Previously on King of Mask Singer.
It's 100 out of 100.
With her amazing singing ability,
she wrote the first page of the textbook of music.
She's the 61st Queen of Mask Singer.
Good Job Model Student, Young Hee.
(Ta-da)
(Hello, friends.)
(Let' play, Young Hee.)
We will delight your eyes and ears,
and make your vacation greater than ever.
This is the mysterious music show, King of Mask Singer.
I am your unbiased show host, Kim Seong Ju. Hello.
(Kim Min Jong)
(Hwang Hye Young and Nicole)
(Da Won of SF9)
As the Queen of Mask Singer,
please say hello to the viewers.
1, 2, 3, 4.
You and I should become the king
And be good friends
Let's make
A pinky promise, promise me
(She's cute.)
- Thank you. - She's the queen.
Young Hee is our queen.
After Spirited Lady,
Hamburger and Baby Sea Horse...
became the king, but they got eliminated...
after only one week.
This is an unprecedented situation.
For that reason, some people...
are worried that Young Hee...
would be eliminated right away.
Actually, I am not wearing...
any makeup underneath the mask.
I see.
I hope I won't have to take this off forever.
(Giggling)
I am worried and nervous.
You can watch the masked singers' performances...
and decide whether or not you will put on the makeup.
Yes.
(Laughing)
- We'll look forward to it today. - Okay.
Gu Ra,
the kings can't seem to win consecutively.
They get eliminated after one week.
Can you cheer up Young Hee...
or give her a tip?
The name "Young Hee" in our generation was...
- a very familiar name. - Right.
Her singing ability was truly overwhelming.
She said she's not wearing any makeup today.
I think that's a way of expressing her confidence.
When she stood up a while ago,
(What is he trying to say?)
I realized that she was bigger than the bodyguards next to her.
- Is that right? - Yes.
(She looked unusually big when she was greeting.)
(And Gu Ra saw that.)
She is rather big.
And I was really surprised.
The bodyguards had never looked so weak before.
Anyway, she's got an amazing power.
Power is the foundation of good singing ability.
- Right. - I'll keep a close eye on her.
All right.
Let's start the competition.
Young Hee's rival to stop her from winning for the second time.
Who will be that person?
This is the duet song competition of Round One.
The first match starts now.
(The first match of Round One begins.)
(King of Mask Singer)
This is the first match of Round One.
With the shocking voice that mesmerizes our ears,
she hopes to take over the queen's throne. Go! Go!
Lady Gaga.
(Go! Go! Lady Gaga)
(She's the star who has fans all around the world.)
Lady Gaga, go to the throne! Go! Go!
(Her fancy appearance draws attention.)
(She's amazing.)
(They are fascinated by her.)
- She looks like the real Lady Gaga. - Is she the real Lady Gaga?
Contending against her is...
the classy queen who captured the world.
Madonna loves to sing.
Madonna.
(She's as popular as Lady Gaga.)
You will get chills when you hear my voice.
Please look forward to my performance.
(Madonna is here.)
(Excited)
(Welcome)
She's Madonna.
Madonna is a little short.
Lady Gaga and Madonna are contending against each other.
(This amazing match is only possible at King of Mask Singer.)
(The two stunning stars...)
(will have a historical singing match.)
I'm excited. I'm excited.
(What kind of a performance will these divas put on...)
(to take down Young Hee?)
("Love is Cold Temptation" by Yang Soo Kyung)
- Yes. - Is it "Love Is Cold Temptation"?
(It is.)
(It's exciting from the start.)
(Lady Gaga starts singing with a loud and clear voice.)
(Her voice is irresistibly charming.)
(I love it.)
(Madonna counters her with her sexy voice.)
(Her husky voice magically appeals to the audience.)
(This performance is the real deal.)
(Let's fall into the temptation of the divas.)
(House Band)
(Her voice is delicate and charming.)
She's a veteran.
(Madonna's captivating voice pulls us towards her.)
(I love her voice.)
(Her voice is heartrendingly sorrowful.)
(The beautiful voice of Lady Gaga fills the stage.)
(Her voice contains the sorrow of a woman longing for love.)
(Why can't you love me)
(Love is cold temptation)
(But she still can't resist falling in love.)
(I can't resist it.)
(Excited)
(Madonna freely controls her breath.)
(This is so exciting.)
(Let's play hard one more time.)
(Her mysterious and clear voice sounds attractive.)
(Surprised)
(She doesn't sing loudly,)
(but her voice fascinates people.)
(Madonna's heavy-voice is added.)
(She has a great command of her voice.)
(You can't help but love her excellent vibrato.)
(Love is cold temptation)
(There's no way out from Lady Gaga's pure charm.)
(Her voice sounds clean,)
(but it's powerful.)
(No one can avoid the exciting performance.)
(You will regret it if you listen to our song only once.)
(It's the perfect harmony that you will never see again.)
(The two sexy divas, Madonna and Lady Gaga's...)
(intense and irresistible temptation)
(Everyone became one by the exciting performance.)
(Lady Gaga and Madonna made it their concert with the song.)
(It was the best!)
It's a match between Lady Gaga and Madonna. It was amazing.
The first match...
of Round One is over.
It's a neck-and-neck match between two divas. How did you like it?
Young Seok, how did you like it?
I think Madonna is our important guest.
Do you think her voice is special?
Yes. It sounds like she has trained her voice for a long time.
I guess she is a singer with more experience than me.
- She's your senior? - Yes. And she's really good,
so I guess we will get to hear her sing two more times.
You think she will move on to Round Three.
She's good enough to move on to Round Three.
That means Lady Gaga will lose this match.
In fact, I ran into her in the hallway.
- You ran into Lady Gaga? - Yes. I met her in the hallway.
When I run into masked singers, they usually avoid my eyes...
or lower their heads. But she said hi to me cheerfully.
"Hello." She sounded like this. So I thought she's a comedian.
- She's a comedian? - Yes.
But now that I heard her sing,
I'm sure she's a singer.
The tone and fit of her voice are just perfect.
I guess she's an experienced singer as well.
I don't think she's a rookie.
I'd like to tell you this first.
Lady Gaga looks like...
Kim Jang Hoon from a distance.
Kim Jang Hoon?
Kim Jang Hoon used to have the same hair color.
And she's quite tall like him.
As I watched her sing,
I thought her voice matched well with the song.
That means she's not young.
Like Joo Young Hoon's wife, Lee Yoon Mi,
she's a talented actress...
who used to work as a singer.
She might be in her late 30s or early 40s.
You all know who Madonna is.
Madonna.
Let's just say she's a mill.
- A mill? - That's a hint.
A mill.
- You don't know it? - They don't get it.
A mill. They have no idea.
- He sounds so sure giving a hint. - A mill.
- The hint is a mill. - They don't know it.
They all look puzzled.
- Jang Hyuk. - What are you talking about?
Madonna has music all over her body.
I can tell she's soaked in music.
While she sang, she danced to the song...
shaking her pelvis and shoulders. She seemed to enjoyed it.
I'm sure she's been a singer for a long time.
Her voice doesn't give an attack.
It sounded like her voice was laid back a little.
And she sang the song with a husky voice.
It's hard to understand.
- What's an attack? - It's the starting point of sounds.
She doesn't sound like this.
Her voice is more laid back.
People with a husky voice sing this way.
Think about Lee Eun Ha.
(As spring rain)
(Eun Ha sings with the first note laid back.)
She sounds just like that.
I'm sure she's used her voice for a very long time.
All right.
- If Lady Gaga... - Lady Gaga.
sang a quiet song, it would've sounded wonderful.
She didn't dance, and she only made small gestures while singing.
I guess she's a ballad singer.
- Her voice sounds pure and pretty. - I see.
Today, we have a special panelist here.
He's Kim Min Jong who was in the group, The Blue.
- Welcome. - The Blue.
It's nice to meet you.
How did you like their performance?
I'm still adjusting to this show.
Madonna, did you shoot a drama with me before?
What? That's a crucial hint.
She sings very well.
And she's charismatic.
But she's a comedian.
She's a comedian, and she shot a drama with you?
She shot a drama with me, but she sings very well.
I told him that's not her.
- Min Jong. - Hey.
Do you think you're always right?
I'm not saying that.
- That was a good one. - All right. Tell us.
- Teach him a lesson. - And see how they react.
We should be careful. Tell us the initials of her name.
- J. - J?
(Who is she?)
- J? Is that her family name? - Yes.
- Is the next initial H? - Yes.
And R?
(Flustered)
- Maybe I was mistaken. - Do you mean Jo Hye Ryun?
I was wrong.
- Is he talking about Jo Hye Ryun? - I told you.
I care about Min Jong. That's why I tried to...
- stop him. - Min Jong.
He didn't listen to me.
- She's been here before. - They are laughing.
Min Jong.
- Min Jong. - We wasted our time.
Jo Hye Ryun sings well though.
I mean, she's quite good.
- Madonna sounded like her? - She got four votes here.
I'm sorry. It's my fault.
What about Lady Gaga?
Actually, I liked...
Lady Gaga's voice very much.
At first, I thought she was a singer. But as Jang Hyuk said,
she looked a little awkward when she sang.
I guess she's an actress who sings well.
- Did I make a mistake again? - No.
I can't contradict you when you give such a vague description.
All right. Let's hear Seung Woo's opinion. He has a keen sense.
As you can see, Lady Gaga is very slim.
But her voice sounds strong.
Her voice is firm and bright.
She even looked distinguished with her gestures.
I guess she's an idol singer.
A girl group?
I think she's a member of an old girl group.
I felt the same way when she walked on to the stage.
She looked confident.
Okay. She's the original pocket girl.
She's Hwang Hye Young of Two Two. Welcome.
Hello.
(Two Two gained popularity with their refreshing charms in the 90s.)
How did you like their performance?
When Lady Gaga came on the stage,
I checked her feet, and they looked young.
When we take a photo shot,
we do something to look young.
We stand with the tiptoes put together like this.
- Like this. - The tiptoes?
She was standing that way.
That's right. If a woman in her 30s...
stand like that, she'll fall forward.
She has the body of a woman in her mid 20s.
In her mid 20s? All right.
Now it's time to hear their real voices.
Madonna will go first.
She's good at singing North Korean songs.
- That's exciting. - Please sing it for us.
She will sing "Nice to Meet You".
This is her real voice. Please sing.
(My fellow citizens)
(My brothers and sisters)
(She's giving a special performance.)
(The song sounds exciting.)
That's it.
(It was a special performance for King of Mask Singer.)
She sounds like a singer of...
Flower Bud Art Troupe.
I guess she met a lot of North Korean people...
when she had concerts in countries overseas.
Gu Ra, is she a mill?
- Yes, she is. - I have no idea what he means.
This is so embarrassing.
I think I know her, but I don't understand why he calls her a mill.
He doesn't understand what she has to do with a mill.
All right. It's Lady Gaga's turn.
She'll dance to the medley of girl group songs.
What kind of dance did she prepare?
Please show us a cute girl group dance first.
(Cute girl group dance)
(Look how cute I am.)
It's Girls' Generation.
(It's Lady Gaga's Generation.)
(Cute and lovely)
(Dancing)
(Dancing cute)
It's a medley.
It's Twice.
It's "TT".
(You don't know how I feel, you're so mean)
(Where am I?)
(She dances perfectly to the cute song.)
(She captures men's hearts.)
(She finishes it with a cute heart.)
All right.
(They can't stop smiling.)
It was a cute female idol group dance.
This time, it's a mature female idol group dance.
Music, please.
It's a mature idol group dance.
She can do idol group dance.
(It's the sexy hip dance.)
(Don't blame her for surprising you.)
She looks very mature dancing like that.
(Let's keep it going.)
Her dance continues.
It's Hyun Ah's song.
It's the dance of mature idol groups indeed.
(She dances to "Red" perfectly.)
(I'm the sexy queen today.)
(Dancing)
That's it.
That was great.
You did great. We've seen her dance now.
Da Won of SF9.
- Hello. I'm Da Won. - Welcome to our show.
SF9 is a rising idol group.
Her dance was great, but I don't think she was in charge of dancing.
She probably sings, goes on variety shows,
or works as an actress mostly. The way she danced was...
similar to the way I dance.
- She goes on variety shows? - She wouldn't be the best dancer.
I'm certain that Lady Gaga is in her 20s.
In her 20s?
If she was in her 30s,
her knees would hurt when she dances like that.
It'd be impossible to stand up so easily in those heels.
- Am I right, Nicole? - She's right.
- Really? - She's right.
- I'm sure she's in her 20s. - All right.
Now, I will announce the result of the first match of Round One.
Lady Gaga sweetly fascinated us with her pure voice,
and Madonna sexily tempted us with her charming voice.
Who will be the winner between these two?
The result will be revealed now.
(She has a clear but powerful voice.)
(Lady Gaga has charms you can't escape from.)
(Her powerful voice shows her long years of experience.)
(Madonna has deadly charms.)
Whose voice are we going to hear again in Round Two?
The winner is...
Who will be the first one to move on to Round Two?
The difference of the votes is very small.
- Really? - Really?
(It was a close match.)
It's a narrow win.
The winner is...
It's Madonna.
Madonna won.
(She has class that will last forever.)
- That's right. - Madonna.
Madonna.
The score is 59 to 40. She won by a narrow margin.
It's 59 to 40.
Madonna moves on to Round Two.
Please go back to your waiting room. Please give her a big hand.
(Thank you.)
Congratulations.
(Lady Gaga will reveal her face.)
I will work hard so I can be as good as the real Madonna.
Please support me!
People had different opinions about Lady Gaga,
whether she is a singer, an actress, or an idol singer.
We will reveal her identity with a solo performance.
Please give her a big hand.
(Her identity will be revealed now.)
(She has a pretty voice that sounds pure.)
(She seems like an actress.)
(She sang the song very well,)
(so she's probably in her 30s or 40s.)
It's a mature idol group dance.
(Is she an actress who's good at dancing?)
(Who is Lady Gaga that showed sexy dance moves?)
("The Story I Didn't Know" by IU)
I love this song.
I love this song too.
(She picked this song?)
She's good at singing ballads too.
(Her voice sounds more lyrical than in Round One.)
(She conveys the sadness of a breakup through her pure voice.)
(Her clear singing permeates through your heart.)
(She delicately sings about the wounds of the heart.)
(It's a sad stage that makes everyone hold their breath.)
Now, Lady Gaga, please take off your mask...
and reveal your face.
(Screaming)
(I can't believe this!)
What is it?
Is she a singer?
Who are you?
She is...
Han Seon Hwa, a former member of Secret, who is now...
working as an actress.
I was right.
I told you she was a singer.
(Oh, my gosh.)
(They're fussing about how their guesses were correct.)
(He stays focused on her.)
(Seon Hwa returned to the stage after a long time.)
(She shows off her charms we didn't know about.)
(I love it.)
(She carefully sings about the moments of a breakup...)
(with an emotional and mature voice.)
(She sadly expresses regrets and resentment through her singing.)
(The story)
(I didn't know about)
(Listening to her delicate singing feels like watching a drama.)
("The Story I Didn't Know" by Han Seon Hwa)
She has such a charming voice.
I'm fascinated by it.
Lady Gaga's identity is revealed.
(It's good to see you.)
Hello. I returned to the stage after a long time.
I'm Han Seon Hwa.
(She debuted as a member of Secret in 2009.)
(Her many different charms made her a popular idol singer.)
(She was Kwang Hee's wife on "We Got Married".)
(After showing her cheerful character on variety shows,)
(she started working as an actress in 2013.)
(She showed quality acting...)
(New Star Award)
(and became a recognized actress.)
(Seon Hwa's great acting is getting favorable reviews.)
(She now plays a strong policewoman on "School 2017".)
(She has shown great developments.)
(Seon Hwa has a bright future ahead of her.)
Gu Ra, you didn't know it was her, right?
I didn't exactly say her name,
but I was close.
I finished making the batter, but I didn't bake it.
I actually had a thought that she might be Seon Hwa.
I heard you did a lot of rehearsals for today's stage.
- Yes. With my friends at karaokes. - With your friends at karaokes?
I sang in karaokes and imagined you saying,
"Please take off your mask now."
I even imagined that moment.
I thought I was ready for it...
and that I wouldn't be nervous, but I was wrong.
- I guess you were nervous... - Yes.
even with your experience on variety shows.
Some people think...
you became famous through variety shows,
and that you wouldn't be a very good singer.
Some people have a bias like that. Have you felt it in any way?
It's true that I wasn't the best singer in the group.
I guess so.
I did perform on stage back then,
but I never sang by myself.
I was mostly on variety shows,
so many people just remember me by my cheerful character.
There is something you don't realize.
There are voices that people want to keep listening to.
You have that kind of a voice.
It's a big advantage. It's not something everyone can have.
- I know. - In addition to Jang Hyuk's words,
it'd be great if she sings the theme song...
when she gets to play a part in a historical drama.
Imagine a scene where she gazes at the moon dressed in hanbok.
She has a voice that will go perfect with...
those kinds of historical drama scenes.
Since she herself is an actress,
it'll be wonderful...
if she participates in singing an original sound track...
of the drama she stars in.
She came back as a singer after a long time.
She performed on the stage with her original intentions.
Please give her another round of applause!
(We'll look forward to seeing your acting and singing!)
(Laughing)
It's so fun to be on a variety show after a while.
Not long ago, I had a small gathering with my fans.
My fans told me...
that they wanted to listen to my singing.
Then I thought in mind, "I'll be appearing on King of Mask Singer."
(I'm appearing on King of Mask Singer.)
At the end of my performance,
I came to think that I wanted to enjoy like this from now on.
While acting in dramas,
I'd like to appear on many programs...
if I have a chance to show you my bright side.
And my fans. You didn't know, did you?
I hope they love this.
(Goodbye!)
As a result of Round One,
Madonna Loves to Sing wins against Han Seon Hwa...
and advances to Round Two.
It's the second match of Round One.
With his innocent passion for singing,
he turns into a singer in karaokes.
50 Cents for Karaoke Machine!
(Let's get 50 cent's worth out of it!)
Are you curious about my singing? Give me 50 cents then!
(Shaking)
(The audience gets excited as well.)
He looks experienced in playing the tambourine.
I guess he went to karaokes often.
Against him...
is the handsome man who took over the roller disco.
Who Stepped on My Face, Roller Boy!
(The stage becomes a roller disco.)
Follow me if you can!
Let's head to the emotional roller disco!
(His appearance makes the panelists expect a lot from him.)
I think he's a humorous person.
(Teenagers used all their pocket money for these two back then.)
(But only one can be our hero!)
(With what kind of performance will they catch our attention?)
("The Day Long Ago" by Yoon Jong Shin)
(Goodness)
(His warm voice carefully touches our emotions.)
(It's like a first love that brings back our old memories.)
(His calm voice comes differently.)
(His clear voice is full of innocent emotions.)
(Who is he?)
(The emotional colors spread.)
(Impressed)
(He's delicate enough to portray the longing heart.)
(His voice is natural and unsophisticated.)
(Trying to guess)
(They become more curious about his identity.)
(I think I know who he is.)
(His vocalization sounds sorrowful as it fills the sad emotion.)
(He sings with his emotions desperately.)
(They express their sadness in different ways.)
(They flexibly build up harmony.)
(Oh my goodness.)
(He controls his emotion to express it calmly.)
(His sorrowful voice touches our heartstrings.)
(The song buries the hurtful memories...)
(which makes your heart sore.)
(It's a sorrowful harmony that reminds you of the past memories.)
(We're impressed!)
It's so touching.
(They can't easily get out of it.)
It touched my heart.
The second match of Round One just ended.
Kai, please share your opinion.
In case of Roller Boy, I could hear...
Cho Yong Pil's nasal voice...
while he was singing.
- I found it similar. - Cho Yong Pil?
(Precious things are next to you)
(Yong Pil's nasal voice is his trademark.)
I must say he has an attractive nasal voice...
that will make people fall for him.
That's how I felt.
Karaoke Machine put his emotions...
fully into the song.
I think he's a very sentimental person.
His husky voice...
went perfect in delivering...
his honest emotions.
In conclusion,
I think he's an innocent artist who loves music.
Do you admit to his comment? You showed a thumps-up.
He did such a great job in beautifying me.
(He's an expert in beautifying all the guests.)
I think you all know already.
Like we can't cover the sun with our palms,
it's a fact that his skills are way below the average.
(He refuses to give a good comment.)
Let's admit what has to be admitted.
He's straightforward after all.
We need to admit to it.
But he knows very well about his singing skills.
Judging by how he decided to come out despite his skills,
he must be a top-class actor...
whom the staff worked so hard to cast.
When we say Kai's good in commenting, we use this gesture.
But he did this instead.
(While Kai was giving his comment,)
(he raised his thumb to show that he had something to say.)
(He's good.)
So I think he's quite aged.
I think he's in his 50s or 60s.
50s or 60s?
Maybe he's in his 50s who acts in plays.
Or perhaps pantomime.
I think he's a professional actor.
I can't tell you his field of work exactly,
- but it's sure he's top-class. - Right?
But I predict he'll receive less than 10 votes.
The lowest number of votes were four so far.
Someone received four votes before.
I hope you receive more votes than that.
What's your opinion, Jang Hyuk?
I don't think Roller Boy is someone who's aged.
I think he's in his 20s.
- 20s? - Yes.
I think Karaoke Machine is in his early 50s.
In his early 50s.
I thought of this while listening to Roller Boy's singing.
"Our queen, Young Hee, must have..."
"started applying her makeup now."
(So that she can take off her mask)
He has such a charming voice.
(I want to keep my throne for a long time!)
I've never heard of that kind of voice before.
He has such a unique voice.
Should I say his voice is melancholic?
The voice comforts people's depressed emotions well.
That's how I think about his voice.
He must have protruding cheekbones.
- Cheekbones. - Here?
Singers who make that kind of voice...
have protruding cheekbones for certain.
- Let's say developed cheekbones. - Yes, developed cheekbones.
Did you find any of their voices familiar, Hye Young?
- Karaoke Machine? - I think...
Karaoke Machine is a comedian...
- who looks good in his outfit now. - A comedian?
- A comedian... - I have someone in mind.
- Who? - Yangbaechu.
Yangbaechu?
- The former Yangbaechu. - He now goes by Cho Sae Ho.
He can sing very well.
- Really? - Yes.
- He can sing very well. - I haven't heard him sing before.
Karaoke Machine is annoyed.
- He can sing very well. - Cho Sae Ho is shorter than him.
Really?
I haven't seen him in person.
I see. Karaoke Machine is annoyed.
Could he be Cho Sae Ho?
Let's take a look at the masked singers' specialties.
Karaoke Machine prepared a dance...
for Psy's "New Face". Music, please.
(The dance for Psy's "New Face")
(Powerful)
(I will have the most amount of fun with 50 cents.)
(One more time)
(It's a wild performance that kills 2 birds with 1 stone.)
(Let me have another round.)
(I will take over the arcade.)
(He bounces in a sexy way.)
(His thrusts make people want to ask for a refund.)
(I am the new face.)
That's it.
(He doesn't have the joints of someone in his 50s.)
It doesn't look like he is over 50 years old.
I found a clue.
He became excessively annoyed when we brought up Yangbaechu.
He keeps his hands on his stomach.
There is someone I know who does that a lot.
- Who is that? - It's a close friend of Yangbaechu,
Nam Chang Hee.
- Nam Chang Hee. - He has a similar build.
Moreover, the jacket he is wearing is too big for him.
Look at the length of the sleeves.
- I see. The sleeves are long. - His arms are very short.
That's why I think he may be Cho Sae Ho's friend, Nam Chang Hee.
- Nam Chang Hee. - Yes.
Earlier, you said he is a top-class actor.
That's what makes this situation...
- a comedy. - A comedy.
People like him are at the producer's beck and call.
A single phone call is enough to make them run over.
- They will come at a request. - That's right.
"Since he can't sing at all, he must be someone famous."
"What is this?" People will be surprised.
I see. This time, Roller Boy...
will show off his dance skills.
He will recreate the go-go dance...
at a roller skating rink.
Music, please.
(His movements show good cheer.)
"Sunny"!
(It's me.)
(Dancing diligently)
These dance moves look familiar.
(Let's see.)
(He repeats the dance moves.)
(Ta-da)
(He continues to repeat the dance moves.)
(He is out of ideas.)
(He suddenly steps forward.)
Let's end it here.
Hye Young, you are closely related to everything retro.
Would you show us the go-go dance?
What?
You got her.
(Show us.)
Let's see the go-go dance. Music, please.
(She dominated the music industry as a member of Two Two.)
(This is it.)
She is the best.
(She brings out the girl with retro charms.)
(The middle-aged men smile from ear to ear.)
(She commands King of Mask Singer.)
(The return of Hwang Hye Young)
(Bravo)
- She exceeded my expectations. - Her facial expression was perfect.
She exceeded my expectations.
She is the best.
This time, Karaoke Machine will show a specialty...
that suits his nickname.
He is a big fan...
of Kim Min Jong and Kim Hyun Chul.
That's how he has memorized the karaoke numbers...
- for all of their songs. - Really?
If you yell out the title of the song,
Karaoke Machine will play it...
without looking up the number.
- Really? - Yes.
This is really happening.
Min Jong, please pick a song first.
Please play "Beautiful Pain".
- "Beautiful Pain". - "Beautiful Pain".
- "Beautiful Pain". - Yes.
- Do you know the number? - "Beautiful Pain".
Please wait.
8, 8,
3, 6.
8, 8, 3.
8, 8, 3, 6.
("Beautiful Pain" by Kim Min Jong)
(That's incredible.)
(Does he really have the numbers memorized?)
That's incredible.
Gosh, you startled me.
- Thank goodness. - Shall I lower the key?
- No, it's okay. - I will leave it as it is.
- Please sing. - Min Jong will sing the song.
"Beautiful Pain". That's incredible. 8, 8, 3, 6.
Min Jong is on the screen too.
That's how Min Jong looked in the past.
(His husky voice fills the studio.)
(This is nice.)
(They take a trip down memory lane.)
(Min Jong continues to melt women's hearts.)
You will get a score at the end.
(Be free)
It's a masterpiece of a song.
(His beauty was at its height.)
(Even his worry lines looked cool.)
(He is still beautiful.)
(They are absorbed.)
(All men have sung this song back in the days.)
(A song in our memories, "Beautiful Pain")
All right.
(My heart melted.)
Kim Min Jong.
Let's end it here. Min Jong sang "Beautiful Pain".
That was incredible. It's Hyun Chul's turn.
Play "A Relationship".
"A Relationship".
It must be a hard one.
Did you memorize the number for "The Downfall of Moon"?
"A Relationship" by Kim Hyun Chul is...
- 8, 2, - 8.
- 0, - 8, 2, 0.
two. It should be right.
- 8, 2, 0, 2. - Yes. It's a bit confusing.
Two.
(It's correct.)
(My goodness.)
(They acknowledge his talent.)
(The original singer can't close his mouth.)
(Happy)
(Let's listen to another song.)
(How fascinating!)
(He sings with the sentimentality of the past.)
(It's nice.)
(His gentle voice brings back memories.)
(They fall into the sentimentality of the 80s.)
(I fly into the sky)
(When I am with you, I feel like I am flying)
("A Relationship" is the best song of love confession.)
I will end it here. Thank you.
(It was a treat to their ears.)
It feels like a team dinner.
That was fascinating.
Karaoke Machine made it feel like we are having a team dinner.
We should have invited Min Jong as a masked singer.
Instead, we invited him as a panelist and made him sing.
We got everything out of him.
(The giving Min Jong)
All right. Now, I will announce...
the result of the second match of Round One.
My goodness.
I will announce the result of the second match of Round One.
(They can tell what the result will be like.)
He must have broken the record.
Records are meant to be broken.
Jo Hye Ryun got four votes.
It's a shocking result.
Records are meant to be broken.
(Jo Hye Ryun made a record by receiving 4 votes.)
(Will her record be broken today?)
I will announce the result.
Between Karaoke Machine with a pure voice that brings back memories...
and Roller Boy with a gentle voice that touches the heart.
Let's find out who will move on to Round Two.
(He delivered his sorrow with his unadulterated purity.)
(Karaoke Machine has a simple and soulful voice.)
(His voice reached the depth of the heart.)
(Roller Boy touched everyone.)
Between Karaoke Machine and Roller Boy,
who will win...
and move on to Round Two?
The winner is...
Show us the score.
I am curious about the score.
(Will the result be as they expected?)
The winner is...
Roller Boy won.
(It was a predicted result.)
What's the final score?
(Good job, Karaoke Machine.)
I am curious about the final score.
It's an obvious result.
Roller Boy won.
It's surprising, right?
It's a surprising result, right?
It's surprising. You received 21 votes.
The final score is 78 to 21.
21 people voted for Karaoke Machine.
Roller Boy had a landslide victory.
Please move to the waiting room.
Please give him a big hand.
(The identity of Karaoke Machine will be revealed soon.)
In Round Two,
I'll try to put on a better performance.
(He's excited.)
You got 21 votes.
It's more than I expected. You look very satisfied too.
Some said you're over 50, some said you're Cho Sae Ho...
or Nam Chang Hee. There were many opinions.
I can surely tell you...
that it was hard to cast him...
and that he is top-class in his field.
I guarantee you.
Who will be Karaoke Machine?
Please find it out while listening to his solo.
Please give him a round of applause.
(His face will be revealed soon.)
(He is a pure artist who loves music so much.)
(Someone who the production crew put a lot of effort to invite)
(He might be a top-class actor.)
(Will it be Cho Sae Ho?)
(He could be Cho Sae Ho...)
(or Nam Chang Hee.)
(They had various opinions.)
(Who is Karaoke Machine?)
("Jealousy" by Yoo Seung Beom)
(He starts the song in a plain style.)
(His voice is like that of a boy who is in his first love.)
(I don't expect too much)
(He just longs for love with his innocent voice.)
(He is cute.)
(Thanks to his clean voice without fancy techniques,)
(it's easier to feel his true heart.)
(Finally, it's time for him to reveal his face.)
Now, Karaoke Machine, please take off your mask...
and show your face.
- Why? - Ladies look so happy to see him.
Please take off your mask and show your face.
He is the Harry Potter of Korea.
It's Choi Hyun Woo, the magician.
(Incredible)
(Choi Hyun Woo, the magician?)
(The panelists are at a loss for words.)
He is the Harry Potter of Korea.
It's Choi Hyun Woo, the magician.
(The rope from the hat is on fire.)
(And it turns into a wand instantly.)
What's going on?
(It's a dramatic reveal topped with a magic trick.)
(No wonder he is a magician that mesmerizes the audience right away.)
(Without his mask, his voice sounds even purer.)
(With his boyish look and voice,)
(he put on a pure and natural performance.)
(Spreading)
(Here they are.)
(It was such a special performance that has never been done before.)
It was awesome.
This is magic itself.
Now that I think of it, he's dressed like a magician.
We were completely tricked.
Hello. I'm Magician Choi Hyun Woo. Nice to meet you.
(He made a debut as a professional magician in 1997.)
(It's been 21 years now and he is one of the best Korean magicians.)
(He features dominating scales and creative ideas.)
(He got the Best Award and Originality Award in FISM.)
(He won so many magic competitions in and out of the country.)
(Later, he appeared on TV shows with his great showmanship.)
(From breathtaking and dangerous teleportation...)
(to close-up magic that happens right in front of your eyes)
(He satisfies all our five senses.)
(It's beyond magic.)
(He is in charge of stage settings and directing too.)
(He changed the paradigm of Korean magic.)
(Choi Hyun Woo, the Harry Potter of Korea)
Someone said you might be over 50 years old before,
but he turned 40 this year.
It's been 20 years since he debuted.
- Right. - Congratulations.
Well... my young face is magic.
Okay.
To celebrate your 20th year as a magician, you decided to be...
on King of Mask Singer, didn't you?
Yes. I've only worked on magic...
for the past 20 years.
So I wanted to show you a different side of me.
I practiced this song for about two months and a half.
- You did? - Actually, I'm tone-deaf.
You may think magicians don't have anything to do with music.
But when magicians design magic performances,
they listen to all the songs, choose them,
and edit them on their own.
Since we do that in every performance, we're close to music.
So I wanted to show that side of me, but it was not easy at all.
Someone said you were like Cho Sae Ho...
or his friend Nam Chang Hee.
They said something like that.
In fact, there is someone who sang with me in a karaoke.
- Really? - Yes. It's Cho Jang Hyuk.
- He even went to a karaoke with me. - My goodness.
- Well... - So...
Actually, I thought Hyun Woo...
was a good singer.
- But today... - You were quite drunk then.
I thought...
- You drank alcohol. - I...
- He was very drunk. - I really thought he was good.
I didn't know he was this bad until today.
(He blames Hyun Woo because he is sorry that he didn't recognize him.)
Hyun Chul went to the middle school I went to.
- He did? - Yes. He came to my performances.
- I went there many times. - Goodness.
So I thought he would recognize my voice easily,
- Your song... - but I am disappointed in you.
I never imagined that Hyun Woo would be here at all.
I know he is amazingly charismatic on stage.
But when he was here today...
(Anticipating)
I don't know.
Then could you show us the charisma...
you exude when you do a magic show?
(Excited)
Since you asked me on the spot, I'll show you something simple.
- Something simple. - Without using any device,
I'll show you some magic.
- That's the real magic. - Right.
First, why don't you pretend to be a beautiful assistant?
Me?
- Are you sure? - Yes. You're a beautiful assistant.
- Me? - Yes. For now.
- Will you be okay with that? - Yes.
Is there any specific magic you want to see with him?
Please tell me anything that comes to your mind.
The magic where you poke him.
The magic where you cut the body.
- Poke him? - And cut him.
- Poke and cut him? - It's famous kind of magic.
Please don't cut me.
Okay. First,
I'll do the magic where I poke him because you want me to.
Could you unbutton this for a moment so that I can poke you?
- Please show your belly. - You want me to show my belly?
Please show your belly just for a short time.
- Do I have to? - Yes, you have to.
- Like this. - Because I have ab muscles...
- Ab muscles? Okay. - I really do.
Please stay as you are.
(What is he going to do?)
Please take a deep breath.
I will poke him from here like this.
Then does your hand come out in the front?
You must be crazy.
(He doesn't care about the worries of the beauty.)
I'm not dying, am I?
(Without any preparation,)
(it will happen on the spot.)
(It's difficult magic where he penetrates a human body.)
(Will he succeed or fail?)
(Amazing)
(It looked so realistic.)
Are you sure I'm not bleeding?
(It's intact.)
- Am I not bleeding? - I was shocked.
Please give him a big hand.
(Goodness)
It was simple but really impressive.
That was great.
Through King of Mask Singer today,
Hyun Woo showed his passion about music.
Please give it up for him.
Thank you.
Choi Hyun Woo, the magician.
(We'll keep looking forward to your fantastic performances.)
He was Karaoke Machine.
All my family members can't sing.
After my mom found that I'm coming to MBC,
she asked which show I will be on.
I answered, "It's King of Mask Singer."
And she told me not to cause a nuisance.
I got the courage from watching Seo Min Jung on the show.
I thought people like me...
could encourage those around them.
Magic is usually thought to be...
something impossible by many people.
In fact, music was something impossible to me.
Through King of Mask Singer,
I think the thing impossible turned into...
something possible and I feel grateful for that.
Although I can't sing very well,
I was able to get as many as 21 votes because I tried my best.
So I was encouraged a lot.
It's the third match of Round One.
Her spotless voice will save the humanity.
Radium and Blues, Madam Curie.
I am Madam Curie, the student of singing.
I'm going to win the Nobel Prize in music.
(She's elegant.)
(Please sing us the song you studied.)
Is it "Radium and blues"?
She's beautiful.
She's elegant.
Contending against her...
is this singer who refuses the universal music.
He writes the theory of relativity with his voice.
Genius Scientist at Singing School, Einstein.
Music is better than science.
I am the music man, Einstein.
(Music is science.)
(We will look forward to hearing ingenious music.)
(The beautiful Einstein came straight out of the magazine.)
Today's show is very refined.
We only have intellectuals.
They can't be good at singing too.
(It's the competition of the genius scientists.)
(How will they sing scientifically?)
("Like a Child" by Kim Dong Ryul)
(It's lovely.)
(His voice gently hugs our hearts.)
(Goodness)
(Her voice is as pure as morning dew.)
(It's unbelievable.)
(The two scientists create a perfect harmony.)
(Oh, dear.)
(The warm voice heals our hearts.)
(The performance overflows with sweetness.)
They are very intellectual.
They sound as if they are whispering to each other.
(They are really good.)
(Their performance make us open our hearts.)
(Madam Curie's clear voice is like transparent water.)
(Einstein's low voice calmly supports her voice.)
(The excitement tickling our hearts makes us excited like children.)
(How music heals us cannot be explained by science.)
(Thank you for coming to me. Thank you for making me dream.)
(You are a gift to me)
(I love you)
(The best scientists came up with the perfect music theory.)
It's the romance of the century.
Isn't she your type?
- You mean her voice. - Yes.
They sing like intellectuals.
You just watched the two scientists' lovely performance.
Young Seok is the scientist among the panelists.
Watching them sing reminded me...
that there's glory in the sky, peace on the earth,
and love on the stage.
Actually, the lights...
reminded me of the divine glory.
(This is the paradise.)
Listening to their song on the earth,
the panelists looked very peaceful.
It seemed like their love was coming true on the stage.
That's how it felt.
Madam Curie's voice is...
like flowers on silk.
(Goodness)
- Flowers on silk. - Yes.
Her voice is flawlessly beautiful.
She also has the ability to deliver her voice near to our ears.
He kept praising her. He said he really likes her.
He's a little biased.
He's very generous to female masked singers.
How was Einstein?
Einstein's song makes tomorrow feel like a day off.
Tomorrow is a work day,
but his singing makes it feel so peaceful that...
it feels as if tomorrow is not a work day.
We shouldn't hang out with people with that voice.
No matter how hard I try to sing well,
I will lose all the girls...
to a man who sings with such a sweet voice.
(She nods.)
You shouldn't hang out with him.
- You can't. His voice is too sweet. - You will be at a disadvantage.
He must've sung a lot when he went to karaokes.
Even if he doesn't try so hard, he would be able to..
make girls fall for him.
What if he's handsome too?
If he turns out to be handsome,
that will be unfair.
- His voice is too good. - His voice is too sweet.
I'll comment on Madam Curie.
When a man and a woman sing a duet together...
Usually, the woman's voice is 4 to 5 keys higher.
If the man sings sol, the girl has to sing re.
For a woman to sing a man's song as it is,
- it is too high. - Right.
Yes. But she sang it without changing the key.
She must've been pressured to sing it.
She's not scared by how high or low the notes are.
He complimented Madam Curie.
Kai, what did you think?
I don't know. I'm in love.
Madam Curie's voice...
is angelic.
- It's angelic. - Her voice is so beautiful.
At first, she mainly sang with...
falsetto and head voice.
(Her elegant falsetto raised the class of the performance.)
When the tune got higher,
she sang with chest voice.
The balance was very good.
It was more than perfect to melt men's hearts.
That's what I wanted to say.
I want to see her for a long time.
I think I'm going to become her fan from now on.
I don't know if she's a musical actress or what.
But I can't wait to perform with her.
That's how much I like...
- her voice. - You want her voice.
Madam Curie is...
- in a love triangle. - Who are the two lovers?
Kai and Min Jong.
Min Jong. Is Min Jong in love with her too?
- Yes. Min Jong too. - Min Jong loves her too.
She's got a beautiful voice and a relaxed figure.
(Min Jong is very flustered.)
There's an English expression, "Love at first sight."
It's about falling in love at first sight.
Min Jong must've fallen in love with her at first sight.
There's a love triangle.
Min Jong, is this accusation true?
Yes. How can any man...
resist falling in love with her after hearing her voice?
I'm sure even women fell in love with her.
"When you told me you love me". How should I express myself?
- At that part... - He fell in love at first sight.
It reminded me of a refreshing morning.
It's as if morning suddenly came...
while listening to her singing.
I felt that way. It was impressive.
Thank you very much.
If you had to choose one person between them,
who would you choose?
(Thinking carefully)
(Nervous)
Since this is my first time to meet him, I'll choose Kai.
I'll choose Kai.
- You will choose Kai? - It's her first time to meet him?
- All right. - That means...
She's met Min Jong before?
Have we met before?
That's it. Let's move on.
Maybe they met on a TV show or something.
Is she a member...
of girl groups in my agency?
I guess they both are idol singers.
He says they are members of idol groups.
It's time to fall in love with their charms.
I'll let you hear their real voices.
Einstein will imitate the voice of Raccoon from the movie, "Tazza".
It's Detective Raccoon. Please show us.
(Detective Raccoon of "Tazza")
Monkfish got off the train at Gyeongseong station.
Gosh, I shouldn't have said that.
That's it.
It was his real voice.
Now, he'll make the sound of heart beats.
(Amazed)
(Gulp)
I can't do that. He's good.
He's so talented.
He can also imitate Min Jong's voice.
Einstein says he can imitate Min Jong's voice.
Please show us. It's Min Jong's voice.
(You)
(Today)
(He's getting cold sweats.)
That's it.
He doesn't even know Min Jong.
I'm sure he's an idol singer.
All he did is hold his nose.
All right. Now, it's time...
to hear Madam Curie's real voice.
She will imitate Jung In's voice,
but it will change into Han Young Ae.
Let's hear her real voice.
(The girl who can't say goodbye, the boy who can't leave)
(The two of us are no longer in love, so)
(Is there anybody?)
That's it.
(She's good.)
I almost heard her original voice.
- Is she famous? - Of course.
- Very famous? - She's very famous.
You'll be surprised once she takes off her mask.
She has one more thing to show.
She will make the sound of wiping windows.
- That's it. - I got it!
You did?
She's Seen Hyun Hee.
(Startled)
She just sounded like her.
Don't you think?
She sounds just like that. Think about it.
Am I right?
Yes, she sounds like her.
(Is it Seen Hyun Hee's voice?)
It's very similar.
I think she's Seen Hyun Hee. Isn't that her?
Seen Hyun Hee and Kim Root.
Now, it's time...
to see Einstein's specialty.
He prepared girl group dance moves.
He's a scientist dancing to girl group songs.
He says he likes "Abracadabra"...
by Brown Eyed Girls. Music, please.
(Einstein spent his whole life as a scientist.)
He's Einstein dancing to "Abracadabra".
(Stretching)
He looks restrained.
(Einstein's seduction)
(Shaking pelvis)
(His dance moves are extraordinary.)
He's a good dancer.
He's good.
(Chic)
(The scientific leg angle)
(Sexy)
(His dance moves are based on intensive research.)
That's it.
Einstein is very attractive.
- I think he's old. - I'm sure he's old.
I think he's a comedian.
(They are confused about Einstein's identity.)
- I don't think he's an idol singer. - He's a middle-aged man.
- A middle-aged man? - Yes.
The lower part of his belly sticks out when he dances.
(Criticism)
His belly sticks out?
And he looked silly shaking his pelvis.
His belly sticks out.
- He's in his 40s. - He's in his 40s?
He's not an idol singer.
I don't think he's that old.
He's wearing the pants low.
That's because his belly sticks out.
He's not fat though.
- When your belly sticks out... - His belt is holding it.
That's why I talked about his belly.
After he showed his dance,
they started talking about a middle-aged man.
Look at him sweeping his hair back.
Look at that.
Look at him sweeping his hair.
Please try to look young.
His opponent, Madam Curie, will dance...
to "Abracadabra" at twice the speed.
It's "Abracadabra" at twice the speed.
Music, please.
(The music sounds extraordinary.)
It's fast.
(What is he doing?)
It's really fast.
Is it okay?
(I will show you...)
(a young girl's dance moves.)
She never misses the details.
She has attention to detail.
She's good.
Amazing.
(She casts away the prejudice against her...)
(and starts a new life with her dance moves.)
There's more.
It's twice the speed.
That's it. It's over.
She slipped a little in the middle of it.
- She slipped a little. - She stepped on her skirt.
Please understand that.
If you don't mind, Nicole, can you dance for us?
We can compare her dance to Madam Curie to see if she's an idol.
Can you dance to a Kara song at twice the speed?
- Okay. - Please.
It's "Mister" by Kara. Music, please.
It's twice the speed.
(The dance moves captivated men's hearts in 2009.)
(She shakes her pelvis at twice the speed.)
(Mesmerized)
That's it.
(Unbelievable!)
She's great.
That's how an idol singer dances.
It will help you figure out if Madam Curie is an idol singer.
(Smiling)
Seung Woo, what do you think?
As I watched his specialty,
I don't think he's that old.
He's not old?
I think he's in his 20s.
That's my guess.
And Madam Curie.
I think she's an idol singer.
She's an idol singer? Nicole, do you agree?
Yes. When she danced to "Abracadabra",
she seemed to know...
what makes her body look good.
So I thought she was an idol singer.
That's decisive evidence.
She's probably a member of a girl group.
- Yes. - I see.
She keeps showing off her body line.
I think that's enough.
Now, I will announce...
the result of the third match of Round One.
Madam Curie added luster to the song with her clear voice.
Einstein is an emotional genius with a lovely voice.
Which one do you think deserves...
to win the Nobel Prize for voice?
I'll now reveal the winner of this match.
It's a match between Madam Curie and Einstein.
(It's an exclusive beautiful voice.)
(Madam Curie has the ethereal voice.)
(Einstein's voice is as sweet as chocolate.)
(His voice warms the hearts of people.)
Who is the third winner...
that will move on to Round Two?
The winner is...
- The winner is... - The winner is...
Who's the winner?
Show us.
The winner is...
Radium and Blues, Madam Curie.
I knew it!
Madam Curie!
(They will get to hear her chemical voice more.)
I liked Einstein's voice though.
With a score of 68 to 31,
Madam Curie beats Einstein...
and moves on to Round Two.
Please go back to your waiting room.
Please give her a big hand.
She got 68 votes.
I'll let you hear...
my voice better in Round Two. See you later.
It's time to find out...
who Einstein is.
We will reveal his identity...
with his solo performance prepared for Round Two.
Please give him a big hand.
(Einstein has a heartwarming voice.)
(He sounds like a handsome man.)
(He looks a little shy.)
(He wasn't shy when he danced.)
("Jazz Cafe" by Shin Hae Chul)
It's "Jazz Cafe"!
(The melody of "Jazz Cafe" reminds them of the 90s.)
(His voice surprises everyone's ears.)
(He sings softly as if he's whispering,)
(but his heavy, low-pitched voice hits your ears.)
(Everyone is already fascinated...)
(by his rap at the beginning.)
(Amazed)
(Everyone admires Einstein's voice.)
- It's so cool. - His voice sounds so familiar.
(He expresses the feelings of the original song...)
(with his sexy and charming low-pitched voice.)
(Einstein takes us to a dreamlike night...)
(at a jazz cafe in the 90s like a fantasy.)
(Great job.)
Man
Woman
(Dancing)
(Mesmerized)
Now, Einstein, please take off your mask...
and reveal your face.
(Who is it?)
(Screaming)
(Oh, my goodness!)
Gosh, they look shocked!
(Who made you scream like that?)
He is...
Oh Min Suk, the great, handsome actor.
(He really was an actor.)
It was Min Suk.
(It's the familiar face you often see on TV.)
(It makes your jaw drop.)
(He's so handsome.)
(His singing ability and techniques are...)
(as good as those of a professional singer.)
(Dazed)
(Min Suk has a sexy voice...)
(which not a lot of people noticed.)
(It's unfair that he can even fascinate people by singing,)
(not by his acting or appearance.)
(Sing for me!)
("Jazz Cafe" sung by Oh Min Suk's charming voice)
(It was great!)
- He's so handsome. - It was amazing.
(They're drunk with his singing.)
Please say hello to the viewers.
Hello. Einstein was me, Oh Min Suk.
(He drew people's attention on "Misaeng" in 2014.)
(He became popular with his famous line, "See you tomorrow.")
(He showed impressive acting with various roles...)
(on "Kill Me, Heal Me", "Secrets of Women", and "All About My Mom",)
(and won Best Actor Award in 2016.)
(He's now playing a villain on "The King in Love".)
(Oh Min Suk, a great actor with many different charms)
I think many people remember you...
as one of the cast of "Misaeng". Was your character Mr. Kang?
- That's right. - Mr. Kang, the cold man.
Because of that drama, people often think...
I'd be a cold person who is hard to approach.
My fellow actors on the drama I'm working on now...
found it hard to talk to me at first as well.
I'd like to take this opportunity to let people know...
that I'm not that kind of a person and they can talk to me casually.
I can be a good friend. I'm actually very playful.
I realized it when you danced to "Abracadabra".
The panelists even said it's not fair...
that you have such a good voice and a handsome face.
You have a great voice, and you're handsome too.
I'm flattered.
Let me tell you what's even more unfair.
When he was a student, he was at the top of his class.
(Oh, my.)
He's known as a perfect man who even...
studied in Canada.
I was at the top of my class in middle school once,
and my parents thought I'd be the one to bring honor to our family.
That's why they sent me and my brother to Canada.
They sent us to Canada,
but I fell in love with musical instruments.
- You didn't study? - I neglected my studies.
I really love music.
I'm not a good singer, but I'm very interested in music.
I'd like to say something about that.
I write down my opinions about the singers here, right?
About Einstein, I wrote, "He seems to love music very much."
He loves music so much that...
he was very nervous.
I think he was hoping people will notice that he likes music.
- I guess you felt it. - Yes.
(Min Suk's affection for music is strong.)
People say a certain voice gives you a sense of trust.
Like Seong Ju said,
I watched many of Min Suk's dramas like "Misaeng".
I wanted to remember his voice,
and it was hard not to remember it.
No matter what kind of roles he plays in the future,
the sense of trust Min Suk gives to the viewers...
will not disappear. I became certain of that after watching...
his performance today.
Thank you.
He turned into a charming singer from a cold, sophisticated man...
and delighted everyone. It was Oh Min Suk.
Please give him a big round of applause.
Thank you.
(We hope you'll have a bright future.)
I can't remember how I finished the song.
I was very nervous,
but the whole process was really fun.
I think I'll be brave enough to sing in front of others now.
I will try to show you the cheerful and funny side of me...
rather than the cold side that I show on dramas.
Please look forward to it. Thank you.
Radium and Blues, Madam Curie defeated Oh Min Suk...
and moved on to Round Two.
(The last match of Round One)
The last match of Round One.
He's a hot guy who draws everyone's attention when he starts singing.
Water Park VIP, Flamingo!
(Water Park VIP, Flamingo)
(The water park has opened.)
(Go on a vacation with Flamingo and his music.)
He seems like a middle-aged man.
His opponent is...
a jukebox inside a house that quit chattering...
and started singing instead.
Parrot of Few Words!
(He can sing as well as he chatters.)
He seems to be rather talkative.
It's a match between two men.
I think both of them will be good.
(They're two birds in colorful outfits.)
(It's a match of two great birds.)
(Flamingo, the promoter of water parks)
(Parrot, the cute jukebox)
("Always" by Bon Jovi)
Is this "Always"?
It's Bon Jovi's song.
(It's a great song of Bon Jovi.)
It's Bon Jovi's song.
("Always" is a true rock ballad.)
(He has a tough, yet mellow voice.)
(It's a manly voice filled with sorrow.)
(Parrot's voice sounds similar but also different.)
(His dramatic singing touches your heart.)
(Flamingo's husky voice hits your ears.)
(It's followed by...)
(Parrot's sexy, low-pitched voice.)
(He sings stably in his wide vocal range.)
(The song has different charms from a sweet ballad.)
(His singing feels liberating like a waterfall.)
(She's too absorbed in their song to eat her food.)
(The harmony of two men is...)
(merged into the rock ballad.)
(Their harmony sounds manly and fascinating.)
(They're really good.)
(It's hard not to like them.)
(Parrot's voice is soft, yet powerful.)
(Flamingo's voice is sorrowful, yet high-pitched.)
(His voice tone makes your heart ache.)
(Their manly duet is both fierce and sorrowful.)
(They sing of their lover's void.)
(His simple and neat voice tone)
(The two men's desperate shouting...)
(portrays the emotions of solitude and loneliness.)
(They're immersed in rock ballad.)
(Their charisma captures the audience's hearts.)
(With his voice full of emotions,)
(he sings out of regrets explosively.)
(And the wild Flamingo)
(The two men express their broken hearts.)
(His deep voice makes your hearts ache.)
(The amazing duet performance makes you focused.)
(His vocalization is so refreshing...)
(that it reminds people of cool dongchimi.)
(Impressed)
(The harmony between the two different voices)
(They deliver the heartbreaking emotions in each note they sing.)
(From low notes to high notes, their harmony is just perfect.)
(We want to listen to their "Always" all the time.)
(Rock and roll!)
Awesome! They're so cool!
I think both of them are rockers.
(The performance still lingers in their minds.)
The final match of Round One ended.
Hyun Chul, please tell us your opinion.
When it comes to rock or heavy metal genres,
there are broadly two different vocal characters.
For example, Yim Jae Beum and Kim Jong Seo were...
both a member of Sinawe, but had different types of vocalization.
In case of Jae Beum, his voice is thick and rough.
He sings powerfully and explosively.
On the other hand, Jong Seo has a thin voice,
but it's incredibly high-pitched.
The way Flamingo sings is like that of Jong Seo.
Like Jong Seo?
The way Parrot sings is like that of Jae Beum.
I can't wait to find out whom the audience has chosen.
If we're to choose...
- between Jae Beum and Jong Seo... - Exactly.
Like you mentioned before, I think Flamingo...
is like Freddie Mercury.
His voice is high-toned.
And his standing posture...
tells me that he'll look natural to be the protagonist of musicals...
like "Hedwig and the Angry Inch".
So I think he's a musical actor.
And in case of Parrot, I think...
Have you heard of the word, one-hit wonder?
I think he was once a member of a skilled rock band...
which became a one-hit wonder.
- He's an unlucky rock vocalist? - That's right.
Flamingo is a musical actor, and Parrot is a rock vocalist.
I don't think Parrot is a rock vocalist.
That's what I think.
And I think Flamingo is a rocker for certain.
That's the opposite from my opinion.
You're also a rocker.
I think Parrot is a rock vocalist,
and Flamingo is someone who loves rock music.
- But he's very good in... - Really?
imitating rock vocalization.
- Total opposite. - You think differently.
Right.
Min Jong himself is also a rocker.
My mentality became weak because of Einstein.
I was flustered, then came back to my senses quickly.
This is the final match of Round One, you see.
You're supposed to get the hang of it by now.
I realized you have to watch this program comfortably at home.
I was so touched by the performance that I couldn't see it.
- It's best to watch this at home? - Right, you have to.
Who do you think is a rocker?
- Tell us. - I also think...
Parrot is a rocker.
Parrot.
I was reminded of...
the musical actor, Oh Man Seok, when I watched Flamingo perform.
- Oh Man Seok? - Yes.
Man Seok...
- Min Seok just came out. - It was Min Seok just then.
Man Seok this time.
- Man Seok. - Are both of them here today?
It's possible.
- Because... - It could be a coincidence.
- It's possible. - The way...
I saw him performing gestures, he seemed like an actor.
They looked like those of a musical actor.
- So I think it's... - In your opinion,
Parrot is a rocker and Flamingo is a musical actor.
I guess it'll be easier for you to guess...
once you hear their real voices.
Let's hear from Parrot first.
He'll also...
imitate Detective Racoon from "Tazza".
Mr. Pyung had his right arm cut off.
He's better.
He's better than Min Seok.
(His imitation is better than that of Min Seok.)
This time, he'll mimic Jeon In Kwon's voice.
Please show us.
(Groaning)
(That was short but thick.)
All right. Goodness.
We expected a lot.
Everyone can do this.
(There's groaning sound everywhere.)
- By any chance... - I can do this too.
This time, you'll get to hear Flamingo's real voice.
First off, it's Jo Sung Mo's voice.
He'll imitate his voice.
Do you know?
I want to bite you.
(It's like he's haunted by Sung Mo.)
(That was too refreshing.)
Sung Mo.
His beautiful voice is amazing.
You may change your minds...
once you see Parrot cover Psy's dance this time.
Music, please!
(They're excited to see his dance moves.)
(Let's go!)
(Powerful flapping)
(Parrot's got the feeling.)
(Sexy waves)
(Shaking)
(You made me a bird)
All right.
It was Parrot's dance moves.
Following his dance, Flamingo will show off...
the latest dance moves...
that are in craze these days.
Get ready to check this out.
(With a familiar voice,)
(he gets ready to show off the latest dance moves.)
(Ring, ring)
It's "Ring Ring" by Kim Yeong Cheol.
It's trendy these days.
(Even though he's wearing a mask,)
(he can't hide...)
(that he's the original singer.)
(He even succeeds to imitate Yeong Cheol's restless charm...)
(which made Germany fall for him.)
(The rocker's fatal charms)
(Going way too sexy)
(Annoyed)
(He loses an eye while dancing.)
(He finishes up one-eyed.)
All right.
(He doesn't forget to dirty dance until the end.)
It's very unexpected.
He did that on purpose.
I think none of them are rockers.
- You tried hard. - We watched their dance moves.
- Have you changed your mind, Gu Ra? - Not at all.
Rock vocalists show a lot of their talented sides on stages.
- It was to confuse you though. - No, I'm not confused at all.
- You aren't? - It made me even more certain.
- Really? - Yes.
All right. Let's move on.
Now, I will announce the result of the final match of Round One.
Between Flamingo and Parrot,
who freely performed with their voices like wings,
I'll now reveal...
the winner of this final match.
Who will be the last singer to advance to Round Two?
(It's the standard of powerful, yet stable vocalization.)
(It makes you want to listen to it more and more.)
(Flamingo has your type of voice.)
(He has a refreshing voice like waves.)
(It's both soft and wild.)
(Parrot's voice satisfies your ears.)
Between Flamingo and Parrot,
who was able to build a nest in your hearts...
and advance to Round Two?
The winner is...
(King of Mask Singer)
- The winner is... - The winner is...
Who is the winner? I really can't predict.
(The result of the two professional singers' competition...)
(will be decided only by the difference in preferences.)
(I can't watch.)
Let's see the result.
The winner is...
(King of Mask Singer)
Between Flamingo and Parrot,
who will be the winner?
The winner is...
Flamingo won.
That's it.
(Fly into the air, Flamingo.)
Heavy metal is the best.
That's too bad. It was tough to choose one.
Flamingo beat Parrot.
With a final score of 54 to 45,
Flamingo moves on to Round Two.
Please return to your waiting room.
Please give him a big hand.
(The identity of Parrot will be revealed soon.)
I will give a shocking performance...
that goes against the panelists' expectations.
Flamingo, let's go.
Panelists guessed Parrot to be a rocker.
Who could he be?
We will reveal his identity...
with a solo performance prepared for Round Two.
Please give him a big hand.
(He has a wide vocal range and a powerful voice.)
(He is a charming vocalist with Yim Jae Beum's style.)
(Gu Ra's claim started the belief...)
(that Parrot is a rocker.)
(He is a talented musician who confused the panelists.)
(There is no limit to his talent.)
(Who could Parrot be?)
("You Are Tearful" by M.C the Max)
My goodness.
(He vocalizes in a delicate way unlike he did during the duet.)
(His voice changed.)
(He sings carefully with a weighty voice.)
(His gentle voice comes out in a composed manner.)
(He is good.)
(His delicate control over his voice adds to the atmosphere.)
(He wishes for the happiness of the past lover.)
(It's a sad and painful prayer.)
(The emotions of the past sink into the heart.)
(He is a vocalist with power and delicateness.)
(Who could he be?)
Now, Parrot, please take off your mask...
and reveal your identity.
He is...
(The audience nearly screamed.)
Who is he?
He is...
the beagle-like idol group of the music industry, BTOB's...
Im Hyun Sik.
(Is he an idol singer?)
He is a member of BTOB.
(He isn't a rocker, but Im Hyun Sik of BTOB.)
(Welcome, BTOB.)
BTOB!
Im Hyun Sik.
(The person no one expected, Im Hyun Sik of BTOB appears.)
(His melodious voice is full of men's fragrance.)
(The panelists were certain that he is a rocker...)
(because of his wide vocal range and the ability to hit high notes.)
(He is good.)
(His weighty voice fills the stage.)
(He can sing very well, right?)
(Today, he takes the stage alone.)
(Im Hyun Sik sings each note to the best of his abilities.)
(That's incredible.)
(To the clear and unwavering high notes,)
(he adds deep sentimentality.)
(He is amazing.)
(He sings honestly about being lost in longing...)
(and leaves resounding emotions.)
(He is armed with sweet melody.)
("You Are Tearful" by Im Hyun Sik)
It was the best.
He is a rocker.
He can sing incredibly well.
That was amazing.
He is Im Hyun Sik of BTOB.
Please say hello to the viewers.
Hello, I am Im Hyun Sik of BTOB.
All right.
(He debuted as a member of BTOB in 2012.)
("I'll Be Your Man" and "It's Okay" are their hit songs.)
(He has a powerful voice and a wide vocal range.)
(He is one of the talented vocalists of BTOB.)
(Being a member of the beagle-like idol group,)
(he truly enjoys performing on the stage.)
(He composes music, writes lyrics, and arranges songs.)
(He debuted as a solo artist with "Swimming".)
(He gets a lot of offers for OSTs.)
(He has an addictive voice.)
(The passionate singer-songwriter, Im Hyun Sik)
The panelists thought you were an unfortunate rocker.
Min Jong is very surprised.
Yes, I was very surprised. This is hard.
My goodness, this is hard.
It's hard to guess the identities of the masked singers, right?
Yes. Anyone would have thought that he is a rocker.
In a sense, his father is a rocker.
- That's right. - His father is a folk rock singer.
That's right.
His father is a rocker.
His father is the singer of the hit song, "Low Tide of Love",
Im Ji Hoon.
(He received a lot of love for "Low Tide of Love".)
(Im Ji Hoon is the original singer of the Korean folk songs.)
The family has two generations...
of singer-songwriters.
At first, your father was...
against your dream of becoming a singer.
He knew that it's hard to pursue a career in music.
That's why he was against it.
You were determined to become a singer.
My father gave me that blood.
Even though he was against it, I continued to express my wish.
In the end, he lost to his son.
Does he acknowledge you as a singer now?
He showers me with compliments.
He called me when I was in the waiting room...
and told me to do well.
If you have a duet song match against your father,
who would receive more votes?
(Make sure you give the right answer, my son.)
I am better at hitting high notes.
I see.
That's why I think I have a higher chance at winning.
Even if I win, I wouldn't feel happy about it.
- I see. - It would be a cruel match.
Hyun Chul, you know his father well.
Yes, I do.
What did you think about his voice?
His father always praises him and says,
"My son composes songs. My song produces songs."
- He says that. - I see.
I hope you will continue...
to compose songs and sing at the same time.
Please continue to do that.
I have a big dream.
I have big hopes for my musical career.
So that I can gain recognition from many people,
I will continue to show what I can do.
Even when he talks,
his voice carried prudence.
- It's quite a feat at a young age. - Those...
who disregard popularity...
and dedicate themselves to music with seriousness...
always achieve their goals.
They highly regard those aspects.
With mature sentimentality,
he showed his incredible singing skills.
Please give a big hand to Im Hyun Sik of BTOB.
Thank you.
(You were the best.)
I'll close it.
Thank you.
It's so hot.
It's too bad,
but everyone loved my voice.
So it's okay.
My fans always asked me...
when I'll be going on King of Mask Singer.
They always pestered me to go on this show.
So I wanted to come for my fans.
I tried my best.
I hope you liked it.
As a member of BTOB and as myself,
I will continue to work hard.
Please love my recently-released solo song "Swimming".
Please look forward to BTOB as well.
Thank you so much.
Bye.
Next week.
(My love deepened.)
(The spark becomes more intense.)
(They are not the only ones in love.)
(It's the warring states period.)
(The explosive performances will be of another level.)
(Who will be the 62nd King of Mask Singer?)
(It will be revealed next week.)
