They can act cute. They can also dance.
Talented singers showed...
great duet performances.
And...
there are four singers...
who gallop into the throne even on the holidays.
Party Queen Grasshopper.
Cute Little Native American.
Wish You All the Best for 2017.
New Year Newlywed Bride Hen.
And...
there's the singer who started...
a new era of King of Mask Singer with his great singing skills.
The 47th King of Mask Singer, Red Bean Warrior Anpan Prince.
According to the online mobile survey,
netizens' expectation for the 48th King of Mask Singer is...
Red Bean Warrior Anpan Prince...
who captures women's hearts with his voice.
New Year Newlywed Bride Hen took second place after him.
(Their voices would cut the ground from under your feet.)
(It is a perfect voice that stirs your heart.)
(It is surprising.)
(It's simply wonderful.)

Or will Anpan Prince be on a winning streak?

It's Cute Little Native American.
(Cute Little Native American)
(Good luck, Native American!)
(Cutie is here.)
(It's nice to see you.)
It's Native American.
- Who could that be? - He looks playful.
(Native American is mischievous.)
(His emotions fill his heart.)
(Native American sings heartrending songs.)
(He sings from his soul. He has an aura of a master singer.)
(We don't need to distinguish...)
(whether he is a singer or not.)
(Native American is a loose cannon.)
(He excused himself to go to the men's room.)
(It's the first time a singer leaves the stage to go to the toilet.)
(You must come back to find out who the winner is.)
(I'm back.)
Just on time.
(He's playful again.)
(Why are you doing this to me?)
(He's a troublemaker.)
Can you do impersonations?
(Am I trembling?)
Can you impersonate Choi Min Soo?
(Look, Mr. Face Reader.)
Was that Lee Jung Jae or Choi Min Soo?

The first match...
of Round Two has ended.
Would you like to say hello to each other?
- Hello. - I knew it.
Attention. Bow. Great.
(He walks over.)
Okay.
(It's nice to meet you.)
He hasn't changed.
(He's still mischievous.)
- Have you been to the toilet? - Yes.
- Please use your microphone. - Yes.
All right. I ask for your cooperation.
For a smooth flow,
I ask for your cooperation.
(Hitting lightly)
My goodness.
It's like taming a foal. Okay.
Jang Hyuk, did you find out anything new?
Native American doesn't rely on techniques.
Without using techniques, he relaxes his entire body...
and his tongue.
- He relaxes his tongue too. - Yes.
It's hard to relax your muscles when you sing.
While he did that, he perfectly delivered...
the emotions of the song. Although I am a singer,
there have been many times when I relied on techniques.
He made me realize that I was wrong.
- I see. - I enjoyed his performance.
As for Grasshopper,
she knows how to make sound...
by using her nose, head, and entire body.
She is capable of changing the tune...
at any time with a shake of her body.
She has incredible techniques...
and soul.
It was a great performance. I enjoyed it.
All right.
Young Seok, how did you enjoy their performances?
I didn't know Native American would sing such a serious song.
"That Is Only My World" by Deulgukhwa...
is a song about music.
It's a cry that tells the world music is only Deulgukhwa's world.
I feel like he carried the message better than Deulgukhwa.
He delivered the sentimentality.
There is something I liked a lot. At the climax,
there is an incredibly high note.
While many people attempt to hit that note,
Native American tweaked the tune...
to transform the part so that it suits him better.
He added his musical flair to the song.
It made me realize that he isn't simply a singer.
He is someone who has...
a deep understanding of the note.
I see.
Listening to his performance made me realize that...
relatability and communication trump techniques in music.
Grasshopper parted her hair in a different way...
compared to Round One.
- Can you see her hair? - It was an analogy on her music.
- It was an analogy on her music. - Yes.
She sang "If I Leave" in Round One.
She showed rhythm and blues and pop styles in a ratio of 5 to 5.
Now, she leans more towards rhythm and blues...
in a ratio of 7 to 3.
Even though she changed her style, it didn't sound awkward at all.
It sounded like her original style.
All right. Gu Ra, what did you think?
Timeless songs are sung often on this program.
Listening to Native American's "That Is Only My World",
I realized that he is a singer who best showed...
Jun In Kwon's wild nature.
In some ways, he showed his unique aura...
that could surpass Jun In Kwon's.
That's what I saw in his performance.
Wild nature.
He is also the type...
to stand still when someone compliments him.
(Docile)
It's funny to see him stand still...
now that we are talking about him.
I see that your organs must have shrunk in fear...
when you slapped his back.
That's the thought I had.
You are wrong.
You must have slapped him at the risk of your life.
You are wrong.
- It's not a big deal. - Slap him again.
You are wrong. Please be nice.
- All right. - "Please be nice."
Please be nice.
- Please be nice. - There is only one person...
who can control him.
Who is it?
The name starts with K.
- The name starts with K. - I see.
That's right.
- I see. - That person is the only one...
who can control him.
- May I say something? - What do you want to say?
Just anything. You said that I stand still...
when someone compliments me.
I only kept quiet because they told me to.
- I have a favor to ask. - You have a favor to ask.
- I am exhausted. - You are exhausted.
I hope you would eliminate me in Round Two.
All votes are in.
- We can't change the result. - Really?
- Are you exhausted? - I am really exhausted.
I want to go to the bathroom too.
You want to go to the bathroom.
Please refrain from using the microphone.
Native American...
wasn't tied to a particular form.
He sang in his own style.
He had incredible aura.
I was sucked into his world.
I feel like only half of my soul is present.
Even when he jokes around,
I find him cool because of his performance.
- Really? - Yes.
- Do you want to stand over here? - No, thank you.
I want this moment to be over soon.
- Don't say that. - He was so cool.
He is gentle when you get to know him.
- Really? - Yes.
Gu Ra seems to be sure of his identity.
Gu Ra, what did you think of Grasshopper's performance?
I think she showed a performance...
with a full capacity...
a powerful female vocalist can have.
When we play a game, we obtain the best character...
and bring up the statistics.
If there is a game where we can choose a vocalist,
she would be a character many people dream of having.
People will say, "I want to play that character."
That's right.
Now, Grasshopper will show her specialty.
She will imitate the sound a puppy makes when its paw was stepped on.
A puppy's paw was stepped on.
Let's hear the sound.
(Yipping)
(Poor puppy)
Now,
imitate the sound of chicken laying eggs.
(Popping)
Good. Here comes the last one. Give us the sound of a hungry pig.
(Oinking)
(I am hungry.)
Let's end it here.
(She perfectly imitated a variety of sounds.)
That was great.
This time, we will see Native American's specialty.
He will show us a magic trick.
- A magic trick. - I will...
make a flame in my hand.
You will make a flame in your hand.
- Please adjust the lights. - Lights.
- Please lower them. - Let's darken the studio.
He will make a flame in his hand.
Here goes Native American.
(My goodness.)
My goodness.
His finger is aflame.
(Transferring)
(The flame moved.)
It moved.
It's a red flame.
(It divided into two.)
Flames are on both of his hands.
They are on his thumbs.
(Eating)
(Native American ate the flames.)
He put them in his mouth.
(Hitting)
My goodness.
(Astonished)
He is good.
He put it in his ear.
It moved to his hand.
- He is good. - He is circling it.
(Moving constantly)
He is freely moving the flames.
(This is how you do it.)
(It's gone.)
(It was fascinating.)
It was an impressive specialty.
The thing is,
it's a common kit that is sold at magic cafes.
However, it's difficult to do it well.
I have done it often for Dong Hyun, my son.
It's not easy. He was very good at it.
Even those who know the trick find it hard.
- That's right. - It's difficult.
- While most people know the trick, - It's not easy.
- he made it believable. - That's right.
His specialty was received well.
All right. Now, I will announce the result...
of the 1st match of Round 2.
It's a match between the charming Party Queen Grasshopper...
and the tough and charismatic vocalist,
Cute Little Native American.
Let's find out who will move on...
to Round Three.
(She showed deep emotions of rhythm and blues.)
(Grasshopper has a soulful voice with groove.)
(His cries contained years of experiences.)
(Native American has charisma of a tough man.)
Between Grasshopper and Native American,
who will be the winner?
The winner is...
Who will it be?
(The two masked singers are distinctively unique.)
Between the two masked singers,
who will be the winner? Will it be Grasshopper or Native American?
Let's see who the winner is. Please show the result.
Who is the winner?
Grasshopper won.
(Grasshopper, play the music of celebrations.)
(Congratulations, Grasshopper.)
Grasshopper!
Grasshopper won.
Grasshopper beat Native American...
with a score of 59 to 40.
The final score was 59 to 40.
With a difference of 19 votes,
Grasshopper beat Native American.
Please return to your waiting room.
She moved on to Round Three.
Please give her a big hand.
(Grasshopper is a polite winner.)
I thought I would lose since Native American sang so well.
My goodness.
I will do well in the next round and become King of Mask Singer.
Go, go!
Who could Native American be?
Let's find out who he is.
Native American.
Stop making conversations and get ready.
Native American, take off your mask...
and please reveal your face.
(He sings with his soul.)
(He has a big aura.)
(Due to his unexpected moves,)
(he was slapped on his back.)
(However, he charmed everyone.)
(Who is this charming Native American?)
Take off your mask and reveal your face.
(He acts tough.)
(The audience screams.)
He is...
Who is he?
(Who on earth is he?)
He is...
a great actor with 33 years of experience,
Choi Min Soo.
(Choi Min Soo comes to King of Mask Singer!)
It was him.
(Gu Ra is smiling.)
(It is really Choi Min Soo.)
(They can't believe that such a great actor is here.)
It's Choi Min Soo.
(Take my mask!)
(He's cool.)
You should not give the mask to the audience.
(He's not supposed to give away the mask.)
Choi Min Soo.
Did you slap me a while ago?
(He headlocks Seong Ju.)
Please say hello...
- to the viewers. - Happy New Year to the viewers.
The audience...
sitting right here...
and the staff,
thank you so much for your efforts.
(He bows deeply.)
(His greets dignifiedly as a dignified actor.)
Happy New Year.
I wish we get a little more sophisticated this year...
in terms of our souls than we were last year.
- Yes. - Yes.
(He made his debut in 1985 becoming a star for his attractive face.)
(He got very popular for his role as Dae Bal in "What Is Love".)
(He raised a syndrome with the legendary drama "The Hourglass".)
You're my girl!
(He gained popularity for so many famous lines.)
(He swept awards including Baek Sang,)
(Dae Jong and Cheong Ryong Awards.)
(His charisma is matchless.)
(His method acting cannot be replaced by any other actor.)
(He loves music as much as acting.)
(He has been an active member of the band 36.5°C.)
(His songs deeply embrace the life and time.)
(Choi Min Soo is a tough actor who knows what romance is.)
Many people recall the strong image of a tough guy...
and charisma when they see you.
However, you were slapped on your bottom by me several times today.
We saw your cute side.
It was my first time to try acting cute.
(Smiling)
Many people must be curious as to...
who Choi Min Soo is.
He performs in the band 36.5°C.
I heard that you write the lyrics...
and compose the songs yourself.
I guess you have a great passion for music.
Music is...
very important when I act.
There are melodies and tunes in acting as well.
Yes.
I just love music like breathing.
That's why I compose.
The band 36.5°C...
- has been active for a long time. - Yes.
No one owns music. People think someone who makes a song...
owns it, but that's not true. Someone who enjoys music owns it.
I make how people live...
and what people feel in melodies and tunes.
To renew myself every day,
I need music.
If it's possible, I hope you...
make your music or your song...
in your life.
(He's awesome.)
(The actor Choi Min Soo is in his 50s.)
(At his moments of joy, anger, sorrow, and pleasure,)
(music was there, and it's now a part of his life.)
- Kim Gu Ra. - Yes.
You've seen him for a long time.
I don't know him personally very well.
What I feel whenever I see him is,
although many people say that he is eccentric,
I can feel the warmth inside him.
The younger actors are scared of him due to prejudice.
However, he's not a scary person.
I think there are two kinds of rockers.
There are rockers who play rock and rockers who live in rock.
Choi Min Soo lives in rock.
He is a true rocker.
He's the last native American left in this world in the 21st century.
- He's amazing. - Okay.
(You're amazing.)
It must have been a difficult challenge for you.
Though he's been an actor for 33 years,
he still showed a passionate performance.
- Please give him an applause. - Thank you.
- Thank you. - Go, Choi Min Soo.
(You're the best.)
Thank you for your efforts.
(He's charming.)
(It's over.)
(Bye.)
Does your family know that you're on this show?
They don't know.
Where did you tell your wife you are going today?
I told her to leave me alone when I went out today.
I lost.
What I want to hear most in the world is...
that even old people look at me on the stage...
screaming "Min Soo!"
I'd like to become an adult...
who is an innocent older brother and senior.
Today's performance was exactly like that for me.
For my age, I could feel such a passion...
on the stage.
I truly appreciate that moment.
The result of Round Two is...
Party Queen Grasshopper beat Choi Min Soo...
and moved on to Round Three.
It's the 2nd match of Round 2, Semi-finals.
He beat the rapper Din Din.
His song sparkles beautifully like flowers.
Wish You All the Best for 2017.
(He enters the flower road in an imposing manner.)
(I wish you all the best for New Year.)
(We love you.)
(He looks great.)
(He walks with a confident gait.)
He looks confident.
I have high expectations for him.
I guess this match would be tough as well.
(He's full of rock spirit.)
(He has a powerful voice.)
(He must be a rocker.)
(His voice fits for rock music.)
(Is All the Best an authentic rocker?)
(He has a nicer body than Lee Hyuk of Norazo.)
(He could be the actor, Lee Jae Yoon.)
(He could be a member of either Yada or Emerald Castle.)
(He's good at B-Boying dance.)
(Who could be All the Best?)
(Round Two has started.)
(Panelists deduct he is a rocker.)
(Will he be able to become the King of Mask Singer?)
(He's a strong opponent against Anpan Prince.)
(What does All the Best have for the second performance?)
("Half of My Life" by Han Kyung Il)
It's "Half of My Life".
(It's the title song from the second album of Han Kyung Il in 2003.)
(How would All the Best sing "Half of My Life"?)
(He powerfully sings like an authentic rock vocalist.)
(His attractive voice tone touches people's hearts.)
(He's good.)
(He manages to hold back his love for her.)
(He has to let his lover go even if he still loves her.)
(That's what he sadly learned from the world.)
(He would miss his love desperately.)
(He would be like that.)
(Amazed)
(If my deep love is a sin)
(I would cut it by half)
(His strong voice tells he is an experienced singer.)
(He calmly confesses...)
(his painful heart which is like an old wound.)
(His confession of ardent love is for one person.)
(The soulful voice puts everyone in awe.)
(With his heart-wrenching voice,)
(he's expressing the desperate feelings.)
(His passionate high notes can...)
(almost reach the clouds.)
(A rocker's pure love, "Half of My Life")
That really hit the spot.
(We love you, All the Best.)
(He was able to win over male fans as well.)
That was amazing.
He's so charming.
Against him is...
the one that beat golf player Shin Ji Yai.
Her elegant voice will open up the Year of the Red Rooster.
It's New Year Newlywed Bride Hen.
(We hope your Year of the Rooster is filled with good luck.)
(Happy New Year to you, Hen.)
- How pretty. - It's Hen.
She's a strong one.
This is going to be a tough match.
Who could she be?
(She has a clear and energetic voice.)
(She's a talented singer as well.)
(Hen is such a lovely singer.)
(Is she a professional singer since she uses techniques?)
(She's so cute and energetic that you want to date her.)
(The panelists are in love with her graceful charm.)
(She can impersonate all five members of Wonder Girls.)
(She can even dance well.)
(The panelists are dying to know who Hen is.)
(Tonight,)
(she'll make the evening rich and warm.)
(What did Hen prepare for us?)
Mamamoo?
("You Are the Best" by Mamamoo)
(Her voice is clear and high-pitched.)
(Her voice is bound to win many fans.)
(We're just a palm apart.)
(She goes back and forth from falsetto freely.)
(The man with the beautiful smile is you.)
(Your body and your face stole my eyes away)
(You)
(She even raps.)
(It's because it's you)
(She can sing in four different voices.)
(She sounds experienced.)
(She controls her voice freely.)
(You)
(It's exciting dance time.)
(The singer and the audience are becoming one.)
(Hen and the panelist)
(Hen is perfect from singing to dancing.)
(Her talent is unbelievable.)
(You)
(You Are the Best!)
(Hen's "You Are the Best" is so charming.)
(It's the best!)
(Her performance was like a party.)
- That's amazing. - Good job.
(Dancing)
Please don't copy her.
She's so charming.
We have to choose one, right?
The 2nd match of Round 2 came to an end.
Shall we hear from Kai? What did you think?
- They're both talented. - Both of them?
Yes. All the Best's song...
has high notes throughout,
and you have to keep singing up there for a while.
He sounded very stable...
while his voice remained powerful.
It's a very hard song to sing...
if you lack in a single variable.
However, he sang this song without a problem...
and expressed emotions as well.
He's an excellent singer. He's a good singer.
What Hen did well is...
that she managed to sing a group song all by herself.
She expressed her own color while doing so.
On top of that, she had a chance...
to show her gracefulness and sexiness through her voice...
and body language. I bet she moved...
many male audience's hearts.
Hen is a type other girls don't like.
- Is that so? - If some guys and girls...
go on a trip and a girl like that tags along,
she'll be the star of the whole trip.
She's good at singing, and she's sexy too.
She looks innocent as well.
She's perfect.
That's why girls don't like her.
Did you know that pretty girls don't like pretty girls?
- I really like Hen. - Do you?
- Is it case by case? - Hen and I don't overlap.
- I really like her. - All right.
Young Seok, what did you think?
I have no idea who Hen is.
Instead of a hen,
I think she's more like a cat that devoured a hen.
A cat that devoured a hen?
The songs she chose and the way she acted...
tell me she's a cat.
She's devious and delicate.
She's smart and sly.
That's why I think she's a cat. She's pretty.
As for All the Best,
I think he knows exactly...
what his limits are in terms of the tones he can make.
He doesn't overexert himself,
yet he maximizes his voice to its full potential.
He just did that.
He started with a clear high note. It was such a charming song.
All the Best has perfect head voice.
At first, the sound came from his forehead.
(Step one of his head voice, the forehead)
Then it came out from the top of his head.
(Step two of his head voice, the crown)
At the end, the sound came from the back of his head.
(The back of his head marks the climax.)
All the Best has...
- a really charming voice. - Right.
Do you get headaches when you sing too much?
(Really?)
(He's asking the back of his head.)
Has it happened before? His head says yes.
Also, I'm curious about something.
Can we open up his chest?
You want to undress All the Best?
Show us.
I'm not asking to undress him.
Singing consistently in high notes means...
that the singer has good pectoral muscles.
- Here. - It tickles a lot.
- I think he has good muscles here. - It seems so.
It's good.
Do you have any idea about who he is?
As I said last week, his voice tone sounds like...
- that of Lee Hyuk of Norazo. - Lee Hyuk.
But he's more masculine than Hyuk.
It seems he's wearing multiple layers of airism undershirts...
or something to make his upper body look more fit.
Airism undershirts?
- You think so? - Yes. I think he's wearing them.
- That's what I think. - All right.
- The other singer is good... - Yes?
- at singing as well as dancing. - She is.
- She's an all-round singer. - But I have no clue to guess from.
That's why...
I don't want to know about her.
Why is that? You should find out who she is.
- It's hard. - It's hard for us to guess.
If you try a bit harder,
- you'll figure out soon. - Then give me something.
- Sorry? - Give me some more hints.
This person is... Gosh.
I can't tell more.
Everyone knows about her.
She'll show you something to make you guess easier.
She can do voice acting of foreign movies.
I need a male voice actor. Would you mind doing it, Seul Ong?
- Which one is it that I should do? - Now...
It's "The X-Files".
Seul Ong, you'll be Mulder...
and Hen will be Scully.
You'll hear her real voice now. Hen, please let them hear your voice.
I need your help, Mulder.
Singing on stage is so nerve-wracking.
Scully, do you think it's easy to be panelists here?
You can overcome it.
Mulder, how can you do this to me?
Where is the Mulder who cared so much about me?
You don't love me anymore?
I don't love you anymore
(What's he doing?)
(She's happy alone.)
I was kidding, Scully.
- What on earth is this? - You were always confident.
- What's going on? - Cheer up, Scully.
- "The X-Files"... - What kind of movie is this?
Thank you, Mulder.
I'll sing here with all my strength. Please cheer for me.
This is the end.
That was her real voice.
I bet you've heard of her voice so many times before.
- I think it's Choi Hwa Jung. - What?
- Hwa Jung. - Hwa Jung?
- She does things like that a lot. - I see.
I gave you some clues, Gu Ra.
- What clue did you give me? - It became more difficult.
I'm actually worried her identity should be revealed soon.
- Seong Ju. - Yes?
Everyone here thinks...
that you're the only one who's making a fuss over it.
- I'm the only one who knows her. - Gosh.
- Is it only me who's doing that? - Stop making a fuss.
Trust me.
This is who she is in real life.
Any guesses, Hyun Chul?
- I have no idea. - Gosh.
I'd like to say some good things about All the Best.
His initial, medial, and...
- and last sounds are like... - Last sound?
Last sound? It's a final sound.
- Last sound? - What's wrong with you?
Why did you make a mistake there?
- Last sound? - What do you mean by that?
I couldn't come up with the proper word earlier.
It's the Lunar New Year's Day. Can't you do it better?
- What nonsense. - You're an expert here.
- Initial, medial, and last sound... - What nonsense.
What I mean is he has a good...
medial sound, which means he speaks vowels properly.
He sang the song in a constant voice as if there was the metronome,
which I think it's his one of the weaknesses... Sorry, strengths.
You said...
you were going to say good things about him. One of his weaknesses?
- Unbelievable. - He said it's his weakness.
What's wrong with you?
Why do you keep making a fuss?
- Isn't he here as an expert? - I know.
You should've talked about his strengths, not weaknesses.
Let's see what his specialty is for a moment.
He'll show kicks he learned from martial arts.
Let's see his amazing kicks.
That's a side kick.
That's a roundhouse kick.
Now is a jumping roundhouse kick.
(One last strong kick)
That's it.
I think the last one was a bit awkward. Show that to us once again.
Do it one more time. A jumping roundhouse kick.
Good. This is it.
Isn't he a good-for-nothing man in the neighborhood who sings well?
When you prepare for that jumping roundhouse kick,
you'll be attacked by others and fall down.
Now, I'll announce the result.
I'll now reveal the winner...
of this match for the final round.
(He has amazing singing skills.)
(He touched everyone's heart with his amazing performance.)
(Wish You All the Best for 2017)
(A powerful and charming vocalist)
(She showed a powerful performance that every girl would like.)
(New Year Newlywed Bride Hen)
Who is the winner...
who will move on to the next round and have a match with Grasshopper?
The winner is...
Who will be the winner?
It's hard to choose only one winner.
(It was an intense match.)
(Who did the audience choose?)
Please show the result.
Who is the winner of this match?
Please show the result. Who's the winner?
(Wish You All the Best for 2017 won.)
All the Best won.
(All the Best moves on to the next round.)
- All the Best is the winner. - My goodness.
(All the best for winners and losers)
All the Best won with a slight difference...
in the score of 57 to 42 against Hen.
He moves on to Round Three.
You may move to your waiting room now.
Please give him a big hand.
All the Best will have a match with Grasshopper in the next round.
I can't believe I made it to the next round.
King of Mask Singer, it's time for you to step down.
Hand over the crown to me and go down the way.
That's my seat.
(What did you say?)
(Bring it on, All the Best.)
She failed to move on to the next round.
Nobody guessed who she was.
We'll reveal who she is...
with the song she prepared for Round Three.
(That's a good idea.)
She'll take off her mask while singing.
Everyone knows about her.
But no one here has guessed who she is.
Please give her a big hand.
(Who's Hen?)
("My Strongest Suit", the OST of the musical, "Aida")
(A charming vocalist, Hen's another challenge)
(Like the female lead in "Aida")
(She chose the song that suits best her beautiful voice.)
(Happy)
(You can't help but fall in love with her performance.)
(She sings with emotions like she's acting.)
(Who's Hen who showed her elegance and beauty?)
Now, Hen, please take off your mask...
and reveal your face.
(My goodness.)
- Hen is... - This is crazy.
Why are they screaming?
(Who is she?)
Now, Hen, please take off your mask...
and reveal your face.
Hen is Seo Hyun.
(Surprised)
It's Seo Hyun.
Seo Hyun of Girls' Generation?
- Is this real? - Yes.
(It's the performance where we can see her new side as a solo artist.)
(I love it.)
(She's has a powerful voice after 10 years of experience as a singer.)
(She's good.)
(She's pretty.)
(The song is beautiful as she tries her best.)
(He is into the song.)
(You can't help but listen to her beautiful voice.)
(With her sophisticated gestures and splendid singing skills,)
(she exudes her attractive charms.)
(It's entertaining.)
(She's now become a soft and charismatic singer.)
(It was a dramatic performance that showed Seo Hyun's great potential.)
(Brava!)
(Thank you.)
(The song is over, but her performance still lingers.)
It's been 11 years since her debut.
She is Seo Hyun of Girls' Generation.
Please say hello to our viewers.
Hello, I'm Seo Hyun of Girls' Generation. Nice to meet you.
(She debuted in 2007 as a member of Girls' Generation.)
(They have many hit songs such as "Gee", "Genie", "Oh", and "Hoot".)
(She is the youngest member of the group.)
(She was also beloved by many fans in Girls' Generation-TTS.)
(After a lot of effort, she took a new challenge as a musical actress.)
(Seo Hyun made her musical debut in "The Moon Embracing the Sun".)
(She even released her first solo album with her passion for music.)
(Seo Hyun still has a lot more to show people.)
I didn't know you could sing so well.
Your sounded totally different from when you sang...
in Girls' Generation.
In fact, Girls Generation has many members,
so I get to sing only a few parts of a song.
It's like only 5 or 10 seconds.
I didn't have many chances...
to sing a whole song.
I see. How old were you when you made your debut?
- I was 17 years old. - 17 years old.
She was a 17-year-old girl,
but she has grown into a lady...
over the years.
"Today, I want to show myself the way I am,
not as the youngest member of Girls' Generation."
I heard you said that.
I've been the youngest member...
of Girls' Generation for the past 10 years.
So people think I'm just a young girl.
Isn't it a good thing?
I'm very thankful in a way.
However, sometimes I want to show a different side of me,
but people seem to have some stereotype about me.
I was frustrated...
when I felt that way.
You want to look your age now.
That's right. I'm a grown woman now.
I want to show myself as a mature woman...
- through my singing and acting. - I see.
I'm not sure if she remembers it, but I wrote Girls' Generation...
a song and directed their album.
- Did you? - Yes. She sang well back then.
When was it?
It was about 7 or 8 years ago. subtitles ripped and synced by riri13
The song was on their second album.
I'm so proud of her. She did a very good job.
Thank you.
She was not just the youngest member of Girls' Generation today.
She showed off her charms...
on the stage as a singer today.
Please give Seo Hyun a round of applause.
- Go, Seo Hyun. - Thank you.
(We look forward to your future endeavors.)
(You were great.)
It feels like I had a dream.
I loved everything about it.
In fact, my bones...
hurt so bad in my mask...
because I kept smiling.
I felt very happy the whole time.
It was one of the happiest moments...
since my debut.
They praised my performance...
without knowing who I am.
I took that as a real compliment.
"I've lived my life pretty well."
"All my efforts...
have not gone in vain", I thought.
Wish You All the Best for 2017...
beat Seo Hyun of Girls' Generation and moved on to Round Three.
The mysterious music show, King of Mask Singer.
Now we have two masked singers...
for Round Three, Final Round.
Let's bring them out on stage again. Please give them a big hand.
(Final Round is about to begin.)
We have 2 masked singers for Round 3.
Grasshopper from the 1st match and All the Best from the 3rd match.
All the Best and Grasshopper.
Grasshopper, how do you feel now?
My goal was to sing all three songs...
I prepared for Round Three.
I'm glad that I achieved my goal.
Now I will try my best to accomplish my second goal.
Do you have a second goal?
My second goal is to become the King of Mask Singer.
I see. She will try her best to become the King of Mask Singer.
I didn't expect to move on to Round Three.
I feel more nervous as I move on to the next round.
- And now I'm anxious. - You are anxious.
- Yes. - And you are nervous.
- Right. - You are now...
on a straight and level path.
That's great.
There are even flowers.
- Flowers. - Everything will be fine.
I will make the path filled with flowers...
for the King of Mask Singer.
- Then he will walk down the path. - He will?
- The path for him. - The path is for the current King.
He will leave the throne.
He will make a way for the King to leave.
And you will come to the new throne, right?
- You know that. - That's your plan.
- Now that I'm here, I want to win. - I see.
I will sprinkle red beans on the path.
(I will sprinkle red beans on the path.)
He will sprinkle red beans on the path filled with flowers.
Grasshopper, do you want to say anything?
I like steamed buns that look like Anpan Prince.
- I will chew him up. - You will chew him up.
(Shocked)
She expressed her strong will...
in a rather fierce tone.
I think she is amazing.
In fact, I lied that I was not nervous at all.
I'm very afraid.
I'm kind of in a tough situation.
They both are so good.
And they sing different genres of songs.
I'm very...
afraid of them to be honest.
- They are bold, right? - Yes.
(Is it that he's so afraid that he lost his mind?)
He's scared.
- Right. - Okay.
Let's begin Round Three then.
Party Queen Grasshopper...
will sing first.
(Round Three begins with Grasshopper's performance.)
- Let's have a party. - Let's party.
I want to be hypnotized by her.
- It will be the best performance. - I'm so excited.
(Showing off her soulful grooves,)
(Grasshopper danced with her voice.)
(What song is she singing...)
(to beat All the Best and the King of Mask Singer?)
("About Romance" by Choi Baek Ho)
I can't believe this.
(She knocks down the panelists with the first note.)
(She lets out her captivating voice nonchalantly.)
(She's different!)
(Her sexy soulful voice is breathtaking.)
(Her song embodies the time of dusk.)
(Her rich voice is filled with deep emotions.)
(Amazed)
(Watching her in admiration)
She's so good.
(The House Band)
(To the vibrant rhythms of tango,)
(their blood boils with a shudder.)
(Grasshopper sings poetic adventures with her voice.)
(Her voice has a strong resonance in people's empty hearts.)
(Her sexy and fatal charms...)
(blow people's minds with her energy and passion.)
(About romance)
(Grasshopper bursts into flames of romance.)
(What was that?)
(She falters.)
That was simply perfect.
That was sheer perfection.
That was truly great.
My heart is beating fast.
She's too good.
Contending against her is...
the one who beat Din Din and Seo Hyun from Girls' Generation.
He's en route to becoming the King of Mask Singer.
Wish You All the Best for 2017.
(I wish you all the best.)
(So go wild for me!)
(You're great!)
(Walking confidently, he's ready to dominate the stage.)
I am excited.
Which song would he sing?
(The throne is just around the corner.)
(Will he succeed this performance and get closer to the throne?)
(Contending against Grasshopper's appealing voice,)
(All the Best will give his all to this match.)
("Rain and Loneliness" by Wind Flower)
(The strong beat in the intro grabs everyone's attention.)
(He's impressed.)
(The echo of his rough voice breaks the silence.)
(He remembers her again.)
(His voice carries the sorrowful emotion.)
(The longing becomes stronger.)
(His piercing voice conveys a deep resentment.)
(We can feel how painfully he's longing for her.)
(He wails beyond measure.)
(This is mad!)
(The sharpness of his high notes overwhelms the audience.)
(All the Best's potential explodes.)
(This is no joke.)
(Who is this rough yet soulful man?)
(His pain becomes greater as she moves farther away.)
(He's impressed.)
(Roughness and sorrowfulness coexist in his voice.)
(The more he shouts, the lonelier he becomes.)
(His great voice deeply touches our hearts.)
(If she can hear my shout of sorrow,)
(I will shout as loudly as I can.)
(All the Best's song conveyed emotion beyond longing.)
(Bravo!)
We started the new year with rock music!
That was amazing.
This is nerve-racking.
Final Round is over.
How was it?
What did the King of Mask Singer think of the match?
I feel irritated.
- Do you feel irritated? - Yes.
Now I know what he meant...
when he said he will dominate the stage.
- He must've practiced a lot. - Yes.
I am going to do my best today...
and sing my song well. But...
- I am a little nervous. - He's nervous.
- They are both very good. - Yes.
Now, the King of Mask Singer will go to prepare for his performance.
Please cheer for him.
We are all excited to see...
Anpan Prince's performance.
Hyun Chul's jaw is still dropped.
The two performances were very shocking to me.
They were very shocking.
There are many songs of Choi Baek Ho.
I particularly like "About Romance".
I've been wanting to sing it when I become older and...
when I can completely immerse into the song.
I've always wanted to do that. I'm amazed to hear this song...
on King of Mask Singer, and I'm shocked that it was sung by...
a female singer who is younger than Baek Ho.
It made me realize that this song can also be sung by...
- a young female singer. - Yes.
The original version sang by Choi Baek Ho...
is perfect for a family drama.
But her version is perfect as the music for a female killer.
Imagine a female killer installing...
- a bomb in a building. - Goodness.
She steps out and presses the button to explode the bomb.
At that moment, this song plays.
It would suit that moment perfectly. She will take off her gloves...
and put on sunglasses.
Every time she finishes her mission,
this song plays.
That's an interesting scene.
She sang unbelievably well.
It's completely different from the original version,
so we can't compare it to that.
- She sang it very nicely. - Yes.
When it comes to All the Best,
when he sang the second song,
we figured out that he's good at singing with his head voice.
He sang with his head voice again...
in the refrain.
I thought that was it for him.
Then he suddenly raised an octave...
and started singing higher and higher.
(He used his head voice to hit high notes.)
(His head voice is good.)
(Loneliness piles up)
(He's shocked.)
His song was like...
the ending song for...
- a documentary depicting... - Yes.
one man's life. It would be a perfect song for that.
- Both of them did so well. - Yes.
The King of Mask Singer has every reason to be scared.
- He's very annoyed. - Right.
Young Seok,
we saw a variety of facial expressions from you.
I was amazed.
At one point, I couldn't believe the way she sang.
How can we bear to listen to other songs now?
- That's what I thought. - Yes.
It's a popular song, but I've never seen someone...
who fought as confidently as her with a tango song on Final Round.
I think she is the first one to do that.
So I was rooting for her,
but he was really good too.
It feels like his piercing voice...
was threatening to slay my throat.
(His voice was like a weapon.)
(It's scary.)
He was showing everyone how high he could sing.
In my heart, I wanted...
Grasshopper...
to go to Final Match.
But after hearing All the Best's singing, I couldn't decide anymore.
When All the Best was singing,
Yoon Seok sang along for the most part.
(He was like a crazy fan.)
(I can't miss a single word.)
He made my wish come true.
- All the Best, you mean? - All the Best.
There were two songs I've been wanting to hear on this show.
- One was "Waiting Day by Day". - Yes.
Another was "Rain and Loneliness".
Ha Hyun Woo sang "Waiting Day by Day".
Music Commander did.
All the Best sang "Rain and Loneliness".
- Your wish came true. - I was really happy.
Music Commander sang...
like Stryper. He had a clear high voice.
All the Best sang in authentic heavy metal style.
He sang in Judas Priest's singing style.
- His voice sounds like metal. - What do you mean?
- His voice is as rough as metal. - It's as rough as metal.
It's very rough.
(His voice is rough as if his throat has been scratched.)
(Judas Priest's known for his piercing voice.)
Let me give you a quick rundown of the traditional heavy metal.
Fans love the sound of guitar. It needs to be fast no matter what.
The vocalist needs to hit high notes no matter what.
The cleanest and the most honest way...
of appealing to the public is hitting high notes.
When you climb mountains, you may like mountains...
that are rough or pretty.
However, what we brag about in the end is the height.
- The highest peak. - The highest peak matters.
It's the best.
You are the traditional heavy metal vocalist.
(Rock and roll)
Jang Hyuk, what did you think?
I will start with Grasshopper.
It can be quite difficult...
to get the feel of the song.
It can be a difficult task.
However, she held on to the feel of the song...
and sang. Also, her choice of song was perfect.
I would like to respond by singing.
(There was emptiness)
(In my heart)
(Your song filled the void)
He became emotional.
(Your song filled the void)
(He adds a rejoinder.)
All the Best...
has such a high frequency that I felt faint.
His voice pierced my ears.
When his identity is revealed,
I want to ask him to open his mouth wide...
and see the structure of his vocal cords.
- You want to study it. - I want to use a magnifying glass.
He has unique vocal cords.
That's right.
I enjoyed the performance.
My heart feels cold these days.
Grasshopper is like a heater...
who warms my heart.
- Grasshopper is? - Yes.
Was my analogy that bad?
It was a bit of a stretch.
- Right? - All the Best...
was like a steep road with flowers.
Because of its beauty,
you reach the top without feeling exhaustion.
He showed a beautiful performance...
of an incredible level.
All right. Now, I will announce the result of Final Round.
Between these two masked singers,
who will move on to the 48th Final Match?
I'll now reveal the winner of this match.
Who will become the rival of King of Mask Singer?
(Her deep voice carried the weight of life.)
(She has soulful energy that warms the heart.)
(Grasshopper played her voice like an instrument.)
(He has effortless singing skills.)
(His explosive high notes overwhelmed the audience.)
(All the Best showed wild charisma.)
Between Grasshopper and All the Best,
who will become the winner?
The winner is...
- The winner is... - The winner is...
The winner is...
They must be nervous.
Even I feel nervous.
(It's a nerve-wracking match even for the onlookers.)
Both of them sang very well.
(They cannot predict...)
(the winner of this match.)
Will King of Mask Singer have a female rival or a male rival?
Who will be the rival of Anpan Prince?
The winner of this match is...
All the Best won.
(All the Best won.)
(He will challenge King of Mask Singer...)
(since the audience wished him all the best.)
(The rock spirit won.)
(All the Best is cool.)
All the Best won.
All the Best beat Grasshopper...
with a score of 58 to 41.
With a difference of 17 votes,
All the Best became the winner.
Please move to the back of the stage and watch Final Match.
Please give him a big hand.
All the Best acquired the right to challenge King of Mask Singer.
(This is the best.)
I have never won three times in a row.
Thank you, everyone.
Thank you.
Grasshopper was picked as one of the strongest candidates...
and received full support from the panelists.
Let's find out who...
this talented woman with many voices is.
Please move to the back of the stage.
Now, Grasshopper, please take off your mask...
and reveal your face.
(Her talent rivals that of Celine Dion.)
(She has full capacity of a powerful female vocalist.)
(Her singing skills are on King of Mask Singer's level.)
(Her performance had excellent composition.)
Reveal your face.
(Who could be Grasshopper?)
(Screaming)
- She is... - She is so pretty.
Who is she? Who is she?
What is it?
Who is she?
What is going on?
(Curious)
- She is... - She is so pretty.
the talented vocalist, U Sung Eun.
U Sung Eun.
(Why didn't we know?)
(It's no wonder she sang so well.)
- I met her a few days ago. - Really?
- She didn't say anything, right? - Right.
Please say hello to the viewers.
- Look at the camera. - All right.
Hello, I am Party Queen Grasshopper,
U Sung Eun. It's nice to meet you.
(She was a runner-up in an audition program.)
(She gained popularity as the new rhythm and blues artist.)
(As soon as she debuted with an album, "Be OK",)
(she swept seven music charts.)
(Her sentimental voice doesn't disappoint.)
(She has a cave-like voice that appeals to the listeners.)
(She is the top rhythm and blues vocalist.)
(The artist who captivates men's hearts, U Sung Eun)
You said many people are mistaken...
about your looks.
People say I look different in real life.
I am not saying that I look better in real life.
They say that a person looks 1.5 times bigger on the screen.
That's right. It must be heartbreaking.
I have the same problem.
- You are very handsome. - It's heartbreaking.
I think I look 2.5 times bigger on the screen.
My height looks 1.5 smaller.
U Sung Eun is known for her incredible singing skills.
Nevertheless,
she feels pressured...
when the public coins her...
as the talented vocalist.
I guess people see me with rose-tinted glasses.
Those who know me...
as the talented vocalist.
I felt pressured...
to give a better performance...
every time I took the stage.
On King of Mask Singer,
people wouldn't praise me because of the rose-tinted glasses.
I wanted to be praised even when my identity remained unknown.
You received high praises today. You were compared to Celine Dion.
You will be able to become...
a million times better.
Arranging "About Romance" in such style...
would be a feat for any artist in Korea.
Make sure you believe in your talent.
I enjoyed your performances very much.
Your voice was absolutely lovely.
- Experts are giving you... - Thank you.
high praises.
You shouldn't feel so pressured.
Through her voice,
U Sung Eun showed that...
she deserves to be called a talented musician.
Please give her a big hand.
Good luck.
Thank you.
(We look forward to hear great songs from you.)
It's finally over.
It's a relief that I got to sing every song I prepared.
(Embarrassed)
I want to be remembered as an artist...
with a unique color.
"She makes every song into her own."
"Although she has different styles, her unique color shows."
I hope people will think that when they hear me sing.
I will use the experience I had today...
to go further and higher as a singer.
I will work hard. Please give me your love and support.
In Round Three,
Wish You All the Best for 2017 beat U Sung Eun...
and moved on to Final Match.
The mysterious music show, King of Mask Singer.
Now, only Anpan Prince's...
performance to defend the title remains.
What kind of performance will he show for this second win?
The 48th Final Match...
starts now.
This is the 48th Final Match.
He is a soulful vocalist...
who warms up the heart.
The 47th King of Mask Singer,
Red Bean Warrior Anpan Prince.
(Only the golden mask can open...)
(King of Mask Singer's door.)
(King of Mask Singer, Anpan Prince appears.)
(The audience gives him cheer of love.)
(Using the panelists' cheer as his march,)
(he enters the stage.)
(He has a sense of presence.)
He is charismatic.
King of Mask Singer has dignity.
He is cute.
- How cute! - How cute!
- Anpan Prince is cute. - My goodness.
He became cuter.
His mask became prettier.
- His mask became prettier. - Did it?
Being on TV probably made it prettier.
(That's funny.)
(He has a cute face and a good sense of humor.)
(The King of Mask Singer has the power to make people smile.)
(But the panelists start to harden their faces.)
(That's because he is singing against...)
(the highly impressive rock vocalist.)
(What song is he singing in the moment of crisis?)
("Don't Forget" by Baek Z Young)
(His low voice melts people's hearts.)
(With his soft and gentle breath,)
(Anpan Prince sings about sad confession sweetly.)
(He carefully starts singing about parting.)
(He sings about his ardent love as he slowly reveals his emotion...)
(so everyone feels a great weight of sorrow inside him together.)
(Speechless)
(They give him a big hand from shared emotions.)
(Amazed)
(They relate to the song.)
(I'm in trouble.)
(His sorrow gradually turns into passion.)
(He has locked his sorrows in his heart for a long time,)
(so it moves the audience even more deeply.)
(In awe)
(He lets out a shout with all his feelings.)
(Even if we are at different places under the same sky)
(Come back to me someday)
(That person is me)
(They feel a shudder at the end of his sorrow.)
(This is so nice.)
(His ad-libs sound like a scream in desperation.)
(The reverberation of his voice grows deeper and richer.)
(Anpan Prince's "Don't Forget" was a feast of deep feelings.)
(You are the best.)
(Amazed)
(After appreciating the sad emotions lingering on,)
(they respond with a standing ovation.)
(The panelists can't get out of the sorrow.)
(This is too hard. Who should I vote for?)
Final Match is finally over.
It's time to make a decision.
Number 1 is Wish You All the Best for 2017.
Number two is Red Bean Warrior Anpan Prince.
We have two masked singers...
with totally different colors.
All votes are in.
Jang Hyuk, you look good. What do you think?
How could he make such a deep voice?
Take a look at this mask.
There are two balls...
- next to his nose. - Yes.
It looks like he has three noses.
(Oh my goodness.)
He takes long breaths...
- because he has 3 noses. - And 6 nostrils.
- That's right. - He has large lung capacity.
That's why his voice sounds so stable...
even when he sings in a deep voice.
He sang in a beautiful and melodic voice...
using melisma very well.
(Let's see how good he is.)
(Did you hear that?)
(He is amazing.)
I believe he is the best rhythm and blues singer...
with a big mastery of melisma.
He ad-libs perfectly in tune.
That's how I feel.
He sang a lot of notes...
with a sure ear for pitch.
There's one more thing that surprised me.
He sang with sobs in the middle of the song.
It deeply touched my heart.
(That person is me)
(It made everyone's heart pound.)
(They all are so into Anpan Prince's song.)
He broke...
our hearts with his breath.
(He touched everyone's heart with his breath.)
- He is six nostrils. - I found myself...
not breathing while I listened to the song.
It happens a lot here.
He has six nostrils, but you were not breathing.
I was out of breath.
That's because we were cheering for him.
I held my breath before I knew it...
hoping he would show us a perfect performance.
- You didn't want to miss anything. - That's right.
I see.
Seung Woo, you look very impressed too.
This is my favorite song.
I was so glad that...
Anpan Prince sang the song. Thanks for your great performance.
It was amazing.
I could see the women sitting in front of the stage...
watch his performance in admiration...
with their shoulders slumped.
I don't think he will lose today.
He was that good.
You think he will get many votes from the female panelists.
His voice was so sweet...
that it made even men's hearts flutter.
At the end,
he said, "please don't forget me."
It was so appealing.
I will never forget him.
He said that two more times at the end of the song.
- He said that twice. - Right.
Bong Sun, what are you assuming about the votes from women?
I said something to Ye Bin.
We don't discuss anything before voting.
- That's right. - After we vote,
I asked Ye Bin who she voted for.
And she made...
- this gesture looking shy. - Looking shy.
Yes. So I thought we were connecting.
Then I asked Ga Eun about her decision.
She said, "I voted for Anpan Prince."
- He captured all women's hearts? - Apparently he did.
- I see. - We didn't discuss anything though.
Anpan Prince expressed...
a woman's feeling that men will never know...
with his voice in the song.
He has...
his irresistible charms.
He is made of red beans.
(Red beans?)
- He has his charms like red beans. - He shouldn't have said that.
His charms are like red beans?
It is irresistible.
He shouldn't have said that.
He is a magician of words.
It seems he went too far this time.
His charms are like red beans?
He has his irresistible charms like red beans.
Actually, I think...
they both are the best singers.
It's just that...
they sing different genres of songs, rock and rhythm and blues.
And men and women...
have different preferences in genres.
Men would prefer rock music...
while women would prefer...
rhythm and blues.
I think it is another variable of the match.
There are a lot of couples in the audience today.
There's a chance women forced their boyfriends to vote for Anpan Prince.
Whether they've changed their minds...
or stuck to their personal opinions...
- is key to seeing the result. - Okay.
The match between them...
was amazing.
Some soccer players exchange their uniforms...
- with other players. - Right.
How about you two exchange your pants instead?
Isn't it a good idea?
- What do you think? - They'll look good though.
As both of them were so good, I hope they can do that later.
Right. To build friendship between them.
What do you think, Seul Ong?
Do you think most of the male audience will vote for All the Best?
I think many of them will vote for...
- All the Best. - Yes.
But if any of them has ever gone through a heartbreaking breakup,
I'm sure they'd vote for Anpan Prince.
Many of them could relate to his sing.
(Not only did he captivate girls' hearts...)
(Amazed)
(He also captivated men's hearts.)
There are differences between them.
As for All the Best,
his song is like kissing someone...
staring at one place.
(All his emotions and feelings are carved into his song.)
(Like a powerful kiss)
(Did I make your heart flutter?)
(Then you have the rock spirit.)
On the other hand,
Anpan Prince's voice is like embracing the whole...
with his powerful voice.
(My heart starts pounding little by little.)
(The warmth that surrounds me)
(If you need the warmth,)
(come to me.)
- That's how I felt. - All right.
It seems like you have some experience loving someone deeply.
(Do you think so?)
I'll reveal the result after hearing some more comments.
I'd like to talk about the last part of the song Anpan Prince sang.
When you take the elevator and go down,
you think the fourth basement is the farthest you can go down.
It was like going down a pit when I listened to his song.
That's how I felt when I heard the last part.
You keep going down...
deeper and deeper.
(What's going on?)
(It keeps going down.)
(There comes peace after the fall.)
I was very touched by it.
On the other hand,
All the Best's song was like the elevator going up and up...
until it reaches on top of the ceiling.
(Amazed)
(What now?)
(It keeps going up and up...)
(to outer space.)
I'd say the match was about the highest versus the lowest.
That's the difference between them.
I'll finish by comparing to foreign singers.
- Foreign singers? - The legendary singer, Miljenko.
(Like the singer of the song, "She's Gone",)
(he hits high notes very skillfully.)
- The legendary singer, Miljenko. - I'd put it this way.
It's a match between Miljenko and Michael Bolton.
(Michael Bolton is known for his gentle and sweet voice.)
(It's the voice that took the world by storm.)
(Their singing is as good as the two legendary singers.)
He said it was a match between Miljenko and Michael Bolton.
All right. I think everyone can relate to their songs.
The mysterious music show, King of Mask Singer.
I have the result in my hand.
The king of the crown.
We'll now reveal...
the 48th King of Mask Singer.
Who is the winner?
(He shocked everyone when he made his first appearance.)
(He sang with an explosive energy.)
(He enjoyed the first round with his rock spirit.)
(He also sang a sentimental song.)
(The second round was full of emotions and feelings.)
(This is the real deal.)
(A powerful shout that awakens your senses)
(He sang his heart out.)
(This is the rock spirit.)
(I can't let you take the crown.)
(His emotional and powerful voice swept everyone away like a storm.)
(His song embraced many weary souls.)
(He sang the song that many people could relate to.)
(His truthful voice...)
(proved that he's the real King of Mask Singer.)
The 48th King of Mask Singer...
you've chosen is...
It's...
(It's...)
(It's the nerve-racking moment to determine...)
(the next King of Mask Singer.)
(It's a match between energy and emotions.)
(Who is the final winner...)
(that will end...)
(this long war of music?)
Please reveal who the winner is.
Who is it?
Who is the winner?
Will Anpan Prince be able to keep his crown?
Or All the Best will take his crown?
The 48th King of Mask Singer.
Let's see who the winner is.
Please reveal the result. Who is the winner?
Who is the winner?
Who?
Anpan Prince won again.
He took two consecutive wins.
(Anpan Prince took two consecutive wins...)
(in a fierce battle with the strongest competitor.)
(Anpan Prince beats the powerful vocalist, All the Best,)
(and ascends to the throne again.)
Anpan Prince holds the crown again...
with the score of 62 to 37.
He won with the score of 62 to 37.
With his female fans' support,
Anpan Prince was able to keep his crown.
He'll be awarded the gold mask...
and the gold cape.
Congratulations.
I can hear many female voices in the audience.
Anpan Prince became the 48th King of Mask Singer...
by taking two consecutive wins.
Please say a few words.
I met a very strong competitor...
in the final match.
I want to say thank you and...
I'll present you good enough music you can relate to. Thank you.
Defending his title in the first final match,
he took two consecutive wins.
You may leave the stage after walking around it a bit.
Please give him a big hand.
(See you next time again.)
Congratulations, Anpan Prince.
We'll see him again on stage...
next time.
It was my first defensive match, and the opponent was too strong.
I wonder who will come next.
I think I should get myself ready for another big match.
Who could All the Best be?
Let's find out.
Please turn around.
(His amazing shout blew everyone away.)
Now, All the Best.
Please take off your mask and reveal your face.
(Is he really a rocker?)
(It's seems to be Lee Hyuk of Norazo.)
(But his body is too fit?)
(Is he possibly the masculine actor, Lee Jae Yoon?)
(He's using a head voice.)
(Yada? Or Emerald Castle?)
(All the Best is...)
He is...
(An explosive response)
He is...
Please take off your mask...
and reveal your face.
He is...
the main vocalist of Norazo, Lee Hyuk.
(It's Lee Hyuk.)
(I knew it.)
(They got a hunch with time.)
(He was really awesome.)
Hello, I'm Lee Hyuk. Nice to meet you.
(He's the vocalist of this funky boy band, Norazo.)
("Superman", "Mackerel", "Curry", "Ni Pal Ja Ya", and so on)
(All their funky songs were loved by many.)
(Although he exudes his unique and strong character,)
(his ability to sing high notes very comfortably...)
(in the song, "She's Gone", brought lots of attention.)
(To Japan and to the world)
(He radiates his unique charm on stage.)
(He's the vocalist who doesn't know limits.)
When I look at Jo Bin and Lee Hyuk...
Like "Superman"...
- Son - Right, that's "Superman".
- Songs like "Mackerel"... - "Mackerel", and "Curry".
All your songs are familiar and catchy.
You used to sing those songs.
Today, you performed rock music.
I think you must have been hungry for rock music.
I have.
For almost 12 years,
I've been a vocalist of Norazo.
I couldn't do rock music as much as I wanted.
I've wanted to do rock music so badly.
Recently, I made a rock band.
The name of the band is H.Y.U.K.
- Is that so? - Yes. It was recently made.
We're performing on stage...
as well as preparing for a concert.
We're planning to go on a live tour.
- That's what we are doing now. - I see.
You sang "Rain and Loneliness" in the third round earlier.
Why did you pick that song?
About 20 years ago, when I just started...
my career as a singer and practiced in the basement,
I happened to listen to the song...
on website by chance.
I listened to it with the MP3 player I had at the time.
I wondered, "Would I ever have an opportunity to sing this song..."
"on the stage?"
It was a song that was beyond my capabilities.
- I finally sang it after 20 years. - I see.
I often sang the song alone at the practice room.
You sang it on Round Three too.
- That's right. - You did a great job.
Please give him a round of applause.
Yoon Seok was satisfied with your performance.
- That means it was amazing. - I was satisfied with it too.
Jang Hyuk said he wants to open your mouth...
and study the inside.
(He has a big mouth.)
That's how unique he felt your vocal cords were.
He is the top artist in Korea...
with an ability to hit high notes and singing skills.
If he remains in a band...
and continue to study music,
he will become a master singer...
in the future.
That's what I think.
Thank you for letting us hear your voice.
Today, he let go of his comical image.
Lee Hyuk showed the powerful spirit...
of a traditional rock vocalist.
Please give him a big hand.
Thank you.
(We look forward to your work as a traditional rocker.)
(He looks happy.)
After wearing the mask all day, I am sad to see it go.
(He is sad to let it go.)
In the beginning, people said, "He is a foreigner."
"He doesn't know Korean because he is biracial."
"Norazo is a collaborative group between Korea and Japan."
There were rumors since I had a beard and wore a beanie.
People thought I was Japanese.
When I didn't speak, people assumed that I have a terrible personality.
Then people wondered if I am practicing asceticism.
Even if I combine every word I uttered at events,
they wouldn't amount to what I said today.
"I didn't know Lee Hyuk could pull off that song."
"I didn't know Lee Hyuk could say such things."
I want to slowly change people's perception of me.
Then flowers will grow on the road I travel.
I will plant them well.
