The mysterious music show, King of Mask Singer.
Last week,
with his heartbreaking sorrow...
and his rich voice as deep as the sea,
he made his second successive victory.
He is the 47th and 48th King of Mask Singer,
Red Bean Warrior Anpan Prince.
(Red Bean Warrior Anpan Prince is here.)
(He is cute.)
We will warm up your frozen hands...
with our heartwarming songs.
The mysterious music show, King of Mask Singer. I am your...
unbiased show host, Kim Seong Ju. Nice to meet you.
(Choi Min Yong, Lee Soo Min)
Anpan Prince is now seeking his third successive victory.
Please say hello to our viewers.
In 1, 2, 3, 4.
(Singing)
Run, Anpan Prince
Fly, Anpan Prince
(He is charming.)
From what I heard,
Anpan Prince has outstanding passion for this program.
He is trying to live as Anpan Prince...
even in his daily life.
It's like he has become one with Anpan Prince.
Today's schedule.
(He is drawing up a list of his daily schedule.)
I've never drawn a circle this good before.
Spying on the movements of my opponents.
(It is an important work.)
Peeping at the opponents while eating.
(He is busy spying on other singers the whole day.)
I should practice singing.
(It's not easy to be on a winning streak.)
(Let's go for the third successive win.)
(Anpan Prince's daily schedule)
You seem to like your mask.
I don't even know when I will be taking off this mask.
Even just one second is too precious for me to live as Anpan Prince.
I will show you...
the upgraded performance of Anpan Prince today.
Okay.
Let me ask Gu Ra about Anpan Prince.
He is always in the know about what's happening.
Anpan Prince is getting positive responses.
But people still remember...
Music Commander or Catgirl...
who stayed on the throne for a long time.
Since he's just won twice, he still looks...
very much like a pushover.
(Dumbfounded)
- Many of his competitors... - Yes.
will come out on the show thinking...
- they can beat him enough. - I see.
He should be careful at times like this.
If he takes three or four more wins,
- he'll get much stronger. - I see.
To good singers, he looks still...
- much like a pushover. - Okay.
- Hyun Chul just said, - Yes?
"Should I join the competition, too?"
- He said so? - Yes.
- He said so? - He did.
- I agree with him. - Do you?
I'm trying much harder not to be a pushover.
All right. Please give him a round of applause.
- Let's go, Anpan Prince. - Let's go.
The mysterious music show, King of Mask Singer.
A fierce battle for King of Mask Singer.
The first match of Round One...
begins now with the first group.
(The first match begins now.)
(King of Mask Singer)
The first match of Round One.
(A gentleman shows up in front of a lady spending holidays in Rome.)
He captivates women's hearts.
A romantic voice that brings love.
Roman Gentleman Gregory Peck.
(Roman Gentleman Gregory Peck)
Mother, father, gentlemen
Please look forward to my gentle song.
(I'll sing truthfully.)
(Here comes the gentleman.)
What's he holding? It's the Mouth of Truth in the movie.
(You look awesome.)
His competitor starts...
(The icon of youth)
a rebellion...
to take the throne.
Hollywood Rebel James Dean.
(Hollywood Rebel James Dean)
James Dean's reasonable rebellion starts now.
(He appears on a motorcycle.)
(He's cool.)
He's coming up on stage on something. What is that?
(A luxurious motorcycle)
What motorcycle is that? I want that.
As the masks have men's faces,
they look more handsome with the masks on.
- They make my heart flutter. - They do.
(Even their masks make women's hearts flutter.)
Hang on. It's hot.
Be careful. It's hot.
(What performance will the two awesome men show...)
(against Anpan Prince who's making steamed buns very hard today?)
("This Song" by 2AM)
(This song is...)
It's your song, Seul Ong.
(It's Seul Ong's debut song.)
- The song I've heard so many times. - Yes.
I sang that part.
(His voice tone is as sweet as Seul Ong's.)
(Like fog that covers the sky slowly,)
(his pure trembling voice seeps into our hearts.)
(His clear voice tone feasts our ears.)
(Impressed)
(The sensibility of youth that aches our hearts like the winter wind)
(All I can give you is only this song)
(He delivers the lyrics with his truthful voice.)
(His truthful confession...)
(that wants to make you smile)
(The two men's pure love is well described in the performance.)
(You're the best.)
(James Dean's sweet and high-pitched voice touches our hearts.)
(I've heard of the voice before. Who is it?)
(The voice with undeniable charms)
(Who is it with this amazing voice?)
(A man who wants to do more good things for his woman)
(He expresses feelings in a delicate way.)
(Who is Gregory Peck?)
(Even though all I have is this voice,)
(I want to make you happy.)
(He shouts his last cry with all his heart.)
(Amazed)
(A sorrowful love song for her, "This Song")
(Look at that beautiful harmony.)
I love the last part they sang.
(Look at that beautiful harmony.)
(The original singer of the song is amazed, too.)
- They are good. - Gosh.
The first match of Round One...
has just finished.
Please say hello to our viewers, Gregory Peck.
Microphone test. This is interesting.
Hello.
I'm Roman Gentleman Gregory Peck.
(Welcome.)
Gregory Peck was in the movie, "Roman Holiday",
with Audrey Hepburn.
Hello.
I'm Hollywood Rebel James...
(James...)
(Dean)
(He's not used to using the microphone.)
He put the microphone away when he said Dean.
You should've used the microphone when you said Dean.
I'm James Dean.
That's how you do it.
- Well... - James Dean died young...
in his 20s. How did you feel about the song, Young Seok?
Both of their voices sound attractive in a different way.
Gregory Peck's voice is like...
breath you let out.
When you blow your breath on the window in winter,
it gets foggy.
When it gets foggy,
you write something down on it with your finger.
That's how I felt about his voice.
His voice sounds very clear.
Gregory Peck's voice sounds...
like that of an actor.
On the other hand, James Dean's voice is...
close to that of a singer.
- Okay. - Gregory sounds like an actor,
but his singing was far better...
than I expected.
I think...
the way Gregory Peck sings on stage seems to be...
at a disadvantage.
If you watch "Roman Holiday",
you would see the thing he held when he appeared.
- Right. - You can see it in the movie.
He put his fingers into...
the Mouth of Truth when he met with Audrey Hepburn.
Then he made his wish.
James Dean should put his fingers like him and makes a wish...
of his opponent's elimination.
- His wish should be granted. - Yes.
(The Mouth of Truth, I wish...)
(him to get eliminated.)
- The one putting fingers wins. - I see.
- You put them at the right time. - He did.
He doesn't know what the Truth of Mouth is used for at all.
(Sighing)
"This Song" is 2AM's song...
- which Seul Ong also sang. - Right.
Give Gregory...
- your thumps up. - Good.
- He captivates women's hearts. - He does.
Before I sang the song in the recording studio,
- I practiced it for six months. - Gosh.
Yes. The recording process went on 10 hours each day...
- for almost three weeks. - Really?
- You did? - It was my first debut song.
I put all of my heart into every word and even into breathing.
I know this song very well,
and the two sang the song very well.
- The half air and half sound? - Yes.
- They both used the technique. - Did they?
- Yes. They sing very well. - But...
Who do you think is Jeong Jin Woon?
(He bursts into laughing.)
- That's an important thing. - Okay.
- Who's Jin Woon and Chang Min? - Who's Jin Woon and Chang Min?
(Embarrassed)
Gu Ra thinks it's an important question.
- I think Gregory Peck is... - You should put in a good word.
Gosh, it's killing me.
Gregory Peck is killing you?
It's okay to be honest since it's your personal opinion.
- Gregory Peck is... - Is he Jeong Jin Woon?
- Jo Kwon. - Jo Kwon?
It changed to Jo Kwon.
- Jo Kwon. - Jo Kwon.
- Gregory Peck is Jo Kwon. - Jo Kwon.
- James Dean is... - Who is he?
- Lim Seul Ong. - Lim Seul Ong.
- Jo Kwon and Lim Seul Ong. - Then Lim Seul Ong will win.
(What?)
I realized something about them.
I saw many people sing "This Song".
This is what Gregory Peck did in the chorus.
I don't know if you will smile That's how he sang.
(He stressed "Smile".)
This is how James Dean sang. I don't know if you will smile
There was a subtle difference.
(He stressed the words equally.)
Most people who aren't singers...
sing the chorus like Gregory Peck.
It's information I have gathered over the past 10 years.
It's a great clue.
- I am sure James Dean is a singer. - He is a singer.
I don't think Gregory Peck is a singer.
- He is in a different profession. - He sang just as nicely.
I am sure of it.
The original artist of the song made a sharp observation.
Min Yong, what did you think of the performance?
I would first like to thank Seong Ju for giving me an opportunity...
to pick up my microphone and speak.
- You came prepared with a comment. - I made...
a promise to the public...
that I will leaf through an encyclopedia if I must...
and make more comments than Young Seok, Jang Hyuk, or Hyun Chul.
That was the promise I made.
You didn't get to talk a lot when you were here last time.
I monitored the episode, too.
What little I said was edited out.
I look forward to hearing great comments from you today.
- Please read your notes. - Gregory Peck...
showed us stage manners of a gentleman...
and a beautiful voice.
- It is like he is reading a book. - And...
(Don't read my notes.)
The performance made me want to learn from him.
- I will move on to James Dean. - James Dean.
Everyone has an experience of being rebellious...
in their younger days.
His performance made me remember...
the countless days of my rebellion.
- That's right. - Min Yong...
was writing something in the corner an hour before the shoot.
That means he would have made those comments to anyone.
It's no wonder...
- his comments are superficial. - He intently looked at pictures.
I hope you would speak from the heart the next time.
I showed my limitation.
I am here to listen to great music.
- Please be understanding. - You can do that at home.
Panelists must judge participants in place of viewers.
- I will write more. - All right.
I will ask you a few more times.
All right.
Now, we will hear their real voices.
Let's start with Gregory Peck.
He will imitate Donald Duck, the most famous duck in the world.
Let's hear your impression of Donald Duck.
(Speaking nonsense)
(I am a world-famous duck.)
He did a great job.
- He did a great job. - It was good.
He heated up the atmosphere.
This time, he will imitate a horse.
(Giddy-up)
(Breathing)
(Imitating a horse)
(My goodness.)
It was quite real.
He showed small tremors of a horse.
I think he is an actor who often appears on variety shows.
People who don't refrain from using their throats...
to show their specialties...
are usually comedians.
That's right.
Since 2017 is the Year of the Rooster,
he will imitate a rooster.
Give us a sad rooster.
(Cock-a-doodle-doo)
(Crying)
(He is sad that all of his friends are gone.)
That was sad. He imitates a sad rooster.
- It was mournful. - That's right.
This time, he will imitate an angry rooster.
(Cock-a-doodle-doo)
(I am so angry.)
(Wonderful)
You did a great job.
(He is like a copying machine of animal sound.)
That was incredible.
(The master of specialties finished showing his talent.)
All right.
(Startled)
You seem very nervous.
Didn't he do a great job?
He did so well...
- that I am worried. - Is that so?
James Dean will show us...
Fabulous Dance.
Music, please.
(James Dean's Fabulous Dance)
(Ta-da)
(He opens his arms.)
(Here he goes.)
(His movements are controlled.)
(He dances diligently.)
(Swaying)
He is fabulous.
(He is flexible like a snake.)
(He is quite fabulous.)
(He slowly returns to his place.)
(Is it over?)
All right.
(It was cool.)
I think James Dean...
is a member of an idol group.
Let's ask Soo Min.
She is the host of "Show! Music Core".
I am Lee Soo Min. It's nice to meet you.
Soo Min, isn't it too early for carols?
I think he is a musical singer,
not an idol singer.
- James Dean? - Yes.
- You think he is a musical singer. - I don't know...
how to explain.
He goes, "Bang!"
Bang?
It felt as if he was singing right in front of me.
Most singers who have that effect are musical singers.
That's what I felt from watching TV.
- He goes, "Boom!" - That's right.
Didn't Gregory Peck have that?
He did, but it was a bit different.
- It was like, "Ta-da!" - "Ta-da"?
- What is she saying? - James Dean went "Boom"...
and Gregory Peck went "Ta-da".
They are a bit different.
All right. Gregory Peck, you can't lose.
Can you dance?
(Of course I can.)
He wrote that it's Very Very Dance.
Are you ready? It's Very Very Dance. Music, please.
(How well can he dance?)
It's extraordinary.
(He gets ready.)
(He turns on the dance booster.)
(My goodness.)
Very Very Dance.
(Sexy)
(Cute)
(Fierce)
(He makes the audience fall for his charms.)
(Like this)
(Come on.)
(Ta-da)
(He is the best.)
You did an amazing job. You did an amazing job.
- He reminds me of Jo Kwon. - He is cute.
- That's right. - He reminds me of Jo Kwon.
My goodness.
- Who is he? - They are Jo Kwon and Lim Seul Ong.
- What is it? - Are you smelling your breath?
Is that it?
What are you doing?
- You are the worst. - Bong Sun.
- For goodness' sake. - What are you doing?
I have a hunch,
- but I want to observe some more. - Tell us. It's okay.
Who is he? Tell us. It's okay.
- Isn't he Kwang Hee? - Kwang Hee?
- He isn't Kwang Hee. - Do you mean Kwang Hee of ZE:A?
- Yes. - His voice is thicker.
His shoulder is too broad to be Kwang Hee's.
He isn't Kwang Hee.
Now,
I will announce the result of the first match of Round One.
What will be the fate of these two masked singers?
I'll now reveal the winner of this match.
(He has a husky voice that embraces the ears...)
(and leaves a lingering impression.)
(He is a sentimental vocalist with addictive charms.)
(His strong and delicate voice...)
(reveals years of experience.)
(He is a vocalist with a clear voice.)
Let's find out who will move on to Round Two.
The winner is...
- The winner is... - The winner is...
The winner is...
(Will Gregory Peck, the gentleman takes a win?)
(Will James Dean, the free-spirited man land a blow?)
(What will be the result of a match between manly men?)
Who is the winner...
of the first match of Round One? Please show the result.
James Dean won.
(The immortal icon, James Dean won.)
That's right.
He did a good job. He has a nice voice.
James Dean won.
James Dean became the winner.
With a score of 66 to 33,
James Dean becomes the first one to move on to Round Two.
Please return to your waiting room.
Please give him a big hand.
James Dean won...
and moved on to Round Two.
(Confused)
I will thoroughly prepare for Round Two and aim to win.
I will show you an explosive performance.
Please look forward to it.
He is the winner in terms of specialties.
His identity will be revealed now.
We will reveal his identity with a solo performance...
prepared for Round Two.
Please give him a big hand.
(He has a moist and tender voice.)
(He has talents of a singer.)
(He can imitate a galloping horse and an angry rooster.)
(Is he the master of variety shows, Jo Kwon?)
(Is he a comedian who sacrifices his throat to be funny?)
(Who could Gregory Peck be?)
("Some Longing" by Lee Eun Mee)
What is this song?
(The great song of all times, "Some Longing" by Lee Eun Mee)
(Surprised)
(As if he is not the same funny guy earlier,)
(he sings with his mellow voice like he's whispering.)
(His solid low-pitched voice...)
(sounds delicate yet strong.)
(It's the story you told me before.)
(Love hurts)
(More than)
(A sad breakup)
(He sings about his sad emotions with an ardent voice.)
Now, Gregory Peck, please take off your mask...
and reveal your face.
(Screaming)
He is...
What? What is it?
They're so excited.
Who is it?
(Who is the handsome Gregory Peck?)
Who is he?
Please take off your mask and reveal your face.
He is...
Lee Yi Kyung, an actor with six-year experience, and the scene stealer...
of "My Love from the Star" and "Descendants of the Sun".
(Is he Actor Lee Yi Kyung?)
(Wasn't he a comedian?)
(It's so nice to see you!)
It was Yi Kyung.
(He's so handsome.)
(It's a new side of Yi Kyung that no one has imagined.)
(He has a husky tone and a charming low voice.)
(Amazed)
(You're the best.)
(He is a solid vocalist with a deep resonance...)
(and a sincere voice.)
(He's amazing.)
(I light up your path)
("Some Longing" by Lee Yi Kyung, the song that conveyed his sad emotions)
(He's handsome.)
Gosh, he is so great.
(He captured men's hearts, too.)
He's so cool.
(Yi Kyung is an amazing singer.)
He's very good.
Hello, I'm Actor Lee Yi Kyung.
- It's good to see you. - All right.
I'll pay you back, okay?
(He debuted in 2012.)
I can't get any money standing here like this.
(He appeared on "Descendants of the Sun",)
(and made his present known among top stars.)
(He also started to appear on many variety shows, too.)
Break it at one go.
(He's actually a cute simpleton.)
(He groans in pain.)
(He also has made his way into musicals...)
(with his great love for music.)
(Lee Yi Kyung, a passionate actor who never stops trying to be better)
I heard that you told our staff...
that you really wanted to be...
your true self on our show.
Yes. I've often played strong characters...
or villains on TV shows and movies.
Even when I go to the restaurants, the owner asked me,
- "You're the villain, right?" - I see.
People hardly talk to me...
even when they see me outside.
- I guess I have sharp features, - Yes.
but as you could see today,
I'm a really funny guy.
You're right.
We didn't know.
It looks like you like music very much.
You sang different theme songs of TV shows,
and you were featured in many songs.
I haven't sung many songs,
but I gratefully accept opportunities to sing.
The person who gives me the chance might regret it later,
but I'm still grateful.
- For the opportunity. - Yes.
- You actively take those chances. - That's right.
Here is something so charming about him.
He's such a funny guy,
but the moment he starts signing,
he becomes very serious.
He has such a wide range of emotions that...
even most of the singers don't have.
He can sing only with those emotions.
- He doesn't need anything else. - I see.
Because of the roles he has played on TV shows,
people have bias on him that he'd be a cold and scary actor.
Today, he broke that bias and showed a great performance...
as a man who loves music.
It was Actor Lee Yi Kyung. Please give him a big hand.
(We'll look forward to your great performance this year.)
It was so much fun.
I want to sing here again, but I guess I can't.
I suppose the biggest reason why I wanted to come to this show...
was because I love to sing.
As I watched this show, I thought it'd be so great...
if I get to be on that stage.
That's what I always thought.
It was my first time to sing a duet with someone.
I practiced singing as I studied music with an expert.
I realized that not anyone can become professional singers.
I respect the singers. I really do.
I think I'll be able to be on many different shows from now on.
I'll be in my 30s soon, so I will try...
to show you more mature acting.
Happy New Year.
This is the result of Round One.
Hollywood Rebel James Dean defeated Lee Yi Kyung...
and moved on to Round Two.
The second match of Round One.
He's an immortal vocalist who will be with us forever.
God of Thunder Thor.
(God of Thunder Thor)
(He's ready for an electrifying stage.)
The King of Mask Singer the world will choose...
is me.
(Manly)
(He's still cute.)
Thor of the Avengers has come.
Gosh, look at that thunderbolt.
He has a very large built.
His opponent has...
an invincible voice that rises from...
the raging waters.
God of the Sea Poseidon.
(God of the Sea Poseidon)
(Bless Poseidon's stage!)
My voice divides the sea. Poseidon has come.
(Confident)
(Keep your eyes on me.)
(I like him.)
He's so cool.
He's strutting.
(He comes in strutting.)
(It's a match between Thor and Poseidon.)
(There can be only one winner.)
(This is the fateful match that will determine the winner.)
(What kind of a stage will they show us?)
("Moon of Seoul" by Kim Gun Mo)
(They have such powerful voices.)
(Thor has a deep yet delicate voice.)
(He sharply sings each word.)
(He's so great.)
(Oh, my.)
(He lets out his voice full of loneliness.)
(The day goes by as he reminisces about the past.)
(His smooth voice strongly hits your ears.)
(Amazed)
(He looks at the moon as lonesome as he.)
(I exchange glasses of liquor)
(With the moon)
(The sad loneliness of the two men deepens as they shout out.)
(His voice gets more powerful.)
(It's pathetic to see you care about my loneliness.)
(He scats smoothly.)
(My goodness.)
(Two Gods make rhythmical harmonization.)
(They're deep into a feeling of loneliness.)
(They spend a night in solitude.)
(I can't see you properly in the darkness.)
(They express their emptiness by making high notes.)
(He sings perfectly in tune.)
(They are fully into him.)
(He's excited.)
(He sings stably until the end.)
(Everyone's in love with their fascinating duet song.)
It was a real men's performance. They were amazing.
- It's hard to pick one. - I can't choose one.
Say hi to our viewers, Thor.
Hi.
I'm God of Thunder Thor.
He's famous for his strength.
Say hi to our viewers.
Hi. I'm God of the Sea Poseidon.
(He's excited.)
He's one of the Gods in Greek mythology.
Young Seok, you stood up as soon as you listen to their song.
Both of them transformed Kim Gun Mo's singing style...
- into theirs very well. - Right.
However, they have pretty similar voice tones...
when they sing.
- They're similar in singing skills. - Right.
It was pretty hard to choose one.
There was a slight difference. As for Thor,
even though he's in the middle of crowd,
- he's voice is very recognizable. - Okay.
He has that kind of voice.
As for Poseidon,
we can only focus on him...
while we listen to his voice.
He has that kind of voice.
Poseidon's voice...
catches people's ears better.
Thor's voice is recognizable anywhere.
(He's touched.)
In my opinion,
Poseidon is a singer.
- He's a singer? - Yes.
I think he's a hip-hop singer.
- A hip-hop singer? - Yes.
The way he walks and gets into the rhythm proves it.
Even the way he holds his microphone proves it.
(He grabs the upper side of microphone.)
Vocalists tend to grab...
- in the middle. - Right.
However, rappers tend to...
grab the upper side of microphone touching their noses.
- Like this. - I see.
Poseidon did that, too.
That made me think that he's a hip-hop singer.
- It's because... - Yes.
the bottom part of microphone makes low-pitched tones.
If you cover like this, you can't make low-pitched tones.
- My gosh. It's true. - It sounds different.
It does, right? So, singers who make low notes...
tend to hold microphone this way.
(He grabs the lower part of microphone.)
Rappers who don't need to make low-pitched tones...
tend to hold a microphone this way.
(Rappers need to deliver the words clearly.)
That's the difference.
To see him moving to the rhythm,
it gets me worried he might get injured in his neck.
- He moves his head back and forth. - Right.
While singing the blues,
it's hard to groove back and forth like this.
- However, he grooved naturally. - My goodness.
In other words,
he's very used to it.
He has a similar body shape as Choi Za.
- Choi Za? - They are similar in height.
- You're saying he's a rapper. - He's a good singer, though.
He has that rhythm and blues...
- type of voice. - Right.
I think he's capable of...
both singing and rapping.
When Thor started to sing,
he tried to sing like Kim Gun Mo.
You seem lonely tonight
He had to sing this way.
Since he was nervous, he sang a little bit in his voice.
You seem lonely tonight
(He was conscious of his voice.)
(He lost confidence as soon as he was conscious of his voice.)
(He recognized his real voice.)
- Did he? - Yes, he did.
He knows how to tighten up the vocal cords.
By using the nasal cavity,
he has that skill...
to make his voice thicker.
He's capable of controlling...
his voice freely.
- Whenever he wants? - Whenever he wants.
He's very skilled in singing.
- He sings a lot. - I think...
he's not a singer.
We are similar in length of legs.
- Is that so? - Yes.
- You're saying he has long legs. - In my opinion,
he's a sportsman.
I saw him dancing and...
- he was dancing offbeat. - Was he?
- Yes, he was. - He was dancing offbeat.
(While Poseidon sings,)
(he dances offbeat.)
(My goodness.)
(He seems like he's miming.)
(Poseidon wonders what he's up to.)
It seemed like he was the only one...
dancing excitingly when everyone's cooled down.
- I think he's an athlete. - Okay.
I think he does one of...
classic music,
vocal music, or musical.
As soon as I heard him singing,
I knew that he's a musical actor.
He was ready to sing like a musical actor.
He even sang the last tone very clearly in detail.
Poseidon was like, You seem lonely tonight
He sang whatever he wants.
However, Thor sang very clearly like...
You seem lonely tonight
- You got it right. - He kept on singing like this.
- He sang very clearly. - I agree.
Like this,
- he sang very clearly. - What are you doing?
As for Poseidon,
he wasn't that clear when he sings.
- However, Thor pronounced clearly. - Wait.
Since Kai does musical, I think he knows the answer.
Let's hear Kai's opinion, then.
Whatever genre you sing,
it's very hard to sing it in bel canto.
For example,
huge trucks are hard to run fast...
since it's too heavy.
In order to make it faster,
it needs...
a high fuel consumption.
He must have had a hard time...
singing this song...
in bel canto.
You did a great job.
Is Thor an opera singer, then?
- I guess so. - Do you think he sings bel canto?
- Yes, I think I know who he is. - Really?
I knew it.
If he fails to move on to the next round,
- we're losing a talented singer. - Is that so?
- Yes. - Alright.
At this point,
let's see what Min Yong has...
in his dictionary.
- Dear Thunderstorm, - Thunderstorm?
- Yes. - It's Thor.
Dear Thor,
you have a powerful voice...
like thunderstorm.
It awakes my spirit...
from the beginning of this year.
(Is it written on a paper?)
It is.
Thanks for your amazing performance.
Dear Poseidon, since you're God of the Sea,
you showed us grand and holy performance. Thank you.
Can we hear what you wrote down for the third match?
- You saw their masks. - Let's just do it now.
- Let's hear it now. - What did you write for them?
(Let's hear what he wrote down.)
Now,
we will find out who's stronger.
They will do arm wrestling. Is that okay with you? Okay.
What about you, Thor?
(He hesitates to say yes.)
Who loses balance will lose.
You got the rule, right? Now, face each other.
Cross your right legs. You can only use your arms.
Who will win the game?
Ready, set, go!
Use only arm power.
(Thor throws Poseidon.)
- What is that? - Goodness me. Thor!
Thor!
- He lost on purpose. - We didn't expect this.
Did you give him a game on purpose?
What are you, Poseidon?
- Are you just the waves? - Thor is stronger.
- Let's do it oppositely. - That's a good idea.
You stand here, Poseidon.
Let's do it once more.
You are one point ahead of him.
Thor is winning.
Hold each other's hand.
Poseidon is shaking his hand.
Great. Ready, set, go!
Poseidon is pulling Thor.
(Poseidon falls down helplessly.)
(Thor throws him without mercy.)
(He's frustrated.)
- Thor is stronger for sure. - What's that?
(He shows off his power.)
This is Thor.
He didn't exercise for his legs.
We will now see Poseidon's specialty.
He has never...
got tickles before.
Thor wrote it down as his specialty.
Let's tickle Poseidon first.
First, Thor will tickle him.
He will attack the arm pits first.
That's the most basic tickling.
- You cannot hold laughing. - That's not the best spot.
Target the lower area.
Go a little bit lower. He's not affected at all.
Tickle his ribs. Scratch his ribs.
Stronger. Stimulate him a little more.
- He remains unmoved. - Try pinching him.
(Thor pinches him.)
(Poseidon moves.)
He was lifted a little bit.
It looks like you have no senses.
Are your soles dull, too?
- I can feel pain. - Okay.
- But I can endure the pinch. - I see.
- Seong Ju, pinch him. - Yes? Here?
- No. - That hurts.
Does it hurt?
- It hurts. - Were you just enduring the pain?
When you pinch me, I just endure the pain.
- I see. - When you tickle me,
- I don't feel ticklish. - Why do you hold in the pain?
He's a little annoyed because it hurts.
Lastly, they will do jegichagi.
Let's see who scores better.
- Who wants to go first? - But...
But I'm wearing sandals.
It will hurt if I get hit on my ankle bone.
- Right. - But you can endure the pain.
- I can't endure the pain. - Is that right?
But you can.
- It hurts when this part is hit. - He's annoyed.
- Right? - I can't...
feel a tickle, but I feel the pain.
- He can't feel the tickle. - That voice sounds familiar.
Thor will go first. Please kick jegi.
Thor kicks jegi. 1, 2, 3, 4,
- and 5, 6, 7, 8, - He's good
and 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14,
and 15. He used both feet to kick jegi 15 times.
Thor is good.
- He's good. - I could kick...
1,500 times, but the mask made me kick only 15 times.
That's a total nonsense.
He could've done much more.
It's Poseidon's turn now. He's almost barefooted.
- Poseidon. - Poseidon.
Can you intentionally target your ankle bone?
Why do I have to do that?
That would be fun.
Yes, I guess it would be fun.
But it would hurt.
My parents gave me the ankle bones.
- So you don't want to hurt them. - I don't want to hurt them...
- by playing jegichagi. - He's a funny guy. Who is he?
Poseidon, start kicking jegi.
It's one. He grabbed it.
He grabbed it.
(Wait.)
(He fixes his clothes.)
What is he tying? He doesn't want to show what's inside.
Here we go. 1, 2, 3.
Jegi hit his ankle bone. His ankle bone is hit.
- He dropped it right away. - He's good.
But the winner is Thor. He kicked jegi 15 times.
He used his two feet to kick it.
Good job.
All right. Now, I will announce the result of...
the second match of Round One.
It must've been very hard to choose.
Thor versus Poseidon. Poseidon versus Thor.
The difference in the number of votes these two people received...
was only five.
(No way.)
One person received five more votes and made it to Round Two,
and the other person was eliminated.
I'll now reveal the winner of this match.
Let's find out who won.
(With rich and heavy voice,)
(Thor put on a sweet performance.)
(With his stylish and deeply appealing rhythm and blues voice,)
(Poseidon put on a rhythmical performance.)
Who is the winner...
who will move on to Round Two?
The winner is...
- Who is it? - The winner is...
(The two deities fought.)
(Is it Thor, whose voice makes the sky weep?)
(Or is it Poseidon, whose voice makes the sea weep?)
Who will make it to Round Two?
Let's check the result.
Who's the winner?
It's...
(Thor wins.)
Thor wins.
(Thor moves on to Round Two.)
(Thunder and lightning were stronger.)
(Thor is the immortal superhero!)
It easily could've been Poseidon.
It was so hard to choose.
Thor beat Poseidon with five more votes.
That was a very close match.
That was nip and tuck. Please move to the waiting room.
Please give it up for Thor.
(The shocking identity of Poseidon will be revealed soon.)
I'm going to Round Two.
He has a very unique voice and original gestures.
Who could he be? We will reveal Poseidon's identity...
with a solo performance prepared for Round Two.
Please give him a big hand.
(His identity will be revealed soon.)
(His voice made everyone focus.)
(His voice was similar to an rhythm and blues voice.)
(Is he a hip hop musician?)
(He walked and held the mic like a hip hop musician.)
(Is it Choi Za from Dynamic Duo?)
(In the arm wrestling,)
(he miserably lost.)
(He looks miserable.)
(But he got through the tickle and recovered his fame.)
(He was so funny after jegichagi match.)
(Who is this man who even Gu Ra approves?)
("After Sending You" by YB)
His voice is perfect for this song.
Isn't it Yoon Do Hyun's song?
(It's one of the most popular songs sung by men at karaoke.)
(What?)
(Poseidon's voice chanced a little bit.)
(His mellow voice suits the song well.)
(His heavy voice makes us feel his deep emotion.)
(Poseidon contained sincerity in the sad lyrics.)
(It brings back their old memories and makes them emotional.)
Now, Poseidon, please take off your mask...
and reveal yourself.
He is...
Who is it?
- He is... - Who is it?
They are very surprised.
Why are they so thrilled?
(Expectant)
Please reveal your face.
He is...
the main rapper of Epic High, Mithra!
(Mithra from Epic High?)
(Is he really a rapper?)
(He was a hip hop musician.)
I knew it. I told you.
You just got lucky.
Anyhow, it still counts.
(No way.)
(It's hard to believe that rapper Mithra sings this well.)
(He's amazing.)
(He focuses on the song with a happy face.)
(People thought Mithra is just rough.)
(But in fact he's sweet as well.)
(Impressed)
(He shows off his rich emotions.)
(He's good.)
(He's on the stage as a singer, not a rapper.)
(Singing seriously, Mithra looks amazing today.)
(You are the best!)
(Mithra broke the prejudices against him singing "After Sending You".)
(The audiences give him a big hand.)
- Rappers sing very well. - You are right. They are good.
You are the best.
Please say hello to our viewers.
Hello, I'm Mithra Jin, the youngest member of Epik High.
- Youngest? - He's the youngest member.
(He made his debut as the youngest member of Epik High in 2003.)
(They left a lot of hit songs such as "Peace Day", "Fly" and so on.)
(He is one of the most popular rappers in Korea these days.)
(They topped the charts in many music programs.)
(He has outstanding musicality.)
I'll be there with you until the end.
Mithra's "Opening at Night".
(With his witty words,)
(he hosts a night-time radio program.)
(He has outstanding low tone rapping skills.)
(Mithra is a great rapper with 15 years of experience.)
You joined our program as a panelist...
when we had the DJ Special.
In fact, there's a story behind it.
When my manager told me I'd appear in King of Mask Singer,
I thought I'd sing on stage.
As a singer?
That's what I thought.
It's King of Mask Singer.
So I thought about what song I'd sing...
and came up with the playlist.
I thought I'd sing three songs if things went well.
So I prepared three songs.
But no one called me since then.
- You should rehearse with the band. - That's right.
I didn't know what was going on.
And it turns out that...
- I was casted as a panelist. - That's right.
(Even though he did a good job as a panelist,)
(whenever he watched other singers sing,)
(he felt upset.)
(He looks sulky.)
You thought you'd sing as a masked singer.
Did you want to sing on this stage?
- I wanted to try it someday. - Really?
Because I like to sing.
And I didn't have any chance to sing in front of people.
So I wanted to sing in King of Mask Singer...
and show off my voice someday.
I'm a celebrity, but I rarely appear on TV.
It's been a long time since I was on TV.
That's right.
I used to appear in many variety shows, but I don't do that anymore.
- So I feel sorry for my fans. - I see.
In fact, I think I'm being forgotten by people.
You are right. We want to see you on TV more often.
Show us your face more often.
- You can still do your music. - I'm afraid people will forget me.
This was a good opportunity for you.
You'd think he was just a rapper who is tough and strong
but he was an emotional man...
with a tender heart inside of him.
Please give Mithra a big hand.
(We look forward to your future endeavors.)
(Putting back on the mask)
Why are you putting it on?
I don't need to do that?
I didn't know that.
(He looks clumsy.)
How did they recognize me?
I got a shave.
I've mostly appeared on TV with a beard.
So I discussed it with my wife.
She said I look dirty with a beard,
and people would like it if I look neat and tidy.
So I got a shave.
This year, Epik High will release...
a new album.
I promise we will appear on TV more often with a new album.
I will look forward to seeing you again soon.
Thank you.
God of Thunder Thor...
beat Mithra Jin of Epik High...
and moved on to Round Two.
Right after this show ends, the online mobile survey on...
this week's masked singers by netizens will proceed.
Please join the survey.
Let's continue the third match...
of Round One.
The third match of Round One.
She embroiders the universe...
with her sparkling songs.
Half Shaped Golden Star.
(Half Shaped Golden Star)
Do you think you can beat me? That's ridiculous.
(I will dominate the stage.)
(You look amazing.)
She is elegant.
What a spectacle!
(Getting serious)
What did you say?
(Giggling)
Her opponent...
is a genius at transforming with an outstanding voice.
Itaewon Goer Moon.
(Itaewon Goer Moon)
I will sing with a bright voice to light the world.
(I'm lighting the world.)
(She is cute.)
Itaewon Goer Moon
- Hello. - She likes to party in Itaewon.
The moon of Lunar New Year's Day
They have different looks.
Golden Star looks like a great singer, don't you think?
She seems to have a good high register.
She looks like a veteran singer.
(They both look like veteran singers.)
I'm nervous.
(There are two charismatic masked singers.)
(The panelists can't take off their eyes of them.)
(There is a lot of tension around the studio.)
(The beautiful star and moon...)
(will show a shining performance.)
("Decalcomania" by Mamamoo)
(Surprised)
(She has a sexy husky voice.)
(She's amazing.)
(Her voice is clear but powerful.)
(Singing tunes in a long breath,)
(Golden Star gives off her charms.)
(Moon responds to her with her own charms.)
(She sings powerfully putting stresses on each notes.)
(They both are good.)
(She makes alluring gestures...)
(with her voluptuous charms.)
(She dances...)
(irresistible waves.)
(She even raps well.)
(She raps with a good flow to the beat.)
(She shows off her powerful rapping skills.)
(Amazed)
(It's like they are playing tug-of-war on the line of destiny.)
(Golden Star and Moon are having a fiery showdown.)
(Dancing lightly)
(Their irresistible temptation never stops.)
(It is the second round of rap battle.)
(They don't give an inch.)
(For such a small woman, she has a passion as hot as a furnace.)
(Excited)
(She sings powerfully with an outpouring of passion.)
(Two women with different charms had a scramble to get more votes.)
(It was amazing.)
That was amazing. I loved it.
They are outstanding.
This is too hard.
It's too hard to pick one.
They both are so good.
The third match of Round One is over.
Please say hello to our viewers.
Hello.
I'm Half Shaped Golden Star.
Golden Star is...
quite tall.
(Giggling)
Hello. I'm Itaewon Goer Moon.
She seems to like to party.
She's wearing glittery dress.
- Young Seok. - Just like their names,
Golden Star and Moon,
their performance was so shining.
(Thank you.)
As they sang the same song,
you'd think they have similar singing styles.
But their singing styles are radically different.
Considering her gestures and breathing, Golden Star is...
close to those of a soul singer.
As for Moon,
she showed delicate techniques of rhythm and blues.
She showed action during the performance.
There wasn't much difference between their talents...
in this performance. If there is a difference,
it's like something between upper case and lower case letters.
They are still the same letter.
It's hard to determine who is better.
Like You Jeen,
she laughs at the smallest thing.
She burst out laughing.
(You Jeen burst out laughing at every comment.)
She's strange.
(You Jeen and Golden Star are full of laughter.)
She burst out laughing.
- What he said wasn't that funny. - No, it wasn't.
- It was a trivial comment. - She laughs a lot.
I think she is someone who hasn't been on TV for a while.
Her belt is located too high, too.
(Her belt is located too high.)
Her belt.
Do you have something to say?
- This is an empire style. - I know that.
However, it's still too high.
- My legs are long. - I see.
Okay.
(His answer lacks soul.)
She seems like a diva from the past.
- A diva from the past. - Yes.
I imagine that she took a break because of a happy occasion...
such as a wedding.
She returned to the industry after a while.
People tie their shoes before they run, right?
I think that's why she fastened her belt high on her waist.
She seems like a diva of the past...
who visited the show to renew her determination.
(Is Golden Star a diva of the past?)
- Is it funny to be called a diva? - It wasn't a funny comment.
I sense a change in her hormone level.
You laugh a lot in you middle ages.
That's right.
She seems like a seasoned singer.
Soul is different from genres such as rhythm and blues...
because it requires years of experience.
- I doubt she is a diva of the past. - You disagree.
- I don't think she is a singer. - You don't think she is a singer.
I don't think she is a singer. However, Golden Star...
has a loud voice...
that comes from deep inside her body.
That's why I still think...
she is someone who can sing very well.
- She isn't an actress, either. - She isn't in the music industry.
No, she isn't. She loves music and has talent in singing.
Here is what I think.
Her gestures seem familiar to me.
I think she is a musical singer.
Why are so many musical singers visiting the show?
(I was only making a guess.)
It's Kai's personal opinion.
It's only advantageous to Kai.
I would know if comedians visit the show.
I can't be 100 percent sure, but musical singers...
have different colors.
There are ones...
who sing soulfully like a pop singer.
I also predicted Thor to be a musical singer.
Like Thor, musical singers can have classical vocalization.
Many of them have great talent.
I would like to bring your attention to Golden Star's shoulders.
- Shoulders. - Even though she sang...
a powerful and soulful song,
she kept her shoulders straight and held herself proudly.
Her sensual vocalization...
- felt familiar to me. - Let me give you a hint.
What he said...
will air.
(Why?)
- I can say this with certainty. - Don't overstep your authority.
It's a producer's job to edit the show.
I was only giving you a hint.
- He wants to embarrass Kai. - Maybe I am.
I think he wants to embarrass Kai.
You may be right.
It's about time I get embarrassed.
- What's your opinion on Moon? - She is someone...
who wouldn't bleed even when she is pricked.
(She has a solid world of her own.)
She went overboard a lot during the performance.
(My goodness.)
(She sang with the tip of her fingers.)
(She also danced with her shoulders.)
(She showed a sexy dance.)
She moved around a lot.
- She was trying very hard. - Is that what you thought?
I thought she couldn't suppress her good cheer.
She showed her good cheer...
- on the stage. - It's in line with what I said.
I was impressed.
She was cute and charismatic.
Itaewon Goer Moon...
is someone who can play with music.
She can deliver...
her style, good cheer, and feelings...
through her voice in a confident way.
She can boldly express herself.
Her singing skills...
shadowed her rapping skills.
Listening to her rap, I noticed that Moon...
enunciated the words...
and delivered the meaning perfectly.
I think she either enjoys rapping on a regular basis...
or is better at rapping.
Now,
you will receive hints on their identities...
through their specialties.
Golden Star will let you hear...
her real voice.
Give us an impression of Lee So Ra.
I am happy
(She perfectly imitates the way Lee So Ra breathes.)
I really don't want to say that
Let's end it here. That was enough.
(She did a good job.)
Now, give us an impression of Park Ji Yoon.
My dear, what are you waiting for?
I am right before your eyes
Let's end it here.
Even her gestures were on point.
This time, we will see a dance Moon prepared.
It's Zombie Dance.
What kind of dance will it be?
Music, please.
(It's "Full Moon" by Sun Mi)
(How will this dance turn it to Zombie Dance?)
(It's the night of full moon.)
She is moving to the rhythm.
My goodness.
(Moon is thirsty for love.)
(Before this night passes)
Her dance moves are extraordinary.
(The long wait exhausts her.)
She is turning into a zombie.
(She finally turns into a zombie.)
(I am lonely.)
(Love me.)
(Thrashing)
(She needs vaccine of love.)
It's scary.
(Creaking)
(Where is my love?)
Let's end it here.
(The dance of a zombie who needs love ends here.)
It was an impressive zombie.
Can you play a zombie...
that eats Seong Ju?
- Can you do that? - Me?
Seong Ju will also turn into a zombie, okay?
- Me? - Please do it.
I will become a zombie. I can dance pretty well, too.
Music, please.
I am still a human.
(Biting)
(Seong Ju is infected with a zombie virus.)
(Creaking)
(Include me in.)
(No.)
(Bite me.)
(Biting)
(Golden Star is infected with a zombie virus.)
She is good. Everyone is doing a good job.
That's good. It's like "Train To Busan".
(Panting)
(They stop the dance due to the lack of energy.)
- Let's end it here. - Golden Star was the best.
(They showed a fantastic teamwork.)
It was great.
I noticed something about Moon's dance.
When people dance with their hips and shoulders,
they only move this much.
There is a magic trick that divides upper and lower bodies.
Her dance was like that.
(Satisfied)
I think she is a young idol singer...
with dancing skills who is in a group that was here.
I think she is Jeon So Mi.
(She is the center of I.O.I.)
(Is Jeon So Mi Moon?)
Let's hear Soo Min's opinion.
I think she is an idol singer who went to the musical industry...
because she can sing very well.
She makes big gestures...
so that they can be seen from far away.
It reminded me of musical singers.
Is Golden Star an idol singer?
No, I don't think she is.
(Sad)
She reminds me of J, who is a singer from the past.
- That's right. - A Korean American singer.
She was tall, too.
Let's stop deducting.
Now, I will announce the result...
of the third match of Round One.
Between Golden Star, a vocalist who shines in darkness...
and Moon, a woman whose voice lights up the sky,
who will be the winner of this match?
(Her voice has depth and soul.)
(Will Half Shaped Golden Star win?)
(She is a powerful vocalist with great techniques.)
(Will Itaewon Goer Moon win?)
Between Half Shaped Golden Star...
and Itaewon Goer Moon,
who will win...
and move on to Round Two?
The winner is...
Who will be the winner?
I hope it's the person I voted for.
This is hard.
(Golden Star and Moon resemble each other.)
(Whose voice did the audience choose?)
- The winner is... - The winner is...
Who will move on to Round Two?
The winner is...
Moon won.
(It's full moon.)
(Moon will shine Round Two.)
(My goodness.)
Moon won.
(The final score was 54 to 45.)
The final score was 54 to 45. With a difference of 9 votes,
Moon beat Golden Star and became the winner.
Please return to your waiting room.
(My goodness.)
Thank you so much. I will perform harder in Round Two.
Ta-da!
(May the moonlight fill Round Two.)
Let's find out who Golden Star is.
Who could she be?
We will reveal her identity with a solo performance...
she prepared for Round Two.
Please give her a big round of applause.
(Her gestures and breathing skills are of a soul musician.)
(She may be a former diva who has appeared on TV in a long time.)
(Chae Yeon thinks she's neither a diva or a professional singer.)
(Perhaps she is a musical actress with familiar motions.)
(Golden Star laughs at every little thing.)
You laugh for everything.
(Who is Golden Star, a mysterious woman?)
("I Will Show You" by Ailee)
- It's a difficult song. - It's "I Will Show You".
(She conveys her sad emotions as she breathes calmly.)
(Who is she?)
(She must be a singer.)
(You can sense the pain of a breakup from her skillful singing.)
(I will show you how I changed)
(She sings with her powerful voice to the faster beat.)
(She can easily make her voice sound emotional and powerful.)
(Who is Golden Star who has the charms of a chameleon?)
Now, Half Shaped Golden Star, please take off your mask...
and reveal your face.
(Screaming)
(Unbelievable)
She is...
(Who is she?)
They're screaming like crazy.
They're so surprised. Who is she?
She is...
Kim Mi Ryeo, a comedienne with 12 years of experience.
(It's Kim Mi Ryeo!)
(They're surprised and happy to see her.)
(Has she always been this good?)
(They're delighted to see her.)
(Her voice which only made people laugh...)
(turned out to be so charming.)
(Her powerful and refreshing singing style...)
(feels so liberating.)
(She sings about a girl who leaves her love without clinging onto it.)
(I will show you how I changed)
(She lets out her every lingering feeling...)
(with her powerful voice.)
("I Will Show You" by Kim Mi Ryeo, the liberating breakup story)
(She's so great.)
(It was the best.)
Encore! It was fantastic.
Mi Ryeo, you were amazing.
- She's such a great singer. - She's so good.
Please say hello to the viewers.
Hello, I'm Kim Mi Ryeo. It's good to see you.
Mr. Kim. Keep driving. Keep driving.
("Mr. Kim, keep driving" is her famous catchphrase.)
(She's a passionate comedienne who doesn't spare herself.)
(With her amazing singing ability that everyone appreciates,)
(she released several group albums and a solo album.)
(She also played various roles in many musicals.)
(Mi Ryeo is a great singer...)
(and an impressive comedienne who loves music.)
As you all know, Mi Ryeo has the most famous catchphrase. "Mr. Kim."
"Keep driving."
She drew so much attention as a comedienne.
However, she actually moved to Seoul...
from Yeosu, her hometown, to become a singer.
- Is this true? - It is.
You moved to Seoul to be a singer.
Yes. I was in the city choir...
- when I was little. - City choir.
Yes. I also formed a band...
when I was in high school.
I played in a band.
It says here that the name of...
your band was Crazy Dog.
- Is that right? - We...
called it in English, so it would sound better.
- Crazy Dog. - Yes.
It's a little rough name.
Your name was mentioned several times on our show.
- You know that, right? - Yes.
We persistently asked her to come to our show,
but she refused every time. You finally took courage today.
You didn't exactly ask me persistently.
I did refuse to come. I was afraid that I might disappoint...
- The audience? - Yes.
- You were worried. - That's right.
- Oh, dear. - The songs she picked...
were Mamamoo and Ailee's songs.
Those songs are not easy to sing...
- even for the professional singers. - That's right.
It proves that you are such...
an amazing singer.
She has very unique and impressive...
vocalization skills.
If she had a few hit songs,
she would be good enough to hold a concert right away.
Being nervous means you want to be better.
I hope you will get as good as you want...
and show us great performances in the future.
All right. Today, she overcame her...
worries and fears...
and sang as freely as she wanted on stage.
It was Kim Mi Ryeo. Please give her a big hand.
Thank you.
(We'll look forward to your great songs.)
(Who does she want to show her stage today?)
My daughter would scream like crazy.
"Mom!" She keeps calling me like this.
If she recognizes my voice when she hears me sing behind the mask,
I would be incredibly happy.
That's what I'm looking forward to.
Can you hear me, Mo A?
I'm sure you'd be holding the robot toy of yours when this show airs.
Please stop looking at the robot and look at Mommy.
I love you, my dear daughter.
Also, my dear husband,
I know you must have sung along with me nervously,
but you're a bad singer. I love you.
Itaewon Goer Moon defeated Kim Mi Ryeo...
and moved on to Round Two.
The last match of Round One.
He's got his secret weapon.
His powerful voice stops everyone walking by.
Farting King Skunk.
(The fragrance of music spreads already.)
I will make everyone drunk with my music.
(Skunk comes in toddling.)
(He's actually wearing a skunk mask.)
(Why did he choose to be a skunk?)
Why is he a skunk?
I think he may be Park Sang Min.
- You're right. - Right? He might be Sang Min.
His opponent has...
a romantic voice that spreads through the green forest.
Deer Are More Beautiful than Flowers.
(He gets energy from the green forest.)
My song will be...
more beautiful than flowers or deer.
(He's a deer of a sturdy built.)
(Oh, my. He's so big.)
I saw his nickname, and I thought it'd be a woman.
It's a guy.
- Yes. - I think it's a guy.
(Poor Min Yong.)
(He's disappointed that it's a guy.)
This is unexpected.
(They look cute in their costumes.)
They look cute.
I think he has a big belly.
I think you're right.
(Skunk suddenly sprays at Deer.)
It's the skunk's spray.
(He must be a comedian.)
(They are two animals...)
(as lovely as their costumes.)
(The tension goes away...)
(and the stage is filled with excitement.)
(A match between a playful Skunk and a handsome Deer in the woods)
(What performance did they prepare for the fourth round?)
("A Night like Tonight" by Lee Kwang Cho)
(He starts the song a bit off the beat.)
(But he breezes through it as if nothing happened.)
- Gosh. - Gosh, what was that?
(His sweet voice captivates people's hearts.)
(His sweet voice tickles everyone's ears.)
(He delivers the lyrics with emotions in every of his breathing.)
(He's so good.)
(Both of them are good.)
(What should I do?)
(The Deer's voice is sweet...)
(and soft as strings.)
(A night like tonight)
(Amazed)
(I love his voice.)
(He has a rich voice that everyone wants to hear.)
(The Skunk's voice is as rich as a brass.)
(The two instruments take a little break...)
(and dance.)
(Everyone enjoys the performance...)
(together like a festival.)
(They sing in turn like jazz.)
(They create good harmony like an orchestra.)
(Amazed)
(He sings the song...)
(as if it's his own. It's the perfect climax.)
(Thrilled)
(You have to make a guess now.)
(I know.)
(Time goes by.)
(A night like tonight)
(I got it.)
(The way the two vocalists deliver their feelings is flawless.)
(Who is he?)
(Who are they?)
(The two vocalists with different charms showed an exciting...)
(performance like jazz performance in midnight.)
(Bravo)
(It's refreshing as a shower of music.)
I have no idea who they are. I really don't know.
(Who are those talented singers?)
I love it.
I guess their age difference is big.
(No one knows who they are but me.)
The first duet song match of Round One has just finished.
Please say hello to the viewers.
Skunk will go first.
Hello, I'm Farting King Skunk.
Good. He's Farting King Skunk.
He's cute.
- Nice to see you. - All right.
- Refrain yourself. - Yes, you must.
(Refrain yourself. Your identity will be revealed soon.)
(Do you know me?)
Did you think I wouldn't know him?
Who is he?
- I'll finish my speech here. - Did you already find out?
- Yes. - This early?
- Of course, I did. - You've got an answer?
- I do. - Nice to meet you, Gu Ra.
If I say I don't know him,
I'm responsible for neglect of duty.
- That means you know very well? - Yes, I'm sure.
- You're close to him. - Yes.
Even if I don't recognize my son,
- I'd recognize him at a glance. - I think I know who he is.
Does he live in Gimpo?
I can't tell you that.
Guess however you want, please.
- I'll give you a hint... - I know the answer.
- little by little. - All right.
As soon as he finished his performance,
- he found out who Skunk was. - I did.
Do you know who the Deer is?
- I have no interest in him. - You have no interest.
(Giving a vacant laugh)
Gu Ra isn't interested in him at all.
- All I can see is the Skunk. - I see.
- Refrain yourself. Take it easy. - Refrain yourself.
I think Gu Ra knows who the Skunk is.
Please make your guesses based on that.
Young Seok, you seemed to enjoy the performance a lot.
This is quite interesting.
As many people may think,
considering their singing skills and voice tones...
Deer is far better.
When they were performing on stage,
Skunk let out his voice very naturally when he sang.
This way of singing was common years ago.
- But now it sounds very new. - Right.
When he sang, I felt like...
he sang off the beat a couple of times.
But I'm amazed by how powerful the song gets...
when you sing it naturally without forcing your voice.
(Thank you.)
It was a good comment.
He sang in a relaxed voice, and you felt it like a powerful voice.
I felt the same way.
- Seul Ong. - He sang...
the song with his emotions only,
but his singing was
as good as Deer.
It was entertaining to watch...
his performance.
To look at the whole thing,
the song wouldn't have been completed...
without Deer's assistance in creating great harmony.
Due to his support,
Skunk could get many compliments...
and showed an entertaining performance.
- Regardless of the match. - Yes.
- He helped him a lot for... - Right.
a better performance. Even Skunk acknowledged it.
That's what Deer is supposed to do.
I think he'll go to the Final Match.
- You think he'll make it to final? - Yes. He should support him a lot.
I see.
- He's good as King of Mask Singer. - He is.
They have different opinions about the performance.
Skunk, why did you make a mistake...
at the beginning of the song?
(Right, he did.)
- That's my charming point. - "My charming point".
That's his charm.
Seung Woo.
- I think you enjoyed it the most. - Yes?
I'm in love with Skunk.
- With Skunk? - Yes.
- You, too? - Back in the days, my grandpa...
used to sing only one song in the singing room,
"Boarder".
- It's Choi Hui Joon's song. - He sang it like this.
Life is like a way of travelers
(The song was released in 1965. It tells you what life is about.)
Everyone was blown away just by the first verse he sang.
I was also amazed by his singing.
I loved when he sang.
- Really... - Skunk is good at that song.
He's good at the song, too?
His impersonation of Choi Hui Joon is good, too.
- I think he's good at slow songs. - Is it?
- If there is a chance given... - Please do that later.
Impersonate him later.
(Okay)
(No, I don't know him.)
You don't have to be nervous now.
- Gu Ra's idea could be wrong. - Right.
What's your opinion, Hyun Chul?
The saxophone makes two different sounds.
One of them is...
(Cheerful and gentle)
Like David Sandborn and Kenny G.
(A sweet and gentle sound...)
(that goes along with the melody)
- Deer has such a voice. - Okay.
On the other hand, Skunk has a different voice.
(Making a saxophone sound)
(What's he doing?)
Like the sound of Stan Getz.
- He even said Stan Getz. - Yes. Like Stan Getz.
His voice is like that of Stan Getz's saxophone.
(Who's Stan Getz?)
(He played the bossanova rhythms in 1960 with his saxophone.)
(Is he old enough to know who Stan Getz is?)
- He's good at this, too. - No.
- Is he? - Show us some later.
- Do it for us later, okay? - Choi Hui Joon and Stan Getz.
Do both of them for us later, okay?
- I'll ask him a favor now. - Okay.
Can you impersonate Stan Getz...
playing his saxophone?
(Does he know how Stan Getz plays?)
(He knows it.)
(I told you it's him.)
(He's even better than expected.)
Enough. Stop it there.
I think many still have no idea who Skunk is.
- We don't know. - It seems so.
- Bong Sun should know. - Gu Ra's the only one who knows.
- Tell me any letter from his name. - A letter from his name?
- A letter from his name? - I get to say it out loud now.
- My friend, S. - S?
- S? - I got it.
- S. - I got it, too.
(Who's S?)
- Is he finally here? - S.
Is it Shin Gu?
- Young Seok said Shin Gu. - Shin Gu?
- Yes. S? - Shin Gu?
Is that what you guess from my hint? Okay.
- S. - S.
Or Song Hae?
(No)
- All right. - Who is he?
He isn't singing Choi Hui Joon's song.
His identity can be revealed soon.
I think he's an actor.
- An actor? - Yes.
He walk around...
with his hands held behind.
- Gu Ra said S as part of his name. - Yes.
- Soon Dol's father, - Soon Dol's father?
- Lim Hyun Sik. - Lim Hyun Sik?
Yes.
(One of the greatest actors, Lim Hyun Sik, who debuted 52 years ago)
(He's an actor with a lot of experience and good at acting sly.)
- I guess he's Lim Hyeon Sik. - Actor Lim Hyeon Sik.
His last name doesn't start with S, then.
It's in Sik.
- S in Sik. - S in Sik.
Now, let's see their specialties. It will help you with guessing.
I can't wait to see.
(Why are you expecting so much?)
- You seem very excited. - Just do whatever you want.
(Just think that I'm not here, too.)
We will start off with Skunk's dance.
He prepared a disco dance.
Hand over your microphone to me. Music, please.
(It's Skunk's disco time.)
Poke further.
It's an old song.
(He dances like...)
(a cute grandpa.)
He dances like this.
(He's excited.)
(It's great.)
(My friend is doing a great job.)
(Seong Ju's excited, too.)
(He bounces.)
This is it. Let's stop here.
(He's so cute.)
- That was great. Gu Ra. - Yes.
- Do you still think he's S? - Yes, I still think the same.
- I think everyone knows by now. - Let's just tell them all.
- It's Sim Hyeon Seob. - Sim Hyeon Seob.
- It's Hyeon Seob. - Okay.
(It's been 22 years since he debuted as comedian.)
(He's talented in various genres.)
(He's Gu Ra's best friend.)
(Gu Ra looked for him many times.)
(He was very confident about it.)
(He stopped calling that name after he got it wrong.)
(Would Skunk be really Hyeon Seob?)
People at the back...
misunderstood what you said.
Hyun Chul's keep saying he's Seo Seung Man.
Would it be Seung Man?
- Seung Man? - Yes.
- He sounds like him. - Who do you think he is?
- He's Hyeon Seob for sure. - Okay.
- Skunk has many specialties. - I know.
- He can't do it all because of you. - Because of me?
That's right.
- Because of you... - Just do whatever you want.
- he can't show them all. - Okay.
Show us one more impersonation.
Impersonate Bae Han Seong for us.
You limit him too much, Gu Ra.
Let's see his impersonation.
"I'm Bae Han Seong."
(He's surprised.)
"Don't you know me?"
"I have an arm of Gazette."
Let's stop here.
You should stop here.
(He has more to show.)
Now, it's Deer's turn to go.
He has prepared a lot for us.
He will show us a voice imitation.
He will sing a song of "Candy"...
in four different voices.
First, it's Bobby Kim.
Even though I'm lonely and sad
I never cry
Now, it's KCM.
I rather hold back my tears
I never cry
He will show Yoon Min Su this time.
Let's run while smiling
Let's sing while looking up at the blue sky
(Finale is...)
Lastly, we have Naul. My name is...
My name is
(He shows amazing skills.)
Candy
(He finishes it perfectly with Naul.)
(They are blessed to see this perfect impersonation.)
- Deer's amazing. - Seong Ju.
- Yes. - I mean,
- Skunk got damaged by me. - Right.
He will lose.
He went bad with his specialties. We're being too harsh on him.
- Why did you tell his name, then? - Show more of his specialty.
I will announce the result now.
Now, I will announce the result...
of the last match of Round One.
I'll now reveal the winner...

(He sings with deep emotion like a veteran singer.)
(Skunk sang with ease.)

Prepare for the next round, please.
Please give him a big hand.
(He still can't believe he won by big points.)
I'm happy I can sing my second song as well.
Please give me a lot of love.
(He tries to look cute.)
Will he really be S.H.S?
Will he be S.S.M?
- What? - Let's see who's right.
We will reveal Skunk's identity with a solo performance...
prepared for Round Two. Please give him a big hand.
(His solo performance will be started soon.)
(He was fun and smelly from beginning.)
(He's even talented in making instrumental sounds.)
(Does Gu Ra know who he is?)
(He's Gu Ra's best friend, S, who's talented in impersonation.)
(Would Skunk be Hyun Seob for real?)
(Or would it be Seung Man?)
(Can it be Hyun Sik?)
("A Letter" by Onions)
He's not Hyun Seob.
(Unexpectedly, he sounds very dignified.)
(He sings with all his heart as if he's writing a letter.)
(It's amazing.)
(We can feel his sincerity.)
(Isn't he S?)
(Something's going wrong.)
(He seems very experienced with deep emotions.)
(His performance makes people lost in old memories.)
Now, Farting King Skunk,
please take off your mask and reveal your face.
(They're surprised.)
(It's unbelievable.)
He is...
- What's happening? - Is he Hyun Seob?
(He tries to figure out who Skunk is.)
Please show us your face.
He is...
a living legend among MCs.
It's Heo Cham.
(Is he really Heo Cham?)
I can't believe it.
(He's not Hyun Seob.)
It's unbelievable.
My goodness.
(He blows panelists' minds.)
(Nobody could ever expect him to be Heo Cham.)
I can't believe my eyes.
What's happening?
(What have I done to him?)
(My goodness.)
(Everyone's happy to see the nation's MC, Heo Cham.)
(He told him to refrain from overacting.)
(Were you really saying that to me, Gu Ra?)
(He was confident that he's Hyeon Seob.)
(You failed, Gu Ra.)
(He has hosted a lot of programs over the past few decades,)
(but this is his first time to sing alone on the stage.)
(Cheering)
I'm so thrilled.
(His song reflected his life and experience.)
(Heo Cham sang "A Letter" filled with romance.)
(It is even more toughing as they didn't expect to see him.)
That was so close though.
(Gu Ra is speechless.)
Did you know who he was?
(Gu Ra had no idea about his identity.)
Please say hello to our viewers.
Hello, everyone.
I hope you are doing well.
Please stay healthy all the time.
Thank you very much.
(He entered the scene as a host of "Top 7 Singers" of TBC in 1972.)
(He's been a popular TV show host for almost half a century.)
(He hosted "Family Game Show" for 26 years.)
(He is a popular show host with the gift of gab.)
(He is the man with this familiar voice.)
Do you want to host a show?
(He is a living legend, Heo Cham.)
Yes, that's just what I do.
Heo Cham made his debut the year I was born.
It's been 46 years.
He is a role model for those who dream of becoming a show host.
Gu Ra insisted that he was S.H.S...
- from the beginning. - He was wrong.
No one expected to see him here.
I will never talk about Sim Hyeon Seob again.
I made the same mistake when Gaeko was here.
I was sure he was Sim Hyeon Seob this time.
He looked just like Hyeon Seob.
(Gu Ra fell for his gestures.)
He didn't have any specialty to show us,
but you tried to stop him.
It helped us a lot.
I know. I just thought Hyeon Seob was hiding his specialty.
So I wondered why he'd do that.
He hosted "Family Game Show" for a long time,
so he thought people would recognize his voice immediately.
Is that right?
Of course. Even in a dark pub,
people recognize my voice whenever I order some food.
I see.
Maybe it's because I have rhinitis.
But no one recognized your voice today because of someone's bias.
That's right.
Bias is something not to be lightly treated.
- That's right. - I blame Hyeon Seob.
I will never say his name again.
To be honest, I'm not sure if you can see that or not,
I'm very nervous standing here.
I grew up watching Heo Cham hosting many TV shows...
and it made me dream of becoming a show host.
As you know, I say...
"The winner is..." in this program every week.
It is actually from his line.
"Show us the final score."
- That's right. - This is what it is from.
- That's not right. - I didn't do it right.
Can you please show us speak the line?
- Do you want me to? - Please show us.
We heard it so many times.
King of Mask Singer.
"Show us...
the final score."
This is it.
That's the one.
It sounds just right.
"Show us the final score."
This is it.
Some kids even call me...
- Final Score Man. - Final Score Man.
They call me Winner Man.
That's funny.
This is the pleasure only a show host can feel.
- That's right. - It is very pleasant.
My heart flutters when I hear good singers sing.
But now, my heart is fluttering as I hear you say.
- You have such a well-known voice. - He's right.
A lot of young people including teenagers sing in this program.
But he came here...
wearing an animal costume despite his age.
If I were him, could I try the same thing? He made me think about that.
I believe he's been a popular show host...
because of his young mind to keep challenging himself.
We learned our lessons by watching you.
- We respect you. - Thank you.
That's nice.
Today, he sang a beautiful song...
for us with his familiar voice.
Please give him a big hand.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
I love you.
(We all admire your undiminished passion.)
(He looks playful leaving the stage.)
(Innocent smile)
I wanted to give people a lot of pleasure in this program.
So I tried to sing merrily on the stage.
Thanks to the cute Skunk mask,
people watched me with a broad smile on their faces.
It made me feel relaxed.
So I acted a bit frivolously.
King of Mask Singer is a beloved TV show.
I'm just glad that...
I did my bit in the program.
I hope it will be a long-lived program.
