Previously on King of Mask Singer.
The masked singers shocked us with the most unique specialties,
and we were delighted to see the familiar faces.
And four masked singers have survived the intense competition.
Should I Race or Not? Wild Sleigh.
I Love Me, Invincible Single Squad.
Nutcracker with Healthy Teeth.
Ghost Bride Missed Her Bridal Class.
Finally, the last Final Match of 2017 begins.
Will Red Mouth be able to win for the third time?
It begins right now.
(King of Mask Singer)
This is the first match of Semi-finals, Round Two.
His voice races through the score.
Should I Race or Not? Wild Sleigh.
(He will race to the throne.)
(He's ready with V12 engine.)
(Let's race!)
Should I race or not?
(Laughing)
He's greased his voice.
His voice is really amazing.
(He's got a beautiful voice...)
(that will melt our heart in this cold winter.)
(He's a rock singer with an idol singer's voice.)
(Is he the vocalist of Mono,)
(Kim Bo Hee?)
(He's unbelievably cute as well.)
(It's his turn to sing on his own.)
(With which song...)
(will he defeat Invincible Single Squad...)
(and show his super engine?)
("Naked Desire" by Park Wan Kyu)
He's going to race!
(The rock sound overwhelms everyone.)
(He instantly dominates the atmosphere.)
(Let's go!)
(He's changed completely different from Round One.)
(His shouting...)
(shocked everyone.)
(His performance captures our ears and eyes.)
(Who on earth is he?)
(This is crazy!)
(Wild Sleigh's overwhelming energy...)
(excites everyone.)
Gosh, this is so refreshing.
(He sings powerfully and freely controls the tempo.)
(Wild Sleigh races wildly without mercy.)
Get out
(Watch out for the speeding, Wild Sleigh.)
(He can't help but laugh.)
What is going on?
(His engine works at full capacity as he starts rapping.)
(This is what you call a powerful singing.)
(Wild Sleigh poured everything he has into the performance.)
(He's shown us his everything.)
That was amazing.
Yes! Rock and roll!
Is he the same person we saw earlier?
I didn't see this coming at all.
Here comes his opponent.
He beat Actor Kim Byung Se,
and he's in a relationship with his own voice.
I Love Me, Invincible Single Squad!
(Let's go, singles!)
(I'm not lonely.)
(We'll be with you.)
He was very good too.
I think he's formidable as well.
I have a feeling that he'll also perform rock music.
(To the uplifting rhythm,)
(he sang with his powerful voice.)
(He fully showed off his skills on the stage.)
(Is he a singer who has a lot of experience?)
(His singing skill tells that he's an experienced singer.)
(Is he an experienced singer like a veteran?)
(He pioneered a new genre of specialty.)
(Invincible Single Squad has great singing skills and specialty.)
(Against his opponent who gave an impressive performance,)
(what is he going to perform?)
("Balbam Balbam" by Hong Kwang Ho)
Why is it so sad?
It's a ballad song.
He caught us off guard.
(Against the powerful rock music, he sings a calm ballad song.)
(Unlike Round One, the atmosphere is lyrical.)
(He calmly and desperately whispers the lyrics.)
(Step by step, the strong longing...)
(for the lover slowly advances.)
(It's touching.)
Round Two is...
He's really good.
(They're amazed to see his performance.)
Somehow his voice sounds familiar.
(Single Squad fascinates everyone.)
(Impressed)
(His voice gently brings up sad feelings.)
(Without special techniques, his voice sounds touching.)
(Moved)
(His sad voice touches our heart.)
(His deep and resonant voice...)
(carefully expresses the emotion.)
(It was a touching performance that resembled a piece of poetry.)
That was great.
Gosh, what should I do now?
(His impressive performance makes it hard for them to vote.)
I feel like he's a completely different person.
Did he change his outfit?
The first match of...
Round Two is now over.
The two contestants have become different people.
How did you like their performances?
I assumed they'd change, but I didn't know it'd be this different.
First off, as for Wild Sleigh...
I had an idea that he could be a rocker,
but I didn't know he was such an authentic rocker.
His technique reminded me of Kim Kyung Ho when he was at his prime.
His vibrato reminded me of him. He sang in precise tune as well.
His performance is like...
a steam iron that presses a crumpled T-shirt.
It presses all the wrinkles out of the T-shirt.
That sounds interesting.
Actually, the viewers of King of Mask Singer...
have been yearning for such rock music.
So I thought he'd move on to the next round no matter what.
But...
I didn't expect Single Squad to counterattack like this.
I felt like I read a saga that is over 600 pages.
A saga that's written by a skilled writer.
- An epic. - I mean...
It was like a saga.
It was only 4 minutes, but it was as deep as a story of 40 years.
I really love the way he controls the emotion.
One performance was exciting, and the other was touching.
I think it's a really close match.
Last week, someone said he knows...
who Wild Sleigh is.
Hyun Chul said he's the vocal of Mono.
Is he really him?
His stage today was totally different from last week that...
it even made me think he could be a different person.
- Was it totally different? - It was.
I think he has been a rock musician...
ever since he became a singer just like Yoon Seok.
That's what I think.
I can't wait to see his next stage in Round Three.
- As for Single Squad, - Single Squad.
I have a doubt about his identity.
You have a doubt?
Is he a professional singer?
What?
He may not be a singer.
It's because the way he expressed the music...
was a bit different from the way singers do.
What do you mean by that?
Normally, when singers sing repeated parts,
they usually breathe and express the music in the same way.
But he expressed the music in a very composed way...
from the beginning until the end as if it was a drama.
The fact that he has the ability to lead the music like that...
means he can be an actor who happens to be...
a great singer.
Gosh. You think he may not be a singer.
I just have a doubt that he may not be a singer.
- You suddenly became doubtful. - Yes.
I agree with him.
- What? You agree? - Yes.
I thought he's someone...
who is used to expressing his feelings.
He has a voice that sounds like he's reciting a poem...
and sensibility which is moderate, not excessive.
- So I think he may be an actor. - Oh, my.
You agree with Hyun Chul.
Your opinions about him have changed...
all of a sudden.
It has changed completely.
How can he sing that well when he's not even a singer?
Do you think it's ridiculous?
It sounds ridiculous to me.
- I believe he's a singer. - Is that so?
If he's an actor,
I wonder who taught him how to sing...
so perfectly like him.
Young Seok and Hyun Chul have...
opposing opinions now.
(They had different thoughts last time as well.)
(If I'm wrong, I'll be Hyun Chul's younger brother.)
(Young Seok's guess was wrong.)
(He had to put up with the humiliation.)
Young Seok versus Hyun Chul.
I wonder who has a sharper eye.
In Round One,
Key showed a very sharp observation.
Key is taking very good guesses today.
- Is he? - You see,
this is why you need luck. It's important whom you sit with.
- I'm getting great information. - Really?
This one is almost rotten.
John is rotten?
- He doesn't know anything. - Is he like a rotten rope?
I can't get anything out of him.
Key has an idea of who Single Squad is.
He told me about it, and I'm 80 to 90 percent sure...
- that he's right. - Again?
- He's right again? - I think so.
- Key's right? - Probably.
- Really? He was right last week. - He has a really sharp eye.
He recognized Park Jung Min's voice in an instant.
I had no idea who he was in Round One,
but from his stage earlier, I thought he was not a singer,
but probably a musical actor.
I think he's someone who worked on a musical together with me.
- Gosh. - Oh, I see.
Do you all think Key is right?
- Kai is over the hill now. - Is he?
He doesn't know.
- He's not good anymore. - I'm not over the hill.
- He's not good. - Don't say that.
- He's not good. - It can be confusing.
- Key knows who he is. - I also heard Key's opinion,
but I don't think that's who Single Squad is.
- All right. Key. - Yes.
- What's one of his initials? - H.
- "H"? - He has been...
- mainly on KBS' shows. - Yes.
People from KBS are coming over to MBC now because of the strike.
They can't perform on stage as often as before.
- Right. - Many people are coming over.
If you like it here, you can stay for a bit.
Of course.
You can go back as soon as your mask is taken off.
A musical actor whose initial is H?
Good. For now, Young Seok and Hyun Chul have different opinions,
and Kai and Key have different opinions.
John, the rotten rope.
- Yes. Gosh. - They're underestimating you.
Last week, you watched Single Squad's stage and said...
he's either a comedian or an entertainer.
- Did I say that? - You did.
- At the end, - I'm sorry.
you said he's probably either a comedian or an entertainer.
Do you want to take it back?
- Yes. - You don't think so now.
- I was wrong. - I see.
I'm quite sure that he's a singer.
- You think he's a singer. - Yes.
That's why I'm saying he's rotten.
People make mistakes.
Are you always right?
John's right.
I'm rotten too.
(Self-critical)
- Gosh, John is... - It's because...
I was really shocked after watching...
Wild Sleigh's stage.
His stage manners, arrangement, and singing high notes were all great,
but above that, he sang in perfect tune and rhythm.
It made me realize there are still great singers like him in Korea.
Single Squad's song started...
while I was still amazed by Wild Sleigh's stage,
but I was mesmerized by his song without realizing.
- Right away? - Yes.
If he has such an amazing ability to sing and express feelings,
he must be a singer.
I think it'd be wrong if he's not a singer.
- You were wrong last week. - Yes.
Okay. You think he's a singer for sure.
Now, please watch their specialties and take some hints from it.
Firstly, Wild Sleigh.
He will do voice imitations.
Bobby Kim's voice. Let us hear it.
I think I loved you too much
I think I still love you
That's enough.
(His voice sounds totally different.)
Is he an idol singer who just sang rock music?
This is so confusing.
Now, it's Kim Jong Kook's voice.
"One Man" by Kim Jong Kook. Go.
There is a man
Who loved you so much
(He perfectly imitates Jong Kook's thin voice.)
That's all.
He sounds like Jong Kook.
Gosh. All right.
Let's see Single Squad's specialty now.
He wrote that he's a master of yoga.
Please place a mat.
He's not an ordinary man.
He's wearing a military uniform.
What kind of yoga poses will he show us? It must mean he's flexible.
He is...
really good at yoga. He will take...
eagle pose, bow pose, and pigeon pose...
in just three seconds.
Please show us the yoga poses.
(He empties his mind...)
(and gathers his energy.)
(Here!)
(Thud)
That's it.
(Yogi Daniels for 3 seconds)
That's it.
(His flexibility is astonishing.)
Is he a comedian?
All right. Did you all see it?
(Eagle pose)
(Bow pose)
(And with a thud,)
(pigeon pose)
(It's 100 percent precise.)
He knows how to make people laugh.
Right. It was three-second yoga.
- It was very funny. - It was Single Squad.
Three-second yoga.
They are both great singers,
and I think they're great dancers too.
They're both good at dancing.
Wild Sleigh will go first.
He will show us wild hip dance.
Wild hip dance.
Music, please.
It's Michael Jackson's song.
(To "Billie Jean" by Michael Jackson,)
(he starts to bounce his hips.)
(1, 2, 1, 2)
(After warming up his hips)
(Stretching)
- This is a unique move. - He's pulling it up high.
He's pulling it up high.
(He finishes up with a stretch.)
That's it.
Shouldn't it be like this?
What's the matter with you?
Why did you show it to me?
(He surprised her with the dance.)
I liked the part where he pulled up his hips.
- Where he pulled up his hips? - Can you do it 10 times in a row?
- Just this move? - Yes.
- Please do it 10 times. - Only that move in a row.
It's his hip dance. Please play Michael Jackson's song.
(Tapping)
He's warming up.
- That's right. - There you go.
- Keep going. - Yes!
- That's right! - He's good.
- That's right! - Yes! He's turning around.
- That's it! - There you go.
- That's it. - Keep going.
- That's great. - He's good.
That's all.
(His dance has gotten even better.)
He's a talented man.
This time, let's see Single Squad's dance too.
It's his year-end single's dance.
I wonder what kind of dance it is. Music, please.
(Salute to the singles.)
(Let's find the singles.)
(Here, there. There are singles everywhere!)
(There isn't much to life.)
(Let's just have fun.)
(He wittily copies the hip dance.)
He's good.
He's also doing the hip dance.
(He begins to search for the singles.)
It's the end of the year.
Find the singles.
(My fellow singles, respond!)
(Hail to Single Squad!)
(In the sparkling year-end,)
(singles win, couples lose.)
Excuse me.
Seong Ju.
- Yes? - In the sense of harmony,
they should do the hip dance 10 times together to finish up.
- That'd be enough. - Okay.
Please dance to Single Squad's music.
Music, please.
(Are you ready?)
Let's go.
(Their hips go crazy.)
Great.
Good!
They're good.
(He pulls up to his armpits.)
(It's like the stage of the three.)
Great.
Good. Let's see who's better.
(It's hard to decide who's better.)
- Yes! - Great.
Dance harder.
That's right.
(Sexy)
(Restrained)
(It's as if they were a team from the beginning.)
(They showed a perfect harmony.)
It's like a festival.
- Thank you. - It's a festival.
- Thank you very much. - Goodness.
They're impressive.
I feel satisfied as a producer at times like this.
Thank you.
- It was so exciting. - Though it wasn't anything special.
- It was energizing. - The way I see it,
this will be like the second vertex dance.
It'll be a talk of the town if about 20 people do this dance together.
Great.
Nice.
(It's the dance of the year 2018.)
You've seen all their specialties,
and I just received the result.
It's a surprising result.
The panelists' voting result came out to be...
6 to 6.
The panelists couldn't decide on who was better.
The audience's result has the voting difference...
of only five.
Five votes.
I'll now reveal...
the winner of this match.
(He overwhelmed the studio with his explosive energy.)
(Wild Sleigh's voice caught the audience's ears.)
(On the other hand, his voice changed completely from Round One.)
(Single Squad showed another side of him.)
Between Wild Sleigh and Single Squad,
the winner is...
This is unpredictable.
(The panelists' voting result was 6 to 6.)
(Which singer did the audience vote more for?)
Let's check the result. The winner is...
(Should I Race or Not? Wild Sleigh wins.)
(He gets to race to Round Three.)
(As it was so fierce,)
(the panelists show mixed feelings.)
It's 52 versus 47.
With a five-vote difference,
Wild Sleigh wins against Single Squad and advances to Round Three.
Congratulations.
It was so close.
Give him a round of applause.
Please go back to your waiting room.
(The identity of Single Squad will be revealed soon.)
Get ready for the next round.
I'll see you again in Round Three.
Thank you. I can do this.
A lot of you have predicted he'd be a singer.
But Hyun Chul and Kai thought he wouldn't be a singer.
I wonder what his job is.
Please move to the back of the stage.
Now, Single Squad, please take off your mask and reveal your identity.
(They could tell he has much experience.)
(They were 100 percent sure he was a singer.)
(Wait, he might not be a singer.)
(Hyun Chul thought he'd be an actor.)
(Young Seok and Hyun Chul's predictions differed once again.)
(Single Squad knew how to make people laugh.)
(What's the identity of this witty guy?)
(They're curious to know his identity more than any other time.)
(Screaming)
They're going crazy.
Why?
Why are they so surprised?
He's...
He's the versatile entertainer, Kwon Hyeok Soo.
He's Kwon Hyeok Soo?
(He's Kwon Hyeok Soo?)
(He's an actor.)
(Hyun Chul was right.)
(They're shocked and dazed.)
(He's shy.)
He's the actor, Kwon Hyeok Soo.
Hyeok Soo.
He's the actor, Kwon Hyeok Soo.
- Thank you. - I thought he was your friend.
(And he's in shock the most.)
(He mentioned Hyeok Soo's name during Round One.)
(He confidently mentioned...)
(his name.)
(Come on.)
(But the others were strongly against his guess.)
(So he took it back in hurry.)
(He got it right but didn't know.)
I've only heard him sing without much care.
(Even Hyeok Soo's friend didn't know he'd be this good.)
- You're very good. - Please...
Please say hello to the viewers.
Hello, I'm the actor, Kwon Hyeok Soo.
Sweet...
(Sweet potato)
(He's responsible for excitement in this town.)
(He's the witty actor of "Saturday Night Live".)
(Regardless of genre...)
(or gender,)
(he's 100 percent in sync.)
(He's the master of parodies.)
(Mimicking Kim Kyung Ho is his trademark.)
(His voice is more like Kyung Ho's voice than the original.)
(But he's serious when he acts.)
(From comedy to dramas, he's capable of every role.)
(Kwon Hyeok Soo is the charming, versatile entertainer.)
Most of you predicted he'd be a singer.
Hyun Chul and Kai thought he'd not be a singer.
Young Seok kept on insisting.
He did, right?
Gosh, Young Seok.
Say a work, Key.
I thought he was the musical actor, Han Ji Sang.
- Is that right? - Han Ji Sang.
- You worked with him in a musical. - Yes.
When we think of him, we always imagine Kyung Ho's voice.
Can you do it for us?
This is the voice which we're used to.
- I feel bad if people don't ask me. - I know.
Promise me
Seeing each other
(It's exactly like Kyung Ho from the first measure.)
(Even the mouth's shaking looks the same.)
Let's leave on the same day
(He never disappoints us.)
(This is it.)
This voice.
I'm more comfortable with this voice.
- You're good. - It seems to be my voice.
No, they'd all recognize it was you then.
- That it was you. - You're right.
They know that, but in this program,
he used his own voice and sang.
You wanted to check...
- if people recognized you then. - I was curious.
I wondered how much of Kyung Ho's voice...
remained in my voice when I wore a mask.
I was curious too.
But we couldn't hear any of that...
in Round Two.
- Thank you. - It was solemn.
- Thank you. - By the way,
I knew he was good at singing,
but I had no idea he was this good.
I couldn't imagine it'd be him at all.
A lot of people might be thinking the same.
Weren't you surprised when you found out it was him?
I know.
I'm still in shock.
- Right. - The song he sang in Round Two...
was originally sung by the musical actor, Hong Kwang Ho.
It's a musical song.
Not because of that,
but because his own sentiments...
were well-shown in the song,
the panelists must've thought...
he was an experienced singer.
- Thank you. - I see.
- It was such a warm performance. - It was successful.
With an unexpected singing ability,
Hyeok Soo showed off his serious charms.
Please give him another round of applause.
(We'll look forward to seeing more of your charms.)
Good job.
(Good job, Single Squad.)
I didn't show my true self on TV most of the times.
I put on a makeover and sometimes disguised myself too.
That's why I wanted to sing in my own voice.
Hello, I'm Kwon Hyeok Soo.
I performed hard,
but...
I failed
You'll remember my voice, right?
Thank you.
As the result of Round Two,
Should I Race or Not? Wild Sleigh won against Kwon Hyeok Soo...
and advanced to Round Three.
It's the second match of Round Two.
He won against the singer, LE.
He has the sweet voice that melts frozen hearts.
Nutcracker...
with Healthy Teeth.
(Manly)
(He's cool.)
He has a nice voice.
I want to guess his identity right.
I'm so curious.
(His sweet voice made everyone fall in wonder.)
(He wrote a romantic tale with his tender voice.)
(He had stable breathing and was precisely in tune.)
(He showed the exemplary singing method of a singer.)
(He's an actor who's good at singing.)
(But he's way too good.)
(He's good at mimicking others' voices too.)
(Then they were sure he wasn't a singer.)
(His identity is still in mystery.)
(Now, it's time to show off his hidden charms again.)
(In order to melt the audience's hearts...)
(and take a step closer to become a masked king,)
(what song did he prepare to sing?)
("Thanks" by Kim Dong Ryul)
It's "Thanks".
(His voice color is warm like a sunlight.)
(It's good.)
(His sweet voice...)
(soaks in their hearts softly.)
(Be careful not to get your hearts stolen.)
(He builds up his emotions naturally.)
(His emotional voice is sweet like honey.)
It's good.
It's great.
I'm grateful.
(He's done capturing his opponents' hearts as well.)
(House Band)
(He sings with sincere heart towards someone.)
(It's a sincere voice without any technique.)
(Who is he?)
(You're my happiness given by someone.)
(Nutcracker's "Thanks" is full of sweet sentiments.)
(I love it.)
(It's hard to get out of his honey-like voice.)
It's good.
I love it.
It's so warm to hear in the winter.
Against her...
is someone won against Park Jung Min.
She has a lovely voice that makes you want to propose.
Ghost Bride Missed Her Bridal Class.
(Ghost Bride Missed Her Bridal Class.)
(Let's go attract the audience.)
(I'm here again.)
(Welcome)
Gosh, I love her.
- She must be amazing. - She'll do great.
- She'll show her real ability now. - Right, totally.
(Her crystal-clear voice fills your hearts.)
(She's has an experienced singing ability.)
(Did she major in singing and perform in musicals?)
(Young Seok thought her charms were universal enough...)
(to attract those who aren't familiar with vocal music.)
(But Kai had a different opinion as a musical expert.)
(He predicted she'd not be a musical actress.)
(What's your name?)
(She showed off her specialty that was beyond imagination.)
(It's her second stage to show her voice.)
(It makes not only the audience but also her opponent excited.)
(What's her real ability that was hidden all along?)
(The intro is lonely like a cold winter night.)
What's this song?
("Asking to Sowol" by Jung Hoon Hee)
(Oh, my goodness.)
(She makes everyone absorbed in her stage from the first measure.)
(Her sorrowful aria presses down the mood...)
(that it makes them hard to breathe.)
(It's such a sorrowful but beautiful echo.)
It's no joke, right? Isn't she great?
- I'm sweating. - Right?
(Everyone has fallen deeply into...)
(the sentimental storm of Ghost Bride.)
(The sorrowful emotions build up,)
(and she sublimates them into dignified elegance.)
(Her "Asking to Sowol" leaves a strong emotional resonance.)
(They clap without saying anything.)
It's like a tragedy.
(The emotions linger.)
Goodness, it's killing me.
The second match of Round Two has ended.
Kai made a comment about Ghost Bride last week...
that she neither majored in vocal music nor was a musical actress.
It made people very confused.
- I still think the same. - Gosh.
If I give examples of pop singers,
she's like Park Ji Yoon or Lee So Ra.
She uses a head voice when she sings.
But it's not like she uses the classical singing method...
for operatic arias or classical songs.
In my opinion, she did learn vocal music,
but not for vocal music itself.
She must've learned it during the process of finding her voice.
I still think she practiced vocal music for that purpose.
Your opinion is still the same.
I'm sure she's an actress.
- Are you 100 percent sure? - Yes.
I see, but you predicted Nutcracker would be a singer.
- I haven't changed my mind... - Is that right?
- on that either. - You think he's a singer?
Kim Dong Ryul's songs...
usually start with very low notes,
then go very high at the end.
Most men try singing their songs at ease at a karaoke,
but they face their limit soon after.
- It's so hard to sing this song. - Right.
The vocal range is difficult for most men to handle...
because it's very wide.
That's why it's difficult to make your voice pretty...
- when you sing the song. - That's right.
You either struggle with the low notes...
or high notes.
It's one of the two.
He hit both low and high notes skillfully.
That means he is a singer.
- Yes. - He is definitely a singer.
My opinion is the complete opposite.
This is what I think about Ghost Bride.
The way her voice resonates and echoes tells me...
that she has performed more than 500 times.
- She is an opera singer. - An opera singer.
She is in opera.
She is a self-taught opera singer who often performs for charity.
- Did her voice reveal that? - It reveals her good heart.
She sounds like a nice woman.
- She sounds like a nice woman. - Yes.
- It's suits a benefit concert. - That's right.
I agree to Ji Hye on some parts.
Ghost Bride has...
a magical and shamanistic aura.
However, it feels like she has a good heart.
The current Queen of Mask Singer has...
a malicious side.
(What did you say?)
She has a good side.
The discrepancy of her looks and voice warms our hearts.
That's what I think.
- What about Nutcracker? - As for Nutcracker,
his voice sounds young.
It looks like Nutcracker...
has fake mustache.
- You don't think he is old. - No.
He looks like a boy soldier.
- A boy soldier. - That's right.
It looks like he entered school at the age of seven.
- He looks like... - A boy groom.
a young boy.
Do you think Nutcracker is a singer?
I think he is.
John, do you agree?
Yes. However, there is something I want to talk about...
regarding Ghost Bride.
I think she is the completed artist.
- The completed artist. - The perfect artist.
When you take the stage in Round Two, you become ambitious.
- You want to show your charms... - That's right.
and hit high notes. However, she chose what is more important.
She chose to show her style by singing what she wants to sing.
When the song ended,
she sang, "Love," and stayed still.
That's right.
(When the song ended,)
(Ghost Bride froze on the spot.)
(The sentimentality lingered even after the song.)
She remained that way even when Seong Ju entered.
She did.
She is the professional among professionals.
I think she is a talented senior musician.
All right. Now, they will show us the specialties...
they prepared.
Firstly, Ghost Bride will sing "Bird Taryeong".
It will be fusion "Bird Taryeong".
Please sing it.
- When you go to this mountain - Juju Club!
Yay, yay, yay, yay, shocking, shocking
- When you go to that mountain - PPPB!
Look at Mr. Happy
(A sense of shame overwhelms her.)
Classical singing.
(She comes to her senses and continues on.)
(At this moment, with my song,)
(I will enchant everyone.)
Let's end it here.
(That was...)
Her specialty was...
very avant-garde.
It's a fusion.
Actually, I wouldn't say it was avant-garde.
It's was convoluted.
- We like those specialties. - That's right.
These days,
people don't respond with a bout of laughter.
It's okay to have people say, "What is that?"
I am thankful for her bravery.
"What is that?" That kind of a response is nice.
Your first specialty wasn't met with enthusiasm.
I bet you prepared another one in case it was met with enthusiasm.
- There isn't another one. - Really?
- There was no enthusiasm. - I see.
- There isn't another one. - Is this all?
She put this specialty together after much struggles.
Nutcracker has a strong thumb.
You know the thumb war, right? Play it with me.
Let's see how strong his thumb is.
(Moving)
This is what he can do.
This.
He is very good at this.
Is there a panelist who wants to challenge him?
John?
Key?
Let me look at your thumb.
He should have a long thumb.
- His thumb is very long. - John.
(Worried)
He has American hands.
John, come to the stage.
Big thumbs have an advantage. He has big thumbs.
- That's right. - Yes.
John, show everyone your thumb.
Look at that. It's standing proudly.
You are right.
Please hold hands.
Nutcracker has a thick thumb.
His thumb is hard.
- When I felt it... - Twist your thumb around his.
You will win...
if you twist your thumb around his.
(The thumb war, Nutcracker versus John)
Go.
(The Nutcracker's thumb versus The American thumb)
What matters more, length or width?
(The one who must win 2 out of 3 rounds.)
(Nutcracker boasts of his quick thumb.)
(John strikes back with his long thumb.)
(What will be the result?)
(Pressing)
- 1 to 0. - I can't pull out my thumb.
Let's try again.
He has incredible techniques.
(The snap of his thumb is as strong as Pacquiao's.)
How is he so good at the thumb war?
Go.
(The American thumb attacks without holding back.)
(What will be the result this time?)
(For some reason, this is really interesting.)
My goodness.
2 to 0. The match ends.
Nutcracker won.
(I have the Terminator's thumb.)
Good work. Not even the American thumb could win.
He should have fought against Park Jung Min's toes.
It would have been nice.
Park Jung Min's toes...
were as big as his thumb.
We shouldn't have sent him away.
All right.
This is Round Two.
This match is neck-and-neck as well.
Nutcracker captivated our ears with his beautiful voice.
Ghost Bride showed the epitome of sentimentality...
with her soulful voice.
Who will move on to Round Three...
and compete against Wild Sleigh?
I'll now reveal the winner.
(He made the sweetest confession in the world.)
(Nutcracker has a voice that steals women's hearts.)
(She sang a song about a breakup that touched the heart.)
(Ghost Bride has a voice...)
(that is the most beautiful voice in the world.)
Between Nutcracker and Ghost Bride,
who will become the winner of this match?
The winner is...
All right.
- Who was chosen? - It's obvious.
- The winner is... - The winner is...
(Is it the sweet male vocalist, Nutcracker?)
(Is it the sorrowful female vocalist, Ghost Bride?)
Who will move on to Round Three?
The winner is...
Ghost Bride.
(We will fall for Ghost Bride again.)
(Ghost Bride will take the stage once more.)
(It's too bad Nutcracker lost.)
The female vocalist won.
Ghost Bridge beat Nutcracker by 18 votes.
Please give her a round of applause.
Please go back to your waiting room.
Fortunately, they don't know who I am.
It's great that I moved on to Round Three,
but I am exhausted.
People made a lot of guesses about him.
Most people said he is a well-trained vocalist.
Most people said he is definitely a singer.
Let's check his identity.
Please move to the back of the stage.
Now, Nutcracker, please take off your mask...
and reveal your face.
(Is he an actor with singing skills?)
(He is a singer He's too good to be not a singer.)
(He has an extraordinary thumb.)
(Who could he be?)
Now, Nutcracker, please take off your mask...
and reveal your face.
(My goodness.)
- Who is he? - What is it?
- What is it? - They are in a frenzy.
The girls are going crazy.
(Who could he be?)
He is...
the popular actor who played the main character's friend...
in "Age of Youth", Son Seung Won.
(Is he an actor?)
I told you he isn't a singer!
- He is an actor. - He is an actor.
(Ji Hye is the only one who guessed his identity right.)
I told you he isn't a singer!
Hello, it's nice to meet you. I am an actor, Son Seung Won.
(It's nice to meet you.)
(Son Seung Won was a scene stealer in "Age of Youth".)
(He showed performance that made the heart flutter.)
(He became an actor who steals women's hearts.)
(Sometimes, he is sweet. Sometimes, he is tough.)
(He has a wide acting spectrum.)
(He's a musical actor with 9 years of experience.)
(He's got stable acting skills...)
(and amazing singing talent.)
(He's dominated the musical industry.)
(With pure passion for acting,)
(he always challenges himself.)
(Son Seung Won is the actor who steals away women's hearts.)
Many people must've told you that you sing well.
Many people have seen me on TV...
and remember me as an actor who appears on TV dramas.
But actually, I first debuted as a musical actor.
- I'm originally a musical actor. - I see.
My goal is...
to be active in both industries...
and be remembered as a good actor.
- Ji Hye was the only one... - Right.
- who said he's not a singer. - I said he's not a singer.
I was a singer once.
If he had been through the training stage,
he would sound like a trained singer.
But he doesn't. He just sings well purely.
That's how I knew that he's not a singer.
- You felt the difference. - Yes.
His voice is flawless.
I think the definition of a singer must change.
I think he set a new standard.
His performance was amazing.
I wished he'd go further.
I wondered how it would be like...
if he sings a song of another style with his voice.
It's too bad he has to go.
- Thank you. - I didn't get to say this.
It's so unfair.
He can both act and sing so well.
I think he can continue doing both...
acting and singing without a problem.
I want to continue to hearing him sing.
If you made it to Round Three,
which song would you have sung?
It's the song I enjoy singing at a karaoke.
It's Emerald Castle's "Footstep".
- I was going to sing that. - It's too bad.
I saw the musical he did...
called "Hedwig" at Baekam Art Hall.
It's a story about a transgender man.
I was very touched...
and thrilled by his method acting.
If he made to Round Three...
and sang a song...
that could really show what he can do,
more viewers and audiences...
would've voted for him.
- That's why I asked the question. - I see.
It seems that his acting skills have already been approved...
as well as his singing skills.
Showcasing his great singing skills,
he successfully made his debut on a variety show.
Please give a big hand to Seung Won once again.
Thank you.
(We want to see more of you.)
Cheers!
I am a very shy person.
Strangely, I gained courage when I put on the mask.
It was something I used to do when I was alone.
But everyone liked it, and I felt really good.
It gave me the confidence to perform anywhere.
Mom, Dad.
I appeared on the show you love.
I hope you will be happy seeing me here.
I will be a better son and a better actor...
whom you can brag about...
to your friends.
Thank you.
I love you.
Ghost Bride Missed Her Bridal Class...
beat Seung Won and made to Round Three.
The mysterious music show, King of Mask Singer.
Now, it's time to bring out the two masked singers...
who made it to Final Round...
to stop Red Mouth from winning again.
Please welcome them with a round of applause.
They're the candidates for the 67th king.
Wild Sleigh and Ghost Bride...
have made to Round Three.
Queen, what do you think?
What did you think of the two singers' performances?
- They made me tremble with fear. - You trembled with fear.
Yes. Everyone says it's difficult to win three times.
And recently, nobody...
has won three times in a row.
- I am not a greedy person. - Right.
But for some reason, I feel like keeping the throne.
- You must get greedy. - That's how I feel.
Before you sing,
you will have the chance to speak to the queen.
I will put on a more powerful performance.
- Thank you. - All right.
Show us.
While shivering,
he said he'd put on a more powerful performance.
Ghost Bride.
Go away.
(She's my type.)
(She provokes the queen in a cute way.)
Girls are scarier.
"Go away."
All right. Now,
we will start Final Round, Round Three.
Wild Sleigh will perform first.
(Everyone is excited.)
- Wild Sleigh. - Cheers!
(He can sing unbelievably high.)
(He's got the best singing ability.)
(He will begin his last race...)
(to the throne.)
("You As I Remember" by B612)
(The intro plays.)
(And Yoon Seok reacts to it.)
Yoon Seok.
(Wild Sleigh's choice of song touches men's hearts.)
I love this song.
I love this song too.
(His beautiful voice delights our ears.)
(It reminds us of wet fog.)
(Wild Sleigh immerses into his performance...)
(and the sad feelings...)
(of a broken-hearted man touch us more.)
(His ever sorrowful voice...)
(deepens the pain of a breakup.)
(His cry intensifies the pain.)
(He desperately cries out.)
(He expresses the pain in the heart.)
(As the music build up,)
(Wild Sleigh sings with an explosive energy.)
(The high note doesn't seem to end.)
(Wild Sleigh poured everything into the song, "You As I Remember".)
(Wild Sleigh's performance fascinated the audience again.)
That was neat.
Tonight
Gosh, it's incredibly high.
He hits the high note like this.
He's really good at singing high notes.
Here comes his opponent.
She beat Singer Park Jung Min and Actor Son Seung Won.
Her music is immortal.
Ghost Bride Missed Her Bridal Class, Ghost Bride.
(Here comes the bride.)
(Expectant)
Every contestant is outstanding.
My ears are absolutely pleased today.
(She's undisputedly a great singer.)
(Everyone awaits her performance with bated breath.)
(She's challenged by a powerful opponent.)
(What is her last song going to be?)
(What is this?)
("You Don't Love Me" by SPICA)
(Her groovy voice is fascinating.)
(She looks incredibly comfortable.)
(The whole stage is under skilled Ghost Bride's control.)
(She walks around the stage gently and confidently.)
(Her surprisingly good rapping skill was hidden behind her singing.)
(He gets chills.)
(The powerful melody builds up to the climax.)
(She controls the stage like a veteran.)
(Ghost Bride sings passionately to the very end.)
(I think she's incredibly skilled.)
(Bravo!)
(Everyone is captivated by her performance.)
How could she be so good alone on the stage?
(She's awesome.)
The Final Round is now over.
I'd like to hear how the queen...
feels after watching their performances.
How did you like Round Three?
Well, both their performances were intense.
I feel like I'm exhausted.
Can we be looking forward to your performance?
I can't say you shouldn't be.
I will try my best...
and emit the red energy.
You have always shown us shocking performances.
I'm sure many viewers are looking forward to it.
The queen may now go to the backstage...
and get ready for the performance.
Everyone, please give it up for him.
(We will be waiting for you.)
Good. Let's start with Young Seok. How was Round Three?
I have a question to Wild Sleigh.
Do you think I'm a lightning rod?
- A lightning rod? - You threw lightning at me.
(He collected the high notes that are like lightning...)
(and threw it to him.)
(It's a happy electric shock.)
Actually, the field of rock music isn't so big.
Such a great rocker like him...
- must be a well-known person. - Right?
I don't understand why no one knows who he is.
He has a firm grasp of the basics.
I don't know what song the queen will sing today,
but his skills are great enough to make him a king.
- You think his skills are enough. - Yes.
You think he's good enough to take over the throne.
I didn't expect Ghost Bride to give such a dynamic performance.
As she used a different technique, her voice was a little smaller,
but the performance was way more heated up.
It was so heated up that one can fry an egg...
or bacons on the stage.
- It was very hot. - It was a great performance.
I see. All right. What about you, Hyun Chul?
As for Wild Sleigh...
On Round Two, he performed an intense rock music.
It was rock music as well, but something was different.
Before operatic pop became popular,
there was operatic rock.
I feel like I watched an operatic rock aria.
I could picture a hero performing...
operatic rock under the spotlight.
That's the feeling I got.
If he becomes the king,
I have a feeling that he'd be like Music Commander.
He'll be in his element on the stage.
You're right. Once he becomes the winner...
- Once he takes over the throne. - Yes.
- Exactly. - I see.
As for Ghost Bride...
She's almost like a member of a girl group.
The way she controls the stage tells.
This time,
she also...
showed us a certain performance in the end.
(Frozen)
Kai said it can't be,
but I think she might be a musical actress.
- The more you hear her singing? - Yes.
It'd be nice if Kai agrees with you.
- I know. - He's being careful because of him.
Kai, do you stick to your original opinion on her?
I don't think she's a musical actress.
I think she has two sides that are completely opposite of each other.
She may be normally intellectual and classy,
but as we just saw,
she's also full of desire she wants to express.
I think she's an actress who can express both of her characters...
- no matter what song she sings. - An actress?
- That's what I think. - You still think...
- Yes. - she's an actress.
As for Wild Sleigh,
I've never listened to such beautiful rock music like his.
He showed us very clear rock music...
just like purified water.
- I'm captivated by his charms. - I see.
If he was that impressive,
- someone should bring up a name. - I know.
Nobody recognizes his voice.
Even the masters of music here...
don't know his name. It's amazing.
The general public usually don't listen...
to rock music, but there are times...
- when they crave it. - When is it?
I think it's nowadays.
Especially when a great rock musician like him appears.
Since Music Commander left, we've enjoyed different genres of music.
I think it's about time...
people started to miss rock music.
- You think the time is right. - That's right.
While I was listening to his song,
I noticed that it was raining...
on the screen at the back.
It reminded me of "November Rain" by Guns N' Roses.
It's a great rock song which also has the sound of...
- string instruments. - Right.
He showed us such exclusive performance of rock music that...
it reminded me of that song.
I agree with Kai about Ghost Bride.
I've listened to this song on radio and watched its music video a lot.
Since people usually focus on the visual side of SPICA's performance,
it was hard to catch the lyrics.
But as I listened to Ghost Bride's song,
I could see why Lee Hyo Ri wrote those lyrics.
That's why I also think...
she's an actress.
I see.
- About Wild Sleigh, - Wild Sleigh.
everyone seems...
to think he's a rock musician.
But in my opinion, he's certainly a great singer,
but I don't think he's a rock musician.
Perhaps, the reason why he sang rock music today is...
that it's a genre that he hasn't performed in front of people.
That's what I think.
So you think he satisfied his long-waited desire.
Yes. That must be why he could be so passionate...
- and go wild. - We're thinking he's a rocker,
- Yes, but I disagree. - but you don't think so.
We'll have to wait until he takes his mask off.
But it's hard not to think he's a rocker...
because in Round Two,
he chose to sing Park Wan Kyu's song.
If he's not someone who is so crazy about rock music...
that he wants to express rock with all his heart,
it'd be ironic that he chose to sing that song.
It may make sense if he chose that song,
but didn't sing it that well.
But he sang it flawlessly.
- He has what it takes. - Yes.
Near the end, it was amazing...
when his voice sounded thick for a while.
When that happens, most people give up. It's hard to continue,
but he reached the highest note after all.
That means he is an experienced rock musician who has...
incredible physical and mental strength.
- That's what I think. - After listening to you,
- I think he's a rocker. - That's right.
As for Ghost Bride, I just don't think...
an actress can sing that well.
I've never seen an actress who uses so much space on stage.
My final conclusion is that...
she is someone who performs on stage closely to music.
That means she's a musical actress.
You still seem to be confused. Lastly, let's hear from...
Yoon Seok, who is all about rock music.
Wild Sleigh sang "You As I Remember", a song I really love.
When people sing a song with many high notes,
they often spoil the other parts while focusing on the high notes.
But he sang each note accurately from start to finish...
in terms of its length and pitch.
I think Ji Hye made a big mistake.
- Right. - Yes.
I think he's also someone who is all about rock music.
- I see. - I'm sure...
he's a 100 percent rocker. I dare to say.
Meanwhile, Ghost Bride ruled the stage today.
Her dress must've been clean until the rehearsal.
- Right. - It must've gotten dirty...
while she was performing on stage covering so much space.
I also think she would be a musical actress...
to have the ability to rule the stage like that.
- I see. - I believe it's a match...
between a 100 percent rocker and a musical actress.
To sum up, Yoon Seok thinks it's a match between a rocker...
and a musical actress.
Good. Now, I will announce...
the result of Round Three, Final Round.
I think we have an unexpected result.
Who will become the rival of the queen?
Wild Sleigh, a fascinating vocalist...
who is armed with his own depth and singing ability.
Ghost Bride, the queen of music who even controls...
the rhythm with her soulful voice.
Who will be the one to move on to the 67th Final Match?
Let's find out now.
(Wild Sleigh cried out to express the pain of parting...)
(and showed the saddest stage.)
(Ghost Bride, his opponent,)
(dominated the stage with a rhythmical song...)
(and enjoyed interacting with the audience.)
Between Wild Sleigh and Ghost Bride,
whose stage does the audience want to see again?
The winner is...
- The winner is... - The winner is...
The winner is...
Is it Ghost Bride?
- Wild Sleigh? - The winner is...
The winner is...
(Is it Ghost Bride who ruled the exciting stage...)
(or Wild Sleigh who showed off his threatening singing ability?)
The winner is...
Wild Sleigh won.
(Keep running towards the throne!)
(Wild Sleigh is running wild.)
(Congratulations.)
Wild Sleigh!
Wild Sleigh won.
He defeated Ghost Bride with a score of 66 to 33...
and moved on to Final Match.
Please go to the back of the stage and watch the queen's performance.
Let's give him a big hand.
(Ghost Bride's identity will be revealed.)
Wild Sleigh became the rival of the Queen of Mask Singer.
Dear Queen, I'm here.
I hope we'll have a great match.
Good luck!
Let's find out which field she works in...
and what her job is.
Please come to the back.
(Curious)
Now, Ghost Bride, please take off your mask...
and reveal your face.
(A complete artist)
(She must be an opera singer.)
(Kai who thinks she's an actress...)
(versus others who think she's a musical actress)
(Her specialty made it even harder to guess who she is.)
Ghost Bride, please take off your mask...
and reveal your face.
- She is... - Oh, my goodness!
(Is this real?)
Who is it?
- Who is it? - Who is it?
- She is... - Oh, my goodness!
the soulful vocalist of Bigmama,
Shin Yeon Ah.
(Ghost Bride was Shin Yeon Ah!)
Bigmama.
(It's an unbelievable moment.)
Ghost Bride was Shin Yeon Ah, a former vocalist of Bigmama.
Please say hello to our viewers.
Hello, it's good to see you. I'm Shin Yeon Ah.
All right.
(She participated in Riverside Song Festival before her debut...)
(and won the silver prize with her powerful voice.)
(She debuted as a member of Bigmama, the amazing group of singers.)
(They topped the music charts with many of their hit songs...)
(and sold 440,000 copies of their album.)
(With a powerful voice and soulful sensibility,)
(she became an unrivaled ballad singer.)
(They won all kinds of awards and trophies...)
(as they made songs about breakups that everyone can relate to.)
(She taught many great singers such as...)
(Baek A Yeon, Jane Jang, Kim Feel, U Sung Eun, and others...)
(with her broad capacity to cover all kinds of music genres.)
(Shin Yeon Ah, a singer who never disappoints you)
You performed on a TV show after a long time.
It seemed like you tried hard to show...
different singing styles from when you worked as Bigmama.
- And it worked. - It did.
- You fooled us completely. - Yes.
I mentioned BMK and Bubble Sisters...
- Yes, I was surprised. - at the beginning.
I also thought of Bigmama,
but I doubted it because I thought she'd be an opera singer.
- Yes, many of you thought so. - Her singing style was different.
Anyway, I'm really shocked right now.
While many of you thought she was a musical actress,
- Kai didn't. - Kai was...
Kai is good.
He insisted that she wasn't a musical actress...
until the end.
It felt like her singing was too moderate...
for a musical actress.
Because her gesture and singing style showed...
that she wasn't very ambitious,
I thought she was not a musical actress all the more.
In addition, she is a professor now,
so she felt somewhat like a Buddhist saint.
She looked so nice and generous.
- A saint on a charity show? - I thought...
she didn't care a lot about the competition.
She didn't seem to be too competitive.
That was why.
(Everyone could notice she was enjoying the performance.)
I'd like you to talk about...
your future plan to the viewers.
I want to comfort people with music.
I want to remain...
as a singer like a comfortable friend.
I'd like to sing songs...
like your comfortable old shoes.
(Please always be with me.)
Shin Yeon Ah sang high-class songs with her new singing style.
Please give her a round of applause.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
(Please sing heart-warming songs for a long time.)
Good job.
As I sang the song of a group on Round Three, I was short of breath.
(Short of breath)
But the merit of Korean idol groups' songs is...
the fact the it makes people excited.
I was also excited,
and I bet the viewers were excited like me too.
There are some singers I taught such as...
Woo Hye Mi who was on "The Voice of Korea",
Son Seung Yeon, Baek A Yeon,
Kim Feel, and Jane Jang.
Maybe there are some names I don't remember now.
I hope they won't feel sad even if I don't mention them.
Dear viewers,
Ghost Bride was me,
Shin Yeon Ah who used to be a member of Bigmama.
Even though you can't see me on TV often,
I will be always singing songs on stage.
If you want to see me, please come and watch my performance.
I hope you will.
According to the result of Round Three,
Wild Sleigh defeated Shin Yeon Ah,
and moved on to the Final Match.
The mysterious music show, King of Mask Singer.
Only Red Mouth's defense match is left now.
Will Red Mouth win three consecutive times,
and keep her throne?
Now, the queen's performance...
of the 67th Final Match will begin.
(It will start right now.)
The 67th Final Match.
With her unrivaled singing skills that are hard to imitate,
she performs for the third consecutive win.
Here comes the 66th Queen,
Kiss My Lips and Love My Song, Red Mouth.
(Pay attention to the queen's door.)
(Red Mouth, the queen of unrivaled singing skills, appears.)
(She looks so cool.)
Your majesty.
(We missed you.)
Red Mouth is my favorite.
I can't wait to find out what song she will sing.
I feel so happy to watch her performance.
(She has put on shocking shows with her amazing aura so far.)
(On the tough way to the third win,)
(with what song will she show her dignity as the queen?)
("Winter Rain" by Sinawe)
It's a sad song.
It's so spooky.
I feel like it'll be just good.
(Oh, my gosh.)
(The sorrowful voice fills the silence scattered in the air.)
(An appealing voice that sings the plaintive emotion)
(Heart-wrenching resonance that draws everyone's attention)
(The waves of subtle emotions are spreading far away.)
(She is singing the sadness left in the heart with her sorrowful voice.)
(Her voice is dragging people to the deeper sorrow.)
(They're enchanted with her voice at this moment.)
(It's hard to take their eyes off of her performance.)
(She cries out her sorrow that dominates the stage.)
(Her voice sounds sorrowful and lonely as well.)
(It is touching and full of sadness suppressed inside.)
(It's beyond words.)
(They can't get out of the lingering feelings yet.)
She is unrivaled.
- Gosh. - That was awesome.
The Final Match is over now.
Let's listen to Jang Hyuk first since he used to do rock music.
I doubt if there's anyone who can copy her.
Her energy, soul, moves,
and the timing of her sound were all great.
Whenever she wants to describe her feelings...
in a certain way at some points,
her voice changes, and she portrays them very well.
And I think her soul can come out of her body or something.
- Out of her body? - Yes.
It looks as if she could take out her soul,
and show how it looks like to others.
(As if she makes another self in her own world)
It's almost like going into a trance.
I felt something like that when I watched her performance.
She seems to emit...
unbelievable energy sometimes.
That's the aspect many singer are jealous of.
We become professional singers...
to show the energy that fits our purposes.
I'm so jealous...
that she can do that so easily.
That "Winter Rain" was not the one as it used to be.
It was Red Mouth's unique "Winter Rain".
Thank you for your performance.
I'd like to add one more thing for Wild Sleigh.
I was able to notice very earnest feelings in his song.
Earnest feelings can be great energy,
and make the music very explosive.
Thank you for your earnest songs.
Young Seok.
Well... While I was listening to Red Mouth's song,
I was captivated by her too much.
So I had to try hard to remain objective.
Whenever I listen to her song, I feel like...
both greed and greedlessness coexist in her song.
But those two are mixed so well.
It always leads to a good result, so it can't be bad.
She's capable of controlling the song systematically.
Wherever she goes, it becomes a path.
Not everyone can be cool just by doing this.
I think...
such result, reaction and impression were possible because it was her.
She's always special,
but a performance like today isn't just special.
I should rather say it's beyond special.
Anyway, here's my conclusion.
She's demonstrated the standard of singing.
(She's a real music teacher.)
It was wonderful.
("Singing Was So Easy")
Hyun Chul.
Wild Sleigh was like...
the main actor of a rock opera with 100 cast members.
On the other hand,
Red Mouth was like the main actress of a monodrama...
without any audience in a small theater.
A monodrama where there's no mic and she does everything alone.
Where she has to lead the drama for 1 to 2 hours all by herself.
She was like the main actress of a monodrama.
- Gu Ra? - Among my favorite songs,
there's this song by Billy Idol.
Its title is "Eyes Without a Face".
It literally means eyes without a face.
While listening to her singing,
I was so immersed in it...
that I thought she only had a mouth without a face.
"Mouth without a Face"?
In old movies,
there's this hand without a body moving around.
It appeared in a movie called "Addams Family".
Likewise, I felt like she was a live, singing mouth.
- In a good way. - Of course.
It made me lost in a daydream.
(Her mouth must be alive.)
Her reign won't be ordinary for certain.
She may intend to do so,
but it's too unprecedented.
(It's too strong to be ordinary.)
Her life itself is unprecedented.
There's nothing ordinary in her.
Here's what I thought.
When singers listen to another singer's performance,
they happen to focus more on it because it's their job.
But I couldn't focus on how she sang.
Rather, I was totally immersed in it that I got so emotional.
I don't usually feel this way.
If you carefully listen to her singing.
she sings freely without any frame or regulation.
Still, it's perfectly in tune and rhythm.
And it feels a bit like how Jun In Kwon sings.
(Listening to his inattentive singing,)
(you can feel the joys and sorrows of life and its depth.)
She's got her own swagger, and it's like her soul overflows.
It's no joke to listen to her performance in person.
(It's no joke to listen to her performance in person.)
Red Mouth's "Winter Rain"...
was drearier and colder...
than "Winter Rain" sung by any other singers.
It was wet.
It was like winter rain on wetlands.
It's depressing.
But...
I think it's her charm, as well as her spell.
It makes me want to see her again and again.
It makes me excited and look forward to her performance next week.
It's like I'm addicted to her voice.
- It's like drugs. - It's addictive.
Yes.
John, it seems like you want to say something.
Red Mouth is indeed more special...
than any other masked queens and kings in the past.
When she performs, it's like her world is introduced before our eyes.
And we're traveling in her world.
Besides the song,
we also get to have a glimpse of her musical world.
I'm so thankful for giving me such feelings.
It was fantastic. Thank you for your performance.
Gu Ra, it seems like you're asking around to check who voted for whom.
- I thought he was doing an auction. - Goodness.
(He asked around for others' decisions quickly.)
(Did you vote for this one?)
(Of course.)
Do you have an expected result?
Yes, and it seems like...
it's time for Wild Sleigh to stop racing.
He wants to race, but there's no snow.
"There's no snow."
- It's not on his favor. - If you ride a sleigh...
without any snow, it becomes a wreck.
(It becomes a wreck.)
It's asphalt ahead of you. I'm sorry.
I wonder how the final result came out to be.
The year 2017 has passed so quickly,
and the last result of this year will be announced soon.
Let me reveal...
the owner of the throne,
the 67th masked king.
(Like the piled up snow,)
(his performance was soft and tender in Round One.)
(And his performance changed entirely.)
(He overwhelmed the studio in a split second.)
(He showed off his powerful voice in Round Two.)
(He expressed the extreme desperate feelings at the end of his pain.)
(Round Three was full of his delicate sentiments.)
(However, there's a reason why she's the queen.)
(Just her voice is enough to make everyone emotional.)
(Her performance was thrilling and overwhelming.)
(Her singing skills stood out, and it was beyond imagination.)
I'll now announce the 67th masked king or queen.
The winner is...
- The winner is... - The winner is...
(The last masked king to wrap up 2017)
(Will it be the unstoppable Wild Sleigh?)
(Or will it be Red Mouth who showed unique performance?)
The winner is...
Not many hours are left before 2017 ends.
Who will be the last masked king of the year? Not many hours are left before 2017 ends.
Who will be the last masked king of the year?
The winner is...
Red Mouth wins.
Red Mouth.
(She becomes the queen with 3 consecutive wins after 22 weeks.)
Wild Sleigh did a good job too.
What about the voting difference?
She's the last masked queen of 2017.
She successfully protects...
her throne once again with a total of 71 votes.
We'll deliver her the golden mask and the queen's robe again.
(She's given the golden mask and the robe again.)
(It's the last golden mask of the year.)
Please say a few words.
I thought I'd really have to take off the mask today.
I braced myself.
I'm so surprised by the result, and it makes me go more humble.
I'll work harder. Thank you.
(Good job!)
Due to security's reasons, she'll exit the stage now.
Please give her another round of applause.
(We'll look forward to seeing your new charms.)
Please look forward to seeing her unprecedented performances in 2018.
I'd like to congratulate her again.
All right, Wild Sleigh showed us his infinite charms...
throughout his three performances.
I wonder who he is.
Please move to the back.
Now, Wild Sleigh, please take off your mask and reveal your identity.
(He has a powerful singing ability within his young voice.)
(Is he Kim Bo Hee of Mono?)
(She predicted he'd not be a rocker.)
(Yoon Seok was sure he was a rocker.)
(Opinions differed.)
(He showed off his cute charms that weren't helpful in guessing at all.)
(What's the identity of this charming masked singer?)
Now, Wild Sleigh, please take off your mask and reveal your identity.
(Oh, my goodness!)
(I can't believe it!)
He's...
- Who is it? - Who is he?
(Why are they surprised?)
He's...
a skilled rocker with eight years of career.
One Kill, Kwak Dong Hyun.
Kwak Dong Hyun?
(Now they recognize his voice.)
That's right.
Jang Hyuk predicted it'd be him.
No one but he can do such stuff.
Please say hello to the viewers.
Hello, I'm the rocker, Kwak Dong Hyun.
(He debuted as a member of Soul Harmony.)
(He has the infinite voice volume.)
(He freely sings the range of 4 octaves.)
(He appeared in "Hidden Singer" as Kim Kyung Ho from Jinju.)
(He was called the Doppel Kyung Ho and won second place.)
(After that, he challenged himself to do popera.)
(Singing extremely high notes, he broke the prejudice against genres.)
Make some noise!
(He successfully made his debut as a solo artist in July.)
(Kwak Dong Hyun, a singer with shining passion)
With the name, One Kill,
you received a lot of love from people.
But I heard you wanted to let people know your real name.
I'm known to people as One Kill.
But it seems like my real name, Kwak Dong Hyun,
is still too awkward and unfamiliar to them.
I wanted to let them know One Kill is a singer named Kwak Dong Hyun.
You said you wanted to take this chance to sing with your own voice.
- Yes. - How do you think it went?
I have this strong image that I'm a singer who's good at mimicking.
I'm thinking and trying hard to shake off that image of mine.
I'm also challenging myself to try many things.
Please look forward to my future activities.
Please give me a lot of love and support.
(We're rooting for you.)
Dong Hyun didn't try to copy someone else's voice.
I want everyone to know that.
Today became a good opportunity...
for everyone to know who Dong Hyun is.
As his fan, I hope to see more of him in the future.
He's rooting for Dong Hyun.
Yoon Seok seemed...
happiest to meet Dong Hyun.
I was convinced...
that he was a pure rock singer.
The age of rock is coming back.
I hope all the rock singers will cheer up...
- in 2018. Cheers! - That's right.
- I will remember you, Dong Hyun. - Thank you.
Please remember Dong Hyun's voice.
With his voice,
he touched everyone and showed a great performance.
Please cheer for him in 2018.
Please give it up for him.
Thank you.
(Let us see more of you in the new year!)
Happy New Year!
(Let us see more of you in the new year!)
It was my first time to sing a song from start to end...
with my own voice and color.
First of all, it was very overwhelming.
It was meaningful for me...
to know that I got to have this opportunity.
I want to break away from the image as a voice imitator.
I want everyone to know that I am finding my own voice...
and that I am constantly improving.
Today is the last night of 2017.
I hope you will spend happy times with your family and loved ones.
In 2018, I hope that I can move your hearts,
and I'll work hard to make that happen.
Happy New Year. Thank you.
Next week.
(The sun has risen)
(She's cheerful.)
(But don't lower your guard!)
(Amazingly talented singers come to King of Masked Singer.)
(But the panelists won't yield to them.)
(They will show an array of amazing specialties.)
(And they will reveal their shocking identity.)
(Don't miss it!)
