The mysterious music show, King of Mask Singer.
Last week,
he seized the stage with his groovy performance.
He is a singer with beautiful vocal cords...
who can cover a wide range of genres.
He came to the new throne.
He is the 50th King of Mask Singer,
Nimble Gangnam Swallow.
(It is a beautiful night.)
(It's nice to see you again.)
(Jung Chae Yeon of DIA)
We will help you feel spring...
with heartwarming songs that beat the spring cold spell.
The mysterious music show, King of Mask Singer.
I am your unbiased show host, Kim Seong Ju. It's nice to see you.
(Kim Jung Min)
(Choi Byung Chan of Victon)
Today is the day on which frogs awake from hibernation...
according to the lunar calendar's marking of seasons.
Just at the right time,
we had the new King of Mask Singer...
giving off a spring vibe, Nimble Gangnam Swallow.
Swallow, please say hello to our viewers.
(Please give me your hand.)
(What is he doing?)
Shake off all worries and Cha Cha Cha together
(Impressed)
(Let me do it one more time.)
Bury all sorrows and Cha Cha Cha together
(Cha Cha Cha)
- Cha Cha Cha - Cha Cha Cha
(He's cute.)
I'm in my prime.
I'm Nimble Gangnam Swallow. It's nice to meet you.
(They greet him with hearty cheers.)
This is his first day to sit on the throne.
Our viewers even said...
he will bring good luck to King of Mask Singer.
Last week, Swallow defeated Anpan Prince...
who had been in the sole lead for the past few weeks.
What are your resolutions for today's Final Match?
I didn't know I'd be able to make it,
but I became the King of Mask Singer before I knew it.
Today, I prepared...
a song that will captivate your hearts.
I will fly like a swallow...
and grip the whole country...
including Seoul, Daejeon, Daegu, and even Busan. Thank you.
Great.
(We will look forward to seeing you on the stage.)
Gu Ra, what do you think he needs...
to stay on the throne for long?
Sometimes people figure out...
who the King of Mask Singer is.
But most of people have no idea...
- who he is. - That's right.
They still have different opinions...
about his identity.
I think he is lucky that people don't know him.
Why is that?
- He can remain mysterious. - I see.
And he can stay free of all prejudice.
I guess he should make the best of it...
to show a good performance.
Swallow needs to beware of women.
- Really? - Today he should be careful...
around female contestants.
He should be cautious around female contestants.
That's right.
Jung Min, we haven't seen you for a long time.
- Hello. - She's Kim Jung Min.
- Please welcome her. - Hello.
- Jung Min is here. - It's nice to see her again.
Why are you being so nice to her?
- Please let me talk. - I wasn't being nice to her.
She recently had a thing with Gu Ra.
There was a rumor that they were in a relationship.
- Jung Min. - Yes?
What do you think? Do you like Swallow?
Well...
His height looks cute...
in the flesh.
- His height is cute? - Yes.
Gu Ra said he should be careful around women.
I hope he won't get himself talked about.
- Well today... - I hope he will have a long run.
You hope so.
Jung Min, I hope you will enjoy today's performances...
with an easy mind.
Gu Ra will take a good care of you.
Now...
let's begin...
the first match of Round One.
(King of Mask Singer)
The first match of Round One.
He will solve the colors of a song with his genius voice.
Let's Go around Cube.
Knock, knock, knock, everyone.
Let's Go around Cube is coming.
(I will become the King of Mask Singer.)
(He looks cool.)
He's coming while solving a cube.
Wow, he's wearing a three-dimensional mask.
His opponent is...
an archer aiming at the King of Mask Singer.
He has a sweet voice pleasing your ears.
Dart Man Serenades My Ears.
(Dart Man Serenades My Ears)
I will hit your hearts in the center with my song.
(I will hot on the target of King of Mask Singer.)
(He looks cute.)
(Get ready and shoot!)
Shoot!
We have two male singers.
(The two male singers look imposing on the stage.)
(Swallow greets them with joyful dance.)
(What would their duet song sound like?)
("I Want to Fall in Love" by Kim Jo Han)
His voice is nice.
(His masculine voice sounds heavy and rich.)
(It sounds very emotional.)
(Amazed)
(He has a sweet voice like a young boy.)
(Surprised)
(His clear voice makes everyone's heart flutter.)
(Now he's living his life well...)
(even without her.)
(But he is overcome with loneliness.)
(Gosh.)
(Cube's rough but honest voice arouses sympathy.)
(I love it.)
(Loneliness comes and asks me)
(Are you really happy at this moment when you are alone?)
(The song is about a distant memory like stars in the dark sky.)
(I'm lonely too.)
(They have completely different tones of voice.)
(He has a sweet voice evocative of spring.)
(Loneliness behind a sweet love story)
(His soft voice leaves a deep impression.)
(A man and a young boy sing...)
(in mysterious harmony.)
(He confesses his feeling with a throb in his voice.)
(This is amazing.)
(They sing with deep emotions and amazing techniques.)
(Why is it so lonely?)
(I want to hurt)
(Because of love again)
(It is a sweet harmony of two men who want to fall in love again.)
(Wonderful)
It was amazing. It's unbelievable.
Where did they find out such good singers?
The result would be just a matter of personal taste.
The first match...
of Round One is over.
Young Seok, how did you like it?
When spring comes,
a song like this touches my heart.
It really does.
It woke my romantic cells from a deep sleep.
(Really?)
What should I do with them now?
What about your wife?
(I love you, honey.)
Both of them sang the song very nicely.
But their styles are different.
Cube has...
a voice that is rich in iron.
- Iron? Why? - I don't even know why,
but his voice sounds strong.
It has an unpolished beauty that sounds aggressive.
He sang with big gestures.
It has wild...
and intellectual charms at the same time.
It was amazing.
You said his voice is wild.
He is wild.
- I can see that. - He is a tough man...
rich in iron.
Then what about Dart Man?
He has a soft voice like milk powder.
- Milk powder? - Yes.
- Milk power. - He has a sweet voice.
Both adults and children...
would like his voice.
He is a man with a flower garden in his heart.
He has a beautiful heart...
and its beauty is delivered through his song.
All right.
A familiar face has visited King of Mask Singer today.
The world-class baritone,
Kim Dong Kyu is here.
It's good to have him here.
A mustache is his trademark.
- It's good to be here. - How did you like the performance?
Cube has a voice that suits the night.
- His voice suits the night. - Yes.
Dart Man on the right...
has an incredibly clear voice that suits the morning.
- That's what I think. - Their voices are different.
- That's how their voices sound. - That's what I think.
Are both of them singers?
Not necessarily.
- They might not be singers. - I knew it.
(Laughing)
He is giving an awkward laugh.
Cube's gesture...
of shaking his body...
reminded me of the exaggerated way comedians show.
It looks forced.
That's why I think he is an actor who can sing well...
or someone in my line of profession.
- I think Cube worked out a lot. - I agree.
During the performance,
he showed us a proper squat.
When he sat down and stood up, he went down this much...
- while he was singing. - Exactly.
He went down this much.
(Squat)
(He gathers his energy...)
(and gives a proper squat.)
I think he is someone who has squatted a lot.
Hyun Chul, what do you think?
Both of them sang very well.
- I think they are singers. - Are both of them singers?
- I think both of them are singers. - I see.
Cube reminds me of Joe Cocker.
- Jococker. - Joe Cocker.
- Yes. - Okay.
It's not Jococker, but Joe Cocker.
It's Joe.
Joe. I got it. Joe Cocker.
Joe Cocker is a singer who sang "Unchain My Heart"...
and "Up Where We Belong".
When he sings,
he moves up and down like Cube did.
- He reminded me of Joe Cocker. - Joe Cocker.
I think Dart Man...
- is an idol singer. - An idol singer.
- A member of an idol group. - You think he is an idol singer.
Not many people wear matching top and bottom...
once they are past their 20s.
Maybe he is a member of Astro.
Chae Yeon, what do you think?
- Chae Yeon. - His outfit...
does seem like an idol singer's...
- Dart Man? - judging by sleeves and T-shirt.
You noticed the T-shirt he is wearing underneath.
Yes.
He has a body...
- of an idol singer. - That's right.
His outfit looks different from the other masked singer.
Even from shoes, their styles differ.
Do idol singers wear shoes like Dart Man's?
(My goodness.)
- Cube seems a bit old. - That's right.
He seems old.
Dart Man has loafers while Cube has driving shoes.
That's the difference.
Now, they will show their specialties.
Both of them are fluent in Japanese.
Please say hello to each other.
Cube and Dart Man.
(It's nice to meet you.)
(Nice to meet you too.)
(I am Dart Man.)
I am Dart Man.
(I am Cube.)
(Embarrassed)
Even I know what you did wrong. You are Cube.
He is Dart Man. For goodness' sake.
- I am sorry. - It's okay.
All right.
Did you have a good dream that can make you a king of mask singer?
(Yes, I did.)
Did you have a good dream?
(I did.)
I had a dream after many dreamless nights.
In my dream, a big whale was flying.
Was a big whale flying?
(That's right.)
(It's a mix of Korean and Japanese.)
(That whale was me.)
Even though I don't know much Japanese,
I can understand him perfectly.
I think he said...
he dreamed about a flying whale.
Did I understand him correctly? What did he say, Cube?
Did a whale fly?
- That's right. - A whale flew.
- It was a big whale. - It was a really big whale.
(Exaggerating)
What did he say?
- I am not sure. - You are not sure.
That's right.
(Cube is sly.)
Why did I understand them perfectly?
(Laughing)
I don't think...
- Cube is a comedian. - He isn't a comedian.
Comedians don't make such tasteless jokes.
He isn't a comedian.
- No, he isn't. - Could he be...
a man who got married recently,
Anchor Oh Sang Jin?
Oh Sang Jin and Kim So Young...
relayed news of their upcoming wedding.
We will live happily. Thank you.
He is surprised by your guess.
All right.
His legs don't look like Oh Sang Jin's.
- His legs? - Yes.
His age...
Do you know what his legs look like?
Yes.
We were rumored to be a couple because you say such strange things.
How would you know what his legs look like?
I won't give further comments.
Please keep going.
Do you need his permission to give comments?
He scolds me too much.
Cube will show a specialty which supports the claim...
that he works out.
He can crack walnut with his one hand.
He has power.
I heard walnut shells became thin because the crop is bad these days.
That's not true.
I picked big walnuts.
- Don't talk about bad crop. - It's a feat of super strength.
We will play cheerful music.
- Please crack these walnuts. - Excuse me.
We need to hear the sound of walnuts cracking.
We don't need cheerful music.
(He cracks a walnut.)
What was that?
- How did he do that? - Let's forgo the music.
Let's forgo the music.
Please do it again.
Let's go.
(Cracking)
(My goodness.)
(He shows his Herculean strength.)
Crack the last one.
(He is a man of Herculean strength.)
- He cracked walnuts in an instant. - Show us the power of his grip.
He should crack walnuts like this.
- He should crack walnuts like this. - You want him to use his grip.
- Can he crack walnuts in this way? - Can you do that?
- Crack walnuts with your grip. - Crack two walnuts together.
Crack two walnuts together.
Try it.
No, hold two walnuts in one hand.
- He didn't understand. - It's not right.
(He didn't understand.)
Hold the walnuts in one hand.
- Hold the walnuts in one hand. - That's right.
Let's see if he can do it with one hand.
They are very distrustful.
Even though they saw you crack walnuts...
(He is incredible.)
Dart Man, give it a try.
Do it so that we can compare.
(However, he succeeded.)
(I didn't know it would crack.)
Did you have to do that?
Let Cube shine once.
Seeing him crack walnuts reminded me...
of Cheongdam-dong Whistle.
- Lee Jin Sung. - Lee Jin Sung.
What does he have to do with walnuts?
"Whistle" and "Walnut" sound similar.
(Is she equating walnut with whistle?)
"Whistle" and "Walnut".
- The words rhyme. - She is simple-minded.
Isn't she charming?
Please take your guess a bit further.
One of Dart Man's specialties is figure skating.
He will demonstrate figure skating on the ground.
- I will take off my shoes. - He is taking off his shoes.
He will demonstrate figure skating on the ground.
He will show a beautiful performance like Kim Yu Na's.
Let's see his figure skating skills. Music, please.
("Danse Macabre")
(Tilting his head)
(His movements are controlled like Kim Yu Na's.)
(Elegant)
(Stepping)
My goodness.
(His steps are fluid.)
He is moving towards the back.
That's right. He is on ice.
Triple lutz. Double.
(He is like a butterfly.)
That's right. It's a spiral.
That's right.
He is balancing himself even though he isn't on ice.
That's right. Let's see the ending pose. Spin.
Your buttons will fall off.
Finale.
Finale. That's great.
(It was perfect.)
(That was cool.)
That was cool.
He is incredible.
- I think he could be a dancer. - Do you?
I saw a ballet move.
When he jumped and turned,
it looked very natural.
How did he do it so well?
I think he could be a dancer.
I practiced very hard.
It's not a level you can achieve simply by practicing.
In order to do this,
- I even cracked a toenail. - Really?
- Yes. I practiced hard. - In that case,
did you show the performance to the members?
What? Members?
You almost caught me off guard.
It could have been successful.
- All right. - All of us are certain...
- that he is an idol singer. - Do you think the same?
It's a matter of finding out which idol group he is in.
Because he practiced hard for a figure skating performance,
I judge him to be an idol singer with a lot of free time.
- He newly debuted. - He is someone who newly debuted.
- He needs to promote his group. - He is a rookie idol singer.
- I see. - That's not true.
My gosh.
(You should relax.)
It's true. I'm just being honest.
I'm happy that they think I'm an idol singer.
- You're happy. - I'm being honest.
Are you upset that he said you aren't famous?
I just did my best to practice. I'm a hardworking person.
Are you saying you didn't do it to raise your profile?
- Yes. I just did my best. - Is that right?
- I wanted to do a good job. - It's just a minor opinion.
- Is that so? - Don't care about it so much.
- I'm sorry. - Don't worry about it.
I will now announce the result of...
the first match of Round One.
I have the result...
on my hand right now.
Gosh. The result is quite interesting.
The majority of the panelists...
and the audience have chosen different singers.
(They voted for different singers.)
The difference between the votes they got is...
only three.
I can't believe it.
(How can this be?)
Who among them won by three more votes?
Who will be the winner of this match?
Let's find out who will move on to Round Two.
(Let's find out the winner.)
(He has a deep voice that touches your heart.)
(Cube is a real man...)
(who sounds imposing and manly.)
(He has an emotional voice that makes you feel sad.)
(Dart Man is the gentlest guy...)
(who captured women's hearts with his delicate sensibility.)
Who will win this match...
and be the first one to move on to Round Two?
The winner is...
- The winner is... - The winner is...
Gosh, I'm nervous.
Is it going to be Dart Man or Cube?
Who is it?
(Did Cube turn the audience's hearts?)
(Or did Dart Man win over their hearts instead?)
(Who is the winner?)
Who will win this match...
and be the first one to move on to Round Two?
(Let's Go around Cube won.)
The winner is Cube.
(Cube got three more votes.)
(Cube will move on to Round Two.)
(We can enjoy his stage again!)
Oh, my goodness.
Cube won.
(Gosh. Thank you.)
Cube defeated Dart Man with a score of 51 to 48.
(Cube man won three more votes.)
(You did great.)
Cube won by three more votes.
Please go back to your waiting room.
Please give him a big hand.
(The identity of charming Dart Man will be revealed soon.)
Great work.
I had fun. It was a new experience for me.
I will do my best on Round Two as well. Wish me luck.
Who is Dart Man?
Let's find out with his solo performance.
Please give him a round of applause.
(His identity will be revealed.)
(He has a soft voice.)
(His clear voice would sound great in the morning.)
(He is a witty man...)
(with a great flexibility and dance skills.)
(Would he be an idol singer?)
(Is he a new idol singer who tried hard to raise his profile?)
("Sadness" by Ko Han Woo)
What song is this?
- It's "Sadness". - It's Ko Han Woo's song.
("Sadness" is a sorrowful ballad of Ko Han Woo released in 1997.)
(Oh, my.)
(His mellow voice touches people's hearts right away.)
(He calmly conveys his sad emotions.)
(You can feel his sorrowful feelings from each note.)
(It's a graceful and clear voice.)
(He has a high-pitched voice.)
(As he can't let go of his love when he knows he should,)
(his desperation deepens.)
(He shows the loneliness that a man feels...)
(when he has to serenely accept the fact he lost his love.)
(Who are you, Dart Man?)
Now, Dart Man, please take off your mask...
and reveal your identity.
(I can't believe this!)
They're so happy.
Who is it? Why are they screaming so hard?
- Who is he? - He is...
- Is he someone famous? - He is...
He is...
N, a member of the popular idol group VIXX.
You were right.
- He's an idol singer. - How can he be an idol singer?
He's an idol singer.
- See? I was right! - Yes.
(Laughing)
I knew he is an idol singer.
(What should I do?)
(N's sweet voice fills up the stage.)
(I love his voice.)
(My goodness.)
(His beautiful voice full of sorrow...)
(permeates through your heart.)
(He's a great singer.)
(His delicate control of dynamics makes the song more emotional.)
(The sad and painful lingering affection after a breakup)
(N is a talented singer.)
(You are)
(Still)
(In the same place)
("Sadness", a sad love song that sounded great with N's soft voice)
(Everyone is fascinated by N's voice.)
That was amazing.
He's great.
Please say hello to the viewers.
Hello. I'm N, the leader of VIXX. It's good to see you.
(N is the leader of VIXX, a group of six idol singers.)
(Because of their unique concept and powerful performance,)
(people call VIXX a group of fantasy or a group of horror.)
(N appears on many variety shows...)
(with his cute character as a simpleton.)
(He is also a charming actor on TV dramas.)
(He is sweet at times, and sexy at others.)
(N of VIXX, the vocalist who shines like a black pearl)
VIXX is known for...
its shocking and strong performance.
Most people think that...
you're a good dancer rather than a singer.
I think you broke that bias with your stage today.
Yes. I was actually going to debut as a member of a ballad group.
- Before VIXX debuted? - Yes.
I passed the audition...
with my singing. They didn't know I could dance.
Since when they realized I was a good dancer,
I've been the main dancer of the group.
I guess you didn't have many chances to sing...
in front of the audience.
You must've been disappointed.
Yes. I was really disappointed.
Also, some of my family study music.
My older brother wanted to become a singer.
He even released a long-playing record album.
Also, my older sister is a pianist.
Her intonation is so accurate.
They had such high standards toward me when I told them...
- I wanted to become a singer. - They had expectations.
Yes. I thought it'd be great if they'll appreciate...
my singing ability after watching today's performance.
It was important to you that your family appreciates your ability.
I really wanted my ability to be recognized.
- By your sister or brother. - Yes.
You're from a family of musicians.
- He told me at the beginning... - You mean Byung Chan.
that he thought Dart Man was N of VIXX.
- At the beginning? - Yes.
(As he watched N dance)
Do you know who he is?
Could he be N? He wouldn't be N, right?
N? The one from VIXX?
Yes.
The idol singers...
who are good at ballet are Ji Min of BTS...
and N.
- I've actually met N quite often. - I see.
- I observed his neck today. - His neck?
Yes. I saw his neck.
Does his neck have any features?
It's a bit... His skin isn't that white.
(He's trying to say it politely.)
- You mean his skin is dark. - Right.
- He has tanned skin. - That's true.
- Yes. I noticed that. - It's his natural skin tone.
- But... - You should have spoken up.
I said it was N, but Bong Sun ignored it.
You should've supported his opinion.
(She's flustered.)
Byung Chan. If you were sure, you should've insisted on your opinion.
- Everyone said he's not an idol... - Right.
- so I was very confused. - I see.
You can insist on your opinion stronger from next time.
Okay.
Let me tell you this.
There are many idol stars who are good at singing.
However, N sings a song...
- in an extraordinary way. - Thank you.
His singing style is totally different...
from other idol stars.
Like Josh Groban,
he has such an elegant voice...
which reminds me of both opera and pop music.
If you keep working on your voice color and singing method,
I think you will be able to become a vocalist...
- who has your own color. - Right.
- Thank you. - Okay.
- It was a great time to show... - Yes.
other people the true value of your voice.
He forgot about his role...
as a main dancer and a sub-vocalist only for today.
N from VIXX rather showed us his charming voice...
as a singer today.
- Please give him a big hand. - Thank you.
Go, N.
(You were awesome today.)
Thank you.
(You were awesome today.)
I was so cheered by others today.
It will always remain in my memory.
(It's N and his older sister.)
(He was a talented boy who likes to dance and sing.)
(He was trained intensely as a trainee for four years...)
(and finally became a singer, the leader of VIXX.)
Dear my brother and sister,
you saw how I nailed it? Compliment me.
(He's embarrassed.)
As a result of Round One,
Let's Go around Cube defeated N from VIXX...
and moves on to Round Two.
It's the second match of Round One.
Her voice is so flexible that she can even stretch her vocal cords.
It's What Happened to the Ballerina.
(She comes up on the stage softly.)
Please stay tuned...
for my elegant performance like ballet.
(She's elegant.)
(Don't go there yet.)
(She's full of enthusiasm from the beginning.)
(She appears like an elegant swan.)
She's wearing a real ballet dress.
- Don't run. - Please calm down and stop running.
(She's cute.)
Her competitor is...
born with elegance,
not to mention her beautiful voice.
It's Undescribable Marie Antoinette.
(The queen who will rule King of Mask Singer walks in.)
Your song is undescribable...
but my song is describable.
(Her sophistication catches everyone's eyes.)
(She flips her fan open.)
(Do you like her?)
She's a strong competitor.
(The queen's dignity instantly catches people's eyes.)
I can feel her dignity.
- I can't wait to see her perform. - Me too.
(It's an elegant competition between two ladies.)
(However, only one voice will touch panelists' hearts.)
(In order to become a true master of the stage,)
(what kind of performance will they give us?)
("Happy Birthday to You" by Kwon Jin Won)
(It's so refreshing.)
(Her fresh voice spreads out like a spring breeze.)
It's great.
(Her voice is beautiful like a blooming flower.)
(I'm in love.)
(Against Ballerina, she attracts people with her elegant voice.)
(She's amazing.)
(Everyone is surprised by her fascinating voice.)
(She suddenly puts her arm back.)
(What is that?)
(I bought a red rose)
(They make a beautiful harmony together.)
(It's fascinating.)
(They make a perfect harmony singing a love song.)
(Everyone feels refreshing with her crystal clear voice.)
(I'm happy in this world)
(Their performance melts people's hearts like a ray of sunshine.)
(Their birthday song is filled with endless happiness.)
(They're so beautiful.)
(They sound joyful as if they are the birthday girls.)
(She sings as if she doesn't care but her voice sounds so enchanting.)
(Her heart flutters.)
(Breaking the long winter silence, her voice brings the spring breeze.)
(They walk even more excitingly thinking about their love.)
(It's amazing.)
(Everyone is touched by their natural harmony.)
(She sings tunes cheerfully as if she's dancing to the rhythm.)
(Who is she?)
(Her sweet high note echoes in the air.)
(It's unbelievable.)
(They add sweetness to "Happy Birthday to You".)
Thank you.
(They are so sweet.)
Thank you. You're welcome.
- They're great. - I feel like it's my birthday.
It's amazing.
The second match of Round One is over.
Please say hi to our viewers. You go first, Ballerina.
Hi, I'm What Happened...
to the Ballerina.
Thank you. You're wearing a beautiful...
- white ballet dress today. - She has beautiful lines.
Can you please tell us...
what happened to the ballerina?
I can't tell you.
(She cries.)
You can't tell us.
Say hi to our viewers, Undescribable Marie Antoinette.
Hi,
I'm Undescribable Marie Antoinette.
She's wearing such an elegant dress.
Young Seok, what do you think about them?
I'm so in love...
with Ballerina's voice color.
It's very refreshing...
and it feels like I'm watching...
- the shiny surface of the sea. - Right.
When you're standing on sand at the beach,
your feet sink a little bit into the sand softly.
Her singing method at the climax...
made me think that she's a musical actress.
As for Undescribable Marie Antoinette,
her fundamental rhythmical sense is just amazing.
Only the singer...
who can play with the rhythm...
can make this song sound classy.
She knew how to play with the rhythm.
Dong Kyu, you seemed very satisfied.
He loves ladies.
(He laughs.)
This is my personal opinion.
Undescribable Marie Antoinette sounded like...
- a mezzo-soprano. - A mezzo-soprano?
(A mezzo-soprano sings in deep low voice in the high register.)
On the other hand, Ballerina sounded like a soprano.
(Soprano sings in the highest register with a splendid voice.)
- I felt in that way. - Okay.
I think Marie Antoinette is...
a musical actress.
The way she sings a contra-octave...
sounded just like musical actors.
It's musical actor's singing style. As for Ballerina,
when the note suddenly gets higher,
she sings perfectly in tune.
- Are you sure as an expert? - Yes. I'm pretty sure.
Jung Chi, how was it?
As for Ballerina, she was very skillful...
and professional...
so I thought she might be a singer who's over 30.
Hold it there.
(Excuse me.)
- Please don't do that. - Look at her.
- She's full of enthusiasm. - Right.
- She's so passionate. - Have I done something wrong?
- Why are you so upset? - Our technical director...
- Audio director... - I said Ballerina seems old.
- She does whatever she wants. - Okay.
- My goodness. - What were you going to say?
(I can speak now.)
She just wants to say that she's young, too.
- Can you guess my age? - I knew she would ask that.
I've never thought about your age.
Why haven't you?
It seems you are pretty old.
(She tries to look cute.)
(She suddenly acts cute.)
- What is she doing? - What's going on here?
We didn't ask you to show us such specialty.
We are not ready to accept it.
It's pretty hard to communicate...
- with her. - I can say that our show runs...
under a good system.
If the voting session was after this,
I bet Ballerina wins the match.
(She acts cute.)
(I can hardly believe my ears.)
(People wouldn't vote for her because she acted too cute.)
(It's so funny.)
She's lucky that the voting was over before she gets stereotyped.
We make a decision only with their voices.
I think I know who she is.
She has worked alone for the past few years.
Even without a manager,
she has negotiated for the payment...
and arranged her schedule herself.
She made a progress as a group,
but their songs were not that popular.
I think she is a member of Rainbow.
- Ballerina? - Yes.
(Is she a member of Rainbow, who is about to make a new start?)
They are working hard.
Isn't she a member of an idol group?
An idol singer wouldn't do such things.
- Okay. - Look at that.
Why does she keep saying that?
- She says she's an idol. - I'm not ready to hear that.
- She wants to look young. - Young people these days...
don't say that anymore.
- It's old. - So it makes her...
She's making a heart shape.
- That's good. - This is new.
She looks old making a heart shape.
And she's making it too big.
She did it like this.
- That's weird. - She just learned how to do it.
You should make it smaller.
I guess I've already had a bias from their performance.
While Ballerina looked cute, Marie Antoinette looked elegant.
So they looked like a mother and a daughter.
A mother and a daughter? Who is the mother?
Who do you think is the mother?
(Murmuring)
(Throwing down)
- Mother, please don't be upset. - I'm sorry, Mother.
That's just her opinion.
I figure she must be older than Jo Gap Gyeong.
What she's doing now makes her look even older.
I know. You seem to have a hard time figuring out their identities.
I was excited to hear Ballerina's song...
because her voice makes me feel happy.
She sounds like a host of a radio program...
that is broadcast between 12pm and 4pm.
Maybe she's a radio host.
Marie Antoinette sounds old...
but she has good muscles around her neck.
Neck muscles?
She has good muscles around the collarbone.
She looks fit and athletic.
That makes me think...
she's a musical actress. They try to keep themselves in good shape.
I guess she's a musical actress.
I see.
Now I will let you hear their real voices.
First, you will hear Ballerina's real voice.
She will imitate Pikachu. Can you really do that?
(Imitating Pikachu)
- She's cute. - That was Pikachu.
And Charmander?
(Imitating Charmander)
Can you imitate Squirtle?
- Squirtle. - Squirtle.
(What was that?)
What about Bulbasaur?
Bulbasaur.
Now she will imitate the voice from a navigation device.
Turn right after 400m.
That's it. Now she'll imitate Christina.
(She has an unique accent from Italian.)
Hello, I'm Christina.
That sounds very emotional.
She's old.
- Is she old? - Yes, she is.
It's Marie Antoinette's turn.
Ballerina just imitated Christina.
Oh, my gosh. I'm Christina.
(This is it.)
She is better than Ballerina.
Next she will imitate Sha Wujing. Show us.
Moth.
- It sounded like her real voice. - Show us again.
- I was surprised to hear that. - Moth.
- That's it. - Is she young?
I'm sure she's young.
But she sounds so brazen.
She will imitate the sounds of dogs.
She makes different sounds according to the situation.
She will imitate a hungry dog.
(Imitating a hungry dog)
(I'm hungry.)
(Why is a dog talking?)
Next is an angry dog.
(Imitating an angry dog)
(Give me food.)
(The dog speaks fluently.)
Can't you do that without talking?
You are just saying the words.
In fact, she looks very cute.
She's very attractive.
Chae Yeon.
- I think... - Yes?
she is a singer who is a little old.
I bet she's been an entertainer for a long time.
She looks natural and relaxed on the stage.
- Right. - I see.
Follow me to the bathroom later.
(What should I do?)
That's a very old one.
"Follow me to the bathroom?"
- People don't say that these days. - This is ridiculous.
Now, I will announce the result of the second match of Round One.
Whose voice touched your heart?
I'll now reveal the winner of this match.
Who is the winner?
(She has a neat and graceful voice.)
(Ballerina feasts people's ears with her luxurious voice.)
(She tickles people's ears with her lilting voice.)
(Marie Antoinette showed off her various skills.)
Bewteen Ballerina and Marie Antoinette,
who is the second winner who will move on to Round Two?
The winner is...
- The winner is... - The winner is...
This is too hard.
It's hard, but it's fun.
(They feel thrilled as they can't predict what the result will be.)
(It was a close match.)
The winner is...
(Who will move on to the next round?)
(Please show us the result!)
Who will move on to Round Two?
Please show us the winner.
Who is the winner? Show us.
The winner is...
Ballerina.
(She made a turn to Round Two.)
(Ballerina won the match gracefully.)
(They feel sorry for Marie Antoinette.)
Ballerina beat Marie Antoinette...
with a final score of 62 to 37.
With a final score of 62 to 37,
Ballerina won the match.
Please go back to your waiting room.
Please give her a round of applause.
We will see Ballerina in Round Two.
(Excited)
I'm very happy.
Now that I'm here,
I should become the King of Mask Singer.
She was undescribable the whole time.
But she gave us a bright smile and a lot of pleasure.
We'll reveal her face with a solo performance prepared for Round Two.
Please give her a round of applause.
(Is Marie Antoinette a TV personality who sings well?)
(Or is she a musical actress?)
(As some penalists said she looked old,)
(she got furious.)
(Is she really an old lady?)
(She even tried to act cute.)
(Is she really as old as Jo Gap Gyeong?)
("Late Regret" by Kang Sung Yeoun)
(Surprised)
(She chose a ballad song which is different from the duet song.)
(Amazed)
(She sounds even more mature singing a ballad song.)
(Marie Antoinette sings from the heart.)
(She has a dignified voice.)
(Her deep emotions captivate the audience.)
(This is so nice.)
(You stayed by my side when I grieved the loss of love.)
(I didn't know that love had come to me like this)
(Her emotions touch the hearts of the audience.)
Who on earth is she?
Who are you?
Marie Antoinette, please take off your mask...
and show us your face.
(Excited)
(Surprised)
They look thrilled.
They know her.
Who are you?
(Curious)
She is...
a singer slash actress, Kim Jae Kyung of Rainbow.
(Is Marie Antoinette Kim Jae Kyung?)
(They never knew it was her.)
(Everyone looks astonished.)
He said Ballerina was a member of Rainbow.
That was so close.
Can I change it now?
(He guessed it wrong.)
(As they didn't expect to see her, they feel even more excited.)
(Unbelievable!)
(8 years after debut, Rainbow practically disbanded.)
(This is Jae Kyung's first solo performance since then.)
(She can sing very well.)
(Jae Kyung has rich emotions and singing skills.)
(My goodness.)
(More serious than ever,)
(she sings with sincerity.)
It was beautiful.
(Teary-eyed)
(Jae Kyung's lovely sentimentality filled the performance.)
Jae Kyung.
(It's good to see you.)
It was nice.
She is very pretty.
She is like a princess.
Who said she is a member of Rainbow?
Someone said Ballerina is a member of Rainbow.
My goodness.
Jae Kyung can sing very well.
Please say hello to the viewers.
Hello, everyone. I am Kim Jae Kyung.
(She debuted as a member of Rainbow, a 7-member girl group in 2009.)
(They released songs such as "Gossip Girl", "A", and "Mach".)
(They showed sexy charisma on a different level.)
(She is a woman with charms that captivate men's hearts.)
(She is cute and easy-going behind the stage.)
(She makes people smile.)
(She debuted as an actress in 2016.)
(She showed refreshing charms in a drama as well.)
(Neither men nor women can resist her charms.)
(Kim Jae Kyung is a talented woman with charms like a rainbow.)
You were surprised earlier, right?
Gu Ra suddenly said...
Ballerina...
is a member of Rainbow.
He sounded confident.
Didn't I simply point with my finger?
No, you didn't.
You said Ballerina...
is a member of Rainbow.
Even though he was wrong,
I am thankful he brought up Rainbow.
Marie Antoinette was Kim Jae Kyung.
After going on a break in November of last week,
members of Rainbow...
are having their own schedules.
This is your first performance since then, right?
That's right. I haven't been on an official stage.
You became teary-eyed...
as you gave a solo performance.
Yes. It's because...
Rainbow is taking a break.
Our fans want to see us sing.
That's what they like.
However, we won't be able to give a lot of performances.
Knowing that broke my heart.
Giving a performance after a long break...
made me very happy.
When you decided to visit the show,
you said you want to regain...
your musical confidence.
Even though Rainbow received a lot of love,
we didn't do well in terms of digital music sales.
We never placed first on music shows.
I slowly began to lose...
my musical confidence.
I became very timid.
I thought cheers from the audience...
would let me get over the trauma.
That was the thought I had.
(It was a nice performance.)
You showed off your voice behind the mask.
The world-class baritone, Kim Dong Kyu said...
that you sound like a musical singer.
This is what I wrote.
She transcends genres.
She has a voice and a singing style...
that can cover various genres.
Her voice doesn't waver when she hits high notes.
Even when she reaches the age...
when most singers retire,
- her voice might remain the same. - I see.
- Thank you. - You found out more about yourself.
Today, she broke free from the image of a pretty idol singer.
We saw a side of Kim Jae Kyung...
that dreams of soaring into the sky. Please give her a big hand.
Good luck.
(We will cheer for your success as a singer and an actress.)
(She exits the stage with graceful steps.)
(She still feels emotional.)
I was very nervous.
I was very happy. Thank you.
(Shy)
I will be someone who can deliver...
the energy of happiness.
Please give me your support.
I am not the lead vocalist of Rainbow.
That means there are members who can sing better than me.
Members, I hope you will visit the show...
and spread the message...
that Rainbow can sing very well.
I was on King of Mask Singer!
(Jae Kyung was here.)
What Happened to the Ballerina...
beat Kim Jae Kyung 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 begin the third match...
of Round One.
This is the third match of Round One.
He is a sentimental masked singer who sings with his entire body.
Soulful Young Flautist.
(Here comes Young Flautist.)
(Playing)
Follow me.
(He can make a clear and beautiful sound.)
(He is cute.)
(Young Flautist acts cute from the start.)
He is my type.
Opposing him...
is a man who commands the stage with his voice.
Accordion Man Doesn't Frown.
(I am excited.)
Please listen to my song and smile.
(He is cheerful, delightful, and refreshing.)
(He is manly.)
He has a big build.
He takes big strides.
They look like musicians.
(Young Flautist and Accordion Man draw people's attention.)
(From their names to fashion, they seem like musicians.)
He is wearing stockings like a Scottish man.
He isn't all, but sturdy.
He is dressed like a Swiss man.
He looks like he will yodel.
(Stocky)
(It's a match between men of musical instruments.)
(They want to hear the masked singers' voices.)
(The two men raised everyone's expectation.)
(What will their duet sound like?)
("Love... That Guy" by Bobby Kim)
(It's a hit song by Bobby Kim that was released in 2009.)
(His voice is pure and simple.)
(Amazed)
(He sings shyly and carefully.)
(His voice is straightforward without embellishments.)
(It's nice.)
(He is incredible.)
(He has a deep voice that speaks of experiences.)
(His soulful voice is like a deep sea.)
(I love you)
(His voice is young and delicate.)
(Who is he?)
(Young Flautist carefully delivers his honest feelings.)
(It feels like a warm embrace.)
(His voice is cozy.)
(Accordion Man sings with heavy resonance.)
(Voices of different colors met...)
(and became one in this amazing performance.)
(He has a charming baritone voice that resonates in the heart.)
(His charismatic voice penetrates people's ears.)
(He comes up with his own delicate voice.)
(With his calm and sincere voice,)
(he tries to deliver his love with all his heart.)
(I love you)
(I really love you)
(His performance is full of waves of emotions.)
(He pours out his love like a hot typhoon.)
(And...)
(he conveys his love with his purity like a young boy.)
(Love comes to me)
(Again)
("Love... That Guy" is a song of a man awaiting another love.)
(Bravo)
(They are great singers.)
(He smiles to listen to the beautiful duet.)
It was classical and classy.
Among the duet matches...
of Round One, the third match is over.
Please say hello to our viewers.
Hello.
I'm Soulful Young Flautist.
You look very talented...
with these clothes.
He just said hello to you.
Don't frown
- Use your microphone. - I'm Accordion Man.
- You should use this microphone. - You have to.
- Your voice should go through it. - You should speak to the mic.
- Seong Ju. - Yes.
- He is my friend. - Is he?
Yes. So please hold it for him. It's because he is nervous.
- He is my friend. - You know him.
- I want to take care of him. - But he didn't say hello yet.
Try to say hello again.
Don't frown
I'm Accordion Man.
He is Accordion Man.
(Good job)
- I'm going to protect him. - Are you?
He needs to survive until next week.
So if you are about to notice...
who he is,
I'll try to confuse you on purpose.
Since he is your friend, you want to protect him.
Young Seok, what did you think of their performance?
Accordion Man...
has a low range...
of full voice.
- Yes. - So I thought...
he was doing the low crawl.
It was as if he started with the low crawl...
to remove the mines, dodge the bullets,
penetrate into the enemy's territory and put his flag there.
He doesn't need to change his posture because his basic is good.
- He surely has his own color. - Yes.
I want him to stick to it.
I think Accordion Man...
is not used to a hand-held mic.
I bet...
he is used to...
- using a headset mic. - I see.
So when he got nervous...
while introducing himself,
he lifted both hands and put away the mic.
- I guess he may be a musical actor. - Okay.
What about Young Flautist?
When I saw him singing,
he looked like a green tree...
that was standing alone high on a mountain.
- I see. - Regardless of the circumstances,
he seemed to be...
standing alone with the green leaves.
He complimented you.
- I think he said I didn't do well. - No, he didn't.
He said you're the only green tree. That's a compliment.
- Doesn't it mean I'm lonely? - No. He means you stand out.
- Stand out? - Yes. You misunderstood him.
- I'm sorry. - It was a praise.
I think he is a little twisted.
At first, I liked his singing.
I liked to see him energetic.
But when he took the mic for the second time,
he seemed to have given up everything.
We didn't cast the votes yet...
but he looked like he gave up already.
- So I felt bad for him. - You thought he gave up.
- I don't think so. - Then what?
I believe he was already frustrated in their practice room.
(When they were practicing together before the show)
(He is an awesome singer.)
(I'm doomed.)
He must have been discouraged and angry a lot.
- "Why should I compete with him?" - "This is wrong."
After all of that, he regained his composure by then.
So I think he sang with a peaceful mind.
He probably felt lonely like the only tree...
- on a barren mountain. - He is mean.
That tree will be rooted out soon.
I think you should explain what you really felt.
I don't need to explain...
- because all he said is true. - Okay.
When my part is finished...
and his part started,
(He sighs.)
I thought, "I'm doomed."
- "I'm so unlucky to meet him." - Yes.
- "Why did it happen to me?" - I'm unlucky...
and I'm not a good singer.
- Young Flautist, - Yes.
Did you even think of doing harm to him...
because you got too upset and angry?
- Yes. A little bit. - You did.
- Did you want to do him harm? - Yes.
Humans can think so.
I wanted to punch him in the chest and run away.
But because he has a big build, I gave it up.
He is my friend.
But he played a vicious guy...
- in a drama. - Who do you mean?
Is he an actor?
He played a cold-blooded bad guy.
- Gosh. - I think I know him.
You are not supposed to guess who he is.
(He is funny.)
You don't need to guess.
- You're here to be assessed. - Do you see him?
(Did he really figure out who I am?)
- Isn't he... - Just tell me who it is quietly.
(He whispers.)
(Am I right?)
(Accordion Man is nervous.)
You should be the panelist.
(He is hilarious.)
- Kim Dong Kyu. - Yes.
The low voice of Accordion Man was as good as...
that of a professional vocalist. What did you think?
His voice itself was very good.
- Accordion Man... - I think he likes vocal music.
May I request you a song?
Since it is spring, can you sing "Spring Girl"?
(Dong Kyu suddenly requests a song.)
- Okay. - If you know that song.
If he sings well, why don't you...
reply with your singing?
- Could you do that? - I could. Try it.
Okay. Try to sing, Accordion Man.
("Spring Girl")
(Spring girl is coming from there)
(He is so good.)
(She's wearing new grass clothes)
(Good job.)
He did a great job. Let's give him a big hand.
Dong Kyu, please sing a little.
(He starts right away as if he were waiting.)
(Spring girl is coming from there)
Vocal music doesn't necessarily mean...
- to show off your voice. - I see.
(It became Dong Kyu's vocal lesson.)
(I want to learn how to do that too.)
(He is immersed.)
How much is this lesson?
- He... - For example...
(Dong Kyu doesn't care and keeps singing.)
(I will just teach Accordion Man.)
- This is how you do it. - When will you talk about me?
Let Young Flautist do that too.
- No way. - Young Flautist.
- We should see how he is doing. - Shall I go back...
- to the waiting room and pretend... - No.
- not to have been here? - We'll give you time too.
- We'll give you time later. - Sure.
So please wait for a second.
Isn't he quite good as a professional vocalist?
He can be one as is now.
If I help you make just slight changes,
he can make quite a lot of money too.
I noticed that the crew is...
worried about what Dong Kyu says.
- He might get humiliated next week. - Okay.
- How much should I change? - Today...
I realized something.
- It would not be easy... - He doesn't listen to me.
for someone like me to fight...
as a fighter in UFC.
- I would need great courage. - Sure.
I think Young Flautist is in that situation.
(Me?)
- I praise his great courage. - All right.
- Should we applaud him... - I praise him.
for being here?
You made a new challenge, didn't you?
You have never done this, have you?
What if I am a professional singer?
You may not know very well, Dong Kyu,
because it's your first time there.
Some singers want to disguise themselves...
and change their styles.
It may not be changing...
- but having no materials. - Having no materials?
Can I take the mask off right now?
No, you should tolerate it.
Did I do so terribly?
- There are many people... - Hey.
- who are worse than me. - It's not like that.
- We just have our own opinions. - I see.
- Don't be disturbed. Stay calm. - We're not saying you did terribly.
Are you married, Young Flautist?
- Why? Do you like me? - She wants to marry you.
She wants to marry you.
It just came to my mind.
If there's a guy as witty and funny as him,
I would marry him. I don't care whether he sings well or not.
Singing well isn't a quality I look for in men.
- He's so charming. - Is he funnier than Gu Ra?
(She laughs.)
- Why can't you give an answer? - What's that?
Until when will you use me to your advantage?
I haven't done anything.
All right. I'm going to give you a few hints now.
He's got a very flexible body.
He will show you how flexible his body is.
Please go up the box.
(They prepared a tool to test his flexibility.)
Young Flautist has a very flexible body.
His arms are going down. They're going further down.
It's 10cm below his feet. It's 15.
It's 16 now. It's 16. 16.
It's 17. That's it.
(His arms dropped 17cm below his feet.)
Accordion Man, do you want to give it a try too?
- I'll do some stretching first. - All right.
He will warm up first. I will hold the mic.
He's going down. Goodness.
All right.
My friend is unbelievable.
If he's Gu Ra's friend,
- he must be in his mid-40s, - My friend is amazing.
and he's still very flexible.
- He's going up the box. - His very fit.
Young Flautist's arms dropped to 17cm below his feet.
Both of your hands should come down.
This hand should come down more. It's 15.
(Accordion Man takes the mic.)
- Why? - He bent his knees.
Did he bend his knees? DId he do that?
- He's right. - Did he do that?
(I can do it again.)
All right. He's going to try it again. Here we go.
- Straighten your knees. - Wear the gloves well.
- Fix the gloves. - Hey!
I'm sorry. Straighten your knees.
- Look at those gloves. - Why are his fingers so flabby?
Why do your fingers move so lightly?
- Are you a squid? - Goodness.
- What is he doing? - Fix your gloves. Come on.
Straighten your knees.
Let's see how flexible he is. Here we go.
Come on. Come on.
Straighten your knees.
So that's how flexible he really is.
Yes. His hands are 3cm below his feet.
His record is 3cm.
It turns out Accordion Man is...
more flexible than him.
He neither justified anything nor get any benefits from it.
Now, I will announce the result...
of the third match of Round One.
All right.
The result will shock you.
Has the record been broken?
In the history of King of Mask Singer,
the time we had the most dramatic score was...
when Lim Jeong Hee and Jo Hye Ryun competed.
Jeong Hee got 95 votes while Hye Ryun got 4 votes.
The score was 95 to 4.
Did they break the record?
At this point, whether or not we have a new record is...
more important than who won.
(They crack up.)
Who won between Young Flautist and Accordion Man?
I'll now reveal the winner of this match.
(He's got the most innocent emotions.)
(Young Flautist's voice stimulates a maternal instinct.)
(Accordion Man's charming low voice echoes deep.)
(His voice feels like a warm hug.)
It's Accordion Man versus Young Flautist,
Young Flautist versus Accordion Man.
We are more interested in their vote difference.
Who is the winner of this match?
The winner is...
What is the score?
Win, Young Flautist!
(She bursts into laughter.)
(It feels like we already know who won.)
(However,)
(we can't be sure about anything until it's over.)
What is the result?
The winner is...
Accordion Man.
(As everyone expected, Accordion Man won.)
(He will dominate Round Two with his charming voice.)
- That's not important. - What is the score?
(They laugh out loudly.)
(They are surprised.)
That's not important.
Please show the result.
(The record is not broken.)
The score is 90 to 9.
- The record is not broken. - By the way,
the panelists are so brutal.
- Yes. - What did he do so wrong?
- You could've given him a few more. - He got 9 votes.
- Yes. - He was talented enough.
- Yes. - I should've won.
Being a runner-up is no fun.
Please stay here for a while.
Accordion Man, please go back to your waiting room.
Please congratulate him with loud cheers.
Accordion Man won the third match of Round One,
and he move onto Round Two.
Accordion Man will put...
smile on your face again on Round Two.
Who would it be?
He already prepared a song for the next round.
Go, Young Flautist!
We will reveal Young Flautist's identity...
with a solo performance prepared for Round Two.
Please give it up for Young Flautist.
(His identity will be revealed during his solo performance.)
(Like a tree on a highland,)
(he had a strong will.)
(People praised him for taking the challenge.)
(He was very honest.)
(He interrupted everyone.)
(He's absolutely an entertainer.)
(Who is this witty and funny man?)
("A Farewell to Arms" by Park Sang Min)
(It gets exciting from the start.)
(He's good.)
He sings well.
(He was very nervous when he was singing a duet,)
(but he's full of confidence now.)
(The familiar rhythm makes us move our shoulders.)
(Just watching the performance cheers us up.)
(With his strong voice that leads the music,)
(he perfectly hits the high notes.)
(His voice sounds familiar and comfortable.)
(He grabs the audience's attention with his fancy stage manner.)
(The bright energy he exudes...)
(heats up the mood even more.)
(Excited)
(He sings every bar with care.)
(He's good.)
Now, Young Flautist, please take off your mask...
and reveal your identity.
(They scream.)
(They're amazed.)
People are going wild.
Girls love him.
Who is it?
He is...
the comedian with 21 years of experience, Park Sung Kwang.
(Park Sung Kwang is on King of Mask Singer.)
(Oh, my gosh.)
(It was the talented man Sung Kwan's surprise performance.)
Go, Sung Kwang!
(He's very serious.)
(Just looking at his face makes us laugh.)
(I'm the lead of this performance.)
(His performance is full of excitement and energy.)
(People go wild for him.)
(Sung Kwang dominates the stage.)
(He's filled with passion.)
(It's wild.)
(Join me, everybody!)
(You are the best.)
(That was one exciting performance.)
(Did you have fun?)
(Everyone became one during Sung Kwang's performance.)
(Bravo, Sung Kwang!)
Go, Sung Kwang!
(The excitement continues.)
I'm sorry.
Gosh, I'm so sorry.
(It was delightful.)
- Young Flautist revealed his face. - I'm sorry.
He is a very popular comedian.
It was Park Sung Kwang.
Please say hello to the viewers.
Hello. Young Flautist was me,
comedian Park Sung Kwang. It's good to see you.
(He debuted as a comedian in 2007.)
(With his unrivaled funny acting,)
(he has brought fun to the popular segments such as...)
("Park versus Park", "Ballerino", and "Genes".)
(He's working hard as a member of Brave Guys.)
(While trying different genres,)
(they topped music charts with "Say My Piece", "Again",)
(and "Wait and Be Ready".)
(A man who never stops trying something new)
(The most pleasant comedian, Park Sung Kwang)
Jung Min said you had the voice of someone she wants to marry.
She said that.
After I revealed my face,
her face darkened.
- Don't you think? - That's not true.
Anyway, your voice sounded very charming indeed.
I'm sorry to disappoint you. I was extremely nervous.
You do seem to be nervous.
What gave you confidence and made you decide to come to our show?
- I was watching this show on TV, - Okay.
and I saw Heo Kyung Hwan sing.
You saw Kyung Hwan.
I thought, "Wait a minute. If he can do it, why can't I?"
It turned out Kyung Hwan was really brave.
I see. Were you that nervous?
During the four minutes while...
I sang "A Farewell to Arms" and I was alone on stage.
- That's right. - I've been...
on stage for 11 years as a comedian,
but I've never been on stage by myself.
I wanted to enjoy the best stage of my life.
- That's what I wanted, - I see.
- but I'm sorry I didn't do so well. - Not at all.
(It was the best stage.)
You were worried about Bong Sun finding out who you are.
Yes. I though Bong Sun would recognize me right away.
I was worried.
I really had no idea.
You and I went to karaokes often.
Did we?
You bit my nose once when you were drunk.
(Embarrassed)
She got drunk and she bit my nose.
I had to go on TV shows with a red nose for a week.
(He was like the Rudolph.)
But Bong Sun didn't recognize your voice.
It was a big challenge for you to come to our show...
- and sing on stage today. - Yes.
It says here that your next challenge will be directing a film.
I suppose you haven't seen me on comedy shows these days.
I've been preparing to make a film for a year.
- Really? - We're shooting it right now.
I'm making an independent film.
- Are you the director? Oh, my. - Yes.
I hope you will give a lot of support...
- to independent films. - Okay.
(We support your new challenge.)
Today, he gave an amazing performance...
with his sincerity. He made those four minutes...
very meaningful.
Please give Sung Kwang a big round of applause...
- for his bright future. - Go, Sung Kwang!
(We will look forward to see your new challenges.)
I'm a big fan of yours!
What's going on?
What is it?
Did something happen?
When will the shooting start? It hasn't started yet, right?
When will it start?
(Thank you for a delightful stage.)
Accordion Man Doesn't Frown...
defeated Park Sung Kwang and moved on to Round Two.
The last match of Round One.
You can't resist her deadly cuteness.
Singing Puss In Boots.
(Singing Puss In Boots)
I will walk towards you lightly like a cat
All right. Here I come.
(I will sing prettily.)
(She's cute.)
(Surprised)
She's pretty.
She's sexy.
Her opponent has...
a lovely voice that turns the stage into pink.
Totally Pink Panda.
Hot pink is such a pretty color,
but my song will be even prettier.
(She's a cute woman.)
(She's adorable.)
- How cute. - She's a cutie.
(She also draws attention.)
(Cute Singing Puss and adorable Pink Panda)
The way Singing Puss stands looks very sexy.
I think she's going to be amazing.
Pink Panda covered up her entire body.
Maybe she's an idol singer.
(Those two singers came out from cartoons.)
(Swallow is ready to listen.)
(What kind of a song...)
(will they sing to lead us to the world of mystery and fantasy?)
("Unpredictable Life" by Lee Moon Sae)
(Surprised)
(Her beautiful voice spreads out clearly.)
(She has a pleasant and pretty voice.)
(Who is she?)
(Pink Panda seems like a cheerful and charming woman.)
Gosh, I like it.
(In her smooth breathing,)
(you can feel her enchanting groove.)
(Her voice shows her long years of experience.)
(Just like sweet chocolate,)
(her voice soothes the audience's minds.)
(When will I know what love is?)
(Their sweet voices embrace each other...)
(just like the warp and weft in harmony.)
(As they make an exciting stage,)
(things are heating up in the set.)
(That's great!)
(Dancing lightly)
(Her emotional singing reminds you of your old love.)
(She uses sophisticated vibrato which shows her elegant charms.)
(Pink Panda sounds pure and innocent...)
(just like a girl falling in love.)
(When will I know what love is?)
(When will I know how the world works?)
(Will I ever learn it after many days?)
(She uses fancy techniques with her emotional voice.)
(Amazed)
(It's a long life with many days to live,)
(and we wait to be happily in love.)
(Those two singers convey comfort and sympathy to us.)
(When will I know what love is?)
(To a brilliant and beautiful life!)
(It was the best.)
(They've given everyone hopes.)
It felt really good to hear it.
Good job.
- Singing Puss sounds very familiar. - Yes.
The last stage of Round One is now over.
Please say hello to the viewers.
(She tests the microphone, and starts laughing.)
(Laughing)
Hello.
I'm Singing Puss In Boots.
All right. She heard her disguised voice...
- and burst into laughter. - There are some people like her.
- Some people do that. - Now...
It's hot pink from head to toe
I'm Pink Panda.
All right. She's Pink Panda. She sounds very relaxed.
You look very happy, Young Seok.
Yes. Their performance was so fresh.
They sang "Unpredictable Life",
but I don't think they're not old enough to talk about life.
- Both of them? - Yes.
They both sounded young.
Pink Panda has...
a purer and more untainted voice.
Is Singing Puss' voice tainted then?
(Is Singing Puss' voice tainted then?)
She has great techniques, so she made her singing...
- sound much fancier. - That's what you mean.
She embellished it.
Pink Panda didn't do anything to make herself sound better,
and it was great.
It somehow felt as if her singing was slim.
- It was clean. - I listened to her voice,
and I think she's either an anchor or a voice actress.
As for Singing Puss,
I don't know how much you planned...
but I think you should be prepared for the future matches.
She has to take a look at the big picture, right?
(Will she be able to become King of Mask Singer?)
- Do you mean... - I think it's going to be...
a gender match...
for next week's Final Match.
She is a strong candidate.
Gu Ra said that Swallow...
should be careful of women.
I think she's the one.
He really has to be careful of Singing Puss.
Look at her eyes. They're so big.
(She wields a sword...)
(with those innocent eyes.)
I think...
she's a professional singer...
who sings with a young spirit.
As for Pink Panda, she sang with all her heart.
She danced really hard...
even though Singing Puss wasn't dancing.
- She seemed special to me. - Right.
Add to Seung Woo's explanation,
her dance is from a show called "1000 Song Challenge"...
- which is no longer on television. - "1000 Song Challenge"?
People used to dance like that at the back of the singer.
I'm sure she knows what I'm talking about.
(This dance at the back.)
(Is this dance really from "1000 Song Challenge"?)
- The dance is exactly the same. - This kind of dance.
(She's angry.)
What? She just made a hitting gesture towards me.
She was trying to be either friendly or aggressive.
I think I know who she is.
- Already? - It's obvious...
- she has a nice body. - She has a nice body?
Right. They made her legs look short on purpose...
in order to hide her characteristic.
It suddenly came up to my mind.
Watching her talking to Gu Ra and making that gesture,
I guess she has some connection with Gu Ra.
Isn't she Announcer Kim Sun Jae...
who's hosting "Men in Black Box" with you?
- She works in SBS. - Does she?
He's talking nonsense.
She has to quit SBS if she wants to come out here.
You know that it's MBC here.
I'm sorry.
(Laughing)
In case of Singing Puss,
- She's a diva. - A diva?
Divas tend to have a strong concentration.
They put all the energy into their songs...
when they sing on the stage.
However, when they lose concentration,
- they act pretty ridiculously. - I see.
For example, there are Park Hwayobi...
- and You Jeen... - Right.
- who sings "Romantic Cat". - That's right.
(They are serious when they sing.)
(However, they laugh ridiculously...)
(at panelist's face.)
(They laugh at a word.)
Divas laugh a lot.
Since she laughs at stupid things...
- I'm sure she's a diva. - You're sure she's a diva.
Hyun Chul, what do you think?
As for Singing Puss,
if you watch a film called "Comrades: Almost a Love Story",
Maggie Cheung says this to Leon Lai.
"I miss you every time..."
- "I open my eyes in the morning." - Okay.
I wish I could hear her voice...
every time I open my eyes in the morning.
Are you not satisfied with your wife's voice?
Are you not satisfied? You won't get breakfast from tomorrow.
I'm saying this for you.
I just wanted to say that I wish...
I could hear her voice from the morning.
I guess...
Pink Panda is a very famous person.
Her girlish voice was amazing,
but I think she might be famous with her beautiful face.
- She's someone widely known. - Right.
Great.
In order to help you with guessing,
they are going to dance for you.
This is what...
Singing Puss got. Music, please.
(It's "Like a Cat" by AOA.)
(She's excited.)
It's "Like a Cat" by AOA.
(She dances sexily.)
(She uplifts the atmosphere.)
My goodness. Her dance suits the mask.
She's an attractive cat.
(They're in love.)
(She gives off her irresistible charms.)
(She's also successful at attracting people today.)
This is it.
(See you next time.)
(She's full of charms.)
Her dance suits her mask perfectly.
She's so enchanting.
Now, it's time to see...
Pink Panda's dance.
Music, please.
(It's "I Will Show You" by Ailee.)
Just follow your feeling.
It's Ailee.
(Let's dance together.)
(She can't hide her sexiness with that costume.)
(She's cute.)
(Music suddenly changes.)
(It's "Bingo" by Turtles.)
It's Turtles.
(Let's travel back to 2004.)
She's full of excitement.
(It won't be fun if life is too easy)
Bingo.
It's not over. She's got some more.
(It's "Burden" by Baek Z Young.)
(She perfectly dances the old techno dance.)
When does it finish?
(She's a tireless dancing machine.)
She never gets tired.
(She jumps.)
My goodness. She just took off her gloves.
(It's a hot pink stage.)
(She suddenly feels embarrassing.)
This is it. She's such a cheerful lady.
She danced to the music...
- from late 1990s to early 2000s. - Right.
She dances like...
a choreographer.
I guess...
- that's Kim Song. - Kim Song.
(She's a representative dancer in the 90s.)
(Would Kim Song be Pink Panda?)
- She dances like a choreographer. - Okay.
- She must be a dance teacher. - Right.
I wonder...
why she took off...
her gloves.
It was a symbol of refusing...
dish-washing as a housewife.
(I'm sick of washing dishes.)
(It's time to stop doing it.)
- I didn't mean it that way. - Okay.
Followed by that,
I will let you hear Singing Puss's real voice.
First, she's going to imitate...
- Yangpa's voice with her song. - I thought she was Yangpa.
Let's go, Singing Puss.
(I'm awake in the middle of the night)
(I'm dreaming now)
This is it.
(She's good.)
- She's great. - She's just Yangpa.
Her body frame is similar to that of Yangpa.
She's like a wet Yangpa.
- A wet Yangpa? - Yes.
- A wet Yangpa. - Right.
- They have similar body frames. - It was moist.
- Her voice was moist. - Slightly more moist than Yangpa's.
It's on a slightly different note.
It's elderly's idol star, Hyun Sook.
(Women are not divided into good and bad ones)
This is it.
It's the queen of rhythm and blues.
She's going to imitate Lena Park's voice...
with BTS' "Blood Sweat and Tears".
Give it a go, Singing Puss.
(My blood, sweat, and tears)
(My last dance)
(Take it away)
(She sings hard.)
- This is it. - I like this.
It's very entertaining.
(It must become popular.)
She knows very well about Lena Park's voice.
Lastly, let's hear the opinion of the minority.
Well,
it's not very easy. As for Singing Puss,
her voice reminded me...
of young Hye Eun Yi's voice.
I think she's a female solo artist...
who sings as amazing as Hye Eun Yi.
- She's post Hye Eun Yi. - Their voices sound very similar.
Okay. Now,
I will reveal the result...
of the final match of Round One.
It's a competition between...
Singing Puss In Boots...
and Totally Pink Panda.
Let's find out...
who will move on to Round Two...
between these two female masked singers.
(The winner will be revealed now.)
(Her fascinating voice melts people's hearts.)
(She delivers her bright energy to people.)
(Singing Puss seems like a diva.)
(She has a clean and bright voice color...)
(and she sings purely like a girl.)
(Pink Panda fills the stage with her clear voice.)
Between Singing Puss...
and Pink Panda,
who will move...
on to Round Two?
The winner is...
- The winner is... - The winner is...
(Would it be Singing Puss who touches people's hearts...)
(or would it be Pink Panda who stirs up the protective instinct?)
(Who would be the one...)
(that moves on to Round Two?)
It's the last winner who moves on to Round Two.
The winner will move on to Round Two.
The winner is...
It's the last winner that moves on to Round Two.
The winner will compete...
with Accordion Man.
(It's breathtaking to find out...)
(the result.)
Who is the winner?
Please show us.
The winner is...
(Singing Puss In Boots wins the match.)
Singing Puss wins.
(Singing Puss' going to sing in Round Two.)
(They knew it.)
(They feel sorry for Pink Panda.)
My goodness.
She did so well.
Singing Puss beat Pink Panda...
and became the winner.
The score was 71 to 28.
She had a sweeping victory.
Please go back to your waiting room.
Please congratulate her.
(Pink Panda's identity will be revealed soon.)
(Singing Puss leaves stealthily like a cat.)
I am going to Round Two.
It looks like you have...
no idea who she might be.
Who would Pink Panda be?
We will reveal her identity with a solo performance.
- Please give her a warm welcome. - I know who she is.
(Her identity will be revealed during her solo performance.)
(She's someone who sings very carefully.)
(She's got untouched innocence.)
(Is she an anchor or a voice actress?)
(Is she Kim Sun Jae?)
(But she works for SBS.)
(Is she a famous celebrity?)
(We have no clue who you are. Who are you, Pink Panda?)
("Fixing My Makeup" by Wax)
(She's impressed.)
(She sings every note with the utmost innocence.)
Could she be Kang Susie?
(He loves it.)
(She's got a thin voice like a young girl.)
(And it's very clear.)
Her voice is so beautiful.
(Her beautiful voice makes our hearts flutter.)
(He's in love with her.)
(She sings quietly with sorrowful emotion.)
(Her voice is hard to identify.)
(Who are you, Pink Panda?)
Now, Pink Panda, please take off your mask...
and reveal your face.
(Screaming)
She is...
(No way!)
She is...
(Who are you?)
(They are very curious to know.)
Who is she? Do we know her?
Now, Pink Panda, please take off your mask...
and reveal your face.
She is...
a celebrity who debuted 23 years ago.
She's known as Cute Black Bean. She's Lee Bon.
(No way.)
(It was Lee Bon.)
She's Lee Bon.
(He's amazed.)
It's Lee Bon.
(They never expected it to be her.)
Her head is so small.
(She debuted with the drama "The Age of Passion" in 1993.)
(She was beloved for her feisty character.)
(She worked with the best actors at the time.)
(Dominating the commercial scene, she became the queen of commercial.)
(and for this reason, she hosted radio shows for 10 years.)
(She was also fun-loving and talented,)
(and for this reason, she hosted radio shows for 10 years.)
(She even presented many TV programs.)
(She was Korea's multi-talented entertainer.)
(Recently, she presented "Saturday, Saturday Is Singer"...)
(and made a fancy comeback.)
(Lee Bon came to King of Mask Singer.)
(She was the one with this beautiful voice.)
(She's been hiding her femininity.)
This is crazy. This is mad.
(She tightly closes her eyes, as if she's shy.)
(Her voice is really beautiful.)
(It's hard to believe that she was considered as a feisty woman.)
(Her pure voice is as lovely as a watercolor paint.)
(It's lovely.)
(The fan takes out the telescope.)
(Today, she is not the feisty woman...)
(but a shy young girl.)
(She shyly laughs.)
(Lee Bon's "Fixing My Makeup" made our hearts pure.)
(Her performance was pure joy.)
It's my first time seeing her in person.
I'm sure it is. I never imagined it would be her.
Someone should have guessed.
It turned out to be your beloeved Lee Bon.
(She took him back to the old days.)
Bon chose some of the panelists...
who might recognize her voice.
She chose Yu Young Seok. She said they've been to a karaoke together.
- I'm so happy to see you. - Right.
I am so happy to see her.
I chose Hyun Chul too. Shouldn't you recognize my voice?
- You chose Hyun Chul too. - Yes.
- He was in love with your opponent. - He was totally in love with...
- the cat. - He was in love with the cat.
- He didn't care about Pink Panda. - That's not it.
She was cherishing the song,
and she sang each note with utmost care.
That was very unlike Lee Bon.
I never imagined that she could be Lee Bon.
Even during the solo performance,
- you had a little girl's voice. - I know.
Does your voice always sound like that?
Don't I have a beautiful voice?
- Your voice is beautiful. - It's beautiful.
You performed as DJ for 10 years because you have a beautiful voice.
- Yes. - By the way, when she was...
on the covers of teen magazines,
- I was still in school. - Okay.
I can't believe that she's here, and I can't take my eyes off of her.
- She still looks the same. - Yes.
On our vocal chord, there is a very beautiful and clean part.
She's been keeping it...
completely unchanged.
I will add something too.
Bon is not the greatest singer,
but she's got a great sense of style.
I hope to see it every day.
I know. She's known to be the first feisty female celebrity.
- I am not feisty. - I know. You broke that image.
- And you revealed... - Gu Ra is the feisty one.
your feminine side which has been hidden until now.
It was a rather surprising moment for us.
Please give it up for her, everybody.
(We will root for you.)
I am so happy to see her.
She's still the same.
(She looks relieved.)
I'm so exhausted.
I am not feisty at all.
Do you know how feminine I am?
I am a princess.
For the first several years after I made my debut,
I was stressed that people were seeing me...
as someone who I am not.
I thought, when would I have another chance...
to act all cute?
It was an opportunity for me...
to try a lot of things.
I'm happy, and I'm proud of myself.
It will remain in my memory for a long time.
