The mysterious music show, King of Mask Singer.
Previously on King of Mask Singer.
With her stylishness and boundless charisma,
the 66th Queen of Mask Singer won for the second time.
Kiss My Lips and Love My Song, Red Mouth.
(I am the second-time winner.)
(They welcome the queen passionately.)
This is a music festival more romantic than white Christmas.
And we welcome you here.
The mysterious music show, King of Mask Singer.
I am your unbiased show host, Kim Seong Ju. Good to see you.
(Key, Lee Ji Hye)
(Ye In of Lovelyz and John Park)
Please greet the viewers.
I am happy that I can meet you again...
as the queen.
It seems that 2017 will end as my year.
(She's cute.)
Let's recap the songs the queen has sung...
during Final Match.
The first one was Blackpink's "Whistle".
That was an impressive performance.
Last week, she sang a song from "The Man From Nowhere",
"Dear".
(He tries to sing it.)
(Her ears are shocked.)
Red Mouth's performance...
becomes a hit every week.
Actually, we shouldn't...
keep encouraging the queen.
We shouldn't force her to keep shocking us.
Here's my suggestion.
- She shocked us twice. - That's right.
So it's time for something peaceful and quiet.
- Something peaceful and quiet. - Yes.
She can perform something quiet after every two shocking ones.
(He's been saying this for weeks.)
We will see which direction she takes.
Now, we will begin the duet song competition.
Let's start the first match of Round One.
(King of Mask Singer)
This is the first match of Round One.
Winter is the high season for my song.
Don't Be Intimidated by My Song.
Don't Cry.
(Don't Be Intimidated by My Song, Don't Cry)
I will sing a warm song...
that will touch your heart.
(Don't cry on Christmas.)
(We won't cry.)
Is the nickname "Don't Cry"?
(As soon as they see her, they laugh.)
How fascinating!
Contending against her is...
this masked singer who will race to the throne riding a sleigh.
Should I Race or Not? Wild Sleigh.
(Should I Race or Not? Wild Sleigh)
I will race to the throne.
Here comes Wild Sleigh.
(Let's go!)
(It's so funny.)
It's a sled.
What's this?
(They finished entering loudly.)
(Ta-da!)
(She seems special.)
(She captures attention with her charm.)
- Is she a girl group member? - They might be both idols.
(They competed for attention from the start.)
(Between these two charming masked singers,)
(who will be the one to win?)
("December" by Turbo)
I love this song.
They always play this song at ski resorts.
You need to sing this song in winter.
(Every winter we think of Turbo's "December".)
(What kind of memories will they make for us?)
(Don't Cry's sharp voice...)
(captures our attention from the start.)
(Oh, dear.)
(Wild Sleigh's voice is unbelievably beautiful.)
(And it warms up the atmosphere like a fireplace.)
(It's lovely, isn't it?)
(Unlike when she was rapping, Don't Cry's singing voice is sweet.)
(It's sweet.)
(She's good.)
(It's Wild Sleigh's time to rap like crazy.)
(Both of them are good at singing and rapping.)
(She's immersed in the performance.)
(Their harmony builds up like white snow...)
(that will brighten up Christmas Eve.)
("December" was like a gift under a Christmas tree.)
(That was a lovely first performance.)
That was so good. Merry Christmas.
- It was sweet. - Wasn't it?
They're like a man and a woman who met at a church.
The song was so lovely.
The first duet song...
of Round One is finished.
The first match was like a Christmas gift.
Let's ask the poet of music industry, Yu Young Seok.
- Yes. - How was their performance?
When a singer and a non-singer...
sing together, sometimes it can be quite awkward.
But their voices harmonized beautifully.
- You mean to say... - One person...
- One person is not a singer? - is not a singer.
That's right.
I will comment on Don't Cry. Like her name,
when she raps, her voice is very energetic.
When she sings, her voice becomes warm...
and soft.
He is indeed a poet.
She rapped and sang well.
- You liked both of them. - Yes.
But I think she's not a professional singer.
You think she's not a singer.
She's not, but her performance was as great as that of a singer's.
This idea came across my mind...
- as soon as he started singing. - Is that so?
With the voice of an idol singer, he performed a rocker's music.
I think there must be a V12 engine in the sleigh.
You mean he has an explosive energy.
I have a feeling that he might show us something incredible...
- once the engine starts working. - My goodness.
Hyun Chul, how did you like their performance?
I'd like to comment on Don't Cry first.
There are a lot of things that construct a song.
Tune, rhythm, pronunciation,
face expression, and so on.
- One of them is confidence. - Confidence.
In terms of confidence, she would be the best in Korea.
- I see. - She's confident.
So she sings well.
- She's confident. - Confident.
- I liked that she was confident. - Confidence is important for sure.
And as for Wild Sleigh...
His soft and gentle voice...
- It's soft. - is very charming.
There's one thing that crossed my mind.
I have a feeling that he might have been in the same period as I was.
He was active as a singer when you were?
I feel like I heard his voice back then.
Isn't he Lee Jang Woo?
- Hang on. Say the initials please. - Lee Jang Woo.
M, O, N, O.
- M, O, N, O. - M?
- M, O, N, O? - Yes.
Are you kidding?
- Is his name in three syllables? - What kind of name is that?
The name of the group is Mono.
- Then it's not initials. - I mean...
- You just mentioned its name. - You just said it.
They're not initials. You could've just said "mono".
Anyway, his voice is...
- Mono? - so similar to...
to the vocal of the group, Mono.
- His name is Kim Bo Hee. - Isn't he a musical singer now?
When I heard Don't Cry rapping,
I thought she might be Nada.
- I thought she might be a rapper. - You thought she was that good.
But then she started to sing.
I recognized something innocent in her voice.
- Something innocent? - Yes.
You put it in a nice way.
- She sounded innocent and... - What if you say it in a mean way?
Her talent is raw.
(She shows a funny reaction to the mean comment too.)
- That's what I felt. - She sings in her own way.
Whenever we say something, she reacts so hard...
and whenever she gets a compliment, she sends us so many hearts.
- You're right. - She sent us numerous hearts.
Typical comedians are like that.
(Bong Sun thinks she's a typical comedienne.)
- You think she's a comedienne. - Yes, she's in our field,
but she's one of those pretty ones. She's not like me.
There are a group of comedians who are pretty.
- You think she's a pretty one. - Yes.
I have a feeling that she might be a pretty comedienne.
Gu Ra is shaking his head.
Actually, I can't agree to such a ridiculous opinion.
I'm her senior comedian.
But I can't agree with her.
- I have someone in my mind. - Who is that?
- Who is it? - You have someone in your mind?
- She's Ms. M. - Ms. M?
No one knows who Ms. M could be.
- Who is that? - S...
- MS? - J.
- MSJ? - I think she's Maeng Seung Ji.
That's a mistake.
- Maeng Seung Ji? - She's making a mistake.
It will be clear once we see her specialties, but I think...
- she's not a comedienne. - You don't think she is?
Then, to help you guys guess their identities,
they're going to show you their specialties.
We'll start with Don't Cry.
She said she can imitate the characters...
from horror movies.
First, she'll start with a zombie. Show us your zombie voice.
(Growling)
That's all.
That was her real voice.
She's not a comedienne. She's not a comedienne.
- She's not? Really? - She's not a comedienne.
Next, she'll show you...
the voice of the evil spirit from the movie, "Exorcist".
Please show us the voice of the evil spirit.
(Growling)
(It's over.)
That was the evil spirit. That was the evil spirit.
The zombie and the evil spirit's voices sound the same.
Their voices sounded a little similar to each other. They didn't?
What's the voice of the zombie like?
(Growling)
What about the evil spirit?
(Growling)
That's all.
- They sound exactly the same. - They sound the same.
- They sound the same. - They sound the same.
People seem to like it. You just heard her real voice.
It was her real voice.
Now, let's check out Wild Sleigh's specialties.
It seems like he's a very adorable person.
He said he's going to sing a love song.
Wild Sleigh, please sing us a love song.
(Look, I have something to tell you)
(It somehow sounds like a hymn.)
(Wild Sleigh, please wish us a happy new year.)
(I love you)
(He makes a cute gesture.)
(That was so cheesy.)
His voice sounds really familiar.
- I have no idea how old he can be. - How old do you think he is?
- I think he's in his 20s. - Is he?
Yes, he must be in his 20s. I'm now in my 30s.
I can't do something like that because it's too embarrassing.
Could you sing this song? Let's see how you sing.
(Let's try it out today.)
- Me? - Since it's brought up, why not?
- Before you get older. - They won't stop until you do it.
- It seems like it. - They won't stop.
Could you give me a mask as well? This is so embarrassing.
Before you become 30, you should do it.
(She covers his face with a temporary mask.)
Cover his eyes. Just the eyes.
(Look)
(I have something to tell you)
(The shy boy does what he's asked.)
(I love you this much)
(I love you)
(John is indeed an adorable guy.)
You ask him to do this kind of things...
whenever he comes to the broadcasting station.
That's why he call the staff here broadcasting jerks.
(Look, I have something to tell you)
(Hey, you broadcasting jerks!)
(You'd better do a good job when you edit the video.)
(Now we have enough footages from John.)
Now, I will announce the result of the first match of Round One.
I wonder to which voice were the panelists...
more attracted to.
Let's check out the result right now!
Who will be the first one to move on to Round Two?
(Her voice is husky yet feminine.)
(Don't Cry's sweet voice pleased our ears.)
(Fighting against her voice,)
(Wild Sleigh sang in a high-pitched voice.)
(His voice tells that he's an experienced singer.)
Whose voice will we get to hear...
again on Round Two? Who will be the winner?
The winner is...
- The winner is... - The winner is...
(Don't Cry and Wild Sleigh were a great duet.)
(Guess who have attracted more panelists.)
The first contestant to move on to Round Two is...
The winner is...
(Wild Sleigh is the winner.)
Wild Sleigh is the winner!
(Wild Sleigh slides to Round Two!)
(Congratulations!)
Don't Cry's voice was nice though.
(My goodness.)
He beat her with the score of 72 to 27.
He won by quite a wide margin.
Please give him a round of applause.
You may now go backstage.
We can see Wild Sleigh again on Round Two.
Everyone, see you on Round Two. Bye.
Let's check out who she is.
Her identity will be revealed through her solo performance.
Please give it up for her.
(She's a skilled singer who can both sing and rap.)
(I love you.)
(But she is not a singer?)
(She is one of the most confident people in Korea.)
(Don't Cry shows a lot of reactions.)
(Is she a typical comedienne?)
(Is she Maeng Seung Ji?)
- That's a mistake. - Maeng Seung Ji?
(Does her specialty prove that she's a comedienne?)
("Miss Korea" by Lee Hyo Ri)
(Dancing)
Look at her dancing.
(Don't Cry's performance is already exciting.)
She's a cheerful person.
(Don't Cry's performance is already exciting.)
(What lively energy is she going to show us this time?)
It's "Miss Korea".
(Her husky voice is unique and charming.)
(Who could she be?)
(The song resembles Don't Cry's confidence.)
(She's confident.)
(Her positive energy spreads out.)
(She makes gestures that match the lyrics.)
(Cute)
(She must be a comedienne.)
(Her identity is still a mystery.)
Now, Don't Cry, please take off your mask...
and reveal your face.
(Screaming)
She is...
Why?
What?
(It makes them more curious.)
Who is it?
She is...
Han Bo Reum from "Go Back Couple",
the new actress with captivating charms.
(She calmly starts singing again even after two mistakes.)
(It was Han Bo Reum who starred in "Go Back Couple".)
(Bo Reum sings on stage with confidence.)
(Cute)
(She tries her best even though this is an unfamiliar stage for her.)
(She has charms like a black hole that draw in your mind.)
(Dancing lightly)
(Hello, everyone.)
(Goodness.)
(Her confident eye contact...)
(makes everyone excited.)
(He took Bong Sun's telescope.)
("Miss Korea" by Han Bo Reum, a pleasant performance)
(It was the best.)
I didn't know she was so charming.
Gosh, she's so pretty.
Please say hello to our viewers.
Hello, I'm Han Bo Reum. It's good to see you.
All right.
(She debuted on "Dream High" as she proved her dance skills.)
(On "Pots of Gold", "Modern Farmer", "All is Well", and "Master's Sun",)
(she perfectly played roles such as...)
(an aspiring musician and a scary ghost.)
(Her impressive acting on "Go Back Couple"...)
(even made the girls have a crush on her.)
(Her wide range of acting ability was recognized...)
(as she won the best new actress award.)
(She became very popular on TV shows...)
(with her fresh, cute charms.)
(Han Bo Reum, a passionate actress with 7 years of experience)
When you heard you were cast on our show,
you checked again many times...
if you were really going to be on our show.
Why did you do that?
I'm not a professional singer,
and I thought only good singers could be on this show.
That's why I was doubtful, but it was true.
(She was doubtful of her appearance on the show.)
Your eyes are filled with tears now.
Was it that overwhelming to sing here?
I'm just tired.
- Oh, you're tired. - Yes.
You're tired. All right.
- It's also hot. - Okay.
I was going to make this a touching moment,
but you're just tired.
Don't try to turn it into a touching moment.
- I know, I know. - Why would you do that?
She seems to be very frank...
and straightforward. Am I right?
- I was really surprised to see her. - Why?
I kept thinking she would be a comedienne.
You thought she was Maeng Seung Ji.
- You were so sure. - Yes. I thought so,
but when she took off her mask,
she didn't have a face of a comedienne.
But she seems to be a little silly and tomboyish.
I think it makes her even more charming.
You're right.
This is your actual personality, right?
She made many people so happy,
and she inspirited them like a cheerleader.
She has a voice that makes people happy.
She showed off her charms as she sang and rapped.
Through our show, she showed us her many charms.
It was Han Bo Reum. Let's give her a big hand.
Thank you.
(We hope to see you more often.)
Gosh, I was so nervous.
(Smiling)
I don't know if I did well.
People often tell me I look like...
a coldhearted, overbearing person,
but I'm quite mischievous.
This was a special experience because...
I was able to show you that.
Being on this stage...
made me braver and more confident.
I'd like to try singing the theme song of the drama I star in...
and taking part in musicals.
Thank you, King of Mask Singer, for making me more confident.
Don't Be Intimidated by My Song, Don't Cry...
was me, Han Bo Reum.
I'm glad I got to show you a new side of me on Christmas eve.
I hope you'll see me on many other great shows.
Merry Christmas.
This is the result of Round One.
Should I Race or Not? Wild Sleigh defeated Han Bo Reum...
and moved on to Round Two.
The second match of Round One.
Dating is a luxury,
and my songs are also a luxury.
I Love Me,
Invincible Single Squad.
Invincible Single Squad, listen to my song!
(We're Invincible Single Squad.)
(Salute)
(Dating isn't so bad.)
"I Love Me".
I can relate to that.
I'm going to vote for him.
Let's meet his opponent.
You won't be lonely with his song.
Everyone Is...
Home Alone.
It's okay to be alone.
You have my songs.
(You've got to listen to songs alone on Christmas.)
You should watch "Home Alone" on Christmas.
Will it be on TV this year too?
I can't wait.
(The match between single men on Christmas)
(People are more excited than ever to see this match.)
(Who will be going home alone on Christmas Eve?)
("Night After Night" by In Soo Ni)
(His cheerful voice makes everyone excited.)
(I don't want to be alone.)
(His clear voice hits your ears.)
(The two masked singers make pleasant chemistry.)
(Shall we dance?)
(What?)
(Dancing)
(Let's have some fun.)
(Let's go one more time.)
(The two men's perfect stage...)
(fills up the Christmas Eve.)
It was very exciting.
This is a tough match to judge.
They're both good singers.
We've finished...
the second match of Round One.
For your information,
they were sure about their victory in the waiting room.
They were so sure that they can beat the other.
They were both confident.
Who will be the winner?
I'm curious as well.
Jang Hyuk, please say a word...
as a rocker and performer.
When they began their duet performance,
I watched closely to guess who's a singer...
- and who's not. - Did you?
The song, "Night After Night", itself can't tell you...
who's a singer.
- I see. - The song itself.
It's too difficult to tell who's a singer...
- by listening to this song. - I see.
First off, I could feel something by listening to...
Home Alone's pronunciation.
He used his tongue like most rockers do.
Night after night
Like this.
- You mean, this man? - I hate to think about you
(Night after night)
(I hate to think about you)
(Did you forget about me?)
- Did you forget - Did you forget
- He sang like this. - He's definitely a rocker.
It was very refreshing to hear.
I enjoyed it very much.
Thank you for the performance.
- In case of Single Squad, - All right.
he was amazing in controlling his voice.
He sang like this at first.
Then he went softly like this. He used his voice...
in such various ways.
Within a short measure,
he can express everything he wants to.
I'm thinking...
he might advance to the last round today.
- That's how I think. - You think so?
His performance on the stage was perfect.
His singing technique and posture were perfect as well.
He might be a very experienced singer.
His nickname is Single Squad.
But I don't think it's like he's never dated someone.
It's like he's single...
after getting a divorce 3 or 4 times before.
Someone with a lot of experiences.
- He experienced a lot. - It's only a personal comment.
He's single. I'm single. Everyone's single.
- Right. - But for him,
it doesn't feel like he's never been in love.
- He's a single with experiences. - Right.
I think he has much potential.
He's gone through a lot.
He's a single who doesn't get hurt easily.
Good.
They needed to sing this song like a rocker.
And Yoon Seok is the expert in rock singing.
Do you think anyone of them is a rocker?
Home Alone must be...
- a rocker in a town. - I see.
He must be a rocker only in karaoke rooms.
- Karaoke rooms. - Right.
Whenever he sang the parts where it was pronounced like,
"Night", "I don't know",
- or "Don't leave me", - "I don't know."
he was great at pronouncing complex vowels.
He was great.
I voted for Home Alone by the way.
- I see. - Because...
it's Christmas Eve.
We need to have fun with someone who's good at complex vowels today.
It's more exciting that way.
That's right.
But I'm not sure if other people...
voted for him too.
(Disappointed)
You voted for him,
but you're not sure about his win.
I assume it'll be a lonely vote.
That's how I think.
And about Single Squad,
he must've been considerate towards his opponent...
and not put too much effort.
It was like he was getting reserve duty training.
He sang so comfortably.
But in terms of singing skills,
he's like some kind of general from a military academy.
- He's skilled. - He's like a general.
He must be a solo veteran singer.
- That's my guess. - What about his career length?
It might be longer than mine.
- You think he's older than you? - Yes, I think he's a real veteran.
Does it mean he was born in 1960s?
Right, either in the late 60s or early 70s.
He was so relaxed when he performed a while ago.
It was a high pitched and difficult song,
- but he pulled it off so easily. - I see.
Let me add to his comment.
Here's what I think about Home Alone.
Those who have often performed in night clubs...
sing in such a way.
That's how they pronounce the lyrics.
- Since they're full of excitement. - Right.
Maybe that's why he's home alone.
I want to carefully add this opinion.
I don't think he's a singer.
I think he's rather a comedian who performs often in night clubs.
Someone who's good at singing...
and DJing too.
A singing comedian.
- He may be a singing comedian. - I see.
A comedian who can sing.
- A comedian who can sing. - A singing comedian?
- Sorry. - That sounded a bit off.
- Singing comedian. - Sorry.
Okay. I see.
Let's have some time to check their specialties.
For your information,
they're very famous that you will recognize them...
as soon as they take off their masks.
So listen carefully...
to their real voices.
(You are famous?)
They don't know each other's identity either.
And both of them are insisting...
that the other isn't a singer.
Keep that in mind.
Let's listen to Home Alone's real voice first.
He'll try imitating Kim Heung Kook's voice.
Show us Kim Heung Kook's voice.
Gosh, bring it on.
(Laughing)
That's all.
It may not be similar to Heung Kook's voice.
But his real voice came out.
- Can you do it one more time? - It's easy to recognize his voice.
Something other than what you just did.
He'll try singing in Jun In Kwon's voice.
Listen carefully. His real voice can be heard.
Go ahead.
Don't be petty
(Shouting)
That's all. Thank you.
I think he's an actor.
I guess he's a comical actor...
in his 40s.
That's my guess.
You're in the right direction.
Good. This time,
it's Single Squad's turn.
It's so called, "Looking for Groaning Sound".
He's going to make a groaning sound from a hangover.
People often groan like this when they have a hangover.
Go ahead.
(Sighing)
(You can imagine the sight full of alcohol smell...)
(just by listening to it.)
(It's killing me.)
That's all. Thank you.
Stop now.
This time, it's a groaning sound of someone with a cold.
It's a sound of someone who lives alone and caught a cold.
Please let us hear someone groaning from a cold.
(Why am I alone when I'm so sick?)
That's enough.
It's hilarious. That's exactly how it sounds.
He's so funny.
He's hilarious.
He must be someone who often appears in "Yu Hui Yeol's Propose".
- Right? -"Yu Hui Yeol's Propose"?
Oh, that's not the title.
- You mean, "Lee So Ra's Propose"? - I'm sorry.
- What was that? - It's "Yu Hui Yeol's Sketchbook".
There's no such show called "Yu Hui Yeol's Propose".
- It's an imaginary show. - All right.
He's has a great sense of humor.
That hangover sound was the best.
For me, the cold sound was the best.
Could you make that sound again?
He sat on the floor and groaned.
(He sits down again.)
You usually get...
a hangover and a cold together.
You know well.
(A hangover and a cold...)
(combined in one)
That's right.
That's enough.
He's suffering from tonsillitis too.
Exactly. A cold and hangover often come together.
- His voice reminds me of someone. - Who?
There's a star who's crazy hot on social media these days.
It's Ko Jang Hwan of Namolla Family.
His voice is so similar.
(He became viral through videos about shoe sponsorship.)
I'm back again.
These are the shoes.
I don't know. They seem little too big for me.
I don't know. They are as big as this fire extinguisher.
I don't know. They're as big as this water tank.
I don't know. The shoe is so big that it doesn't fit in here.
Ko Jang Hwan?
"I will brag a little about myself."
- He does this. - "Alone Family"?
- He sounds so similar. - It's "Lonely Family".
Ko Jang Hwan of "Lonely Family".
- It's "Namolla Family". - It's "Namolla Family".
- "Alone Family"? - Why did you try to correct me?
- You don't know either. - I'm sorry.
- Don't act like you know it. - I'm sorry.
- Well, I'm sorry. - Go propose someone or something.
Everyone on social media...
is crazy about him these days. Everyone copies him.
The panelists are guessing...
Ko Jang Hwan to be Single Squad.
Yoon Seok is quick to recognize a voice from groaning sounds.
(It's his specialty.)
All right. This time, it's Home Alone's specialty again.
He's good at kicking jegi.
He can kick it for 50 times, and it's no big deal for him.
I'm not sure if it's going to work because you're wearing a mask.
How many times do you think you can do?
All right, about 30 times.
Some showed strange hand gestures while kicking jegi in the past.
Right.
Some of their hands went out of control like this.
- Their hands went like this. - There were people like that.
You have to show us some of those gestures to make it funny.
All right. Go ahead and show us.
(He can kick a jegi for many times.)
1, 2, 3, 4,
5, 6, 7,
- 8, 9, 10, 11, - He's really good.
- 12, 13, 14, - He's no joke.
- 15, 16, 17, 18, - Goodness.
- 19, 20, 21, - Gosh.
- 22, 23, 24, 25, - Goodness.
- He's really good. - 26, 27,
- 28, and that's it. - Gosh.
(He succeeded to kick jegi for 28 times.)
(That was amazing.)
You are quite talented in kicking jegi.
That's good.
That's how you make variety shows fun.
- He is right. - That's good.
John, have you figured anything out?
The master of kicking jegi, Home Alone,
seems like someone who has an experience of outdoor variety shows.
- A variety show. - Yes.
People kick jegi often in those shows.
They don't kick jegi in MBC shows.
Then are those people not cast?
Are the members of KBS shows not allowed here?
It's not like that.
- KBS shows love jegi. - I see.
Forget it then.
(He sulks.)
- Don't sulk. - It's not like that.
I like people like him.
Judging from their performance...
You think he is someone who has experience in outdoor variety shows.
That's what I think.
All right.
Now, I will announce the result of the second match of Round One.
Who will move on to Round Two?
I'll now reveal the winner of this match.
Between the two male vocalists...
(He captured the audience by delivering the lyrics nicely.)
(Home Alone has a honey-like voice without an escape.)
(He has a cheerful voice that sticks to the ears.)
(Single Squad is a relaxed vocalist.)
Between Single Squad and Home Alone,
who will be the winner?
The winner is...
Single Squad!
Home Alone.
The winner is...
(Two men have a big match on Christmas.)
(Hurry up and tell me the result.)
Let's check out the result.
The winner is...

Single Squad won.
(Long live Single Squad.)
(They will hear Single Squad's refreshing voice once more.)
He did well.
(They will hear Single Squad's refreshing voice once more.)
(It's sad that the master of jegi lost.)
Single Squad won.
Single Squad beats Home Alone...
with a score of 68 to 31...
and moves on to Round Two.
Please go back to your waiting room. Please give him a big hand.
(The charming Home Alone's identity will be revealed soon.)
He moves on to Round Two.
I will show my invincible power.
Let's go!
What's his profession?
We will reveal his identity with his solo performance.
Please give him a big hand!
(Is he a rocker with refreshing singing skills?)
(Is he a comedian with a witty specialty?)
(Who could Home Alone be?)
("My Love in Distant Memory" by Park Sang Min)
It's an old song, right?
- Isn't it a song by Park Sang Min? - It's a hard song to sing.
("My Love in Distant Memory" is a legendary song.)
(My goodness.)
(He completely changes from the duet performance.)
(His voice is smooth and mellow.)
(I have heard his voice before.)
(He makes the audience to listen carefully.)
(He has a sentimental voice that goes well with white snow.)
Now,
Home Alone, please take off your mask...
and reveal your face.
(This is incredible.)
He is...
(Screaming)
People are screaming excitedly.
Who is he?
(Who is making the audience scream?)
He is...
a handsome and talented actor, Kim Byung Se.
(Actor Kim Byung Se?)
(He is a familiar face they didn't expect to see.)
No way! No way!
(They are about to pass out.)
(Home Alone's identity is totally unexpected.)
(His manly and husky voice,)
(as well as his singing skills amaze the audience.)
(Instead of acting, today, he sings...)
(to move the audience's hearts.)
(This is incredible.)
(He has incredible singing skills...)
(that broke many people's prejudices.)
(Kim Byung Se, the man of talent, sang "My Love in Distant Memory".)
(We fell in love with you twice.)
He is good.
He is an actor.
My goodness, Mr. Kim
(I missed you. Welcome.)
Please say hello to the viewers.
Hello.
My voice went hoarse.
I am a man with a hoarse voice, Kim Byung Se.
(I am a man with a hoarse voice, Kim Byung Se.)
(He is veteran actor of 25 years who debuted in 1993.)
(He made an appearance in "Heo Jun", "Lover", "Phoenix", and many more.)
(With a broad acting spectrum,)
(he makes the audience laugh and cry.)
(He is the prince of dramas.)
(With acting skills that make each episode shine,)
(he won various awards.)
(He became the frequent recipient of awards at year-ends.)
(He even appeared in variety shows with good stories.)
(A handsome middle-aged actor, Kim Byung Se)
Upon receiving the invitation, you thought, "My time has come."
I heard that you welcomed the invitation.
Before I became an actor, I dreamed of becoming a singer.
- You dreamed of becoming a singer. - That's right.
Back then, I sang at a place called Laser Disc.
It played music videos with subtitles.
I received a big hand when I sang at such places.
That's why I wanted to become a singer.
However, people who debuted before me were...
Byun Jin Sub, Shin Seung Hun, and Kim Gun Mo.
That's why I gave up right away.
- They are strong opponents. - That's right.
The panelists guessed that you could be a rocker.
Are you satisfied with your performance?
I love the panelists.
They are handsome and beautiful.
The prejudice Kim Byung Se wanted to break...
through King of Mask Singer...
is the one about his unapproachable and cold image.
In dramas,
I often play...
rigid characters who act like a villain.
That's why junior actors...
find it hard to talk to me.
I am not such a difficult man.
- I am like a man next door. - I see.
To break that prejudice,
I tried my best to show my cheerful side.
- I don't think I did a good job. - That's not true.
You brought yourself closer to the public.
A lot of people will approach you more easily.
I think you succeeded.
Among middle-aged women,
you are more popular than Jang Dong Gun.
That's why you have an unapproachable image.
Your appearance today...
made me feel closer to you.
- Thank you. - It was nice.
- I think you succeeded today. - Thank you.
With cheerful performances,
Kim Byung Se realized his long-forgotten dream.
Give him a round of applause.
Thank you. Thank you.
Thank you.
(We will cheer you on.)
I didn't know they would respond so enthusiastically.
That's why the performances I had on the show are precious...
and unforgettable.
I chose to show the specialties I am good at.
I think my performances were a success...
because they showed a different side of me.
The year-end is fast approaching.
Don't stay home alone.
Welcome the new year...
happily with your family.
I am Kim Byung Se, Home Alone.
(I am Kim Byung Se, Home Alone.)
I Love Me, Invincible Single Squad...
beat Kim Byung Se and moved on to Round Two.
The third round of Round One.
Her joints and vocal cords are strong.
Merry, Are You There?
Climbing Grandma.
Just like conquering a mountain,
I'll conquer the King of Mask Singer.
(Let's go conquer the King of Mask Singer.)
- She's walking with a cane. - She's climbing.
She's Climbing Grandma.
Her opponent is...
a commanding soldier of sweet songs.
Nutcracker...
with Healthy Teeth.
Please look forward to a fantastic performance of Nutcracker.
(He appears on stage brushing his teeth.)
(Surprised)
Healthy teeth?
I bet both of them would be good.
(They just showed up, but they already look like master singers.)
(Who will captivate the hearts of the audience?)
("Couple" by Sechs Kies)
I don't like couples.
Ji Hye, you look excited.
I'm so excited. I'm happy.
I hate all couples.
Go fight!
(They all enjoy Christmas together.)
(Amazed)
(His sweet voice captures your heart.)
(Surprised)
(A unique voice catches your ear.)
(Two singers with different charms make a beautiful harmony.)
(The man is good.)
(I've been so lonely)
(Why did you find me)
(It's a happy Christmas for both couples and singles.)
(Their fantastic performance makes everyone happy.)
I'm so happy.
Grandma has a very unique voice.
Yes, it's very unique.
(I'm happy too.)
(Climbing Grandma bewitches people with her unique voice.)
(Nutcracker tells a romantic story with his gentle voice.)
(I love you)
(Nutcracker has a sweet voice.)
(She expresses her uniqueness only with her voice.)
(Their sweet harmony warms people's hearts.)
(It was like a Christmas gift full of happiness.)
I can't decide.
- Me too. - He sounds very good.
I have no idea.
This is so hard.
The third match of Round One is over.
I think we'll be able to see...
which of the panelists are good guessers with this match.
We should work together to find out who they are.
Bong Sun, don't try to make people laugh.
- You should take this seriously. - I'll be serious.
Be serious.
- Don't try to be funny. - I've been always serious.
- All right. - Don't make jokes.
This isn't easy. Let's start with the wandering minstrel, Young Seok.
As Nutcracker started singing,
I thought he has an absolute sweet voice.
He has a glossy voice.
It's so glossy that even flies would slip on it.
And he sang in perfect breath and tune.
It was neat.
Compared to him, Climbing Grandma...
has a hoarse voice. The voice is very hoarse.
If I have to choose one who sung better,
I'd say Climbing Grandma's voice was better.
- Despite the hoarse voice? - It's like this.
You threw a ball in a baseball game.
The ball is so slow that you can even see the stitches.
But the batter can't hit your ball.
Her voice was just like that.
It's like a slow ball that the batter can never hit.
To compare them, Nutcracker was...
like neat and proper Korean food,
whereas Climbing Grandma was like unique Thai food with strong scent.
She has a distinctive voice...
and singing style.
It was very hard to choose one of them.
First, Climbing Grandma.
There are a lot of singers...
who used to live in other countries.
The first generation consists of Kim Jo Han,
As One, J, and Yoon Mi Rae.
She's the latest version of those singers.
She has the unique buttery accent.
She's not used to singing in Korean.
What do you mean by buttery?
- Her voice is buttery. - Buttery?
Exactly. He's right.
That's great.
That's broken English though.
When she sang,
"I love you", she sounded like this.
- I love you - I agree.
- John used to live abroad too. - John, do you agree?
She sounded a little like Cyndi Lauper.
- I agree. She did. - Right?
They're talking about Cyndi Lauper.
I totally agree with them.
- You do? - Yes.
- And her pronunciation... - You're working together.
I think she used to live in another country.
Do you think she's a singer?
I think she is, but not a main vocalist.
She has a pretty voice,
so she'd sing the highlight of her group's song.
She's not a main vocalist though. Maybe a sub vocalist.
- A sub vocalist? - Probably.
A sub vocalist.
That's my guess.
- And she sings the highlight. - Intensely.
- Intensely? - That's right.
- She's a member of a girl group? - She is.
I think I know Climbing Grandma.
You know her?
- Because... - Do you really know her?
my colleagues who debuted around the same time period with me...
- have a voice like that. - Like who?
- As Ji Hye just said, - Who?
- Nicole of Kara. - Nicole! She used to live abroad.
And CL sings like that.
- CL? - CL.
I think she's one of them.
Are you saying she's an idol?
Yes. I think she's an idol singer.
When she sings a song idols usually sing...
How do you call it?
- Impact. - There's a great impact.
- Impact. - There's a big impact.
- Impact? - It sounds powerful.
When we sing a dance song, our voices become powerful.
I'm sorry for using a slang.
- Is that a slang? - It is.
Is that the slang word for "impact"?
A lot of times, your unique voice plays to your advantage.
My guess is that she is an idol with much experience.
All right. Key guessed that she might be an idol.
Ye In. Perhaps you met her somewhere?
As soon as I heard her voice, I thought it was very unique.
But I've never heard of that voice.
Someone with such voice usually sings the best parts.
She's got the voice that resonates in your head.
Her expression sounds classy.
Seong Ju, do me a favor.
Earlier, I said something similar.
Could you edit that part out and add in the words "best part"?
- Please do the same for me. - Edit in the words "best part".
It sounds really classy.
You like the words "best part".
Can you say the line then? We will use it to edit.
All right, Ji Hye.
It's the best part.
Okay.
We will edit it in.
Key, do the same.
What is it, Key?
People with such unique voice usually sing the best parts.
- Okay. We got it. - That's it.
- We will edit those in. - I'm sure you will.
(It's the best part of the group.)
(I think that person is an idol singer.)
(When someone with such voice...)
(sings the best part...)
This person has the eyes of an hawk. Kai, what do you think?
Climbing Grandma's voice...
had a very strong presence.
Her voice has strong presence.
Yes. The problem is...
that her gestures and her postures...
look unseasoned.
They seem rather awkward and fresh.
It's as if she's not a celebrity or if she's an athlete.
She doesn't seem to be a singer.
- Does she feel awkward here? - Yes.
The golfing season is finished.
Considering what Ji Hye said,
she might be a golfer who played on LPGA.
Right. That could be it.
- Perhaps she's a golfer. - Yes.
- You think she might be a golfer... - Right.
- who works abroad. - I think she's a golfer.
Wait. I will ask a question.
Do you think Nutcracker is a singer then?
- Yes. I think he's a singer. - Yes.
- Are you sure about this? - I am certain that he is.
He sings with a clean...
and typical singing method of a singer.
- He's obviously a trained vocalist. - Is he?
Ever since the first note,
he vibrated his voice at regular intervals.
- He's a trained singer. - He's a trained singer..
I don't think Nutcracker is a singer.
- Why do you say that? - I don't think he is.
- Everyone thinks he is. - I...
I don't agree with them.
- He... - I understand why you said...
it's going nowhere.
- But he... - It's going nowhere.
- Listen to me. No, no. - What?
- He's not a singer but an actor... - Why do you say that?
- who sings well. - An actor.
- He sings too well. - He sings too well though.
Anyway, it's lovely to see you...
working together to identify them.
They will show us their specialties...
and give us more hints.
First, Nutcracker will show us his specialty.
He can imitate Yoon Min Su's...
voice very well.
Nutcracker, please imitate Yoon Min Su.
While looking at the photograph
I tore one side
(He perfectly imitates Min Su's singing method.)
(But it's making him out of breath.)
I think you're going to faint.
He's good.
- He's good. - He's a singer.
- He's a singer. - He's 100 percent a singer.
- He's certainly a singer. - He's clearly a singer.
Usually, people wait until later to imitate Min Su.
- But he did it so early. - I know.
That was the new version of Yoon Min Su.
This time, Climbing Grandma will show us her specialty.
She's going to beatbox.
Yes. When she beatboxes,
Nutcracker will...
dance for her once.
Can you do that?
You might shine more.
Climbing Grandma, please start beatboxing.
(Here comes Climbing Grandma.)
(To Climbing Grandma's beatboxing,)
(Nutcracker dances.)
(Beatboxing)
(Let's move as much as I can.)
- That's it. - All right.
They work great together.
- By the way, - They're young people.
everyone here must've thought...
they weren't up to our expectations.
- You mean the beatboxing? - The beatboxing was too simple,
and the dance wasn't so good.
Wasn't it too weak compared to his voice imitation?
That convinces me...
that Climbing Grandma is an athlete.
- Her beatboxing was... - This is...
- It was bad. - Yes.
Can you do it a little better?
- Can you? - Show us a better version.
Do a wilder version. Do what you can do.
Only do what you can do.
Okay?
- She's shaking. - She's flustered.
- She's shaking her hands. - It's all right.
- She's shaking her hands. - Don't be alarmed.
Don't be surprised. We won't hurt you.
- Give it a try. - We don't hurt people.
Let's just make it a little fancier.
Climbing Grandma will beatbox now.
(She bursts into a laughter.)
- Don't be pressured. - Don't be nervous.
- It's all right. - That makes us feel sorry.
You did well at first. Just relax this time.
Start beatboxing.
(She beatboxes again.)
(Nutcracker dances again.)
(Did it get better?)
(Laughing)
(It doesn't sound like beatboxing.)
(It's a mess.)
- It's... - It's just the same as before.
It's way too slow.
- It's like traditional song. - Seong Ju.
That's good enough.
We at least got to see her hand gesture. That's all we need.
Can't we ask him to dance? I think he will dance well.
- Can you dance? - Let's see him dance alone.
Can you dance to a song?
All right.
Please play the music for Nutcracker.
(He dances.)
(He's got fancy footsteps.)
It's a randomly played song.
(His amazing impromptu dance...)
(is just one move.)
(This move works for any songs.)
(He makes a small variation.)
That's it.
(He did his best.)
That was an impromptu dance.
That was all improvised.
He just repeated the same move over and over.
- Right. Right. - Yes.
You know those dancing toys they sell on streets?
They can only do a few moves.
- Right. - Only a few moves.
He was like one of those toys.
- Seeing his dance... - Yes, John.
confirms what he said.
- He's not a dancer. - Right.
He's not an idol group member.
He's someone who likes dancing at a club,
repeating the same dance moves.
That was the impression I got.
- He might be in his 20s. - In his 20s.
But he doesn't have too many fans...
that he can manage to go to clubs.
He's not too famous.
I think he must live a very free life.
- He doesn't mind people's eyes. - Right.
At the start, I warned you to pay attention...
when guessing for Group Three.
The celebrity panelists took a vote,
and the result...
is 6 to 6.
(It's 6 to 6.)
It's an intense match.
The regular panelists' votes...
decided who will go to Round Two.
Who is the winner of this match...
who captured your heart? We will reveal it now.
(She has a unique voice.)
(Climbing Grandma has the voice perfect for the best parts.)
(He has a sweet voice.)
(Nutcracker put on a lovely performance.)
The winner of this match...
The winner is...
Who did the regular panelists vote for?
(Who will go to Round Two?)
Who did they vote for?
The winner is...
It's this masked singer.
(Nutcracker wins.)
It was Nutcracker.
(Nutcracker is like a Christmas gift.)
(Because it was an intense match,)
(they have mixed emotions.)
Nutcracker won with the score of 62 to 37.
More regular panelists voted for Nutcracker.
And he made it to Round Two. Congratulations.
Please go back to your waiting room. Please give it up for them.
(Climbing Grandma's identity will be revealed soon.)
Nutcracker made it to Round Two.
On Round Two, I will show more things. Thank you.
Now, it's time to check the identity of Climbing Grandma.
Her voice stands out,
so many people debated whether or not she's a singer.
We will reveal her identity with a solo performance.
Please give her a big hand.
(Her identity will be revealed now.)
(Is she an idol in charge of...)
(singing the best parts?)
(Is she a golfer...)
(who works abroad?)
(Beatboxing)
(Her specialty let us down.)
(Who is Climbing Grandma?)
("I Ain't Going Home Tonight" by Navi)
It's "I Ain't Going Home Tonight".
("I Ain't Going Home Tonight" by Navi)
I knew she'd sing something like this.
I can't stay seated. I'm so curious.
(She chose a rhythmic song unlike the duet song.)
She sings so well. Goodness, she's so good.
(Her sexy voice is nothing like the shy voice from "Couple".)
(Her seducing gesture looks relaxed.)
(Bewildered)
(Nobody expected to hear this voice from her.)
- She's definitely a singer. - She's so good!
Why didn't we see this before?
(Her voice is too charming to just let it go like this.)
(I ain't going home tonight)
Now, Climbing Grandma, please take off your mask...
and reveal your face!
She is...
She must be really famous!
They sound so excited.
Who is she?
(Who on earth is she?)
She is...
She's a rapper and a producer of the girl group, Exid.
It's LE!
(It's LE from Exid.)
- See? She's an idol singer. - I knew it.
(She was a rapper even.)
It's LE.
See?
(No one has expected it'd be LE.)
(This is unbelievable.)
(Her surprisingly good singing skill has been hidden behind her rap.)
(I ain't going home either.)
(She's irresistibly charming.)
(Dancing)
(Don't leave us.)
(She runs her fingers through her hair.)
(Impressed)
(She changes the atmosphere with her rap.)
(She's so cool.)
(She's got an amazing swag.)
(She sings and raps alone.)
(This performance shows everything LE has.)
(LE's groovy performance was too good to let go.)
(Please don't go home.)
My goodness.
She's not only a good rapper but also a good singer.
She's not supposed to go home.
She's going home too early.
Climbing Grandma's identity has been revealed.
She's famous for Hyun A's rap instructor too.
She's LE from Exid.
Please introduce yourself.
Hello, I'm LE from Exid. Nice to meet you.
Hello.
("Up and Down" was a legendary song of Exid.)
(She's the one who sang the famous part.)
(She has charisma and unique voice.)
(LE is the rapper of Exid.)
(She's not just a rapper who has amazing rapping skills.)
(She's also a skilled musician who can produce music.)
(She composed and wrote the lyrics of every song of Exid.)
(She's recognized to be a skilled artist.)
(She's a promising musician who has great potential.)
(LE is a perfect singer-songwriter.)
We know her as a rapper of Exid.
- But her singing skill was... - She was really good.
Everyone fell in love with her singing.
- You're really good. - Thank you.
To be honest, I haven't sung in front of...
- so many people on the stage. - Yes.
So I was quite nervous.
Our show actually has close ties with Exid.
That's true. I'm the fourth member...
- to be on this show. - You're the fourth.
- There's only one left. - Jeong Hwa is left.
Do the members know that you're on this show today?
Yes, of course.
The members gave me...
a lot of advices on...
which song I should sing.
Is there anyone else who knows you're on this show?
- My mom knows it. - Your mom.
Yes, my mom and I went to a karaoke early in the morning.
We went to a karaoke together.
For two hours, my mom criticized my singing.
She said things like, "Why can't you sing higher notes?"
"You can't be on King of Mask Singer like this."
"Is this your best?"
"I can sing better than you."
("I can sing better than you.")
She gave me honest advices.
Did she agree on singing the songs you sang today?
Yes, she really liked the song I just performed.
- She liked it. - Yes, she did.
I see.
- Ji Hye. - Yes.
She's got a high pitched voice, right?
Well, she did a great job when she sang the best part.
- Her voice can't be forgotten. - Exactly.
She sang the best part very precisely.
Her pronunciation sounds like she's from abroad.
- Even her name is LE. - Yes.
So I assume she has spent a long time living abroad.
I'm from Ssangyong-dong, Cheonan.
She's from Ssangyong-dong, Cheonan.
- She's from Ssangyong-dong. - She is.
- She's from Cheonan. - My goodness.
Key also mentioned the famous "best part".
Could you sing that part a bit?
- The chorus part? - Yes.
Up, down, up, up, down
This is the best part you meant, right?
It turns out that we really had no idea what we were saying.
I told you.
Gu Ra seems to have become quiet now.
He's been insisting that she's a golf player.
Among Exid's songs,
I like "On a Night Like Tonight".
It's "Night Rather Than Day".
- What's wrong with you today? - It's "Night Rather Than Day."
- "Night Rather Than Day." - You might need some rest.
"On a Night Like Tonight" is Park Jeong Un's song.
- How could you say that? - I mean...
I didn't mean that song.
You just searched the song online, didn't you?
No, I didn't. There's a song that has "night" in the title.
- Enough. - "Every Night"?
- Yes! It's "Every Night". - You meant "Every Night"?
Not many people know that song.
I really love "Every Night".
Could you sing the song a bit?
Come on, I can't.
- Please sing for us. - I'm a horrible singer.
But I really like "Every Night".
- It goes like this. - That's right.
- It's that song. - I know the song.
(He somehow sang the song precisely.)
(I was right.)
- That song. - Yes, it's that song.
The song begins with LE's rap,
and I loved it.
I thought she had such an attractive voice.
- Okay. I see. - Yes.
- You're interested in their songs. - This song.
That's very precise.
- It's exactly that song. - "Every Night".
In this show, we discover a lot of great voices like gems.
Among them, her voice is a rare gem.
It's a rare item.
Besides, the gem is incredibly well-crafted.
I'd like her to spread her gemlike voice wide.
Thank you very much.
Her voice is one of the most unique voices.
She has a high-pitched voice.
She's the one who has that high-pitched voice.
It was LE from Exid.
- Please give it up for her. - Thank you.
It was awesome.
(It was awesome.)
With the mask on, I had nothing to fear.
I could understand why the other members told me it's fun.
I heard today that my voice is like a gem...
from the people who have much longer experience than me...
as musicians.
I'm really grateful for the compliment.
To whom do you want to show this episode the most?
It'd be my mom.
I haven't checked my phone yet,
but she must have sent a lot of messages.
("Did they like the song?", "Did it go well?")
I hope she watches the show.
Climbing Grandma...
was me, LE from Exid.
Merry Christmas, everyone.
Nutcracker with Healthy Teeth...
beat LE and moves on to Round Two.
It's the last match of Round One.
Would you marry my song?
I missed my bridal class for this.
Ghost Bride.
(Ghost Bride Missed Her Bridal Class)
I'm the best bride.
Please look forward to my performance.
(Shy)
(It's Ghost Bride.)
Gosh, she's tall.
She's tall.
- She really looks like a ghost. - I'm scared.
Let's meet her opponent.
He will save every penny to become the king.
Great Money Saving Today,
Scrooge.
Everyone. I will show you a great stage.
(Gosh, my back.)
(Please don't hurt your back.)
He's good at acting.
He's acting with all his heart.
(It's so funny.)
(The last stage to light up this Christmas Eve)
(But only one of them can get the spotlight and move on to Round Two.)
(Who will be the one to move on to Round Two?)
("Christmas Eve" by Kim Hyun Chul)
Isn't it your song?
- Gosh. - This is your song.
("Christmas Eve" by Kim Hyun Chul)
This is a legendary song.
(Kim Hyun Chul and Im Sang A's steady seller, "Christmas Eve")
I love this song.
(It's a heartwarming melody on Christmas Eve.)
(His calm voice spreads in the studio.)
(He delicately conveys his feelings.)
(Amazed)
(Her pure voice spreads like the sound of a bell.)
(She clearly and softly sings the melody.)
(This is amazing.)
(They start to make a harmony with their tender voices.)
How beautiful.
(Their beautiful harmony warms your heart.)
Their voices sound familiar.
They really sound familiar.
(I love it.)
Could he be Lim Chang Jung?
(No way.)
(Their harmony sounds like language of love.)
(They fully express their feelings about love.)
(Oh, my.)
(The peaceful melody purifies your heart.)
(The warmth of their emotions softly spreads.)
("Christmas Eve", the song that warmly lighted up this cold winter)
- That was wonderful. - It's a legendary song.
It's such a great song.
It sounds peaceful. It's perfect for Christmas Eve.
The last match of Round One is now over.
"Christmas Eve" is Hyun Chul's song.
I'd like to hear his opinion first.
First of all, thank you for singing my song.
I think Scrooge is probably...
a vocalist who mainly sings rock music.
It's because he uses...
wide vibrato at the end of each measure.
His voice sounded like...
Shin Hae Chul's voice twice as he sang.
That's why I think he's a rock musician.
I see. All right.
Now, I don't think he's a rock musician.
Do you think he's a little too frivolous?
Yes. Rockers aren't frivolous.
I think Ghost Bride is...
a musical actress.
A musical actress?
Normally,
there are pop singers who become musical actors...
and opera singers who become musical actors.
I think she's the latter.
She probably studied vocal music and became a musical actress.
That's what I think.
- I see. - Yes.
Jang Hyuk, you know rock music well.
An amazing thing about Scrooge is that...
he sings so emotionally even though he doesn't sing loudly.
It's very hard to sing like that.
There must be sorrow in his heart.
I don't think he's a rocker.
I think he's a singer who sings sad ballads.
He was the opposite of Ghost Bride...
because he moved...
like this when he sang.
He made gestures like he was pouring out his heart.
On the contrary, Ghost Bride stood diagonally.
It's how opera singers or musical actors look like on stage.
She didn't bend or twist her body when she sang.
- She kept her posture straight. - Yes.
That's why I think she's an opera singer and a musical actress.
Young Seok, do you agree?
Actually, this song is Korea's original carol...
written by Hyun Chul and sung by him and Im Sang A.
("Christmas Eve" is a popular carol written by Hyun Chul.)
Hyun Chul made his part...
really easy to sing,
but the female singer's part has very high notes.
- Really? - My part has high notes too.
Men can easily manage to sing this song,
but it's really difficult for women to sing this song.
She made it look so easy as if she's really a ghost.
Also, even those who aren't familiar with vocal music...
would like her singing.
Someone like her should be a musical actress.
Now, Kai. They think she's a musical actress...
who studied vocal music.
The musical industry...
isn't very big in Korea,
so I know almost every musical actor.
Among the musical actresses who studied vocal music,
I don't think there is anyone who has a voice like that.
- Maybe she was in a church choir. - I thought so too.
Many actors are interested in classical or vocal music.
I think she'd be an actress, not a musical actress.
Kai is often right about things like this.
- As for Scrooge, - Scrooge.
here is what I felt from his singing.
Around Christmas, we can easily see...
shining lights in the dark,
like the Christmas trees.
His singing was similar to that. It's like the light in the dark.
He has a voice like that.
Frankly, I thought...
he was someone who sings ballads or his own songs.
But more importantly, you can feel warmth in his singing.
I see. He really likes expressing himself.
He has a physique like...
- that of Lim Seul Ong. - Lim Seul Ong?
Yes. Someone a bit thinner than him would be...
- Kim Jung Ryul, the comedian. - Kim Jung Ryul?
He actually looks like Jung Ryul a bit.
Yes, Jung Ryul has very thin legs.
The panelists don't think...
he would be...
- a man of great capacity. - You don't think so?
He makes too many little gestures.
That's what we think.
I'm a man of small caliber.
- Right. A man of small caliber? - A man of small caliber?
- He seems to be a bit shallow. - That's right.
I think he's someone you know.
Why do I feel like every masked singer is someone I know?
Is it just you who think so?
- I guess. - Then it's probably wrong.
No, wait.
- When you make a guess, - You've never been right.
- at least two people should agree. - But when he was singing,
- he sounded like that person. - Who is it?
He debuted as an idol group singer.
- But now, is he a solo artist? - Yes.
He is my senior singer with the initial of P.
- "P"? - "P"?
I watched his group singing a lot...
while I was being trained to make a debut.
Isn't he too thin to be Mr. P?
Mr. P is thin.
- He is? - P...
- So you think he is Mr. P. - I'm so curious.
Now,
I'll let you hear Ghost Bride's real voice.
She plotted a skit with a voice imitation.
The title of the skit is "The People Yang Hee Eun Met".
I wonder who she met.
Ms. Yang Hee Eun?
Hello. I'm Yang Hee Eun.
What is your name?
(Lee So Ra was passing by, and comes to her.)
(I will say it to you)
It's Lee So Ra.
(My name is So Ra)
(Amazing)
Okay. I see.
Then what is your name?
Hello. I'm Choi Hong Man.
Nice to see you.
This is it.
(Good job.)
Hee Eun met So Ra and Hong Man.
It's a great skit.
She plotted it herself.
Now, it's time to see Scrooge's specialty.
He says the power of his toes are amazing.
Is he going to pinch somebody?
Yes. If he pinches someone with his toes, it hurts a lot.
Is he pinching you then?
- Does it have to be me? - Seong Ju is right there.
Shall I call it a grasping power?
- Grasping power. - Those people have...
huge big toes.
- Really? - They do.
- His big toes are huge. - Sure.
- That's why he can pinch. - Look at his big toes.
- Gosh. The big toes... - Are you pinching Seong Ju?
If we face each other, it'll be a little awkward,
- so I'll let him turn around. - Okay.
That sounds good. He is an expert.
- I'll pinch his thighs. - My thighs?
- Pinch both of them. - Both of them?
(His toes are like two claws.)
He'll pinch them at the same time.
- His feet look like fists. - All right.
Look at that.
(It'll be over soon.)
(Screaming)
(It feels like an electric shock.)
(They are so delighted.)
- Gosh. He is mean. - Does it really hurt?
It does.
- You're not lying, are you? - Aren't you just pretending?
Scrooge's pinch was...
just the beginning.
He can jump rope...
with his toes folded.
(He can jump rope with his toes folded.)
I'm not sure if the mat is thick enough.
He's relaxing his toes.
His toes are exceptionally long.
Try to remember a celebrity who has toes like his.
- He has unique skills. - He'll jump rope with his toes.
Please don't break your toes.
Don't go over the line.
(It's as if he is making fists with his feet. Don't try this at home.)
I think there are only a few who can do this.
Here we go.
Scrooge.
1, 2, 3, 4,
- 5, 6. Stop. You can stop now. - Gosh.
No. It'll hurt.
(He could go around the world at this rate.)
- It'll hurt. That's enough. - You can stop it now.
That was enough. You may get hurt.
(How can he do that?)
It may hurt you. Are you okay?
Are you okay?
- I'm okay. - You are.
It was a specialty you can't see easily.
That was so impactful.
That was his specialty.
Mr. P has that kind of specialty?
I just listened to him singing.
- I don't know if he can do that. - Gosh. This is hard.
There aren't a lot of people who can do this.
Can you think of anyone, John Park?
After watching him do that, I can't think at all.
He may not be a professional singer.
- Who? - Him.
- He has an amazing skill. - Well,
I'm sure both of them are singers.
You are.
Please let me stay shocked for a moment.
All right.
Who will be the last one...
to move on to Round Two?
Let me reveal the result of the last match in Round One.
Ghost Bride and Scrooge made a beautiful harmony...
like snowflakes in the winter night.
Which of the two touched the panelists and the audience more?
The result will be revealed now.
(The result will be revealed now.)
(The cold winter felt so warm...)
(thanks to the harmony of the two.)
(Ghost Bride, a classical vocalist with a beautiful voice)
(Scrooge with a delicate voice that resonates softly)
Between the two masked singers,
who is the last lucky contestant to move on to Round Two?
The winner is...
- The winner is... - The winner is...
Who is the winner?
The one who will move on to Round Two is...
The winner is...
Ghost Bride.
(She has to miss the bridal class again.)
(You may move on to Round Two.)
(They're sad to say goodbye to Scrooge.)
She beat Scrooge with the score of 64 to 35.
She is the only female vocalist...
who moved on to Round Two today.
Please move to your waiting room.
Please give her a round of applause.
(Scrooge's face will be revealed soon.)
Ghost Bride moves on to Round Two.
In Round Two, I'll sing a lonely yet beautiful song.
See you later.
He has such a unique specialty.
Who is Scrooge?
Please give him a big hand.
(His face will be revealed while he's singing his solo.)
(Is he a rocker...)
(or a ballad singer? Experts had different opinions.)
(He doesn't seem to be a big shot.)
(He is too frivolous.)
(But he turned out to be a big shot with his amazing specialties.)
(Who is Scrooge?)
("Live a Long Long Time" by Lee Seung Hwan)
He prepared a strong weapon for Round Two.
(His sorrowful voice has deepened even more.)
(His voice is full of sad emotions.)
(I might have lost the love of my life.)
(He exudes his sad feelings.)
I think he really is a rocker.
(He portrays his emotions delicately.)
(His sorrowful voice deeply touches people's hearts.)
Now,
Scrooge, please take off your mask,
and reveal your face.
(Why are they reacting like that?)
They're so excited.
Please take off your mask, and reveal your face.
This is...
Park Jung Min who used to be a member of SS501.
I was right.
- I was right. - You were right.
(Gosh. Seriously?)
(No one noticed his identity except Key.)
(It's been a while to see Park Jung Min.)
(He fills the stage alone without the other members today.)
(My goodness.)
(Jung Min's sad voice sounds even more touching now.)
He's good.
(A sorrowful shout towards the person who left him)
(He sings with all his heart.)
(He depicted the longing heart through "Live a Long Long Time".)
(His rock ballad made their hearts ache.)
(He's a rocker.)
What a rocker.
He's good.
Goodness.
(I got it right.)
Please say hello to the viewers.
Hello, long time no see.
I'm Park Jung Min of SS501. Nice to meet you.
(He debuted as a member of SS501 in 2005.)
(He sang with his attractive baritone voice in the group.)
(Netizen's Award)
(With stable singing abilities and handsome looks,)
(the group became the trendy idol.)
(Then he started his career as a solo artist with his own color.)
(He succeeded in becoming the global star.)
(He challenged himself to act as well.)
(He was acknowledged as a promising musical actor...)
(by showing his energetic performances in the musical field.)
(He constantly challenges himself regardless of genre.)
(He's the versatile energizer, Park Jung Min.)
It's his first stage after his military service.
Also, I heard it had been five years...
since you last appeared on Korean TV.
Right, it's been a while since I last showed myself to the public.
I thought it'd be nice to make my comeback with music.
That's why I decided to appear on this show.
I see.
How do you feel to perform after a long time?
When I was a member of the idol group,
I had to look good on TV,
so I cared so much about my face expressions and dance moves...
that it was hard to focus on singing.
But with the mask on,
I was able to express what I wanted. It was great.
I guess it was the first time for a masked singer to show...
his specialty with his toes.
I had done it once about 10 years ago,
and it was my first time ever since then.
- And it's Christmas Eve. - I know.
A lot of them were surprised.
Key predicted it'd be an idol group member whose name starts with "P".
Did you guess it was him?
Yes, it was.
(Grateful)
When SS501 and TVXQ were active on their careers,
we referred to them...
and learned from their performances.
I watched a lot of their live performances too.
So I remember his voice.
He does this often when he sings.
(He's right.)
(He often puts his hand on his chest when he sings.)
(He had the same gesture today.)
(Key recognized his identity.)
I became sure when I saw his gesture.
I see.
But he was confused...
when he saw your specialty.
I've never seen such a thing.
- But you were sure it was him. - Right.
You were sure it was him, but you got confused...
- when you saw his specialty. - It was too frivolous.
- I thought I was wrong. - I see.
(Laughing)
I heard...
you continued your career outside of Korea.
Right, surprisingly,
people in Japan and Malaysia have given me love and support.
So I tried hard to spread K-pop...
- in my circumstances. - I see.
Just the fact that you have a voice...
that moves people's hearts,
is a huge blessing.
You finished your military service,
so I hope you release albums and do other activities...
- from now on. - Thank you.
I usually like things to be exciting.
And I've gained strength to sing from this show.
So I'll keep working hard and release new albums.
In my opinion, your toe specialty...
will act as a starting point of your career in variety shows.
It's such a rare specialty.
- It's rare. - Right.
I'll try to make something out of it.
Looking forward to seeing his future activities,
let's give him another round applause...
for his successful comeback stage after five years.
(We hope to see you more often.)
Thank you.
(He leaves the stage lightheartedly.)
Thank you.
I lost too early. It's been a long time.
It felt like performing on a music show as a rookie.
I used to do it in the morning.
Maybe I shouldn't have shown off my specialty.
(Regretful)
It might be shocking for children.
I'm a bit worried,
but it's still fun to watch.
I hope...
they enjoy it.
I'll be happy if they don't search me and my toes on the internet.
(Please don't do that.)
I'll work hard in Korea from now on.
Please look forward to it.
I hope you have a warm holiday. Merry Christmas.
(Merry Christmas.)
(Next week)
(It's the last night of 2017.)
(Is it going to be the last night for me too?)
(The masked queen faces a destiny.)
(It's like a long periodic novel.)
(It's something shocking enough to surpass the history.)
(The masked queen isn't safe.)
(It's the hardest of all.)
(Gu Ra gives up on researching.)
(Whatever. Let's just have fun.)
(Bring it on.)
(It's a festival that unites everyone together.)
(The last masked king of 2017...)
(will be revealed next week.)
