The mysterious music show, King of Mask Singer.
Previously on King of Mask Singer.
With her shocking singing ability,
she succeeded to win for the third time.
She's the 67th Queen of Mask Singer.
Kiss My Lips and Love My Song, Red Mouth.
(Ta-da!)
(I missed you, everyone.)
(You're great, my queen!)
This is the very first episode of year 2018.
The mysterious music show, King of Mask Singer.
I am your unbiased show host, Kim Seong Ju.
Happy New Year to you all.
(Happy New Year.)
(Muzie, Lee Gook Ju)
(Nancy, Din Din)
(Joo Woo Jae)
Last week, we got another queen...
who won three times in a row after a long while.
She was the first one to do so since So Hyang.
She made a long-term reign possible.
It was Kiss My Lips and Love My Song, Red Mouth.
Do you have plans for the new year? Could you share them?
It's my goal to take good care of my red and shiny lips...
in this cold weather.
To celebrate the new year,
I exfoliated my lips too.
I wonder if they are redder than usual.
Are they red?
- Yes. - Yes.
Thank you. Thank you.
Seong Ju has to...
remain strictly impartial.
- Right. - That's expected of him.
But your outfit makes it seem...
as if you're rooting for the queen.
It bothers me a little.
- That's a prejudice. - You should be careful.
We don't know who's coming out later.
Wait. You're wearing red too.
- Your shirt is very red. - He's wearing red too.
- Get changed. - It's a stripped pattern.
(He comes up with an excuse.)
- It's a checkered shirt. - Yes.
By the way, she won three times.
But in our memory,
she's remembered as someone with much stronger impression.
- Right. - She's a very strong person.
We all know how shocking her performance can get,
but some of us want to see her put on a more delicate one.
So we'll see if the song she chose for today...
is more delicate than shocking.
And we will see how it will touch us.
Wouldn't it be fun to watch that?
- It will be. - Yes.
This is King of Mask Singer, the New Year Special.
Who will be the last one to survive...
and compete against Red Mouth?
Let's start the first match...
of Round One, the duet song competition.
(The first match begins.)
(King of Mask Singer)
This is the first match of Round One.
His voice is more precious than pure gold.
2018 Golden Dog Millionaire.
(Golden Dog)
2018 is my year.
(I am here.)
(You are this year's hero.)
He's heavy.
He's quite big.
Contending against him is this masked singer.
We can't stop longing for her song.
When's the Holiday? I'm Curious, Honey. New Calendar.
(When's the Holiday? I'm Curious, Honey. New Calendar)
Who's the queen of the new year?
It's me, it's me
(You get to rest for 119 days this year.)
(That's so thrilling.)
Yes, we all need a new calendar.
When's the Holiday? I'm Curious, Honey.
Counting the holidays is hard.
(She's very slim.)
She's got the appearance of Jang Yoon Jeong.
Nobody was thinner than her.
(The first masked singers have the opposite appearances.)
(How will they show themselves?)
("What's Life" by Lee Mu Song)
What's this song?
It's "What's Life".
They must be quite old.
This is nice.
(Her clear voice spreads across the space.)
Her voice is powerful.
It sounds familiar.
(The low and deep voice of Golden Dog supports her voice.)
(I love it.)
(Her voice is as pure as voice can be.)
(Let's go.)
(The two voices that delight us compete.)
I have no clue.
(His thick vocalization gives us a hint that he's an older man.)
His voice sounds familiar.
Doesn't he sound like Moon Se Yoon?
(They harmonize beautifully with the voices of different range.)
(I got an idea.)
(This is exciting.)
(With an exciting harmony, they sing about life.)
(He's impressed.)
(Let's go.)
(Their harmony is perfect.)
(Please look at me.)
(He shows off his skill.)
(Yes.)
(Laughing)
(They sang the familiar melody in an exciting way.)
(That was exciting.)
That was good. Well done.
- His voice is amazing. - It is.
(It's very deep.)
The first match of Round One ended.
Let's hear the opinion of our poet,
Yu Young Seok.
Golden Dog...
has an unbelievable talent.
- Really? - Yes.
When they started singing the second bar,
he harmonized with the lady,
and he supported her perfectly.
- He supported New Calendar. - Yes.
(He was skilled enough to support the other singer.)
The way he brings the song to life...
is extraordinary.
We know he is not young,
but to be an actor,
his performance is too stable.
I feel like he's an experienced singer.
Are you saying she's not a professional singer?
Well, if she's a singer, I'm sorry.
Up until the eighth bar, her voice was amazing.
Her voice is so good that even her scolding would sound nice.
If someone tells me to be a better person in the new year...
with such a voice, I will gladly reflect on myself.
- She has a bright voice. - She's got a great voice.
But you don't think she's a singer?
She sang passionately and everything, but...
Why do you keep beating around the bush?
- You thought she was a singer. - She's not a professional singer.
- She's not? - No.
I think she's an actress.
- You think she's an actress. - Yes.
- Hyun Chul? - As for Golden Dog,
considering his body shape...
and the way he stands with his hands clasped behind his back,
I feel like he's an old man who has...
gray hair.
And as for New Calendar,
I was comparing her height to Seong Ju's.
She's wearing high heels,
and her shoulders are a little lower than Seong Ju's.
- She must be around 167cm. - I see.
- You mean her actual height? - Yes.
But I haven't seen someone who has such an appearance.
- Do you have someone in mind? - Yes.
She's a very elegant and skinny woman.
I think she might be Do Ji Won, the actress.
- Do Ji Won? - Yes.
You think she's an actress. Do Ji Won.
Hang on a second. The two experts just said...
one is a professional singer and the other is not.
Sometimes, what experts say doesn't sound that convincing...
to normal people.
It often sounds empty.
Being panelists of this show for two and a half years,
the two experts got hurt a lot.
They thought someone was an actor, but he turned out to be a singer.
- Because of the previous records... - They can't guess correctly?
Muzie and Din Din said...
they seem to have problems with their ears.
I said that?
- What are you saying? - I didn't say that.
- I have no idea what he's saying. - Are you making things up?
- I didn't say such things. - Come on.
Are you sure they said that?
I personally have...
- someone in my mind. - Really?
There are a few celebrities who are known for their mustache.
- For example, Kim Heung Kook... - Right.
- Park Sang Min. - There's Bae Chul Soo.
I think he's 1 of the 3 guys who are famous for mustache.
- Really? - He's 1 of the 3 guys?
- His name is Lee Geun Hee. - Lee Geun Hee?
You know the actor, Lee Geun Hee.
He's an actor who often plays funny characters.
Geun Hee's body looks exactly like his.
Is he right?
Look at the experts. They're swayed. He is Lee Geun Hee.
(They're worried they might be wrong again.)
- Could he be correct? - They get swayed so easily.
Gu Ra mentioned Geun Hee's name.
Let's see if he's actually him.
New Calendar...
has a great diction.
I think she is either an actress...
or an anchor who is perfectly disguised.
That's what I thought.
- The lyrics sounded really clear. - Her pronunciation was good.
I also thought her diction is really great.
Besides, the way she stands...
She's standing straight without any problems.
- I think she is an anchor... - She's standing straight.
who is quite experienced and tries to slowly move to the variety field.
- She's stepping into the field. - Yes, that's what I thought.
As for Golden Dog, Din Din and I had a discussion...
that he might be the detective from the movie "Tazza: The High Rollers".
"Let's say nothing happened."
- Detective Raccoon? - Yes.
(His unique voice created a lot of memes.)
I think Golden Dog could be Detective Raccoon.
- You think he's an actor. - Yes.
Good. Now is about time...
to see their specialties.
We can hear their real voice.
Let's start with New Calendar.
She said she's really good at imitating animal sound.
She's going to imitate a cat that is a little sensitive.
(Hissing)
It sounded like she had phlegm stuck in her throat.
It was quite similar to a cat's sound, wasn't it?
- This was beyond my expectation. - Right?
Could you do it a little longer?
- A little longer? - It was a bit too short.
- It wasn't enough? - I mean...
- Do you want to hear more? - Yes.
It should be at least three seconds long.
Let's try making the sound for three seconds.
Please show us the sound of a sensitive cat.
(A little longer!)
- That was great. - Thank you. Great job.
- You got more applause. - It was much better.
- That was a thunderous applause. - She gave her all.
I think...
- she's not a singer. - She's not?
How could you say that after asking her to do all that?
- Her voice went hoarse. - What are you saying?
A singer wouldn't do something like this because it hurts your throat.
You're right. It would indeed hurt your throat.
So you think both of them are not professional singers.
Yes, that's what I think.
Maybe you'll change your mind once you see Golden Dog's specialty.
He said he sings his favorite songs...
like their original performers.
Golden Dog, please sing your favorite songs.
And I think to myself What a wonderful
(He imitates Louis Armstrong's deep and powerful voice.)
World
(No one has expected he'd sing Louis Armstrong's song.)
That was it.
It was Louis Armstrong. Louis Armstrong.
It's his favorite song.
Could you sing one of his other songs,
"When the Saints Go Marching In" as well?
(He rejects it.)
You can't? I see.
If he likes Louis Armstrong much, he can sing that song as well.
That was all. That was Golden Dog's specialty.
It's New Calendar's turn, whom we think is an actress or an anchor.
She said she's yet a beginner,
but she'd like to show us her ballet skills.
That's what she prepared as her specialty.
Please take off your shoes, and carefully step forward.
Please give us the music.
("Swan Lake")
It's "Swan Lake".
(She dances like a lonely swan.)
(Her hand movement looks lonely and sad.)
Don't you have to stand on tiptoe?
(Here you go.)
(Struggling)
She's a beginner.
Please be confident. Be confident.
(Ready)
Hang on a second. Turn around.
You should make a turn.
(I don't care anymore.)
Stop flapping your wings.
(The middle-aged men like her performance.)
(She's suddenly become calm.)
There you go.
You're doing a good job. It's okay. Don't be intimidated.
That was it. Thank you.
(Proud)
I think she's an office worker. She's an anchor.
Many women learn ballet to correct bad posture.
I think she's a typical beginner who has been learning for six months.
New Calendar said she would show you a girl group's dance moves.
Once I see her dance...
- I can guess who she is. - A girl group's dance moves.
(Expectant)
Please give us the music.
(A girl group's dance moves)
(It kind of looks cute.)
(Her dance moves aren't quite professional.)
This is a different kind of dance.
(Let's eat rice cake in the new year.)
(Have some rice cake. Open your mouth.)
(She eats the rice cake.)
(What I love the most is)
(New year's rice cake!)
That's it for now. She ends the performance gracefully.
- She ends it gracefully. - I can see...
that she learned the dance herself by watching a video.
- The girl group's dance moves? - Yes.
It's common these days...
for people to learn ballet and pop dance at the same time.
I'm sure she hasn't properly learned dancing.
The way she dances looks like she doesn't know how to dance.
I think she learned the dance moves very recently.
Gook Ju, you're known as a dancing queen.
- Could you show us your moves? - Sure.
- She even took off her shoes. - She took off her shoes.
Please show us how a proper dancer dances.
Give us the music!
(A girl group's dance moves by a proper dancer)
(She begins with a turn.)
(Her moves look well-disciplined.)
There you go. She looks very confident.
Her moves are precise.
Look at her charismatic eyes.
(Her bare feet make her look even more passionate.)
Gook Ju didn't let us down.
(You're awesome.)
- Gook Ju never lets us down. - By the way, Golden Dog...
- What about Golden Dog? - He didn't do much,
but he looks somewhat exhausted.
He almost did nothing.
He sang a song and imitated Louis Armstrong briefly,
but he looks very exhausted.
- Since he's a big man... - I see.
(I'm watching you.)
Now, I'll announce the result of the first match of Round One.
There were mixed opinions about who should be the winner.
Between Golden Dog and New Calendar,
whom did the panelists choose?
Let's check out the result now!
(She has a clear and high-pitched voice.)
(New Calendar has an addictive and refreshing voice.)
(Golden Dog sings with a deep voice.)
(Golden Dog's great voice proves that he's experienced.)
Between Golden Dog...
and New Calendar,
who will be the winner?
The winner is...
(King of Mask Singer)
- The winner is... - The winner is...
Golden Dog must be the winner. It wouldn't make sense otherwise.
New Calendar. New Calendar.
(The very first winner of the new year!)
(Who is it going to be?)
Whose voice are we going to hear again in Round Two?
The winner is...
Golden Dog won.
(It's the year of Golden Dog.)
- Okay! Yes! - Great.
I knew it.
I can't believe this.
Golden Dog moves on to Round Two.
The score is 57 to 42. He won by a narrow margin.
Golden Dog, congratulations. Please go back to your waiting room.
Let's give him a big hand.
Golden Dog moved on to Round Two.
I will see you in Round Two.
The panelists had different ideas on her identity,
whether she's an actress or a news anchor.
We will reveal her identity with a solo performance.
Please give her a big round of applause.
(Her identity will be revealed now.)
(Is she a news anchor with clear pronunciation?)
(Is she Do Ji Won, the actress?)
(Who is New Calendar, a woman of many charms?)
("One Happy Day" by Kim Wan Sun)
What's this song?
It's Kim Wan Sun's song.
She's a good dancer.
("One Happy Day" by Kim Wan Sun, a great song of the sexy diva)
(Her voice sounds refreshing this time.)
She's singing well now.
(Singing adorably)
(She has happy energy that makes you smile.)
(It's exciting!)
(Her identity will be revealed now.)
Now, New Calendar, please take off your mask...
and reveal your face.
(Unbelievable!)
She is...
(She puts down her mask...)
(and starts dancing excitedly.)
- They're so surprised! - Who is it?
- What? - Who is it?
She is...
the peerless comedienne with unique characteristic,
An Young Mi.
(How can it be An Young Mi?)
Unbelievable.
(Her shocking identity makes their jaws drop.)
This is so annoying.
(She fooled her two good friends.)
(Are you surprised?)
(No one expected...)
(to see An Young Mi, the comedienne with happy energy.)
(I love you, Young Mi.)
(Her fresh charms fill up the studio.)
(It's exciting.)
(She has an exciting voice...)
(which feels like a pleasant gift.)
She's a good singer.
(This is great!)
(She continues to sing passionately...)
(as she shows off her surprising singing ability.)
(Dancing)
(Thank you so much.)
(She makes people laugh with her charms until the end.)
Gosh, we got completely fooled.
I can't believe I didn't recognize her.
How could she manage to hide her identity from me?
(It was a great stage by a familiar face.)
I had no idea at all.
Who do you think you are to come here?
All right. Please don't fight.
New Calendar's identity has been revealed.
It was An Young Mi, the comedienne.
Please say hello to our viewers.
Gosh, everyone. Happy New Year. Thank you.
(She burst onto the comedy industry in 2004.)
(She didn't spare herself with shocking makeups...)
(and made the viewers laugh.)
(She won an Excellence Award in the comedy division in 2009.)
(She became the comedienne who can't be replaced.)
(She showed great performance on variety shows afterwards.)
(Including the music video she filmed with G-Dragon,)
(she showed great acting on dramas and sitcoms.)
(She's still showing off her endless talent.)
(An Young Mi, Korea's number one comedienne...)
(who always shines brightly.)
(Groaning)
- Gosh, it was so hard. - I know.
- How did she hide it? - I was holding myself back.
You could only reveal your voice today.
You really restrained yourself...
- I did. - and stayed quiet.
There are several people who could've recognized your voice.
I see Gook Ju and Bong Sun...
almost every day,
so I thought they'd recognize me right away.
- I was anxious. - We saw each other last night.
- You saw each other last night? - We did.
- I see them more often than my mom. - Haven't you heard of her singing?
- Really? - Yes.
I've never heard her singing.
Her usual behavior is really...
(Laughing)
- silly. - Did she look different?
Yes, that's why I couldn't even imagine such a well-behaved lady...
- would be Young Mi. - She never behaves that way.
- Right. - When she took off her mask,
I even thought she was Jung Eun Ah, the news anchor.
- Even when she was walking in? - Yes.
I heard there was something harder than practicing singing.
These shoes gave me the hardest time.
My stylist brought me shoes that are too small for me.
I might develop varicose veins soon.
They're cutting off my blood circulation.
- Are they too small for you? - Yes.
Young Mi almost released an album,
and she also got an offer to be on a musical.
- Yes. - Is that true?
Kang Yu Mi and I formed a band called Mimi Band five years ago.
- We recorded an album. - Oh, my.
- We only had to perform on stage, - Right.
but we just weren't confident about our songs.
So we gave up right before our debut.
I got an offer to be on "Lunatic", a musical directed by Baek Jae Hyun,
and I passed the audition.
But again, I thought I'd cause other people trouble.
I was afraid to sing,
so I gave up for the second time.
I thought I shouldn't miss...
my third chance.
I came to this show because I wanted to challenge myself.
I see. You made the right choice.
I'm still so nervous. My hands are shaking.
- Right. - But...
as I listened to your song,
I was 100 percent sure you were a singer.
If you get another offer like that, I don't think...
there would be any problem if you take it.
You should make use of...
your talent and voice more often.
- Yes. - Thank you.
I'm looking forward to Young Mi's performance this year.
She overcame her fear of singing...
and showed us a successful stage today.
It was An Young Mi. Please give her a big hand.
Thank you. Happy New Year, everyone.
All right.
She's been very polite today.
Gosh, my feet are killing me.
My feet hurt.
I hope people will see...
a new side of me through this show.
I hope they will realize those strong characters I played...
are just a part of me.
When's the Holiday? I'm Curious, Honey. New Calendar was me,
An Young Mi.
I fooled you, didn't I?
Just like what I did today, I hope you will...
try something you haven't done...
or something you haven't been able to do this year.
I will show you many new sides of me in this new year as well.
Happy New Year, everybody. Stay healthy.
(Stay healthy, everyone!)
This is the result of Round One.
2018 Golden Dog Millionaire defeated An Young Mi...
and moved on to Round Two.
The second match of Round One.
Her beautiful voice flies over the musical notes.
Fine Wings Make Fine Fairies, Taoist Fairy.
Are you ready...
to smile after listening to my song?
(Are you ready?)
(We are ready.)
Gosh, she looks pretty.
I think she'll do great.
Let's meet her opponent.
He captures every woman's heart only with his voice.
I Stole Taoist Fairy's Dress,
Woodcutter.
(I Stole Taoist Fairy's Dress, Woodcutter)
Please look forward to my heart-warming song for this winter.
(He's here to steal the audience's hearts.)
(Take my heart.)
He looks charismatic.
He looks like an idol singer.
(They can tell he's an idol singer.)
(All eyes are on them.)
(Glancing)
They're going out.
I'm 100 percent sure.
I hope they go out.
Just take this chance and go out.
(They look amazing together.)
(The panelists have their eyes on them.)
(They look good together.)
(What harmony will they show us...)
(in this performance?)
("Lean On Me" by Soyou and Kwon Jeong Yeol)
It's "Lean On Me".
(It's a sweet duet song.)
The song itself is young.
(Their hearts flutter.)
(Amazed)
(As if the winter snow melts,)
(their voices resonate warmly.)
(He steals the audience's hearts with his tender voice.)
(She flies into their hearts with her clear voice.)
(Their voices make people want to lean on.)
(I'll lean on you.)
(Impressed)
(Her refreshing voice shines brightly.)
(His sentimental voice approaches slowly.)
(It's so good.)
(Taoist Fairy and Woodcutter...)
(exchange notes rhythmically.)
(Her fragile voice makes people want to protect her instead.)
(Pleasant)
(Singing in harmony,)
(they seem like they're comforting each other.)
(Their beautiful harmony makes the audience...)
(forget about the competition.)
(Their voices seem like they are whispering to each other.)
(Their fantastic performance was like a fairy tale.)
(They look great together.)
- I understand it all. - I do.
- Date each other. - I really do.
Just date.
I've heard his voice on the phone.
- What? - That's ridiculous.
(That's ridiculous.)
The second match of Round One ended.
Hyun Chul, please make a comment first.
The performances are about competing against each other...
in this program.
But I couldn't feel any of that.
They worked hard...
to make a nice performance together.
It was such a beautiful stage.
- Woodcutter's voice... - Yes?
tells me that he has a lot of snot in his nose.
- He has a lot of snot? - Yes.
Ask him if he has a cold or not.
Right now?
(Whispering)
Oh, my. He went to see an ENT doctor two days ago.
I'm getting goose bumps.
He has a runny nose.
- Goodness. - What?
He suffers from chronic sinusitis.
(Chronic sinusitis)
- Goodness. - Gosh, seriously.
I'm getting goose bumps.
- He's a good doctor. - He's the expert indeed.
- He's a good doctor. - I mean...
The sicker he is,
the more he should call someone he likes...
and profess to her.
- She will accept him right away. - It has high chance of success.
- That's right. - When he's sick.
His voice is that much charming.
He was born with that voice. That's a gift.
Chronic sinusitis.
On the other hand, for Taoist Fairy,
most of the panelists are predicting she'd be an idol singer.
- She's an idol singer? - But...
I think she's a solo singer.
- I see. - I agree with him.
It's because...
she controlled her voice...
as if she's sung a whole song from the start to the end.
And their harmony itself was amazing.
I want to give them high scores.
(It was nice to hear.)
I had a laser treatment at a dermatology recently.
I listened to music throughout the treatment.
- I see. - I loved one of the songs...
and searched it with my smartphone.
"Who's this?"
I've been listening to her songs ever since then.
It's her?
It's that voice.
- Goodness. - Who is she?
I got her.
It's the voice you heard at the dermatology.
She's a female singer song-writer.
A lot of her songs are...
drama soundtracks.
She sang drama soundtracks?
- Is that right? - I know who she is.
What a coincidence.
- It's after such a long time. - I know.
One of her songs is from the drama...
- which Seo Hyun Jin starred in. - "Temperature of Love".
- Is that right? - Yes.
- He thinks she's CHEEZE. - Right.
Her voice is soft like that of Taoist Fairy...
when she sings in falsetto.
- I hope he's wrong. - Why?
Why would you wish for other's unhappiness?
I want to see him embarrassed.
I never get embarrassed.
(Gu Ra is always firm about his opinion.)
I wonder if Gu Ra's personal experience...
will bring a good result in his prediction.
A lot of people are astir with his guess.
Young Seok, I see you're searching something.
I've become curious after hearing Gu Ra.
Would you search her song on the internet...
if you listened to it while getting a treatment?
For certain.
Actually, you want someone whom you voted for to be the winner.
- Right. - Because...
- you want to hear more from them. - But I'll be okay...
even if that person loses in the match.
You'll be happy with anyone?
The two are different...
in the sense of expression methods.
But they all have a nice voice color.
For Taoist Fairy, her dress isn't her wings.
Her voice is.
She has such a noble voice.
For Woodcutter, he doesn't have to steal clothes.
He's more than enough to steal one's heart with his voice.
(That's right.)
They seem like a newlywed couple deeply in love.
They also seem like...
the Altair and the Vega who can meet each other only on this stage.
Why would you...
show us the main match in the second match?
You think this is the main match of Round One?
He thinks their performance is the main match of Round One.
Din Din is staring at the stage seriously.
Looking at the two,
I can feel those idols...
who can't date each other.
They've kept their masks on.
They must be curious about each other.
So Taoist Fairy moves in a way that seems pretty.
And Woodcutter makes his voice as nice as possible.
They've fallen in love while practicing.
It's like phone dating. They're curious...
because they can't see each other's faces.
(Who is he? Who is she?)
They're in love right now.
- Already. - That's right.
- Through this program. - They've predicted...
They are thinking of someone in their minds...
and have fallen in love already.
More than this performance,
they're interested in finding out each other's identity.
I think they're both idol singers.
You think so.
I've looked up for the person Gu Ra mentioned,
and I'm certain it's not her.
- Is that right? - I'm sure.
- It's not her? Not at all? - No way.
Din Din and Gu Ra have different opinions.
I agree with Din Din.
- You agree with him? - Yes.
These two can never...
meet each other if not for this performance.
They can't even stand close to each other like this.
Here's what came to my mind when I watched their performance.
It was like walking on a snowy street with a first love.
They look great together.
Gook Ji and I talked about this.
- Why are you calling me Gook Ji? - Gook Ju. Yes.
- Who is Gook Ji? - I am sorry.
Sam Bong Sun.
- Gook Ju and I agreed that... - Sam Bong Sun.
Taoist Fairy is...
- 1 or 2 years older. - That's right.
Woodcutter is younger than her.
He is making a move on her.
- That's right. - Really?
Singers face each other when they sing.
Instead of facing her,
he tilted his head.
(Woodcutter turned towards her when they began to sing together.)
(He tilted his head so much that his face couldn't be seen.)
- This is his way of showing love. - Is he making a move on her?
He looked at her lovingly.
He showed his cute charms...
- to an older woman. - Exactly.
(Like this?)
Like this?
- That's it. - That's right.
Now that I think about it, you are right.
(Why is Seong Ju copying him?)
You are the master of relationships.
He is quite flirtatious.
(Is Woodcutter younger than Taoist Fairy?)
Now, you will hear their real voices.
Firstly, Taoist Fairy...
will imitate Ko Jang Hwan of Namolla Family.
He is the talk of the town these days.
In Ko Jang Hwan's style,
she will talk about how it feels to be on King of Mask Singer.
Taoist Fairy, please begin.
Okay. I will talk about it for the first time.
I am on King of Mask Singer, a show that invites celebrities.
Firstly, I sang. Okay?
I sang, but I felt so nervous...
that I didn't know what I was doing.
Let's end it here.
(Good job, okay?)
- That was cute. - Ko Jang Hwan's style.
Gook Ju, can you do it?
We can't do it in a cute way.
I gave it a try just now. Okay.
I visited King of Mask Singer after a long while.
Okay. I am not sure about it, okay?
- Okay, I'm here after a long while. - Okay.
(Din Din, the rapper, gives it a try.)
- Din Din is the rapper. - Rapper.
I don't know if Taoist Fairy is here to perform or find a boyfriend.
She will reveal her face soon, okay? Let's get it.
Din Din.
(Gu Ra thinks he did well.)
He doesn't disappoint us.
This time, you will hear Woodcutter's real voice.
He will imitate three people's voices and actions.
He will do it while sitting down. Please bring out a chair.
All right. It's not a simple imitation,
but an homage.
He admires the people he is about to imitate.
That's why he will imitate even their actions.
Firstly, please imitate Lee So Ra, a singer.
I am not necessarily a good singer.
I only deliver the emotions.
I will sing a song for you.
(He moves his head in a detailed way.)
(I will bet my everything)
(You are still my number one)
It ends here.
Who is he? I think I know who he is.
I think I know who he is.
Did you see his gestures?
I think he is on the older side.
To imitate Lee So Ra,
you have to be over 30 years old.
Otherwise, it's difficult. He is on the older side.
The next person he will imitate with respect is BMK.
Let's hear it.
(He puts the microphone away from his mouth.)
(He holds the microphone like BMK.)
(You will come to me)
(Bam, bam, bam)
That's perfect.
(Singing)
It ends here.
He held the microphone far from his mouth.
With that kind of specialty,
Muzie and Yu Seung Woo should recognize his identity.
- I am disappointed that they don't. - That's right.
- They should know who he is. - That's right.
You want me to know who he is by looking at his specialty?
- You should know. You have to. - Listen.
You are the best at imitating Cho Yong Pil.
Woodcutter's specialty is based on his musical talent.
Muzie has to know. Din Din doesn't have to know.
He doesn't know much. Din Din doesn't have to know.
- I'm releasing an album soon. - It has nothing to do with this.
I am a musician.
- I will guess his identity. - Let's hear another one.
He will imitate a female singer.
With respect, he will imitate...
(He is preparing for a specialty with respect.)
The singer he will imitate this time is...
Lee Eun Mee.
(He went barefoot like the diva.)
(I had a breakup)
(It's a detailed homage.)
(He imitates with the tip of his foot.)
(I am still under a delusion)
(He sounds similar, but...)
(When the atmosphere turns awkward...)
(Bam, bam, bam)
(He is witty.)
Muzie should know who he is.
Muzie and Yu Seung Woo should know who he is.
I don't think he is old.
There are idol singers with many specialties like him.
Since idol groups have a lot of members these days,
a member who visits a show alone is full of fighting spirits.
- Now... - If he doesn't do well today,
he won't get to visit a show alone again.
That's the impression I got.
He is giving it his all.
- Your opinion differs from Gu Ra's. - Yes, it does.
You think he is an idol singer...
- from a group with many members. - Yes, one of idol singers.
- A group with many members. - He visited the show alone.
- That's right. - Let's move on to Taoist Fairy.
You will show us a specialty that doesn't match your looks.
She will imitate a Chinese man in "The Outlaws".
I'm talking about the scary criminal.
Woodcutter, please help her.
It's a collaboration between them. Please let us hear it.
You are here.
Don't come near this place again, okay?
Bring an ax.
Yes!
- Okey Dokey! - Okey Dokey!
(My goodness.)
Seriously. Seriously.
(The atmosphere turns cold.)
Okey Dokey.
(Singing)
That's funny.
- That was great. - He saved the joke.
- Good job. - You saved the joke.
You saved the joke.
Woodcutter, you saved the joke...
by imitating BMK.
- He is impressive and witty. - I know.
I could sense that...
- he is young. - Is he young?
There is a popular dance...
that goes with "Okey Dokey".
He replicated the dance...
and moved his body like the artists from YG Entertainment.
I think he is one of the artists from YG Entertainment.
- That's what you think. - Yes.
From his movement, Din Din guessed that...
he is on the younger side.
Now, I will announce the result of the second match of Round One.
The result is very interesting.
The celebrity panelists' vote...
and the audience's vote differ.
- I knew it would happen. - I knew it.
Their harmony was like the perfect match.
Between Taoist Fairy and Woodcutter,
whose voice will be chosen?
It will be revealed now.
(Her voice is clear and pure like a fairy's.)
(A woman with a mysterious falsetto, Taoist Fairy)
(He steals hearts with his warm and beautiful voice.)
(A man with gentle charms, Woodcutter)
Who will be the winner of this match...
and sing once more in Round Two?
The winner is...
(King of Mask Singer)
- The winner is... - The winner is...
(Their voices were the perfect match.)
(However, only one will be chosen.)
The winner is...
(Woodcutter won.)
Woodcutter won.
(He stole people's hearts.)
(I'm sad Taoist Fairy lost.)
Woodcutter beat Taoist Fairy...
with the score of 60 to 39.
Woodcutter moves on to Round Two.
Please return to your waiting room.
Woodcutter moves on to Round Two.
I will see you at Round Two. Thank you.
The opinions varied.
She was guessed to be an idol singer and a solo artist.
Who could she be?
We will reveal her identity with a solo performance.
Please give her a big hand.
(Her identity will be revealed now.)
(Is she a solo artist who can sing the entire song?)
(She has a noble voice as if it has wings.)
(The voice that captivated Gu Ra at the dermatologist's)
(Is she CHEEZE with a delicate voice?)
(Who could Taoist Fairy be?)
("It's Strange, With You" by Acoustic Collabo)
She really looks like a Taoist fairy.
We should have heard this song in Round Two.
"It's Strange, With You".
(The song has a beautiful atmosphere of a Taoist fairy's descent.)
(Her clear voice spreads calmly.)
- She sounds like CHEEZE. - You're right.
Right?
(Taoist Fairy's identity is hidden behind the veil.)
(With her clear voice that colors the air,)
(she carefully makes a pure confession.)
Her voice is so clear.
(Her pure voice might get wings and fly away.)
This is so nice.
(Her voice is so sweet that even her breath catches people's ears.)
(Who are you?)
Now, Taoist Fairy, please take off your mask...
and reveal your identity.
She is...
- Why? - What happened?
What?
(Aren't I right?)
Reveal your identity.
She is...
the youngest member of Laboum, Sol Bin.
(She's a member of a girl group?)
What was that? You're totally wrong. She's not CHEEZE.
You were mistaken.
(Her surprising identity contradicts every prediction.)
(They are dumbfounded.)
(People didn't know Sol Bin's real voice because of her great looks.)
Why did she lose?
(Feeling bitter)
(She looks like a beautiful angel from up above.)
(Everyone falls for...)
(Sol Bin's good looks and beautiful voice.)
(She nerves herself to sing on the unfamiliar stage.)
(She sings very well.)
(Her shining presence allows her to fill the whole stage alone.)
(Her sweet voice warms up the cold winter.)
(She sings a doleful song with mature emotions.)
(She sings a sincere song with all her heart.)
(Everyone is immersed in her voice.)
(Pleased)
(It was a clear and beautiful song like an angel in a fairy tale.)
She's so pretty and good.
I didn't know she sings so well.
Gu Ra was wrong.
That was close.
(That was close.)
- It was close enough. - That's funny.
Taoist Fairy has revealed her identity.
Please say hello to our viewers.
Hello, I'm Sol Bin of Laboum.
All right.
(She made her debut as Laboum in 2014.)
(She's the youngest member of Laboum...)
(with lovely and distinctive charm.)
(With her lively character,)
(Trying hard)
(she's become a popular entertainer.)
(She's even a talented host...)
(and a well-rounded actress.)
(She has appeared in many TV commercials.)
(Sol Bin of Laboum is like human vitamin.)
So Gu Ra talked about the songs he listened to during the treatment.
- You know what? - She's a singer-songwriter?
I'm speaking truthfully.
I went to an oriental medicine clinic one day.
And I heard an amazing song there.
It was Laboum's "Aalow Aalow".
- You're lying. - I'm serious.
- I really mean it. - At an oriental clinic?
- You heard it... - He's lying.
- at an oriental medicine clinic? - You're so wrong.
- Get out. - I really did.
I even told Jun Hyun Moo I like the song...
when he was hosting a radio show in the morning.
Did Hyun Moo tell you that?
- Yes, I heard that. - Really?
- I heard Gu Ra likes my song. - I told you.
So you didn't hear her voice at a dermatologist's office?
No, it wasn't her voice.
It wasn't her.
- I wanted to hear that. - Anyway,
I'm sure she heard that from Hyun Moo.
- Right. - It has nothing to do with this.
You were wrong anyway.
I'm just talking about myself.
All right. Sol Bin, you've been here as a panelist before.
Yes. I came here as a panelist twice.
(She showed off her cute charms here.)
(Sol Bin was whimsical and lively.)
It's your first time to be here as a masked singer though.
Right. I never thought it'd be possible to sing on this stage.
- You didn't? - I never thought it'd be possible.
This was like the stage of my dream.
After I decided to join this show as a singer,
I worked even harder to practice singing.
And now I'm here wearing Taoist Fairy's costume.
I heard you majored in vocal.
Yes. I majored in vocal in high school.
You must've been very confident then.
Not really.
I'm still nervous.
- What should I do? - She's still nervous.
We just heard her sing here.
She has a beautiful falsetto voice.
If you use your falsetto voice well,
I'm sure your group will be even more popular.
Thank you.
After she took off her mask, we realized that...
people didn't appreciate her voice because of her appearance.
I see.
- Thank you so much. - All right.
Today, she showed off her passion for music...
which was hidden behind her lively character.
She's Sol Bin of Laboum.
Please give her a big hand.
Thank you. And Happy New Year.
Please love and support Laboum.
Good luck!
(Good luck!)
I couldn't believe it at first.
I didn't think I'd be able to sing on the stage.
Then I got a questionnaire for my pre-interview.
"This is happening." I thought.
It still feels like I'm dreaming.
Okay. It's been a long time.
Only top celebrities appear in King of Mask Singer.
Okay. Hang on a second. I'm not sure if I can do this.
Okay. I'll work harder to become a better singer in 2018.
Good luck, King of Mask Singer.
(Part 2 will continue shortly.)
I Stole Taoist Fairy's Dress, Woodcutter beat Sol Bin of Laboum...
and moved on to Round Two.
The third match of Round One.
A voice that stirs your heart.
Push Me to the Throne,
Swing Girl.
(Push Me to the Throne, Swing Girl)
I'll fly high to the throne.
Wait for me, Queen of Mask Singer.
(Hello, everyone.)
She's Swing Girl.
She has a swing on her head.
Her opponent...
will jump until his voice reaches the throne.
I'll Jump Over You,
Seesaw Man.
(I'll Jump Over You, Seesaw Man)
A voice that will make your heart pound.
It's me.
Swing or Seesaw?
They are folk games.
(It's a match between folk games.)
(They are ready to jump high to the sky.)
(Which of them will jump up to the throne first?)
("Another Love Goes Away" by Lee Ki Chan)
I love this song.
(It was the most popular ballad song in 2000s.)
("Another Love Goes Away" was the best ballad song of 2000s.)
She's got her own style.
(She's good.)
(Her uniquely charming voice captures our ears.)
(She's got a stable singing ability too.)
(I think I know who she is.)
(He's a master too.)
(Seesaw Man's voice that's warm enough to warm up the winter...)
(melts ladies' hearts.)
(What is this sad feeling?)
His lover left him.
(The heartbroken emotion is delivered to the listeners.)
(Another love left.)
He sings each note precisely.
(With his voice as soft as clouds,)
(he builds the emotions.)
(And the audience immerse into their memories.)
(They hit high notes stably...)
(and harmonize perfectly.)
(They make us watch them in awe.)
(It was a beautiful version of "Another Love Goes Away".)
(It was beautiful.)
I love this song.
(The lingering feelings make them speechless.)
Why is everyone so good today?
The third match of Round One ended.
Hyun Chul?
Both of them performed amazingly.
I have a feeling that Seesaw Man...
is a member of a vocalist group.
A vocalist group.
His key is high,
and he seems to sing well in falsetto.
That tells me...
that he's the singer...
who's in charge of harmonizing with other singers.
On the other hand, I think Swing Girl is a solo singer.
The way she sings made me think that.
While singing different melodies on 1st and 2nd verses,
she sang the last part...
with a bang. Wait. That's not the word.
With a bang?
You mean she sang the last part with much impact.
She sang the last part with much impact.
And it shows that she's a solo artist.
Her style of singing gave you the hint.
Swing Girl actually has...
the voice of a young lady.
- Right? - Yes.
Her voice is very tight.
- Her voice is tight. - Her vocal cords have no wrinkles.
I imagine that she will...
shock us with her amazing skills if she goes to...
Round Two.
Seesaw Man surprised me with something.
I've never seen someone who breathed so relaxedly...
while hitting low notes.
When you sing low notes, it's very hard to contain...
your emotions in your breathing.
That made me think that he must be young.
But his singing method is a little old-fashioned.
- He used "breath singing method". - "Breath singing method".
How does that go?
Another love
Goes away
- You breathe excessively. - Right.
It's like singing inside a freezer.
He sang with that singing method.
- When was this popular? - Jo Sung Mo's time.
Jo Sung Mo used this singing method.
- Jo Sung Mo. - Yes.
In the late '90s,
all the good singers sang like that.
It was a fancy way to sing then.
- It was a fancy singing method. - Yes.
I think these two...
are from the same period.
Their singing methods were popular in the early 2000s.
Even if they haven't worked together much,
they must've run into each other many times.
That's how it felt.
I think Seesaw Man...
is an idol singer with less than five years of experience.
- He disagreed with Gu Ra. - Yes.
I think Din Din is intentionally...
trying to contradict me.
Why would I do that?
That's an outdated strategy.
In my opinion...
We have to get one each.
I don't know what you are talking about.
- I think... - You're not intentionally doing it?
- No. - He is.
- I told you. - You should argue with Sleepy.
I don't mean to argue with you.
He's only sharing his opinion.
Let's look at his pants.
When you are an idol singer with less than five years of experience,
you tend to emphasize your youth...
and your innocence.
So you wouldn't build muscles on your thighs.
But when you have more than five years of experience,
you become more mature, and you sell your sexiness.
And you start to wear tight pants.
Looking at the way he's standing and his leg's thickness,
I think he is a male idol singer.
His pants are still loose.
That means he's still full of a boy's charms.
He's got less than five years of experience.
- I think... - Yes, Woo Jae.
I think I am the only one here...
who knows who Swing Girl is.
- Do you know who she is? - I do.
- I... - He's very sure, isn't he?
He's suddenly very sure.
- I am certain about it. - Are you certain about it?
If I say something about her,
- you might know who she is. - I have to protect Woo Jae.
- I will hear it first. - Okay.
I have to protect him.
- Wait. - I don't need his protection.
I will keep my mouth shut.
- I am certain about it. - I won't tell anyone.
- I will keep it to myself. - My goodness.
It's all right.
(Gu Ra's disappointed.)
- Wait. - Is it that bad?
- Don't say it. - Is it that bad?
If you say that, you will be crushed.
Don't say it.
It's his personal opinion.
- Will I be crushed? - But he's very certain.
I really like him that I want to protect him.
Don't say it, Woo Jae. Don't.
- Can't we hear it? - But when I...
first heard her voice,
I was convinced that I knew her.
Should I...
give a hint?
- No. - It's...
- the answer though. - Why would we want a hint?
A hint is not necessary.
- Just tell them. - Woo Jae.
Woo Jae.
- I'm certain that you're wrong. - You should know the answer first.
But I do know the answer.
- Are you sure? - I am certain.
- Woo Jae, you're wrong. - Is she a singer?
- She's a singer. - Is she a singer?
- Give us the initials. - Give us the initials then.
- The more you do this, - I'll give you the middle initial.
the more pressured he will be.
So just say the answer.
- Should he do that? - He should just end it.
- Can he reveal it now? - Yes. He can.
- What if it's the answer? - There is no way it is.
- How boring would it be? - It'd be amazing if it is.
Then I will... All right.
- Woo Jae. - Yes?
If it's the answer, I will clean your bathroom for a month.
(Gu Ra made an unexpected suggestion.)
(Just thinking about them living together is terrible enough.)
I mean it.
(We hope Woo Jae gets the answer.)
- Are you serious about it? - Go, Woo Jae!
Go, Woo Jae!
- That's how convinced he is. - If he's...
- He will clean your tiles. - so sure about this,
I should perhaps back down.
- Say it. It's fine. - I think she's Ko Eun.
- Who is it? - Byul.
Byul.
- Byul? - Oh, you mean Byul.
- You should clean Gu Ra's bathroom. - He thinks she's Byul?
- Byul, the singer. - Yes.
I was only trying to protect him because I like him.
He really cares about you.
I really care about him.
- He must really care about you. - He did a huge favor.
I'm going to let you hear their real voices.
Seesaw Man will start by imitating Jo Kwan Woo.
(He will imitate Jo Kwan Woo.)
Please let us hear Jo Kwan Woo's voice.
On a fine day like this
Like this
That was it.
- I want to hear more. - I want more.
Excuse me. I got an idea after hearing him imitating Kwan Woo.
- Could you imitate Kimera? - Kimera?
(Laughing)
You can't. I see.
Do you know who Kimera is?
He doesn't know who Kimera is.
(She is a pioneer of operatic pop who appeared in 1985.)
(She's not using any camera application.)
(She's a genius artist who was ahead of our time.)
- I can explain who Kimera is. - Don't.
He knows who she is, but he just said he can't imitate her.
- He knows her. - You don't know her, right?
He answered right after he heard "Kimera".
(Is he old enough to know Kimera who is the singer of the 1980s?)
He reacted right after he heard "Kimera".
Now, let's check out Swing Girl's specialty.
- She said she could imitate fruits. - Fruits?
Swing Girl, please show us what a tangerine is like.
(She makes a cute noise.)
That was a tangerine. She was peeling the tangerine.
- That was a tangerine. - A tangerine?
- She's creating a stir here. - Is she?
This time, she'll imitate a banana.
(Banana)
Banana
Will you fall in love with me?
(I get it.)
Her sense of humor is a bit old-fashioned.
Her specialty reminds me of Sim Hyeon Seob.
"Will you fall in love with me?"...
- is an old-fashioned phrase. - Is it old-fashioned?
- She will imitate an apple now. - An apple.
Show us what an apple is like.
Apple!
(She seems to be the only one who gets it.)
Will I get to move on to Round Two? Apple!
(Her passion embarrasses everyone.)
Refreshing apple!
That's it.
(My goodness.)
Excuse me.
I think you need to explain why that is an apple.
Hello? I see.
"Hello"?
It's from a commercial.
It's a dance from a commercial.
Joo E of Momoland dances like that...
- in the commercial. - Was it that dance?
You know what it is, right?
- Yes, I do. - Is it that dance?
- It is the commercial, but... - That's not how she danced, right?
(Hesitant)
She can't be Joo E though.
(She can't be Joo E though.)
- She isn't. - We didn't say she's Joo E.
- She isn't, right? - No, she isn't.
- There's no way she's Joo E. - I just...
- We didn't mean to say it's her. - I was excited to hear about us.
We didn't say that she's Joo E.
We need to give her a warning.
(What a dad joke.)
Give her a warning.
(Oh, come on.)
- She imitated a trendy dance. - Exactly.
- I'm sorry. - That's right.
It's Seesaw Man's turn.
He prepared a girl group's dance as well.
We can estimate his age through the dance.
Please give us the music.
(This song is...)
(Why would you leave me)
(It's "Gashina" by Sun Mi. This song is known for her charisma.)
(How would he perform "Gashina"?)
(He makes a cute gesture.)
(Giggling)
(He looks somewhat stiff.)
(Where are the sexy moves?)
(He's become a wooden puppet.)
It looks unique though.
(After a short break)
(Aren't you buying me? Are you leaving me?)
(Is it a story of a wooden puppet who wants to be a human?)
(He raises his hands.)
(Wriggling)
That's it.
(That was fun.)
It wasn't bad.
I think he's faking.
- I got the same feeling. - Is he faking?
As a horrible dancer myself, I know a bad dancer can't dance like that.
I agree with him. When bad dancers dance,
it shows as soon as they put their arms on their hip.
He was aware of...
- what the important moves were. - She's right.
I think he isn't a bad dancer.
Gook Ju is really good at this dance.
(Gook Ju is known as a great cover dancer.)
- Could you show us the key moves? - Sure.
Give us the music.
(Dance copy machine dances to "Gashina".)
(I'll show you.)
(Amazed)
(Her dance lines are distinct.)
That's the key move.
(Her dance lines are distinct.)
She's showing her all.
Look at her flicking her hair.
(At this very moment, I'm Sun Mi.)
(Didn't you fall in love with my charms?)
- There you go. - That was amazing.
She's really good.
She never lets us down.
- You're really good. - She's a great dancer.
I thought you were shooting a rifle when you moved to the side.
- A rifle. - A rifle.
She kept aiming at me. I was really...
It's not a pistol. It's a rifle.
So there's an opinion that he danced the main points well.
Now, I will announce the result of the third match of Round One.
Let's see who will move on to Round Two.
Let's check out the winner of the match!
(The winner will be revealed now.)
(Swing Girl sings with a clear and resonant voice.)
(Swing Girl has a warm voice.)
(Seesaw Man's voice is full of emotion.)
(Seesaw Man has a voice of a sad love story.)
Between Swing Girl and Seesaw Man,
who will be the winner moving on to Round Two?
The winner is...
Today's matches are all intense.
(Is the winner with a warm female voice or an emotional male voice?)
(Who will be the third contestant to move on to Round Two?)
The winner to move on to Round Two is...
The winner is... The winner is...
(Swing Girl is the winner.)
Swing Girl is the winner.
(Swing Girl moves on to Round Two!)
(Let's ride the swing again!)
Swing Girl beat Seesaw Man.
(62 votes to 37 votes)
She moves on to Round Two.
She beat him with the score of 62 to 37.
You may now go to the waiting room. Please give her a round of applause.
(Seesaw Man's identity will be revealed soon!)
Please push me hard on Round Two as well.
We're so curious to find out who he is.
Let's figure that out while watching his solo performance.
Please give it up for him!
(His identity will be revealed through his solo performance.)
(Is he in charge of harmony in a group?)
(Is he a young singer who can breathe comfortably while singing?)
(Is he an idol singer who has less than 5 years of experience?)
(But when he danced to a girl group's song,)
(his shoulders seemed to be pretty stiff.)
(Did he act like he can't dance?)
(A peaceful piano melody fills the air.)
(His clear voice echoes.)
(Who could he be?)
(With you)
Clap your hands.
("Show" by Kim Won Joon)
He's good.
("Show" by Kim Won Joon)
(Here we go.)
(It's show time.)
(Unlike when he sang the duet song, he sounds lively.)
(He boldly raises his arm.)
(Seesaw Man looks comfortable and enjoys the performance.)
(His magical voice makes the audience feel special.)
(His comforting voice encourages the audience.)
Gosh, who is he?
Now...
let's see.
Seesaw Man, take off your mask...
and reveal your face.
(Screaming)
(My goodness.)
He is...
What's with the scream? What is it?
Who is he?
He is...
He's a member of an idol band, Click-B.
He's the handsome vocal of the band. It's Evan!
(Click-B?)
(My goodness. Seriously?)
It's Evan. Evan. Evan.
It's Click-B.
(This excites the big fans of Click-B.)
(It's been a long time since we've seen Yoo Ho Seok.)
(He hasn't changed as if he came here with a time machine.)
(It's hard to believe that his face hasn't changed at all.)
(His bright voice hasn't changed either.)
(Evan sings passionately and turns the stage into his own.)
Gosh, that's the best.
("Show" by Evan, the pleasantly surprising stage)
(It was such a happy time.)
This is amazing.
I had no idea.
I got goosebumps after a long time.
Goodness. You are so cool!
Please say hello to our viewers.
Hello, I'm Evan, Yoo Ho Seok. It's good to see you. Thank you.
All right.
(Click-B debuted in 1999.)
(Through combining band music and dance music,)
(Click-B introduced a new genre of music.)
(Evan was the sub vocalist who captured...)
(women's hearts with his handsome face.)
(Click-B won many awards and dominated the music scene.)
(Evan debuted as a solo artist afterwards.)
(With his own style of music,)
(he became a successful solo artist.)
(He started working as a musical actor as well.)
(He showed great performance as a singer and an actor.)
(He continues to interact with his fans...)
(as he constantly holds concerts and releases new albums.)
(Evan, the prince-like vocalist)
I'm sure a lot of people want to know how you've been.
- I fulfilled my military duty. - I see.
After I got discharged, I had several concerts.
I see.
I looked at him through the telescope, and he's really handsome.
Let me see.
He has a chiseled face.
Actually, Click-B was...
even more popular than the current popular idol groups...
in the old days.
I'm curious...
if they want to reunite again.
We had a reunion project...
two years ago and performed together.
We also released a single album.
Although we're busy with our individual work now,
I believe we'll be able to have that kind of chance again someday.
I see.
I worked as a singer around the same time as Click-B.
I haven't seen him in a long time,
- but we even wrestled in a pool. - That's right.
Do you remember?
- Yes. - Were you two that close?
Yes. Lee Dong Gun and I were a team,
and we had a wrestling match with Click-B on a TV show.
(Evan and Jang Hyuk go way back.)
(Evan, Jang Hyuk)
(Jang Hyuk even threw Evan down on the floor.)
The members of Click-B are really good.
I haven't seen him for a while, so I wondered what he's been doing.
- He's been holding concerts. - Yes.
When he was singing "Show",
I could picture him performing in concerts.
All right. He came back to the stage in a long time...
and showed his own new music. It was Evan.
Let's give him a big round of applause.
(We'll look forward to your great music.)
I hope people will realize that I've been pursuing...
my music career up until now.
I will try to get closer to the public through...
this kind of opportunities.
I hope you will give me a lot of support.
I hope you'll be able to leap further this year,
and have a year full of happiness.
Happy New Year.
(Happy New Year.)
Swing Girl defeated Evan...
and moved on to Round Two.
The last match of Round One.
Her wish for this year is to become the Queen of Mask Singer.
Tell Me Your Wish,
Sunrise Girl!
I, Sunrise Girl, will make your wish come true. Look forward to it.
(Sunrise Girl is here.)
Sunrise Girl feels like...
She mentioned that she wants to be the queen. She must be good.
Let's meet her opponent.
He has a selfish singing ability that hits your ears.
Only I Get to Win,
Full of Luck!
Please listen to my song, and have a great year.
(Sturdy)
(His imposing appearance draws everyone's attention.)
Who is it? Who has that kind of a sturdy build?
(He might be a comedian.)
(The two masked singers look completely different.)
(The song of hope that will light up the new year will begin now.)
("In Life" by Kwon Jin Won)
(A beautiful voice comes out from his sturdy build.)
(His sweet voice makes you perk up your ears.)
(Her mellow, warm voice...)
(blows away the cold of the winter.)
(I want to go on a journey too.)
(Delighted)
(The heart-warming song of the two masked singers...)
(embraces people's cold hearts.)
(Singing)
(Amazed)
("In Life" a heart-warming stage by Sunrise Girl and Full of Luck)
(What a heart-warming performance.)
Gosh, that was amazing.
The last match of Round One is now over.
What did you think?
First of all, Young Seok, you cheered loudly...
when the song started.
Yes. When Full of Luck walked in, I thought...
he would be a comedian.
Yes, from his build.
Yes. But when I heard his voice, I was really surprised.
- It's like he is fully equipped. - "Fully equipped"?
Yes. His voice, breathing skills,
singing techniques, tone, and everything else is perfect.
- He has a powerful voice too. - Right.
The last match is as competitive as the first three.
- Also... - Sunrise Girl?
I think I know who she is.
- Really? - Yes.
I'm surprised she's such a good singer.
- Did she surprise you? - He knows who she is.
Yes. It's just that...
I never thought I'd learn...
how her voice sounds through a song.
You should stop talking now.
- You're right in a long time. - It's her, right?
- Yes. He knows. - I'm not wrong, am I?
- Does he know? - He knows.
You two seem to be sure.
I'm surprised he recognized her.
Do you also agree, Gu Ra?
The ones who don't know who she is are Din Din,
- Din Din. - Nancy,
- Nancy. - and Woo Jae.
Woo Jae.
Seung Woo doesn't seem to know either.
He should know.
Gosh, he's not good at recognizing voices indeed.
He doesn't know.
I have no idea who she is.
It's impossible for us not to recognize her voice.
One thing about her that impressed me was that...
she is more beautiful in person.
- Is she? - Yes.
She is so beautiful in person.
It's hard not to recognize her.
I listened to her album a lot when I was growing up.
- Goodness. - You must have.
It's impossible not to remember her voice.
- Is that so? - Yes.
I don't have a clue.
In fact, that man...
- I mean Ssireum Champion. - He is Full of Luck.
Right. Full of Luck. He was not Ssireum Champion.
- How could you call him that? - He looks like one.
Did you think he was Ssireum Champion because of his body?
When he walked in, he looked bigger than...
Moon Se Yoon and Kim Joon Hyun.
So I thought he was either Yoo Min Sang...
or Park Gwang Deok.
But when I heard him singing, I could tell he was neither of them.
He is neither of them at all.
As soon as he came out, everyone looked at me...
and seemed to think, "That's why you're here."
As far as I know, Min Sang is the only one...
who has such a body.
- The hanbok is tight on him. - I know.
But as soon as I heard the first measure,
I knew he was not Min Sang.
So I had to think all over again,
- but I can't figure it out yet. - Not yet?
I think I know...
- who he is. - You know who he is?
If he is a singer with that big body and such a great voice,
I personally think he might be...
a member of 2BiC.
I'm thinking of another person.
Say any name. It's okay.
- Are you confident this time? - I'm...
so confident this time.
- He's confident again. - I think he's not right.
- You can just say whatever. - I'm certainly confident this time.
I'm serious.
- Shall we share our opinions? - Do you know him?
- Yes, I do. - Both of them look...
- confident. - Then...
why don't you two say those names to my each ear?
Then I'll raise either one of your hands.
(Whispering)
Din Din said the name.
Woo Jae is saying the name now too.
(Time of judgement)
Which one is right?
(Both are right.)
- Are they the same? - They must be.
No, they're not, but both sound plausible.
Keep the names to yourselves.
(Gu Ra turns out to be a wise judge.)
They're not the same man, but both of them sounds plausible.
- Really? - Yes.
- Keep them to yourselves. - Can you verify mine too?
- I want to verify it today. - Say it to Gu Ra's ear.
- Let's see if he'll raise her hand. - You'll let me do what?
- I'll let you verify mine. - Okay.
She won't do anything weird.
(She's letting him verify it.)
(Surprised)
It can be, right?
It can be.
You're saying every name is right.
(See? It can be, right?)
That's a good guess too.
That also sounds good.
- I'm so curious. - It does.
- Are they all different? - Are three of them all different?
All names are different,
- but... - Wait.
- Are there many big singers? - Are you sure?
Every name sounds good.
- If... - Please calm down now.
- I... - Calm down first.
Hyun Chul, please make a comment.
Full of Luck reminds me...
of the famous singer, Christopher Cross...
who sang "Arthur's Theme".
He has a very big body,
but his voice is almost like a woman's.
Although he has big build,
his voice is as sweet as a woman's.
I think that is his case.
If he moves on to Round Two or Three,
I think we can expect he'll hit...
- even higher notes. - As he moves on?
- Okay. - And I think...
Sunrise Girl did a radio show.
- A DJ on a radio show? - Yes.
I think she was a host of a program for social issues...
because her diction is good.
Her diction is really good.
If she is the one I'm thinking of,
she is much senior to me.
- Is she your senior? - Yes.
I didn't know until today...
that she is such a good singer.
- You were surprised. - Yes.
(Each of them gets confident about her identity.)
Am I the only one that doesn't know?
We heard the experts' opinions.
Woo Jae, Bong Sun, and Din Din.
Even after you heard them,
do you still think your guess is right?
- I'm 100 percent positive. - Now...
I collected all the information from the three.
- Yes. All three are different. - And I searched on the internet.
I changed my mind now.
- Did you? - Woo Jae is eliminated.
- Is Woo Jae eliminated? - I knew it.
- I knew it. - I searched...
the name he gave me on the internet.
I found that he had pains in his knees,
and that he lost 50kg in January, 2017 with the help of a doctor.
(He lost 50kg.)
- So... - Who is he?
So he is eliminated.
- Unless he had the yo-yo effect. - Well...
But it was a year ago.
Is it even possible to gain 50kg through yo-yo effect?
- It is definitely possible. - No way.
If he lost 50kg, he can also gain that much.
- 50kg through yo-yo effect? - It's definitely possible.
- Do you really think it's possible? - She says it's definitely possible.
People like me have always gained weight,
we can surely gain 50kg beautifully...
without stretch marks.
We surely can.
I'm not sure because Gook Ju says this,
but that's not easy.
Yes, it's easy.
- I... - Is it easy?
- now... - I won't...
- give up yet. - Woo Jae, you're still all right.
Now, I'll let you watch their specialties...
so that you can be more sure about them.
First, he'll do the voice imitation of Zion. T.
(See?)
The voice of Zion. T.
- Din Din is really excited. - Then...
This is a very important specialty.
- Is it? - Yes.
Please start the voice imitation of Zion. T.
(I was home alone every day)
(My dad was a taxi driver)
That was it.
I think you're right.
I'm sure.
(Shy)
- That was it. - I'll give up now.
- Will you? Woo Jae is eliminated. - Okay. Let him give up.
Who was it that you thought of?
It was Lim Do Hyeok from "Superstar K".
- Lim Do Hyeok? - He lost 50kg.
He lost 50kg.
- He did. - Woo Jae gave up.
- I'm out now. - There are...
Din Din and Bong Sun left.
- I'll keep going. - Will you?
- Yes. - He'll do another voice imitation.
It's Kim Gun Mo's voice.
I think he'll do it well with that voice.
(He is freely showing off...)
(his amazing voice.)
Okay. This is it.
(Amazed)
- That's enough. - He's so good.
That makes me confused.
Din Din, you seem to be confused.
He practiced a lot for that specialty.
Do you think he did?
(He tries hard to stay calm.)
What about Bong Sun?
I have to keep going...
because I've never heard him sing.
Now, Sunrise Girl will let you hear...
her real voice.
(Who on earth is she?)
It's Lee Se Dol, a go player who's on a nine-level rank.
(The voice imitation of Lee Se Dol)
Please start the voice imitation of Lee Se Dol.
Don't give up.
Don't get frustrated.
You can do it!
It was the voice of Lee Se Dol.
(That specialty was short yet impactful.)
(He even seems to be touched.)
Now,
she'll copy Jeon Won Ju's...
laughter this time.
Please start.
(Laughing)
(It's like Won Ju herself.)
(Burst into laughter)
That sounds exactly the same.
(All of them burst into laughter.)
It's the same.
- She should have done that first. - That was great.
- It was. - Yoon Seok, you still don't know?
- Not yet? - Is it Jeon Won Ju?
- Jeon Won Ju? - Gosh.
- Yoon Seok... - He doesn't know.
He has a serious problem.
I'm clueless.
Lastly, she'll copy Kang Boo Ja's cry.
It's Kang Boo Ja's cry. Please start.
Oh, my goodness.
- That sounds just like her cry. - That's enough.
It does sound just like her cry.
(It's over now.)
I think she can do voice imitations...
of more than 50 people.
Do you have a headache, Hyun Chul? What's wrong?
- I laughed too much. - You laughed too much?
He likes that kind of a humor.
(Everyone is pleased.)
Is she a comedian like us?
- Can't you get it? - No, I can't.
(Am I the only fool here?)
Full of Luck will show his specialty this time.
He'll show us a magic trick.
Do you have cards?
He has them. They're in his small bag.
He carries cards in the lucky bag.
He'll do a simple card trick as a warm-up.
(Everyone is focused.)
(He lightly shakes the card.)
(Ta-da.)
(Surprised)
It was just a warm-up.
The real magic trick he'll show you now...
is penetration.
This piece of red cloth will go through a cell phone.
This is an ordinary cell phone. I checked it.
It's an ordinary phone.
It is obviously a smart phone.
(Please give me a round of applause.)
Look at the red cloth carefully.
(The cloth will go through the cell phone in a few seconds.)
It is going through.
Okay. This is it.
That was it.
(He is excited.)
He is amazing. All right.
The result of the last match in Round One...
will be revealed now.
Between Sunrise Girl and Full of Luck,
which masked singer captivated you?
I will reveal the result now.
(Sunrise Girl's gentle voice...)
(made people smile.)
(Full of Luck's stable voice...)
(made the performance comfortable and cozy.)
Who will be the lucky one to move on to Round Two?
The winner is...
(The elegant voice against the stable voice)
The winner is...
(Full of Luck wins.)
Full of Luck won the match.
(Let's go, and have more good luck.)
(They are showing contrast feelings.)
Right. He really did a good job.
Full of Luck defeated Sunrise Girl.
It was 61 to 38.
Please go back to your waiting room. Give him a round of applause.
We'll meet him again in Round Two.
I'll show you more of my singing ability in Round Two.
Look forward to it!
I wonder who she is.
Let's check her identity as we listen to her solo performance.
Please give her a round of applause.
(Does everyone know who she is except for Yoon Seok?)
(She showed off her specialties to help them guess.)
("A Desert Island" by Kim Choo Ja)
Her vibration is amazing.
(Her sentiments lead them to the middle of the East Sea...)
(through the deep resonance.)
(Amazed)
(Immersed)
(The song changes into a cheerful mood...)
(along with the faster rhythm.)
(Excited)
(It's changed into a jazzy mood this time.)
(Everyone's moving to the music.)
(Just like high waves caused by wind,)
(Sunrise Girl brightens the hopeful new year.)
(They're more curious to find out about her the more time passes.)
Now, Sunrise Girl, please take off your mask...
and reveal your identity.
(Surprised)
She is...
(Is that for real?)
(Who is she that they're so surprised?)
She is...
Dose everyone know who she is?
(Yoon Seok, look closely.)
She is...
the forever tempered lady,
Kim Mi Hwa.
(Kim Mi Hwa is finally back.)
(Of course, we recognized you.)
(Goodness, Mi Hwa.)
(It's still unbelievable to see her return.)
(It's been such a long time since she last appeared on TV.)
(Mi Hwa is back to us after clearing away the darkness.)
(How could I not recognize her?)
(Because she missed to be on stage so much,)
(she gets more emotional than ever.)
(The performance goes more exciting...)
(as everyone welcomes her on the stage.)
(She controls the stage with a relaxing gesture.)
(Kim Mi Hwa, who shines the brightest on stage, is back.)
(Good to see you.)
(They're amazed over and over again.)
You're awesome.
(Her junior comediennes missed her more.)
Goodness.
The identity of Sunrise Girl is now revealed.
Sunrise Girl turned out to be Sunrise Lady.
Kim Mi Hwa is the godmother of the comedy field in Korea.
- Say hello to the viewers. - Hello.
Hello, viewers. It's been such a long time.
I didn't know I'd say hello to them through this program.
(She debuted as the official comedienne in KBS in 1983.)
(She's the tempered lady who went viral in the 80s.)
(The monobrow was her trademark.)
(She was the first female comedienne to win the Grand Award.)
(Crying)
(She was the founder of "Gag Concert".)
(She was the leader of the comedy trend in the 90s.)
(Not only in her field, but she was active regarding social issues too.)
("Kim Mi Hwa Donated 10,000 Dollars for the Comfort Women")
(She never hesitated to say what she had to say.)
(She was known for expressing her conviction.)
(But there were times when she couldn't say what she wanted.)
(I couldn't show off my talent.)
(It's nice to have her back.)
Your junior comedians recognized you...
only after listening to the first measure.
Only Yoon Seok didn't know.
- I'm sorry. - I'm upset.
I know.
Do you have a bad eye sight by the way, Gu Ra?
Well, I'm having an aftereffect from my cataract surgery.
- Really? - That's why I'm wearing...
- sunglasses. - I see.
- I missed you. - I know.
Gu Ra had a zombie role when you first debuted in the past.
- It wasn't just that role. - Like this.
- He covered his face with a towel. - Really?
He didn't move all day.
- Do you remember all their roles? - Of course.
This program is about breaking prejudices.
We asked her what prejudice she wanted to break.
"I'm a comedienne,"
"but people think I'm hard to deal with, so I'm concerned."
I hosted current affairs programs for 10 years.
- I hosted those programs... - Right.
with an intention to make good comedy out of it.
But that became my image.
Most young people might not know that I'm a comedienne.
So I want to go back to being a comedienne.
- You still have passion. - Of course.
- You want to work on site as well. - Of course.
I feel so comfortable on this stage.
She founded "Gag Concert" of KBS.
That was the start.
She founded the program...
with Sim Hyeon Seob, Kim Joon Ho, and other junior comedians.
I want to mention this for those who aren't aware of...
the time when she was active in her career.
She was part of the comedy skit, "Sseurirang Couple".
The skit recorded 67 percent of its viewership.
- It's an unimaginable record. - Right.
Did you take jazz lessons for this?
I practiced a lot to appear in here.
But your vibration was...
that of a skilled singer with much experience in singing on stage.
I only mimicked it.
No, you didn't. Your voice...
sounded like that of a person in her early 30s.
Your voice sounded very young, and I enjoyed your performances very much.
I knew she was versatile.
But you really are.
She made the song into hers and controlled the tempo.
Why didn't you say these things when you didn't know her identity?
It would've been nicer then.
What's the use in making such comments now?
Exactly.
- Her solo performance was amazing. - I know.
The result could've been different if you had sung this song first.
I'm so fascinated...
because I feel like we have two hosts for this show.
She looks like a host.
- Let's do this together. - Seong Ju is more like a guest.
- We have a lot to learn from her. - I know.
The godmother in the comedy industry is back.
- She isn't a difficult person. - Don't call me the godmother.
- Just call me by my name. - All right.
- Mi Hwa is back. - That's right.
(She's back.)
Mi Hwa is back in the comedy industry.
Not as a difficult person, but as someone who's fun to be with,
she gave us the pleasant moment.
- Give her a round of applause. - Thank you.
- Go for it, Mi Hwa. - Thank you.
(It was great to see you.)
- Mi Hwa. - Bye.
- Goodbye. - All right.
It was fun.
- I'm sorry. - You better be sorry.
You looked so much like a girl, so I couldn't recognize you.
- Goodbye. - Good job, guys.
Bye.
I was listed on the blacklist and suffered a disadvantage.
Actually, there are a lot of people who suffer a disadvantage.
I want to go back to my original career.
I want to be bright and cheerful.
I want to be seen as a friendly, ordinary middle-aged woman.
I hope people see me as that kind of a person.
Hello, viewers. Happy New Year.
I hope all your bad lucks go away from you...
and a new hope stays with you and your family.
Let's be a little happier this year.
Let's do it.
(Next week)
(The energetic masked queen aims to win 4 times in a row.)
(However,)
(the challengers sacrifice themselves for the throne.)
(and even put themselves into a romance to fulfill their interest.)
(They are tenacious and have a perfect singing ability.)
(Brace yourself, masked queen.)
(She feels exhausted.)
(He's immersed.)
(What's the masked queen's counterattack?)
(That shocking performance...)
(will continue next week.)
