sure you're feeling embarrassed.
Well,
why don't you show us your specialties?
Let's give Cowboy some time...
to freely show off his specialties.
I think he'll have enough time, but not enough specialties.
- Don't be biased. - Okay.
He can do different kinds of impersonations.
First of all, it's the crying sound of an elk.
- An elk? - The crying sound of an elk.
(This is what an elk looks like.)
(It looks cute.)
The crying sound of an elk.
(What will it sound like?)
(Screaming)
(Does it cry like that?)
(Shouting)
That's it. It was the crying sound of an elk.
- It was an elk. - An elk.
Not many people know how an elk cries,
but Jang Hyuk says that's exactly how an elk cries.
I can tell he often goes fishing. You can hear them cry at night.
- Really? - Listen.
Why don't you act like...
an elk appears and you draw your gun?
An elk appears and cries, then he draws his gun.
That's right.
An elk shows up and cries.
An elk shows up and cries,
- and you, Cowboy... - Draw your gun.
- draw a gun. - Make it look good.
Let's see the whole thing.
The elk cries, then you draw...
- Gosh, he's back. - Hey.
- He's back. - Cowboy was about to do it.
Hold on. Please stand here.
Now, let's try it again.
An elk cries and Cowboy takes out his gun.
Please show us.
(An elk cries.)
(Crying)
(He fires a gun.)
(That stings.)
He's quick on his feet.
It was Cowboy imitating the sound of an elk.
Now,
it's the sound of a crow cawing.
- They're all wild animals. - Yes. It's the sound of a crow.
Please show us.
(Cawing)
(He tilts his head.)
It's the elk.
Could you make the sound of the elk crying?
(Crying)
- Do the crow. - How about the crow?
(Cawing)
- It's different. - There's a difference.
It's hard to tell but there is a difference.
This time, he will imitate the movements of animals.
Firstly, show us the sloth. He's a sloth.
(He lies flat on the floor.)
(He moves slowly.)
Oh, my. It's detailed. It's very detailed.
It's very detailed. If you see it from up close, you'll see.
(Rushing)
- What is it, Native American? - What is he doing?
(He attacks Cowboy.)
(He's in pain.)
- He's really... - Wait.
I have no idea who he is.
- Cowboy. - Hold on.
- Cowboy. Are you close with him? - He got startled.
- What's wrong with that man? - Cowboy got awkward.
I met him for the first time through this show.
All right. Maybe Native American is...
a very outgoing person.
- It's hard to do what he just did. - I know. It's not easy.
- Do you feel better now? - Yes.
Hold on.
You should use your microphone. You just revealed your voice.
My goodness. Please use your microphone.
- Okay? - Yes.
- Good. Do you feel better? - Yes.
Great. Now,
Cowboy will impersonate several people's voices in a row.
Firstly, it's Lee Jung Jae.
"Look, Mr. Face Reader."
"Do I have the face of a king?"
(He's good.)
Next, it's Lee Soon Jae.
"We won't ask any questions. Anyone under 60 can apply."
(It all sounds similar.)
Can you impersonate Lee Jung Jae again?
"Look, Mr. Face Reader."
Lee Soon Jae.
"We won't ask any questions."
- He sounds like a comedian. - This must be different.
Please impersonate Choi Min Soo.
"Am I trembling?"
(He's funny.)
That was different.
Well. Can you do any impersonations, Native American?
"Do I look nervous?"
Can you impersonate Choi Min Soo?
"Look, Mr. Face Reader."
(Laughing)
Was that Lee Jung Jae or Choi Min Soo?
(It's the elk's crying sound.)
(What is he doing?)
(Fuming)
(Intimidated)
Let me ask you something.
Who is naughtier, your son or Native American?
I would give this man a few slaps on his back if I could.
- Gosh, he's testing my patience. - It feels like...
his gestures are similar to those of Kim Jang Hoon.
In fact, he looks very stylish. sbtitles ripped and synced by riri13
I guess he might be a characterful actor.
- I think he's Ryoo Seung Bum. - Ryoo Seung Bum?
- Yes. - Excuse me.
Ryoo Seung Bum is in France now.
- He could have come here. - He could've come by plane.
I don't think he'd come to do such things.
- There's no reason to do so. - After coming a long way.
Let's watch Native American's...
specialty, then.
He will show you how he whines.
Please show us.
(Shaking)
(Mom, I want a mask. Buy me one.)
That's it.
What was that? What did he just do?
Wait. There's one more. He will show you how to act cute.
Can you do that?
(Shy)
(That's it?)
(He hits Native American in the back.)
(Laughing)
He finally got hit.
- Stop it. - I knew he would.
You shouldn't have told us it was your specialty.
This is so embarrassing.
Well done anyway.
I think if Cowboy had a gun,
he'd have wanted to shoot Native American.
I'm serious.
When will you give me a gun?
(Eventually...)
Wait.
Did you get a gun?
You can shoot him if you don't like him.
It's just a toy gun.
Now, I will announce...
the result of the second match of Round One.
We have two singers with different singing styles.
Whose voice did you like better?
I'll now reveal the winner of this match.
(He has a delicate voice with an ingenuous mind.)
(His voice is delicate and subtle.)
(His husky voice scratches your heart.)
(His emotional voice has the best echo.)
Between Tough Guy Cowboy...
and Cute Little Native American,
who will win this match...
and move on to Round Two?
The winner is...
(It doesn't matter who wins or loses.)
Let me see your face.
(Everyone wants to see their faces.)
(Who will be the winner?)
Whoever wins this match...
will move on to Round Two.
Who will sing against Grasshopper in Round Two?
Who is the winner?
Please show us the result.
Who will move on to Round Two?
(Cute Little Native American wins.)
Cute Little Native American wins.
(It's Native American.)
(Native Indian beats Cowboy.)
(Congratulations.)
Native American won.
Native American wins.
(The final score is 34 to 65.)
With a final score of 65 to 34, Native Indian beat Cowboy and...
moved on to the next round.
(He is very excited.)
(You rascal!)
(Congratulations.)
Okay. It's over.
- The match ended. - Look at him.
Just take off his mask.
- I kind of hoped that... - Excuse me.
- Cowboy would win. - He's not showing...
any courtesy to his opponent.
Please stop it and go back to your waiting room.
Please give him a round of applause.
We will see Cute Little Native American again in Round Two.
(The shocking identity of Cowboy will be revealed soon.)
(Yes, I won!)
(Excited)
I will try my best in Round Two.
Let's go!
Who is this talented singer,
Tough Guy Cowboy?
We will reveal his identity with a solo performance.
Please give him a round of applause.
(He will reveal his identity with a solo performance.)
(He has a sweet voice.)
(He has very accurate intonation.)
(Is he a singer who was popular in 1980?)
(He sang in falsetto when he was not supposed to do so.)
(Is it that he can't hit high notes?)
("Yealulala" by Kang San Eh)
(The song makes everyone dance.)
(The song starts with exciting harmonica intro.)
(It is from Kang San Eh's first album released in 1993.)
(How would Cowboy's "Yealulala" sound like?)
(His voice sounds even more exciting.)
(This is exciting.)
(He sounds light and cheerful.)
(Cowboy has changed...)
(as if he runs through wide green field.)
(He sounds free.)
(This is nice.)
(His voice sounds delightful.)
(Hoorah, I'm alive)
(His cheerful song...)
(blows away stuffy feelings.)
(Yealulala)
Now, Tough Guy Cowboy, please take off your mask...
and reveal your identity.
(Oh, my goodness.)
Who is he?
Everyone recognizes him.
(Who is the popular singer, Tough Guy Cowboy?)
He is...
a professional guitarist and great musician,
Cho Jung Chi.
(Is he Cho Jung Chi?)
(What is happening?)
(What did you just say?)
I can't believe this.
Who is he?
(Startled)
(They all can't believe what is happening.)
(No one knew Cowboy was Cho Jung Chi.)
(Unbelievable)
(His voice is cool and powerful.)
(It's great to see you.)
(They are excited.)
(They didn't know what Jung Chi's voice sounds like.)
(It turns out his voice is as wonderful as his guitar playing.)
(Today, he sings his heart out as he pleases.)
(Shy)
(He fills the studio with excitement.)
(It's Cho Jung Chi's great deviation from the routine of his daily life.)
Thank you.
(It's Cho Jung Chi's great deviation from the routine of his daily life.)
- He's Jung Chi. - Yes!
It is very surprising.
(No one knew he had such a beautiful voice.)
Please say hello to our viewers.
Hello. I'm guitarist Cho Jung Chi.
(He is the best guitarist recognized by a lot of musicians.)
(Working actively in the music scene as a solo artist and in a group,)
(he has established his own world of music.)
(With his unique, whimsical character,)
(he is also very popular in many variety shows.)
(But once you get to know him, you will see he is a great lover.)
(He is successful at work and in love.)
(He is the romantic guitarist of the hour, Cho Jung Chi.)
No one ever expected to see him here.
Gu Ra seemed to be very surprised.
Jung Chi, you've gained a lot of weight.
Yes, I have.
In fact, my wife is pregnant, so I ate a lot with her.
- I see. - I can tell.
Your wife is expecting a baby, right?
Yes, we have less than two months left.
Less than two months. I see.
Today, you sang on the stage...
as a singer, not as a guitarist.
It felt a bit strange, though.
- I felt the same way. - I know.
There are many great players behind the stage.
In fact, I'd feel more comfortable sitting there.
But I've seen a lot of singers...
who sing alone on stage...
and was curious what it'd feel like to do so.
So you wanted to give it a try.
Now that I'm here, I think I shouldn't have given it a try.
- You didn't have to. - That's right.
The important thing is who you sing a duet with.
I see.
Cute Little Native American was very funny.
I will go home and watch a western film tonight.
I see.
You are a guitarist and a musician,
but I didn't know you had such a sentimental voice.
I had no idea it was you.
- Me, neither. - I kind of felt that...
you had good understanding of music.
But I didn't know why.
I think he fully showed us his sides as a musician...
through his performance.
Up to the point he performed on the stage,
Jung Chi suspected this...
to be a prank.
He thought the whole thing was a setup.
I didn't think this program would invite me to perform.
I looked around to see...
if there are any cameras during the preliminary meeting.
When I came here today,
I realized they wouldn't go this far to pull a prank on me.
That's when I realized I really am on King of Mask Singer.
- That's when you knew. - Yes.
- That's right. - You were hesitant at first.
You mustered up the courage to perform...
at the thought of your future child. Is that right?
The thought of having a child...
makes me want to change.
I simply wanted to become a good father.
I wanted to practice being one.
He will soon be a father.
He wanted to be a father who can impress a child.
Today, he performed as a singer, not a guitarist.
The soon-to-be father,
Cho Jung Chi challenged himself courageously.
Please give him a big round of applause.
(We root for Cho Jung Chi who will become a father soon.)
(Good luck, Cho Jung Chi.)
(You are the best.)
I've been performing on stage for almost 20 years.
It's strange because while the stage isn't very big,
standing on different positions of the small stage...
allows you to feel different emotions.
To be honest,
I think singers need to be born with talent.
I don't think I'm destined to sing.
Playing the guitar is what I was destined to do.
Performing on the show made me realize that.
Cute Little Native American beat Cho Jung Chi...
and moved on to Round Two.
Right after this show ends, the online mobile survey...
on this week's masked singers by netizens will proceed.
Please join the survey.
Now, the third match...
of Round One will begin.
This is the third match of Round One.
He has a voice that brings good luck.
Wish You All the Best for 2017.
(Wish You All the Best for 2017)
(To wish you all the best for 2017,)
(I have prepared an energetic performance.)
(You reassure us, All the Best.)
The best outcome for him is becoming King of Mask Singer.
I wish you all the best.
- I wish you all the best. - Thanks. I wish you all the best.
Thank you.
Opposing him is...
It's either go or stop.
He will aim to become the King of Mask Singer.
Bi Gwang and Your Story.
(Bi Gwang and Your Story)
(The frog is jumping.)
(They attract everyone's attention.)
(How cute!)
(Even Bi Gwang is startled.)
- What is that? - My goodness.
It's a frog.
- What is that? - There is a frog on the card.
It's the frog.
He is wearing a flashy outfit.
He's stocky.
(The frog is a scene stealer.)
Who is that? I wonder who the frog is.
(The frog exits the stage.)
He's hopping back.
This is insane.
(Only the two masked singers remain on the stage.)
(An entertaining entrance and flashy outfits...)
(could mean that they are comedians or models.)
(The two flower-like men will sing a duet.)
(What kind of performance have they prepared?)
("Expressing Affections" by Flower)
(Oh, my.)
(He leads the performance with a rocker's vocalization.)
He is a rocker!
(His cheerful and beautiful voice uplifts the listeners.)
(What is going on?)
(He is a rocker with a deep voice.)
(My goodness.)
(His voice is heavy like a thick log.)
(All the Best releases his power.)
(I won't lose.)
(He sings rhythmically and brings out his energy.)
(He makes the atmosphere cheerful.)
(Who is he? His voice sounds familiar.)
(He sings as if he will rush toward his woman on a motorcycle.)
(He is tough and manly.)
(There is sentimentality in his bubbly energy.)
(The young man's love stirs up the protective instinct.)
(These two men...)
(are on their way to confess their love.)
(My goodness.)
(Their performance flutters the hearts of the audience.)
(Join us.)
(Their heartfelt confession...)
(makes everyone join in.)
(Let's go.)
(They have perfect teamwork.)
(They perform as if they have been partners for a long time.)
(Their voices become one.)
(Two men's confession of love, "Expressing Affections")
(The performance was exciting and passionate.)
They are good.
(Oh, my.)
They're good.
Didn't both of them do a great job?
All three matches we have seen are competitive.
(You are the best.)
(So are you.)
The third match of Round One came to an end.
Hyun Chul, your jaw was dropped...
until the end of the performance.
No matter how evenly matched the masked singers were,
I always had a preference.
With this match, I have no clue who to vote for.
- Is it a difficult decision? - Yes.
It felt like the performance was given...
by one person.
- The duet deserves a perfect score. - That's right.
However, you will have to choose one masked singer.
When All the Best harmonized,
he used the head voice of a rocker.
The person who has a lot to say about this performance...
has to be Jang Hyuk.
Was this premeditated?
You called him as if he is a correspondent.
- Correspondent Cho Jang Hyuk? - All the Best...
had the textbook posture of a rocker.
When the intro played, he leaned on his one leg...
and began to shake his other leg.
- He did that. - Did he?
It's a textbook posture of a rocker.
(I refuse to be polite.)
(He is trying to look cool already.)
He sure is a rocker.
He also had diction that is best suited...
for rock music.
(My heart fluttered)
(My heart fluttered and I closed my eyes)
(He sure is a rocker.)
Is he a rocker?
- He is a rocker. - A rocker.
I am sure he is a rocker.
Bi Gwang did something...
during the break time that came after the first verse.
He gave a rejoinder.
(Yes)
(It was an unusual rejoinder.)
He gave a very unique rejoinder.
- "Yes!" - "Yes!"
It is often used...
in hip hop.
- Hip hop. - Yes, I got a hint of hip hop.
(He had the voice of a rocker.)
Also, he grabbed his microphone...
in a way his index finger is placed under his nose.
(His index finger was wrapped around the microphone.)
(Hip hop musicians do that.)
He grabbed it like this.
When he sang,
he expressed rhythm in a unique way.
He sang a rock song...
like a hip hop song.
I think he could be a hip hop musician.
Kai, you were applauding as you were watching the performance.
The word that summarizes All the Best's performance is...
"Confidence".
- He had confidence? - Yes.
Right. From head to toe, he's overflowing with confidence.
- Yes. - I want to praise him highly...
because I think that's very important for a performer.
Singers would know this.
Your voice needs to be trained well to hit high notes,
and his voice is very well trained.
That makes him perfect as a rock singer.
His voice is well trained to hit high notes.
Yes. I want to praise him highly for that.
- Bi Gwang is... - What do you think of Bi Gwang?
very witty.
- He's witty? - That's right.
I think this genre is not his strongest forte.
If he sang a genre he could sing better,
he would've gotten more votes. He might have wanted that.
But it's apparent from his attitude...
that he is a professional. So don't worry too much.
I expect that he got many votes.
- I see. - Yes.
He said that Bi Gwang is talented and witty.
I also think Bi Gwang sings...
- many genres other than rock. - Do you think so?
I think All the Best...
- is the real rocker. - You think he's a rocker.
If All the Best sings an authentic rock song...
on Round Two or Three,
he would sing even better.
- I think he's an amazing rocker. - He's a high-class rocker.
- Yes. - I think...
if there was a Korean rocker...
as well built as him,
he would've played a big role...
in making rock music more popular in Korea.
- But we do have to check his face. - Right.
For rock music...
to attract new listeners,
- rockers need good looks. - Right.
Having a nice voice is the basic requirement.
Lee Hyuk from Norazo satisfies...
- those requirements. - Lee Hyuk.
(Norazo is a witty rock band that is amazingly talented.)
(Lee Hyuk is the vocalist with charismatic looks.)
- Lee Hyuk would satisfy them. - Lee Hyuk.
But we've never heard him...
sing authentic rock music.
His body is even nicer than Lee Hyuk's.
He's a little taller, and he's got a big chest.
If there is a rocker with such a perfect appearance,
Korean rock would've...
become more popular.
So I think he's an actor rather than a rocker.
- An actor? - Yes.
There's actor named Lee Jae Yoon.
(That's right.)
- Lee Jae Yoon. - Lee Jae Yoon.
(He starred in "Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok Joo" recently.)
(He's got a tall and strong body.)
Right.
- He looks like Lee Jae Yoon. - Lee Jae Yoon.
But he sings like a professional rocker.
He can't not be a rocker.
- I know. - It was perfect.
- Was it perfect? - Yes.
We used to hear Yoon Seok's comment last, but let's hear it now.
In my opinion, I think this was...
a match between a rocker and a fan of rock.
- Rocker versus rock music fan. - Rock music fan.
- Is he just a fan? - He just likes rock.
Like someone mentioned earlier,
his expressions during the song...
were very unlike rock music. All the Best went like...
(He impersonates All the Best.)
(Yes)
I think he's a vocal...
- of Yada or Emerald Castle. - Emerald Castle.
I think he could be a vocal of those rock bands.
(He has a strong body.)
- That's my prediction. - Someone in Yada looks like that?
- I think it's possible. - Really?
- Yes. - I see.
All right. All the Best...
used to do break dance when he was little.
(He's a dancer too.)
He prepared a break dance for us.
Let's see All the Best's break dance.
Music, please.
(Here we go.)
He used to be a break dancer.
(Nineteen)
(One kick)
He's sweeping the stage.
(The finishing move is...)
(Nike B-boying.)
Isn't he amazing? He has a great sense of balance.
Great. Please give it up for him.
(They are giving him a standing ovation.)
- Goodness. - Isn't he amazing?
We will show you everything.
He's very good at impersonations too.
First, he will impersonate Kim Jang Hoon.
Please show us.
(If you feel the same as me)
Why?
That's it. That's it.
(He's just like Jang Hoon.)
Good job.
Nice kick.
He will impersonate Kim Jung Min next.
Now
Stop crying
Let's cut it there.
- Goodness, I... - He's the best so far.
Isn't he a comedian? Maybe he's a comedian who sings rock well.
That's possible too.
(The King of Mask Singer is about to eat his snack.)
(He's astonished.)
All the Best is very talented.
It's Bi Gwang's turn to show us his specialty.
Kai said he was very witty
He prepared...
many impersonations for us.
First, he will impersonate Kim Gun Mo.
When it rains like this
I miss you, Kim Gun Mo
He sure is very witty.
He will impersonate Cho Jang Hyuk next.
(Me?)
Cho Jang Hyuk.
Did you forget
(He's embarrassed.)
(The original singer disapproves of him.)
That's it.
I know who it is. I figured it out.
It was him. He sings quite well.
- He's wearing heels. - Wait.
- He's wearing heels. - Yes.
And his hat is too big for him.
His actual height is actually below where the eyes on the mask are.
- No way. - I'm serious.
- You mean he's this tall. - I'm sure of it.
- I'm sure of it. - He's upset.
(He seems to know who Bi Gwang is.)
- Gu Ra must have someone in mind. - Yes.
Seul Ong, are you reminded of anyone?
I have absolutely no idea who Bi Gwang might be.
You have no idea what Gu Ra is talking about, right?
- He disguised himself well. - Did he?
- Did he do well? - He disguised himself well.
Who is it?
All right.
Now, I will announce the result now.
Which mask singer made it to Round Two?
I'll now reveal...
the winner of this match.
It was the third match of Round One.
(All the Best had a heavy and powerful voice.)
(We could feel his rock spirit.)
(Will it be All the Best?)
(Bi Gwang had a light, cheerful, and energetic voice.)
(His singing was exciting and rhythmical.)
(Will it be Bi Gwang?)
Who is the winner...
who will move on to Round Two?
The winner is...
All the Best. All the Best.
Bi Gwang. I like Bi Gwang.
(Will All the Best make it to Round Two?)
(Or will Bi Gwang go to Round Two?)
Will it be All the Best or Bi Gwang?
Will it Bi Gwang or All the Best?
Let's find out who the winner is. The winner of the third match...
The winner is...
All the Best.
(All the Best won.)
(All the Best made it to Round Two.)
That's too bad.
(What's the score difference?)
All the Best won.
(All the Best received 56 votes, and Bi Gwang received 43 votes.)
He beat Bi Gwang with the score of 56 to 43,
a small vote difference. All the Best became the winner.
Please move to the waiting room. Please give him a round of applause.
All the Best became the winner.
So this is what it feels like to have a dry mouth.
Let's make the best out of Round Two!
Who is this witty guy Bi Gwang?
While singing alone,
he will reveal his identity. Please give him a warm round of applause.
(His identity will be revealed.)
(His unique expressions...)
(tell us that he might be a hip hop musician.)
(He's a witty guy.)
- I think he's a witty guy. - He's witty?
(He made everyone laugh with his impersonations.)
(I got it. I figured it out.)
(Gu Ra said he is much shorter than he appears.)
(Is he really the person on Gu Ra's mind?)
("That I Was Once By Your Side" by Toy)
- Whose song is this? - Isn't this Toy's song?
(It's a classic sad breakup song.)
He's good.
(He sings quietly and plainly as if he's talking.)
(His light breathing...)
(delivers loneliness.)
(He sings sensitively and delicately.)
(His singing makes you sing along with all your heart.)
(As opposed to the duet song, his voice sounds soft and mellow.)
(Bi Gwang has a wide range of vocal tone.)
Now, Bi Gwang, please take off your mask...
and reveal your face.
(Screaming)
(I love him.)
He is...
People seem to love him.
The female audience is so happy to see him.
(Who are you?)
He is...
He's the rising star of many variety shows.
Din Din, a rapper with five years of experience.
(The playful Din Din?)
My gosh.
(It's good to see you, Din Din.)
- He's a good singer. - He's very good.
Why is he so good?
(He surprised everyone.)
(He's handsome.)
(Because of the biases, everyone failed to see...)
(what an amazing singer he is.)
(Today, Din Din sings seriously on stage as a singer.)
(Oh, my.)
(His ardent voice fills up the stage.)
(An emotional stage of Din Din whom everyone thought was a giddy goat)
(Embarrassed)
He sings better than he raps.
Gosh, he's a great singer.
(He sings so well.)
Hello, everyone. I'm Din Din. It's good to see you. Hello.
(He's a passionate rapper with five years of experience.)
(He drew attention with his unique voice as he debuted.)
(On a recent project of "Infinite Challenge",)
(he became a popular rapper with his enlightening lyrics.)
(On many variety shows,)
(he showed his innocent charms.)
(He became the rising star of variety shows.)
(He is an unpredictable man with many charms.)
(Din Din is an all-round rapper who is shining on variety shows.)
Gu Ra, you watched his specialty and recognized who he was.
Did you think it was Din Din?
Yes. I was really surprised. I didn't know he could sing so well.
I've only seen him being so flippant...
- and shallow. - Right.
I didn't know he could be a serious singer.
Yes. I know, right?
Actually, as Din Din recently started...
to draw attention as the rising star of variety shows,
many people think he is a new comedian...
or a new entertainer.
There're a lot of people who think so.
You know about their biases, right?
People like Bewhy don't say...
they're rappers when they introduce themselves,
but I always introduce myself as rapper Din Din .
- You have to mention it. - I have to.
Someone told me that she thought I was a new comedian of KBS.
She said she saw me on "Gag Concert".
Many people say that I can't be serious about anything,
but I'm supposed to make people laugh...
on TV shows, right?
I just thought I didn't have to be serious on those shows.
I thought about which show I can be serious on.
I wanted to show you that I can be serious.
And that I can become serious when it comes to music.
Whenever I see Din Din on TV shows,
I actually think I want to be shallow like him.
Is that so?
- Some people are jealous of you. - Is that a compliment?
- Yes. - It's a compliment.
It's because I'm too serious about everything.
I always feel heavy burden on my shoulders.
When I see him say things that make people happy,
I envy him.
Your shoes make you look shallow. It's okay.
- Right? - Yes
(He can make people laugh with his fashion.)
Din Din actually made a very special request to our staff.
"If I become the King of Mask Singer..."
(The King of Mask Singer?)
Look at that. That's why I said he is flippant, shallow,
hasty, and rash.
"If I become the King of Mask Singer, please change..."
"the day of shooting from Tuesday to Thursday."
Do you prefer Thursdays?
- I'm busy on Tuesdays. - I see.
The funny thing is that I didn't expect to win at first,
but I somehow started to feel like I was going to win.
- You thought you had a chance. - I said, "What if..."
- "I become the king?" - You should clear your schedule.
They said it was unlikely.
- They did. - The staff members said that?
You can keep shooting the show on Tuesday.
You're busy on Tuesdays anyway. Good.
Today, he wasn't the rising star of the variety shows.
Din Din showed off...
his surprising charms with a sincere stage.
Please give him a big round of applause.
(We'll look forward to your exciting music and performance.)
(Smiling)
I let you win.
Gosh, I really let him win on purpose.
I let him win. I'm serious.
What I want to say to the public is that...
I plan to keep...
showing you my true self without pretense.
I'm a good person.
I hope you'll give me a lot of support.
It was Bi Gwang and Din Din's Story.
Thank you.
(He's polite.)
Wish You All the Best for 2017 defeated Din Din...
and moved on to Round Two.
The last match of Round One.
Her voice brings you good fortune for the New Year.
Happy New Year Greeting Card.
(I'm here to give you good fortune.)
I invite you to the world of my music.
(Ladylike)
(Welcome)
My gosh, she's so petite.
She looks very graceful.
Her opponent...
sings like a passionate newlywed bride full of dreams.
New Year Newlywed Bride Hen.
(Here comes the queen of the hens.)
I will light up the New Year's morning with my song.
(Cackling)
(Graceful)
(She's pretty.)
She's very composed.
She's elegant. She looks so elegant.
I think those two will be great, too.
I can't wait.
(The stage of these two women lights up the New Year.)
(However, only one of them can move on to Round Two.)
(What kind of a stage are they going to show us?)
("Goodbye" by Park Hye Kyoung)
(Goodbye to them all)
(Their harmony sounds fresh like a blooming flower.)
(Hen skillfully takes the lead from the start.)
(It's a lovely goodbye.)
(Oh, my.)
(She sounds shy at times.)
(Amazed)
(Her clear and pure voice invites spring to come.)
(She whispers sweetly.)
(I love it.)
(Oh, my.)
(She controls the dynamics as if she's talking.)
(Forget about the bad memories of the past.)
(Get ready to enjoy the happy days ahead.)
(They make the song more refreshing with their clear voices.)
(Goodbye now)
(They're cute.)
(Her shy and beautiful voice makes you feel better.)
(She exudes her lovely voice from all over her body.)
(Her voice sounds firm and solid.)
(Say hello to the happy days of this year.)
(It is a New Year gift that makes everyone smile.)
She has a lilting voice.
Her voice sounds familiar.
(The two women with lucky voices are enjoying the song.)
They sing very well.
(He's making a heart gesture.)
(All your worries will disappear in the New Year.)
(Say hello to the nice sunny days)
(Dancing)
(They sing in perfect harmony.)
(Their voices bring happiness for the New Year.)
(To whom do these voices belong to?)
(They show a refreshing performance singing "Goodbye" in harmony.)
(You are so beautiful.)
They are cute.
They are lively.
I think she is someone famous.
I think so. She sings very well.
Who on earth are they?
Young Seok, you greeted them with a great big smile.
I feel cleansed.
It's not a matter of good or bad.
I just couldn't take my eyes off Greeting Card.
When they sang together looking at each other,
she was one beat behind.
- When they looked at each other? - Yes.
Hen looked so natural doing that.
She even tried to lead her partner.
But Greeting Card kept forgetting all about it.
She looked at her partner one beat late.
(It's the part where they sang in harmony.)
(It looks like as if she just missed a bus.)
(Stiff and natural)
You noticed that?
Yes. But she looked...
shy and lively at the same time.
In that respect,
I can't even give a rating to her characterful performance.
In fact, Hen is a master singer.
- Is she a master singer? - Yes, I could tell by her voice.
On a grand piano,
- there is the thinnest string. - Right.
It is the hardest and tightest string.
When you strike the note, it makes a clear sound.
Her voice sounds like the note. She even has great singing technique.
I loved it.
From the perspective of a man,
the fourth match was my favorite.
- Was it? - Yes.
It had the energy...
that makes men happy.
Hen's voice made me...
want to go out with a girl.
Her voice made you feel that way.
Meanwhile, Greeting Card made me want to get married.
It made you want to get married.
Is that how you differed them?
While Hen was cute and lively,
Greeting Card was shy and modest.
That's how I felt.
Maybe that's how men enjoyed their performance.
Kai, I saw you enjoying the song with your hands put together.
- Right. - How did you like it?
Hen.
It is the Year of the Rooster.
And eggs are very expensive these days.
What does that have to do with this?
- Chicken is expensive these days. - That's right.
- It is expensive. - And she is valuable.
- Is she valuable? - When she sang "Goodbye",
she looked elegant waving her hand.
(She made graceful gestures.)
I fell in love with her there.
Meanwhile, it's not a common thing...
that people exchange greeting cards.
- That's right. - I feel sorry about that.
In fact, I felt as if...
I got a greeting card from an unexpected person.
I was very excited and grateful...
listening to Greeting Card sing.
I think it's time...
to see their specialties.
Greeting Card goes first.
Her specialty is Kongjwi Padjwi beatbox...
and making cartoon characters' sounds.
I'm not sure what it is though.
Please show us the beatbox first.
Kongjwi and Padjwi, Kongjwi and Padjwi
(Kongjwi and Padjwi)
(Beatboxing)
(Kongjwi and Padjwi)
(That's amazing.)
(She starts beatboxing again.)
(Dancing)
(Bursting into laughter)
(Kongjwi and Padjwi)
(The beatbox turns into a song.)
(Breathing in)
That's it.
(Her specialty catches everyone's eyes.)
- She's good. - That was Kongjwi Padjwi beatbox.
She can also imitate the sound of Super Mario jumping.
She says she can make the sound.
Please show us.
(Humming)
(They burst into laughter.)
(Seong Ju looks excited.)
There's even more.
She can make the sound of water dripping.
(Listen carefully.)
(Water dripping)
(This is the sound of water dripping in a cave.)
It's the sound of water dripping in a cave.
I helped you a lot, didn't I?
Yes, you did.
- You saved my face. - I did.
- Thank you. - From the way she talks,
I guess she's not TV personality.
She sounds experienced.
I think she's done a lot of interviews.
So to speak, she talks like Park Ji Sung.
- Park Ji Sung? - She's voluble but boring.
She sounds like a successful athlete,
but she doesn't have a good sense of humor.
- You think so? - Yes.
I think she's a bit old.
When she talks with Seong Ju,
she sounded very mature saying, "I agree."
Is she a married woman?
- Yes. - She's a married woman.
That's so not true.
She is like a baby.
She acts like an old woman.
- She just pretends to be a girl. - Opinions are divided on the point.
- Wait. - Okay.
Actually, I looked at her shoulders.
Do you see her shoulders?
Her left shoulder is higher than her right shoulder.
That's right.
What sorts of athletes have such shoulders?
Her left shoulder is higher than her right shoulder.
- Golf? - Her right shoulder is low.
It means she's a golfer.
Her right shoulder is lower than her left one?
She's like this.
(Golfers tend to use one arm more often than the other.)
That's true, but...
I see.
But I don't think golfers...
have the time to appear on this show.
- The golf season has started. - They are very busy.
Okay then.
Let's watch Hen's specialty.
She will sing "Tell Me" with her real voice...
while dancing to the song.
Music, please.
("Tell Me" by Wonder Girls)
Start singing.
(Dancing gently)
(She looks just like a member of Wonder Girls.)
(The point is Sun Mi's unique pronunciation.)
(Never knew that I could be the one for you)
(She imitates the choreography perfect.)
(She becomes So Hee.)
(Singing with passion)
(Thinking this fantasy could never be real)
(She even makes the same gestures.)
(Oh, my)
(Dancing Hen)
(Tell me, tell me)
(She's dancing to the song just like the members of Wonder Girls.)
(It was a flawless finish.)
That's it.
- I'm sure she's a singer. - She sang and danced.
She looked like a member of Wonder Girls.
She's like five members of Wonder Girls put together.
It was her real voice.
She is a great dancer...
- and a great singer. - Right.
But as time went by, she became out of breath.
She began breathing hard.
I don't think she's a dance music singer.
Did you notice that?
Ye Bin of DIA.
Do you think there's an idol singer?
- I think Hen is an idol singer. - Hen?
She's a great singer and dancer.
I bet she's a new singer, though.
It hasn't been a long time since her debut.
She must have worked hard for her performance...
as she wanted to show all about herself today.
So I guess she's a new singer.
Yoon Seok, do you have a different opinion?
I'm sure...
- Hen is a singer. - Are you sure?
She's a veteran singer.
I saw her doing this when she showed her specialty.
This is what veteran singers do when they sing.
She's a professional singer.
I bet she is Lee Hae Ri of Davichi.
That's right.
(She is a skilled singer.)
Lee Hae Ri of Davichi?
Now, I will announce...
the result of the fourth match of Round One.
I'll now reveal the winner of this match.
Who is the winner of the fourth match of Round One?
(Hen showed off her lovely charms with her lilting voice.)
(With her pure and clear voice,)
(Greeting Card captured the hearts of the audience.)
(Greeting Card and Hen showed the perfect harmony.)
Who is the fourth winner who will move on to Round Two?
The winner is...
Who's the winner?
The winner is...
(The last winner is...)
The winner is...
I'll now reveal the winner of this match.
Who is the winner?
The winner will compete with All the Best in Round Two.
Who will move on to Round Two?
Who will be the winner...
between Greeting Card and Hen? Who is the winner?
Who is the winner?
Hen is the winner.
- My goodness. - That's it.
(I feel sorry for Greeting Card.)
- I feel sorry for her. - Hen did a great job.
Greeting Card was so lovely.
Hen defeated Greeting Card...
with a final score of 70 to 29.
Please return to your waiting room.
Please give her a big hand.
(The identity of Greeting Card will be revealed soon.)
(She gives off her elegant charm until the end.)
It was so fun. I will do better...
in Round Two.
Hen moves on to Round Two.
Please stay tuned.
(I will sing my best in Round Two.)
To whom does this familiar voice...
belong to?
We will reveal Greeting Card's identity...
with a solo performance.
Be prepared to be surprised.
Give her a big hand.
(Her identity will be revealed during her solo performance.)
(She's shy yet cheerful.)
(She has a unique voice.)
(He wants to get married to her because of her voice.)
(She's a typical athlete without a sense of humor.)
(She shows her sense of humor.)
(She shows her specialty with all her heart.)
(Her beatbox surprised everyone.)
(She has an unusual sense of rhythm. Who would Greeting Card be?)
("When Love Passes" by Lee Moon Sae)
(The prelude melts people's hearts.)
(My goodness.)
(She has a crystal clear voice.)
- It's so good. - It melts my heart.
(She touches people's hearts...)
(with her pure and soft voice.)
(She sings delicately...)
(with all her heart.)
Who is that?
(The more they hear, the more curious they get.)
(She sings the high notes cleanly.)
Now, Greeting Card, please take off your mask...
and reveal your face.
(My goodness.)
(They clap excitingly.)
Greeting Card is...
- She's amazing. - She is.
She's my type of singer.
(Who could Greeting Card be?)
- Who is that? - Who on earth is she?
(He gets up suddenly.)
She is...
the first Asian to be ranked number one in the world.
She is a world-class golf player, Shin Ji Yai.
(They can't believe Shin Ji Yai is here.)
(Queen of golf has returned.)
It's unbelievable.
(My goodness.)
I almost got it.
I didn't know she had such a beautiful voice.
(She started golf when she was 12 years old.)
(She reigned in the field of golf as the best.)
(She won many championships.)
(She won four trophies in the Women's World Golf Championships.)
(She marked the most wins in Korean, Japan, and China.)
(She became the youngest winner among Korean female golfers.)
(She was the first Asian who won in the Women's World Golf Rankings.)
(Final Queen has returned.)
(Golf queen, Shin Ji Yai's in King of Mask Singer.)
(She's shy.)
(They can't believe she's there.)
(She laughs.)
(She's shy.)
(No one imagined this soft voice...)
(from the golf champion.)
(She shows her surprisingly lovely and girlish charms.)
(She's on the stage as a singer, not as a world-class golfer.)
(Shin Ji Yai sings with her beautiful voice.)
(Her "When Love Passes" heals people's broken hearts.)
(She is the best.)
That was the best performance of this week for me.
Her voice is so beautiful.
Her voice is amazing.
It's unbelievable.
Say hello to viewers.
Hi, it's been a long time.
I'm a golfer Shin Ji Yai. Nice to meet you.
(Nice to meet you.)
She is the first Asian...
who got the first place...
in the Women's World Golf Rankings.
There are only two players...
who got the first place...
in the World Golf Rankings. They're Shin Ji Yai and Park In Bee.
Am I right?
My goodness.
(They are so proud of them.)
Among Korean golf players,
she won 47 times...
in Korea, Japan, and China.
She recorded most wins.
Our staff members...
tried hard to cast her...
for seven months.
She's finally here.
What made you...
come on the show?
I haven't played in Korean championships...
for two years.
I've been focused on Japanese championships.
I didn't get the chances meet you.
I decided to come and say hello since it's the New Year.
I had double-eyelid surgery done and lost some weight as well.
You lost weight and the surgery went well.
Many people don't recognize me these days.
- So... - You are much prettier.
Thank you. I wanted to say hi.
Thank you for coming.
When she was beatboxing,
- her sense of rhythm was amazing. - Right.
We had many athletes on the show before,
but she was the first one to switch up the melody.
- She did that? - Yes, in the middle of the song.
She did?
(In the middle of the song...)
(She switched up the melody.)
(She's amazing.)
Where could we possibly hear Shin Ji Yai sing...
- other than on King of Mask Singer? - That's right.
It just amazes me. Thank you.
(It's just amazing to hear her sing.)
For our viewers,
can you please show one of your golf specialties if you have any?
- Please show us. - I'm not sure if it's possible...
- since she's wearing hanbok. - Like this?
Just try your best.
(She shows her golf specialty in her hanbok.)
It's her golf specialty.
She gets a ball on the golf club.
(Swinging)
(It seems like it's stuck.)
The ball doesn't drop. This is it.
This is it. She's amazing.
It's actually really hard.
Let's see her golf swing.
(Queen of golf shows her swing.)
Nice shot, Ms. Shin.
(She swings the ball far away.)
Nice shot, Ms. Shin.
(My goodness.)
(Happy New Year.)
That was impressive. She did that in hanbok.
As a golfer who loves music,
Shin Ji Yai showed her passion for music.
Please wish her a successful year...
with a round of applause.
Good luck, Shin Ji Yai. Shin Ji Yai.
Thank you.
Playing golf is easier.
Today, I said hello to the viewers in hanbok.
I will soon give good performances on the field.
Please give me your support.
Your support makes me work hard.
I will try my best to become the money leader this year.
Thank you for watching my performance. Happy New Year.
