Previously.
We met some of the most unique singers,
and were surprised to see some familiar faces.
But it's not over just yet.
The four talented mask singers will reveal their true talents.
Young Smart Smurf.
Excited Ray.
Bali Girl from Onyang, Ulju.
Calories Don't Matter, MC Hamburger.
And there is...
the singer with a glorious voice that penetrates our hearts.
Proving the class of the Queen of Mask Singer,
she made history by winning six consecutive times.
She's the 58th Queen of Mask Singer, Spirited Lady on the Ninth Rank.
- They've reached the top. - The masters have met.
(The flashy show has been commenced.)
She will be the first Queen of Mask Singer to aim for the 7th win.
It's the beginning of history.
Will they take the throne? Or will the Queen keep her throne?
It starts right now.
(King of Mask Singer)
It's the first match of Round Two.
This singer beat the singer Jang Jae In in the last round.
It's gotten dyed in blue
He stirred us up with his voice.
Young Smart Smurf.
(Young Smart Smurf)
(He goes to work while being cheered by Smurfettes.)
(Hello)
(We will root for you!)
(Bravo!)
I think he's a young guy.
I feel his energy.
I am curious who he is.
Isn't his posture very nice?
- Doesn't he look like an actor? - He looks like an actor.
(His voice is loud and refreshing.)
(He is a singer with the refreshing feeling of summer.)
(His gestures hint that he might be older.)
(But his voice is very young.)
(Is he a great singer?)
(Or is he an actor who sings well?)
(My heart aches)
(He sings as well as Anpan Prince.)
(He's funny too.)
(He's the singer with a refreshing voice.)
(He's excited.)
(To get a step closer to becoming the King of Mask Singer,)
(what did he ambitiously prepare to sing on Round Two?)
("Love Again" by Lim Chang Jung)
I love it.
(How will Smurf sing "Love Again"?)
(He's ready to listen.)
(His delicate voice gently approaches and touches our ears.)
(His voice is sincere and calm.)
(His voice is mellower than when he sang a duet.)
(At the beginning of new love, he reminisces his past love.)
(It slowly gets emotional as scattered lights come together.)
(Excited)
(His sorrowful voice echoes.)
(Although it might just end up being a brief encounter,)
(the love begins again,)
(believing that it'll be the last one.)
Awesome!
His voice sounds different than it did in Round One.
(Everyone is engrossed in his emotional singing.)
(Despite the fear of another failure,)
(he plucks up his courage.)
(Smurf expresses all his regrets.)
(Thank you for...)
(all the expressions.)
(I love again today)
(Love always comes as if it's the first love.)
(He truly wishes it's his last love this time.)
(This is amazing.)
(I love it.)
I thought this was Round Three for a moment.
(His performance was as great as one from Final Rounds.)
That was awesome!
(Smurf's "Love Again" makes us believe in love again.)
He's a really great singer.
I loved it.
It's a difficult song though. Right?
That was charming. So charming.
I have no idea who he could be.
Here comes his opponent. He beat Bobby of iKON.
His fresh voice swims all over the world.
The ray is excited!
Excited Ray.
(Excited Ray rushes out to Round Two.)
(The audience is excited to see Ray.)
Excited Ray!
We have no clue who he is.
He's so mysterious.
(He has a wild, sweet voice.)
(His emotion is touching.)
(He has a sentimental voice.)
(His voice is like a combination of an action and a romance movie.)
(Is he a senior singer?)
(He sings like Min Kyung Hoon.)
(He's not a funny person.)
(He is sloppy.)
(Who is this charming man?)
(Ray has already been recognized as a King material.)
(He drew everyone's attention.)
(What has he prepared...)
(to beat Smurf?)
("Travel to Me" by Buzz)
I know this song.
It's "Travel to Me".
(Surprised)
(His voice is as refreshing as blue ocean...)
(that would dampen even a desert.)
(He has an attractive voice that is wild, yet sweet.)
(Anyone would want to go travel with his voice.)
(The sun will always be beside me.)
(His resonant voice relieves all the stress.)
My goodness. He's good.
(Let's go on a trip with Ray.)
(He hits the high notes with a powerful voice.)
(Everyone fell in love with his charms.)
(His cheerful energy would even cool the sun down.)
(He's a great singer.)
(He has an expressive and attractive voice.)
(His performance is like a trip that relieves all the stress.)
(It's a refreshing summer song.)
(I'm so excited!)
(His voice is like a nice present...)
(to those who are exhausted from the sweltering heat.)
(He vigorously sings the high notes as if he surfs on waves.)
("Travel to Me" encourages us to take off to somewhere.)
Bravo!
Awesome!
He's so great.
That was amazing. That was really amazing.
I wonder who he is.
Who could he be?
The first match of...
Round Two is now over.
I'd like to hear Young Seok's opinion first.
Ray's voice is as majestic as a mountain.
He sang refreshingly like the ocean.
I felt like I was on a speedboat...
- cleaving through the water. - I see.
(He has a refreshing voice.)
His singing style makes me think...
he might be from a band...
of late 90s and early 2000s.
Smurf seemed a bit nervous when he sang the first verse.
His trembling voice rather emphasized the sorrow.
I think he is young.
I think he might be younger than Ray.
How much younger do you think he is than Ray?
(Spaced out)
We're now on Round Two. You'd better say things more in detail.
About 13 years and 7 months.
13 years and 7 months.
What a wise answer to the silly question.
I'd like to talk about Smurf first.
Many singers have bad habits.
But he doesn't have any. He sings with a clear voice.
He sings like a person who mastered the basics.
Actually, Chang Jung performed this song...
after he went through a lot.
The song itself is sad,
but he made the most of it.
I think he's young,
but has been through a lot.
What do you mean by, "a lot"?
He's just a blue Smurf now,
but he's dark inside.
If he's a real Smurf,
he was almost swallowed by Gargamel.
(After being chased,)
(he was caught by his enemy.)
(He might have been through a lot.)
The hardship he went through is dissolved in his song.
- That's what I feel. - I see.
Talking about Ray, flat fish move around...
right above the bottom...
- of the sea. - Right. They're near the bottom.
It was as if he were swimming...
right above the musical notes.
His voice sounded very stable like that.
(His singing sounds stable.)
I thought he was a ray, but after his song, I realized he was a skate.
He turned out to be very attractive.
Okay. What's your opinion, Kai?
Smurf has...
such a tender voice.
So I wanted to pat him on his back and say it's okay.
(The voice that makes us to want to comfort him)
His song was touching.
- What about Ray? - It's like Ray's voice...
smears in our ears so smoothly.
His voice is savory and moist.
So I think he also did a variety of performances...
for a long time.
Personally, I think...
- he sang in the early 90s. - In the early 90s.
- That's my guess. - No. In the early 90s,
there was no one as good as him.
Aren't you speaking too conclusively?
In the 90s, along with the 80s,
Korean ballad and rock was about to bloom.
In the 90s, there were singers like Shin Seung Hun,
Lee Seung Hwan, and Kim Hyun Chul.
It was the golden age of music, but...
- Seung Hun and Seung Hwan... - Excuse me.
Well... What I mean is...
I think the 90s were the golden age of music.
He is a rocker.
- I was talking about rock. - He was.
- When it comes to rock? - Yes. I broke out in a cold sweat.
I think Smurf is...
an idol singer who is also really good at dancing.
Young Ran seems to absolutely agree with you.
- He is... - Do you agree with her?
"Right. It's Kangta." She says something like that.
- Doesn't he sound like Kangta? - "Right. Kangta."
(She was sure it's Kangta.)
(It's not Kangta.)
He sounded a little like Shin Hye Sung or Kangta.
- The first generation idol stars? - Yes.
She has many embarrassing opinions that I can't introduce them.
- Okay. - Just focus on her reactions.
I think it's better.
It's time to see their specialties.
First, Ray says he is good...
at voice imitation of animals.
First, he'll make the sound of a chicken.
(Cock-a-doodle-doo)
He is good.
- Okay. - He is good.
He must have raised chickens at home.
Really?
(Laughing)
It's the sound of a pig now.
Please make the sound.
(Oink oink)
(Screeching)
(It sounds the same.)
He's good at mimicking a pig.
(He is good at mimicking the sounds of domestic animals.)
Young Smart Smurf will also...
make the sounds of animals.
It's a chicken that is laying an egg.
Please start.
(Quack)
(Screeching)
(Laying an egg)
That was it.
(He succeeded in laying an egg and made people laugh.)
- I think he is young. - He is.
Now, it's the sound of an elephant that sprinkles water.
Please start.
No. Wait, wait.
(His real voice is revealed.)
(Who is it?)
The sound of an elephant that sprinkles water.
(Trumpeting)
That was it.
(It sounds the same.)
Ray made the sounds of livestock.
But Smurf is much younger,
he mimicked the animals he might have seen in the zoo.
- That sounds reasonable. - Yes. He is young.
Now he'll show you a boy group dance.
(Smurf's dance time)
Music please.
("Pom Saeng Pom Sa" by Sechs Kies)
(It's a cool jumping dance.)
It's the song by Sechs Kies.
It's "Pom Saeng Pom Sa".
(Dancing hard)
(Looking powerful)
(I'm the seventh blue crystal today.)
(He finishes off in a stylish fashion.)
(Good job.)
He danced to Sechs Kies's song.
- Is it Shin Hye Sung? - It's not.
- Isn't it? - No way.
Chae Young, you said Smurf looked like an idol singer last week.
- Yes. - What do you think today?
I don't know.
After watching his dance, you think he might not be an idol star.
Yes.
He looked a little heavy when he was dancing.
Because of that... But if you're an idol star, I'm sorry.
(It's okay.)
Now. Ray says he is good...
at doing hula hoops.
Music please.
(It's time to have fun with hula hoops.)
He is flexible.
His body became one with the hula hoop.
(Surprised)
Can he do it with his neck too?
(He may break his neck while doing that.)
You should know how to feel the rhythm.
(He seems to be headbanging with the hoop.)
Neck is enough. Now, do it with these.
He'll use pink hula hoops this time.
(It's easy for him.)
(But he can't do two at once.)
(The hoop gets launched like a rocket.)
(Gosh, my hula hoop.)
(My goodness.)
My goodness.
(He brings them back.)
He is not that meticulous.
(He looks sloppy.)
(He is cute.)
One person came to my mind.
- Really? - But I don't know about the 90s.
Okay. So who is it?
It's Hong Kyung Min.
(He has a harsh, powerful, and husky voice.)
(Kyung Min's voice sounds appealing.)
(Is Ray Hong Kyung Min?)
- No, it's not him. - Isn't it?
No.
I don't know very much.
- It's okay. - Let's leave the door open.
It's okay, but he's not the one.
- Is he Park Wan Kyu? - Park Wan Kyu?
- Park Wan Kyu? - Park Wan Kyu?
- Park Wan Kyu? - Don't you watch TV?
- You said Wan Kyu? - Gosh.
- Not at all. - Since she has a baby,
she said she only watches children's shows.
- Because of her baby. - So she doesn't know very well.
Park Wan Kyu.
Young Ran asked, "Do you want to know who he is?"
So I asked, "Who is he?"
She said, "It's Kim Jong Seo."
- He sounds like Kim Jong Seo too. - Kim Jong Seo?
(She sticks with the extreme minority opinion.)
She mentioned Park Wan Kyu and Kim Jong Seo.
Okay, now. I'll announce the result...
of the first match of Round Two.
Between Smurf with a voice that makes you fall in love...
and Ray with a voice that makes you want to go on a trip with him,
who will be the winner of this match?
(A sweet and tender voice)
(You want to fall in love again after listening to him.)
(He touches people's hearts with his appealing voice.)
(Smart Smurf is smart with his voice.)
(Cheerful rhythm...)
(and a powerful voice)
(His refreshing sound invited people to the trip to music.)
(Ray is a vocalist who knows how to have fun.)
The winner who will move on...
to Round Three is...
- The winner is... - The winner is...
They must be nervous.
(People who are watching...)
(also get nervous at this moment.)
Who is the one to move on...
to Final Round?
(Excited Ray wins.)
It's Excited Ray.
(Ray will move on to Round Three.)
(Smurf should sadly go back to his mushroom house.)
- It's Ray. - I knew it.
(The powerful vocalist is given a chance to sing once more.)
(Astonished)
Excited Ray wins.
Ray defeated Smurf...
with 58 to 41. Please go back to your waiting room quickly.
Please give him a round of applause.
(The identity of Smurf will be revealed soon.)
Ray wins the match.
I'll move on to Round Three.
I'm so excited to go.
The major point is if he is an idol star or not.
It was so controversial.
Please move backwards and get ready to take off your mask.
I've seen someone who laughs like this somewhere.
Young Smart Smurf, please take off your mask...
and show your face.
(A great vocalist who knows the basics very well)
(Though he is young,)
(he seems to have gone through a lot of hardship.)
(A young, yet seasoned singer)
(Is he an idol singer who is also good at dancing?)
(He prepared a dance.)
(He tried so hard while dancing,)
(but his body looked heavy.)
(Who is Smurf who completely disguised himself?)
Please reveal your face.
Who is he?
(My gosh.)
(Incredible)
Why, why?
Who is it?
Who is it? What's going on?
Is he famous? Is he?
He is...
Soo Hyun, the leader of U-Kiss.
(The main vocalist, Soo Hyun)
(Screaming)
I got it right, didn't I?
- What's going on? - I should've said that.
Did you get it right?
I got goosebumps.
What's the matter?
Young Ran got it right.
- Did she? - Yes.
She kept saying nonsense, so I ignored her.
Then she said Soo Hyun of U-Kiss and I said, "That's not that bad."
- You got it right. - I did.
Why didn't you say that?
- I'm the witness. - Isn't that right? I got it right.
- I was right. - You were.
- Did she really say Soo Hyun? - Yes, she did.
(What?)
What about Soo Hyun of U-Kiss?
- What do you think? - It's better than other guesses.
(She's proud that Gu Ra said it's better than her previous guesses.)
(I should have said it loudly.)
- Please say hello to the viewers. - She was right.
Hello, it's been a long time. I'm Soo Hyun, the leader of U-Kiss.
(He debuted as a member of U-Kiss in 2008.)
(They quickly became popular with "Man Man Ha Ni".)
(Soo Hyun's soft voice was hidden behind their intense performance.)
(He actually has a sweet and emotional voice.)
(He's a charming vocalist who has many fans...)
(in Japan, Taiwan, South America, and Southeast Asia.)
(They won many awards as a global star...)
(and led the Korean wave.)
(Soo Hyun released a solo album with a more mature voice.)
(He gained reputation as an idol with a great singing ability.)
(Soo Hyun, a great vocalist who has a bright future)
Young Ran is amazing.
She kept saying she thinks Excited Ray is Kim Jong Seo,
so we've been ignoring her opinion.
- He really might be Kim Jong Seo. - My gosh.
It might be him.
- I'm serious. - How do you know Soo Hyun?
On a holiday special show,
he and I kissed on the lips.
He and I go way back.
- Did you really? - And his physique...
(They were a team on a TV show.)
(Proud)
(They parodied "Secret Garden".)
(Young Ran gave Soo Hyun a kiss on the lips.)
Gosh, it was really him.
- Now, "Man Man Ha Ni" by U-Kiss. - Yes.
It was very popular,
but I heard that you think the song actually caused...
U-Kiss to have an image of a group that can't sing.
Yes. I'm grateful that a lot of people remember that song...
as our big hit,
but we've actually released 6 or 7 albums afterwards.
Not a lot of people know that. I was really sad about it.
Also, many songs were auto-tuned back then.
"Man Man Ha Ni" was one of them,
and many people said we were a group of guys who can't sing.
I suppose it created a bias among people.
It's already been 10 years since U-Kiss debuted.
I heard there are people who think U-Kiss is disbanded.
Many people ask me if we're disbanded.
Some people even say we're wasting the money Lim Chang Jung makes.
It breaks my heart.
We've been working hard abroad...
and letting the world know that K-Pop is a great...
genre of music.
You have a huge fan base in Japan.
I doubt that...
there are many people who think U-Kiss is disbanded.
It seems like it gave Soo Hyun a hard time.
His performance today...
made me realize that he is a great singer.
An important thing about music is...
how deeply the singer touches people's hearts with it.
Sometimes, music breaks our hearts.
Soo Hyun's song today touched people's hearts.
There wasn't anything missing or excessive.
He has a voice which is perfect for singing...
the authentic ballad. I was really surprised.
Thank you for a great stage.
Thank you.
Today, he showed off his sweet voice and his potential...
as an idol singer with 10 years of experience.
It was Soo Hyun of U-Kiss.
Please give him a big round of applause.
Go, Soo Hyun!
I was so nervous.
(Goodness)
The owner of my favorite restaurant.
When this show airs on TV,
he loudly says, "U-Kiss should go on that show too."
Then the customers come and ask for our autographs.
Sir. I'm on King of Mask Singer. I did my best.
U-Kiss will work hard to show you...
great performances. We won't get into trouble.
We'll make good songs for you. Thank you.
This is the result of Round Two.
Excited Ray defeated Soo Hyun of U-Kiss...
and moved on to Round Three.
The second match of Round Two, Semi-finals.
She defeated Hong Rok Ki in Round One.
She will sing with her passion for music which is hotter than the sun.
Bali Girl from Onyang, Ulju!
(I want to listen to Bali Girl's song really badly.)
(She walks in, getting cheered by the audience.)
(We've been waiting for you.)
- I wonder what she's going to sing. - Her singing style is unique.
It's really unique.
She looks like someone in her 20s on the outside.
(Her unusual husky voice...)
(breaks the audience's hearts.)
(She skillfully keeps her singing moderate.)
(Her voice melts the hearts of the audience.)
(She looks like a trot singer on the outside,)
(but she may not be a singer of standard trot music.)
(Trot, my foot!)
(She danced powerfully.)
(Maybe Bali Girl is a member of a female idol group.)
(Happy)
(You're completely mistaken.)
(Her identity is still unknown.)
(It's time for her to rule the stage again.)
(How is she going to...)
(melt the audience's hearts with her charms this time?)
(We invite you to her deadly charming stage.)
("Even If I Love You" by Jeon You Na)
(This song is...)
I think she's going to sing it really well.
(It's a perfect song for Bali Girl.)
(She sings a lonely monologue of...)
(a woman who is sick of love with a calm voice.)
(Her sad, husky voice conveys...)
(the emptiness that you face at the end of a breakup.)
(It's a song of despair that makes you accept...)
(the resentment towards the love that didn't last.)
(The sorrowfulness towards the love that grows fainter)
(The pain you feel when you have to walk away from your love)
(Don't give me the meaningless words, "I loved you.")
(Just smile quietly instead.)
- She's a great singer. - She's good.
(Bali Girl's dramatic singing makes everyone feel emotional.)
(Her voice conveys both resentment and despair.)
(Her voice becomes more and more emotional.)
(It's all over now.)
(Now I know how you must have felt at that time.)
(Her husky voice maximizes the sorrowfulness.)
(Bali Girl conveyed the emotions that the original song has.)
She has a sad voice.
Gosh, her voice sounded so desperate.
(He's still absorbed in her song.)
Her opponent is...
the singer who defeated Seo Min Jung.
"Don't eat it. Listen to it."
The lure of the voice of high-calorie.
Calories Don't Matter, MC Hamburger!
(Calories Don't Matter, MC Hamburger)
(His sweet voice will be a delight to your ears.)
(Don't eat it. Listen to it.)
(Please appease our hunger with your sweet voice.)
I'm so curious who he is.
He walks like a hip-hop musician.
(He can freely control the rhythm.)
(He overwhelmed the audience with a flawless husky voice.)
(He's the textbook of singing...)
(approved by an expert.)
(I won't say anything for now.)
(I will talk about him when we get to Final Match.)
(Hamburger was voted as King of Mask Singer material.)
(Against the tough opponent, Bali Girl,)
(which performance will he show?)
("Missing You" by Fly To The Sky)
Hwan Hee.
(It's a song by Fly To The Sky.)
(How will Hamburger cook the song?)
(The sound is as savory as a juicy patty.)
(Hamburger's voice is as delectable as a limited edition menu.)
(He becomes emotional.)
(His rhythm and blues sentiments wrap their ears like melted cheese.)
(He unfolds the longing in a delicate and careful way.)
This is it. He will be King of Mask Singer.
(I can give you a refill on the ad-libs.)
(Why do I feel so regretful?)
(I know how you feel.)
(He delivers his sentimentality with top-notch ad-libs.)
(Every day, every night, I am missing you)
(Hamburger controls the rhythm to cook a song.)
(He plates a rhythm and blues dish with amazing ad-libs.)
(He cries out with all his might.)
(Ad-libbing)
(Hamburger uses his soulful voice to deliver...)
(a longing for love in a performance of "Missing You".)
(They felt sorrowful and emotional with him.)
(His rich voice is always right.)
This is it. This is it.
Nice!
He did an amazing job.
Queen of Mask Singer is in danger today.
It was the war of voices...
in which the masked singers boasted their sentimentality.
I wonder what the panelists thought. Hyun Chul?
Do you know who Lee Eun Ha is?
Lee Eun Ha sang "Night Train".
This is how she sings "Spring Rain".
"Spring rain". That's how she sings.
How does she sing?
(This is how Lee Eun Ha sings "Spring Rain".)
(It's a bad reenactment.)
- I see. - Bali Girl's voice...
is also clear and husky.
Her husky voice...
tells us of her past years.
Thus, the moment she sang, "Even though I love you",
people became touched.
Her ad-libs...
sounded like...
a story of her life.
It was a nice performance.
As for Hamburger,
he knows when to sing with or without power.
Even though he just sang a rhythm and blues song,
he seems to be well-versed in all musical genres...
as well as rhythm and blues.
- Really? - It seems to be that way.
Throughout the performance,
Hamburger stared at Hwan Hee.
Can you see his eyes?
I can't see his eyes.
- I saw them. - Hwan Hee didn't feel anything.
I saw them.
I saw his burning eyes.
(He longed for attention from the original singer.)
(Please listen to my song.)
(I saw it.)
I wouldn't be surprised if he was mindful of Hwan Hee,
the original singer of the song.
Fly To The Sky's songs are duet songs.
It's incredibly hard to sing a song...
that is originally sung by two men.
The chorus goes...
Every day, every night, I am missing you
This is the heart of the song.
He pulled it off nicely by himself.
He wouldn't have been able to do it...
without incredible talent.
Do you think he is King of Mask Singer material?
- I think both of them are. - Really?
Bali Girl wouldn't have that kind of a voice...
without years of experience and talent.
I believe Bali Girl and Hamburger have...
overlapping sentimentality.
Really? Do they have overlapping sentimentality?
I say that...
because both of them are interested in genres other than their own.
The voice Bali Girl lets us hear...
is very jazzy.
She sang with a jazzy voice, bluesy sentiments,
and trot techniques.
She neither leans to trot...
nor jazz.
Her performance contained merits of different genres.
That's why it was so nice.
On the other hand,
Hamburger studies each note with a magnifying glass.
Then he twists...
the notes as he pleases.
(He studies each note carefully with a magnifying glass.)
(He twists the notes in a splendid way.)
That's how he creates a rhythm and blues performance...
without losing the Korean sentimentality.
I believe their sentiments overlap...
because they are on the top of their genres.
Bali Girl...
has tanned skin and a husky voice.
She reminds me of Kim Hye Lim.
- Kim Hye Lim? - Yes.
(Kim Hye Lim received a lot of love for her song, "D.D.D".)
- Kim Hye Lim? - Yes.
- "I feel lonely when I am alone." - That's right.
She entered my mind.
- She entered my mind. - That's your opinion.
- It's my opinion. - It's real.
She correctly guessed Soo Hyun's identity earlier.
She has a chance of getting this one right.
Hamburger's hesitant voice...
reminds me of ZoPD.
- ZoPD? "My Friend". - Yes.
Yes, "My Friend".
His body and everything else point to ZoPD.
- ZoPD? - Yes.
- ZoPD? - ZoPD.
Doesn't ZoPD rap?
(Blinking)
Doesn't he sing ballad songs as well?
Anyway, let's consider all possibilities.
- A singer of "D.D.D", Kim Hye Lim. - Kim Hye Lim.
- ZoPD. - A singer of "My Friend", ZoPD.
We have listened to Young Ran's opinions.
This time, the two masked singers will show the specialties...
they didn't get to show last week.
Hamburger will mimic Robert Harley's voice.
Show us your specialty.
Hello, I'm Robert Harley.
Do you want some ramyeon?
Some ramyeon?
(He kind of sounds like Robert.)
He sounds like Robert, right?
(Happy)
It's Bali Girl's turn.
She'll dance to...
"Signal" by Twice.
Music, please.
(What kind of charms will she show off this time?)
(Getting into the rhythm)
(She starts to dance cutely.)
(Amazed)
(Knee kick?)
(She's running to a transmission tower to send a signal.)
(Sending a signal, sending a signal)
(Tingling)
Gosh.
(Bali Girl never misses the point moves.)
(Why won't you respond?)
(It's time to send a signal.)
(Her dance moves captivate men's hearts.)
(He's her new target.)
That's it.
(Bali Girl's signal reached everyone's hearts.)
- She's very good. - That was nice.
- She danced very well. - Right.
Is she a member of a girl group?
(Flustered)
- Girl group? - Do you want to join Twice?
(I'd love to.)
She's a lovely woman.
It's Hamburger's turn.
In fact, MC Hamburger is named after MC Hammer.
He will show MC Hammer's dance.
It must be amazing.
Music, please.
(It's MC Hammer's biggest hit, "U Can't Touch This".)
(Let's go.)
He knows how to dance.
(He must have danced to this song a lot when he was young.)
(Turning)
That's it.
(That was cool.)
I was hoping to see more.
He's very good.
I'm curious about Seung Woo's opinion.
I just think...
Bali Girl is really cool.
- I see. - There's no need...
for words. I think she knows what's cool.
The second she finished singing, I thought it was really cool.
I didn't even know what else to say.
I think she's amazing.
When Hamburger sang in this round, it felt like...
he was saying, "I held myself back in Round One!"
- It felt like... - Did you feel that way?
he was saying that.
"Now I'll show you what I've got!"
And when he finished singing, it was like...
he was saying, "Did you see that?"
That's how he ended his song.
It was something...
we couldn't even imagine in Round One. It was impressive.
I see.
Now, I will announce...
the result of the second match of Round Two, Semi-finals.
An emotional vocalist with a mournful voice, Bali Girl.
And a soul vocalist with a sweet voice, MC Hamburger.
Who will win this round and move on to Round Three...
to sing against Ray? I'll now reveal...
the winner of this match.
(Bali Girl expressed...)
(the sorrow of parting in her own way.)
(MC Hamburger revealed himself...)
(with his soulful voice.)
Bali Girl versus MC Hamburger.
Who is the winner of this match? The winner is...
The winner is...
I can't watch this. I don't want to see it.
Be the King of Mask Singer!
(It was a neck and neck match.)
(There is no way of predicting who will win.)
The winner is...
(Calories Don't Matter, MC Hamburger wins.)
MC Hamburger wins.
That's right!
(They all have mixed feelings.)
(MC Hamburger moves on to Round Three.)
Hamburger!
(The score is 32 to 67.)
It's 67 to 32.
With a final score of 67 to 32, Hamburger beats Bali Girl...
and moves on to the next round. Please return to your waiting room.
Please give him a round of applause.
(The shocking identity of Bali Girl will be revealed soon.)
She sang the song of a genre I can't sing well...
with her beautiful voice.
So it wasn't easy.
I'll do my best to the very end.
I want to meat the Queen of Mask Singer.
I'll see you soon.
She was much loved and highly praised...
by the panelists. Who is she then?
Let's find out who she is.
Please move to the rear of the stage.
Now, Bali Girl, please take off your mask...
and show us your face.
(She sounds like a trot singer,)
(but she's not a real trot singer?)
(She's comparable to Miss Korea.)
(She represents the country with her voice.)
(Don't even think about...)
(lying to us about her.)
(She danced quite well to Twice's songs.)
(It looked a little awkward though.)
Show us your face.
(Surprised)
(It's good to see you!)
(What? Who is she?)
- Let me see her face. - What?
Show us your face.
She is...
the queen of trot, Kim Hye Yeon...
who sang "It's a Snake".
I knew it!
- She's Kim Hye Yeon. - That's her.
It's a snake This is the song.
I didn't know she had such a husky voice.
Please say hello to our viewers.
Hello, I'm Kim Hye Yeon. It's nice to meet you.
It's Kim Hye Yeon who won the Popularity Award.
(She made her debut in "Countrywide Singing Contest" in 1991.)
(She won the Popularity Award with her good singing skills and energy.)
(Starting with "Seoul, Daejeon, Daegu, Busan" which as a big hit,)
(she's made a lot of her songs a great success.)
(With the exciting melody and witty lyrics,)
(her song, "It's a Snake", became a big hit.)
The Best New Artist goes to Kim Hye Yeon.
- The Best Trot Singer. - Kim Hye Yeon.
(She has dominated all the awards ceremonies since her debut.)
(She's acknowledged as the best singer in Korea.)
(She's a national treasure with 27 years of experience.)
(She's the queen of trot who lives up to her name.)
She's a beloved trot singer, Kim Hye Yeon.
- It's been a long time. - How have you been?
In fact, I don't have a husky voice.
I tried to change the tone of my voice for this program.
I strained my voice singing.
In fact, this is the high season for trot singers.
I sang a lot before coming here.
My throat was so sore that I couldn't even sing.
- Really? - But...
this song sounded pretty good with my husky voice.
I see.
She's the most sought-after singer for various events.
So there were times she performed 12 times a day.
- Right. - Is that true?
Just like the title of my song,
I went to Seoul, Daejeon, Daegu, Busan, Changwon, and Masan.
Then I came back to Seoul, and went to Suwon, and Incheon.
I visited 12 cities a day.
She's really busy.
Hye Yeon is well known for a mother of many kids.
- Yes. - You have four children?
- I have two daughters and two sons. - Two daughters and two sons.
She says her kids had a prejudice...
that she wouldn't appear...
on King of Mask Singer.
It was just a throwaway remark.
But it stabbed me in the heart.
"Aren't you going to go on King of Mask Singer?"
"You don't want to be there?"
"You can't go on there, right?" I was hurt by that.
Trot singers rarely appear on variety shows.
So my children thought I wouldn't appear in their favorite TV shows.
I wanted my children...
to watch me sing in a variety show on TV.
- Are you watching me, kids? - They'd be watching you.
- They must be proud of her. - I'm sure...
your children cheering for you now.
Hye Yeon is one of super women in show business.
She has this amazing history.
As far as I know, she sang until a week before her delivery.
It's not about money.
She did that because many people wanted to see her.
I always think that...
she's amazing.
Please give her a big hand.
I was quite shocked...
to hear that you strained your voice on purpose.
How could you do that? She showed...
amazing performances even though it wasn't her real voice.
That's the point of this program.
She tried to hide her voice at great inconvenience.
I really respect her. It's just amazing.
I still can't believe she did that.
I want to sing for a long time just like she did.
She made her debut in 1991.
She's a singer with a lot of experience.
- Thank you for joining our program. - When were you born?
Me?
I was born in 1997.
I know.
It'll take a long time to become a singer like her.
Today, she filled the stage...
not with a trot song, but with emotional ballad songs.
It was Kim Hye Yeon. Please give her a round of applause.
(We look forward to your future endeavors.)
I could go back to the basics...
and practice singing really hard like a rookie.
It brought me back to my rookie days, and I loved it.
It must be one of the most memorable performances I did.
I will always remember it.
Go Eun, Do Hyung, Min Ji, and Do Woo.
Mommy's on King of Mask Singer, the show you really love.
I couldn't become the Queen of Mask Singer.
But you have to remember that I came here for you.
Okay? Let's go, King of Mask Singer.
Thank you.
Calories Don't Matter, MC Hamburger...
beats Kim Hye Yeon and moves on to Round Three.
The mysterious music show, King of Mask Singer.
Now, only one round remains...
before the final stage begins.
In order to stop Spirited Lady from winning for the 7th time,
these two singers will compete on Final Round.
Let's bring out the two mask singers to the stage once again.
Please give it up for them.
(Ray versus Hamburger)
Ray versus Hamburger.
The two male mask singers...
have made it to Final Round.
I wonder how you feel.
I've come further than I expected.
Did you do better than you anticipated?
- I've come a lot further. - Did you come a lot further?
Is there anything you want to say to Queen of Mask Singer?
Yes. Where is she?
- She's over there. - Yes.
Hello.
Why are you saying hello as if you met her at a store?
(He's funny.)
I'll do my best anyway.
(Thank you.)
All right. He sounds like a guy next-door of every neighborhood.
Hamburger, how do you feel?
Actually, it's hard to sing three songs a day.
And to do that on TV...
- is exhausting. - You're exhausted.
- I am very exhausted. - I see.
And this mask doesn't have good ventilation.
It's not well-ventilated.
I think the air must be good up there.
It's better than here, isn't it?
(The air is fresh here.)
All right. Spirited Lady,
you are going for your seventh win.
What did you think of the two singers?
While watching them, I became hungry.
- Did they make you hungry? - Yes.
I don't know if I'm hungry or if I'm anxious.
I'm not sure.
But I'm a little scared.
You became hungry and scared.
Are you not feeling so well today?
- I'm really nervous. - You're nervous.
There are days like that.
They are both very good. And that makes me more nervous.
- Is that right? - Yes.
Why don't you tell us your determination...
and declare war on the other singer?
Ray will go first.
Since I've come this far, I will do my best.
Wait for me.
He told us to wait for him.
All right, Hamburger.
Your Majesty,
show us your face.
Today.
All right.
Stop it. You're scaring us.
(He apologizes.)
(He's funny.)
He's a funny man. All right.
Now,
Final Round will begin.
Excited Ray...
will perform first.
(Excited Ray will perform first.)
- He sings very stably. - Very stable.
- Cheers. - It feels dream-like.
Right. It does feel like a dream.
(Will Excited Ray...)
(be able to swim up...)
(and take the throne?)
(He will show us his lethal move.)
("Repose of Souls" by Yada)
It's a rock ballad.
("Repose of Souls" is a rock ballad song.)
It's Yada's song.
(How will Ray change this song with his voice?)
(He sings the first bar composedly, yet firmly.)
(He sings about the wounded heart of a man who lost his lover...)
(in a calm way.)
(It's lovely.)
(His voice has the power to absorb every audience...)
(into his grief.)
(For his unfulfilled love and promises,)
(he makes his last request.)
(Don't leave me alone.)
(His sorrowful emotion slowly explodes.)
(He can't forget how beautiful she was.)
(Even if all the lights in the world go out, he can still find her.)
(Bravo!)
Bravo.
I love it.
(Freely controlling people's emotions,)
(Ray is the controller of this tragic story.)
(They promised to stay together forever.)
(In order to keep the unfulfilled promise,)
(he sorrowfully sings a song and hopes it will reach the sky.)
(His emotions become one step more intense.)
(As if he is running towards the end of this tragedy,)
(his sorrow helplessly explodes.)
(Ray's beautiful "Repose of Souls" makes us cry.)
That made me emotional.
(People can't easily calm down.)
- He's good. - Yes.
- He's unbelievably good. - He's good.
It's not easy to create that feel by vibrating your voice.
He's amazing.
Contending him is...
the mask singer who beat Seo Min Jung and Kim Hye Yeon.
He's got the soulful voice that makes us feel full.
Calories Don't Matter, MC Hamburger.
(He has a rich and filling voice.)
(He's the vocalist who's got a lot to offer.)
(What's up, Hamburger!)
Welcome.
(He's here.)
I hope he puts on a ridiculously good performance.
I bet he will do really well.
(Everyone is paying attention to this master singer.)
(They are looking forward to his performance.)
(Will he be able to beat Ray...)
(and get to challenge the Queen?)
("Don't Leave Me" by Park Jin Young)
I don't want to leave.
(His sweet and romantic voice...)
(doesn't let us go.)
(Surprised)
This game is already over.
(It has just begun, but people are already enthused.)
(He dominates the stage with just a few verses.)
(MC Hamburger has a gripping voice.)
(His soulful voice is irreplaceable.)
(His voice flows smoothly with the melody.)
(He whispers lightly as a feather,)
(yet his voice echoes powerfully.)
(His movements and gestures look composed.)
(This skillful singer knows how to sing.)
(He sings softly, yet powerfully.)
(The more we hear, the more charming it sounds.)
(He shows the old dance moves.)
(He's engrossed.)
(It's a fantastic combination of rhythm and blues and dance.)
(He pats his bottom.)
(It is an entrancing performance.)
(He even beatboxes.)
Make some noise!
(His amazing performance...)
(gets the audience excited.)
(Excited)
(I love it!)
(He can freely control his voice.)
(MC Hamburger has a magical and charming voice.)
(His voice and skills have been even more matured.)
(His voice melts our ears.)
(His exciting performance...)
(blows the audience's minds.)
(He dominates the whole stage.)
(Here we go again.)
(Dancing)
(Everyone is fascinated by his performance.)
Awesome!
(Young Ran is overly excited.)
(His enchanting performance...)
(makes even Gu Ra dance.)
(His rich voice...)
(pleases our ears.)
He's so good!
(He is charming like...)
(a juicy patty.)
(The notes are fully under his control.)
(His performance is full of ad-libs.)
(Oh, baby)
(Dancing)
(He's not only a great dancer...)
(but also a great singer.)
Make some noise!
(He pleases both our ears and eyes.)
(His voice cheers everyone up.)
(He finishes the song with his amazing ad-lib.)
(No one can leave his energetic music festival.)
(MC Hamburger is the best.)
That was amazing!
(Unbelievable)
(MC Hamburger!)
Don't leave me
(He dances with his frail body.)
My goodness.
That was incredible.
That was amazing.
Yoon Seok, what's wrong with your jacket?
(He was so excited he couldn't even properly put his jacket on.)
You should either take it off or put it on.
The Final Round...
is now over.
Spirited Lady is aiming for the seventh victory.
How did you like it?
Both of their performances were great.
It seems like they both have stunning stage presence.
I was thinking today might be my last day performing here.
Were you afraid it's going to be your last performance?
Yes.
(Sobbing)
Still, I'm going to do my best.
Let me show you my swag.
Are you going to show us your swag?
- Yes. - Very good.
Spirited Lady now goes for her seventh victory.
Please go backstage and get ready for the Final Match.
Please give her a round of applause!
(Let's go, Spirited Lady!)
Young Seok, I'm curious how you thought of Round Three.
It was nostalgic.
- It was nostalgic. - I really loved it.
MC Hamburger, I love you.
Goodness.
It's not very common for a performance of a competition...
to be this enjoyable.
His performance is perfect...
for moving people's hearts.
His performance has a perfect operating system...
to move people's hearts.
Thank you for such a nostalgic and touching performance.
He said MC Hamburger has a power to touch our hearts.
What would you say about Ray?
There are some people...
whose pulse don't quicken after sprinting.
He has a great lung capacity...
like those people. He's singing is stable as well.
Most importantly, he sings with...
a powerful and expressive voice which touches our hearts.
They are very different from each other.
I think many people will have trouble choosing one of those two.
- He has an expressive voice. - Yes.
Jang Hyuk leaped to his feet in the middle of the performance.
I loved it.
You loved it so much.
He has his own way of singing.
His way of singing is very heavy and stable.
He kept singing with stable breathing.
On top of that, he expressed...
the emotions very well.
He brought the 90s vibe back...
which made me feel great.
As for MC Hamburger,
I don't know what to say.
If I must say something,
he's not only good at singing. He knows everything about music.
He has mastered music.
He knows how the drum and bass should be playing...
and to which rhythm he can sing to.
He knows what exactly he needs to make his performance sound good.
I think he has a great knowledge of music.
His performance today was as good as the one of K-Ci and Jojo...
or R.Kelly.
He said a lot of nice things.
I guess it must have been...
interesting for Roy to watch Round Three.
Usually, for Round Three, people choose...
songs they are most confident with...
and songs they can perform well with.
But MC Hamburger rather had a performance...
that he can enjoy with everyone.
I couldn't do that. I'm very surprised at...
his confidence and courage.
And I think that was a good choice...
after all.
- I see. - As for Ray...
When I listen to 90s music,
I get the urge to sing with their style.
His performance today...
reminded me of such a good feeling I got from those songs.
You discovered the beauty of the old songs.
Yes, both of you were great.
What do you think, Hwan Hee?
Both of them have the power to...
dominate the whole stage.
Actually, on the stage,
since you're fighting against the King or the Queen,
you can be quite nervous.
But they weren't nervous at all.
They don't seem to care at all what happens around them.
The Queen also watched their performances.
I bet she must be feeling quite a lot of pressure.
Both of them were so good.
- I see. - Thank you.
Young Ran?
I thought you were in a club or something.
I'm so happy.
- You danced like crazy. - I'm so thankful too.
I was able to recharge my energy thanks to his stage.
I'm not sure if you witnessed it or not, but Gu Ra danced too.
Yes, but it was because of her.
She was dancing like this.
(He was influenced by her dancing spirit.)
- So you danced with her. - It was nice.
It was my 1st time seeing you dance in 2 years.
I totally released my stress.
By the way, I was reminded of someone by listening to his voice.
When he sang Yada's song a while ago,
- I was reminded of Kim Min Jong. - Kim Min Jong?
(What?)
- Kim Min Jong? - Yes, Kim Min Jong.
His height and everything are so similar.
I think the way he sings and talks is similar to that of Min Jong's.
You thought he'd be Wan Kyu or Jong Seo and now you think it's Min Jong.
- Kim Min Jong. - All right.
And about the singer next to him...
- I'm 100 percent positive... - Go on.
(They don't expect anything from her anymore.)
I'm positive he's ZoPD.
I knew it right away when he started rapping.
- You became sure about it. - Yes, I'm sure.
(She's confident without any grounds.)
I'm envious of her more than anyone else.
- Why? - She just enjoys performances...
and doesn't care at all about her comments.
She has nothing in her mind.
We take notes and are busy preparing for comments,
but she even danced to it just now. I became so envious suddenly.
She came to me and wondered if it was Min Jong.
I became so envious.
She has nothing in her mind, but it's actually a good thing...
because you just need to enjoy good performances like these ones.
It doesn't matter whom we think is behind those masks.
So I guess the happiest person among us...
is Young Ran.
- She reaped the most benefits. - Right.
I'm so envious of you.
(She's worried about nothing and is just happy.)
Now, I will announce...
the result of Round Three.
It's a surprising result.
I will now reveal the challenger...
who will compete for the throne.
Who will get to challenge the Queen?
(He expressed a man's sorrow...)
(with more desperate and sincere voice than anyone else's.)
(Excited Ray gave a performance that moved everyone's hearts.)
(I'm the king of rhythm!)
(MC Hamburger taught us what it's like to play with music.)
Between Excited Ray and MC Hamburger,
whom does the audience want to see perform again?
The winner is...
- The winner is... - The winner is...
Why did he say it's surprising?
Who will be the winner of this match between the two?
The candidate to challenge Spirited Lady is...
It is...
(Calories Don't Matter, MC Hamburger wins.)
MC Hamburger wins! MC Hamburger.
(Let's go eat hamburgers.)
It's MC Hamburger!
(It's a pleasant evening with hamburgers.)
(They give a round of applause for Excited Ray too.)
It's MC Hamburger!
(Surprised)
MC Hamburger wins the match.
(It's 18 to 81.)
The result is...
81 to 18.
That's an overwhelming voting difference.
Please go backstage and listen to the Queen's song.
Give him another round of applause.
(The identity of Excited Ray will be revealed soon.)
He's now the rival of the current Queen of Mask Singer.
Fall in love with the hamburger's delicious charms.
Now, it's time to...
find out who Excited Ray is.
You shouldn't have been like this as experts.
Yu Young Seok, Kim Hyun Chul, and Cho Jang Hyuk.
Along with Kim Gu Ra.
Let's find out who he is.
Please move to this side.
(They're curious.)
Now, Excited Ray, please take off your mask...
and reveal your face.
(He's a well-trained singer.)
(Is he from an old generation?)
(Is he a singer who performed in Hyun Chul's generation?)
(What are you talking about?)
(His dancing made it hard to predict his age.)
(Is he Hong Kyung Min?)
Please reveal your face!
He is...
(No way!)
Who is he?
(Why are they so surprised?)
Please reveal your face!
He is...
the original singer of "Every Day I Wait".
He's Kim Hwa Soo of Tisams!
(Shocked)
(They finally recognize who he is.)
(The legendary vocalist, Kim Hwa Soo, is Excited Ray!)
(How could I not recognize him?)
Please introduce yourself to the viewers.
Hello, I'm Kim Hwa Soo of Tisams.
("Every Day I Wait" by Tisams)
(In the 8th Gangbyeon Song Festival in 1987,)
(they made their shocking appearance with a heavymetal song.)
(He was 21 then.)
(Tisams became a legendary group which brought a huge craze.)
(Alongside with Tisams,)
(he continued his career as a solo artist.)
(He's known for his original high notes.)
(Not long ago, "Every Day I Wait" was sung...)
(by Music Commander, and became popular again.)
(The vocalist of Tisams is named Kim Hwa Soo.)
(Gu Ra showed his personal affection towards Kim Hwa Soo.)
(Why did you do it?)
Gu Ra can't close his mouth now.
You said yourself that you're his fan last time too.
Actually, when I was in high school,
the most popular rock song at that time was...
"Every Day I Wait" by Tisams.
When I was at college, he made a debut as a solo artist.
I even bought his album.
You told us before.
When I used to run a store, I played his music so often.
Aren't you a year younger than Young Seok?
He's now 51.
You look so much younger than your age.
Were you born in 1967?
- Your voice... - He was born in 1967.
sounds like you're in your 30s.
That's incredible.
You are known as the original singer with high tones.
Right. Among all the songs that got showcased in the festival,
our song was the first one...
with crazy shouting.
No other bands had sung over three octaves.
Thanks to that, we got a bit of attention at the festival.
Hwa Soo, can you sing the same even now?
No, I can't.
- You can't? - I suffered from vocal nodules,
so I can't reach as high as I could before.
It went something like this. Every day I wait
- I can't anymore. - Music Commander pulled that off.
He did such a great job.
I'm so thankful for that.
It's been exactly 24 years since Hwa Soo last appeared...
on stage or TV shows.
You're right.
You were 27 years old when you last appeared on TV.
You performed with Do Won Kyung...
- on stage in SBS. - Right.
The crucial reason why I decided to appear on this program is...
because I watched Gu Ra remember my name clearly.
When no one bought your album,
I became to be the only one to buy yours.
That really motivated me to come out.
I thought that there's still someone who remembers my name.
He remembered my name clearly.
I was so thankful.
But he mentioned that I had narrow shoulders and things like that.
(My goodness.)
So I thought maybe I was mistaken.
You do have narrow shoulders.
It's already been 31 years since he debuted.
He's in his 50s, but he managed to show incredible performances.
Please give another round of applause...
for Kim Hwa Soo of Tisams!
- "Every Day I Wait"! - Thank you.
(We hope to see you often.)
- Kim Hwa Soo! - Every Day I Wait
Viewers! It's been such a long time...
since I appeared on Gangbyeon Song Festival.
I realized that many people still remember who I am.
Thank you very much.
I'll continue to sing passionately...
just as I did when I was in college. Thank you!
Every Day I Wait
Here's the result of Round Three.
Calories Don't Matter, MC Hamburger...
advances to Final Match after winning against Kim Hwa Soo.
It's the mysterious music show, King of Mask Singer.
Now, only the performance of...
Spirited Lady on the Ninth Rank remains.
Will Spirited Lady on the Ninth Rank be able to...
safely protect her throne today?
It's a match to decide the 59th King of Mask Singer. Let's bring her in!
(Her performance starts now.)
It's a match to decide the 59th King of Mask Singer.
As she aims for seven consecutive wins, her exciting spirit explodes.
She's the 58th Queen of Mask Singer,
Spirited Lady on the Ninth Rank!
(Only the King gets to have a privilege of using this door.)
(Spirited Lady with 6 consecutive wins)
(Spirited like always)
(You're so cool!)
We didn't have that kind of door before.
I didn't get to appear in the middle then.
- I did. - You did?
It wasn't the case for me.
- Her costume got changed. - That's provoking.
Maybe she'll sing a rock song.
She said she'd show what swag is. Maybe it's hip-hop.
Hip-hop?
(What's up?)
Her styling is totally different from last time.
I can't wait to see what she'll show us today.
(Spirited Lady took off her apron.)
(It's unpredictable how she'll perform.)
(To win the match for the 7th time,)
(what fabulous performance did she prepare?)
Gosh, it's "Day Day"!
("Day Day" by Bewhy)
It's "Day Day".
("Day Day" by Bewhy)
(Spirited Lady boldly chose a hip-hop song.)
(Dancing)
(Everybody, let's dance.)
(It's amazing.)
(She draws everyone's attention with her delicate singing.)
(Oh, my.)
(She overwhelms the audience with hip-hop music.)
(Let's go back)
(Amazed)
(She has a perfect sense of rhythm.)
(The days I felt)
(Hopes and fears at the same time)
(It's like she won't let herself breathe even for a second.)
(Her rapping fascinates the audience.)
(I made my unconsciousness always go to the place my spirit wants)
(I started obsessing with a bigger dream)
(I knew my day would come)
(Bravo!)
(It's Spirited Lady's day.)
(She rules the stage with her rapping and singing.)
(Tell me you're proud of me)
(She's so cool!)
(Her breathtaking rap hits your ears.)
(The weather feels good)
(The sky and the sun are not just bright but beautiful)
(My pulse feels steady)
(She raps like a machine gun.)
(Unbelievable!)
(Spirited Lady raps now)
(She even changed the lyrics.)
(This is insane.)
(This is crazy!)
(Her shockingly new stage shows the true hip-hop soul.)
(Her sweet voice spreads in an instant.)
(My scent will permeate your days)
(She sings a crazily high note.)
(Oh, my gosh!)
(Dancing)
(Tell me you're proud of me)
(I'll make your dreams come true)
(She perfectly hits the high notes.)
(That was sensational.)
(Her new choice of music shocked everyone.)
(What just happened?)
She's amazing.
- Gosh. - She's a powerful competitor.
She's hard to beat.
It gave me goosebumps.
She's great.
Gosh, she must've worked really hard.
Final Match is now over.
It's time for you to make a choice now.
Press number one for Calories Don't Matter, MC Hamburger,
and press number two for Spirited Lady on the Ninth Rank.
Spirited Lady tried rapping...
in her own style today.
Will she be able to defend her throne once again?
Or will Hamburger become...
the new King of Mask Singer?
All votes are in.
Young Seok?
I couldn't believe my ears.
She sang a new and unfamiliar...
version of "Day Day".
Her style of singing doesn't really suit hip-hop music.
Also, you need to have a little evil energy to do hip-hop,
but she's good and beautiful.
That's how people see her,
so I had doubts at first.
I'd like to describe her performance today this way.
It's like she's saying, "I sing,"
"therefore I am."
She proved what she's worth...
and why she is the Queen of Mask Singer.
It didn't feel like the hip-hop music...
we're familiar with,
but it was a very satisfying stage.
It's going to be hard to beat her today.
If she wins again today, she will continue to win...
until her 10th consecutive win.
- Do you think so? - Yes.
I actually have something to confess to the queen.
I've been anti-queen so far.
- You've been anti-queen? - Yes.
- Really? - Yes. For the last several weeks,
I did what I could do...
- to drag her down. - You were secretly against her.
I've voted against her.
Yes. I'm the kind of a person who...
doesn't like to see someone seizing power for a long time.
Because she's hard to defeat,
- I have always voted against her. - I see.
But today, I didn't even hesitate...
- to vote for her. - Did you vote for her?
You voted for her today.
As you know,
she has sung ballads so far.
But she tried a new genre today.
She must have worked really hard for it.
Singers like Mariah Carey have released songs with...
hip-hop musicians like Jay-Z...
or Busta Rhymes.
They got help from those famous hip-hop musicians...
and made hits with their songs.
But Spirited Lady even rapped herself...
and showed us a great performance.
I think that's really incredible.
I guess my story with the queen has come to a happy ending.
(It's a happy ending.)
I couldn't believe my ears during her performance.
As I listened to her song,
I realized that...
it was a new kind of hip-hop music.
Each word of the lyrics felt like...
refined diamond.
Her voice made it sparkle.
This is how it felt. You get a delicious dish,
and it's something you've never tasted in your life.
You think to yourself, "Why didn't I try this before?"
It feels that way. I loved it.
She surprised us with something new again today.
She really deserves to be the Queen of Mask Singer.
(Embarrassed)
- How about you, Chae Young? - This song is...
hard to sing even for a rapper.
It has a lot of lyrics. She's really amazing.
There is a pop singer named Ariana Grande.
Spirited Lady reminded me of her.
I thought it'd sound great if she sang...
Ariana Grande's song.
Jang Hyuk. It was...
something new that might be a threat to her position.
I think there is a possibility that she will lose today.
Do you think so? Hamburger was great too.
Hamburger showed off his rich voice.
His stage...
felt like a stage of a foreign pop singer.
He showed an amazing performance.
I had this thought.
Both of them have such great presence.
They are like...
the two prominent singers who can't be compared.
I think they are...
amazing singers of our country that we must protect.
This match is only about which of their performances...
the 99 people in the set liked better.
I dare say it doesn't mean any more than that.
- I really enjoyed it. - Kai, what did you think?
Hamburger is like a hamburger of the finest quality.
I wouldn't miss my chance...
to taste it even if I have to pay a high price.
His performance didn't just have high quality.
It was an incredible stage.
I believe it'll be the matter of...
the audience's personal taste in music.
When people rap,
they're usually concerned about the beat or their tone.
To rap melodically like her,
you have to be precisely in tune.
She was perfectly in tune.
Her singing ability has no bounds.
Aside from the genre of music she chose today,
she sang a song of a fast tempo...
with a precise melody.
She showed us her another ability today.
Thank you so much.
What about you, Roy?
I think...
whatever she sings,
its melody sounds sacred.
During her stage, I was able to hear...
the sounds that I've never heard in my life.
Her voice didn't sound faint.
It didn't sound weak or powerful,
but sacred.
I can hear it no matter what she sings.
As for Hamburger,
he turns every song sound greasy.
The melody keeps sliding up and down.
They sound totally different from each other.
I have no idea whom I should pick.
After taking a few number of wins,
every King or Queen of Mask Singer wants to try...
- a hip-hop performance. - That's right.
I tried it and became eliminated.
(I am not lacking in any way)
(Anpan Prince lost with this performance.)
(He didn't know back then...)
(that "Heartbreaker" will break his throne.)
I lost in a landslide.
It's hard to pull off a hip hop performance.
However, it's a genre everyone wants to try.
I didn't think that Queen of Mask Singer had...
a voice for hip hop, but she pulled off the performance.
If she overcomes this challenge,
a winning streak will ensue.
- Young Ran. - When the performance ended,
I got goosebumps.
It was so cool.
Her singing style and voice...
- reminded me of Lena Park. - Lena Park?
I think they are Lena Park and ZoPD.
- I am speaking as the audience. - ZoPD and Lena Park.
I think...
they are Lena Park and ZoPD.
The mysterious music show, King of Mask Singer.
Now, I will announce...
the result of the 59th Final Match.
Will Spirited Lady succeed in taking seven consecutive wins?
Will Hamburger...
begin the realm of the new King of Mask Singer?
I'll now reveal the owner of the throne,
the 59th King of Mask Singer.
(He controlled his voice in a clean and delicate way...)
(and captivated the panelists in Round One.)
(He moistened the audience's hearts in Round Two.)
(He showed the epitome of a rhythm and blues performance.)
(The soulful vocalist with a beautiful voice, Hamburger)
(He changed up the atmosphere.)
(He can skillfully play with the note and the beat.)
(His performance in Round Three was like a roller coaster ride.)
(Forget about everything you have seen from Spirited Lady.)
(She transformed into a rapper with her unique color.)
(She is a vocalist who can pull off all genres.)
(The pioneer of genres, Spirited Lady.)
Whom did the audience choose...
as the 59th King of Mask Singer?
The winner is...
I can't watch it.
I don't know what to do.
I am nervous.
(The tension is thick in the air.)
Who is the winner?
The winner is...
Will we see seven consecutive wins?
Will we see the new King of Mask Singer?
The winner is...
Hamburger won.
Hamburger is the winner.
The new King of Mask Singer is born.
With a final of 56 to 43,
Hamburger became...
the 59th King of Mask Singer.
(The 59th King of Mask Singer, Calories Don't Matter, MC Hamburger)
We will give him the Golden Mask and the King's Robe.
We have the new King of Mask Singer.
Please tell us how it feels to take the throne.
It was very nerve-wracking.
Competing against the Queen of Mask Singer...
who always has music on her mind...
made me reflect on myself.
I enjoyed her performance very much.
I will work hard. Thank you.
(Good luck.)
We have the new King of Mask Singer.
The 59th King of Mask Singer is Hamburger.
The King of Mask Singer will march.
Please give him a big hand.
(The King of Mask Singer, Hamburger marches.)
The three performances he gave...
(It's this way.)
received a lot of love from the audience.
The 59th King of Mask Singer, Hamburger...
will show his new side next week.
He is exiting the stage through the main gate.
From now on, the only one who can use the gate...
is Hamburger.
You took six wins...
on a winning streak.
You set the record as the Queen of Mask Singer.
You were the 53rd, 54th, 55th, 56th,
57th, and 58th Queen of Mask Singer, Spirited Lady.
It's time to reveal your identity.
If you would like to say anything before you take off the mask,
we will give you time.
I have no regrets...
because I gave a performance I wanted to give.
Thank you so much for giving me a lot of love.
All right.
(We were happy thanks to your songs.)
She will now take off her mask.
Please move to the back of the stage.
Now, Spirited Lady, take off your mask...
and reveal your face.
(She appeared with her otherworldly voice...)
(and made a strong impression.)
(Her singing skills are on a different level.)
(With her appealing sentiments,)
(she always gave an awe-inspiring performance.)
(She was Queen of Mask Singer who wasn't afraid of challenges.)
(Receiving high praises from the panelists,)
(she took one win after another.)
(She broke the record of Queen of Mask Singer...)
(and took 6 consecutive wins in total.)
(She should be chosen...)
(as a singer who hits high notes the most beautifully.)
(She is sacred.)
(Her voice is from another world.)
(She is a vocalist who moved the hearts...)
(and made people stand up and clap.)
(She is extraordinary.)
(She gave a legendary performance in each episode...)
(and sang with all her might and burning passion.)
(Spirited Lady ended her reign in a wonderful way.)
Please take off your mask...
and reveal your face.
(Screaming)
- She is... - What is it?
What is it?
She is...
(Who could she be?)
She is...
a singer with a voice the world loves,
So Hyang.
(She created the legend of Queen of Mask Singer.)
So Hyang.
(Screaming)
Do you know who she is?
Of course I do. She was in "I Am a Singer".
(It's nice to meet you.)
You worked hard...
to defend the throne for a long time.
Please say hello to the viewers.
Hello, I am So Hyang, a singer who sang diligently...
as Spirited Lady on the Ninth Rank.
It's nice to meet you.
(She is a talented solo artist who debuted in 1996.)
(With a powerful voice like a dolphin's,)
(she proved her worth in "I Am a Singer".)
(She placed 1st 4 times in total.)
(The Korean national anthem she sang for the 2012 All-Star Game...)
(became the talk of the town.)
(For the NBA game, she sang the American national anthem...)
(and became the world-class diva.)
(She has shined in different musicals.)
(The way she hits high notes is awe-inspiring.)
(A singer with the national treasure of a voice, So Hyang)
Please tell us how it felt to defend the throne for so long.
Before I visited King of Mask Singer,
I wondered if I should continue singing.
I wondered if people really like my voice.
I questioned myself because I was unsure.
Performing on the show...
made me realize that there are people who like me.
- I was very grateful for that. - I see.
Those who knew about your identity said...
they didn't know you were so cheerful...
and funny.
When I talk to my fans, they go,
"Your makeup looks like Celine Dion's,"
"but you speak like an old lady."
- They told me that. - That's how you usually speak.
The production crew were surprised when they first met me.
They thought I would be strong and taciturn,
but I am very chatty.
(Whether she comes to work early in the morning,)
(moves to the stage,)
(or waits, she stays chatty.)
Even when I yawn,
I don't have to cover my mouth.
I think I know who he is.
I recognized him from his specialty.
I am serious.
(Spirited Lady is chatty.)
- You are chatty today as well. - Yes, I am.
I was thinking that.
Young Seok, you must be sad to see her leave.
Of course I am.
She isn't an ordinary singer,
but a genius who is beyond extraordinary.
I will cheer for you. I was happy to see you here.
I was happy too.
- I was very happy. - Also,
Kai acted...
like your soulmate.
He seemed to cherish you very much.
We've known each other for a really long time.
She doesn't usually say...
that she is tired. But while...
preparing performances for King of Mask Singer, she had a hard time.
She is not a vegetarian,
but she doesn't like meat.
However, she started to eat meat because she got too tired.
- I see. - So...
- Was it that hard? - She was physically so tired.
So I thought she was spending the time of the biggest challenge...
- and the greatest hardship. - It's the will of our father.
- I see. - Yes.
So I feel glad...
that this is over now.
I'd like to keep admiring and supporting her as a musician.
Thank you.
We'll look forward to her future performances.
With her unexpected charms, she was so friendly.
And she approached us more closely with her sacred voice.
Please give a big round of applause to So Hyang.
You did a wonderful job so far.
(We won't ever forget you, Spirited Lady.)
Thank you.
(It's over.)
Go, Spirited Lady.
(The behind-the-scenes story will be revealed.)
(Spirited Lady always looked elegant...)
(and graceful while waiting.)
What the... He is so good.
(Her accents sounded down to earth.)
Why is this room so dirty?
(Sometimes, her rock spirit suddenly exploded.)
Can I wash the gown of King of Mask Singer?
- It's not bad. - I will...
put the big one aside.
Do I look like her?
(So Hyang feels identical with Spirited Lady.)
(Weight has been lifted off her shoulders.)
I won six times. In fact,
I think I should be satisfied with the achievement I got so far.
I've won the most times among Queens of Mask Singers.
If I ever have a chance one more time,
I'd rather not rap.
Still, I had a chance to meet you for a long time,
so I was happy and pleased.
I wrote a novel recently.
So I'd like to meet you through literature and music as well.
Thank you for your support so far.
I may come back as Spirited Grandma.
Don't let your guard down.
(Laughing)
Next week.
