Coming up.
(Winner of the three-way battle...)
(is the Female Warrior Catgirl.)
The 18th King of Mask Singer is...
Catgirl is reborn as the 19th King of Mask Singer.
(She has become the King of Mask Singer three times in a row.)
I will not go down easily.
Female Warrior Catgirl is going for...
her fourth winning streak.
But the semifinalists are...
very tough as well.
The great singer, Unexpected Fortune.
Full of soul, the Dragon King of the Sea.
Chick magnet, Pretty Boy Snow Man.
The man of husky voice, Unbeatable Shield Kite.
According to the preliminary vote for the 20th King of Mask Singer,
voted by the netizens,
Catgirl takes the first place...
with an exceeding number of votes.
Followed by the Dragon King of the Sea taking second place.
It'll be hard for Catgirl to secure four consecutive wins.
Surely, the King of Mask Singer is different.
Her singing is so much enjoyable.
Who will be the first King of Mask Singer of the year?
Let's find out.
(King of Mask Singer)
Even in this new year of 2016,
our fight against stereotypes goes on.
As a meaning of wishing for...
more happiness,
shall we have a New Year Greeting? One, two, three...
- Happy New Year! - Happy New Year!
Great.
I hope that you'll be healthy,
and that all your work will succeed.
Gu Ra, say some words of blessing if you would.
I always say this but, be happy and...
don't be a subject of gossip.
And I hope that you'll have lots of good things this year.
I think having a calm mind is most important.
Yes, now we will begin the first match...
of Round Two of the Semi-finals.
(First match of Round Two)
The first match of Round Two.
She defeated Jo Hye Ryun who is a comedienne.
She is the Unexpected Fortune.
(Here comes the fortune.)
(Let's all receive some of that fortune.)
She sang well.
She was good.
(Everyone thinks that she is a great singer.)
(Both emotions and singing skills worked perfectly in harmony.)
I can't imagine her being anything else other than a singer.
I could see that in her singing.
(Compared to her singing, her dancing was a bit...)
(but we could still see that she was a veteran.)
I think she is in her mid to late 30s.
- Mid to late 30s? - Yes.
(It's such an honour to be able to hear her singing once again.)
(Nervous)
("I Won't Love" by Baek Z Young)
(The song is calm just like her fashion.)
What a soft voice.
She's just too good.
(It's perfect in every way.)
She's got the basics.
(Tell her I liked it.)
(Fortune's unique feel is different from the original song.)
(Wow!)
(Her chilling ad-lib!)
(Fortune has the ability to captivate people with her singing.)
Bravo!
(You can feel her mastery in every single note.)
Bravo!
(You can feel her mastery in every single note.)
(A true masterpiece ballad that shines till the last breath)
(The first Fortune of the year!)
- The atmosphere has changed. - She's better than last year.
She must have practised hard for a year.
He's going against her. He beat Apink's Nam Joo.
Tell them I will be the King of Mask Singer today!
Tell them I am the Dragon King of the Sea!
(Tell them I am the Dragon King of the Sea.)
(He slowly walks in, rubbing on his stomach.)
(He looks like the uncle living next door, but he's still cool!)
(Elegant swag of the Dragon King)
Earlier, he did all these gestures really well.
The gestures that male idol singers make.
I think he's an idol singer.
(The song was bubbly unlike their costumes.)
(They showed a perfect harmony.)
Tell them I am the Dragon King of the Sea
His behaviours make him seem like he's in his 40s.
But his singing makes him seem like a teenager.
(But his dance moves were something special.)
Oh! Who could it be?
- BTS... - BTS?
- He must be Jung Kook. - Jung Kook?
- Isn't he Hyun Seung from Beast? - Hyun Seung?
(His identity is completely veiled like the deep ocean.)
(Please step out of your underwater palace now!)
("Moon of Seoul" by Kim Gun Mo)
It's a song I really like!
(He grabs attention from the beginning.)
Wow!
(He gets a strong response even before singing a few bars.)
(Jamming to rhythm)
(Wow)
(He knows how to excite his audience.)
(You're the best!)
(House band)
(Fancy ad-libs, as if he doesn't want to waste the interlude.)
(As the Dragon King bestows ad-libs upon us,)
(we will open our ears and listen.)
Aren't those an athlete's arms?
He must be working out.
(I can't even see him well.)
(Right then, his arm slips out.)
(No, he's not an athlete.)
(It doesn't matter whether he's an athlete or not!)
(His vocal cords are this well-trained!)
(He's got to be an idol singer.)
(The Dragon King constantly moves his body whilst singing.)
(I will move my body as well.)
(The Dragon King has fully enjoyed himself.)
(The Dragon King's outing is a great success!)
- Oh! - Yes!
What a great feeling!
Wow, he's so good.
- He's almost like Stevie Wonder. - Wow!
It was the Round Two of semi-finals.
The first group's match is now over.
The first match was between...
classic ballad and jazz blues.
Ladies and gentlemen, please press your button for...
the masked singer who touched your heart!
Who will be the first singer...
to advance to the Final Round?
All votes are in.
Young Seok, has anything changed from Round One?
I always expect things to change.
And they always fulfil and exceed my expectations.
To describe Fortune in one sentence,
she has shown us the quintessence of the 80s and 90s ballad music.
And after the 90s,
a lot of things get added to the ballad genre,
like soul and R&B.
But she has shown us the standard for ballad...
as we know it. I don't know who she is, though.
Now moving on to Dragon King, I think he's a great singer.
Seeing from how he used falsetto for all high notes,
and how he seemed to get tired in the second verse,
I think I would guess that...
he is an outstanding singer-songwriter,
who isn't too old.
How old do you think he is?
Around 38 years old.
- In his late 30s? - Yes.
- Cho Jang Hyuk. - Yes?
You said "bravo" a lot during the performance.
Bravo. Bravo.
To whom did you shout "bravo" more?
I shouted "bravo" more to Fortune.
Last week, we had all guessed that...
Dragon King would be an idol singer.
(Rhythmic beat)
For him, it was a "bravo" that...
an idol singer could sing along...
to such a groovy rhythm.
- Eric Nam. Among these two... - Yes?
Is there an idol singer?
I think Dragon King is an idol singer.
- You think he is an idol singer? - Yes.
He seemed to be very natural moving about the stage,
and a lot of his gestures were very hip hop-like.
Seeing that, I thought he must be from...
a group that does hip hop, maybe from Monsta X.
I believe the vocal of the group is Ki Hyun.
- Ki Hyun from Monsta X? - Yes.
(A new idol group debuted in May 2015)
(Monsta X's main vocal Ki Hyun?)
- Ki Hyun? - Yes.
And I noticed that he pronounced "S" sound very shortly.
So I was thinking about that,
and earlier when I was on a show with Ki Hyun,
I think his pronunciation was like that, too.
- Seong Ju. - Yes.
Actually, the song that Fortune sang,
was Baek Z Young's comeback song.
For this song, of course you need the singing ability,
but you also have to be able to express the delicate emotions.
And I noticed that Fortune...
was able to express the delicate emotions as well.
So I assume she also went through sorrowful times.
So, in my opinion,
I think she is a singer coming from...
an audition programme or a contest.
In an audition, it's always either you survive or go home.
Last week, in Round One,
she showed no consideration for Jo Hye Ryun.
- Jo Hye Ryun got only four votes. - Yes, it was 95 to 4.
It could have been heartwarming at the end of the year.
But she intended to beat Hye Ryun completely.
I see.
- She took advantage of it. - She did.
I think she made her debut in an audition programme.
Many people would know her songs...
but she may not be well known.
I think she'd be good at singing other singers' songs.
That's what I felt.
She'd be good at singing other singers' songs.
Sure enough, she said her specialty is singing other singers' songs.
I told you so.
I almost got goosebumps...
- because of Kim Gu Ra. - Did you steal the script today?
She will mimic others' singing with her voice.
Park Ji Yoon, Park Jung Hyun and Jaurim.
She can mimic their voices. It means that...
- she's got very sensitive ears. - I see.
Let's hear Park Ji Yoon first.
(Humming)
(She already sounds like Park Ji Yoon.)
(Hey, what are you waiting for?)
(She's good.)
(Suddenly it sounds like a traditional Korean song.)
- Okay. - Is she Hyun Sook?
Wait.
(She sings using her nasal voice.)
(Is she using the same nose?)
Apparently, it was Park Ji Yoon.
She will mimic Park Jung Hyun this time.
I was
around him today
(She doesn't sound the initial consonant.)
You looked good today
She's got more to show you.
This must be difficult.
It is a bit different from what she showed.
It's Jaurim.
Hey Hey Hey
The blue skies are
filled with sunshine
(Her voice is very similar to the original singer!)
She sounded very similar, didn't she?
She is very good at mimicking other singers' voices.
And it says the Dragon King of the Sea's specialty is...
martial arts on the script.
What kind of martial arts can you do?
Northern Praying Mantis.
- Northern Praying Mantis? - It's Mantis Boxing.
It's Mantis Boxing.
(It is a martial art taken from a mantis catching prey.)
Let's watch the Northern Praying Mantis of the Dragon King,
also known as Mantis Boxing.
Please give him a big hand.
(Become a mantis!)
(Jabbing)
(Punching)
(He looks like a hungry mantis.)
- He does it like a mantis. - He's good at it.
(He discovers his prey.)
A battle of instinct is a battle to survive.
(Like a mantis capturing a dragonfly,)
He's good.
(he keeps poking Seong Ju.)
- He's good. - I know.
Wow. Look at his posture.
It was amazing.
Did you see that?
It is the specialty of the Dragon King of the Sea.
Seong Ju. Since they are wearing Hanbok and it is the new year,
let's have them make a deep bow so that we can guess their age.
- A deep bow? - Yes.
If they sit cross-legged on the floor...
and stand up without touching the ground, they may be in their 20s.
If it looks a bit hard, they may be in their 30s.
If they touch the ground, it means they are older than that.
We can measure their metabolic age with this.
- Sit cross-legged first? - Yes.
Sit cross-legged please.
- She's going for it. - Yes.
- She is competitive. - Hang on.
So you mean...
- we can guess their metabolic age. - Yes. It's hard to guess...
Seong Ju, I think you need to give a demonstration first.
- I should sit then. - Sit.
If you touch the ground,
- it means you are old. - Okay.
Now you should stand up.
How can he stand up?
(Kim Seong Ju is 45. What would his metabolic age be?)
- Do I just stand up? - Yes, stand up.
Yes.
(He can't even stand up.)
Oh, no.
(Thump)
Oh, no.
- You should stand up. - How can I stand up?
(It's a body of a father who has three children.)
(Shocked)
Stand up.
Wow. What about Lee Hyun?
You should stand up like he did.
(Even Bong Sun can stand up from it.)
In fact,
- Don't try to make us laugh. - Try it, Eric.
- You can do this. - How can I stand up?
(Do you remember the Racing Driver Dance of 20 years ago?)
(Seong Ju looks like as if he's dancing the moves.)
They may be in their 40s,
- but their bodies could be... - What are you doing?
Why are you trying to be funny?
He is in his 50s in terms of the metabolic age.
Gu Ra, you should try it.
Gu Ra, you should try.
Try it!
You were harsh on me.
Seong Ju, you just tried to be funny.
No way.
You were strange.
(He can't stand up.)
- Oh, no. - I knew it.
(Gu Ra is Hee Joon's best friend.)
- Oh, no. - I knew it.
- You were even funnier. - What was that?
- Why are you trying to be funny? - I'm sorry.
I'm a comedian.
- Was it slapstick comedy? - He just couldn't do it.
It is not easy.
Okay, then. Make a deep bow first.
Let's check if they have a flexible body.
Make a deep bow.
(They make a deep bow.)
They are amazing.
Wow, she's very flexible.
The Dragon King of the Sea also has got a flexible back.
- Good. - They're trying to look younger.
They made a deep vow.
Now it is time to stand up.
Stand up without touching the ground.
- Fortune! - Wow.
The Dragon King of the Sea!
Wow, they are...
amazing.
(Even the Grand Award winner...)
(and High Excellence Award winner couldn't do it.)
(But their will...)
(made them stand up!)
(They must be in their 20s!)
- Fortune! - Wow.
The Dragon King of the Sea!
Wow, they are...
amazing.
But Fortune got...
very competitive enough to take off her shoes...
as we suggested to check her age.
- It means she's old. - And she looked...
very glad as she managed to stand up.
- She must be in her 40s. - She is old.
- She is in her 40s. - Yes.
- She was glad. - Yes. She is in her 40s.
- I think so. - That makes sense.
Okay then. Let's move on.
It was the first match of 2016.
Who will be the winner?
It seems the audience had a hard time making a decision.
I just got the result.
The margin of their votes is...
only three votes.
(Jaw-dropping)
Only three votes.
(It is nip and tuck.)
Who will be the first one to go into Round Three?
I will announce the result.
(Who will be the first winner of 2016?)
(She's got the perfect singing ability!)
(Fortune showed the quintessence of ballad.)
(The Dragon King of the Sea knows how to play on the stage.)
(He's got the amazing groove.)
The first masked singer who goes into Round Three.
The winner won by the margin of three votes.
The winner is...
Who is the winner?
Fortune will be the winner. It is the new year.
- Fortune! - The Dragon King of the Sea!
- The Dragon King of the Sea! - Fortune!
(Apparently, their opinions are divided.)
(Who will be the first winner of 2016?)
Please watch...
who the winner is.
The winner is...
Fortune!
Wow!
Fortune! Fortune!
She won the match by the margin of three votes.
(It was 51 to 48.)
It was so close.
(Fortune is the first one who goes into the final round.)
Last week, she beat Jo Hye Ryun...
and it was 95 to 4.
Yes!
Wow!
(Good luck to you!)
Then who is the Dragon King of the Sea?
He will reveal his identity.
The Dragon King of the Sea, please take off your mask...
and show us your face!
- He's a member of BTS. - BTS!
I think he is Jung Kook.
I think he is Jang Hyun Seung of Beast.
He is the vocalist of Monsta X, Ki Hyun.
Monsta X?
Who is it?
He is...
Who is he?
He is...
(He's about to astonish the world.)
Who is he?
He is...
Ki Hyun from an idol group Monsta X.
(What?)
(Shouting)
I told you!
He was right.
(Eric Nam did a good job guessing the masked singer.)
He was right!
(Dazed)
Ki Hyun!
He is Ki Hyun of Monsta X. He is the Dragon King of the Sea.
(His face may not be familiar, but you'd know his voice already.)
(He's sung many original soundtracks of popular dramas before his debut.)
(He is an up-and-coming vocalist.)
(He even has an experience of topping a music chart.)
(In May 2015, he made his debut as a 7-member group Monsta X.)
(They are armed with powerful performances and hip hop music.)
(Ki Hyun is a hopeful vocalist of Monsta X.)
I heard you wanted to say something to Kim Gu Ra today.
- Really? - When Dae Hyun of B.A.P came here,
- Yes. - Gu Ra said that...
"There are some idol groups...
like BTS or Monsta something in that category."
He said that.
I didn't say "category", though.
People know the groups, but...
don't know the names of each member.
There are groups like B.A.P, BTS and Monster something.
- You know those groups. - Is that okay for you to say?
You know those groups.
I don't want to see you criticised by people again.
I don't want to see you criticised.
I wanted to tell him that the name of my group is Monsta X.
So, you didn't mind him saying "those groups".
- It's not "Monster". - It's Monsta X.
I understand that Monsta X...
- is a hip hop group. - That's right.
Ki Hyun, you don't specialise in hip hop music, do you?
I like rock. I like rock ballad.
I love songs with explosive guitar sound.
Oh, I see. I guess you're thirsty for other genres of music.
That's why I am here.
I had a lot of thirst.
Hyun Cheol, how did you like his performance?
First of all, to make a clear sound,
every nasal organ making a sound needs to be open.
I see that his are widely open.
He easily hits the notes and sings.
I'm very jealous of singers like him.
I can tell that he is a newly debuted singer.
When he got a good comment, he stood with full of confidence.
But when getting a bad comment, he looked discouraged immediately.
- He is a newly debuted singer. - That's right.
He made us look forward to seeing his future performances.
Give Ki Hyun of Monsta X a round of applause.
- Thank you. - You did a good job.
(We hope he continues to show his charms.)
(A polite bow)
(Good luck!)
(Walking lightly)
(He suddenly bows.)
(He bows politely even behind the stage.)
That was fun.
That must be why singers keep coming to this show.
Now I feel attached to this character of the Dragon King.
You did a good job.
I was worried because I just made my debut.
I thought the audience wouldn't know Monsta X.
I was certain that they wouldn't know me, either.
But when I took off the mask, some people recognised me.
I got goosebumps.
I couldn't show my happiness because I was wearing this mask.
(Thinking about the moment makes him happy again.)
I felt like I was flying.
But I tried to conceal my emotions and act like a king.
Monsta X and I will do our best.
I would appreciate it if you remember me and my group.
I will work hard. Cheers!
(He ends the interview with an awkward gesture.)
In the first match of Round Two,
Unexpected Fortune beats Ki Hyun and moves on to Round Three.
Now the second match of Round Two of Semi-finals begins.
This is the second match of Round Two of Semi-finals.
This is a winter story...
of the Snow Man who beat Lee Pil Mo.
Pretty Boy Snow Man!
(It's snowing.)
(Scream!)
(He already feels like the King of Mask Singer!)
He knows what to do on the stage.
Yes, exactly.
How cute.
(It feels like a musical performance.)
If he is not a singer,
many agencies must have begged him to work with them.
This is a story of a girl who never cries despite sadness or loneliness.
Only a comedian can do something like that.
I think he is a comedian who can sing really well.
(Nothing has been revealed about this mysterious Snow Man.)
(What clues will his second performance give?)
("Love Me Once Again" by Vibe)
(He is awesome!)
(His voice sounds different from Round One.)
(It is full of R&B soul.)
(Wow!)
(His sweet voice surprises everyone.)
(They give him a round of applause.)
He sings so well.
He is such a good singer. He sounds exactly like Vibe.
Wow!
I support you.
He sings so well. His song did touch my heart.
(He is the best!)
He has a nice voice.
(He conveys controlled emotions through his performance.)
(The panel forgets to find out who he is and enjoys his singing.)
If he is a comedian,
he should debut as a singer.
I think he is a singer.
(His sentimental stage made every panelist his fan.)
(Snow Man is the best!)
He knows how to sing with his heart.
I thought he was just a funny man,
but he knows how to touch people's hearts.
He is running.
Opposing him...
is a masked singer...
with an unbreakable voice who beat Lim Baek Chun.
Unbeatable Shield Kite!
(He makes a grand entrance with a shield kite.)
(His confidence moves women's hearts.)
He must be feeling pressured.
I'm curious about him, too.
Doesn't he remind you of Lee Seung Gi?
Why would Lee Seung Gi visit this show?
(Embarrassed)
(His performance of Round One made the entire audience dance.)
(His powerful voice comes through the instruments.)
- He is wearing his own clothes. - That's a Pagoda Theatre fashion.
And his singing style was popular back then.
- I think he is Lee Kyu Seok. - He is Kang Woo Jin of "Love".
(Singers from past generation are watching him carefully.)
(Can this stage provide a hint?)
("I Can't" by 4MEN)
My goodness.
(He touches people's hearts from the start.)
(His sentimental voice comes deep down.)
(As the song progresses,)
(his emotion makes the audience want to listen more.)
Wow, he's great.
(The panelists were lost for words.)
Who is this guy? Why is he so good?
(Thumbs up!)
(He is going to impress the audience again.)
(He sings the high notes in a thick voice.)
(His vocalisation is unique.)
(Everybody holds their breath for the climax.)
Wow! Great!
Wow!
(He stood up to give him a big hand.)
He was magnificent.
(He showed deep and strong emotions endlessly.)
(His performance was like a volcano.)
(Cheering)
Wow.
- He's a good singer. - Great!
- He's such a good singer. - Who on earth is he?
The second match...
of Round Two is finished.
It might not be easy to choose.
The competition between these two male singers...
with different voices and charms will be intense.
Who will get more votes?
All votes are in.
Gu Ra, how did you feel?
As we enter the Round Two,
- one of them stands out more. - I see.
One of the New Year's customs is...
- to fly a kite. - You're right.
In my opinion, Shield Kite is...
flying a kite to Catgirl.
He's sending a message to her that he'll come to get her soon.
(Was his song a warning?)
As listening to his voice,
Cho Jang Hyuk's reaction said everything.
He is one of the best singers in Korea...
- who uses the same vocal method. - Yes.
Jang Hyuk was stunned by his singing and said...
"That's it." That said everything.
(After listening to the intro of the song,)
(his eyes were shaking.)
(He's great!)
(He gave the singer wild cheers.)
We don't need to give him any more comments.
Snow Man is already melting and disappearing.
- That's your personal opinion. - Yes.
Well, he sang the song of Yoon Min Soo.
When you sing Yoon Min Soo's song,
you have to make ad-libs to sing his song.
But he didn't show that at the end of the song.
His voice is sweet but I don't think he's a singer.
He is wrong.
Snow Man is a singer, a real singer.
I've always been thinking that...
I want to marry a man like him.
However, Shield Kite appeared in front of me.
He is such a bad guy. If I marry him,
- he would give me a hard time. - I see.
But I'm still attracted to the guy...
imagining myself packing...
a lunch box for him with that checkered shirt.
- You can't help it. - No.
I would make a three-level lunch box for him.
- To chase him, right? - Yes.
Young Seok looked at him...
with limpid eyes.
I really envy Snow Man's voice.
He has a voice...
which makes even a man jealous.
So women must have fallen for his voice.
Without shouting and bellowing out,
- his singing was still great. - Yes.
His amateurism...
made his voice sound even purer.
- Who do you think will win? - Pardon?
Who do you think will win?
I think Shield Kite will win.
(He thinks Shield Kite will win.)
- My goodness. - But he prefers Snow Man.
- I want to listen again. - I know.
How did you feel, Star?
I was fascinated by the voice tone of Snow Man.
It is mellow, sweet...
and warm. His voice gives us warmth in this cold season.
His gestures and movements...
looked cute and adorable.
So I tried hard to figure out who he would be.
- So? - He was on Infinite Challenge...
- as a composer of Park Myung Soo. - You mean UL?
He is UL and known as a composer for Park Myung Soo.
(He is popular for his cuteness.)
Please give UL a big hand.
(He has a sweet voice tone.)
- He recently released an album. - He has a nice voice.
- He dreamed of becoming a singer. - The audience is unsettled.
I know for sure who Shield Kite is.
- So I'd better not tell who he is. - Really?
Do you know who he is for sure?
- This man... - Yes.
will be competing against Catgirl...
in the Final Match.
- Do you think he is that good? - He's amazing.
Lee Hyun is smiling. What does that mean?
I think I know who Shield Kite is.
Before I made a debut, I used to work as a chorus singer.
I remember he was the first singer that I sang the chorus for.
- Do you remember him? - Yes.
He looks awkward.
It seems he doesn't know how to respond.
- He is always awkward on TV shows. - As soon as we heard his voice,
- Lee Hyun and I knew at once. - We looked at each other.
- We are sure. - You two exchanged consensus.
Jang Hyuk and Hyun Cheol seem to have a consensus, too.
I usually enjoy listening to his songs.
And some of his songs were sung on King of Mask Singer.
I want to listen more.
For those who haven't gotten a clue,
we'll give you a crucial hint.
They will mimic some of the singers.
Shield Kite is going to impersonate...
Zion.T.
(Why are they surprised?)
(Zion.T has a unique voice that is hard to impersonate.)
Please show us.
(Can he really do it?)
I was always alone at home
My dad was a taxi driver
Amazing.
Shield Kite did impersonation of Zion.T.
This time, Snow Man will show you...
impersonations of...
Hongdukkae and the Inspector Gadget.
Please show us.
I'm Hongdukkae.
Where is Hani?
(It's exactly the same.)
I could have stopped it.
Come out. Gadget arm!
Yes, I can see he's talented.
Gu Ra guessed in Round One...
that he was a comedian.
I still think he's a comedian.
He wouldn't have done such impersonations,
if he were a singer.
Why would he do that? It's better to impersonate a singer.
"Come out. Gadget arm!"
- A singer doesn't have to do this. - You're good.
Gu Ra, you're good.
My comedian colleagues did such impersonations a lot.
I know this by experience.
Only comedians can think of doing such things.
- I don't agree with you. - Singers would never do that.
- You're applying a stereotype. - Now Jang Hyuk...
- They are discussing. - He will say who he thinks...
the Snow Man is. Who do you think he is?
"No, no, I'm not..."
Is he impersonating somebody?
A comedian says "I'm starving."
- Then, the grim reaper appears. - Yes.
He comes in and says, "No, no. I'm not..."
He is Kim Tae Won.
- His name is Kim Tae Won. - The comedian Kim Tae Won.
I feel so dizzy.
(Comedian Kim Tae Won who says "I feel so dizzy" all the time.)
No, no. I'm not dizzy.
- He plays an old man. - "No, no. I'm not..."
Lee Hyun says he is close to Kim Tae Won.
Kim Tae Won has been my friend for over a decade.
- Do you know him well? - Yes.
I'm actually confused. He sounded very different...
in Round One and Two.
If he were a comedian, it wouldn't be easy to show different...
- styles of performance. - Are you looking down on comedians?
- That could be his stereotype. - I'm speechless.
(He is joking.)
Some of you think he is a comedian who is good at singing.
Or he could be a singer who is funny. Your opinions are divided.
He sings too well to be a comedian.
So he should become a singer. He has to quit being a comedian.
If he is not a singer,
he must be working at least in the music industry.
He could be the composer, Shinsadong Tiger.
- You guess he is Shinsadong Tiger. - Yes.
- Or he could be Brave Brothers. - I see.
The Brave Brothers is not a good singer.
Well, one of them must be good as they are brothers.
(Brave Brothers is actually one person.)
We will stop guessing now.
I will now tell you the winner of the second match of Round Two.
The unpredictable result will now be...
revealed!
(With the voice that melts a woman's heart,)
(will it be Snow Man who controls his emotion?)
(His emotions burst out like lava!)
(Is it Shield Kite who maintains a thick and high voice?)
The winner who will be winning...
this match and go to Round Three...
is...
It's a match between two men.
It is!
(Drumroll)
This is hard to choose.
(Who will go to Round Three?)
The winner of this match is...
Shield Kite!
That's it.
(Disappointed)
(Happy)
(A round of applause for both competitors.)
You did good as well Snow Man.
Shield Kite has defeated...
Pretty Boy Snow Man.
The score was 70 to 29.
The Shield Kite won by a big gap.
Let's congratulate him.
(The identity of Snow Man will be revealed soon.)
(Panting)
My goodness.
Now I have one round left, right?
I'll do my best.
We will now see who is...
behind the mask of Snow Man.
The panel is unsettled once again.
The people who said that he can't be a singer...
are worried that he might actually be a singer.
- I see. - He's a singer.
Should we reveal who he is?
Yes?
Okay. Wait a moment.
What's wrong?
Oh, come on.
My pants are falling down.
I'm wearing them like a gangster.
The baggy trousers?
Well, this has got to be the first time I'm doing this.
Gosh, they really fell down.
- Is this okay? - Yes, thank you so much.
He is sweating a lot right now.
- Let's reveal him quickly. - It must be hot.
Snow Man, please take off your...
mask and reveal yourself.
He could be a composer such as...
Shinsadong Tiger or...
Brave Brothers.
- He might be the composer, UL. - UL?
I really think he's a singer.
There's no way he's a singer.
I don't think he is a singer.
The owner of a soothing voice.
Who could this...
(The audience is cheering.)
- person be. - Isn't he a comedian?
Who is it?
Who are you?
The Snow Man is...
- Hello, I'm Kim Tae Won. - He is comedian Kim Tae Won.
Oh, really?
(It is him.)
Oh, Kim Tae Won.
How could he make such voice?
He was that good of a singer?
Yes. Kim Tae Won from KBS...
was the Snow Man.
(Kim Tae Won, a KBS Comedian debuted in 2011)
I'm not afraid of grim reaper anymore.
(A KBS comedian, Kim Tae Won)
I'm Lee Young Ja.
- Today's story is... - Yes.
(He has always liked music.)
(What?)
When we asked for his goal today,
he said he wants to defeat Lee Hyun.
That's what he told us. What does this mean?
It didn't mean I wanted to defeat Lee Hyun.
We're from the same hometown and we came to Seoul together.
I wanted him to acknowledge my singing.
But I guess I failed.
- No, you were great. - You did great.
You were amazing.
(He came here to be recognised by his old friend.)
It feels strange since a person I know is on that stage.
He wasn't a KBS comedian actually.
When we first came to Seoul, he worked at SBS as a comedian.
He had a hard time back then...
when there was a downfall in comedy.
All those memories are passing by me right now.
When I was watching Hyun's old show, "Showvival",
I cried for two hours.
It made me so sad back then.
(While Hyun was worried about Tae Won,)
(Tae Won was worried about Hyun.)
(He was unknown for a long time.)
Were you let down a lot?
(They were cheering each other up.)
When we were going through a hard time,
I said I wanted to eat jajangmyeon.
(They still remember the memories of the trip to Seoul.)
But, Lee Hyun...
knows him very well.
(Why did you say it wasn't him?)
Yes.
No, you see...
- the point of this show is... - Yes?
the uncertainty of everything.
So you were just messing with us?
- K.will taught me. - K.will?
- That's right. - I see.
He told me to do this.
So you knew?
As soon as you took your breath.
Excuse me. You should join 8eight...
instead of Chang Min.
- You'll do well together. - How about Homme?
Homme sounds good for your team name.
Make a group together as I say.
Chang Min can't do anything without me.
Does he need you?
Yes, Chang Min doesn't look really good on TV.
So he needs me.
Someone over here said you should make a team called "Fire Truck".
That's a good idea.
- I like that. - It's a nice name.
Seeing your tears, we could see your friendship.
We could also see Tae Won's ...
dream of being a singer.
Give him a round of applause.
- You did good. - Thank you.
(We congratulate you for coming out here, Tae Won.)
That really touched our hearts.
His dream of a singer...
Everyone was very talented.
(Lee Hyun followed him.)
I think you sang way better before.
I got three IV injections.
Really?
I'm fine.
Hyun, lift my pants one last time.
Okay.
Wait, it's...
They really keep falling down.
No way, really?
Seong Ju really lifted this for you?
This?
This is no joke.
I'm here.
Here I am.
I wanted to overcome myself this time.
I wanted to give it a go. That's all I thought of.
It was a dream come true...
since I really liked music and singing.
It felt really good for me.
I think I did a good job. I am going to buy myself some...
fried chicken as a reward.
(Proud)
Shield Kite defeated Kim Tae Won and went to Round Three.
It is not long before the rise of...
the first King of Mask Singer of 2016.
We will bring out the winners of both Round One and Two...
on stage once more.
Please greet them with loud cheers.
(Final Round)
(Fortune versus Shield Kite)
(The sturdy Fortune...)
(and the calm Shield Kite)
(Excited)
Right. Do you have anything to say?
Fortune?
I am very nervous.
I didn't know I would come this far.
I'm happy to...
show you all that I've prepared.
Yes.
(Shield Kite speaks how he feels.)
Thank you for liking my songs.
Thank you.
Okay.
Did you fulfil your goals or...
do you still have some goals left?
I want to win since it's...
the first Final Round of the year.
I see, you want to win.
It seems she wants to be the King of Mask Singer.
How about you, Shield Kite?
- I came here without greed. - I see.
So I am planning to just enjoy this match.
I didn't look that greedy, right?
Then, shall we say she won?
- You are not greedy. - But we should still sing.
You should sing and receive votes.
Yes, of course. That's the rule.
I think he is getting a bit greedy.
Catgirl is going for the four consecutive wins.
How do you feel?
I see your will...
but this isn't an easy place to be.
- I want to tell them this. - Yes.
Since it's not easy to be here,
I won't lose this place easily.
I see.
(That was a speech from the King of Mask Singer.)
As you know, it's not easy to be on that seat.
Catgirl even defeated Cho Jang Hyuk...
who's sitting over there.
Who will be the first Mask Singer of this year?
We will start the Final Round right now.
Let's see Fortune's stage first.
I think she will do really good.
- It's going to be a blast. - Exactly.
I'm really looking forward to this.
(Her great singing ability...)
(has captured everyone's attention.)
(What performance has she prepared today?)
("Lonely Night" by Boohwal)
(Unlike the second round, the song is cheerful.)
(They're feeling the beat from the start).
(She sings powerfully with a stable voice.)
(House band)
(A performance everyone can enjoy whilst clapping)
(She's amazing.)
(Wow, it's good.)
(She knows how to sing.)
(She can play with the rhythm freely!)
(Her passionate performance...)
(reminds us of a concert.)
(Fantastic ad-lib!)
(People admire her performance!)
(Warming the wintry night, it's Fortune's "Lonely Night".)
(Bravo!)
(Thumbs up!)
She did her very best.
Wow, that blew me away.
Going against her,
he beat singer Lim Baek Chun and comedian Kim Tae Won.
His voice gets higher and higher.
He is Unbeatable Shield Kite!
(Shall I go for it again?)
(Ladies and gentlemen, are you ready?)
(We're ready!)
I want him to do well, too.
For a voice like his, he needs to pick the right song.
Good luck!
(For every round, he received more than 70 votes.)
(The voice that the panel has praised)
(Choosing the right song is important!)
(Which song did Shield Kite prepare?)
("Love" by Yim Jae Beum)
(Oh, my goodness)
(I got the chills.)
(Can you hear that?)
(The sound of women falling for him.)
(He sings every note with his deep voice.)
(His voice is so sweet.)
(It's a voice that captivates everyone.)
(Listening to his heart-wrenching singing,)
(everyone is having a heartburn.)
(The first verse was enough to charm every woman's heart.)
I'm already worried who I should vote for.
(Me too)
(Like the cries of a lonely beast...)
(and like the confessions of a real man,)
(his singing resounds in our hearts.)
Gosh, that was so nice.
(A performance that touched the heart)
(That was amazing, Shield Kite.)
(Waves of sentiment)
Round Three is the best round.
- That was so good. - That was amazing.
I just understood what you meant by "bad guy."
He just shook my heart.
Round Three, the Final Round for the King of Mask Singer.
Their performances have now ended.
Please without prejudices, cast your vote for...
the singer that you think is a King of Mask Singer candidate.
All votes are in.
Catgirl, how did you like the match of Round Three?
I'm happy because whoever gets chosen,
I think we will have a great match.
Catgirl, you sound very confident.
- I'm not. - You're not?
Deep down, she must be pretty nervous.
Then please go backstage and get ready for the Final Match.
- Please cheer for her. - Good luck!
(Go, King of Mask Singer!)
It must have felt different from Round One and Round Two.
Young Seok was watching the performance...
almost completely speechless.
(Clapping)
(Oh, my goodness)
How did you feel?
- He cried again. - No.
Personally...
(He wipes his tears.)
(Are you crying again? Why do you cry everyday?)
He must be moved.
I knew Shield Kite was good at singing.
But I didn't know...
he would be that good with an amazing narrative arc.
It was...
very impressive.
And Fortune has got great basic singing skills...
for any songs.
No matter what song she sings, she can sing it...
as if it's her song.
I'm not sure who will win,
but I'm sure that...
- Catgirl would be intimidated. - Okay.
Lee Hyun, I saw you giving a standing ovation...
- after Fortune's performance. - Wow.
(Fortune held the stage with her powerful voice.)
(Standing up)
(He gave a standing ovation.)
(He couldn't keep his mouth shut.)
Wow, I got goosebumps all over. I couldn't help but standing up.
Thank you for the great performance.
- I also watched Gu Ra carefully. - Yes.
He was thinking.
In fact,
- I got a colonoscopy earlier today. - I see.
- Were you put under sedation? - Yes.
I guess it wasn't too bad.
As I listened to their songs, I was brought to my senses.
I think Fortune is...
a strategic analyst.
No one can overcome Catgirl...
when it comes to a powerful performance.
So Fortune decided to show people...
her power, strength and high notes.
She added a lot of high note ad-lib whilst singing.
(Ad-libbing)
She wanted Catgirl to hear that.
(Catgirl, are you listening to me?)
(I'm this good.)
(Startled)
Meanwhile, Shield Kite was...
like a monster.
- A monster? - A monster man.
When he sang,
he was doing like this.
- And he even shouted like this. - Okay.
(He did it with only one hand at first.)
(And then he shook his both hands...)
(and even his head.)
(He shook his whole body in the end.)
I was just glad that he was good at singing.
It would have been weird if he were not good at singing.
I think it was a very close match.
But I gave my vote to Fortune...
- who is the strategic analyst. - I see.
Gu Ra just made a joke about Shield Kite...
shaking his head whilst singing.
But there are some singers who sings shaking their heads.
- You know Stevie Wonder. - Yes.
I just called to say
I love you
(Shaking)
(He shakes his head even more as he reaches the climax.)
He sings shaking his head like this.
Shield Kite is like him.
How can we evaluate his singing then?
- So it is his own style. - Yes.
It was a great performance. Thank you.
Hyun Cheol praised him highly.
It felt like Shield Kite was...
- belching his voice out. - I see.
I think he knows how to...
belch his voice out.
And Fortune was good too.
Because the song "Lonely Night" is a very difficult song to sing.
The song has a lot of syncopation.
But she sang the song...
with perfect syncopation.
It reminds me
She must have studied music at some famous music school.
- I even thought that. - Okay.
As I saw Fortune singing,
I thought there are...
not many singers...
who can sing like her in the country.
And it seems Shield Kite is a very emotional singer.
His voice tone has a power to captivate people.
- It really made me focus. - I see.
Eric, I heard you keep saying "Oh, my gosh"...
during the performances.
Oh, my gosh!
Wow! Wow!
I really felt their expressions and emotions.
And as a new singer,
I reflected on myself watching the performances.
I thought I should try harder.
I'd like to thank them for showing us wonderful performances.
- You were inspired. - Yes.
I will announce the result...
of the Final Round.
Who will go into the 20th Final Match?
The winner is about to be announced.
(She heated up the stage with her powerful performance.)
(Fortune has got solid basic singing skills.)
(He's got an ardent voice belched from his body.)
(He is as good as Stevie Wonder.)
(Shield Kite's vocal cords are amazing.)
Who will compete against Catgirl?
The winner is...
(Mysterious Music Show, King of Mask Singer)
The winner is...
- Fortune! - Shield Kite!
(Fortune or Shield Kite)
(Who will be the winner of this match?)
It is the Final Round.
(Mysterious Music Show, King of Mask Singer)
The winner...
is...
(Unbeatable Shield Kite wins.)
Shield Kite wins.
(Shield Kite wins!)
(The joy of victory...)
(and the shame of defeat...)
(coexist at this very moment.)
Shield Kite!
Unbeatable Shield Kite beats Unexpected Fortune...
and becomes the candidate of the King of Mask Singer.
The votes were 77 to 22.
He won by a wide margin.
He got more than...
70 votes in each round.
Please give him a round of applause.
(Fortune will reveal her identity soon.)
(Dazed)
I'm moved. Thank you.
Then who would Fortune be...
who brought us a good luck for the new year?
Please take off your mask and show us your face.
She is a strategic analyst.
She boasted that she is a singer.
(She showed her flash dance moves.)
She must be in her mid to late 30s. I think she is Park Ki Young.
She is...
(She is...)
(Who is she?)
Show us your face!
She is...
the empress of R&B, Lim Jeong Hee.
(The empress of R&B, Lim Jeong Hee!)
(She is Lim Jeong Hee!)
What?
Look at her.
I knew it.
- She's Lim Jeong Hee. - She was amazing.
It turns out Fortune was Lim Jeong Hee.
(She made her debut with "Music Is My Life" in 2005.)
(With her hit songs such as "Golden Lady" and "Tears Wouldn't Fall",)
(she has become a great singer.)
(Not only that, she is also a popular musical actress.)
(She is truly the top vocalist of the country.)
(The empress of R&B, Lim Jeong Hee!)
Hello. Nice to meet you. I'm Lim Jeong Hee.
I'm glad to see you in the first week of the new year.
Happy New Year!
Whenever we had some...
female vocalists who were good at singing,
the panel has mentioned your name a lot.
Did you know that?
Yes, some people I know...
even think I already appeared on this show.
So I wanted to come here and sing.
I'm glad that I was able to...
- sing all the songs I prepared. - Okay.
- She was my junior in school. - Hello.
- Pardon? - We went to the same school.
- Same school? - She was my junior in college.
- She was my junior. - I see.
I even...
- taught Lim Jeong Hee. - Right.
- Hello. - You were her professor?
Even though she is a famous diva on the stage now,
she started her career as a diva on the street.
Preparing for the performances of this show,
I heard you miss those times. Is it true?
I was a trainee in an agency for about seven years.
I wanted to sing in front of people...
but I couldn't because I was an obscure singer.
I knew it was a bit reckless, but I sang on the street.
And I wanted to take back my passion of the time.
(It was 10 years ago in cold winter.)
(She sang with a keyboard in a remote parking lot.)
(It was how she dreamed of becoming a singer.)
Even though I'm more experienced now,
I think I've become a bit lazy. So I reflected on myself.
- I see. - Yes.
I didn't know you were that good.
I could see that she spent a lot of time...
to ad-lib in her songs.
Her performance was the product of her hard work.
The composition of your performance spoke of your past experiences.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
Lim Jeong Hee reminded of her days of performing on the streets...
and was judged today solely by her singing skills.
Please give her a round of applause.
- Thank you. - You did a good job.
(We look forward to seeing more amazing performances from her.)
You did a good job, Diva Lim.
Even though she failed to compete against the King of Mask Singer,
she made the audience happy with her impressive performance.
I did my best.
I have no regrets.
It feels so good.
I debuted with "Music Is My Life".
I have tried to live up to the title of my debut song.
But I wish to show my funny and down-to-earth sides...
to my devoted fans.
I wanted to break the stereotypes but I'm not sure if it worked.
This is the first week of the new year.
Coming to the broadcasting station was fun,
but I was also very nervous.
This show has been a blessing for me.
I hope the viewers will feel blessed from watching my performance.
In Round Three,
Shield Kite beat Lim Jeong Hee and moved on to the Final Match.
This is the mysterious music show, King of Mask Singer.
Now, the Female Warrior Catgirl...
will perform to defend her throne and take her fourth win in a row.
Now, let's begin...
the Final Match to determine the 20th King of Mask Singer.
(Expectant)
(It's time for the King to perform.)
(The King, Female Warrior Catgirl)
(Will she defeat the final contender once again?)
This is the Final Match to determine the 20th King of Mask Singer.
The dark horse with a powerful voice aims to win four times in a row.
The 17th, 18th and 19th King of Mask Singer,
Female Warrior Catgirl!
(Meow)
(She enters the stage confidently.)
(King of Mask Singer is so cool.)
Most vocalists...
embellish songs, but she embellishes her stage.
Don't talk to me now. I need to focus on her performance.
(Disrobing)
- My goodness. - Did you see that?
The robe of the King suits her more than anyone.
(Catgirl's performance has always exceeded people's expectations.)
(She is close to securing her fourth win in a row.)
(If she wins again,)
(she will be on par with Cleopatra and Cosmos.)
("How Love Is" by Lee Seung Hwan)
(This is incredible.)
(The powerful King is gone.)
(Her sad voice knocks on people's hearts.)
(Even her breath conveys her emotions.)
(Catgirl shows her sentimentality.)
(My goodness)
(Everyone is absorbed in her singing.)
(They even forgot to clap.)
(Wow)
(She conveys sadness from the depth of her heart.)
(Her voice pours out like an explosion.)
(Jaw-dropping)
(The King of Mask Singer takes everyone's breath away.)
(She is the true King of Mask Singer.)
- She is incredible. - My goodness.
She is amazing.
That woman is ruthless.
She is ruthless.
- I don't have to make up my mind. - Give her a round of applause.
Shield Kite did very well, too.
Catgirl's performance to defend her throne...
came to an end.
Now, it's time to choose the victor.
Press number one for Unbeatable Shield Kite,
and press number two for Female Warrior Catgirl.
Setting stereotypes aside, pick a person who you think...
is well-suited to become the 20th King of Mask Singer.
Press the button...
and cast a vote...
for the singer of your choice.
The victor of this match...
will have the honour of becoming the first King in 2016.
All votes are in.
Two masked singers have competed in the Final Match.
Please say hello to each other.
Please give Shield Kite and Catgirl a round of applause.
Both performances were very impressive.
(They are good rivals.)
Young Seok, why are you pounding on your leg?
- What's wrong? - It's nothing.
- Are you crying again? - No, I'm not.
- Stop crying! - It's not like that.
I think...
Catgirl's songs...
are very tasty.
(I agree.)
Many people feel satisfied when she hits high notes,
but I think it's her low voice in the beginning that draws us in.
I felt like I was being sucked into a black hole.
She freely and skilfully implements her deep voice...
which is very stable.
(She whispered in a low voice in the beginning of the song.)
(This is Catgirl's charm.)
Hyun Cheol listened to her performance...
with his eyes closed.
Catgirl makes it feel as though the song has come to life.
That's how I felt.
And when Shield Kite sang...
Love
- I was done for. - My goodness.
- Did you just act? - All right.
(Love)
(I'm done for.)
Gu Ra, wouldn't you agree that this is a close match?
Of course. Last week,
Catgirl showed us a powerful dance whilst she sang.
Watching that felt like...
she brandished a knife...
whilst being in a bare hand fight.
If she can both dance...
and sing well,
other contestants won't hold a chance.
But today, she filled the stage with only her voice.
I love that confidence.
And "How Love Is" is a very difficult song to sing.
I actually prefer songs like "Family".
Seriously?
("Family"?)
It doesn't suit you.
What's wrong with "Family"?
It's understandable.
I like the song, "Family".
Of course, he likes the song.
Her performance was thrilling until the end of the song.
Her emotions were building into the ending.
(Rapturous ending)
(She's amazing.)
Surely, the King of Mask Singer is different.
I prefer the song "Family" by the same singer.
The song was "How Love Is". But How can she be like that?
- I think she is incredible. - I see.
Jang Hyuk once competed with Cosmos and Catgirl...
right on this stage.
Yes, I did.
How did you feel listening to Catgirl's singing again?
Her energy is so great that it comes upon us.
Also, I felt a tremendous amount of energy from Shield Kite.
The singers put us into a difficult situation.
We had to choose only one singer.
And that was very hard. I'm feeling many things as a panelist today.
- I see. - It was a wonderful experience.
I see. Bong Sun is still feeling...
a strong attraction towards Shield Kite.
Shield Kite is a man I've fallen in love with...
for the first time this year.
You'll remember him like that.
He is my first love in the year of 2016.
- Your first love in 2016? - Yes.
He's your first love in the new year.
I want to make canapes for him.
And I want to drink a glass of wine with him.
What do you think about Seo Jang Hoon?
Things are going well between them. What's wrong with you?
What's wrong with Seo Jang Hoon?
I mean, Jang Hoon is not even here.
He enchanted me.
- Kite seems happy to hear that. - You should vote objectively.
What are you talking about?
- Just date Seo Jang Hoon. - Okay.
I felt something different from Catgirl today.
She's so far showed an image of a powerful woman.
I was a bit intimidated by her.
Today, she was like crying her heart out because of love.
She deeply touched my heart and it felt totally different.
I really enjoyed her performance in a different way.
I see. The mysterious music show, King of Mask Singer.
The name of the 20th King of Mask Singer will be announced.
The first King of Mask Singer in the new year,
the 20th King of Mask Singer is going to be revealed now.
(Round after round,)
(the voice of Shield Kite became deeper.)
(Will the wild but sorrowful voice of Shield Kite...)
(bring him the title of the 20th King of Mask Singer?)
(Will Catgirl who revealed her claws...)
(win the title for four consecutive times?)
The first King of Mask Singer in the new year is...
The winner is...
My hands are trembling. What do I do?
(I can't watch.)
I'm nervous.
(He's restless.)
(Who will be the first winner of 2016?)
(Defending champion Catgirl or new contender Shield Kite?)
The winner is...
Catgirl.
(Catgirl wins for four consecutive times.)
(Catgirl is the 17th, 18th, 19th and 20th King of Mask Singer.)
Catgirl has become the first King of Mask Singer in 2016.
She won with a score of 62 to 37.
Shield Kite received over 70 votes in former rounds.
But Catgirl's beaten him with a score of 62 to 37.
She becomes King of Mask Singer once again.
She secured four successive wins.
The golden mask and gown are being awarded to...
the 20th King of Mask Singer, Female Warrior Catgirl.
(She wears the golden mask skilfully.)
She is the first King of Mask Singer in the new year.
Her four consecutive wins tie with...
the record set by Cleopatra and Cosmos.
How do you feel now?
I feel I was given another chance...
to make another leap forward.
To live up to the expectations upon this golden mask and gown,
I'll give my body and soul to prepare the next performance.
Thank you.
She is invincible.
She was the last King of Mask Singer in 2015.
Now she became the first King of Mask Singer in 2016.
Please congratulate her with a big round of applause.
(Catgirl holds a parade.)
Female Warrior Catgirl has won four times in a row.
She's unbelievable.
(Catgirl happily leaves the stage.)
Who could possibly beat Catgirl?
(However...)
What am I going to do?
(she's worried to death about the next competition.)
(But since she won today,)
Thank you.
(she gladly goes home for now.)
Now let's see...
who Shield Kite is.
When he sang the first bar "Love",
he already touched the hearts of us.
Who is he?
Please take off your mask...
and show us who you are.
- I think he is Lee Kyu Seok. - Oh, I see.
I know for sure who Shield Kite is. So I'd better not tell who he is.
Love, I was done for.
- He is my first love. - Your first love?
Please take off your mask...
and show us who you are.
Who is he?
- I want it to be a secret. - Who is Shield Kite?
Shield Kite is...
(Who is he?)
(Oh!)
Who is he?
Shield Kite is...
Jeon Woo Sung of Noel.
(Now they remember his voice.)
(They are glad to see him.)
(They already knew.)
(Some of panelists who didn't know are surprised.)
Hello, it's nice to see you. I'm Jeon Woo Sung of Noel.
(It's been 15 years since the ballad group Noel made a debut.)
(Their hit songs include "Despite Holding on", "All Was You".)
(Noel has been loved for their sentimental ballads.)
(Jeon Woo Sung is a husky-voiced member of Noel.)
(Cleopatra sang the song "What If" and made a sensation.)
(The song was originally sung by Noel.)
(Jeon Woo Sung of Noel was Shield Kite.)
- "What If" that Cleopatra sang... - The song "What If"...
was originally sung by his group.
Kim Gu Ra has been wishing he would appear on this show.
- I wanted to see him. - You did.
Amongst your team members, mostly Kang Kyun Sung came on TV shows.
You are right.
You have rarely appeared on...
TV shows.
When this show was made,
I didn't like this show.
I thought this was another survival show.
And I don't like survival shows.
But as I kept watching this show,
I could feel the festivity here.
I could see everybody was enjoying the performance.
I thought I also wanted to perform on this stage.
How do you feel now?
First of all, I didn't expect to win.
- No way. - Did I look otherwise?
Woo Sung said he didn't participate to win.
But I don't think so.
- Why are you saying that? - He used to have a blog.
The title of his blog was...
"King of Singers, Jeon Woo Sung"
("King of Singers, Jeon Woo Sung")
He used to call himself "King of Singers" as his nickname.
He is the person calling himself "King of Singers".
Like his nickname,
he always thinks how to sing better,
and he deeply loves singing.
He has a strong desire to present great music for listeners.
Considering what Lee Hyun said about you,
it seems you wanted to find out if you could be a real king of singers.
- No, it's not like that. - I understand him.
Because the title of my blog is "My Winning Days Thanks to My Looks".
"My Winning Days Thanks to My Looks"
(He's funny.)
You are hilarious.
Jang Hyuk, did you also know he is Jeon Woo Sung?
I have often listened to "What If".
- Kim Yeon Woo has sung that song. - That's right.
I have actually wanted to do a remake of the song,
but I lost my chance since Kim Yeon Woo did it first.
And I must say that I have always liked...
your voice.
Jeon Woo Sung of Noel showed us his full potential...
as a sentimental vocalist today.
Please give him a round of applause.
You did a good job.
(Thank you for your performance. It was as good as a New Year's gift.)
I had a lot of fun.
Kyun Sung gave me his full support.
He told me,
"Soar to the sky. Be comfortable."
His advice really touched me.
Many people like my sentimentality.
To be honest, I was very touched by people's reactions.
My surviving a round after another...
is a testimony of how much people liked the way I sing.
I will go to bed with a peaceful heart today.
