which is the OST from musical "Jekyll And Hyde".

Congratulations. Please get ready for the next round.
Please give her a big hand.
(The identity of charming Accordion Man will be revealed soon.)
Please go back to your waiting room.
I'm so excited and hungry.
I should eat something before I sing my last song.
Wait for me, King of Mask Singer.
He is an outstanding singer.
Let's find out who he is now.
(It's time to reveal his identity.)
Now, Accordion Man,
- He's my friend. - please take off your mask...
and reveal your face.
(Gu Ra was sure that Accordion Man is his friend.)
(Do you want me to give you a hint?)
(Who is Gu Ra's friend who sings well?)
Please take off your mask and reveal your face.
(Surprised)
(Astonished)
He's my friend.
(Who on earth is he?)
They seem surprised.
Who is he?
(They can't wait to see his face.)
Show your face.
He is...
a character actor, Kim Pub Lae.
He's Kim Pub Lae.
(He is Actor Kim Pub Lae.)
(That's my friend.)
(They didn't expect to hear that name.)
(Is he really Gu Ra's friend?)
(Amazed)
It's been 23 years since his debut.
- He's my friend. - Your friend.
That's right.
- Thank you. - Please say hello to our viewers.
Hello, I'm Kim Pub Lae.
I'm currently appearing in the MBC drama, "Missing 9".
It's nice to meet you.
(He became a beloved actor as Jang Do Pal in "Missing 9".)
(He is a character actor with 23 years of experience.)
(He has been busy with prominent supporting roles in many dramas...)
(such as "Two Weeks", "Shine or Go Crazy", and "Glamorous Temptation".)
(He shows charismatic acting in all genres of dramas.)
(With his peerless low voice,)
(he is second to none in the musical field.)
(He's appeared in "The Sorrows of Young Werther", "Guys And Dolls",)
("The Three Musketeers", "Gone with the Wind", and so on.)
(He is a recognized actor.)
(He is a great actor, Kim Pub Lae.)
I bet you often hear you have a good voice.
Yes. One of my strengths is my voice,
but it also has some downsides.
Is there anything bad for having a good voice?
Yes. When I answer a call in the bus,
I say hello.
(What was that?)
Everyone in the bus looks at me in surprise.
(His voice surprises people around him.)
It happens a lot.
(I won't hurt you.)
I didn't know that.
I have a question for you.
Have you ever taken a voice lesson before?
In fact, I majored in voice at Kyunghee University.
- You majored in voice? - Yes, he did.
The reason I became a musical actor is...
because there are not many bass parts in voice...
for a bass like me.
So I became a musical actor to play various parts.
He has a precious voice.
Bass is not something you can acquire through training.
You should be born with it.
No one can easily imitate his voice.
He has a very unique voice.
- That's nice. - Congratulations.
He has a precious voice.
By the way, you were strongly supported by Gu Ra.
Gu Ra even waved his handkerchief.
He is without equal...
in the field of musical. I knew it was him.
Do you sound like this even when you are in a good mood?
No, I play with my son in a thin voice.
I see. Do you have a son?
Yes. He entered a college this year.
(Does he have a son who's that old?)
- He is my son's age. - That's right.
- I see. - I told you he's my friend.
- You have a lot in common. - Right.
I see.
He cast off his tough image...
and impressed people with his powerful...
and low voice today. Please give Kim Pub Lae...
a round of applause.
- Go, Pub Lae. - Thank you.
Go, Pub Lae.
(Go, Pub Lae!)
Even though I didn't play...
a villain in dramas that much,
people think I did. Maybe that's because I look tough.
If there's a chance, I'd like...
to play a role like a friendly man in the neighborhood.
I want to be more familiar to people playing such roles.
I will try harder to become an actor...
to live up my name. Thank you.
Singing Puss in Boots beat Kim Pub Lae...
and moved on to Round Three.
The mysterious music show, King of Mask Singer.
Now we have the final round left...
for the 51st King of Mask Singer.
We have two masked singers...
gnashing their teeth...
to beat the King of Mask Singer.
They look very determined.
Now, they will sing in Final Round.
I will have them on the stage again.
Please give them a round of applause.
(The fierce war is about to begin.)
We have two masked singers for Final Round.
They both are female singers.
Ballerina and Singing Puss.
They will be singing in Final Round.
Ballerina, you've made it to Round Three.
How do you feel now?
(Shouting out of joy)
I was very nervous in Round One.
I felt the same way in Round Two.
And now, I'm really nervous again.
She sounds so cute.
By the way,
I want to sit on the throne.
(Chilled)
Look at Swallow.
- She sounds like a young girl. - It's his first time...
to sit on the throne.
What about you, Singing Puss?
I'm glad that...
I get to sing the three songs I prepared for today.
Now that I'm here, I want to see him close up.
You do?
You'd better gird up your loins then.
Swallow, come on out!
Come on out!
(Frightened)
(The female singers are being provoking.)
The female mask singers are very threatening.
Swallow, aren't you scared of them?
Singing Puss just said...
she wanted to see me close up.
But I don't want to do that.
(Really?)
Because...
they both are taller than me.
I see.
- I will stay here. - No good can come from being there.
That's right.
I'm not scared of them...
because they are so pretty.
They are so pretty.
I was happy watching their performances.
- Were you? - Yes. But the performance...
- I prepared is quite powerful. - Goodness.
Please expect to see my performance.
- Okay. - Thank you.
He looks very confident as the King of Mask Singer.
Their performances in Round Three...
will be compared with Swallow's.
Please try your best for Round Three, Final Round.
First,
let's meet Ballerina.
(Final Round begins.)
She has an amazing voice.
I bet she will sing a ballad song.
- I think so. - She looks calm.
She sang "Maria" in Round Two.
I'm ready to be impressed.
(Tension around the stage makes your lips parched.)
(After the refreshing performance of "Maria",)
(what song is she singing?)
(Her competitors are watching her anxiously.)
(What's Ballerina's last blow?)
("Last Love" by Park Ki Young)
(Her cute and cheerful look is gone.)
(She sings in a mature voice with sorrow.)
(Her sentimental voice makes her sound like she is sobbing.)
(Sorrowful and heartrending regret)
It's nice. It's nice.
(The more her memories fade,)
(the deeper her longing becomes.)
(Melody carries resonance that is as heavy as sorrow.)
(He springs up from his seat to give a standing ovation.)
- Isn't she good? - She is good.
She is good.
(She really is good.)
(Her sentimentality pierces the heart.)
It's clear that she has years of experience.
- She is a seasoned artist. - That's right.
(Who is she?)
(House Band)
(Her vocalization eases and tightens the heart.)
(Each note she hits with precision...)
(contains sadness.)
(Impressed)
(Her singing skills put everyone in awe.)
(A heartrending performance of "Last Love" by Ballerina)
(It was the best performance.)
She is incredible. She doesn't get tired.
She is an energizer.
(Her immense energy overwhelmed the panelists.)
- She is incredibly strong. - That's right.
Opposing her is...
a masked singer who beat Lee Bon and Kim Pub Lae.
She has sentimentality like a swamp you can't escape.
Singing Puss in Boots.
(She walks with resolution to begin the era of cats.)
(We look forward to a good performance.)
I am excited.
(Good luck.)
(The panelists are excited for the performance.)
(However, in their minds is...)
(a lingering impression left by Ballerina.)
(To meet Swallow on the stage,)
(Singing Puss prepared an impressive performance.)
("Making a New Ending for This Story" by Han Dong Geun)
(This song sounds familiar.)
(It's a song by Han Dong Geun that traveled up music charts.)
(She carefully unfolds what's inside her heart.)
(She has a beautiful voice that is soaked with sorrow.)
(She is good.)
(She expresses emotions delicately.)
(Her voice is both lithe and powerful.)
(I retrace my steps in time)
(And go back to you)
(We met like fate and had a painful parting)
(I will make a new ending for this story)
(At the last scene)
(You have to be with me)
(She shows desperation to rewrite a breakup.)
She is an expert.
(She is really talented.)
(Even her rivals are absorbed in Singing Puss's story.)
(Like steps of a cat,)
(her voice has a sense of presence despite being light.)
(Impressed)
(I wish I could go back to you.)
(She shouts out her desperate wish.)
(This is the page in which we broke up)
(Her sorrow reaches the sky.)
(I don't know what to do.)
(If it's okay with you)
(I will make a new ending for this story)
(Sorrowful emotions pierce their hearts.)
(It's a story that was rewritten with deep sentimentality.)
(Singing Puss showed the epitome of sorrow on the stage.)
(The lingering impression makes their hearts heavy.)
She was amazing.
(It was the best.)
Final Round came to an end.
I want to hear King of Mask Singer's thoughts...
on their performances. What did you think?
Their performances were impressive...
and fitting of Final Round.
I suddenly feel anxious...
- after their performances. - You said you will be strong.
(I will be strong today.)
(He spoke with confidence.)
- I thought I was well-prepared. - Right.
But suddenly, I feel nervous.
- Suddenly, you feel nervous. - Yes. Yes.
You want to stay there long, but you are nervous.
Yes, I just sat here.
So I feel really nervous.
(He's been the King of Mask Singer only for a week.)
(Don't be nervous.)
He had been very confident before they performed.
I'm suddenly breaking out in a cold sweat.
- I know. Your voice is weak now. - I know.
But you are very talented.
So please surprise us with your performance.
Please give it up for him.
(Please root for him.)
Swallow will perform with an aim to be...
the 51th King of Mask Singer.
Let's see whose voice they thought was more charming.
Young Seok?
They both sang sad songs so beautifully that...
my heart is getting tangled inside.
Ballerina showed...
something new on each round,
and it was so touching that she always sang sincerely...
as if it was her first performance.
On this round, she sang...
with an unexpected singing method.
She made her song sound very expressive...
by singing with a belting technique, which is very tricky to do.
She let out her voice very strongly...
and conveyed the feelings well.
It was a beautiful performance.
(Thank you.)
In case of Singing Puss,
it didn't feel like she was singing the song.
It felt more like she was ruling the song.
- She was ruling the song. - Yes.
- The melody was her subject. - Yes.
She comforted it, hugged it,
sometimes scolded it, and sometimes was indifferent to it.
She made the melody become her loyal subject,
and she made the performance perfect.
(The melody was like her loyal subject.)
Can a cat sound so sorrowful?
(She giggles.)
He seems to be still immersed in the feeling.
What did you think, Hyun Chul?
We are here as experts.
So we are supposed to analyze why the singer...
- is good. - Right.
Singing Puss is good.
That's all...
I could think of.
She's got the ability...
to express all the emotions...
- contained in the lyrics. - Yes.
It conveyed the desperate need...
to rewrite the novel's ending.
It felt like I was just about...
to get to the end of the novel.
(Her performance made him feel like that.)
That's the state she put me in.
I wonder which song she will sing if she becomes...
- Yes. - the King of Mask Singer.
I wonder if that song's lyrics will strike me as hard.
I am very curious.
I'm surprised at...
how well Ballerina can hold her breath.
- She has a good lung capacity. - She has a good lung capacity.
And her power of...
transferring that power into the song...
surpassed my imagination.
That's a great strength.
I think this is why people suspected her...
to be a musical actress.
All right. Dong Gyun?
I have to confess something.
- I used this for the first time. - Okay.
I had to choose one of the two.
Right. It's either 1 or 2.
Thankfully, my thumbs are quite big.
So I closed my eyes and pressed the middle.
Did you? So you don't know which number you chose.
I don't know.
- The votes are already counted. - The voting is meaningless.
They were equally amazing.
The only difference was that they had different styles.
- I see. - Yes.
Techniques are important to singers.
But some people just have amazing voices.
The first performer, Ballerina has an amazing voice.
- Her voice is amazing. - Her voice itself is amazing.
Can you just say "ah"?
(Her voice is changed.)
Her voice is amazing.
But her voice is changed.
Of course, disregard that.
Anyway, she has a nice voice.
Yes. Personally,
I want her to sing a duet with me on my concert.
- Do you want her to sing with you? - I want to perform with her...
because her voice is perfect for a classical song.
She can easily pull off a classical performance.
She can do that.
Don't you think you're too biased in her favor?
No.
You have to compliment Singing Puss too.
Singing Puss' singing...
wasn't just a singing.
It was more of a feeling.
- A feeling. - Yes. If you think about it,
singing well is like this. When you sing a sad song,
the audience should get sad.
If the singer gets sad, she's not a good singer.
When she sang, I felt sad.
(He was touched by her performance.)
She's a very good singer.
Don't you want to perform with her?
- Of course I want to. - You want her too.
I want to hear her head voice.
Right.
Can you show me how you sing with your head voice?
- Head voice. - Yes. Like soprano.
Is it an audition?
We won't alter her voice this time.
- What should we do? - Sing this using your head voice.
(He shows her what to do.)
(She sings it with her head voice.)
Like this?
(It's a soprano tone.)
Excellent.
(Let's sing a duet together.)
Jung Chi. You look very sad right now.
I am still immersed in the song.
- Goodness. - I am.
I guessed Ballerina to be a musical actress.
But watching her on this round made me think...
that she's someone who can sing all genres.
I think she's a master of many techniques.
It almost felt like she wanted to break Swallow's legs.
(It was as if Ballerina was ready to break Swallow's legs.)
She was pressing her breath,
and it even scared me a little.
You felt her will.
- Yes. - And it gave you a chill.
- Yes, it scared me. - Yes.
In case of Singing Puss,
I think she's already an established singer.
I'm sure you all realized that she is...
a seasoned singer.
When she was singing, I thought her nose was cute.
Her nose is very cute.
I have a dog,
and she made me fall for a cat again.
I see.
All right.
Now, I will announce...
the result of...
Final Round.
Ballerina impressed us...
with her sorrowful emotion.
And Singing Puss dragged us into a whirlpool of emotion...
with the most delicate emotion.
Between the two mask singers,
who will be the 51th King of Singer?
The winner will be revealed now.
Who will be the winner?
(She had the voice of great volume.)
(She expressed the most sorrowful emotion.)
(Ballerina's powerful voice filled the entire space.)
(She didn't miss any of the delicate emotions.)
(Her techniques were simply perfect.)
(Singing Puss had perfect techniques and emotions.)
Between Ballerina and Singing Puss,
who will be the winner and...
become the rival of Swallow?
The winner is...
(The tension is higher than ever.)
Go, Singing Puss!
(It's the competition between two female vocalists.)
(This will determine their fates.)
(Everyone is waiting for the King of Mask Singer candidate.)
(Please reveal it now.)
The King of Mask Singer candidate will be revealed.
Who is it? The winner is...
Singing Puss won.
(Singing Puss won.)
(Singing Puss goes to Final Match.)
(It's too bad for Ballerina.)
(It was an intense competition.)
Singing Puss beat Ballerina.
(The final score was 75 to 24.)
The score is 75 to 24.
She got 75 votes on Round Three.
Singing Puss received 75 votes...
and beat Ballerina.
Please go back to the waiting room.
We will see you on the next round.
Please give her a round of applause.
(Shortly, Ballerina's identity will be revealed.)
Singing Puss became...
the rival of Swallow.
No way.
(She's amazed.)
I don't know what will happen on the next round.
But I hope the King of Mask Singer will do his best too.
(She's thrilled.)
We will reveal...
her identity.
Please go to the back of the stage.
Now, Ballerina, please take off your mask...
and reveal your face.
(She had the singing method of a musical actress.)
(She showed us that her voice had great volume.)
(Is she a musical actress?)
(She was thrilled by...)
(every compliment, no matter how small it is.)
(Is she a singer who is over 30 years old?)
(Or is she an older rookie?)
Please take off your mask and reveal your face.
She is...
(No way!)
No way.
(Are they shocked?)
She might be a famous idol.
(He's very curious.)
Please reveal your face.
She is...
Lina who used to be part of the group The Grace.
(Is Ballerina really Lina?)
(Following Stephanie and Dana,)
(Lina came to King of Mask Singer.)
(It's great to see her since it's been a very long time.)
I haven't seen her in a long time.
Members of The Grace came to our show,
and among the four members,
Lina is the third one to visit.
Please say hello to the viewers.
Yes. Hello.
It's been a long time. I'm Lina. It's good to see you.
(She's the leader of The Grace, a group that debuted in 2005.)
(The Grace was loved by many fans as they showed...)
(great singing abilities despite their powerful dance moves.)
(Among them, Lina showed off her unrivaled sexy charms.)
(Lina has been cast as the heroine of many musicals.)
(She's doing great as a musical actress now.)
(Lina, a woman of mysterious and graceful charms)
People say everything changes in 10 years.
After The Grace stopped working as a group,
this is her first time in 10 years to be on stage...
- singing by herself. - Yes.
I assume things have changed a lot during those years.
I actually got married.
Yes. I got married in 2014.
I've been singing and acting...
in musicals rather than TV shows.
That's how I've been performing in front of the audience.
I wanted to let more people hear me sing, not just...
the audience of the musical.
That's why I came to this show.
(She came to interact with more audience.)
It's been 16 years since you made your debut,
and you've been a singer for a long time.
I heard you've been...
worried that your voice...
has no distinctive feature.
Even when we were working as The Grace,
I never performed on stage by myself.
(She never had a solo performance.)
I thought my voice wasn't good enough for that.
That's why I was really scared to be on this stage.
I felt a lot of pressure,
but the panelists have given me...
many great compliments.
I'm so grateful.
They've given me courage to work harder.
- I see. - You sang "Maria" in Round Two.
It was so powerful.
You sang two songs that have...
extremely high notes so easily without trying hard.
I think you achieved it through...
a number of practices and trainings to improve yourself.
I believe you've made...
your presence known to everyone...
through your stage today.
- That's right. - Thank you.
She used to be an idol singer, and she came back to the stage...
and sang by herself after 10 years.
She made her presence known through her stage today.
- Please give her a big hand. - Go, Lina!
Thank you.
(Lina gave a touching performance.)
(Please let us hear your great songs more often.)
(Smiling)
You're amazing. I hope you win.
(She encourages Singing Puss.)
I had so much fun.
I sing by myself...
only when I'm auditioning.
I sang by myself when I auditioned to be a singer when I was younger,
and I sing by myself when I audition for parts in musicals.
That's the only moment that I get to stand alone and sing.
It felt like I was on an audition today as well.
I could see the panelists watching me.
I think the result of today's audition...
isn't so bad. I had a lot of fun.
This is the result of Round Three.
Singing Puss in Boots defeated Lina...
and moved on to Final Match.
The mysterious music show, King of Mask Singer.
The only thing remains now is...
Nimble Gangnam Swallow's stage to defend his throne.
What kind of performance will he show us...
to defend his title as the King of Mask Singer?
This match will determine the 51st King of Mask Singer.
Let's watch Swallow's stage.
Final Match that will decide the 51st King of Mask Singer.
Can he fly high and achieve his second win?
The 50th King of Mask Singer,
Nimble Gangnam Swallow.
(The powerful wing strokes that show his return...)
(will open the door of the King of Mask Singer.)
(With warm chirping that heralds the approach of spring,)
(Swallow comes out to the stage.)
(You can feel the spring in the air already.)
(He is dashing.)
He's coming out with a halo.
He's like a small giant.
(Show us a great stage.)
He looks like Sun Wukong
It's like Sun Wukong is coming out.
You'll see him as a handsome man as he starts to sing.
Because he sings so well?
When he sings, he doesn't look so small.
Who is it? I'm so curious.
(He's such a talented singer.)
(It's his first match defending his title, which is the hardest.)
(His opponent is also an amazing singer,)
(but he is still confident that his stage will be powerful.)
(Everyone is curious about his stage.)
(What kind of a powerful stage did he prepare to win this match?)
I think it's going to be fantastic.
(Is he really singing this song?)
("Beautiful" by Crush)
(The heartbreaking sorrow that the drama "Goblin" showed)
(It's a sad song about love beyond death.)
(He sings about beautiful romance...)
(with his mellow and mystical voice.)
(Oh my goodness.)
(He slowly fills the song with his emotions.)
(He's kindly waiting for the audience to catch up.)
(His emotions pour out as if the river burst its banks.)
(It's a variation of emotions Swallow plays.)
(Amazed)
(His singing makes the audience hold their breaths.)
(Gosh)
(He is like a magician who moves people's hearts.)
(I now see him as Gong Yoo.)
(He hides his sophisticated techniques and singing ability...)
(and sings only with his voice.)
(Gosh. I love it.)
(The beautiful moments with his love...)
(have turned into beautiful memories.)
(As happy they were, the parting hurts even more.)
(The sadness permeates through your heart.)
(The audience becomes the protagonist of his story.)
(It's a cry that can't be heard.)
(The pain that he has to bear alone)
("Beautiful" by Swallow, the pain of parting that touches your heart)
(Impressed)
(Who is it? How can he be so good?)
(They still have lingering emotions.)
(What should we do about him?)
(They assimilate into his emotions as if it's their own story.)
Isn't he good?
(It feels sad yet liberating.)
I love him.
I love him so much.
He is the King of Mask Singer for a reason.
(They want to hear him sing a little more.)
I didn't want the song to end.
Final Match is now over.
Now, it's time for you to make a decision.
Press number one for Singing Puss in Boots,
and press number two for Nimble Gangnam Swallow.
This is your final decision.
It's the last choice you have to make to determine the winner.
All votes are in.
While we count the score, please say hello to each other.
Attention. Bow.
(Thank you for a great stage.)
It was a match between Singing Puss and Swallow.
Things are a little awkward.
How did you like their performances, Young Seok?
It's not over until it's over.
They sang such difficult songs...
so easily.
First of all, Swallow,
even though you are short,
but you looked imposing while singing.
It was amazing.
I know this is a popular song,
so it has definite advantages.
But I believe you had a good strategy.
- In terms of time? - Yes.
It is very important to choose what song to sing.
You should choose a song that people want to hear.
In that sense, I think he chose a good song for today.
It's not a sad song.
But the song brought a tear to my eyes.
I've become a big fan of him.
So I will always think about him even when I eat meat.
(What should we do?)
- Even when he eats meat? - He is a word magician.
What was that?
He will always think about Swallow even when he eats meat.
- I see. - Some would think...
it wasn't fair to choose this song.
But the thing is, this song doesn't have high notes...
and it is rather calm and slow.
So I was worried about that.
However, he sang it very powerfully.
I was surprised to see that.
I supposed the biggest advantage is his voice.
He chose a good song, but he's the one who made it great.
I thought it was wonderful.
Sometimes...
people become overly emotional and sentimental while singing.
I don't think it is good.
But Swallow gave the audience...
room to feel his emotion while singing.
(He sang smoothly without imposing his emotion on anyone.)
(It makes the audience appreciate the song themselves.)
(It makes the song more sentimental.)
He's so good. I can't believe this.
He sounded so comfortable singing.
I think will probably decide...
the match.
I want to go to Gangnam with Swallow.
While he sang the song,
he looked like Gong Yoo to me.
(I did it!)
Even to a man?
- That's right. - Gosh.
We felt the same way.
I know.
I almost went down to the stage to draw the sword.
- I'm kidding. - What was that?
Why would you say that? Are you Kim Go Eun or what?
Whenever I heard King of Mask Singer sing,
I couldn't help notice whose voice it was.
But his voice was new, and he was still good.
Even though he is a little short,
once he started singing,
he looked like a giant to me. It was so cool.
I see.
You were amazing.
He captivated women's heart with his song.
I'd like to say the opposite.
I know he is a good singer.
I've known that since last week.
They say he chose a good song,
but men are...
sick of "Goblin".
People keep talking about the drama.
I thought it was almost over, but he sang the song again.
It made me a little upset.
I'm not sure if people would like it or not.
I see. I bet many of men in here...
must have learned the song against their will.
- Everyone listens to the song. - I know.
That could be a decisive factor.
It could be a head wind to him. That's what he says.
Hyun Chul, can you compare his performance to Singing Puss's?
Singing Puss had to...
sing with deep emotions because of the song lyrics.
She delivered the message of the lyrics with deep emotions.
Meanwhile, Swallow sounded chic.
If you don't like it, I will just step back here. He was like this.
Let's say they broke up with their lovers.
Singing Puss sounded like as if she was apologizing...
to her boyfriend for her fault.
(Even when her lover leaves her heartlessly,)
(she tries once more for her love.)
(She desperately approaches him again.)
Meanwhile,
Swallow never apologizes even if his lover leaves him.
(His lover leaves him and he is left alone.)
(Even though he feels an excruciating pain,)
(he guts it out alone.)
She will understand my feelings for her someday.
It's like he puts up with it thinking that way.
The episode we are shooting today...
- will be aired three weeks later. - That's right.
We will have to wait three weeks to hear his song again.
If I knew it would be so good,
I would have brought an empty bottle...
and put his song into the bottle.
Then I'd appreciate it little by little...
until his song is aired.
It's just too hard to wait three weeks.
I see.
Am I embarrassing you?
- I'm serious. - She needs an empty bottle.
- It was that good. - You even wanted to save his song.
- That's what you mean. - Right. I can't wait...
until his song is aired.
Can you guess whom women vote for?
- Of course. - I'm not sure.
I don't think all the women voted for Swallow.
- I agree. - That's because the song...
Singing Puss sang is...
loved by both men and women.
No one can foresee the result here.
Whoever wins this match, it'd be reasonable.
I see. Now, I will announce...
the result of Final Match.
The result is very interesting.
Why? What happened?
The margin of votes among non-entertainer panelists is...
only three.
(Surprised)
The margin of votes among entertainer panelists is four.
If non-entertainer and entertainer panelists made different choices,
the result could be overturned.
Please show the result.
(She caught people's eyes with her moist voice.)
(Her voice sounds refreshing but firm.)
(She showed off her great singing skills in Round One.)
(She's not just a cute cat anymore.)
(Her mournful voice showed the pain and sorrow of love.)
(She gripped the audience with her high-pitched voice in Round Two.)
(Her soulful voice lifted people's hearts.)
(She delicately delivered the message of lyrics.)
(Singing Puss in Boots is the queen of controlling emotions.)
(He faced his competitor with deep emotions.)
(His sweet voice stirred the hearts of both men and women.)
(His powerful vibrato filled the stage.)
(His performance is inviolable.)
Who will be the 51st King of Mask Singer?
The winner is...
(Excited)
(I can't watch this.)
(The result will be decided by a narrow majority.)
(Who will win the gold mask?)
(It is such a cliff-hanger.)
The winner is...
Coming soon.
New singers are coming to threaten the 51st King of Mask Singer.
He was like Sung Si Kyung back then.
Excitement and chemistry.
It was shocking.
The challengers' identities were shocking.
(The panelists are astonished.)
It will be the most splendid round ever.
I was about to go home as I thought it was Final Match.
Now they are working.
It will be continued.
It's time make a decision.
Will Swallow remain on the throne?
Or will Singing Puss become the new King of Mask Singer?
Who is the 51st King of Mask Singer?
The winner is...
(Singing Puss in Boots wins.)
Singing Puss won.
Singing Puss!
(After 18 weeks, they finally have the Queen of Mask Singer.)
(Singing Puss clipped Swallow's wings.)
(She is the new rising star.)
(Stunned)
(It's Singing Puss's counter insurgency.)
Singing Puss won.
(The score is 53 to 46.)
The final score is 53 to 46.
She got three more votes from the non-entertainer panelists...
and four more votes from the entertainer panelists.
With a margin of seven votes, Singing Puss beat Swallow.
We will present her...
with the gold mask and robe.
(The robe fits her well.)
She's the first...
Queen of Mask Singer since last November.
Please tell us how you feel now.
My goal was...
to sing three songs and see Swallow close up.
Now that I'm here in the robe,
I'm very grateful. Thank you very much.
She will leave the stage immediately for security.
Please give her a round of applause.
(She's the first Queen of Mask Singer of 2017.)
After 18 weeks, we finally have the Queen of Mask Singer.
What's happening? I'm wearing the robe.
My goodness.
They say there hasn't been a Queen of Mask Singer for a long time.
I feel so proud.
What do I do? I'm just so happy. Thank you so much.
I'll be back again after practicing hard.
Bye.
- It's time to take off your mask. - Okay.
Who on earth is this gentleman?
He's a little giant.
I'm so curious about who he is.
- Please take off your mask... - Who is he?
and reveal your face.
(He knows how to make his own sound.)
(Does he own a perfect technique?)
(Is his vocal tone rhythm and blues and pop style like Eric Benet?)
(A new type of singer that surprised everyone with sophisticated voice?)
(His high-quality voice even purified men's hearts.)
(He isn't overrated even if I praised him so highly.)
Please take off your mask and reveal your face.
The identity of the 50th King of Mask Singer is revealed now.
Who is he?
(How could this even happen?)
Who on earth is he?
Who's he? Who's he?
(Who is he that they're responding like that?)
(Please take off your mask quickly.)
The identity of the 50th King of Mask Singer is revealed now.
Who is he? Who is he?
He is...
Bong Gu of the talented duo,
Gilgubonggu.
(Was Swallow Bong Gu?)
Bong Gu!
(How could I not recognize him?)
(You were awesome.)
Gilgubonggu?
Hello, I'm Bong Gu of Gilgubonggu.
(He debuted in 2013 as a member of a male duo, Gilgubonggu.)
(He had a hard time as an obscure singer working as a backup singer.)
(He came into the spotlight for his outstanding musicality.)
("Going Crazy", "JOA", "DalAh" and so on are his hit songs.)
(He's an acknowledged vocalist of a next generation.)
(He even sang the soundtracks of many different dramas.)
(His voice added sensitivity to those dramas.)
(He has such a soulful and sweet voice.)
(Bong Gu is a talented rising vocalist.)
Before he debuted, he was a backup singer for such as Kim Jo Han,
Kim Tae Woo, Son Ho Young,
Lee Juck, Park Hyo Shin and so on.
He worked as a backup singer...
for those talented singers.
He's Bong Gu who's known for...
his great singing skills.
(Lee Juck, Tae Yang, Park Hyo Shin)
(Baek Z Young, Gummy, Lyn, Kim Tae Woo, Girl's Day, Seung Ri)
I head you had ups and downs...
until you were able to let out your voice on stage.
It's been 13 years since I worked together with Gilgu...
- as a duo. - I see.
I first met him when I was 20.
We kept working together as a team since then,
but we couldn't release our albums, so we moved here and there.
Later, I happened to sing as a backup singer...
and Gil Gu became a teacher to teach students.
- We finally debuted four years ago. - I see.
You're talented enough...
to become King of Mask Singer.
But I heard you don't feel that confident in singing.
Is it true?
I'm an obscure singer. Many people still don't know about me.
So when I get to sing somewhere else,
people would say, "Who's that guy?".
If I don't hear people clap,
I get so discouraged and intimidated.
I lacked confidence in myself for things like that.
But as I started to appear on a TV show like this,
- I got more confident. - That's a good thing.
When you aren't famous,
it's hard to get confidence...
however hard you try to encourage yourself.
As I listened to your song,
I think you'll become a famous singer within this year.
You have a voice that will lead you to your heyday.
Your name is a little tacky too.
- It is. - You sing in a sophisticated way.
You sang a song that made everyone feel proud.
Your team name is Gilgubonggu.
I feel sorry that you didn't stay longer as your team name.
But I don't feel sorry that I have to send him now.
I think he's going to come to our show again soon.
(We expect more from him as he's an acknowledged singer.)
He overcame his limits...
and took one step closer to people by interacting with them on stage.
Please give him a big round of applause again.
Bong Gu!
(King of Mask Singer Part 2 continues.)
Did you get your hair done exactly like the mask?
Does it look the same?
Come to think of it, it looks similar in a way.
It does.
(The tail of his hair is styled up like the mask.)
(He found a ring of fate on his last day.)
Singing as a background singer is fun to me.
I'm doing it because it's fun and exciting.
But the one thing I feel sorry about is...
that I can't interact with people with my song and my stage.
I always think how happy it'd be when it really happens.
I guess I quenched my thirst a bit...
on King of Mask Singer.
I ran here and there even though I'm not a good dancer.
It feels like I had my wish fulfilled.
Thank you for supporting Nimble Gangnam Swallow.
Thank you, everyone.
You were with Nimble Gangnam Swallow so far.
I'm out to drive swallows
(King of Mask Singer Part 2 continues after a while.)
