The mysterious music show, King of Mask Singer.
Previously on King of Mask Singer.
With explosive voice...
and sensibility as deep as the sea,
he beat Hamburger and seized the throne.
He's the 60th King of Mask Singer,
Mascot of the Ocean, Baby Sea Horse
(Ta-da!)
(Hello)
(Hello, Baby Sea Horse!)
The songs will cool you down like cool breeze.
The mysterious music show, King of Mask Singer.
I am your unbiased show host, Kim Seong Ju.
(Im Jin Mo and Joon Park)
(Ji Soo and Eli)
(Yun Hyeon Suk)
Please say hello to the viewers.
(King of Mask Singer Baby Sea Horse)
(Wriggle wriggle sing)
(How cute!)
(The front leg shoots out)
(The hind leg shoots out)
(Jumping jumping)
(I became the King of Mask Singer)
You became the King of Mask Singer.
(Baby Sea Horse is adorable.)
You are about to have your first defense match.
Do you think you can win for the second time?
(He's pressured.)
Don't sigh.
Last week, you beat Hamburger...
with a single blow.
Now I know how he must've felt.
- I feel so sorry to him. - Right.
- Right. - But I had no choice.
- You had no choice. - Right.
I prepared hard for this.
All right. We are excited to see your amazing performance.
Gu Ra, what do you think about your new king?
Sea horse is a globally endangered species.
- It's an endangered animal. - It's a precious animal.
It is very precious.
The environment is too poor...
for him to defend his title.
So I hope he will do his best today...
- and manage to survive. - Right.
- He shouldn't lower his guard. - Of course.
I am endangered. You can save me.
- Of course. - He shouldn't go extinct.
- Of course he shouldn't. - Baby Sea Horse is our new king.
Please give it up for him.
(We will cheer for you.)
Baby Sea Horse is going for his second win.
Who will become his rival?
Let's begin the duet song competition of Round One.
Let's begin the first match.
(The first match begins.)
(King of Mask Singer)
It's the first match of Round One.
The ice princess' cool voice...
is topped with sweet charms.
She's as refreshing as fruits.
(She's got refreshing charms like delicious fruits.)
Bingsu fruit bingsu
I am the queen
Hello.
(Everyone welcomes her with big smiles.)
She's got refreshing charms.
She's cute.
Up against her is...
the singer with the most brilliant voice and irresistible charms.
Parasol Wants to Avoid the Sun.
(He's a man with a variety of charms.)
My voice will beat the heat.
Do, re, mi, fa, sol.
(He's got the presence as strong as the sun.)
(Welcome)
(Goodness)
He's fancy.
We're going to have a refreshing start.
(It's the competition between the two charming summer items.)
(Who will beat the heat and challenge the king?)
I am nervous. What do I do?
(The king is anxious.)
(The two summer must-have items will start competing...)
(to challenge Baby Sea Horse.)
("Good Person" by Toy)
It's "Good Person".
(The exciting rhythm makes them dance.)
("Good Person" contains the feeling of one-sided love.)
(Her refreshing voice goes well with the summer days.)
Goodness.
(Her voice is undoubtedly beautiful.)
(He counterattacks with a voice as warm as sunshine.)
(It's lovely.)
(It's as sweet as honey.)
(His seduction is too fatal to resist.)
(Her clear voice makes us...)
(want to remember and protect it.)
(Her voice cleanses their ears.)
(Fruit Bingsu's falsetto is as cool as it can be.)
(He gets chills.)
(I love it when you smile)
(They sincerely confess their sweet love.)
(Parasol's innocent voice...)
(is combined with the refreshing voice of Fruit Bingsu.)
(They harmonize like a young college couple.)
(The excitement of one-sided love makes you want to be a good person.)
I think she's a singer.
Isn't she Kang Su Sie?
(How exciting!)
(Her voice is as refreshing as vitamin.)
(They're like a charming gift set everyone loves.)
(He's got the innocence of a young man in his 20s,)
(And his mellow voice penetrates our hearts.)
(He plainly confesses about his one-sided love.)
(I'm happy if you're happy)
(They sing with soothing and clear voices.)
(Her voice is as sweet as bingsu.)
(My goodness.)
(She's got a comforting voice.)
(It's a sweet whisper from a nice guy.)
(His charming voice makes us want to fall in love.)
(Their different voices...)
(create a perfect harmony.)
(I always look at you)
(From behind you)
(It's a song about one-sided love.)
(It's awesome.)
("Good Person" is a song about one-sided love of the young people.)
- I love it. - That was refreshing.
They look like a couple who just started dating.
(It's hard to vote.)
This is so hard.
The first match of...
Round One is now over.
Let's hear Young Seok's opinion first.
I simply fell in love with the voice of Fruit Bingsu.
Considering she could sing powerfully with a falsetto voice,
she is a very skilled singer.
Her voice itself is so beautiful.
It is going to be amazing when she sings alone.
I'm looking forward to hearing that.
And as for Parasol... Isn't Parasol the name of the notes?
- Fa, Ra, sol. - You're right.
He doesn't seem to be a professional singer,
but I can tell he is musically talented,
looking at how he interprets the song.
He said he wanted to avoid the sun,
but his voice itself is like the sunshine.
(Impressed)
He seems to be flattered to hear that.
I think he might be an actor who loves music.
So you don't think he is a singer.
Is Fruit Bingsu a singer?
She has to be a singer.
She must be a retired singer.
- A retired singer? - Yes.
- Is she not a singer anymore? - No, she's not.
Once you hear a voice like hers,
you will never be able to forget it. She's got a voice from up above.
When she was dancing in the beginning,
I thought she shouldn't be a professional singer.
But I think she has become a bit laid back...
because she hasn't been on a stage for a long time.
What about Parasol?
He seems like a very easygoing person to me.
He is not that talented...
to be a celebrity.
He is not that talented.
- I'm sorry to say this, but... - I see.
It isn't easy to make such a hand gesture.
Actually, someone who is confident wouldn't wave so much like that.
Is that so?
He pretends to be cheery.
People like him drink beer later at home,
thinking about the things they shouldn't have done.
I'm sure his alumni would be surprised.
They would be like, "He has become a celebrity?"
He must have been a really quiet person.
Funny people never sit like that after saying something funny.
(Giggling)
Joon, how did you like it?
Hey, your jacket is too humble today.
I'm wearing a humble one...
- because I heard you were coming. - You used to wear wallpapers.
I'm not wearing wallpapers today.
(Your suit looks nice.)
(It looks like a wallpaper.)
(It looks like a duvet for spring.)
I'm not wearing wallpapers today.
- You're wearing a normal one. - I put on a simple one today.
(He is cute.)
Seriously, I love...
both their voices.
They are nice people as well.
The one on the right...
must be an elementary school teacher.
An elementary school teacher?
- He's a teacher. - An elementary school teacher.
He must be popular among girls because of his nice personality.
To be honest, he is not a good singer.
But he sings with a plain and comfortable voice.
If I were to compare him with artists,
he wouldn't be Picasso who created convoluted artworks.
Is Picasso's painting convoluted?
You know what I mean. Honestly, his paintings are complicated.
They are abstract.
(His paintings are not easy to understand.)
But he is simple.
- He is simple... - Just plain and simple.
- yet pure. - Yes.
The one on the left can be a perfect kindergarten teacher.
"It's time to eat", "You shouldn't spit on the ground".
- Something like this. - I see.
And I'm sure she is a professional singer.
She was a singer when g.o.d was active...
which is between the late 90s and the early 2000s.
I think she used to be an active singer then.
Just like a defendant at the court,
she is frozen.
Let's see.
Let me talk to Im Jin Mo now. Welcome.
- Hello. - Welcome to our show.
How did you like their performances?
Parasol has got my favorite kind of voice.
- Do you know Daddy Long Legs? - Yes.
Parasol's voice is like his.
He must be very popular among girls.
(He is popular among girls.)
He has a voice that I want the most.
One of the most famous singers of the 90s, Yun Hyeon Suk is here too.
- Hello. My name is Hyeon Suk. - Welcome.
(She was a member of Zam, a successful idol group of the 90s.)
Do you have any idea who they could be?
Actually, if they are both single,
I wish they get married.
(They look good together.)
Seriously, their voices...
made me feel comfortable.
I forgot I had to guess who they are.
(Their amazing harmony made her forget her job.)
What about you, Kai?
As Fruit Bingsu started singing,
I was reminded of the voice I used to listen to when I was a student.
I'm really surprised because I can't believe...
she is on this show.
Thank you so much for coming.
There's nothing to be thankful for when you don't know who she is.
I used to love her.
So you are sure about who she is.
- Yes. - I see.
Now, let's see more of their charms...
from their specialties.
First, Parasol is going to imitate the announcement from the subway...
in Lee Sun Gyun's voice.
Please show us.
The train is coming.
(Imitating the chime)
(Surprised)
(Laughing)
This stop is Sinchon, Sinchon.
The door opens on your right.
If you use the left door, you will die.
Goodbye.
Thank you. Thank you.
I think he is quite talented.
It wasn't so creative though.
You must have practiced 12 hours a day.
- You think he practiced a lot. - Yes.
(I can do that too.)
This stop is Sinchon.
No door will open.
Now, it's Fruit Bingsu's turn.
She's going to imitate the subway announcement in different languages.
First, the subway announcement of Korea.
This stop is Sinchon, Sinchon.
The door opens on your right.
Please mind the gap...
between the train...
and the platform.
That was a great hint.
It wasn't an announcement of nowadays.
Her voice sounded like...
the subway announcement from 20 years ago.
(This is the subway announcement from 20 years ago.)
(It sounds the same as Fruit Bingsu's imitation.)
(It's a different announcement...)
(from the one we're most familiar with.)
The middle aged people here should know what I mean.
(Is she someone who remembers the announcement from 20 years ago?)
Now, she is going to do the announcement in English.
Please show us.
This stop is Sinchon, Sinchon station.
The doors are on your right.
Thank you.
- Her pronunciation was pretty good. - Yes, she sounds like a local.
Lastly, the subway announcement in Japanese.
Please show us.
(The next stop is Sinchon station.)
Thank you.
(That was perfect.)
Thank you. Next,
Parasol is going to show you...
the difference between a good student and a bad student...
playing Pump It Up.
First, how would a good student play it?
(He inserts a coin.)
(He dances stiffly.)
I see. A good student steps on what he's supposed to step on.
There you go.
Very good.
(He only moves his legs.)
He dances as if he can see the arrows.
(He struggles to the end.)
Thank you. That was a good student.
(It's hard for a good student to have fun.)
The highlight of this performance is the next, a bad student.
Please start the music again.
A bad student plays Pump It Up.
(Powerful)
A bad student makes bigger moves.
(It has become more than just a game. It's now a dance.)
(He hits the pads with his hands.)
A bad student plays the game with his hands too.
If you have played this game, you must know how it is.
(He might get bad grades at school, but not in this game.)
Thank you.
(Great job.)
Good job.
He has many talents.
I think it's coming from his own experience.
He seems like someone who used to be a good student,
but got addicted to the game.
(Laughing)
Let's hear the opinions of...
the idol singers.
Ji Soo of Blackpink.
(We'll hear from Ji Soo first.)
I thought...
he was an actor...
when he started singing at first.
But after watching his specialties,
- I think he's a comedian. - You think he's a comedian now.
- A comedian? - Yes.
He's a very funny person.
He doesn't seem to be any funnier than myself.
(He's not that funny.)
I think he's a singer or an actor.
- Really? - An actor?
What about you, Eli?
- Hello. - Hi.
They both have very refreshing voices.
I think Parasol is a model or an actor...
who often sings in front of people at dinner parties.
- What about Fruit Bingsu? - Fruit Bingsu seems like...
a senior singer who has a very powerful voice.
I think she's someone who retired, got married,
and moved to the States. Her song sounded like...
a lullaby she sings to her baby.
Did she sound liked a married woman?
He's absolutely right.
It felt like her voice has become much warmer...
as she sang to her baby.
Mothers usually do baby talk...
- like, "Did you eat din-din?" - That's right.
(My goodness.)
You sound like a grandpa.
- Do you think she has a child? - I do.
All right. I will now announce the result of...
the first match of Round One.
We have Fruit Bingsu, who has a beautiful, pure voice,
and Parasol, whose voice feels like a parasol...
that gives us a place to rest under the blazing sun.
Between them, who will be the winner? Let's find out.
It's the result of the first match of Round One.
(She captured...)
(the audience's hearts with her unrivaled clear voice.)
(Fruit Bingsu with a refreshing voice)
(A voice that sounds pure and sweet)
(His voice shows he's a good person.)
(Parasol with a charming voice)
Who will win this match...
and sing for us in the next round again? The winner is...
(It's a tough choice.)
All right.
(Is it Fruit Bingsu or Parasol?)
(Whose voice will relieve the summer heat again?)
The winner is...
(Juicy Fruit Bingsu wins.)
Fruit Bingsu won.
(We can listen to her song again.)
That's right.
(We can enjoy her refreshing voice again.)
Gosh, Parasol.
The score is 64 to 35.
She defeated him with a score of 64 to 35...
and moved on to Round Two.
Please give her a big hand.
We'll see you again in the next round.
(Parasol's identity will be revealed.)
Please look forward to my next stage.
(It'll be refreshing.)
Many of you think he's an actor.
Some of you think he's a model. Most importantly,
someone said he's an entertainer who isn't so funny.
I wonder if it hurt his feelings,
or if he admits to it.
We will reveal his identity with a solo performance...
he prepared for Round Two. Please give him a big hand.
(His surprising identity will be revealed now.)
(He has a natural, warm voice...)
(like the sunshine.)
(He lacks talents.)
(He showed his specialty...)
(to wipe out the dishonor.)
(Who is this mysterious man?)
("Endure" by Sung Si Kyung)
I think he's a funny actor.
(His voice makes everyone concentrate.)
(Who is he?)
(Parasol carefully gives out each breath.)
(His voice sounds soft and serious.)
I think his voice has something to do with his job.
(Maybe)
(He sings about how he can't get over his love.)
(Each note he sings conveys the pain of a breakup.)
(He expresses his delicate emotions.)
(The tears keep filling up his eyes.)
(It's time to let go of his love.)
(His solid voice shines with mellowness.)
(He seems like a singer, right?)
(He delivers his feelings through the lyrics.)
(Parasol ardently sings with his emotional voice.)
Now, Parasol, please take off your mask...
and reveal your face.
(Screaming)
He is...
They're very surprised.
What is it?
See? Girls love him.
Who is he?
He is...
Moon Chun Sik, a comedian with 19 years of experience.
(Moon Chun Sik?)
(Really?)
(His identity surprises everyone.)
(It was you.)
(Is it really Chun Sik?)
(No one thought it would be Chun Sik.)
(Dumbfounded)
(Why couldn't I recognize you?)
(Chun Sik's soft and mellow voice...)
(was hidden behind his funny image as a comedian.)
(I didn't know he had such a great voice.)
(His warm voice gently approaches the audience.)
(His voice sounds as good as that of a singer.)
(Chun Sik shows off his talents with a charming voice.)
(It's great.)
(They didn't know he had such a sweet voice.)
(Moon Chun Sik, a comedian, touches everyone's hearts with his singing.)
(Chun Sik surprised everyone as he mellowly sang "Endure".)
(You're so handsome.)
(They're happy and surprised to see him.)
It's been such a long time.
(His voice makes you feel good.)
He has a great voice.
It was one of MBC's 10th open recruit comedians,
Moon Chun Sik.
Hello, I'm Moon Chun Sik.
(He debuted as a comedian of MBC in 1999.)
(He always showed off his charms like a chameleon on stage.)
(He became popular as a duo with Go Myung Hwan.)
(Just say I got the right answer, please.)
(With a foolish character and catchphrases,)
(he won the new star award and the excellence award.)
(He became known as a witty comedian.)
(He also started to appear on TV dramas with his unique character.)
(He showed stable acting not only on traditional dramas,)
(but also on plays...)
(and musicals.)
(He also released a few albums and showed off his talents.)
(Moon Chun Sik, an all-round comedian...)
(who never stops dreaming and trying new things.)
You have such a beautiful voice.
I've been in the church choir since I was little.
Whatever I sing, people say it sound sacred.
It sounds like gospel music.
Gu Ra always mentions Chun Sik's name,
but he didn't recognize Chun Sik's voice today.
(When Lee Tae Sung came to the show)
(He might be Moon Chun Sik.)
(Also when Ryu Tae Jun sang on the show,)
(Gu Ra was sure...)
(it was Chun Sik.)
(But when it was actually Chun Sik,)
(he said Chun Sik lacks talents.)
(Frustrated)
I was laughing at Gu Ra here.
He imitated the voice of Lee Sun Gyun earlier,
and it was good and very detailed.
Among comedians, Chun Sik is considered as...
a comedian who's good at acting.
But someone said he had no talents...
when he's just inclined more to acting.
- We asked... - That's a bit...
Yoon Seok about this one.
Chun Sik and I are very close friends.
How could you comment on your friend that way then?
When I said he lacked talents,
I had those straightforward comedians...
like Myung Soo or myself in mind.
Those people come out on TV often these days.
So people may think people like Yoon Seok or Chun Sik...
lack talents relatively.
But in fact, he's such a versatile celebrity.
I was only paradoxically speaking.
- I didn't know that. - Think of it that way.
That's comforting.
Thank you.
I heard you were very much motivated by...
the comments about your not being funny.
Right. At first, I became a comedian...
because I was a humorous kid at school and in my neighborhood.
But there were full of geniuses once I came to broadcasting stations.
For example, there's Yoo Sae Yoon who was born to be a comedian.
Also, Kang Yu Mi and Kim Shin Young.
There are people who are natural-born comedians.
But people thought I could do something else other than this.
I was known to be that kind of a character.
So I always had inferior complex.
I tried to fill in what I lacked,
and it led me to have 19 years of experience.
Recently, I was cast to be a radio show host as well.
- I know. - I'm doing my best.
"Now's the Radio Time".
I see Chun Sik every day actually.
He's a regular guest of my show, but he didn't recognize me.
He's a regular guest?
(Is he Moon Chun Sik?)
(His body shape isn't like that.)
(I see him every week. I'm sure it's not him.)
He's a regular guest?
I think it's time for you to rest.
Critics are stubborn.
They never listen to others.
I had a team dinner with him too, but I didn't show him how I sing.
When I saw him,
I thought his upper body looked similar to Chun Sik,
but he doesn't wear pants like those.
(Looking at the pants)
Do I wear something like hanbok then?
(It's not like he wears hanbok in his daily life.)
You should comment about his music, not his pants.
He's a music critic after all.
You're not here to comment on his pants.
Please focus more on voices next time.
All right.
How did you like his stages, Kai?
My comments about Chun Sik included...
that he didn't sound like a professional singer.
That was because he doesn't have fancy singing skills,
but he does have a warm heart...
which is a must for singers to have.
So I hope you don't give up on it...
and continue to move people through your singing.
That's my wish and cheer for you.
- I see. - Thank you.
His nickname on the stage...
is I Sing Well If I Put My Mind to It, Blue Moon.
Chun Sik proved himself with his great singing ability.
- Give him a round of applause! - Thank you!
Thank you.
Bye!
I wanted to appear on this program once for certain,
and I'm glad that I got nice comments.
I felt great to be an entertainer after a while.
I had been a celebrity who showed people my natural sides.
But this time, I practiced hard to dance, sing, and show my talents...
after a long time.
I was happy that I felt alive.
For those celebrities who haven't appeared on this program yet,
I highly recommend to try this program...
and find themselves as an entertainer. It's really fun.
It was Moon Chun Sik, Parasol Wants to Avoid the Sun.
Please love and support me! Thank you.
I'll come out again!
According to the result of Round One,
Juicy Fruit Bingsu wins against Moon Chun Sik...
and advances to Round Two.
It's the second match of Round One.
It's not fair to be this cute!
You'll be addicted to this pink pig's charms.
Good-looking Singer, Cute Piglet.
(Precious cute piglet is on its way!)
You'll become happy once you listen to my singing!
So cute!
He's cute.
(They fell for his cuteness.)
He's too cute.
Against Cute Piglet...
is the one with a voice that you get addicted right after hearing it.
Father goes grocery shopping on a donkey
Donkey Goes to Market!
(Let's head to the throne on a donkey!)
Promise to enjoy...
the stage with the donkey!
Swag.
He looks like a kid. A little kid.
They're both cute.
(They're cute just to watch.)
(It's the battle between two animals.)
(How will their stage be...)
(in capturing the panelists' eyes and ears?)
("With Love" by Sunflower)
It's "With Love".
("With Love" by Sunflower)
(Their song is unlike their cute appearances!)
(It's good!)
(Cute Piglet's voice is deep and bland.)
(His voice well expresses the sentiments of its original version.)
(Who is this?)
(His vocalization is soft, yet powerful.)
(Unlike his cute appearance,)
(his voice sounds deep and experienced.)
(With our love)
(That will never change)
(To the neighbors who need care and help,)
(his mild voice becomes a warm light.)
(Their message comes to our hearts quietly, but strongly.)
(Baby Sea Horse is immersed in their stage as well.)
(Despite his small build,)
(Donkey's voice is overflowing with sentiments.)
(Their song will make you forget about your loneliness...)
(even if you are on a barren field.)
(Their voices harmonize smoothly.)
(Smiling)
(Donkey's warm voice...)
(fills the stage powerfully.)
(Cute Piglet and Donkey's harmony will comfort...)
(those with painful experiences.)
(It's a song of hope...)
(that will lighten the darkness.)
("With Love" has touched everyone's hearts with hope.)
That was amazing.
It was wonderful.
Is it only me who feels this way?
- It's touching. - I loved it.
Right? I almost cried.
Isn't it touching?
The second match of Round One has finished.
First off, Hyun Chul, please tell us how you liked...
their performance.
I think the two have thought hard about the song's lyrics...
to understand its meanings.
They must have even experienced...
the feelings conveyed in the song.
They put all their might to convey their sincerity.
They understand the lyrics word by word...
through their experiences.
(They're fully aware of its meanings.)
Thank you for your performance.
I'm not sure who you are,
but I'm sure you two have much more experience than me.
You think both of them are your seniors?
Yes, that's what I think.
- Both of them? - Yes.
When they were singing,
Cute Piglet stood still and didn't move an inch.
On the other hand, Donkey kept swaying his upper body.
(Standing still, Swaying)
(Their singing postures are the opposite.)
I think Donkey is a singer...
who doesn't play the guitar or other instruments while singing.
Do you think he tends not to play the guitar when he sings?
Yes.
I noticed this while I was watching Cute Piglet sing on the stage.
Instead of the fact that he was on the stage,
it felt like he was singing in front of a picture...
he had imagined about the song.
It was lovely.
A professional singer would be able to sing better,
but I haven't heard anyone sing with sincerity...
that moves people's hearts so deeply.
I enjoyed the performance.
His outfit gives us some clues.
I bet he is wearing his own clothes under the costume.
- His own clothes? - That means...
he plans to go home after Round One.
I bet he is wearing his own clothes with a wallet and a cell phone...
in his pockets.
He isn't determined to move on to Round Two.
No, he isn't.
I noticed something when he introduced himself.
His voice is so unique...
that I could hear it through the voice changer.
(Cute Piglet with Singing Skills)
(I recognize his voice.)
He and I go way back.
- He is a friend of mine. - Really?
A friend?
He has a signature gesture.
He is tilting his head a bit.
He used to get scolded a lot because of it.
- Who scolded him? - The senior comedians did.
(Why would you bring that up?)
Look at him.
- Gu Ra's claim... - He is a friend's friend.
leaves me flustered.
Watching their performance,
I guessed them to be much older than us.
He is around my age.
- That can't be right. - He is around my age.
What about Donkey? Isn't he your friend?
He doesn't interest me.
Seriously.
- He doesn't interest me. - I think...
they have a big age difference.
The way Cute Piglet stood still as he sang...
reminded me of an old-time performance.
- An old-time performance. - Yes.
As for Donkey,
he reminded me of "Open Concert".
- "Open Concert". - That's right.
While they are both older than us,
there is an age difference between them.
Could you give us the specific age groups...
from their voices?
- I think Cute Piglet is... - Cute Piglet.
in his late 60s.
- He is in his late 60s. - Yes.
As for Donkey, I think...
Be careful what you say, Bong Sun.
(Well...)
I will keep that in mind.
53 years old.
- 53 years old. - Yes.
- He is over 50 years old? - Yes.
- They are 53 and 69 years old. - That's right.
Cute Piglet sang like the oldest masked singer...
in the history of the show.
You think he is the oldest masked singer.
- That's how he sang. - I see.
Even though he isn't a professional singer,
I bet he sang a lot at the church when he was little.
Bong Sun thinks...
he could be 69 years old.
- I think he is 2 years older. - 2 years older.
- I wanted to say that. - You think he is in his 70s.
I think he is in his 70s.
I am very confused about Cute Piglet.
- I am certain Donkey is a singer. - Donkey is a singer.
He sang with ease.
It's Cute Piglet I am uncertain about.
Back then, "With Love" was one of the few songs...
with religious undertones.
That's exactly how Cute Piglet interpreted the song.
He sang reverently like a classical singer.
That's why he didn't sound like...
a professional.
However, his interpretation of the song is correct.
That's why people said the performance touched them...
and brought tears.
- I see. - In my opinion,
Cute Piglet is a professional.
- You think he is a singer. - Yes.
You think he is a singer. All right.
There are varied opinions...
on their ages and professions.
They will show their specialties...
as a hint.
Cute Piglet will sing "Love Song of Mr. Wang"...
without musical accompaniment.
All right. Let's go.
(Mr. Wang, the silk trader)
(Fell in love with Myeong Wol)
(What is this?)
(Mr. Wang spends all the money he earned by selling silk...)
(on Myeong Wol in this sad song.)
(It's good, it's good)
(It's good even though there is no money)
(This is hilarious.)
(He becomes absorbed in the song.)
(Screaming)
(This is hilarious.)
(He finishes the song.)
He can't control himself.
- Let's end it here. - He can't control himself.
You did a good job.
I know because he is my friend.
He can't control himself.
- He can't control himself. - Are you sure he is your friend?
Do you go to Chinese Korean events these days?
(My goodness.)
My friend, that's the problem with you.
You always overdo it.
Cute Piglet has another specialty,
but he won't be able to show it in that costume.
Please come back after you change.
We will see Donkey's specialty in the meanwhile.
Please go and change in haste.
He is a good actor. He is walking slowly on purpose.
- Look at him. - He is walking slowly on purpose.
Use your common sense.
Who in his 70s...
will go and change for a specialty? That's ridiculous.
Use your common sense.
It will lead to an answer.
All right. Here comes Donkey's specialty.
He is good at boy group's dance.
- That's incredible. - That's right.
Donkey's boy groups dance. Music, please.
("Be Mine" by INFINITE)
(Their dance moves are in sync.)
(INFINITE is well-known for the perfect group dance.)
(How will the 53-year-old Donkey dance?)
INFINITE. INFINITE.
(Be mine)
(The dance moves are overly controlled.)
(Neck slice)
(The dance looks somewhat similar.)
(Come on out.)
(This is how he danced.)
(He straightens his T-shirt.)
(Ta-da)
(- Donkey! - Yes?)
(He ends the performance by missing the beat.)
The last move came a bit late.
I still think he is 53 years old.
- He is on the older side. - 53 years old.
May I give a name?
Give us the initials.
- W. - W.
- Is that the end? - Does his last name start with W?
Woo Hyun, the actor.
(That sounds plausible.)
The reaction is nice.
There aren't many people like him.
Woo Hyun, the actor.
- He can sing pretty well. - Really?
- He is an actor. - The audience is stirred up.
You like my guess, right? Woo Hyun, the actor.
- But... - Can Woo Hyun sing this well?
Woo Hyun can sing very well.
That's wrong.
Do you know Woo Hyun?
Of course I do.
Do you know where he lives? He lives in Ilsan.
- "He lives in Ilsan." - He isn't Woo Hyun.
His voice tells me he has sung for 20 to 30 years.
Really?
I think he is Woo Hyun. I don't care what Young Seok thinks.
Many people are satisfied with my guess.
Where is the masked singer who went to change?
Did he go home?
I think my friend went home because I figured out his identity.
- He will come in when I call him. - Really?
I was waiting for the right moment.
All right. Cute Piglet, please enter if you are ready.
Cute Piglet. Cute Piglet.
He in entering the stage with kkwaenggwari.
He hired two musicians with his own money.
For the first time in the history of the show,
a masked singer hired musicians with his own money.
Are you JTD?
- What? - JTD.
Are you Jo Tong Dal?
- JTD. - JTD.
- Let's hear it. - You wouldn't do that...
unless you have love for traditional music.
Seriously.
His mask makes him look like a boxer after 12 rounds.
He is Cute Piglet.
The Cute Piglet mask is inside. He wore another mask.
Cute Piglet will show a dance...
with kkwaenggwari.
Cute Piglet, show us.
(Hitting)
(The rhythm begins in a solemn manner.)
(Serious)
(It's strangely captivating.)
(All right.)
(Bouncing)
(It's the first samulnori specialty on King of Mask Singer.)
(Serious)
(He becomes one with the beat.)
(The music of Korea reaches its climax.)
(Let's have fun.)
(The beat of Korea makes people excited.)
(Thank you.)
(It was cool.)
He did a good job.
He did it with seriousness.
All right. Cute Piglet showed us his specialty.
Please go back in...
and change into your Cute Piglet outfit.
Please give him a big hand.
All right.
Do you still think he is your friend?
- He isn't my friend. - Are you erasing that idea?
There is no reason for my friend to do this.
Who is the friend you had in mind?
- I thought he was Sim Hyeon Seob. - Sim Hyeon Seob.
Since he overdid it earlier with "Love Song of Mr. Wang",
- I thought he was Sim Hyeon Seob. - Sim Hyeon Seob.
His specialty makes me think that he is Jo Tong Dal.
- Jo Tong Dal. - Jo Tong Dal...
originally majored in singing.
He has that husky voice.
But I couldn't see that here.
I don't think he is Jo Tong Dal.
Who is he then?
- I have no idea. - We're here to guess it.
- Gosh. - You said he's your friend.
He's not my friend.
Okay then. Let's wrap it up after hearing Kai's opinion.
I listened to their voices very carefully.
First, Donkey's voice was...
very surprising.
He has the voice of a singer...
with years of experience.
I guess he is a veteran singer...
with the voice that is perfect for singing rock and folk songs.
That's my guess.
- I see. - And we have Cute Piglet.
I thought he sounded like Rod McKuen.
Regardless of notes and rhythm,
his voice has this energy...
that makes people feel...
joy, anger, sorrow, and pleasure.
He's the master on stage.
I'd like to call him that.
All right, then.
Now, I will announce the result of the second match of Round One.
Which of them dyed your heart with love?
I'll now reveal the winner of this match.
(It's being unveiled now.)
Who will move on to Round Two?
(A warm reliable voice)
(A simple and honest voice)
(That's not all.)
(A pure voice that melts people's hearts)
(A deep and clear voice that lights up your ears)
(Donkey is a tender and emotional vocalist.)
Who is the second winner who will move on to Round Two?
The winner is...
Who is the winner?
The winner is...
(Gu Ra's best friend Cute Piglet?)
- Show us. - Who's the winner?
(The idol dancing machine, Donkey?)
Show us the result.
The winner is...
Donkey wins.
(Donkey Goes to Market wins.)
I knew it!
(Donkey is on his way to become the King of Mask Singer.)
Cute Piglet's performance was very impressive.
(It was cool, my friend.)
The score is 69 to 30.
With a final score of 69 to 30, Donkey wins.
Donkey, please return to your waiting room.
Please give him a round of applause.
Donkey moves on to Round Two.
(Gu Ra's attractive friend will reveal his identity soon.)
Please look forward to Round Two.
All right. Now it's time to reveal Cute Piglet's identity...
that had a great diversity of opinions.
Gu Ra, are you sure he's not Sim Hyeon Seob?
Now that I see the way he stands,
I don't think he's Jo Tong Dal.
I'm sure he's my friend, Sim Hyeon Seob.
- Sim Hyeon Seob? - Yes.
Are you sure that's him?
- Yes. That's him. - You won't change your opinion?
- No. - All right.
We will reveal his identity with a solo performance...
prepared for Round Two.
Please give him a big hand.
(His identity is being revealed soon.)
(It felt like my father was singing for me.)
(His voice made people get teary.)
(He sang the song with all sincerity.)
(They all guessed he would be very old.)
(But Gu Ra's guess tipped the scale. Is he really Sim Hyeon Seob?)
(His specialty was quite old-fashioned.)
(His friend just can't control himself.)
(Cute Piglet's identity is mysterious.)
(Who is it behind the mask?)
(The introduction sounds familiar.)
This is "A Mung-bean Pancake Gentleman".
"A Mung-bean Pancake Gentleman."
("A Mung-bean Pancake Gentleman" by Han Bok Nam)
(The song made a big hit with its interesting lyrics in 1943.)
(He just sang a touching and lyrical duet song.)
(But he's now being a humorous piglet.)
(Like a frolicking mischievous boy,)
(he sings in a playful and innocent voice.)
(Feeling excited)
(It's funny)
(Giggling)
(Cute Piglet gives people happy virus.)
(Instead of a golden brown mung-bean pancake,)
(the exciting melody adds zest to their dancing.)
(Like a bowl of makgeolli that blows your worries away,)
(his friendly voice sounds tasty.)
Now, Cute Piglet, please take off your mask...
and reveal your face.
(Shocked)
(Excited)
They are excited to see his face.
(Who on earth is Cute Piglet?)
(Hyeon Seob, let me see your face.)
Who is he?
(Is he Jo Tong Dal?)
He is...
great actor, Yang Taek Jo.
Yang Taek Jo?
(Yang Taek Jo?)
(Oh my goodness)
(Hello, Gu Ra?)
(They can't repress their astonishment.)
(Unbelievable)
(Goodness gracious!)
I can't believe this.
(Peek-a-boo)
(They can't believe what they're seeing.)
(It's a great performance by Gu Ra's best friend.)
(Are you watching me, Gu Ra?)
(He laughs out of embarrassment.)
(He shows a passionate performance forgetting all about his age.)
(Reaching for something)
(He has a remarkable ability to express himself as an actor.)
(Kicking)
(Chuckling)
(As a legendary scene-stealer,)
(he commands the stage.)
(He sings time with his dignified experiences.)
(It feels like they are on the night streets in Jongno.)
(The old good memories are ringing in our ears.)
(His simple and deep voice...)
(is as solid as his acting.)
(Yang Taek Jo's "A Mung-bean Pancake Gentleman" reminds us of old days.)
(His song brings back old memories.)
That was cool.
(That was cool.)
(Amazed)
It was amazing.
You must be Gu Ra's friend.
(Lowering his head)
Hello, my friend.
(I'm not worthy enough to be your friend.)
Please say hello to our viewers.
I'll turn 80 next year.
(I'll turn 80 next year.)
I'm Yang Taek Jo.
(He has acted for 52 years since his debut in 1966.)
(Including "You and I", "Countryside Life", and "Men of the Bath House",)
(he put on splendid acting in many popular dramas in the 90s.)
(He's also maintained his presence in a lot of films...)
(such as "The General's Son 2", "Two Cops", and "Le Grand Chef".)
(He has appeared in more than 100 dramas and movies.)
(He is a living legend in Korean drama and film industry.)
(He was the leading actor of his time...)
(who hit the top spot in the advertising world.)
(He remains active in dramas, movies, plays, and Korean musicals.)
(He's been a passionate actor for the past 50 years.)
(He is the great actor, Yang Taek Jo.)
You said he can't control himself.
He's just hale and hearty.
So you thought he was your friend.
(Gu Ra thought he was about Gu Ra's age.)
I thought he was my friend Hyeon Seob.
(He's vigorous and passionate.)
Taek Jo broke the record...
of the oldest guest...
in King of Mask Singer.
Kim Kook Hwan held the record...
- Kim Kook Hwan. - with his age of 69.
But he broke the record with his age of 79.
He did.
(He shows that age is just a number.)
He's amazing.
He decided to be here...
as his friend Choi Bool Am strongly recommended it.
Is that true?
We were shooting a drama in the provinces one day.
We drank and sang together there, and he suggested me to come here.
I see.
In fact, I wanted to sing a duet with him,
but he doesn't have a good ear for music.
- Bool Am doesn't? - Right.
Many people thought...
you were Gu Ra's friend.
- Your voice sounds young. - That's amazing.
I was told you are a big fan of King of Mask Singer.
To be honest, I didn't know much about K-pop music.
But things changed after I watched this program,
I even remember the episode number.
Maybe it was Episode 38 or something. I started to like it.
- Episode 38? - Then...
I watched KCM and Dana singing a duet.
Right. They did.
They melted my heart away.
But Catgirl...
- defeated them. - Right.
I was so disappointed.
I kept watching this program since then.
This is the only show I can enjoy.
That's why I watch it all the time.
Did you like what I said?
Many panelists here felt emotional...
because he reminded them of their fathers.
I loved the drama "You And I" so much.
(It was a huge hit in 1997.)
(His acting largely contributed to the popularity of the show.)
Just seeing him here makes me nervous.
I mean it. I am nervous.
Don't say that.
His singing was like organic food.
To those who are used to fancy techniques,
his singing might have sounded rather plain,
but everyone likes organic food.
Thank you for your amazing performance.
Hello, Yoo Young Seok.
We hope you will maintain your health...
- and continue to be with us. - Okay.
Good luck, Seong Ju.
Thank you.
- Thank you. - He gave us the endorphin rush...
with his cheerful energy. Please give it up once again...
for Yang Taek Jo.
(We will look forward to your great acting!)
I never thought...
(He went from a fan to a masked singer.)
I'd be able to come here.
Anyway, I had a lot of fun today.
Honestly, I was worried.
When it's someone people don't know well,
the audience doesn't scream even if he takes off his mask.
But when I took off my mask,
everyone shouted so loudly.
(The audience welcomed him as if they saw him just yesterday.)
That assured me that they still haven't forgotten me.
They recognized me.
Honestly, I felt so overwhelmed.
I enjoyed it immensely.
Gu Ra, I love you.
My friend.
It was nice seeing you.
This is the third match of Round One.
With her beautiful song, she will overcome her limits.
She's got the most beautiful voice in Gangwon Province.
You Are into Me, Bandabi.
(With my beautiful song, I will overcome my limits.)
(She looks very confident.)
(Welcome)
Pyeongchang.
Is she from Gangwon Province?
Contending her is...
Everyone, come and listen to my song.
I Am the Mascot of Pyeongchang.
Soohorang.
(Soohorang)
(He fearlessly walk towards the stage.)
(I am Soohorang.)
(Everyone's already in love with him.)
(He bravely appears with a cute face.)
He's cute.
He's confident.
Is he Su Ho of EXO?
(Is he Su Ho since his name is Soohorang?)
Isn't he taller?
I took a picture with him, and he's just slightly taller than me.
(Believe it or not.)
(Bandabi and Soohorang will be in charge of Pyeongchang's winter.)
(What kind of a harmony will they show us?)
("Photograph" by Kim Nam Joo and Yuk Seong Jae)
(Click)
(Soohorang's beautiful voice makes us smile.)
(Who could it be?)
(Her high-quality voice sounds amazingly lively.)
(Their harmony is very lovely.)
(Bandabi's voice is clear and refreshing.)
(Soohorang adds warmth to it.)
(Smile like me)
(Their performance makes us smile innocently.)
(It's so refreshing that it makes us forget about the summer heat.)
Good job.
(Just listening to them makes us feel happy.)
How can they be so good?
(It's so exciting.)
(Like capturing a precious moment with a camera,)
(her voice clearly captures the refreshing emotions.)
(Say cheese with me)
(Their duet is so amazing...)
(that we want to keep it forever.)
(As if it's Christmas in mid-summer,)
(they unexpectedly gift us happiness.)
(Bandabi and Soohorang overflow with vitality.)
(You are the only thing my eyes are focusing on.)
(Their harmony is undeniably lovely.)
(Let's smile like this for the rest of our lives)
(It's like a precious photograph you want to keep going back to.)
(Our happiness level went up.)
They are so fresh.
So refreshing.
The third match of Round One just finished.
Young Seok, tell us what you thought about it.
On Round One, two singers compete by singing a duet.
In English, they use "vs", the abbreviation for versus.
- Right. - That word is perfect for them.
Bandabi is...
like the alphabet V.
(Her singing was like the sharp V.)
Her singing was plain...
yet strong.
(It's the voice not many people can have.)
Soohorang...
is like the alphabet S.
His voice was rich..
and stylish.
I am certain that they are both singers.
They are both singers.
I think they are rather young.
They are young people.
They must be either idols now...
- or used-to-be idols. - Right.
I am certain that they are both teens.
- You mean they are 10. - What did he say?
- Teens. - What?
What did you say?
He meant teens.
I am sorry. I am so sorry.
- I think they are teen idols. - Teenagers.
- Yes. - Teenagers.
You startled us.
- And clearly, his voice is... - Soohorang.
the voice SM Entertainment loves.
He's got the voice SM Entertainment loves.
Yes. Hye Sung and Kangta...
both sing in a way...
Lee Soo Man likes.
- Is that right? - He's got that voice.
He's overflowing with confidence.
Wouldn't JYP like his voice?
JYP doesn't like that kind of a voice.
He likes voices that are airy.
- Right. JYP likes that. - Yes.
JYP likes voices that are very airy.
He was confident from the moment he was walking out.
I think he's an idol who's very active right now.
- I'm sure. - Is that right?
I think he will dance later as his specialty.
I see. What about Bandabi? Would SM like her voice?
She's not SM's kind of voice.
I heard JYP's kind of voice time to time.
He tends to include at least one pure voice...
in a group.
- A pure voice. - Yes.
Like Suzy. You know what I mean.
Suzy doesn't have a rough voice.
You think she has got a pure voice.
Thank you for your detailed explanation.
What do you think, Gu Ra?
I think she is an idol singer.
She is very tall and is wearing low heels.
I think she is a member of 9muses.
She is probably the best singer among them.
- I think he might be... - Soohorang.
- a member of Astro. - Astro.
- Astro. - They are doing well these days.
He could be a member of Astro.
So it was a match between the members of 9muses and Astro.
What do you think? Doesn't it sound right?
(Does Eli also think Soohorang is a member of Astro?)
I'm not sure if his group is Astro, but I think...
- he's the leader of his group. - Leader.
Yes, he was leading during the performance.
Are leaders different?
Yes, leaders know that they are good singers.
I know I'm not a good singer.
- You are the leader. - You know about yourself.
Let's check out their specialties now.
Joon said Soohorang had a voice that SM would like.
Soohorang is...
going to dance to "Growl".
Start the music please!
(How is he going to dance to SM's music?)
(Powerful)
(His moves are powerful yet restrained.)
(Impressed)
(He perfectly dances to "Growl".)
(Growl, growl)
(After aggressive dance moves,)
(he does some cute moves as well.)
(He's cute and powerful at the same time.)
(Soohorang is full of charms.)
(That was amazing.)
Amazing.
Joon, was it SM's dance moves?
- I'm sure. - Are you?
There are some typical dance moves like this.
We can't do something like that.
Soohorang has got some moves that Jin Young doesn't have.
Now, Bandabi is going to...
show us her real voice.
First, she will imitate a cheering baby.
Please show us the voice of a cheering baby.
You can do it.
- You can do it. - Thank you.
That was her real voice.
I think 11 of 12 panelists here...
- can do that. - I see.
- I see. - "You can do it."
- "You can do it." - Jin Mo, you can do it.
Jin Mo, would you like to try?
I don't think he can imitate a baby's voice.
Please try just once.
(He has been a music critic for 30 years.)
Please try just once.
You can do it.
(Jin Mo can do it as well.)
See? He's even better than her.
I see. I'm sure you can't do the next one.
Soohorang is going to show his flexibility...
through a certain posture.
Let's see what he's going to show us.
Show us your flexible body.
(He sits on the floor with his knees put together.)
He folded his legs.
And he lied on the floor. That's not an easy position.
Is that it?
(Yes, that's it.)
- That's a really hard position. - It's a hard position, right?
Yes.
It looks like a piece of cake.
- It was too easy for him. - It looked easy from here.
Why don't you try it, Gu Ra?
No, I can't.
(Gu Ra needs to prove if it's easy.)
I can't do that.
- It should be really hard. - Do it on the floor.
First, put your knees together on the floor.
Sit on the floor. That's it. Sit like that and...
put your back...
put your back on the floor now.
See?
- I can't do it. - I knew it.
- I knew it! - I can't do it.
- I knew you couldn't do it. - I can't even sit.
- I can't even sit. - He couldn't even sit.
All right.
Could you show us again?
- It's really difficult. - It is.
- I couldn't even sit down. - This way.
- There you go. - I couldn't even sit.
Just sitting is already hard.
(Lying down)
(One is way more flexible than the other.)
(Surprised)
- My goodness. - I couldn't even sit.
- It wasn't easy after all. - He is amazing.
You made such a difficult thing look so easy.
I couldn't even sit like that.
My ankles hurt a lot when I tried to sit like that.
(He apparently can't do it.)
(Giggling)
(Where does this frustration come from?)
My gosh, it hurts.
He couldn't lie down.
It's so difficult. Go away.
Give it a try. You probably can't do it.
Let's see if Yoon Seok can make it.
- I can't sit like that. - He looks surprised.
- Give it a try. - Yoon Seok, give it a try.
- It's about... - Yoon Seok.
- flexibility. - Lie down.
- Lie down. - You should lie down.
- He looks so fragile. - Lie down.
It doesn't work.
- He can't do it. - It doesn't work.
Lie down.
(He falls down.)
See? It doesn't work.
Out last chance, Joon!
Very good.
(He easily managed to sit with his knees put together.)
- Could you please hold me? - Do you think you can do it?
Hold him.
(He made it with some help.)
Joon did it. Joon did it.
Goodness.
- That's amazing. - Joon.
- You're amazing. - I couldn't stand up though.
Soohorang stood up by himself.
- I couldn't sit. - All right.
I just said, as a joke,
- he might be Su Ho. - Su Ho.
Considering the comments on him about SM and being the leader,
I believe he is Su Ho.
- You think he might be Su Ho. - Yes, Su Ho.
His nickname is Soohorang and he is Su Ho.
Exactly. And she must be Son Dam Bi.
- Son Dam Bi? - Yes.
Is she Son Dam Bi because her nickname is Bandabi?
What a simple reason.
- Isn't that too simple? - He thinks Bandabi is Son Dam Bi...
- and Soohorang is Su Ho. - Personally, I believe so.
It's something what I expect to hear from the minor opinions.
Now, I'm going to announce the result of the third match...
of Round One.
According to the result, it was a very close match.
One of them beat the other...
by five votes.
(Stirring)
Who do you think got five more votes?
Between Bandabi, who has a beautiful voice...
and Soohorang, who touches our hearts with the sentimental vibe,
I wonder who moved the audience's hearts.
Let's check out the result right now!
(She has a pure and clean voice.)
(Bandabi's clear voice is pleasant to listen to.)
(Soohorang's powerful voice was added to her voice.)
(Their sweet voices softly blend.)
Between Bandabi and Soohorang,
who is the winner who will move on to Round Two?
The winner is...
- It was only five votes. - I have no idea who won.
Is it a bear or a tiger?
Between two mascots of Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang,
who is the winner?
The winner is...
The winner is Bandabi!
(We fell in love with Bandabi!)
(It was hard to predict the result.)
(It's a shame because both of them were good singers.)
Bandabi beat Soohorang with the score of 52 to 47.
She beat him only by five votes...
and moved on to Round Two.
Bandabi, please return to your waiting room.
Please give her a round of applause.
Bandabi moves on to Round Two.
Are you ready to fall in love with me again on Round Two?
Let's go!
Let's check out who is behind Soohorang's mask...
by listening to his solo performance.
Please give him a round of applause!
(Is Soohorang currently an idol singer?)
(He's so skilled to be an idol singer.)
(He is charismatic like a leader.)
(He could perfectly manage a powerful dance as well.)
(He showed off his flexible body...)
(which frustrated two middle-aged men.)
(Who could he be?)
("You Wouldn't Answer My Calls" by 2AM)
("You Wouldn't Answer My Calls" is a sorrowful song.)
- I love it. - Right?
(It sounds even more sentimental than Round One.)
(Soohorang sings about a heartbroken man...)
(with a calm voice.)
(It's amazing.)
(He's great.)
(His performance doesn't rush us to feel the sadness.)
(He slowly expresses the sorrow...)
(which makes it sound even sadder.)
(You wouldn't answer my calls)
(You don't even want to see my face)
(No matter how hard I try)
(We can't go back anymore)
(The last thing I can try to change your mind)
(He is good.)
(Even if we became worse than strangers,)
(I'd like to say sorry for the last goodbye.)
(Until you listen to me)
(Who is this person with a touching voice?)
Now, Soohorang, please take off your mask...
and reveal your face.
(Goodness)
(Who is making them scream?)
- Who is he? - They are screaming.
- Who is he? - He is...
Please take off your mask and reveal your face.
He is...
Hwan Hee of UP10TION,
a group with impressive performances and singing skills.
(He was a member of UP10TION, the idol group.)
(As a member of the rising group, he is amazing.)
Sunyoul is also a member of UP10TION.
He was UP10TION too.
The one who sang So Chan Hwee's song.
(I'm Hwan Hee of UP10TION and I'm proudly here all alone.)
(They are smiling broadly to see Hwan Hee.)
(He's so cute.)
(It's hard to believe that he is only 20 years old...)
(because he delivers deep and mature emotions.)
(He is great.)
He is really good.
(Touched)
(Though he is young, he knows how to control the dynamics of the song.)
(His emotions are gradually getting explosive.)
(He is showing a totally different side from just one minute ago.)
(Piercing and ardent)
(Would you listen to this song?)
("You Wouldn't Answer my Calls" by Hwan Hee is so heartrending.)
Hwan Hee of UP10TION!
- He is an excellent singer. - Why did he lose the match?
Please say hello to our viewers.
Hello. I'm Hwan Hee, the main vocalist of UP10TION.
(He debuted as a member of UP10TION in 2015.)
(Hwan Hee is outstanding as a main vocalist.)
(Rough and firm voice)
(He is a charismatic tough guy.)
(He can captivate girls just by his hand gestures.)
(He is also tender and sensitive.)
(His voice is as sweet as his smiling eyes.)
(Hwan Hee is a sweet vocalist with a lot of charms.)
He was born in 1998.
Are you the leader of your team?
No, I'm not the leader. I'm the youngest.
- You're the youngest, right? - Yes.
But considering your confidence...
and charisma,
many people thought you were the leader of the team.
- Were you not nervous? - I was totally nervous.
- You were? - Yes.
(Scratching)
He seems to be the youngest without the mask.
Doesn't he look like the youngest?
Yes. I was right. I said he was a teenager.
- He is a teenager. - That's right.
Last time, among the members of UP10TION,
- Sunyoul was here. - You're right.
- We were shocked by him. - He was dressed like a woman.
(He was Uhwudong, challenged "Tears" which is hard...)
(even for female singers, and he did a pretty good job.)
(The moment they found there was Sunyoul behind the mask,)
(all the panelists got shocked.)
(Thanks to that, they can never forget the group, UP10TION.)
This time, the youngest came here.
Hwan Hee.
You said you wanted to show...
the presence of yourself as Hwan Hee of UP10TION...
through your performances today.
When Sunyoul was here last time,
he did a great job.
So even if there are two main vocalists in our group,
many people think there is only one.
That's why I came here.
You wanted to show, "I'm also the main vocalist", right?
(Good decision)
When I listened to him hit the high notes,
I can notice the subtle vibrato...
like that of Im Byung Soo when he was at his prime.
(In the 80s, Im Byung Soo was...)
(famous for his unique vibrato.)
He is really similar to Byung Soo.
(He is really similar to Byung Soo.)
I really enjoyed the song.
Kai, what do you think...
of Hwan Hee's voice?
He said he wanted to show his presence...
for sure today.
But I don't think you need to.
It's not something you can make, it's formed naturally.
If you just keep singing with these great singing skills,
I bet we can't help but acknowledge Hwan Hee...
of UP10TION pretty soon.
You have such great talents.
I really enjoyed your song.
(Thank you.)
(We enjoyed listening to your song too.)
I can't believe he is still 20 years old.
With his mature voice, he not only promoted his group UP10TION...
but also himself for sure.
Please give him a big hand.
Thank you.
(We hope you'll be an even better singer in the future.)
Thank you.
I'm slightly disappointed,
but I want to be satisfied because I had a chance to perform.
Thank you.
Because I debuted as a member of an idol group,
I didn't have a lot of chance to sing alone.
Even my parents couldn't see me...
sing alone on a TV show.
I wanted to show it to them too.
"Hwan Hee, a member of UP10TION..."
"can sing."
Maybe, "He is quite good."
I'd be really happy if you think so.
Bandabi, keep up the good work until you become the queen.
Go!
You really have to win. I'm serious.
Bandabi defeated Hwan Hee...
and moved on to Round Two.
The last match of Round One.
As soon as we listen to her songs, we can't forget them.
Top student in singing. Good Job...
Model Student, Young Hee.
(Good Job Model Student, Young Hee)
Hide well, I can see the throne
Here goes Young Hee!
(She looks like a good student.)
(So cute)
She looks confident.
She's carrying an old-fashioned bag.
She is tall too.
Young Hee is supposed to be small, isn't she?
Against her is...
the one who has a desirable voice.
Cheol Soo, let's play.
Class President, Kim Cheol Soo
(Class President, Kim Cheol Soo)
Let's play, guys.
I'll sing for you.
(Striding)
(No)
(Marching forward)
(Excuse me.)
I knew he would do that.
(Young Hee and Cheol Soo are characters in Korean textbooks.)
(But the two soulmates will be rivals today.)
(What kind of a show will they put on?)
("Everything was You" by Noel)
Noel.
I like it a lot.
(He tells a story with his moist and soft voice.)
(My goodness.)
(He sings calmly, yet we get absorbed.)
My gosh.
(My heart...)
(Her voice sounds even more sorrowful.)
(Incredible)
(She delivers her sorrow delicately.)
(His profound voice is tender yet powerful.)
(How could I forget you)
(The time when you're not with me)
(Her voice with subtle sensibility fills the emptiness.)
(The two masters' song is also that of soulmates.)
Whose voice is that?
(I love it!)
(It's just you whom I lost.)
(His emotions grow as deep as one's longing for someone.)
(Her voice reminds you of your past love.)
(She delivers her emotions until the last note.)
(He sings with his sorrowful emotions calmly.)
(The heartbreaking love touches the listeners' hearts.)
(Their sorrowful harmony fills up the entire song.)
(I'll try to forget the place where you used to be.)
(The climax of their emotions penetrates our hearts.)
(It's just so good.)
(It's a perfect duet that conveys how sad it is after a breakup.)
- What's going on? - They're so good.
(The emotions linger in their minds.)
Even their low voices sound so nice.
I love their masks now that I love their singing.
- I have no idea who they are. - Right?
The last match of Round One has ended.
Hyun Chul, please tell us what you think.
I'll comment about Cheol Soo first.
He's excellent in pronouncing.
I think he's either a performer or an actor.
Even the way he's standing right now is straight.
It's as if he's always on his toes.
I can tell by his posture.
I wondered who it'd be with that posture.
Park Bo Gum...
Park Bo Gum?
Is he Park Bo Gum?
That's a no.
I mean the way he's standing is similar to Bo Gum's.
Bo Gum's shoulders are like that too.
Bo Gum once wanted to be a singer.
Right, he majors in musical theater.
- Right. - I see.
There's this kind of stories in movies often.
For example, a culprit kills a boy's parents.
The boy hides in the closet...
and sees the culprit.
He finds that there's a tattoo on the culprit's nape.
Later, it becomes an important clue...
- to find the culprit. - I see.
A while ago, I saw him with the mask on...
and followed him.
There's a huge mole on his ear.
- He has a mole on his ear? - You followed him?
- Yes. - You saw a clue.
- Yes, I saw a clue. - I see.
- He has a mole here. - Really?
He has it, right? No, not on that side.
- It's the other side? - Yes, check it.
The other side...
He doesn't...
(Wait a second.)
Maybe it was a fly.
I guess it was Soohorang.
(Chuckling)
- It must've been Soohorang. - I guess.
He doesn't have a mole?
- He does! - It's on this side.
(Do you want to take a look again?)
I think it's the tape attached to fix the wire.
Can you check if Soohorang has a mole or not?
(Embarrassed)
Hyun Chul, please continue.
About Young Hee, I didn't know when she sang low notes,
but as soon as she started singing in middle tone,
I could tell she was using a limiter.
What's a limiter?
It's a skill that enables you...
to maintain the same volume regardless of the notes you sing.
I see.
Not many singers are capable of using that skill.
- She knows how to. - Goodness.
Thus, the higher notes she sings,
the more compressed and stable her voice gets.
(Her vocalization sounds stable even if she sings high notes.)
I think she has performed on stages many times.
I think she has performed her own stages...
that are much bigger than this one.
What do you think, Young Seok?
Even men would want to protect Cheol Soo...
if they listened to his voice.
His voice is really smooth.
It's as if he applied foundation on his voice.
Especially, his pronunciation is refined.
It sounds too natural at some point,
but I completely fell for it in the beginning.
It was attractive enough.
About Young Hee...
I think she'll become the queen.
- Do you think she's competitive? - Yes.
Her voice is very stable even when she sings...
explosively high.
Her voice is perfectly clear.
I think she's the highlight of the day.
(She is the one to watch.)
- I agree. - Is that so?
Baby Sea Horse, please watch out for Young Hee.
Beware of Young Hee.
It's over!
(Happy)
Let's go home.
I'll go home and eat plankton.
Young Hee's mask tells...
she'll become a new queen.
Hold on.
Her mask looks like that of a queen.
Those kinds of masks are very favorable.
The longer people see it, the more they'll get attached to it.
On top of that, her singing skills are incredible.
In my opinion, Cheol Soo's mask...
does feel like that of a king too.
No, its eyes are a bit small.
Those eyes have to be bigger.
It's favorable indeed,
- but it's not enough to be the one. - Don't you think...
it doesn't make sense to read their masks?
What about that mole you talked about?
- That was such a waste of time. - You tried to guess with a mole.
Please go check Soohorang.
- I'm sure I saw it. - Does he have a mole?
Let's hear from Jin Mo.
I can think of one difference between them.
In the chorus, Cheol Soo exploded his emotions.
On the other hand, Young Hee controlled her flowing emotions.
Especially, I think Young Hee is a teacher.
- A teacher? - A vocal trainer.
(Is Young Hee good enough to teach others?)
I think she's at a level to teach others.
Because she controls even the small notes so well.
Anyway, I loved the duet of you two.
All right, let's check out their other talents this time.
Cheol Soo will go first.
I hear he's great in mimicking other people.
First is the baseball player, Lee Seung Yuop.
In this season,
I've been swinging well.
It's going well for me.
That's it.
It sounded almost the same.
This time, he'll mimic a voice actor.
A voice actor with a buttery voice.
Please go ahead.
Young Hee.
I just found out that you're so beautiful...
looking at you under the stars.
All right!
(He's good.)
(He vocalizes almost like a voice actor.)
It's Young Hee's turn now.
She'll show you how she speaks in dialects.
First off, she'll express her dislike...
in certain situations.
In Seoul dialect,
it's, "I don't like it!"
How will it change in Gyeongsang dialect?
I don't like it.
What again?
- I don't like it. - All right.
- "I don't like it." - All right.
When you hate it more, what do you say?
Shall I slap you hard?
This time, it's a driving situation.
When someone honks from behind,
what do you say in Chungcheong dialect?
Why didn't you set off yesterday?
The panelists are familiar with her voice.
It's Cheol Soo's turn again.
- He's great at juggling. - Oh, juggling.
He'll juggle 2 items with 1 hand.
2 items with 1 hand.
(Juggling)
It's three items now.
(Juggling with his tiny eyes)
It's hard to juggle...
with a mask on.
- Great. - He did it with his mask on.
- Isn't it great? - Nice.
This time, he'll show off his dance moves.
He'll do a shuffle dance which was famous in 80s to 90s.
Music, please.
He's getting warmed up.
It was hot in 80s to 90s.
(Making steps)
Dancing to the rhythm.
(He brings back the old days with his heels.)
(Here it comes.)
Let's go.
(Shuffle)
"I'm Park Bo Gum!"
(Cheol Soo's night club)
(I'm going to own the dance floor.)
He's good. He's good at bouncing to the rhythm.
This is it.
(Excited)
Shuffle.
All right.
Good job.
I think he's Kim Seung Soo,
the idol of middle-aged women.
He's similar to Kim Seung Soo.
His shoulders are a bit like his.
(Ascended shoulders?)
What do you think?
(Silence)
- No one responded. - Kim Seung Soo.
He feels like Kim Seung Soo.
Now, I will announce the result of the final match of Round One.
Between Young Hee and Cheol Soo,
who will be the final winner of Round One?
Let's find out now.
(Her soft voice fills up the stage.)
(Young Hee sings with an ardent voice.)
(A straight and solid voice)
(Cheol Soo sings with all his heart.)
The textbook of the male and female duet,
Young Hee and Cheol Soo.
Who will be the winner of this match between these two?
The winner is...
(Everyone nervously awaits for the result.)
The winner is...
(Will it be Young Hee, a smart girl on the straight and narrow?)
(Or will it be Cheol Soo, the witty leader?)
(I'm too nervous to see the result.)
The winner is...
Let's find out the last singer who will move on to Round Two.
Between Young Hee and Cheol Soo, who will be the winner?
The winner is...
Young Hee won.
It's Young Hee!
(Young Hee rules all.)
- It's Young Hee! - Young Hee!
Cheol Soo did well too.
Young Hee is the winner.
The score is 61 to 38.
Young Hee defeated him...
with a score of 61 to 38.
Please go back to your waiting room.
Please give her a big round of applause.
Young Hee moves on to Round Two.
I will sing more bravely on Round Two.
Go, Young Hee!
Now, we're going to find out who Cheol Soo is.
Who could he be?
Let's watch his solo performance...
and reveal his identity.
Please give him a big hand.
(Is he an actor with great pronunciation?)
(He has a soft voice and many talents.)
(Is he Park Bo Gum, who resembles the mask?)
(Is he Kim Seung Soo, the prince among middle-aged women?)
("Love, the Common Word" by Kim Yeon Woo)
It's "Love, the Common Word".
My gosh.
("Love, the Common Word", a song about the regrets of love)
(Amazed)
(He carefully sings with a soft voice.)
He must be a singer.
(Cheol Soo's ardent confession...)
(makes everyone listen quietly.)
(I love it.)
(I'm sure he's a singer.)
(His warm and stable voice...)
(sounds delicate and sorrowful.)
(I love his voice.)
(Cheol Soo sings with all his heart...)
(hoping it would reach the woman he loves.)
("I love you", the words he'd like to say to her)
(His quiet but strong voice sounds passionate.)
(His sincere hope breaks everyone's hearts.)
(Cheol Soo has a sad voice that makes you emotional.)
(Who are you?)
Now, Cheol Soo, please take off your mask...
and reveal your face.
(Screaming)
(Oh, my gosh.)
He is...
The female audience are so happy to see him.
- He is... - Is he handsome?
Reveal your face.
He is...
Kim Seung Soo,
the Park Bo Gum among middle-aged women.
It's Kim Seung Soo.
Kim Seung Soo.
(It's him!)
Gosh, I was right!
(Surprised)
(Gu Ra recognized his voice.)
Hey.
I got lucky.
- You were right. - I got lucky.
See? It's Seung Soo.
(He's making a big fuss about it.)
(He's a heartthrob.)
(Cheol Soo was Kim Seung Soo, the actor.)
(It's hard to imagine him singing.)
(He's the best.)
(Just like the protagonist of a romantic drama,)
(he has a soft voice that makes everyone feel good.)
(He's handsome.)
(His amazing singing ability broke everyone's bias.)
This is unexpected. He's such a good singer.
(Today, he's not someone in the drama.)
(He sings on stage with his true voice.)
(He's a talented man...)
(who shows not only delicate acting but also delicate singing.)
(Gu Ra is still excited.)
Thank you.
("Love, the Common Word" ardently sung by Kim Seung Soo)
(I was right.)
He could be a singer.
He's such a great singer.
- He's amazing. - He really is.
He is the star, and Park Bo Gum among middle-aged women.
It was Kim Seung Soo, the actor. Please say hello to the viewers.
Hello, I'm actor Kim Seung Soo. It's good to see you.
(He debuted as an actor of MBC in 1997.)
(He's a great actor who makes the viewers laugh and cry...)
(with a broad range of acting.)
(As he played nice characters on various shows,)
(he became the prince of TV dramas.)
(He even won the best actor award on MBC.)
(He's now actively engaged in variety shows as well.)
(Kim Seung Soo, the actor who never lets you down)
Gu Ra sounded very unsure...
when he mentioned Seung Soo's name. He said it wasn't certain.
This is why you have to be humble.
I humbly took a guess, and it worked.
Also, he actually has a mole on this side of the neck.
See? I knew it.
But after Gu Ra noticed it,
he covered his mole.
I put tape on this side,
and on this side as well. I pretended it was because of...
the earphone.
That's why.
Why were you such a stalker?
You should've been subtle.
- All right. - Goodness.
Hyun Chul said he thought you were Park Bo Gum.
How did you feel?
I was thankful and embarrassed at the same time.
I actually ran into Hyun Chul in the restroom.
Really? Were you wearing the mask?
Yes. Joon was there too.
- You were all in the restroom. - Yes.
I was using the urinal trying to hide myself,
but Joon said,
(What did Joon say?)
I can't tell who you are by looking at it, so relax.
(Joon's consideration for him caused a disaster.)
(He's the most considerate guy of the day.)
My goodness.
Thanks to him, I could relax.
For goodness' sake.
Joon, how did you like his performance?
I loved it. Like I said before,
he has a voice that makes people focus.
It's the same with instruments. You want to listen...
to an instrument that makes the good sound.
He has a voice like a nice musical instrument.
As for what happened in the restroom...
You know. I am sorry.
(It's okay.)
He has always been showing us his gentleman side.
Today, Kim Seung Soo became an approachable man...
and sang beautifully for us.
Please give him a big hand.
Thank you. Thank you.
(We look forward to seeing more sides of you.)
I had a lot of fun.
It makes me relieved.
I want to go home and watch TV.
I have never shown this side of me.
I have never danced, juggled,
or shown a specialty like a voice impression before.
I thought that...
people will never guess my identity if I do those things.
I was curious too.
Like an elementary school student named Cheol Soo,
I opened up my heart and did my best.
Cheol Soo will go home now.
(Coming up, "Semobang")
Next week.
(A close match between the best voices)
(Which masked singer made Kai sing explosively?)
(She is on fire.)
(From specialties that make people curious about their identities...)
(to the result of the closest match)
(They will be revealed next week.)
