Over the past two years,
mystery show, King of Mask Singer has shared with audiences...
the unbiased songs and stories of many masked singers.
How did the viewers enjoy the show?
I really enjoy watching King of Mask Singer.

Congratulations on the second anniversary of...

For 10, 20 years...
- Fighting! - Fighting!
Happy second anniversary!
Then, which artists do the viewers remember...
as giving the biggest plot twist?
Hardware Store Owner, Mr. Kim.
Hong Suk Chun.
Hong Suk Chun was the most memorable.
First, the person who was chosen as having the most surprising voice,
Hardware Store Owner, Mr. Kim, Hong Suk Chun.
(He broke the stereotype with his manly voice.)
(Take off)
He wore a wig, and I was very surprised.
It was a good choice to go on the show.
When I go on a show, the ratings always go up.
(It's thanks to me.)
Who did Suk Chun choose as the biggest surprise?
Honestly, I thought it was Baek Chung Kang.
Mysterious Stamp Bride, Baek Chung Kang.
(He surprised audiences with his delicate voice.)
I thought he was a girl because of his beautiful voice.
(The gender twist that shocked the panelists.)
I was very surprised to see a man behind the mask.
(Successful mission)
To what extent did you go to trick your seniors?
I wore women's heels,
and women's underwear.
Next, no one expected his appearance...
causing a panic amongst the panelists.
Was it the Lightening Man?
- Miljenko Matijevic. - Miljenko Matijevic.
The nationality twist, global star, Miljenko Matijevic.
(Steelheart's leader singing "She's Gone".)
When I first saw the episode,
I couldn't believe that the singer of "She's Gone" was on the show.
(No one could've guessed that this world star would be on the show.)
Oh, it's Miljenko Matijevic!
(Proof that he is, without a doubt, a powerful and refreshing vocalist.)
Wow! Thank you!
Considering all the amazing singers that were on the show last year,
I am honored. Thank you. I love you all.
Next, there was a person who surprised everyone with their voice.
The occupation twist,
- Shin Bong Sun. - When Shin Bong Sun came out.
(She came out as a masked singer instead of as a panelist.)
(She tricked everyone with her surprising singing talent.)
She was so charismatic and she didn't seem like a comedian.
(A surprise that completely changed her original image.)
I honestly had no idea.
(The refreshing feeling of tricking your own family.)
I suddenly feel so annoyed.
Aside from these people, the man who returned after 10 years,
the icon of catching up.
The icon of catching up, Choi Min Yong.
Choi Min Yong.
Mask Camp, Choi Min Yong.
(After a long hiatus, he returned through King of Mask Singer!)
I was so happy to see him after such a long time.
The moment I took of the mask...
the expressions and responses...
of the people sitting in the back...
surprised me more than them.
This is a program and stage that has an extraordinary meaning.
The second anniversary of the King of Mask Singer!
- Congratulations! - King of Mask Singer, fighting!
- Please stay with us. - King of Mask Singer, fighting!
(Happy second birthday to King of Mask Singer.)
Last week,
the diabolical talents who are threatening the King of Mask Singer!
Heart Stealer Lupin...
and Party King Dancing with Shoulders.
Yangcheon-gu Shepherd Boy...
and Spirited Lady on the Ninth Rank.
And, the monster vocal who had two consecutive wins...
with her delicate vibrations and soulful voice...
Singing Puss won!
My money!
The 51st and 52nd King of Mask Singer, Singing Puss.
According to the online mobile survey...
on the netizens' expectation for the upcoming King of Mask singer,
Spirited Lady on the Ninth Rank was ranked the first place...
followed by Singing Puss in Boots as the second place.
(I think she is prepared.)
(She is great enough to be called as King of Mask Singer.)
The four talented singers have begun to show their true selves.
It's an unpredictable music war among Singing Puss...
and the four talented singers who revealed their own colors.
It will begin now.
(King of Mask Singer)
It's the first match of Round Two, the Semi-finals.
He beat Comedian Moon Se Yoon and the King of Mask Singer is in here.
Heart Stealer Lupin.
(Lupin notices that he will take the golden mask.)
(Women's hearts are mine too.)
(We will give them all.)
Here comes Lupin.
He is relaxed.
He looks cool.
(His charming husky voice...)
(is full of sorrowful emotions.)
(He pours out...)
(his voice like a tough guy.)
(It's like a voice with thick growth rings.)
(In his rough voice...)
(I felt his clean singing style.)
(Is Lupin quite young?)
(He has charisma...)
(that captivates women's hearts.)
(Du Jun, Jun Hyung and Min Ah are sure of his identity.)
(He seems to have very thick soles in his shoes.)
(He did.)
(He gets upset and wants them to check it out.)
(Now, Lupin's stealing begins.)
(His target is women's hearts.)
(Will he be able to steal their hearts again?)
(Good luck, my friend.)
(Please steal my heart too.)
(What kind of a weapon did the Heart Stealer prepare?)
("Western Sky" by Lee Seung Chul)
It's "Western Sky".
(You need a powerful voice to sing this song.)
(What will Lupin's "Western Sky" be like?)
(He starts casually with his husky voice.)
(He bears sadness in there.)
(His voice sounds rough...)
(yet refreshing.)
(His emotions are as deep as the blue sky.)
(As if raindrops wet our clothes,)
(his charming voice wets people's hearts.)
(This is good.)
(Goodness)
(We can feel how desperately he is waiting in his song.)
(Raindrops look sad since they are like my tears.)
(She gets teary.)
(With the tears I'm shedding...)
(I'd like to wash you out.)
(Lupin is doing a great performance delivering his true heart.)
(She cries.)
(His manly rough voice bears loneliness.)
(He has unique color and power in his voice.)
(I always miss you)
(His desperate longing...)
(makes people have sad rain in their hearts.)
(She is amazed.)
(With his charismatic and powerful voice like a flame...)
(she captivates women's hearts.)
(He also wants to captivate men's hearts.)
(His song is breathtaking.)
(On a rainy day)
(I always miss you)
(I wish he misses me.)
(His sad voice touches people's hearts.)
(Even the sorrowful high notes are perfect.)
Gosh. He is good.
(However,)
(I love you)
(Lupin's "Western Sky" could change people's best music in their lives.)
(He stole my heart.)
He sang such a clear rock song with his clean voice.
Good job.
He is wonderful.
Up against him...
is the singer who beat Actress Shim Eun Jin with his refreshing voice...
that sheep also love.
It's Yangcheon-gu Shepherd Boy.
(King of Mask Singer is here.)
(You will believe me, won't you?)
(We will believe you.)
He is quite tough too.
I really look forward to his performance.
So do I.
He is mysterious.
He is so mysterious that I can't guess. Who is he?
(He has eye-popping and unique voice color.)
(He has absolute pitch that shoots out extremely high notes...)
(and a voice exploding beyond limit.)
(A man who will cause a great turmoil.)
(A man who can use such a unique head voice)
(He looks like a seasoned singer with a lot of potential.)
(He was good at beatboxing with Confident Sheep.)
(Who could it be?)
(He is getting ready for another performance.)
(What will it be like?)
(Everyone is paying attention to him.)
(While Heart Stealer Lupin...)
(and Queen of Mask Singer who is worried are watching,)
(what will Shepherd Boy show to survive?)
("Turn Up the Radio" by Sinawe)
Are you ready?
(He uses amazing belting from the start.)
(They are dazzled.)
(His powerful high notes penetrate into our ears.)
(The rock spirit is getting higher.)
(She is excited.)
(He makes everyone dance...)
(with his super energy...)
(shooting out of his small body.)
(Turn up the radio)
(Sing along together)
(His charisma explodes.)
(He freely crosses the chest voice and falsetto.)
(He is something.)
(His sharp voice penetrates people's hearts.)
(He looks relaxed to see his gestures.)
(Turn up the radio)
(His performance dominates the audience.)
(Turn up the radio)
(Shepherd's belting explodes.)
(She is having fun.)
(My goodness.)
(Hopping)
(I'm the best in this zone.)
(Dancing)
(Follow me.)
(Turn up...)
(the radio.)
(It's as heated up as a concert.)
(Sing along, everybody)
(Everyone sings along as if they are possessed.)
(His voice shoots up without a limit.)
(Like an unstoppable runaway engine,)
(his rock spirit fearlessly charges.)
(Ad-libbing)
(He sings ad-lib.)
(Run up the radio)
(How exciting!)
(His shouting is wild! It was Shepherd Boy's "Turn Up the Radio".)
(Bravo! That's it!)
That was mad.
(He hollers out of joy.)
That was mad.
His claws are very sharp.
That was amazing.
That felt good.
Who is he?
This is Round Two, Semi-finals.
The first match finished.
Young Seok, what did you think?
They prove that Round One...
- is just a prologue. - Yes.
Shepherd Boy is...
Can such a beast guard sheep?
- Will he just devour all of them? - Yes.
Yes. His song was like fire. It was very sharp.
(Run!)
However,
he's like a big cat that looks beautiful, like a jaguar.
It's much swifter than a lion.
It's ferocious,
and it's got a sharp voice.
He expressed rock dynamically.
I think he's been doing rock for many years.
However, there's no guarantee that he'll move on to Round Three.
Lupin's singing was very strong.
Lupin's voice is like...
(Louis Armstrong is a legendary jazz pioneer.)
a delicate mix of Louis Armstrong's voice and Michael Buble's...
- beautiful voice. - Yes.
(Michael Buble is famous for his warm voice.)
(He's the best jazz pop vocalist.)
He's got such an amazing voice.
(His voice has got the strengths of global musicians' voices.)
All right. Du Jun,
it looks like you've given up making guesses.
- I'm sure about... - Yes.
- who Lupin is. - Are you sure?
- He's my good friend. - Yes.
As his friend, I thought he did great.
- Are you sure he's your friend? - I am 120 percent sure.
Is there no chance that you might be wrong?
- I am certain that he's my friend. - Is that right?
- I'll comment on Shepherd Boy. - Shepherd Boy.
I really enjoyed his performance.
When I was hearing his music, I thought...
his voice was like a colorful cartoon.
That's what I thought.
It was very entertaining. I really enjoyed...
his performance. Thank you.
I guess you don't know who he is.
I am expecting it to be our first time to meet.
You will be seeing him for the first time when he takes off his mask.
Are you 120 percent sure?
- I am 20 percent sure. - I see.
One of them is certainly his friend,
and the other one is certainly a stranger.
Kai.
When I saw Lupin's performance,
I thought he was like Yim Jae Beum junior.
- That's what I thought. - Okay.
When Yim Jae Beum came out on "I Am a Singer",
he did his signature gesture of turning his neck to one side...
while holding a mic, which many people copied.
- It was a very impressive gesture. - Yes.
And Lupin did something similar.
I was really touched by his performance.
You thought he was Yim Jae Beum junior.
Kai said Lupin was like...
Yim Jae Beum junior.
I think Shepherd Boy reminds me...
of Kim Jong Seo's performances during his heydays.
That's how great it was.
(Jong Seo is famous for overwhelming the audience...)
(with his explosive energy...)
(and his charisma on stage.)
(With charisma as great as Jong Seo's,)
(Shepherd Boy put on a great performance.)
You had to be able to sing while enjoying the performance.
That was the qualification expected from a band lead vocalist.
While wearing those heavy shoes,
he sang perfectly, without running out of breath.
That means he has a superb lung capacity...
and many performance experiences.
I think he's a master.
You think Shepherd Boy is...
- Kim Jong Seo junior. - He's Kim Jong Seo junior.
On Round One, I was wondering...
why he was wearing those shoes.
When his touching music was...
combined with his feet movement,
the performance became visually enticing too.
(Stomping)
(My shoes are the best.)
It made him look like a giant of music scene...
who is 4 or 5m tall.
That's what I thought.
However,
I chose the rock ballad song which I am familiar with.
It's not easy to sing Lee Seung Chul's song nicely...
as if it was his own song.
The panelists are highly praising them both.
At this point, to help the viewers,
they will showcase their special talents again.
Lupin recently started learning Pilates.
- We acquired the information. - He saved it for this week.
That's right. He almost did it last week.
Will you introduce it to us?
- This posture corrects your pelvis. - Okay.
And it also relaxes...
the muscles on your sides.
First,
spread your legs about the width of your shoulders.
Let your left foot face the front,
and turn your right foot diagonally.
Then your pelvis will naturally go this way. Right?
- Right. - Right.
Then turn your pelvis to face the front.
But your feet will remain as they are.
All right. Now bend down your right knee.
It must be very tight.
- From here... - Yes.
touch your thigh sexily...
with your right hand and support your torso.
Now, put your other hand here.
Starting from here, lift it up while looking up the sky.
Open your chest and...
Now.
(Be careful.)
- It's... - From here,
your hand will go inside this arm.
Exhale.
(It relaxes the side muscles.)
(Lupin Pilates)
Exhale.
Will we do it repeatedly?
That's right. You have to do about...
- 10 reps. - About 10 reps.
When you do that, your twisted pelvis can be corrected.
That's what it is.
(Lupin Pilates is the best when correcting pelvis.)
- I think my posture's corrected. - Really?
- Yes. - Do the other side twice.
Okay.
(He laughs.)
Right. Since you got warmed up,
- let's see Shepherd Boy's talent. - Right.
He will do a sexy dance. Music, please.
It's a typical... Goodness.
(Give me)
His pelvis is moving freely.
He's very flexible.
He's turning around once.
He's quite cheesy.
Goodness.
(It's indecent.)
That's it. That's it.
Good job. It's okay. You did well.
You saw the sexy side of Shepherd Boy.
Lastly, let's hear from the minority.
(He moves his mouth.)
(What's wrong?)
- The mic isn't working. - The mic is off.
- Please turn his mic on. - You can't turn off the power.
How can you turn off his mic because he's a minority?
(He tries it again.)
(He talks.)
- They must've ejected it. - Goodness.
- Don't you think it's too harsh? - Isn't it too harsh?
- He's still a celebrity. - Director.
I never thought I'd be borrowing the mic from a viewer.
(He cracks up.)
I know. Isn't that too mean?
- Even though viewers rule... - The viewers rule...
- I wanted to comment on this match. - Okay.
This is what I wanted to say about Lupin.
It sounded like an engineer fixed the setting of his voice...
to fit rock music.
It's like all he had to do was to just sing.
He seems like a person with a preset voice.
Shepherd Boy's voice...
became big and small.
His voice became thick and thin.
The speed of his voice became fast and slow.
It was like he had...
an equalizer installed in his body.
Lupin sang a classical rock...
and Shepherd Boy sang a lively rock.
It was the best rock stage where we enjoyed two flavors of rock music.
- That's what I think. Thank you. - All right.
Now, I will announce the result of...
the first match of Round Two, Semi-finals.
Between Heart Stealer Lupin...
and Yangcheon-gu Shepherd Boy,
who will win this match and move on to Round Three?
The winner is...
- Who is it going to be? - I can't wait.
(Please let it be our friend, Lupin.)
Whoever wins, I'll be happy,
but whoever loses, I'll be sad.
(Is it Lupin who showed an emotional stage?)
(Or is it the rhythmical singer, Shepherd Boy?)
(Everyone nervously awaits for the result.)
- Who is it? - Let's find out.
(Who stole everyone's heart?)
Let's find out. Who won more votes?
Who gets to move on to Round Three?
Let's find out. The winner is...
Shepherd Boy. He won.
(Let's go to challenge the king!)
- Gosh, really? - Oh, my.
(He's the one who stole their hearts.)
(They're sorry Lupin lost.)
(They feel bad for their friend.)
(Disappointed)
(Thank you.)
Shepherd Boy defeated Lupin...
with a score of 54 to 45.
He won by nine votes...
and moved on to Final Round.
Congratulations. Please go back to your waiting room.
Please give him a big round of applause.
(The identity of Lupin will be revealed soon.)
(Stomping)
(It's hard to walk in those shoes.)
(Excited)
(Laughing)
I will prepare a fun performance for Round Three too. Let's go!
All right. We are now...
going to find out who Lupin is.
Please move to the back of the stage.
Heart Stealer Lupin, please take off your mask...
and reveal your face.
(He sings neatly with his rough voice.)
(He's a skilled singer.)
(You can hear both Louis Armstrong and Michael Buble's voice in his.)
(He's like Yim Jae Beum Junior.)
(Du Jun is 120 percent sure Lupin is his friend.)
Heart Stealer Lupin, please take off your mask...
and reveal your face.
(We're so lucky!)
(Please let us know who he is.)
They're happy to see him.
I'm sure they're going crazy now.
(His voice stole women's hearts.)
They must be so happy.
(Who is Lupin?)
Heart Stealer Lupin, please take off your mask...
and reveal your face.
He is Lee Hong Ki of FTISLAND.
(Hong Ki is back!)
(We knew it was him.)
It's Hong Ki.
Gosh, he's handsome.
I'm so sad he lost.
This was your second time being on our show.
Please say hello to the viewers.
It's been a while. I'm Lee Hong Ki, the vocalist of FTISLAND.
(Hong Ki was a cute little boy who made his debut in 2001.)
(He had a growth spurt and became a handsome heartthrob.)
(He entered the music industry in 2007 as a member of FTISLAND.)
(They made hits with songs including "Love Sick" and "Love Love Love".)
(They turned themselves into one of the most popular idol rock band.)
(Appearing on dramas such as "Modern Farmer" and "You're Beautiful",)
(he's making a new leap forward to become a scene stealer.)
(With his charming husky voice and great singing ability,)
(he also starred in musicals including "The Days"...)
(and "A Midsummer Night's Dream".)
(He's a fascinating vocalist who never stops trying new things.)
(Lee Hong Ki, the singer with a voice that steals women's hearts)
You were on our third episode as Whimsical Batman.
Yes. I wasn't sure if I could come here...
for the second time.
I wanted to sing the songs I don't usually sing.
I also came here to show people that I'm still alive.
- To show people you're alive? - Yes.
What do you mean?
I haven't been on TV shows for a long time.
I see. You wanted to show them you're alive.
You wanted to say, "Lee Hong Ki of FTISLAND is still alive."
- That's right. - Okay.
Jang Hyuk.
When he was here as Batman,
he sang one of my songs.
(He sang "Addicted to Love" by Cho Jang Hyuk as Batman.)
(With his charming husky voice,)
(he conveyed the sadness of the song...)
(and stole the hearts of the audience.)
I was really grateful to him because he sang my song again...
a few months after that in a concert abroad.
I should express my gratitude to him properly.
I watched our show where he sang my song.
I was really surprised by his singing style.
I listened to him singing my song several times.
I learned that pronouncing the lyrics clearly is very important.
Thanks to him, I was able to cure...
- a bad habit that I had. - I see.
Du Jun. Did you know who he was from Round One?
It was obvious to me.
What's the strength of Hong Ki that you're jealous of?
- I guess there isn't any. - Wait.
Isn't he good at teaching Pilates?
He makes great Pilates poses.
Yes. He teaches Pilates well.
- He's good at teaching others. - I see.
How long have you been doing Pilates?
I've only taken the lesson three times.
- Three times? - You're a natural.
You only had three lessons. You have a natural talent for it.
- Thank you. - All right.
He came to our show for the second time and showed greater performance.
It was Lee Hong Ki. Please give him a big round of applause.
- Thank you. - Go, Hong Ki!
Go, Hong Ki!
(Goodbye, my friend.)
You're great, Hong Ki!
I haven't been on TV shows for a long time,
so it feels a little unfamiliar.
(Someone sings loudly.)
(Shepherd Boy keeps on singing.)
He's in the next room.
Gosh. He's been singing since this morning.
I hope he becomes the King of Mask Singer since he's working so hard.
(I will root for you.)
Anyway, I hope he wins.
I'm disappointed that I didn't get to sing "Eternity".
(Let's hear him sing it now.)
(Whenever)
(The sky calls out for me)
This is how it goes.
I'm on a TV show in a long time.
It feels great to be here.
I will work hard to see you more often.
Thank you.
This is the result of Round Two.
Yangcheon-gu Shepherd Boy defeated Lee Hong Ki of FTISLAND...
and moved on to Round Three.
The second match of Round Two, Semi-finals.
He defeated Seo Kyung Seok with...
his enchanting song that relieves the boredom of our daily lives.
Party King...
Dancing with Shoulders!
(It's an exciting party time.)
(He makes them move their shoulders up and down.)
Everybody, let's party
He turns his toes out as he walk.
- He does. - Right?
I have no idea who he is.
I think he's from H.O.T, Sechs Kies, g.o.d, or NRG.
(He has a powerful voice with great volume.)
(His voice shows his long years of experience.)
(Party King showed the class of a veteran.)
(His stable techniques and vocalization...)
(show that he is a professional singer.)
(Hyun Chul thinks he is a senior singer.)

(There is no turning back in Round Two.)
(The strong tension makes people's lips dry.)
(What's the secret weapon that Party King prepared...)
(to defeat Spirited Lady on the Ninth Rank?)
("My Own Grief" by Kim Don Kyoo)
This melody sounds familiar.
Oh, it's Kim Don Kyoo's song.
"My Own Grief".
It's Don Kyoo's song.

This is such a great song.

(His seasoned and deep voice...)
(makes the performance even more sorrowful.)
("My Own Grief" by Party King contained sorrowful emotions.)
(Moved)
(His performance touched everyone.)
That was sorrowful.
He is a man who knows what love is.
Opposing him...
is a woman who beat Kong Min Zy.
She threw a music-themed party that brings back good cheer.
Spirited Lady on the Ninth Rank!
(Spirited Lady on the Ninth Rank)
(Her spirit will make anyone feel the good cheer.)
(Expectant)
My goodness, she is here.
- I am excited for her performance. - Good luck.
(She is a talented woman who beat Perilla Leaf Girl.)
(She is like a vending machine that dispenses high notes.)
(Her talent makes her the most likely candidate to win.)
(She is a fool who is only interested in music.)
(Spirited Lady married music.)
(She is most likely to become King of Mask Singer.)
(Everyone waits for her performance with bated breath.)

(and try her hand at being King of Mask Singer?)
("Atlantis Princess" by BoA)
(Her voice is otherworldly.)
What is this?
(A fairy descends on Atlantis...)
(and sings of bliss.)
I love it.
She has a blissful voice.

Spirited Lady!
I imagine she was born in the late 90s.
(Spirited Lady! Take me.)
It was a strong performance.
The second match of Round Two came to an end.
The winner of this match...
will move on to Final Round.
I am impressed...
by the improvement of singing skills.
Whose singing skills do you mean?
- Spirited Lady's. - Spirited Lady's.
Did her singing skills improve?
She made me wonder if she had a one-on-one lesson.
I can't hide my amazement.
The innocence that would belong to a girl who was hidden in Atlantis...
is the source of her music.
As for Party King,
his biggest charm...
lies in his nasal tone. It's very charming.
It allowed him to express keen and desperate emotions...
in an appealing manner.
It sounded very attractive.
To be honest, I know who he is.
You didn't know that last week, but now you know him?
I do.
Does his name start with H?
- No. - No.
Say that angrily instead.
- It'd feel less offensive. - No.
Anyway, I know who he is.
His voice has its own character.
His voice is quite sorrowful.
I voted for him.
The panelists in the back look very confused.
There's one thing I want to talk about Spirited Lady.
I've been here over more than 100 episodes.
And I feel like I'm eating a big dinner every week.
Now I'm not easily satisfied.
Only someone with great singing skills...
can impress me these days.
However, I believe...
she is better...
than any other singers who've been here.
- She's here to be the Queen. - When she shouted,
she even lost some of her hair rollers.
She sang really hard.
I think she's amazing.
I bet she's a demon at singing.
- A demon? - Yes, a demon at singing.
The King of Mask Singer would be...
feeling very afraid after listening to her sing.
That's my guess.
The old lady...
I mean, when Spirited Lady...
started singing at first,
I saw a bright glow descending from above.
It felt like as if...
her voice was unzipping the sky...
and a beam of light was coming down from above.
What kind of feeling was that?
It was like...
she was singing in a crystal.
So it felt very clear?
Her voice was very clear.
- It was clear and shiny. - Right.
She was singing in there.
It was shocking...
- and very impressive. - It's the highest compliment.
- Meanwhile, - Meanwhile?
Party King's voice...
has the sense of age...
which was rather very sticky.
It sounded like that.
He looks a bit tired standing here.
He'd feel tired by now.
He can barely stand now.
His voice is like whiskey...
aged in an oak cask for more than 30 years...
or cheese well-fermented for a long time.
His voice has those kinds of feelings.
Then I will let you hear...
Party King's real voice.
He will mimic market vendors' voices.
First, he will mimic...
a dog trader's voice.
A dog trader's voice. Show us.
Sell me a dog.
That's it.
He's a dog trader.
Don't do it again. He's about to recognize your voice.
You should be more careful.
They may recognize your voice, so please be careful.
Now, he will...
mimic a man...
who sells iced tea in a train station.
- A man who sells iced tea. - Iced tea? That's an old one.
It happened in the 1960s and 1970s.
Only old people would know what it is.
A man who sells iced tea in a train station. Show us.
Iced tea.
That's right.
Hey, kid.
Ask your mom to buy you an iced tea.
(Young people have no idea what he's doing.)
(Dumbfounded)
(He is about to pass out laughing.)
You'd have a stomachache if you eat ice cream instead of iced tea.
That's it.
- That's it. - I'm the only one who laughed.
I'm the only one who laughed.
Only old people can...
laugh at this joke.
Hyun Chul even dribbled laughing.
He doesn't even care who Party King is.
Now I will let you hear...
Spirited Lady's real voice.
She will sing the original sound track of "The Little Mermaid".
- "The Little Mermaid". - "The Little Mermaid".
The original sound track of "The Little Mermaid".
Hey, Party King looks very tired.
Just sit on the floor.
I know how hard it is. You can sit on the floor.
- It's okay. - He's wearing trendy pants though.
He's tired.
Please sing the original sound track of "The Little Mermaid".
(While the iced tea man takes a break,)
(she starts singing.)
(With her cute and sweet voice,)
(she sings perfectly as if she's underwater.)
(She's a master who sings regardless of time and place.)
That's it.
I have no idea who'd win.
(Her voice is as cool as iced tea.)
Next up, Spirited Lady will mimic...
Il Yong's mother in a drama.
First, she will mimic the original version of Il Yong's mother.
Look at this mess.
Is this a pigsty or what? Look at that.
Do you think I'd want to live in a place like this?
(She doesn't exactly sound like Il Yong's mother.)
She sounds like a little girl.
Now she'll mimic Ms. Anseong mimicking Il Yong's mother.
(Making a funny noise)
I'm Ms. Anseong.
Gosh, look at this mess.
(Making a funny noise)
That's it.
(She doesn't quite sound like Ms. Anseong though.)
Now, I will announce...
the result of the second match...
of Round Two. subtitles ripped and synced by riri13
I'll now reveal...
the winner of this match...
who will move on to Round Three.
(With his delicate and mournful voice,)
(Party King sang an ardent love.)
(With her sweet and angelic high-pitched voice,)
(Spirited Lady took everyone on a flight to Atlantis.)
Party King and Spirited Lady.
Who is the second winner...
who will move on to Round Three, Final Round?
The winner is...
(King of Mask Singer)
- The winner is... - The winner is...
The winner is...
(Who will be the last one standing...)
(in Round Two?)
I'm so curious.
(She's curious too.)
The winner is...
Show us the result.
Who is the winner?
(Spirited Lady on the Ninth Rank wins.)
Spirited Lady wins.
(Spirited Lady moves on to Round Three.)
(Excited)
(Let's have fun.)
We're looking forward to seeing you in Round Three.
Spirited Lady beats Party King.
(The final score is 39 to 60.)
With the final score of 39 to 60,
Spirited Lady wins Round Two.
Please go back to your waiting room. Please give her a big hand.
(The mysterious identity of Party King will be revealed soon.)
Finally!
I'll sing in Round Three.
(Laughing)
King of Mask Singer, I'll see you in Final Match.
(King of Mask Singer, I'll see you in Final Match.)
(Spirited Lady is a cheerful woman just like her name.)
It's time...
to figure out...
who Party King is.
The shocking identity of Party King...
is about to be revealed.
(He has consistent vibration and technique.)
(Is he a big senior singer?)
(The biggest appeal of his voice...)
(is inimitable desperation.)
(And his specialty reflected his years of experience.)
(Who is Party King?)
Now, Party King, please take off your mask...
and reveal...
(Shocked)
your face.
(Unbelievable)
- What? - Why are they so excited?
Who is he?
(Curious)
- Who is he? - Reveal your face.
He is...
a singer with 30 years of experience...
and his hit song, "100m Before I See Her",
Lee Sang Woo.
(All of them are surprised to see Sang Woo.)
(The panelists didn't expect to see him at all.)
It was Sang Woo.
(They're so surprised that they just stand there with the mouth gaping.)
(He is too sorry that he didn't notice it was him.)
- I'm the only one who knew. - It's Lee Sang Woo.
Hello. Nice to see you. I'm Singer Lee Sang Woo.
(He debuted by winning Golden Award in MBC Riverside Music Festival.)
(His song "100m before I meet her" is one of the best.)
(With his clear voice that makes people want to dance,)
(he beat the great stars of that time...)
(and placed first in MBC music chart for eight weeks.)
(With several other great singers, he created a ballad boom back then.)
(He kept appearing on dramas...)
(and has been always passionate trying to communicate with viewers.)
(Lee Sang Woo, the great vocalist with his own special color)
It doesn't make sense that Hyun Chul didn't know.
Neither did Jang Hyuk and Young Seok.
A couple of months ago when we were drinking soju,
I sang this song.
He doesn't know although he heard that.
He doesn't remember because he was drunk.
He is drunk often.
When you sang "100m before I meet her",
- you did Pinocchio dance. - Yes.
- You remember, right? - Yes.
(This is the dance.)
I noticed it was you because of the dance.
Could you sing that song for a bit?
- Could you? - Okay.
("100m before I meet her" was the great hit in 1991.)
(Lee Sang Woo was so young 27 years ago.)
(His heart is still young.)
(He also sang that song with popular actresses as a duet too.)
(I like it.)
I heard one of the reasons why you decided to perform...
on our show was your son.
- I have a young son. - I see.
He is still an elementary school student.
And he said that I can't appear on this show...
because I'm a singer from the past.
So he said you can't sing on King of Mask Singer though you're a singer.
I said, "What are you talking about? I didn't go though they wanted me."
And he said, "Then go."
I see. Your young child said that.
So I came here because of my son.
- You wanted to show him yourself. - Yes.
But I got tired.
Okay. Now...
You really look tired.
Your young son will be probably watching this show.
Please say something as a dad he can be proud of.
- Do Hoon. - Do Hoon.
I wanted to survive longer, but I couldn't...
go beyond Round Two because I'm...
- so tired. - It's because he's tired.
It's not because I was not good,
- but because I was tired. - Right. He is tired.
Now, study hard.
(That's what every dad wants.)
That is what all dads want from their children.
He showed the power of a senior singer with his touching voice.
Please give Sang Woo a round of applause again.
Thank you.
(Please let us hear your wonderful voice.)
(He comes down with light steps.)
(Hyun Chul was waiting for him during the break.)
- You didn't really know? - I had no idea.
- It's nonsense. - I can't believe it.
(He is at a loss.)
After I decided to sing King of Mask Singer,
I felt a lot of pressure in fact.
I think I practiced more than I did for the Riverside Music Festival.
I haven't felt this nervous...
in a long time and I liked it a lot.
With this chance as a momentum, I'll try to refine my voice,
work out more,
and practice singing more.
Spirited Lady on the Ninth Rank beat Lee Sang Woo...
and moved on to Round Two.
The mysterious music show, King of Mask Singer.
There is only one last round left...
until the 53rd King of Mask Singer is decided.
To challenge Singing Puss,
they came to the Final Round.
The two masked singers will be back on stage.
Please give them a big hand.
(The fierce war begins.)
It's a competition between a male and a female vocalist.
Shepherd Boy...
versus Spirited Lady.
The two tough contestants...
moved on to Round Three, the Final Round.
Let's hear how they feel now.
You first, Shepherd Boy.
I didn't expect at all. I can't believe it.
But now that I came this far, I get ambitious.
- Do you get ambitious? - Yes.
Do you want to go farther?
Yes. Actually, I didn't put on makeup.
It shows my resolution not to take the mask off.
So you had your retreat cut off.
You didn't even put on makeup.
Because you won't take it off anyway, right?
Exactly.
Shepherd Boy is straightforward about his ambition to be the King.
What about you, Spirited Lady. How do you feel now?
I didn't expect this either just like him,
but if this is where I am, I'll be glad to challenge.
Okay. Good.
(They won't back off at all.)
If you want to say something to Queen of Mask Singer,
I'll give you a chance now.
At the moment, King of Mask Singer is Singing Puss in Boots, right?
Yes.
I know you are a good singer,
but I will sing in boots from now.
(She is shaking.)
It is true that your boots are...
more dominating.
Shepherd Boy is a tough one.
Spirited Lady, if you have something to say to her, this is your chance.
I'll give you a chance to go home and eat.
I'll be there. Wait.
(She sounded like a nagging mom.)
She said she'd give her a chance to go home and eat. Okay.
Queen of Mask Singer, do you have anything to say to them?
(She hesitates and sighs.)
I'd like all of us to try our best.
She wants all of you to do your best.
Okay.
From now, Round Three, the Final Round...
which will decide the King of Mask Singer will begin.
Yangcheon-gu Shepherd Boy will sing first.
(The Final Round begins now.)
- I can't wait. - I can't either.
The shoes look heavy though.
But I like the character.
(He is not a common character.)
(He is eye-catching.)
(Up against the strong female vocalist,)
(which song did he choose to collect panelists' votes?)
(""A Lady Cashier at the Tobacconist" by Song Chang Sik)
Are you ready? Where is my man?
(This time, he changed into a tough guy.)
Hey, hey, hey.
(Shepherd Boy leads the audience so well.)
Hey.
(The atmosphere is hot from the start.)
(Here comes his uniquely bright and clear voice.)
Hey.
(Are you singing about me...)
(or me?)
(Look forward to it)
(It's coming soon)
(He pleases people's eyes and ears with fun performance.)
(He also uses a gesture that suits the lyrics.)
(It's exciting.)
- Hey. - Hey.
(The charming rock vocalist knows how to enjoy with the audience.)
(He is having fun.)
(He plays on the audience with his impressive performance.)
Hey.
(He plays on the audience with his impressive performance.)
(With amazing energy, he dominates the stage.)
(He has rock spirit of his own...)
(and a powerful and stable voice.)
(He is awesome.)
(As if Shepherd Boy runs on the field,)
(he runs on the stage freely.)
I, 2, 3, 4.
(They are on fire.)
(It's a crazy Sunday night full of cheerful energy.)
(I love you)
(People's body, not their mind, react automatically to this song.)
(They are amazed.)
(Shepherd Boy's powerful "A Lady Cashier at the Tobacconist.")
(Bravo)
(Oh my.)
Let me lay down for a second.
(A performance that had so much energy that a rest is necessary.)
He's so charming.
Wow, that was amazing.
(Shepherd boy's irresistible charm.)
Oh, he's amazing.
Opposing Shepherd boy,
she beat singers, Gong Min Zy and Lee Sang Woo.
Her voice is her strong point.
It's Spirited Lady on the Ninth Rank.
(Spirited Lady on the Ninth Rank)
(Spirited Lady, Do well!)
(Soft steps)
(Spirited Lady is here.)
(Welcome)
Oh, it's her.
She hasn't even sung yet, and it's already hard to choose.
(Both singers have their own unique characteristics.)
They have such contrasting styles.
I know. This is a difference in preference.
(The excitement from Shepherd Boy's performance remains on the stage.)
(What has she prepared to put to rest the passion from...)
(Shepherd Boy's performance and take one step closer to...)
(go up against Singing Puss?)
("Dear Love" by The One)
(This time she has chosen a strong ballad.)
(Her voice takes over the mood.)
(The serenity in her voice makes it sound sadder.)
(She regains strength.)
(I try to straighten myself up,)
(but the reflection of me by myself...)
(makes me look more pathetic.)
(She has a delicate but strong reverberation.)
(Even though she was dumped, a strong yearning remains for him.)
(She cries out in heartache using her whole body.)
(Oh, my heart aches.)
(I call out by myself...)
(his name.)
(I miss you, my love)
(Eagerness to express the pain)
(My dear love)
(Amazed)
(A whirlpool of sad love)
(A sorrow that shoots up into the sky.)
(A heavenly voice that makes the soul cry, "Dear Love.")
(A breathtakingly overwhelming performance.)
Oh, I have goosebumps.
(Goosebumps)
(Amazing!)
She's really amazing.
That was great.
I watched in fascination.
That was unbelievable.
The third round to determine who goes onto the Final Round is over.
She is getting ready for her third chance at the crown.
Singing Puss, can you share with us how you feel?
The person wearing rain boots...
not only speaks very well,
but sings well too, so I'm scared.
And I don't think...
Spirited Lady is a human.
- She is not a human? - Yes.
(Dizzy)
I'm in big trouble.
- She is a human. - Okay.
I feel as though it might have made your desire to win stronger.
(Did it make her feel more competitive?)
I honestly just hope that I can finish my performance well.
- Well, if you do your best, - Yes, of course.
- I'm sure you'll have good results. - Yes.
Singing Puss will prepare for the Final Round.
Please give her a round of applause.
Please go backstage and prepare for the Final Match.
Young Seok, you have watched the Final Round,
and you look completely exhausted.
Yes, I'm just about ready to pass out.
As I was watching these two perform, an old saying came to mind.
"All roads lead to Rome."
As I was watching these two people,
I felt that saying, "All songs lead to the King of Mask Singer"...
is not an exaggeration.
I see. Thank you very much.
Spirited Lady...
Well, to be honest, I don't like high notes.
I also dislike excessiveness.
But if you cry out with such elegance...
(It's an irresistible charm.)
if you overflow like this, how could one dislike it or...
not be in awe?
To be honest, when I heard her singing,
I thought to myself that a song in and of itself is a living thing.
It really evolves and moves.
And it can make a person feel excitement.
What about Shepherd Boy, who has a completely different color?
This person is a real rocker.
There is a band abroad called Judas Priest.
(They are considered to be the standard for heavy metal.)
(They're a band whose strong sound cuts to the quick.)
He is a traditional rocker whose tone is similar to this legend.
He is a total king of beasts, a lion.
And in this performance,
he was determined to use up...
every inkling of energy he had in his body.
(He came onto the stage with firm determination.)
I am at a loss for words just watching these two...
battle over the high tones.
- They are truly amazing. - Oh, really?
They truly have top quality high voices.
They have singing abilities that don't lose its grace.
I want to give them another round of applause.
I feel like I've become a seal.
Is that so?
Du Jun, you look mesmerized.
Yes, I think I just watched in awe.
When Shepherd Boy was singing,
it was like a concert. He did such a great job here.
I watched and wondered to myself, "How much more fun and exciting...
are his own concerts?"
And for Spirited Lady,
I felt like my whole body was being wrapped in silk.
It left me dumbfounded.
As for Shepherd Boy,
his musical skills are obviously amazing,
but aside from his singing abilities,
his stage manner is like...
Van Halen's David Lee Roth.
He performs passionately on stages.
When I saw him performing on stage,
I realized he had the ability to excite people.
So his performance was very enjoyable.
While watching Spirited Lady's performance...
That song was inserted in the drama "My Husband's Woman".
It was sung by The One.
- "Dear Love". - Yes.
(The One's "Dear Love")
(Hee Ae took her friend's husband.)
Hee Ae got into an affair with her friend's husband.
Bae Jong Ok was the wife who got left alone.
This song was used in that drama.
If her version was inserted,
the drama would've become a horror drama.
- A horror drama. - Yes.
For men,
her song would've been really chilling.
Is the sorrow of a deserted woman supposed to be that scary?
If this song was played in the scene where Jong Ok lashes out,
we would've been so scared.
And the viewer rating would've dropped.
- It was really great. - Yes.
- It was different from The One's. - You can't cheat.
When I was listening to Spirited Lady's song,
I slowly became weak.
It felt like she was taking my soul.
Right.
While listening to her song, I realized that...
her singing is like method acting.
Actors do method acting.
You get immersed in that world,
and you become your character when you act.
And it makes the viewers completely get absorbed into it.
That's what her performance was like.
- All right. - Spirited Lady's song...
still lingers in my ears.
The song lingers in my ears.
I thought about where I've seen this,
and I realized I've seen it in a movie.
I've seen a lady whose hair was rolled like hers...
and who was dressed like a typical mid-aged woman. But at one point,
she shouted.
(She roared like a lion.)
And people's eardrums exploded.
Things flew, and glasses broke. There was even a storm.
It's like that woman came to Korea.
- She is that lady. - Yes.
She's the lady from the movie "Kung Fu Hustle".
She was like that lady.
All right. Let's hear from...
the viewer panelist, Kim Ji Hwan.
Just the fact that I'm here...
is the greatest honor...
- in my 25 years of life. - Yes.
I am never going to be able to forget this day.
That's how great their performances were. I am very grateful to them...
and to the production staffs of King of Mask Singer.
All right.
I will announce the result of...
Round Three, Final Round.
You will be shocked...
by the result.
This is the right result, right? Are you sure?
Okay. I will announce the result now.
Exuding his rough charms,
he rushes endlessly.
Yangcheon-gu Shepherd Boy.
Her emotions and high voice exploded simultaneously...
and grabbed everyone's attention.
Spirited Lady on the Ninth Rank.
Only with their voices,
they had an unpredictable match.
Between the two masked singers,
who will go to...
the 53rd Final Match? It will be revealed now.
(Exuding manliness,)
(he fired up his performance with his infinite energy.)
(Shepherd Boy is a powerful rock vocalist.)
(She conveyed the emotion of a desperate woman.)
(She touched our souls with her deep ballad.)
(Spirited Lady is a singer with a heavenly voice.)
Who will become the winner of this match...
and become the rival of...
Singing Puss in Boots?
The winner is...
- The winner is... - The winner is...
(It's a match of the century.)
Goodness.
The winner is...
(It's a male vocalist versus a female vocalist.)
(It's exciting emotion versus rich emotion.)
(It's the match between personal preferences.)
(What will be the result?)
Please reveal the result. Who is it?
The winner is...
(Spirited Lady on the Ninth Rank)
Spirited Lady won.
(She's the master!)
(She made it to Final Round.)
Spirited Lady won.
(It's exciting!)
I was so nervous.
Spirited Lady...
beat Shepherd Boy.
(Congratulations)
She received 74 votes.
It was an intense game.
And she received 74 votes.
You became a candidate.
At the backstage, you will watch the King of Mask Singer's stage.
Please give it up for her one more time.
(Shortly, energetic Shepherd Boy's identity will be revealed.)
(She's exhausted.)
(Goodness.)
I did it. I love it.
(She dances.)
He assumed he was going to become the King of Mask Singer,
and didn't get his makeup done.
Shepherd Boy.
Do you want to go in and put on some makeup...
or do you not mind it?
Actually, while watching Spirited Lady at the back,
I realized I should put on my makeup.
I thought that. But I have no regrets about today...
because I had a real fun.
(You are the best.)
(You were great.)
Who would Shepherd Boy be?
Please turn back, Shepherd Boy.
(Who is he?)
Now, please take off your mask...
and reveal your face.
(Isn't he Ha Hyun Woo?)
(He was suspected to be Hyun Woo as soon as he appeared.)
(He's got enough talents to shock the music industry.)
(He must be a seasoned singer.)
(His voice is colorful like a cartoon.)
(His stage manners excite people.)
(Gu Ra was right.)
(He's filled with lovely charms.)
He's a charming guy.
(That charming man will be unveiled now.)
He is...
(They are shocked.)
Who is he?
I think he's from a band.
He's wearing glasses.
He's a charming man.
He is...
He is from a rising star rock band,
Romantic Punch. He is Bae In Hyuk.
(He's Bae In Hyuk, the vocalist of Romantic Punch.)
(We knew he was a talented singer.)
I know Romantic Punch.
(Welcome)
I haven't seen him in such a long time.
Can you say hello to our viewers?
Hello, I am Bae In Hyuk from the band Romantic Punch.
(He's the vocalist of unique rock band Romantic Punch.)
(His sensual voice and performance...)
(attracted many fans.)
(In 2003, they won the gold medal at an amateur rock contest.)
(They proved their talents before the debut.)
(They beat the famous and talented bands...)
(and became the runner-up of "Top Band 2".)
(Romantic Punch will be touring clubs for the 50th time next month.)
(Proving their popularity,)
(they've been having a monthly solo concert since 2009.)
(He's the rocker who will continue the legacy of Korean rock music.)
(Having wits as a bonus, Bae In Hyuk is a romantic vocalist.)
From what I know,
In Hyuk was personally recommended by...
Music Commander in My Town,
Ha Hyun Woo.
Did you know about this?
He wanted us to catch up with Guckkasten.
I think that's why he supported me.
But I met such a strong opponent.
I am sorry that I got eliminated when he recommended me.
But I am really thankful that he gave me the opportunity.
- I have to treat him. - Yes.
I will say one last thing.
In Hyuk,
I've never seen you freer than today.
The fact that he can be free on stage...
means that he's already reached a high level.
I think his freedom...
was his best weapon today.
- Thank you. - I knew as soon as I heard him.
I am a big fan of Romantic Punch.
I've got all three albums from "Midnight Cinderella".
- Yes. - I always...
listen to their songs.
I am honored to see you here.
It's a very meaningful day for him.
- Yes. - Thank you.
He exuded unique energy...
and talent today...
and received many people's love.
Please give it up for In Hyuk.
(We were happy to listen to your singing.)
(Spirited Lady came out to say bye to him.)
She's too great that I am speechless.
She was amazing.
I gave my everything.
It was really fun.
The band Romantic Punch...
will try to meet you more.
We are very popular at festivals.
So please visit many of our concerts this year,
watch us,
and spend a good year with us.
Korean rock and roll band,
Romantic Punch. Please love us!
Here's the result of Round Three.
Spirited Lady on the Ninth Rank beat Bae In Hyuk of Romantic Punch...
and made it on to Final Round.
Now,
Singing Puss'...
defense performance remains.
What kind of performance will...
Singing Puss put on and keep her place as the Queen of Mask Singer?
Now, the 53rd Final Match...
will begin now.
(It begins now.)
This is the 53rd Final Match.
Her singing instincts are hidden in her lovely eyes.
The 52nd Queen of Mask Singer, Singing Puss in Boots!
(The queen's dignity...)
(is shown as the door of the King of Mask Singer opens.)
(Hail to the queen!)
(Singing Puss comes out.)
(We've been waiting for you.)
(She finally appeared.)
(Her cloak seems unusual.)
(It's the queen.)
- Doesn't she look cool? - She does.
Gosh, she looks so great.
Goodness. Her cloak looks beautiful.
She must feel a lot of pressure today.
Good luck.
(Singing Puss stands politely.)
(What kind of stage will she show us this time?)
(It's getting harder to defend the throne.)
(Spirited Lady stirred up the audience with amazing high notes.)
(What will be the lethal move she prepared to defeat Spirited Lady?)
("A Glass of Soju" by Lim Chang Jung)
(The sound of her breathing sounds so sad.)
(The time that we shined brightly has faded away.)
(Her sad voice conveys her longing for an old love.)
(She holds back her sorrow and heartbreaking grief.)
(Hello? It's me)
(Are you well?)
(Her mournful voice makes you want to protect her.)
(Her delicate expression of emotions takes your breath away.)
(She sings about her regrets about the past through sorrowful whisper.)
(Her voice relieves the pain of a breakup.)
(It's her true feelings that she can't tell.)

(The sorrowfulness deepens.)
(The bitter soju reminds her of her old love.)
(Her powerful singing creates a sad resonance.)
(It's been a while, my love)
(She lets out a cry while thinking of her old love.)
(Hello? It's me)
(I'm so sorry)
(The deep resonance makes you sadly reminisce the love in the past.)
She's so good.
Gosh, I feel dizzy.
I think her performance today was the best.
I was totally fascinated by her.
It was great. She's an amazing singer.
It was her best performance.
The Queen of Mask Singer's stage is now over.
It's time for you to make a decision.
Press number one for Spirited Lady on the Ninth Rank.
Press number two for Singing Puss in Boots.
Will Singing Puss be able to defend her throne again?
Or will Spirited Lady become the new Queen of Mask Singer?
All votes are in.
What did you think of today's Final Match, Hyun Chul?
Here is a thing about soju.
We often drink wine or whisky...
when there is a happy occasion.
But we drink soju when we're sad and happy.
It's a liquor that has people's joy and sorrow.
The song sounded great when Lim Chang Jung sang it,
but when she sang it, I thought she's the queen for a reason.
I think she's a person who knows what love is.
She expressed her feelings so well while singing.
She was so immersed in the song that...
I thought she might have forgotten who she is.
I dare say her performance today...
was the best among her other performances.
You think it was the best performance so far.
(It really touched our hearts.)
It seems like the way female singers...
express their emotions is different from how male singers do it.
What did you think, Sung Ryoung?
The queen is excellent at expressing her emotions.
Even when she wasn't doing anything,
I found it really touching.
I see.
(Her soft voice breaks the silence.)
(Maybe I should drink soju with her.)
It felt like her song was breaking my heart.
As for Spirited Lady, I thought my heart was going to explode.
- You were overwhelmed. - I was.
(I love you)
(Thrilled)
(Her cry pierced through people's hearts.)
(My love)
(It stole Sung Ryoung's heart.)
The voice that makes your heart explode,
and the voice that breaks your heart.
After all, Final Match is about...
which of their performances the audience remembers more.
If the first singer won their hearts,
the latter can't win it over.
If the second performance makes the audience...
forget about the 1st one, they'd vote for the 2nd singer.
Spirited Lady's singing style isn't limited to pop songs.
She might remind people of someone like Sarah Brightman.
But the important thing in singing is to express your emotions.
In that aspect, this will be a very close match.
- It's hard to tell who will win. - Yes.
What about you, Min Ah?
As I listened to Singing Puss' song,
I could feel her sorrowfulness...
and desperateness very vividly.
Listening to her song made me sad.
I think many female audiences would agree with me.
On the other hand, I was dumbfounded when I was listening...
to Spirited Lady's song.
I was astonished, and it sounded so surreal.
I felt like I was getting dragged into a black hole.
(The high frequency of her voice made Min Ah dizzy.)
(This must be my home.)
There is someone who said he definitely...
knows who Spirited Lady is. It's Kai.
Now that you've seen the queen's performance, I wonder how you feel.
I want to applaud Spirited Lady,
Okay.
and I want to give Singing Puss a hug.
As I listened to Spirited Lady's song,
it made me think of dense jungle in the Amazon.
Her singing felt like very dense jungle...
full of green and large trees.
I think that's why her singing felt shocking to us.
Meanwhile, Singing Puss's song made me imagine an oasis.
I imagined an oasis in the middle of the desert.
She was like a cactus that stands in loneliness.
She made our hearts ache...
and inspired a need to offer a consolation and a hug.
The touching performance awakened undefined...
loneliness and compassion in our hearts.
It was agonizing to make a decision.
Du Jun, how do you predict the result?
- Me? - Yes.
Am I allowed to talk about it?
It's your personal opinion.
- Are you inquiring after my taste? - That's not true.
Put your taste aside...
and tell us how you predict the result.
How do you expect me to do that?
- You want me to put my taste aside. - It's only a prediction.
Seong Ju, here is what I am curious about.
Let's ask them what they thought about each other's performance.
- You want them to judge each other. - I want their honest opinions.
You heard Singing Puss sing.
What did you think about her performance?
Like the panelists said,
her performance made me tear up.
(She added depth to her emotions.)
(I cried)
(She shed tears at the backstage.)
That makes me feel anxious.
I say that because Gu Ra...
(I say that because Gu Ra...)
What should I call him?
Just call me Gu Ra.
(She is hilarious.)
Use whatever title you want.
Since they don't know who you are,
you can say, "Hey, Gu Ra."
Hey, Gu Ra. I am sorry.
(It's okay.)
I was confident at first.
However, I became more nervous as her performance progressed.
I thought, "Maybe I shouldn't be so confident."
You realized you might not become King of Mask Singer.
Did you know that Spirited Lady will move on...
to Round Three?
Yes.
I couldn't keep my mouth closed as I watched her performances.
My mouth was wide open inside the mask.
I see.
That means...
(Giggling)
What is going on?
They are laughing together.
They became intimidated by each other's performance.
Now, I will announce the result...
of the 53rd Final Match.
I am curious.
Will Singing Puss succeed in winning three times in a row?
Will Spirited Lady...
begin the new reign as King of Mask Singer?
Which masked singer...
did your unbiased heart side with?
Let's find out.
Who will be the winner?
(With a heartrending voice that pierces the heart,)
(Spirited Lady on the Ninth Rank appeared like a comet.)
(She filled Round One with sorrowful emotions.)
(There is a reason why she is called Spirited Lady.)
(As if she was channeling the muse of music,)
(she played with notes on Round Two.)
(She is here to take down Queen of Mask Singer.)
(She topped intense soul with her powerful singing skills.)
(She threw her hat in the ring by hitting high notes.)
(She refuses to give up the throne easily.)

(She was the master of controlled emotions.)
Who will be the 53rd King of Mask Singer?
The winner is...

(Shouting)
This is nerve-wracking.
I can't watch it.
The matches are incredibly fun today.
(Half excited and half nervous)

That's incredible.

It was a neck-and-neck match.
Spirited Lady became the winner.
The final score was 58 to 41.
With a final score of 58 to 41,
Spirited Lady became the new Queen of Mask Singer.
She will receive a king's gown and the golden mask.
Please give her a big hand.
(Congratulations.)
(The mask goes well with her hair rollers.)
Please tell us how you feel about taking the throne.
My heart is beating so fast...
that I don't know what to say.
(Giggling)
(She is cute.)
It doesn't feel real.
Singing Puss gave an incredible performance.
I was happy to see a performance like that.
Thank you so much for making me the new Queen of Mask Singer.
I will work hard.
- All right. - Thank you.
She became Queen of Mask Singer on the second anniversary special.
It's especially meaningful to take the throne today.
Spirited Lady will exit the stage.
Please give her a big hand.
(Please continue to sing well.)
She became the new Queen of Mask Singer.
The 53rd Queen of Mask Singer...
is Spirited Lady.
We now have the new Queen of Mask Singer.
Please exit the stage through a staircase in the center.
(The identity of Singing Puss will be revealed soon.)
I have no words.
My heart is pounding.
(Laughing)
I will work hard.
(Hurrah)
Thank you.
Now, let's check out the identity...
of the 51st and 52nd Queen of Mask Singer,
Singing Puss in Boots.
Please move to the back of the stage.
Singing Puss in Boots,
who was the 51st and 52nd Queen of Mask Singer,
please take off your mask...
and reveal your face.
(From the start, she had the aura of Queen of Mask Singer.)
(Within her sentimental voice...)
(lies sincerity.)
(Her delicate expression of emotions...)
(moved people's hearts.)
(Listening to her song...)
(made the heart ache and the nose itch.)
(Singing Puss delivered sentimentality of women.)
(Her clear voice is reminiscent of Lee Sun Hee.)
Singing Puss in Boots, please take off your mask...
and reveal your face.
Who could she be?
(Amazed)
(It's good to see you.)
(Who is she?)
Who is she?
Singing Puss in Boots, please take off your mask...
and reveal your face.
She is...
a member of the talented female duo, Davichi's Lee Hae Ri.
(Lee Hae Ri?)
- I knew it. - I knew it.
I knew it.
(They are not surprised the voice belonged to her.)
(He is happy to see her.)
That's incredible.
My goodness, Hae Ri.
Hello, I am Lee Hae Ri of Davichi.
(She is a member of Davichi, a female duo that debuted in 2008.)
(Their hit songs include "8282", "Don't Say Goodbye", etc.)
(She has deep sentimentality and explosive singing skills.)
(She has a beautiful voice that moves the heart.)
(Not only did she sing OST for various dramas,)
(but she also appeared in musicals.)
(Lee Hae Ri is the female lead of "Mozart, the Rock Opera".)
(The next-generation of the music industry, Lee Hae Ri)
Was it different from singing with your face exposed?
Because I sing ballad songs,
I often wear short skirts or tight clothes.
That's why I am usually mindful of how I move on the stage.
I think I broke away from that and sang comfortably here.
- For the first time in 10 years, - Yes.
- you didn't worry about the camera. - That's right.
Your partner, Kang Min Kyung...
- was also on King of Mask Singer. - Yes, she was.
(She wore a mask and fought against biases.)
(Cotton Candy on a Picnic showed off an unexpected voice.)
(The other member of Davichi, Kang Min Kyung)
Did she give you any special advice?
She encouraged me to perform on the program.
- She said wearing a mask is easy. - She said it's easy.
- It's easy to sing in a mask. - She told me I will be fine.
When I decided to visit the show, she told me...
to get lost if I don't become Queen of Mask Singer.
She told you to get lost.
She put so much pressure on me.
I gave performances under great pressure.
I am glad I became Queen of Mask Singer.
When it come to a ballad song,
seeing the artist's facial expressions...
is the part of the performance.
We didn't get to see her facial expressions.
Despite wearing the mask of a cat with huge eyes,
she moved our hearts.
It's an impressive feat.
Many people acknowledge Hae Ri...
as a talented vocalist. She proved it to the world.
- She did. - You've done a very good job.
She can express sweet, bitter, sour and salty tastes...
with one song.
I see.
She's a well-bred young lady of the K-pop scene.
- A well-bred lady? - Yes.
She's definite daughter-in-law material.
- He's right. - She's like Shin Saimdang.
She has a very appealing voice.
I'd give her my kidney if she asked me to.
Now I understand why we kept mentioning...
about your name...
whenever we saw someone who's slender and sings well.
You were so amazing.
- All right. - Thank you.
She displayed...
her great singing skills to the fullest...
while she looked so comfortable...
on the stage ever since her debut.
Please give her a round of applause.
Thank you.
(You did a very good job.)
(Are you disappointed?)
I'm not disappointed at all.
I feel good and relieved.
I feel great.
I was grateful that I'm a singer.
Who would live a life like this?
I can do something that I love...
while being loved by people.
I feel grateful on the stage.
Thank you very much...
for having loved Singing Puss in Boots.
Now I feel relieved and sad at the same time.
I'll keep singing for a long time.
Singing Puss.
("Secretly and Greatly" is coming soon.)
