The mysterious music show, King of Mask Singer.
The 21st King of Mask Singer on her way to six successive victories,
The Female Warrior Catgirl.
(The Female Warrior Catgirl)
We will now introduce the eight singers who will be her challengers.
I will show you my love for singing.
It's the Talented Singing Geek.
(The Talented Singing Geek)
The Singing Geek? His name sounds like the programme I'm hosting.
(That's the name of my programme.)
I am the star who will shine the brightest tonight.
It's Starry Night.
Wow. Look at her mask.
- It seems she'll pass many stages. - I agree.
I never step back or give up.
It's the Skipping Baby Ghost.
(The Skipping Baby Ghost)
He's cute.
(The unexpected charms of the cute Baby Ghost)
My only dream is to become the King of Mask Singer.
The Angled Life Square's Dream.
(The Angled Life Square's Dream)
Square's Dream. It's your song.
("Square's Dream" is Young Seok's song.)
That's my song.
I move forward without hesitating.
The Music Commander In My Town.
(The Music Commander In My Town)
Look at his gestures.
(He looks suspicious.)
I will knock down everyone.
I Am The National Athlete.
(I Am The National Athlete)
- He is big. - He looks tough.
I will conquer the world with my voice.
The Space Beauty Maetel.
(The Space Beauty Maetel)
- I like her. - There's something about her.
He will sing in a sonorous voice.
It's the Finding Mum Tetsuro.
(The Finding Mum Tetsuro)
Tetsuro is here?
Tetsuro looks cute.
The nine masked singers are...
about to have a showdown.
The mysterious music show, King of Mask Singer
(The contestants look imposing.)
It has been changed a lot since the last time I was here.
- It feels more thrilling this way. - I'm excited.
Can any of them dethrone Catgirl?
You've met the eight masked singers,
who came on to become the King of Mask Singer.
It seems the producer of our programme...
want to make the show more competitive...
from the start of the new year.
I bet there will be some memorable matches happening tonight.
And I can understand why they made the changes.
It's because Catgirl hasn't been defeated for two months.
She's already broken the records set by Cleopatra and Cosmos.
She is now seeking to extend her five-match winning streak.
How do you feel?
I've faced 32 masked singers...
until this point. - Right.
- I will make it 40 singers today. - I see.
(She sounds charismatic.)
Okay. Do you have something to say?
I think she should be careful...
- when she is full of confidence. - I see.
- So I think she could lose tonight. - I see.
(Thinking carefully)
- There were eight masked singers. - Yes.
- I'm sure they complained. - Yes, they did.
They would not have been happy with the new changes.
- I'm sure they blame Catgirl. - Okay.
And it will only make them more competitive.
- You mean they are provoked. - Yes.
Is there anyone amongst the singers you are keeping an eye on?
- Well... - Please tell us just one person.
- I think Singing Geek will be good. - Singing Geek?
- I am the host of the programme. - I see.
- Is that why you picked him? - Yes.
We have many young musicians...
on our panel today.
We are lucky to have so many amazing musicians on the panel today.
On the left,
we have a singer who was just the third vocalist in his group BTOB...
- before he came on our programme. - Okay.
- But since he came here, - Yes.
he's become the beloved third vocalist. He is Yuk Seong Jae.
- Hello. - Hello, Yuk Seong Jae.
(Yuk Seong Jae of BTOB)
He's here today as a panellist. How do you feel?
I am very observant.
I've got a sixth sense about things.
- Really? - That's why you are here.
- He seems to be good at this. - Yes, he is.
There is one person I want to mention.
- He is the Music Commander. - Okay.
- I think I know him. - The Music Commander?
You didn't even hear his song. Your sixth sense told you?
Wow, that's amazing. Then please watch him carefully...
- when he sings later. - Okay.
And we have a singer-songwriter...
who showed us a great performance last time.
He is Taekown V, Muzie.
Hello. I'm Muzie. Nice to meet you.
Muzie, how does it feel sitting there?
I'm not here to have fun. I will observe the singers carefully,
so that I can find out who they are behind the masks.
- Okay. - Next to Yuk Seong Jae,
we have this girl who I've met on other programmes.
She wasn't that impressive in the programmes though.
- But she will be different today. - I see.
- Let's do this. - She's full of positive energy.
- Who are you? It's Yoo A. - Thank you.
- Hello. - She is Yoo A of Oh My Girl.
(She is cute.)
Then I will introduce the masked singers...
for the first match of Round One.
(The masked singers of the first match of Round One)
(King of Mask Singer)
The first match of Round One.
Singing is his life.
It's the Talented Singing Geek.
(The Talented Singing Geek)
(I am the Singing Geek.)
(They are excited to see him.)
Singing Geek looks imposing.
Even his name is imposing.
(Nodding)
And his challenger, the keeper of the night skies,
the singing star,
Starry Night.
(Starry Night)
(She looks proud.)
(They are more excited to see her.)
I think she will be good.
She looks confident.
- She is small. - She is short.
(The two masked singers make everyone excited.)
(The audience exclaims as the singers take off their robe.)
Is that a radio?
No, they put a box on their head...
in the programme called "People of Full Capacity".
Is there a singer who is that short?
- I hope she is Ben. - Ben is shorter than her.
(Both of them look out of the ordinary.)
(The eyes of the audience members are shining with anticipation.)
I'm glad to see their performance from here.
("My Love To You" by Hong Seo Beom & Jo Gap Gyeong)
(She is a master of singing.)
She sounds like Lee Sun Hee.
(Her voice sounds clear and relaxed.)
(She sings neatly without vibrato.)
His voice is totally different from what I expected.
(He is a master of singing, too.)
(His voice sounds rich and sorrowful.)
(He sings in a high tone.)
He is very good at singing.
(She's got a beautiful voice.)
(Their harmony touches the audience's heart.)
I think I know him.
Isn't he a comedian?
What? How can a comedian sing so well? He is a singer.
Isn't he the comedian who is good at singing?
- I bet they are singers. - They are singers for sure.
(He sings every note with sincerity.)
(I like her voice.)
Is there a singer who is that short?
(The song warms the people up...)
(with their beautiful harmony.)
(The song helped make Hong Seo Beom and Jo Gap Gyeong a happy couple...)
(and now their duet song has made the panellists happy.)
- Both of them are so good. - It is great.
They are really good.
- It is just Round One though. - It is hard to decide.
Who is he?
What?
I don't know.
He keeps asking the same question.
They're both really good.
The first match of Round One was a sweet duet...
by two masked singers who sang in harmony.
Now, you have to cast your vote for the masked singer...
who will move on to Round Two.
Who will be the masked singer of your choice?
How will the destiny of these two diverge?
All votes are in.
Please introduce yourselves to the viewers.
First, Talented Singing Geek.
Hello, I am Talented Singing Geek. Nice to meet you.
(Welcoming)
He was the one that Gu Ra pegged as a potential winner.
Wasn't I right? Isn't he really good at singing?
- Right. - He sings well just like his name.
Hello, I am Starry Night.
Okay.
She is very shy. She introduces herself...
very modestly.
First, we will hear from Kim Hyung Seok...
who received the Best Rookie Award from MBC.
- He is the embodiment of ignorance. - Right.
Singing Geek is a singer who...
possesses stable vocals.
I noticed two unique points.
One is that he tends to use falsetto at the end of verses.
Another is his vibrato.
One singer I know who has such a voice is Lee Se Joon of Yurisangja,
and Lee Hyun from 8eight who has been on this show before.
I think he is a little old.
- He isn't a young idol singer. - Okay.
Starry Night is petite,
so I expected her to have little power when singing,
but I could see that she knows how to control her volume and...
when to breathe in and out.
- They are both singers. - Okay.
I think it was performance where it's very hard to tell...
- who was better. - Right.
Speaking in the language of beauty, Starry Night is...
a natural beauty who hasn't gotten any plastic surgery.
If you end your verses without vibrato,
it is easy to seem like you are bad at singing.
But Starry Night has a naturally beautiful voice...
that lets her show her colours only through her voice power...
without her having to use vibrato.
So you don't think she needs plastic surgery?
I can't say anything about her looks yet.
- But her voice... - But she has a gifted voice.
- Okay. - Singing Geek...
is a singer who has a lot of experience.
His skills are almost surely those of a professional singer.
One thing he could have improved was...
despite it being a duet performance of a love song,
Singing Geek would sing alone, looking straight ahead...
as focusing on singing even when Starry Night was looking at him.
It was a love song, but Singing Geek looked at her...
only after he was done singing his part.
- You know how idol singers... - Yes?
tend to focus on the camera when singing their part...
since they have so many members on the team?
So my guess is that Singing Geek is an idol singer.
But one thing we have to note is...
Singing Geek's boxed mask doesn't let him see sideways.
I know because I've tried it before. You can't see sideways.
- Aren't you advertising too much? - No, seriously. You can't.
- You have to turn your head sharp. - Right.
Look how hard it is for him. It looks silly.
- Oh, that was it. - Right, he couldn't help it.
- And if you see his upper body, - Yes?
it's Jo Hyung Ki's style.
He has a big chest.
Right. That's why I thought he might be a first generation idol singer.
Even if he's of the first generation, he's never worked out.
The guesses right now are being centred around your figure.
Do you have anything to say about that?
Yes, I think the jacket I'm wearing today is particularly big.
Your jacket is big?
Yes, I wanted to look like a geek,
- so I wore it on purpose. - On purpose?
What are you talking about?
He means he's not that fat.
Then why did you wear that jacket?
I have big breasts amongst male celebrities.
I have big breasts.
Don't touch them.
- I have big breasts, - We get it.
so I know that people with big breasts wear fancy clothes,
like Hawaiian shirts or shirts that have face printed on them.
Hyung Seok, you have big breasts too, right?
People with big breasts wear those kinds of clothes.
The jacket can't be the problem.
- Singing Geek. - Yes.
I have something in mind.
Didn't you change jobs?
- No. - You didn't change jobs?
No, I didn't.
Why are you interrogating him...
- like a detective? - I have someone in mind.
You're probably wrong.
You don't know who it is, and you tell him he's wrong?
You want him to be wrong. Gu Ra, who are you thinking of?
There's a guy called Kim Dong Myung.
Kim Dong Myung?
(Boo Hwal's 10th vocalist Kim Dong Myung...)
(who used to be a salary man)
Kim Dong Myung?
Yes, Kim Dong Myung from Boo Hwal.
He used to be the section chief at a company, so he has some belly fat.
- He used to be a section chief? - Yes.
Tae Won would always tell him to lose weight,
and Dong Myung would say he only drinks pear juice.
Tae Won asks, how many do you drink a day? And he answered "30".
- Yes, 30 packs can be fattening. - Of course.
I get the vibe that he is Kim Dong Myung.
Now, let's hear from Cho Jang Hyuk.
I think they are both not too young,
but their voices carry long breaths.
I think they have taken care of their health pretty well.
He guessed that you aren't too young.
There are guesses that you are quite old and experienced.
How do you feel about that?
When they say I am quite old,
what does "quite old" mean?
Mid 40s.
- Mid 40s. - What?
- What did you say? - She is shaking all over.
What do you mean, mid 40s?
I think she also has hand tremor.
I think it's only because she's disappointed right now.
She is a little angry.
She trembled when she heard she might be mid 40s.
- She's in her early 40s. - Early 40s?
You get angry when you guess older...
- by a small difference. - Right.
To sum up, she was born in the 60s or 70s.
The panellists are guessing she was born around that time and...
that Starry Night is in her mid 40s.
But her special talent is...
mimicking idol singers' dance moves.
Amongst idol groups, she can dance like...
EXO or Girl's Day.
- That's too much. - She's apparently pretty good.
- That's too much? - Seong Ju.
There's a trap right there.
An idol singer's special talent can't be idol dance.
If you're an idol singer yourself,
how could that be your talent?
So in my opinion, Starry Night is quite old and...
that's why her dancing like an idol is a special talent.
- You keep speaking with prejudice. - No, I'm not biased.
Didn't you prepare "Growl"?
See?
It's been a while since EXO released "Growl".
- Don't be so prejudiced. - "Growl"?
She wants you to rethink her age.
Please give us the music.
(She's pretty good.)
(Ta-da)
(Her movements are notable.)
(Sensuous)
(Sexy)
(They are now confused about her age.)
(At this time, "Growl")
(Look at me.)
(What is this?)
(Powerful moves)
(She is determined to rejuvenate.)
(She's good.)
(She's doing a ritual in hopes of becoming young again.)
(Flapping)
(They are embarrassed for her.)
(A-yo)
(Big applause)
Wow.
She dances very well.
She isn't young.
Did Park Seul Ki come out again?
It certainly feels like it.
Starry Night's idol dance.
Yuk Seong Jae, what did you think?
I could feel her delicate softness...
even at her fingertips.
It's hard to dance like that...
if you're not old.
- If you're not old? - Right.
When she acted like a monkey...
Did she act like a monkey?
- Growl, growl. - Right. I'm sorry.
What do you mean by acting like a monkey?
- It's a dance. - I'm sorry.
- A monkey doesn't growl. - Right.
- I'm sorry. I meant... - He said you acted like a monkey.
I thought it was a gorilla.
Yes.
Hey.
- It's a monkey, not a gorilla. - Same difference.
I'm very curious as to who she is.
Okay. We'll stop our guesses right there.
The panellists had a lot to say.
Who will be the winner of the first match of Round One?
We will now reveal the results.
(Profound sentiments and stable vocals)
(A clear, natural voice)
(We are especially more curious of the results...)
(because the two singers had different vocal styles.)
We will now announce the results...
of this match.
I think it will be a close match.
It's skills versus charm.
- Who is it? - Drum roll.
(Amidst predictions for a close game,)
(the winner who is to move onto the next round is...)
Let's see.
The first masked singer to move onto Round Two is...
Singing Geek.
Talented Singing Geek wins.
Look.
(Profound sentiments win.)
Starry Night! What?
Singing Geek won?
(Why are you surprised? You guessed he would win.)
Singing Geek beat Starry Night by a small difference.
It was 52 versus 47.
It was 52 versus 47. Singing Geek goes to...
the next round by five votes' difference.
(Singing Geek goes backstage holding his microphone.)
Thank you so much. I'll also do my best in Round Two.
I'll try to win again.
Now let us see who Starry Night is.
Let's listen to her solo song that she had prepared for the next round.
Please give her a big hand.
She is a veteran singer.
She has a natural and beautiful voice.
She is not young.
She is in her mid 40s.
- He says you're in your mid 40s. - What?
(A veteran singer in her 40s who dances like a gorilla?)
("You Look Like a Rose" by Min Hae Kyung)
(Wow!)
(Her voice has a beautiful tone.)
Her voice is so pretty.
I love it.
She's excellent.
She sounds familiar. Who on earth is she?
(Who is she?)
She's incredible.
(She has such a sweet tone.)
She is great.
(Who is Starry Night?)
Please remove your mask...
and show us who you are.
(Really?)
(Did you see her face?)
Gosh, is she wearing a wig?
What? That's a wig.
(What's going on?)
She's...
the singer Jadu with 16 years of experience.
(Is that Jadu?)
(Surprising!)
(He jumps up and down for joy.)
It's Jadu. Jadu.
- She is good. - Gosh, now I remember her voice.
I'm sorry for my false guess.
(The audience is in shock.)
I can't believe she is Jadu.
I can't believe it.
(Jadu who used to be a perky girl...)
(has come back as a mature woman.)
(Thank you for coming back to us and not losing your cheerful smile.)
(The audience is glad to hear Jadu's voice again.)
The identity of Starry Night has been revealed.
- It was Jadu. - Hello.
Will you say hello to the audience?
It's been a long time. I'm Jadu.
- Nice to meet you. - All right.
Jadu.
(She made her debut in 2011 with Kang Du as a duet The Jadu.)
(They have hit songs "Gimbap", "Good Bye" and "We Need to Talk".)
(She was popular, and was known as the Female version of Psy.)
(She also appeared in many dramas, sitcoms and movies.)
(She has suddenly stopped everything and disappeared.)
Her husband is a pastor.
- Really? - Yes, he is.
We've never had the wife of a pastor on our programme before.
(Jadu comes back after getting married.)
- Jadu appeared... - Right.
in "Radio Star" not long ago.
I shouldn't be saying this but, your voice on the show...
- lacked... - Okay.
- power compared to before. - I see.
It seems you practised hard for today's performance.
Actually when I was on the show,
I was trying to remove the impression people had of me.
People think that I'm a singer who only sings about food.
- I see. - Whenever people see me,
they call out to me, "Gimbap! Gimbap!"
- So I was trying to present... - I see.
a more feminine and softer side to me.
That might have been why I looked less powerful.
I can't believe this.
Many people are fond of...
and jealous of her voice.
- But she wanted to change that. - I know.
People always want what other people have.
But I'm sure she has realised today on this stage that...
her voice is special.
- All right. - Yes.
- Her voice has... - Yes.
two strengths. Firstly, she has a clear voice.
Secondly, it is always charged with emotions in the high notes.
When these two strengths are harmonised, her voice is unique...
and extraordinary.
- Yes. - Her voice is really magnificent.
I think she was reminded again, how precious her voice is...
through today's competition.
Jadu has returned to us with more mature voice.
Please give her a big round of applause.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
(We'll look forward to seeing you often.)
(Jadu steps down with a happy face.)
(I feel so relieved.)
(She dances like a gorilla again.)
We had hit songs like "Good Bye", "We Need to Talk" and "Gimbap".
But,
I felt like I had run out of things to sing about.
I thought I couldn't discover...
anything new.
It was like I was stuck as a singer.
Well...
It was quite hard.
I seemed that I didn't love myself that much.
I didn't love myself enough back then.
Now when I rewatch my performances,
I realised I was cute and pretty.
But back then,
I hated what I was doing. I wanted to do something new.
And I sang on King of Mask Singer today.
I feel like I showed the real me as well as my real voice.
Now I feel...
relieved and better.
I will love my past self.
(I will love my past self.)
In Round One,
Singing Geek defeated Jadu...
and advanced to Round Two.
The second match of Round One.
His voice will create strong winds.
It's Skipping Baby Ghost.
I have no idea how it'll go.
I'll try to be cool.
(He's so cute.)
Doesn't he look mysterious?
Yes, he might be hard to guess.
(Skipping Baby Ghost is mysterious.)
Here comes his opponent.
His dream of becoming King of Mask Singer will come true.
It's Angled Life Square's Dream.
I've gotten through my angled life.
I'll make my dream come true.
(Who is he?)
I open my eyes and I'm lying on a square bed
(He is jumping around.)
(He's cute.)
(The contenders stand at the centre of the stage.)
She's really short.
- He is not short. - No?
He is almost as tall as the security guards.
We need to find out the heights of the security guards.
- You have a point. - Yes.
What are those things stuck on his suit?
You mean Square's Dream?
They are like patches.
- Is that popular these days? - Yes.
(The two mysterious mask singers take the stage.)
(Baby Ghost looks innocent.)
(The Fashionable Square's Dream)
("Writing Goodbye on the Window" by Kim Seung Jin")
(He starts dancing.)
(It's a delightful introduction.)
Baby Ghost is a male singer.
(Baby Ghost has a clear, boyish voice.)
Who is he?
His voice sounds familiar.
They are both good singers.
(Square's Dream has an expressive and husky voice.)
(My goodness)
(Startled)
(They thought cuteness was Baby Ghost's forte.)
(He is skilled at hitting the high notes.)
(His singing skills are stable and relaxed.)
(They have perfect teamwork.)
(House band)
(It's dance time.)
(They can both sing and dance well.)
(There has never been a duet like this one.)
(Fantastic dance moves)
(Square's Dream became more lively.)
(This is fun.)
(Even after a strenuous dance, he isn't out of breath.)
(Baby Ghost seems to be an experienced singer.)
(What is this dance?)
(I know that dance.)
(Skipping)
(Attacking)
(They put on a witty performance.)
(They are talented singers.)
(They can also dance well. They have perfect teamwork.)
(The performance couldn't have been better.)
(Bravo)
- They are so talented. - I know.
They are so talented.
(Who could these talented singers be?)
I sang that song a few days ago.
The second match of Round One has come to an end.
Whose voice...
did you enjoy more?
Make up your mind...
and press the button.
All votes are in.
Please say hello to the viewers.
I'm the Skipping Baby Ghost.
(He's cute.)
All right. He is a very cute...
baby ghost.
I'm the Angled Life Square's Dream.
"Square's Dream" is also a title of a song. Yu Young Seok,
you are the composer of the song. Did you like his performance?
I think he is an older singer, but he uses various singing techniques.
- So I'm curious about his identity. - I see.
He has a very charming voice.
- Is that so? - Baby Ghost looked like...
he's been wanting to sing for a long time.
- He has hungered for a song. - That's right.
His improvisation with the notes during the performance...
tells me that he conveyed his feelings through his voice.
In that case, he could be a singer who hasn't sung for a long time.
I believe that both masked singers...
are used to running around whilst singing on stage.
- Both of them? - Yes.
It's natural to lose your breath after dancing.
Your image on the window
- Okay. - They didn't sing like this.
Their breathing was under control throughout the stage.
(Skipping)
(Jumping)
(They danced strenuously on stage.)
(But they were never out of breath.)
I'm certain both of them are dance singers.
The expert of breath control believes...
that they are dance singers.
Let's hear from the expert of vocal cords, Kim Hyun Cheol.
All right. Baby Ghost...
- never drinks or smokes. - I see.
Because the vocal cords are muscles, they change with age.
But I can tell that he took meticulous care of his vocal cords.
And he never missed a beat.
(He didn't make a single mistake.)
(His sense of rhythm rivaled that of a metronome.)
(On beat)
I believe he is an expert...
- of dance music. - I see.
But I wouldn't say he strictly focused on dance music...
because it seems like he could be a good balladeer.
As for Square's Dream,
I paid attention how he danced in the middle of the song.
(His head, hands and feet are going in different directions.)
- I know that dance. - Okay.
It's a dance only someone...
- of a certain age would know. - Okay.
I'm sure the audience wondered what that dance was about.
It may look strange, but people in my age group know it.
- Back when I had just debuted, - Go on.
- Lee Bong Won danced like that. - I see.
- That dance is prehistoric. - I see.
It's a dance that was popular in the 80s and 90s.
I think both of them were popular in the 80s.
Yuk Seong Jae was paying particular attention to them.
What do you think?
- Seong Jae shouldn't have come on. - He seems to be...
- very flustered. - I have no idea.
He wasn't even born when they were popular.
- Is he that young? - Of course he is.
I think Baby Ghost,
based on the characteristics other than his voice,
I can only think of a few people who are that short,
- maybe it's Lee Gye In... - Lee Gye In isn't short.
- and Eom Yong Soo. - Eom Yong Soo?
That's who I was reminded of,
but I realised that his voice is incredibly clear.
- When I was younger, - You are right.
there was a singer who opened the world of dance music...
in Korea. I think he is that singer.
His other talents are overshadowed by his dancing skills,
- but he composes and writes lyrics. - He is the best.
He has experimented a lot with music.
He even made a rap song for English lessons.
I believe he used to be in a children's choir.
- Is that so? - To be honest,
he is so old that he doesn't deserve a baby ghost mask.
If he is the one who I am thinking, he is an amazing singer.
- He is incredible. - I see.
Gu Ra said...
- that you made an English rap song. - He did.
Could you say something in English for us?
Okay. 1, 2, 3, 4.
Let's go. Yes.
Yes, come on.
Come on.
(Beatboxing)
(Did he beatbox?)
That was beatboxing. Do you know how to do that?
(Beatboxing)
My goodness.
(My goodness)
It sounds like he can rap, too.
Gu Ra wasn't lying.
It was the first time on this show...
to see two masked singers dancing in harmony...
during a duet performance.
Let's have the two singers...
do a retro dance together.
(I'm excited.)
Give us the music.
(Music starts.)
(Sticking his arms out)
(Square's Dream grabs everyone's attention.)
(Dancing)
(I can't lose.)
(Wow)
Look at him.
(Incredible)
Look at him.
(Impressive)
(He is a dancing machine.)
(He can even moonwalk.)
My goodness.
(Ta-da)
(It's my turn.)
(Body wave)
My goodness.
(It looks as if he is hanging on the washing line.)
- That was great. - All right. Let's stop here.
My goodness.
- I know who he is. - Do you mean Square's Dream?
- He did the Vertex Dance. - Right.
And who made the dance famous?
- Kim Soo Ro? - No, it's not him.
It's Lim Hyung Jun.
Private Lim Hyung Jun.
I will become the best soldier in the team.
(He is a member of the group who made Vertex Dance popular.)
- Lim Hyung Jun. - I think he is Lim Hyung Jun.
I think I know who Baby Ghost is.
Is Bo Ram doing well?
- Who? - Is Bo Ram doing well?
- That's what I wanted to ask. - Who is Bo Ram?
- Do you think he is Jeon Young Rok? - Yes.
- Bo Ram is his daughter. - He wouldn't do the robot dance.
- He isn't Jeon Young Rok? - He wouldn't do the robot dance.
(The best singer of the 80s)
(Jeon Young rok is a legend.)
- You think he is Jeon Young Rok. - That's my guess.
- Sae Rom is pretty young. - Seriously.
Do you know the Korean Alphabet Dance?
(It's a dance that represents an era.)
(Is this the one who Muzie and Gu Ra are thinking?)
Do you know the dance move?
- I know. - Do you know it?
Yes.
Can you please show it to us?
Baby Ghost, there are three versions of it.
Small, large and extra-large.
I have no idea what he is talking about.
- You don't know that? - I can't believe this.
You know that. It is like this.
You can do that. Please show us.
I will show you what I can do.
(It looks somewhat unnatural.)
I bet you saw it on TV.
Yes, I've seen it many times.
Please show us the small version.
I don't want to.
He doesn't want to do that.
Okay. I will announce the result of the second match.
Who will go to Round Two?
(He's got a good sense of rhythm and stable breath.)
(Baby Ghost has got a clear and cool voice.)
(His husky voice sounds attractive.)
(Square's Dream sang in a leisurely manner.)
Amongst those two masked singers,
who will be the winner?
- Baby Ghost! - Baby Ghost!
Square's Dream!
Who will be the winner?
(Baby Ghost? Square's Dream?)
Who will be the winner?
Baby Ghost? Square's Dream? The winner is...
Square's Dream.
(Square's Dream)
Square's Dream wins!
Square's Dream wins.
- I knew it. - Square's Dream wins.
(I can't believe this.)
Square's Dream defeats Baby Ghost...
and goes to Round Two.
The votes were 61 to 38.
Square's Dream is the winner. Please give him a round of applause.
(Baby Ghost will reveal his identity soon.)
(I must be dreaming.)
Congratulations.
(There is hope for Square's Dream.)
I was glad that I could sing on the stage.
I will try my best for the next round.
(I won!)
Who is he then?
Is he the person Muzie and Gu Ra mentioned?
Or is he someone else that no one anticipated?
Baby Ghost will reveal his identity.
(Baby Ghost will reveal his identity.)
He was a good dancer.
He was good at dance music.
He even wrote an English rap music.
I wonder if Bo Ram of T-ARA is doing well.
Do you know the dance move?
("Don't Say Goodbye" by Lee Seung Chul)
(Admiring)
(He sounds different from when he sang a duet.)
(I like it.)
(He sings calmly with his peaceful voice.)
(They listen to the song attentively.)
(With his deep vibrato,)
(Baby Ghost touches the people's heart.)
(They hooked into the song.)
It's time.
Skipping Baby Ghost.
Please take off your mask...
and reveal your identity.
(Oh my goodness)
He is...
(Who is he?)
Please take off your mask and reveal your identity.
He is...
a singer with 28 years of experience,
Park Nam Jung.
A singer with 28 years of experience,
Park Nam Jung.
A singer with 28 years of experience,
- Park Nam Jung. - Park Nam Jung! Yes!
(Greeting him with his dance moves)
He's a big star.
(He is Nam Jung!)
(They sing along with their hands clasping.)
(It's been a long time since he sang on a stage.)
(But his appearance and voice have never changed.)
(He is a popular dance singer, but he's good at singing a ballad song.)
(Now he is in his 50s.)
(He will be a star in everyone's mind forever.)
(We missed you.)
Baby Ghost revealed his identity.
He is the Michael Jackson of Korea.
He is Park Nam Jung.
(His song "Missing You" was sensationally popular.)
(And he made a big hit with his next songs.)
Park Nam Jung!
Congratulations, Park Nam Jung!
(He was one of the most popular singers at that time.)
He is the first generation dance singer of Korea, Park Nam Jung.
How do you feel?
I can't usually sing that well,
but become better when I come on the stage.
I mentioned the English rap song. Isn't it true?
- He wrote it. - Did you write it?
He rapped in English.
Can you please show us a little bit of it?
Answer for, Be responsible for
Anything but and Not at all
(What was that?)
Is it for a test?
Responsible for. I knew it.
You need "for" after the word "responsible".
It has all the idioms you need to know for the college entrance exam.
- It is educational. - It must be...
very useful.
But it didn't sell well.
What is this?
(The stock piled up in his house back in 2007.)
Let's listen to it.
(What is he talking about?)
Repeat after him.
Our work place
You should sing it. You wrote this song.
This is too fast.
What are you talking about? You wrote it.
I think it should be one dollar for a box.
A dollar for a box?
When they first heard the song,
they were confused if it should be classified as music or as education.
It is very ambiguous.
So I had the albums at home.
And one day,
I sold it to someone at a cheap price.
It was too ahead of the time.
That's too bad.
Hyung Seok, what do you think? When Park Nam Jung was popular,
dance singers had to be good at singing...
as well as dancing.
It was more like a one-man show back then.
A singer had to do everything alone including singing and dancing.
They had to fill the stage alone.
So it required more power and skills...
to be a singer back then.
And I could see that he still has got the power and skill.
I admire him for his talent.
Before he came onto the stage,
he told us about his goal...
which is returning back to his best days.
When I made my debut in the spotlight,
there were not many dance singers.
That means I didn't have any rivals whom I could compete with.
I'm sorry to say this,
but I thought I was the best. So I didn't practise at all.
Then...
I took a break as a singer.
After some time, when I came back,
the industry had changed.
If you could return to your best time,
you'd have practised harder to be a better singer.
I can see how you feel.
I am a dance singer myself.
I was honoured and thankful to see...
his performance here as he was a huge star.
When I was young, my father liked...
his popular dance moves.
Can you please dance to the song "Missing You" for us?
Then let's see...
his trademark dance moves.
(The is the first time in 30 years that he is dancing to this song.)
(He looks excited.)
(Wow!)
(He does a gorgeous turn.)
(He used to sing amid deafening cheers.)
(He was such a legend on stage.)
(Even if it's been a long time since he last performed the song,)
(his dance skills are still great.)
(Here we go!)
(The steps that made people go wild.)
(He is a dancing machine.)
(Here is his trademark Korean Alphabet Dance.)
(The Panellists imitate his dance moves.)
(Through "King of Mask Singer",)
(the music transcends generations.)
(Class is timeless.)
Goodness.
(The feelings from the music have not changed at all.)
- Yes! - Wow!
(The dancing machine, Park Nam Jung)
He is the Michael Jackson of Korea.
He is amazing.
- I was really impressed. - He is still good after 30 years.
Even after 30 years.
Thank you for your fabulous performance.
He showed us his great singing that used to be overshadowed...
by his great dancing. He's the Michael Jackson of Korea.
Please encourage him with a round of applause.
(We'll look forward to your passionate performance.)
(You are wonderful.)
- Did you have fun? - Yes.
(He feels great after doing his best on the stage.)
Whenever I can see myself...
on mirrors or windows,
I habitually practise dance moves.
My daughters often catch me dancing,
and they try to stop me.
If you can dance, you can at least attract people's attention.
People like to watch dancing.
That could be good or bad for me.
If I don't dance,
people are likely not to pay attention to me.
They lose interest.
I wanted to show that,
I can sing this kind of song but I didn't have the opportunity.
I wanted to show a different side of me...
as a singer.
I felt like I was singing in my first audition.
I was nervous.
Even though I was eliminated,
the panellists were very encouraging.
I didn't expect that I would get so many compliments.
I feel elated.
(He's recharged.)
Angled Life Square's Dream has defeated Park Nam Jung.
He goes on to Round Two.
As soon as this show starts broadcasting, the viewers can...
go online and cast your vote for your favourite mask singer.
Your participation will be greatly appreciated.
Round One, the duet match, is still going on.
We'll start the third match of Round One.
(Third match of Round One)
The third match of Round One.
The unrelenting parade of his voice.
The Music Commander In My Town.
(What is Music Commander's resolution?)
I'm the Music Commander in this district.
(The Music Commander comes on to the stage with confidence.)
He is playing the drums.
Is it a tin drum?
Welcome.
His opponent is...
the singing gold medallist who represents Korea.
I Am The National Athlete.
(He is skiing.)
(Full of energy)
I Am The National Athlete.
I will prove that...
I'm the real national athlete.
(The National Athlete is fired up and ready to go.)
- Oh! - Wow!
- Ski jumping! - Show us ski jumping.
(She imitates ski jumping.)
(The National Athlete is wearing a thick overcoat.)
(The Music Commander is in a "The Nutcracker" costume.)
(They look like an ill-matched duet.)
(But the Mask Singers always show us performances that are memorable.)
(The Music Commander is wearing a cute costume.)
(The tough looking National Athlete)
("Like a Night on Saturday" by Kim Jong Chan)
(His fingers are dancing.)
(The Music Commander gets into the rhythm.)
(He's good.)
His voice is as refreshing as a soft drink.
(Surprised)
(The National Athlete sings powerfully.)
(Who is he?)
(His attractive voice is wild and manly.)
(On the other hand,)
(The Music Commander's voice is high and clear.)
(I'm excited.)
He is overflowing with power.
(He sings the high notes comfortably.)
(They create a unique harmony.)
(House band)
(He sounds familiar.)
(Surprised)
(The Music Commander enjoys the music.)
(The National Athlete keeps dancing awkwardly.)
(The two masked singers with unique characters)
(Who in the world...)
(are they?)
Gosh, who are they?
The bodies of both are stiff.
I have no clue.
He hasn't even shown us 10 percent of his full capability.
The third match of Round One was also...
a competition between male singers.
They showed you a joyful performance.
Whose voice lingers longer in your mind?
Please press number one for Music Commander.
Please press number two for National Athlete.
Please press the button for the masked singer...
whose voice you want to listen to in the next round.
Please press the button to decide the winner of the third match.
Who will be the winner of this battle?
All votes are in.
Please say hello to the viewers.
Music Commander will go first.
Hello.
I'm the Music Commander...
In My Town.
All right.
Like a good commander,
he's quite charismatic.
I'm the...
(Startled)
National Athlete and I'm here...
- to beat the King of Mask Singer. - Okay.
(Both masked singers have unique personalities.)
He seems to be a little bit tough.
Young Seok, you watched their performance with a smile.
The two singers were in stark contrast.
It was interesting.
One of them sang like a cute wildcat.
- Wildcat? - Yes.
The other one sang like an angry brown bear.
As he showed us a powerful roar...
- that was even threatening, - Right.
the contrast was very charming.
- Can I offer an unpopular opinion? - Yes, of course.
I think Music Commander is...
- a great singer. - Okay.
Even when he was singing the high notes,
he didn't even sound like he was trying at all.
It never looked like he was straining his voice.
In gaming terms, I got the feeling that...
he was using only the mouse when we're supposed...
to be using both the mouse and the keyboard.
Kim Young Seok?
This person is most definitely a singer.
Even without considering his notes and vibrato,
he knows how to use his microphone like...
pulling his microphone away when singing the last note.
So I think he's a singer.
- He's a singer? - Yes, judging from his skills.
But I'm actually confused whether he's male or female.
- Isn't he a guy? - He's not a guy?
- I think it's a lady. - What?
You're unsure because of his voice?
I think the singer is a she.
- It's a she? - Yes.
I think the singer is obviously a male.
No, I think the singer is a she.
If he's male,
the two singers should vocalise in the same range,
- but the singer didn't. - It felt like the voice was lower.
- That's how I feel. - Also, it seems that...
she wore an outfit purposefully to make her look shorter.
- What do you mean? - Her legs...
(She is trying to appeal she isn't short.)
The trousers itself are pretty long.
Do you think a lady could make such a gesture?
I think her trousers is a tool to fake her true identity.
Well...
I have mixed feelings.
He says he has mixed feelings.
Then, let's try and analyse their breathing pattern.
Cho Jang Hyuk, what do you think?
- I think he breathes like a man. - A man.
I think the sound that...
Music Commander has...
is in itself...
- very androgynous. - Okay.
I think he's a singer who could...
- easily sing high notes. - Okay.
- You think it's misleading? - Yes, the voice is misleading.
- I think... - The National Athlete?
Yes, the National Athlete.
Doesn't everyone come out here with a goal?
He said he's here to be the King of Mask Singer.
He's supposed to shout a little bit when he sings,
but he kept breaking it. And I can't tell if he did it on purpose...
or if he isn't skilled enough to do it.
You can think of me...
as an onion.
- Okay. - And how can we see that?
There are many events for the real National Athletes, right?
He has written down that...
his special talent is aerobics.
Let's see what charms he would offer.
Please give us aerobics music.
(Hey.)
(Shivering)
(Fancy steps)
(But...)
(he seems to be repeating the same moves.)
(Is he good?)
(That's it.)
His body movements were very rhythmical and smooth.
He really looked like a national athlete.
- I think... - You can't be too smooth.
It has to be restrained.
His moves were too fluid.
- So it can't be a talent? - Should we make Bong Sun try?
- Shin Bong Sun? - If...
we're talking aerobics, there are a few points to follow.
Can you give me the music?
That's it. That's how you do it.
(Powerful and rhythmic)
- That's how you do it. - That's it.
You have to shake your head like that.
(It's important to shake your head regardless of your body.)
- Stop. Stop. - Restrained moves.
Wow.
Yes. Hyun Cheol, is this how it's done?
- That's right. - Your moves have to be sharp.
- National Athlete. - Yes.
I don't understand his motive of coming out here.
- I think he... - I am the National Athlete.
(I am the National Athlete.)
(He's too loud.)
- What? - What was that?
- He has quite a temper. - Is that how you would describe it?
He is quite annoyed right now.
Then why don't you show us your another talent?
One thing's for sure. He isn't a television celebrity.
(He isn't a television celebrity.)
- He isn't for television? - Right.
- I think he's a talented athlete. - I agree.
- Okay, an athlete. - Yes, I agree.
I think, overall,
he is a newbie to variety shows.
Being an athlete and a newbie to variety shows,
he could be Ahn Jung Hwan, in my opinion.
- It's hard to talk with him. - He is hurt?
And you tell me I don't know football?
I do this out of trust for you.
Then don't do it.
He just told me I don't know football.
(Seong Ju has taken him under his wing.)
Wouldn't you be mad?
- He's an athlete who can sing? - Yes.
I think he is actually...
really good at aerobics,
but if he showed us his true skills, he's worried...
- we would know who he is. - Right.
- I think he might be Jang Jae Keun. - Jang Jae Keun?
Okay, 1, 2 and 3 to the right.
(Has Jang Jae Keun come on our show?)
Jang Jae Keun.
He was an actual National Athlete.
Whilst we were being...
captivated by National Athlete,
The Music Commander here, whom we have forgotten about,
tells me he also has a special talent.
This person is good at self-defence martial art.
Yes. He will show you a little bit of martial arts.
National Athlete,
are you good at kicking?
I'm good at Taekwondo.
He's good at Taekwondo.
- If you would try to kick me, - Really.
- I will demonstrate. - He wants the attention.
You will be surprised, though.
- Then, show us. - This guy's funny.
- He seems a little bit aggressive. - He's a charming man.
Seong Ju, I've wanted to hit you for a while.
I've wanted to hit you for a while.
Okay. I can feel the tension.
It's not an actual physical fight. Just show us the martial arts.
Don't go overboard. Good.
Let's see the Music Commander's martial arts.
(Come here.)
Who should initiate the fight?
The National Athlete should go in so that he can block you.
He's the one demonstrating. You can't ask him to come to you.
Good. The National Athlete.
(Stretching)
(You're cool.)
(He's content.)
(What?)
Stop.
What is he doing?
It's martial arts. Block him.
Make him fall.
- I want to punch both of them. - I see.
Seong Ju, did you know this was going to happen?
- I didn't. - Okay.
If you knew, we would have fired you.
I think I...
- Yes, Seong Jae? - My sixth sense is activating.
- You finally have something. - Yes.
- It took him so long. - He's hard to guess, though.
He couldn't make any guess in the first and second match,
but in the third, he finally has a guess.
I was on "Real Men" before.
- Right. - Yes.
I think they were with me when I was on that show.
Who were they?
I think it's Henry and Kim Dong Hyun.
Henry and Kim Dong Hyun?
- Wow. - Jab. Jab. I'm sorry.
- I didn't mean to. - No problem.
- I will let you. - Good.
Can I use more power, then?
(It does seem like the martial arts we saw earlier.)
(The Music Commander is Henry.)
Dong Hyun has a clumsy side.
- Right, it's Kim Dong Hyun. - Yes.
- Kim Dong Hyun has... - Kim Dong Hyun from UFC.
He has huge jaws.
- The helmet is to cover that up? - It's Kim Dong Hyun.
- His huge jaw. - The gestures are the same, too.
That's right.
- The National Athlete is... - It's him.
And not many people have the nerve to shout like that.
His voice wasn't digitally altered just now.
- And... - His voice isn't altered.
Be quiet.
Our staff can alter your voice when they get the cue.
Okay. Calm down now.
- I'm almost certain it's Dong Hyun. - You're right. It's him.
He likes to play around like that.
Good. We will stop with our guesses here.
We will now reveal the results for...
the third match of Round One.
The performance of these two men was filled with joy and a good feel.
Who will be the masked singer...
to move on to Round Two?
Let's see who won the third match.
(The Music Commander with his sharp, androgynous voice)
(The National Athlete with his tough, sentimental singing style)
Between these two,
who is the masked singer of your choice,
the one that will move on to...
Round Two?
(King of Mask Singer)
It's...
I'm so curious.
(Who will we see again next week?)
Is it the National Athlete or the Music Commander?
The winner is...
(King of Mask Singer)
The Music Commander wins.
(Congratulations.)
The Music Commander.
(She's disappointed.)
Music Commander wins.
The Music Commander beats the National Athlete.
The vote difference was pretty big.
Seventy nine to twenty.
There was a 60 vote difference.
They are shaking hands.
Music Commander will have to prepare for the next round.
Please give him a round of applause.
(In a moment, the National Athlete will reveal himself.)
(The Music Commander carefully climbs down the stairs.)
I think if I don't worry too much,
it brings me a good result.
I want to take the throne.
It's time to reveal the National Athlete's identity.
Whilst listening to the song he has prepared for the next round,
we will finally see who is beneath the mask.
Please give him a round of applause.
Since he is new to a variety show, he could be Ahn Jung Hwan.
I don't think he is in the entertainment business.
I think he is Chang Jae Keun.
I think he is Kim Dong Hyun.
It is Kim Dong Hyun.
- It's Kim Dong Hyun. - The UFC fighter.
("Sad Promise" by Kim Jung Min)
I don't think it's Kim Dong Hyun.
It's Kim Dong Hyun.
(Is this really Kim Dong Hyun's voice?)
I think it's him.
(His voice is rough.)
(His voice is rough, but full of emotions.)
(So good)
(Everyone is immersed in his husky voice.)
Now.
The National Athlete, please take off your mask...
and reveal your identity.
(Surprised)
(The audience seems very surprised.)
I can't wait.
(It is Kim Dong Hyun, right?)
- It's him, right? - It is.
(Attentive)
Please reveal your identity.
He is...
the retired dancing athlete, Park Ji Woo.
He is the retired dancing athlete, Park Ji Woo.
No way.
(Dazed)
It's Park Ji Woo.
That's incredible.
- My goodness. - Who would have guessed?
He is the retired dancing athlete, Park Ji Woo.
(He was the first Asian to place second...)
(at the World Latin Championship.)
(He is a dancing athlete with ground-breaking records.)
We will begin with the right foot. Let's go.
Let's check out Park Ji Woo and Park Ji Eun's performance.
(He works hard to popularise dance sport.)
In 2, 3, cha-cha-cha.
That's right.
(Dance sport master, Park Ji Woo)
Quickly, quickly. This is how you do it.
- He does this. - There.
You know? Hips. Use your hips.
Right foot, left foot, cha-cha-cha.
(Park Ji Woo challenged himself by singing on the stage.)
(Today, Park Ji Woo sings instead of dancing.)
(No one could have guessed it was Park Ji Woo.)
It's good to see him again.
(No one could have guessed it was Park Ji Woo.)
(The National Athlete with a quirky personality was Park Ji Woo.)
You worked hard to conceal your sense of rhythm...
and danced sloppily.
- I enjoyed the dance, Bong Sun. - My goodness.
- You were very good at it. - I'm embarrassed to have done it.
- I'll call you. - She bragged in front of an expert.
We need to see his dance.
He will change into comfortable clothes.
- He can't dance in a jumper. - Right.
Give us the music.
(Give us the music.)
(Flexible)
(Is he really the National Athlete from before?)
(This is how a professional dancer looks like.)
(Can people make some noise?)
(Of course we can.)
(He commands the stage with experience and ease.)
(He is the master of dance.)
(He is the best.)
That was amazing.
Did you see how smooth he was?
- And his facial expressions. - You saw his facial expressions.
You saw how he asked people to give him a round of applause.
I feel the happiest when I dance.
Today, he concealed his talent for dancing...
and gave the audience a nice performance with his voice alone.
Please give Park Ji Woo a round of applause.
Thank you. Thank you.
Good job.
(The tension leaves him.)
Dancing makes me happier.
I express myself with my body.
It was a new experience for me...
to express my emotions on the stage through my voice.
I wondered if I would be able to deliver emotions with my voice.
The cheer of the audience almost gave me a heart attack.
Really, I loved it.
I used to be a dance sport athlete.
I plan to dedicate myself to popularising dance sport in Korea.
Please continue to give your support to dance sport.
I will work harder as a dancer.
Wish me luck.
The Music Commander defeated Park Ji Woo...
and moved on to Round Two.
Here are the masked singers of the fourth match of Round One.
This is the fourth match of Round One.
She is the woman every man loves.
The Space Beauty Maetel.
(She carries a silver suitcase as if she is going on a trip.)
(Welcome.)
It's Maetel.
It's been a long time.
Opposing her is a desperate boy with longing in his voice.
Finding Mum Tetsuro.
(He runs to look for his mum.)
(I will kill all evil men.)
(Everyone is surprised that Tetsuro is Maetel's opponent.)
It's Tetsuro.
- That Tetsuro is too big. - He is quite tall.
He has a heavy build.
The train rushes
Through the darkness
- They are nicely dressed. - He is in Tetsuro's outfit.
I have a feeling they are good singers.
(One of them will have to get off the train.)
("Fate" by Travel Sketch)
(He has a very charming voice.)
(Impressed)
(My goodness)
(Her voice is like a drop of honey.)
(The panellists are impressed.)
Isn't this nice?
I love it.
It is the best harmony.
- She is Kim Nam Joo of Apink. - Nam Joo?
- Yes. - She came here before.
She did?
(He's got a clear voice of great volume.)
(Meanwhile, Maetel's voice is more delicate.)
(His voice is still stable even in a high note.)
(The audience is impressed by that.)
(Maetel has not only deep emotions but also great singing skills.)
(Their harmony puts a smile on the people's faces.)
(Their different voice and charms made the best harmony.)
I wish they were a couple.
They look so good together.
No, they are a mother and a son in the animation.
The fourth match of Round One is over.
The two main stars of an animation...
met as rivals in King of Mask Singer.
Who will be the last masked singer going to Round Two?
Please press your button for the masked singer you liked better.
All votes are in.
- Seong Ju. - Yes.
When Dana dropped out last week,
I told you this.
The producers who organised that should be punished.
(KCM and Dana sang "A Wound Deeper Than Love" together.)
(It was like the final match.)
Why did they sing together in Round One?
I can't decide.
The producer should be punished.
(The producer should be punished.)
Is that the producers...
want to fight against the public?
This is ridiculous.
As we have Catgirl who is seeking for her sixth victory,
they had to find out great singers.
Please say hello to the viewers.
Hello. I'm Space Beauty Maetel.
Thank you.
She is Maetel of "The Galaxy Express 999".)
He is Tetsuro.
Hello.
I'm Finding Mum Tetsuro.
(He looks rebellious but cute.)
Tetsuro looks like a bad kid.
Did you just mimic Tetsuro's voice?
Yes.
It sounded a little bit similar.
He doesn't look like Tetsuro though.
He rather looks like Yook Joong Wan.
He is Yook Joong Wan.
Really? Does he look like Yook Joong Wan?
- He is Yook Joong Wan. - He insists it is Tetsuro.
It seems Yu Young Seok...
is very attracted to him.
I think Tetsuro's voice...
makes people happy and pleased.
- I see. - From the beginning,
his voice sounded joyful.
It made me feel happy.
It was good to hear his voice.
And he has a voice of great volume.
- He does? - Yes.
Just like the animation, Maetel has...
a very soft and delicate voice.
So it makes people listen carefully.
It was very fascinating.
Maetel made me approach her...
while Tetsuro approaches me himself.
And I couldn't stop him approaching me...
and I couldn't stop approaching her.
I see.
(They have their magnetic charms.)
She makes you approach her and he approaches you himself.
I like that expression.
Maetel has great basic singing skills.
Her breath, vibrato and even vocalization were great.
I guess she studied applied music at the college.
- Okay. - And I think...
Tetsuro sings breathing out.
And he sings shouting...
rather than being delicate.
So I assume he is a musical actor.
It seems both of them are fallen for the masked singers' charms.
Yuk Seong Jae.
I saw you muttering whilst they were singing.
I felt something for sure at this time.
You sensed something?
If I get it wrong again,
I won't say about my sixth sense ever again.
Are you sure?
- Both of them are idol singers. - They are idol singers?
Both of them?
I'm the host of a music programme.
So I've seen many idol singers.
From the gestures she made whilst singing,
I think she is Wendy of Red Velvet.
(Lively song and bouncy choreography)
(This would be what Seong Jae saw in the music programme.)
(How can he tell she is Wendy with her gesture?)
- And Tetsuro is... - Tetsuro?
- Kang In, I think. - Kang In?
Super Junior?
- His body looks like Kang In. - Kang In does have a pot-belly.
And he has...
a touch voice like Tetsuro.
(He is a vocalist with a sweet voice of Super Junior.)
(He's got Kang In's voice and body shape?)
The producer just told me...
Seong Jae said that with an intention.
I just got the message.
He mentioned Wendy of Red Velvet...
(Seong Jae feels nervous for no reason.)
because his wife in "We've Got Married"...
is a member of Red Velvet.
So he mentioned Wendy...
to promote her group.
The producer just pointed it out.
Is that true?
I really didn't mean it.
In the programme "We've Got Married",
Why are you blushing?
His face turned red.
In fact, I met Wendy in the programme.
I saw her gesture there.
And I could recognise her voice.
Then you should have said that she was Joy.
She's not Joy.
Do you think Joy is better than her?
- That would be silly. - You think?
When I saw Maetel,
she looked very calm.
I bet she is a singer with more than 10 years of experience.
That's my guess.
Maetel told us that her special talent...
is dancing.
It would help you guessing her age.
Let's watch Maetel dancing.
Please play the music.
(Fast beats)
(She starts clapping to warm up.)
(Then she shakes her pelvis.)
(Stiff)
(Floundering)
(The dance moves look somewhat familiar.)
(It was popular 10 years ago.)
(Dominating the stage)
(She should be old to know the dance move.)
(And the next dance move is...)
(more like floundering.)
(She looks old and experienced.)
That's it.
Maetel is amazing.
Tetsuro, can you also dance?
- Yes. - He says he can dance as well.
You can guess his age and job with his dance.
Please play the music.
(He rolls up the cape.)
(Then he shows off his wave.)
(He tries to look young dancing.)
(Bang!)
(What was that?)
Oh no.
(Maetel starts dancing, too.)
(Tetsuro dances with her.)
(Pulling her)
Oh! Wow!
(It is a new type of couple dance.)
(Wow!)
(As Tetsuro shoots Maetel,)
(Maetel is pulled by him on a rope.)
It was great.
- Wow. - Maetel!
They didn't talk about it in advance.
She is so good at mime.
She's good at mime?
She doesn't dance in a choreography.
I don't mean to make an evaluation or something though.
She is a diva.
I know. I think she's got...
her own dance moves in a variety of ways.
- Okay. - Her dancing...
reminds me of someone.
(Who is that?)
Yuri of...
- Girls' Generation. - Yuri?
She is good at dancing.
She is not afraid of dancing the funky chicken.
She dances anything whenever people asks.
So I recall Yuri watching her dancing.
(She is a singer with great dance skills and talent.)
(Is Maetel really Yuri?)
- Girls' Generation. - I got it.
- I know who she is. - Who is that?
Is she...
- Jeon Hye Bin? - She is Jeon Hye Bin?
(She was famous for her endless turning.)
(She is also a very talented dancer.)
- She used to be a singer. - Yes, she was a singer.
Objectively speaking,
she is a good dancer for sure.
But she's not good at singing.
If she sang that well, she wouldn't have quit singing.
- She doesn't sing anymore? - She is an actress now.
- We have to say objectively. - All right.
Yuri is not good at singing, either.
She would've become a solo singer if she was good.
All members of Girls' Generation are good at singing.
- Are they your friends? - I'm only one or two years older.
(I'm only one or two years older.)
Your assumption that she's much older is a stereotype.
Yoo A, how long does it take to be as good at dancing as she?
Can you show your dancing, too?
- Me? - Sure.
Could you show us your dancing?
Why don't you give the same music to her?
How about we watch Yuk Seong Jae dancing, as well?
- Let's see him dance. - Yuk Seong Jae, show us.
Why don't you two dance together?
- Let the two dance together. - That sounds good.
We'll look forward to their dancing as good as Maetel and Tetsuro's.
Please give them music.
(Extra dance time)
(Yoo A begins dancing.)
(Seong Jae shakes his hips.)
(The two idol singers have great dance skills.)
He steps backward.
(He draws an arrow.)
He releases it.
(She catches the arrow.)
(The arrow returns to Seong Jae.)
(At this time, it hits the target.)
(She is being dragged to him.)
- Wow, they are good. - They did very well.
- Yoo A, you are great. - Yoo A!
You are the dancing queen.
(You are the dancing queen.)
Hey, Gu Ra.
My goodness.
- "You are the dancing queen." - I say "You are the dancing queen."
I see. It was their nice dancing.
The duo showed us as great dance as the contenders'.
Here are Tetsuro and Maetel.
We are curious who they can be.
We'll announce the result...
of the last match of Round One.
A mixed fate of the two characters...
from an animation.
Let's see the result right now.
It was a battle between Maetel and Tetsuro.
(His delightful voice tone)
(And his rich voice)
(Tetsuro's voice sticks in your mind.)
(She has delicate and tender sensibility.)
(Maetel's voice makes you prick up your ears.)
The winner who can advance to the next round is...
The winner is...
(King of Mask Singer)
Tetsuro! Go Tetsuro!
- Maetel! - Who will win?
(The moment of destiny approaches.)
Maetel versus Tetsuro.
(King of Mask Singer)
The winner is...
(Finding Mum Tetsuro wins.)
Tetsuro has won.
(Wow!)
(Is it an unexpected result for the panellists?)
(Astounded)
(It's great.)
Tetsuro has beaten Maetel and goes on to Round Two.
He has won by only seven votes.
The score was 46 versus 53. In the close match,
Tetsuro won.
(Tetsuro will advance to Round Two.)
What do I do? I'm in a daze.
Well...How...How could I...
I feel quite bewildered. I really thank you.
Who can be Maetel?
Let's listen to her solo song that she prepared for the next round.
And let's see who she is. Please give her a big hand.
She mastered the basics.
Her singing is so delicate that it makes you focus on her voice.
Wendy of Red Velvet?
She must have at least over 10 years of experience.
Yuri of Girls' Generation came to my mind at once.
- Jeon Hye Bin? - She is Jeon Hye Bin?
("Late Regret" by BoBo)
(Her tender sensibility stands out whilst singing solo.)
(Doesn't she sound Ben?)
(She calmly expresses regret and sorrow.)
(Her voice exquisitely expresses delicate emotions.)
(Who can have such a deep sensibility?)
Now please remove your mask...
and show us who you really are.
This is...
(Shocked)
This is...
- Who is she? - Who can she be?
Maetel, who is she?
(I hope my intuition was right.)
This is...
Wendy of Red Velvet.
(Seong Jae's intuition was right.)
Wow, I guessed right.
- My goodness! - Gosh!
- Did you know? - Seong Jae was right.
(The young generations know her.)
(We didn't know she can express such deep emotions.)
She is really good.
She sings well.
(Great power comes out of her small body.)
(She is excellent.)
(Wendy gave us a happy surprise.)
Now we know who Maetel was.
Maetel was Wendy of Red Velvet.
(A three-year-old girl group, Red Velvet)
(Their hit songs are "Ice Cream Cake", "Dumb Dumb" and "Happiness".)
(They once topped a real-time online music chart.)
(They have cute looks as well as great singing skills.)
(Wendy is the lead vocalist of Red Velvet.)
Yuk Seong Jae knew exactly who she was by intuition.
My intuition works finally.
- I was really surprised. - Were you surprised?
I was so surprised that I couldn't even move.
I couldn't only nod like this.
Could he figure out it was you...
- through another member Joy? - No, never.
- Can't it be possible? - No.
- I knew the colour of her hair. - But I'm wearing a wig today.
She's wearing a wig. But her hair has a similar colour.
I'm sure Joy tipped him off.
No, she never did that.
Could you really know her at first sight?
Yes, it's because she has her own hand movements.
And I watched her perform on another show the other day.
She sang at the music show.
Hold on.
Are you in love with her, instead of Joy?
Why have you been watching her?
- It's a coincidence. - Why did you watch her carefully?
You should have watched Joy more carefully.
It's not... I...
- Why is he stuttering? - Come on!
Why are you acting so strange? Joy might be watching.
My goodness.
Wendy is an MC for a music programme.
That must be why...
Seong Jae noticed her hand gestures and such.
Yes. That's right.
You are obviously flustered.
- It does make you look strange. - He is strange.
I heard it's your first time to sing alone...
in front of the audience.
I'm almost on the stage with the members of my group.
I have never sung a ballad song alone on the stage.
And since I get very nervous when I'm on the stage,
it's hard to show everything even though I practise a lot.
- The stage makes you anxious? - That's right.
- My goodness. - I get nervous without the members.
- You get more nervous. - I get really nervous.
Did it feel better to sing behind the mask?
- Yes, it was amazing. - I see.
- I was surprised. - It's an effect the mask has.
She sang Kim Hyung Seok's song for the solo stage.
How did you like her performance?
The notes in the song...
vary from very high to very low. It has a wide vocal range.
The fact that she pulled off the song at a young age tells me...
- that she has a musical talent. - Thank you.
You said that you get nervous without other members,
but you have an incredible talent inside of you.
So I hope you would sing with confidence.
- Thank you. - All right.
Your performance today...
was like a splendid debut stage...
for your possible future as a solo artist out of Red Velvet.
It will be the first of many stages to come.
Please give Wendy a big round of applause.
- Thank you. - Thank you for your hard work.
(Her hands shake from nervousness.)
I finally took off the mask.
I feel at ease.
I got over my stage fright.
I was so nervous about making a mistake.
Moreover, the song gets harder to sing towards the end.
But once I removed the mask, I felt relief.
My nervousness dissipated.
It was nice.
But it's nearly impossible for dance songs...
to touch people's hearts.
"This girl...
feels happy when she sings."
I think I was able to inspire that thought in people.
