The mysterious music show, King of Mask Singer.
Previously on King of Mask Singer.
She once again surprised us with her song choice.
With her overwhelming charisma, she dominated the stage...
and succeeded to win for the fourth time.
She's the 65th, 66th, 67th, and 68th Queen of Mask Singer.
Kiss My Lips and Love My Song, Red Mouth.
(Red Mouth)
(Ta-da!)
(Nice to see you again.)
(We missed you!)
This is the best way to spend your winter at your home.
The mysterious music show, King of Mask Singer.
I am your unbiased show host, Kim Seong Ju. Hello.
(Unbiased MC Kim Seong Ju)
(Lim Hyeon Sik, Kan Mi Youn)
(Kim Ho Young, Kwon Hyeok Soo)
(Im Se Jun, Choi Yoo Jung)
Please greet the viewers.
Hello. I am the queen, Red Mouth.
(You're great!)
If you win...
for the fifth time,
you will have the same records as Catgirl, Cha Ji Yeon.
Music Commander Ha Hyun Woo won nine times.
And Spirited Lady So Hyang won six times.
She will have the third place in the ranking.
The fourth week is...
when you get the most tired and also the most trusted.
Some of the people who have been watching her all along...
might think that she's a little worn out.
- Right. - And some might...
be overwhelmed by her and vote for her.
Those will happen around this time.
So the queen must be careful.
That's why it's not easy to last more than four weeks.
- She could be a little exhausted. - Of course.
Today, the celebrity panelists...
range from a person in his 20s to a person in his 70s.
We represent all generations.
You're right. The group is very varied today.
Hyeon Sik was born in 1945.
- When were you born? - 1999.
And we have someone born in 1999.
- From 1945 to 1999. - Our group encompasses...
- all generations. - My goodness.
So the result will be quite important.
- That's what I think. - Right.
Hyeon Sik said this to me.
"Is that person a man?"
By the way, he's a man, right?
It's a woman.
- It's a woman. - Is it?
(He scratches his head.)
He doesn't know much about it.
He will just listen and share his honest opinion.
I see.
Watching King of Mask Singer,
I decided...
that I'd sing here one day.
- Right. - So I practiced a little.
- Right. - According to what I heard,
his singing isn't quite there yet.
- We... - You're not quite there.
You can watch the singers and practice a little more.
Then you will be able to perform here one day.
Great. The mysterious music show, King of Mask Singer.
Red Mouth is fiercely going for her fifth victory.
Who will become Red Mouth's new rival?
And who will be the final winner?
The first match of Round One, duet song competition starts now.
(King of Mask Singer)
This is the first match of Round One.
How can this voice be real?
Is That True? Yes! Oki Donkey.
(Is That True? Yes! Oki Donkey)
Do I deserve to be the king?
Oki Donkey!
(Have some money.)
He's very tall. What's that?
He's got charisma.
Contending against him is...
this confident singer without worries.
Don't You Worry, Sleeping Bear
(Don't You Worry, Sleeping Bear)
I guarantee you a good night's sleep.
I will show you how comfortable and warm my voice is.
(Stand here.)
(She confidently walks forward.)
Stop.
- Stop. - Hey.
(She's not awake yet.)
(They looked a little sloppy entering the stage.)
(But they exude...)
(the aura of masters.)
(How will the two singers...)
(do their first performance?)
("Perhaps Love" by HowL and J.ae)
(It was the soundtrack of the 2006 drama "Princess Hours".)
(Their song will bring back memories and make our heart pound again.)
(I'm already into it.)
(Who is she?)
(Sleeping Bear's voice is sweet and pungent.)
(Oh, dear.)
(Oki Donkey's voice is just as sweet.)
(They create a lovely chemistry.)
(I love this duo.)
(That's amazing.)
(Her voice freely bounces around as if it's on top of clouds.)
(My goodness!)
(He's got the voice of a handsome man.)
(They beautifully exchange the whispers of sweet love.)
(Everyone smiles out of happiness.)
(It's lovely.)
(Their performance was as lovely as a new couple.)
Beautiful.
(It was beautiful.)
That was really sweet.
Who should I vote for?
They made two strong singers to compete against each other.
The first match of Round One has ended.
Young Seok, what did you think?
Even though their voices are very different,
they are incredibly good, so it's pleasant to hear them.
- So both of them are good. - Yes.
- As for Sleeping Bear... - Sleeping Bear.
She's not a bear.
(Responding)
It feels like she's like a deer or a cat.
Her voice is very cute and ticklish.
Her singing is really charming.
(Take my heart.)
She's being cute again. She sends you a heart.
You think she's wearing a bear mask, but her voice is not like a bear's.
- As for Oki Donkey... - Oki Donkey.
- He's a carnivorous donkey. - He's carnivorous?
- Yes, he's carnivorous. - He's not herbivorous?
His voice is incredibly powerful.
But because he sang a love song in this round,
he repressed himself a lot.
He's actually a very muscly donkey.
(Proud)
You think he's more like a carnivorous donkey.
By singing this song,
he couldn't show his specialty very well.
If he makes it to the next round,
he will show us his invincible power.
So you think this song rather puts him at a disadvantage.
Yes, that's how I see it.
- I think... - Yes, Gu Ra.
Sleeping Bear seems to be Kan Mi Youn's generation.
Kan Mi Youn? She's a person of Baby VOX generation?
Yes. I think so, considering her singing style,
Mi Youn used to DJ as well.
She's a hidden skilled artist.
- She is indeed. - I often listen to her music.
I'd appreciate it if she could change her seat with Hyun Sik.
There's a huge wall between us.
(As soon as she heard Sleeping Bear's first verse,)
(she recognized who she was.)
(She's 100 percent sure.)
(She shared the information with her neighbors,)
(but one man was excluded.)
(I want to hear that too.)
(Hyun Sik...)
There is...
a lot of information leaking over there.
- You can't hear what she says. - I need to know what's going on.
Then could you turn over the microphone to Mi Youn?
When I first heard Sleeping Bear singing,
I immediately recognized...
- her voice. - Exactly.
- Immediately? - It's because...
I'm actually a big fan of hers. I listen to her music very often.
We'd better watch her out today. She's like a hive.
We should be careful with her.
She and I didn't work in the same time period. She's more experienced.
- Right? - She's an experienced singer.
Hyun Sik, you were born in 1945.
I wonder how you liked it.
What do you mean? Their performance?
- Yes. - Well, it was...
Of course we're talking about the performance.
- As a viewer, - As a viewer.
I have been watching King of Mask Singer.
But now I'm sitting as a panelist.
So I thought I should watch the performance earnestly...
and say everything I want to say.
- You feel responsible. - Yes.
I really...
enjoyed it.
- They are... - Of course you did.
I'm not sure if they are professional singers or not.
Is that so?
If they sing once more, it may be clear.
You think one performance wasn't enough to figure that out.
Between the two, who do you think is a professional singer?
I think none of them are professional singers.
You think they're not?
- So both are not singers. - They're not professional singers.
They must be really skilled amateurs.
You think both are not professional singers but amateurs.
He thinks they were good for amateurs.
It's his personal opinion.
Things were different when he used to listen to music.
Jung Hoon Hee is your junior, isn't she?
- Lim Ja Yeon as well. - Right.
- Back in those days... - Kim Choo Ja and...
- Nam In Soo. Bae Ho. - Bae Ho.
He's more used to listening to their music.
They're amazing singers who used to touch our heart.
Those are what you would call professional singers.
Bae Ho passed away in the 1970s.
So it's understandable.
Everyone has a different taste for music.
- I'd like to say a few words. - Yes, Bong Sun.
Oki Donkey's gestures made me think...
that he's a very skilled dancer.
- His gestures... - Oh, really?
are not those of a horrible dancer's.
The way he bended looked extraordinary.
He danced in a disciplined manner.
He's an incredibly skilled dancer.
Look. The way he bends his body looks remarkably lively.
He's not only a good singer...
but also an amazing dancer. That's what I think.
As for Sleeping Bear...
There was a part where...
she softly sang in whispers.
(The way she sings and moves her hand are unique.)
I think there's something special...
- about how she expresses the music. - Her moves were extraordinary.
- Yes. - I'd like hear...
what Ho Young thinks of it.
Hello. I'm a musical actor. My name is Kim Ho Young.
- Welcome. - Thank you.
(He's a big star.)
He's grabbed everyone's attention through our show.
I think she's not a musical actress.
She's not?
There aren't many musical actresses who act up like her.
- She might be talented, but... - She's not as bad as you.
I'm the type that acts up,
but there aren't many people who react to every single comment.
I think she's a very talented person.
Now, it is about time to show you their specialties.
We'll start with Oki Donkey.
Bong Sun said he seem to be a good dancer.
He said he prepared powerful dance moves that are full of swagger.
Give us the music!
Let's check out his powerful moves.
(His moves are disciplined.)
The way he bends his body looks exceptional.
(He gets ready for the powerful dance.)
Goodness.
His moves look somewhat familiar.
Who is he?
(He makes all the women's heart flutter.)
Goodness, he's full of swagger.
He looks relaxed.
He's an excellent dancer.
That was it. Thank you.
(That donkey is surely carnivorous.)
That was amazing.
(He won all the women's heart.)
- It was perfect. - Bong Sun was right.
I knew it when he made this move.
I got the feeling.
Now, we're going to hear Sleeping Bear's real voice.
She will perform the trot version of a girl group's song.
Please show us.
Ah Choo
(The end)
(What was that?)
Was that it?
Could you sing a little more?
(The cute girls' singing tickles in your bronchial tubes.)
(Ah Choo)
(We can't stop sneezing these days.)
(What she wants to say:)
(Please be careful not to catch a cold.)
(Don't forget to wear a mask to avoid the fine dust.)
That's it. Thank you.
She sings well.
I love that she sings in tune.
She was like a trot singer.
It doesn't matter if it was funny or not.
Her specialty is complete.
(She has a complete specialty.)
You think she's experienced.
I said it doesn't matter if it was funny or not.
Her specialty was complete.
Do you still think she's the person you had in mind?
I'm so happy to hear her voice.
She's very sure about it.
You still think she's the person you have in mind?
- I'm sure. - Does this assure you?
- Yes. - Good.
She will show you her last specialty.
You know what scatting is, right?
Something like this.
Please give it up for her.
(Expectant)
(Let's hear her scatting.)
(Singing)
(Amazed)
(Just by singing a verse, she makes it feel like a jazz bar here.)
(Right then)
(What a nice song.)
(Shall I dance?)
(A groovy dancer enters the jazz bar.)
(Turning around)
(He's good.)
(Look at him.)
(Let's have some fun!)
(Seong Ju is also excited.)
(They are fully enjoying the music.)
(This bar has a nice atmosphere.)
(They end the performance with the same dance move.)
(Bravo!)
That was it.
(Great job.)
The two of them are very talented.
Oki Donkey is a really kind man.
- He's kind? - He's very likely to be eliminated,
but he's dancing so hard.
- You never know. - I think...
he's the type who always does his best.
I'd like to give today's friendship award to him.
- Friendship award? - It's a very important trait.
- Yes, sir? - I think...
those two are really cute.
I hope they make a happy family...
- and live happily ever after. - Well...
You want them to get married.
It means he'd like to wrap it up.
He wants to wrap it up.
Wrap it up?
(I said that because they look good together.)
(His kind comment made them a couple.)
Good. Now,
I'll announce the result of the first match of Round One.
Which of them will be the one to move on to Round Two?
Let's check out who the winner of this match is.
(It will be revealed now.)
(His voice brings love.)
(His sweet voice melts our heart.)
(Oki Donkey has a sweet and gentle voice.)
(Sleeping bear's warm and cozy voice...)
(pleases our hearts and ears.)
(Her voice guarantees a good night's sleep.)
Between Oki Donkey and Sleeping Bear,
who is the winner who will move on to Round Two?
The winner is...
- The winner is... - The winner is...
I have no idea.
(It's an unpredictable match.)
(A sweet male vocalist...)
(or a cute female vocalist?)
Let's find out the first winner.
The winner is...
Who is it? Sleeping Bear won.
(Don't You Worry, Sleeping Bear won.)
- Sleeping Bear won! - Yes!
(It's too bad for Oki Donkey.)
She's really cute.
Sleeping Bear defeated Oki Donkey...
with a score of 58 to 41 and moved on to Round Two.
Congratulations. Please go back to your waiting room.
Let's give her a big round of applause.
(Oki Donkey's identity will be revealed.)
Everyone, see you again in Round Two. Bye!
He is a great dancer. Who could he be?
Let's find out.
Please give him a big hand.
(He has a powerful voice.)
(He's a muscular donkey.)
(He's a great singer and a dancer.)
(Oki Donkey, a man of talent)
(Who is he?)
("You're The One" by Park Jin Young)
It's "You're The One".
I think this is going to be great.
(His good choice of the song raises their expectations.)
(He starts to captivate the audience with his sweet voice.)
(You)
(His straightforward confession makes your heart flutter.)
- His voice sounds so sweet. - Now,
Oki Donkey, please take off your mask...
and reveal your face.
(Oh, my.)
(They have big smiles on their faces.)
They're really excited.
Who is it?
Who is he?
He is...
Shownu, the leader of Monsta X.
(Shownu, also known as Showminator)
(Gosh, really?)
I can't believe this.
(He's a great dancer indeed.)
(Shownu shows off his great singing ability today.)
(Whenever I see you)
(Me?)
(Shownu's solo performance captures people's hearts.)
(Groovy and free footwork)
(His absorbing performance makes everyone focus on him.)
(It makes them dance up and down.)
(Only you)
(You're the one)
("You're The One" by Shownu, a sweet temptation)
(I'm glad I came here today.)
The audience seems very happy to see him.
He's sexy even from a man's view.
I can feel his young spirit.
He's great.
Hello, I'm Shownu of Monsta X. It's good to see you.
All right.
(Monsta X debuted in 2015.)
(Shownu is their leader and the lead vocalist.)
(He's also the main dancer in the center.)
(He's an all-round player who is good at everything.)
(They've topped the music shows...)
(and won various awards.)
(They became one of the most popular idol groups.)
(They successfully had their world tour of 11 countries.)
(They even topped the Oricon Chart Tower Records.)
(With the great physique acquired from swimming,)
(Shownu got the nickname, Showminator.)
(But he's actually a cute guy with sweet smiley eyes.)
(He has charms that capture women's hearts.)
(He's a perfect guy as he can sing, dance, and has great looks.)
(Shownu, a guy with charms you can't escape)
I heard many people think you're a rapper.
You wrote, "I've never rapped in my entire life,"
"but so many people think I'm a rapper."
It's been about two years and a half since I debuted.
Because of my looks and the fact that I'm the main dancer,
many people are surprised to see me sing.
He came to our show to break that bias.
You worked as a back-up dancer of...
- Lee Hyo Ri. - Yes.
That's right. I worked as her back-up dancer when I was a trainee.
Shownu has great dancing skills.
Among the members of Monsta X, Ki Hyun...
performed on our show as Tell Them I am the Dragon King of the Sea.
- That's right. - Did he give you any advice?
He told me that if I lose in Round One,
I can go home early.
- He said you can go home early? - Yes.
But I didn't want to do that.
You wanted to stay here longer.
Ki Hyun, I'm going home early after all.
Let's have dinner together later.
All right.
Okay. What kind of a singer do you want to become?
I hope Monsta X could set a new mildstone on the world stage.
(Mildstone?)
- It's milestone, not mildstone. - Oh, I'm sorry.
- It should be milestone, - Yes.
not mildstone.
- I got confused. - Let's try again.
I hope Monsta X could set a new milestone on the world stage.
That's my goal.
All right. I see.
I think he has great abilities.
I heard Shownu isn't...
the lead vocalist of Monsta X...
- Although he's so good. - when he can sing that well.
That means Monsta X can certainly set a new milestone.
- Thank you. - They have amazing charms...
and amazing singing ability. Shownu and his group are really the best.
- Thank you for a great stage. - Thank you.
I'm sure many people will become your fans now.
He cleared up the misunderstanding that he's a rapper...
and proved his ability as a vocalist today. It was Shownu.
Please give him a big hand again!
Thank you.
(You were amazing today!)
I saw my fans here who recognized me and cheered for me.
It made me think that I should work harder.
Hey.
I'm on King of Mask Singer
I'm not a rapper
(Laughing)
I'm working hard as a singer
Please give me a lot of support
Oki Donkey, okay?
(He's as cute as a puppy.)
This is the result of Round One. Don't You Worry, Sleeping Bear...
defeated Shownu of Monsta X and moved on to Round Two.
The second match of Round One.
He will be today's winner.
I Always Win a Medal,
Medal Hunter!
(I Always Win a Medal, Medal Hunter)
I'm the winner of the gold medal.
Medal Hunter is coming!
(Spinning)
(Please win the gold medal.)
(His skill surprises the panelists.)
He has a sturdy build.
Maybe he practices martial arts.
Let's meet his opponent.
The fire of his passion for singing is blazing up.
Thank You for Your Support,
Torch Man!
(Thank You for Your Support, Torch Man)
Please look forward to my passionate stage.
(He's burning up with passion.)
(You look great.)
(Amazed)
He's very tall.
His appearance is overwhelming.
Those two have similar physiques.
A martial artist came to our show because this is the year of the dog.
I'm sorry?
- What? Who? - What?
That's a new approach.
(Their appearances raise many questions.)
(They already stole women's hearts.)
(Curious)
(Who among these two masked singers...)
(will be the winner of this match?)
("With You" by The Blue)
I love this song.
It's "With You" by The Blue.
It proves how old they are.
(He has a nice voice.)
(His voice captures their ears from the start.)
(Who is he?)
(It's exciting.)
Goodness.
(His soft and clear voice flutters girls' hearts.)
(It's good.)
(Shaking)
(Medal Hunter shakes his body as well.)
(It seems like he's going to get all the medals with his charms.)
(Shaking)
(He enjoys the performance by bouncing to the rhythm.)
(With the exciting rhythm,)
(he releases his joyful spirit.)
Who is he?
- His voice sounds familiar. - I know.
(Medal Hunter's voice is vital and energetic.)
(Torch Man's voice is rhythmical just like his excited mood.)
(His emotions approach the audience sentimentally.)
(They can feel the manliness within Medal Hunter's voice.)
(Excited)
(He's cute.)
(Forever)
(Their harmony made everyone excited.)
(They showed off each of their charms in the song.)
It's hard.
It's driving me crazy. I definitely know his voice.
It sounds so familiar.
Who are they?
The second match of Round One ended.
Hyun Chul finished voting quickly.
We have a prejudice that they might be sportsmen...
because of their nicknames, right?
I think Medal Hunter really is an athlete.
- Is that right? - Here's what's important though.
He must be an athlete who's really good at singing.
- An athlete who's good at singing. - Yes.
- For Torch Man... - Torch Man.
When Hyeok Soo heard his voice,
he looked at Yoon Seok and mentioned the rock spirit.
- Rock spirit? - Yes.
(Without even opening my eyes)
He's good at vibrating his voice.
- That's the rock spirit. - Like this.
(The two thought of the rock spirit.)
It vibrates.
That could be the case,
but I have a different opinion.
Your opinion is different from the two.
I think he's a trot singer.
He sang like a rocker,
but I think his specialty is trot music.
- That's my opinion. - He's a trot singer.
He's either a rocker, or he could be in a completely different genre...
- as a trot singer. - Trot singer.
- It's possible he's a trot singer. - That's right.
He's a ballad singer.
Young Seok's opinion is different.
Tell us if you think differently.
- I think the two don't get along. - Young Seok.
(They're used to seeing them quarrel now.)
Here's what I think.
Son Ji Chang and Kim Min Jong sang this song.
Torch Man's singing style is just like...
Kim Min Jong's.
He has a strong nasal sound.
He mixes a bit of head voice.
He gathers sounds when he sings.
And his vibration too.
It's just like that of Min Jong.
(As it is now)
It's more of a ballad singer than a rocker.
And rather than low notes,
this song sounds better in high notes.
On the other hand, Medal Hunter is like Son Ji Chang.
While Torch Man is good at singing high notes,
he's good at singing low notes.
Medal Hunter.
The warmth of his voice is like...
warm water flowing in a pipe in winter.
I happened to soak in his voice when he first sang.
He made me immersed in the song.
But I do have a similar opinion as Hyun Chul's.
I think he might not be a professional singer.
But the charms of his low-tone voice...
is enough to say he's good.
- By the way, for him, - Yes, about Torch Man.
his liveliness and stuff...
are more than what singers usually have.
I don't think he's a singer.
He isn't a singer?
There's a comedian named Choo Dae Youp.
Choo Dae Youp?
- The one with the glasses? - He's good at singing.
He's amazing at singing.
He's tall too.
- Right. - When he entered the stage,
I thought he was Kim Il Jung.
That sounds plausible.
- Anchor Kim Il Jung? - I met him recently,
but he's bad at singing.
His build is that of Il Jung.
Il Jung was also a sports caster...
in the past.
So I thought it could be him, but when I heard Torch Man sing,
I eliminated his name from the list.
During the performance, he was too...
cheeky to put it simply.
(Dancing)
(When it wasn't his part,)
(he kept on shaking his body.)
(He bounced to the rhythm.)
That's why I think...
he's Choo Dae Youp.
She's the rising source of Gu Ra.
Give us your opinion, Mi Youn.
I'm not sure if he's a singer.
- See? - But...
He's not a singer, right?
- No. - You don't think he's a singer?
I don't think so.
He seemed like he was mimicking a singer.
In case of Medal Hunter,
he's too polite right now.
He is having his hands folded together and isn't moving at all.
I think he's an actor or a comedian...
who's not used to being on stages.
And during the bridge,
he acted like he was playing the guitar, and that's very outdated.
(It's an outdated performance.)
Seeing his stage performance, I think he's pretty...
- He played the guitar. - Right. He kept playing.
(He showed off his old-fashioned guitar playing performance.)
- That's very old-fashioned. - How old do you think he is?
About 38. I think he's in my age.
- Older than 38. - 37. Yes.
Only those older than 38 can do this gesture.
Don't you think he's a singer?
- I don't think so. - I see.
She's the rising tactician of Gu Ra.
She's not my tactician. She's someone whom I respect.
I see.
- Wait a second. - Yes, Jang Hyuk?
I think...
Torch Man is a singer.
Me too.
But you guys keep saying he's not.
- Are you flustered? - Yes.
The way I see it,
Torch Man has such big emotions.
I think he's a singer...
with an acquired singing ability...
who practiced really hard.
I agree with Jang Hyuk's opinion.
- Do you? - Tall people...
like Torch Man...
Of course, it's different case by case,
but generally, singers with high-notes aren't so tall.
- Really? - But like Jang Hyuk said,
Torch Man must've put a lot of effort to acquire...
his high-note vocalization.
- That's why... - It's an acquired skill.
During the performance, he turned around...
as if he was drawing the audience's attention.
His latissimus dorsi muscles are not a joke.
He has amazing shoulders.
He's someone who knows how to put strength...
to his voice.
Can you do that if you have nice back muscles?
Of course. He must be good at doing chin-ups.
He's good at doing chin-ups.
(Is Torch Man good at doing chin-ups?)
In conclusion, I think he's a singer.
(Is he a singer with a good body build?)
Now, it's time that they show off...
their specialties.
Medal Hunter...
can mimic a lot of animal sounds.
Let us hear the bird sound first.
(Bird sound)
(It's like a bird singing in a mountain.)
It's the sound of bird singing in the morning.
What a perfect specialty.
(Proud)
- This time, it's a chicken sound. - Okay.
Go ahead.
(Chicken sound)
(Clucking aggressively)
He is good.
Lastly, he will make the elephant sound.
The elephant sound.
(He makes an elephant's nose.)
(Trumpeting)
(This is a jungle in Africa.)
(His mimicry makes their jaws drop.)
Even Hyun Sik smiled.
(Smiling)
- Weren't the animal sounds spot on? - Yes.
Please say hello to Hyun Sik with the bird sound.
(Hello, Hyun Sik.)
My goodness, it's that bird.
How do birds sing in your neighborhood?
Birds that come to my neighborhood...
- are old. - Are they old?
They say, "Rice or barley."
(Old birds ask for what they want.)
- "Rice or barley." - Are they parrots?
(Smiling)
(He is cute.)
This time, you will hear Torch Man's real voice.
He is good at imitating singers.
(You are too kind.)
Let us hear Yang Hee Eun's voice.
What's your name?
(My goodness.)
(He becomes embarrassed after his specialty goes awry.)
Please try harder.
(It's okay.)
This time, let us hear Zion.T's voice.
Hello, I am Zion.T.
Let's end it here.
(I feel bad for him.)
That was a miss too.
- My goodness. - Now, he will sing.
It's okay. You did well. You imitated Zion.T well.
This time, he will imitate Ha Dong Gyun.
Let's hear it.
(Butterfly, butterfly)
He sounds similar.
(Torch Man burns bright.)
(Fly over here)
(He ruins his specialty in the end.)
I think he is a bit impatient.
There is a three-second rule when it comes to a specialty.
It should be three second long at least.
Even though he sounds similar, he cuts off his specialty too soon.
- That's right. - He should prolong it.
That's right.
Why don't you imitate Zion.T's singing voice?
At home
(It only lasts a second.)
(Angry)
He stops in the middle.
It would be nicer if his specialty is longer.
Would you please go more slowly?
- Go slowly. - Try going more slowly.
Pause if it's necessary.
At home, I was always alone
My dad is a taxi driver
Your specialty becomes ordinary when it's prolonged.
That was the problem.
- His real voice came out. - That was the problem.
There was a reason.
He isn't Choo Dae Youp.
- Isn't he Choo Dae Youp? - He isn't Choo Dae Youp.
Choo Dae Youp has a lot of specialties.
He only sings a lousy song about butterfly.
He doesn't have much to offer.
(Torch Man doesn't care about improving his specialties.)
It's Medal Hunter's turn.
He will move his entire body to the beats...
in the Beat Dance.
Let's begin.
(Beat Dance that uses his entire body.)
(Beatboxing)
(He makes the beats with his hands.)
(Then he raises up the dirt by stomping.)
(What is he doing?)
(They make beats and fine dust.)
(Fine mist warning is issued.)
(When was the last time we saw a clear sky?)
(It's beat with fine dust.)
(They are absorbed.)
(Their dance draws people in.)
(He does his best to capture the beats.)
(Go away, fine dust.)
He is really good.
It's the dance that goes, "Hold the chicken's leg and chirp".
You know,
I recently saw Kim Dae Hee...
doing something similar in "Gag Concert".
- Kim Dae Hee? - He was born in 1974.
Back in the days when Son Ji Chang and Kim Min Jong...
sang as The Blue,
he probably sang their songs at a karaoke.
That could be why he chose to sing their song.
Medal Hunter is good at card tricks.
(Please take these gloves.)
Did you prepare them? What's inside your pocket?
He has miscellaneous specialties.
He brought out two cards.
How will you change them?
I will change them to the light card.
The light card.
That's good. Please change them.
(Hwatu magic trick)
In 1, 2,
(The cards change.)
(Their eyes open wide.)
They changed.
(The cards changed instantaneously.)
Those tricks require...
- time and experience. - That's right.
You played hwatu often back in the days, right?
Considering that,
he seems to be quite old.
I think he is on the older side.
Is he on the older side?
(Is he an old man who enjoys playing hwatu?)
He seems to be someone who has played hwatu often.
Now, I will announce the result of the second match of Round One.
Between Medal Hunter and Torch Man,
who was chosen by the audience?
I'll now reveal the winner of this match.
(He has a clear and pure voice.)
(The gold medal-worthy voice, Medal Hunter)
(He has a mellow voice that melts the heart.)
(The romantic voice, Torch Man)
Whose voice will we hear again in the next round?
The winner is...
(King of Mask Singer)
The winner is...
(The winner is...)
- The winner is... - The winner is...
(A match between the two charming male vocalists)
(Who will move on to Round Two?)
(This is nerve-wracking.)
These two masked singers...
wish for the success of Pyeongchang Olympics.
The winner is...
(King of Mask Singer)
The winner is Torch Man.
(Let's burn it up again.)
- Torch Man. - That' right.
(Torch Man heated up the atmosphere.)
Medal Hunter gave a good performance.
Torch Man beat Medal Hunter...
with a score of 74 to 25 and became the winner.
Please go back to your waiting room. Please give him a big hand.
(Medal Hunter's identity will be revealed.)
I will show more charms in Round Two.
Thank you.
Is he a singer or an actor? There were many speculations.
Who could he be?
We will reveal his identity with a solo performance.
Please give him a big hand.
(His identity will be revealed.)
(He has a charming low voice.)
(Is he an athlete who can sing very well?)
(He gave a realistic animal mimicry.)
(He has miscellaneous specialties.)
(He seems to be on the older side.)
("The Love" by Lim Chang Jung)
(His warm voice calms the heart.)
He has a lovely voice.
(His sentimentality deepened compared to Round One.)
(His voice leaves a resonance in the heart.)
(Everyone falls for his sentimental voice.)
It's a difficult song to sing.
Medal Hunter, please take off your mask...
and reveal your face.
(Screaming)
He is...
- What is it? - What is it?
Who is it?
Who is he?
He is...
an actor with unique charms and a wide acting spectrum,
Kang Sung Jin.
(He is an actor.)
(It was Kang Sung Jin.)
Kang Sung Jin.
He is such a great singer.
(He is incredible.)
(No one guessed Medal Hunter's identity correctly.)
(No way.)
(He has been hiding his singing skills.)
(I had no idea.)
(Today, he expresses his heart...)
(with his singing instead of acting.)
(His ardent singing shows his sincere feelings.)
(He's amazing.)
(His plaintive voice fills the stage.)
He sings so well.
(Kang Sung Jin's "The Love" leaves a deep impression.)
(That was so sentimental.)
He seems to be ageless.
I didn't know it was Kang Sung Jin.
Please say hello to our viewers.
Hello, I'm Actor Kang Sung Jin.
It's nice to meet you.
(He always catches people's eye.)
(He has his own irreplaceable character.)
(From a creepy psychopath...)
(to a funny guy,)
(he can play just every character.)
(He's been in a lot of movies, dramas, and plays.)
(And now he's doing musical.)
(He can play any kind of characters perfectly.)
(He is a man of tireless determination.)
(He's Korea's top character actor, Kang Sung Jin.)
The song he just sang...
is Lim Chang Jung's.
It is a difficult song to sing. It's really difficult.
In fact, his goal was becoming the King of Mask Singer.
He wanted to become the King of Mask Singer and gain fame.
- He's an amazing father. - That was his goal.
Unfortunately, you failed to move on to Round Two.
Actually, my son chose this song for me.
It's my son's favorite song.
He wanted his father to sing it.
And I always tell my son to dream big.
So I came here with a big dream today.
Sung Jin is a family man.
It's been quite long since he got married.
But he recently had a new baby.
I recently... Thank you.
How old is she?
- She's one year old. - Really?
Sung Jin is my age.
But his daughter is just one year old.
He's very family-oriented.
He's family-oriented.
He has a happy family.
I heard you want someone to watch your performance.
Who is it?
I was hoping musical directors would watch me sing.
Musical directors?
I'm not a new actor, so I don't have many chances to audition.
I want to be cast in a good musical play...
and work with great actors...
like Kai and Kim Ho Young on stage.
That was my wish.
But now I don't want them to watch it.
I don't want it anymore.
I'm not going to be cast.
- You think? - Yes.
I want them to watch me next time I try again with my favorite song.
Not with your son's favorite song.
You want to try again with your favorite songs.
This has to be broadcast.
Why?
I've developed my desire to act watching Kang Sung Jin...
in dramas and musical plays.
I've never seen an actor like him...
who can fascinate his audience at his will.
I want a lot of people to watch him...
perform on stage so freely and majestically.
I watched his play, "From the Bottom".
The other actors in the play were much younger than him.
But I saw him lead the actors.
I could tell he truly loves stages.
I could feel it.
Not only in dramas, movies, and plays,
we will look forward to seeing him in many musical plays.
Please give them a big hand.
(We look forward to your future endeavors.)
(You are the best.)
I spoiled it.
Good luck.
I wanted something new...
in my everyday life that could motivate me.
But after I received an offer to join King of Mask Singer,
I felt excited every day.
I practiced a lot and took a deep breath behind the stage,
but I was so nervous.
I haven't felt so thrilled for a long time.
Min Woo, I tried my best...
to sing the song you chose today even though I wasn't good.
I hope you will like it.
And I'll keep trying hard. Please be supportive.
I love you.
Thank You for Your Support, Torch Man...
defeated Kang Sung Jin and moved on to Round Two.
Shortly.
Oh, my goodness.
(Masked singers with dangerous charms are coming.)
(Their clear voice will blow away fine dust.)
I'm doomed.
(A series of unpredictable performances)
The third match of Round One.
Her refreshing voice will remind you of your first love.
Red Head Adolescent,
Strawberry Girl.
My song is very good. Please look forward to it.
(Excited)
(She's cute.)
Red Head Adolescent?
She looks refreshing.
She's sweet.
Her opponent...
is a masked singer with a voice that suits your taste.
Flower Girl...
Loves to Sing.
Please look forward to my beautiful voice.
(Flower Girl is here.)
(Smiling)
She looks cute.
She looks elegant.
(There are two masked singers with refreshing charm.)
(The panelists can't wait to hear their beautiful harmony.)
(The stage is filled with spring scene even though it's winter.)
(It begins now.)
("I'm Different" by Hi Suhyun)
(Her alluring voice catches the ears of listeners.)
(New world)
(Her voice sounds like a clear spring breeze.)
(Pleased)
(Surprised)
(She raps with consummate skill.)
(That's amazing.)
(Let's immerse into the charms of Strawberry Girl and Flower Girl.)
(It was the sharp warning of two cute girls.)
(It was lovely.)
- They are so lovely. - They make a good team.
They look like a team.
It's nice that they're not dull.
(They gave us cheerful energy.)
The third match of Round One ended.
Young Seok, it seems you really enjoyed this performance.
Yes, the performance was dazzling.
The voice of Flower Girl...
is like oxygen.
It's like oxygen?
It's pure. She's very positive...
and talented.
When I was listening to the first verse,
I didn't catch it well.
In the second verse, she started...
to reveal her real talent.
She raps well, and she's relaxed.
She's crazy about singing,
and people will be crazy about her voice.
- Right. - I'm already crazy about it.
- How about Strawberry Girl? - Actually,
before someone like her sings,
people need to be warned...
about how appealing her voice can be.
Her voice is so addicting.
It's very appealing,
and she sings with...
her own style of singing.
Isn't she a rapper?
Does she give off that impression?
I think she might...
- be a rapper. - Young Seok is...
the least reliable one...
among the panelists.
The fact that Young Seok found out about this combination...
means it's time to abandon it.
We've seen a lot of this.
A female rapper and a female singer combination is very common.
- So is that opinion dominant? - I...
I agree with Young Seok.
You think Strawberry Girl is a rapper.
Yes. She's a female rapper, but she is wearing feminine clothes.
- It might be your prejudice. - If Young Seok knows this,
Hyeon Sik must know it too.
- That's what I think. - Right.
Because she's originally a rapper,
she was a little sharp when she was rapping.
This should be the last time for that combination.
He says they should stop combining a rapper with a singer.
But she sang amazingly too.
- So when she rapped, - I was surprised even more.
I was surprised that she could rap just as well.
There's a reason why they're suspecting her to be a rapper.
The song they sang was slightly upbeat.
When singing such a song, you can't pronounce everything.
Strawberry was very bold about what not to pronounce.
- She made clever decisions. - That's why she's a rapper.
Right. But I don't think she is a rapper.
Why are you so fickle-minded?
She does rap well.
But I don't think she is a rapper.
- She raps well. - She raps well.
But she's a singer too.
Hyun Chul thinks she's not a rapper.
When Strawberry Girl sang,
I got transported to a strawberry field.
When she rapped,
it felt like being shocked...
after tasting a really delicious strawberry.
It's so sweet!
Flower Girl transported me...
- to the green tea field in Bosung. - Green tea field.
- Right. - When I was enjoying the scenery,
I spotted something yellow.
And it turned out to be a dandelion.
I was surprised because she sang so well.
She rapped really well too.
And it really surprised me.
- I see. - Yes.
In my opinion...
- Yes, Hyeon Sik. - When I was in school,
- Seo Yeong Chun... - Yes.
- rapped. - Yes.
Go to a mountain to catch a tiger, Go to the sea to catch a whale
Even if you find soda in Incheon
You can't drink it without a cup
(Late Seo Yeong Chun's rap was popular in the 1960s.)
(This might be Korea's first rap.)
Ever since his performance,
I've never seen rappers...
as great as...
- These girls. - these girls.
Now my eyes are starting to open up.
After Late Seo Yeong Chun,
there haven't been rappers as good as them.
Right. And the two girls...
- That's a big compliment. - stared...
They looked at me.
That made me really happy.
The two girls looked at you.
- I am so happy. - You should wink at them.
(He winks.)
(They love it.)
What do you think, Mi Youn?
I think both of them are in their 20s.
- They're in their 20s. - Yes.
I think Strawberry Girl...
is a member of a girl group.
- She's an idol member. - She's very sharp.
The way she moves while singing...
shows that she's a dance singer.
- So she's a dance singer. - Yes.
- Flower Girl... - What about Flower Girl?
seems to be a member of a vocalist group.
- The former singer knows. - A member of a vocalist group.
Then who is older?
This is difficult.
It's not easy to wear a pigtail.
- But Flower Girl is wearing it. - Okay.
It shows that Strawberry Girl is younger.
(What?)
Wait. She's the one with a pigtail.
Why do you say she's younger?
Do you think it's a form of disguise?
I think so. But she's still in her 20s.
- She's very precise. - Gu Ra...
is passionately supporting her.
Now, you will get to hear their real voices.
Strawberry Girl will show us how to act cute...
that could be understood in different countries.
So most people will love it.
She will go to Japan first.
(This is how you act cute in japan.)
(It looks delicious!)
(I am craving for a fruit crepe right now.)
(You want it too, don't you?)
I will make it for you.
(We don't need fruit crepe. We just need you.)
That's how you appear cute in Japan.
That was world-class.
This time, she will go to Thailand.
Show us how to appeal to Thai people.
(Honey.)
You know how much I like you, don't you?
You can't cheat. I will be offended.
(We don't know what she's saying.)
That's amazing.
Only the old men are up.
We are going crazy.
Everyone standing is in his 40s.
That's fascinating.
- All old men are up. - My gosh.
She will go to China this time.
Let's see how to act cute in China.
(Honey, I miss you.)
(Very much. Do you know that?)
(Really? Aren't I the best?)
That's it. That's it.
This is the best part.
I want to treat her jjamppong.
The last is Korea.
- This works in Korea. - We'd know.
We would know.
She will be speaking with her own voice.
Please talk.
Ring, ring, ring.
Are you calling me?
(Yes!)
Hello. Hello.
Honey. What are you doing?
I am in a shoot.
What are you doing now?
Right now, I am doing something.
Doing something?
I...
I am loving you so much.
(Seong Ju loves it.)
- What did she say? - I don't know, but she's cute.
- What did she say? - What did she say?
The old men didn't hear her.
She said, "I'm loving you so much."
- "I'm loving you so much." - "I'm loving you so much."
They still don't get it.
(It's as if he's figured out the truth of life.)
- "I'm loving you so much." - "I'm loving you so much."
(She giggles.)
People liked it.
This time, Flower Girl...
will express a name with a dance.
- A dance? - Yes.
She choreographed a dance to express Kai's name.
Music, please.
(She expresses "Kai" with a dance.)
(She flaps around like a butterfly riding spring breeze.)
She's writing it.
Look at that.
It must be "K".
(It's "K".)
And she draws a downstroke.
(It's "Ka".)
That's it. It's "Ka".
She wrote "Ka".
She's writing "O".
(She skillfully draws a curve.)
She must've written "O".
Go down. That's it.
(She draws the last stroke.)
Kai.
(He loves it.)
She wrote it well.
She transcended name writing into an art.
Watching this...
gave me some clues.
There's a female trio.
- A female trio? - Yes.
They're called BeBe Mignon.
- BeBe Mignon. - And there's Hye Geum.
Hye Geum.
BeBe Mignon is the group Ben used to be part of.
That's right.
I think she's Hye Geum. Are you with me?
Hye Geum from BeBe Mignon.
- I'm not joining him. - She won't join him.
- She wants him to go alone. - Go alone.
Don't you think it sounds likely?
- I'm not joining you. - Let's give her more time.
- I see. - Give her more time.
Now, Strawberry Girl and Flower Girl will show...
their specialties together.
They said they're quite flexible.
They will show you...
how they would walk on a runway.
Let's start with Flower Girl.
Please think as if you're on a runway.
You will get to see why she said she's flexible on a runway.
Flower Girl is warming up.
Now please show us how you walk on a runway.
(She bends back without hesitation.)
This is how she's walking.
(My goodness.)
(She lies on the floor.)
(She sits up.)
(This is the end of her performance.)
That was it.
(No one can deny that she's flexible.)
(I can do that too.)
You can do that too? You can do that?
They're very competitive.
It's Strawberry Girl's turn.
We didn't know they'd be this passionate.
(She stands on all fours.)
(She lightly lifts her body.)
Strawberry Girl can walk like that too.
(She lifts her one leg.)
She proved that she's also flexible.
That was it.
Now, they will walk on all fours at the same time.
Please take off your gloves.
They will cross each other.
- They will cross each other. - Yes.
Ready.
(As he says "ready", they get set.)
Get ready to walk on a runway.
Ready, go!
(What a scene.)
Flexible models walk on the runway.
They're great models.
You won't get to see such a show anywhere else.
Please give them a round of applause.
(The show is over.)
(Their specialty doesn't match their elegant appearance.)
That was great.
One was like a dancer, and the other was like a Shaolin monk.
- He's right. - One was like a Shaolin monk.
Who was like a Shaolin monk?
- Flower Girl. - Flower Girl was.
Flower Girl was like a Shaolin monk.
When you learn acrobatics, the first thing you learn...
is to move like her and do a back handspring.
Flower Girl, can you do a back handspring?
- She can't. - That's a bit too much.
I'd like to hear what Yoo Jung thinks.
I think both of them are a member of a girl group.
You think both are members of girl groups?
- Do you know both of them? - I think I know only one of them.
- Flower Girl? - Yes.
- Flower Girl? - I will save my breath.
- Will you? - Yes.
Good.
Now, I'll announce the result of the third match.
Strawberry Girl has a charming voice like a sweet and sour strawberry.
Flower Girl's fragrant voice is in full bloom.
Which voice did the panelists choose?
Let's check it out now!
(Strawberry Girl sings with a relaxed voice and gestures.)
(She has a stable voice.)
(Flower Girl filled the stage...)
(with her clear and bracing voice.)
Who is the winner who will move on to Round Two...
and sing again on the stage?
The winner is...
(King of Mask Singer)
- The winner is... - The winner is...
It's hard to say who was better than whom.
The winner is...
(It's a voice battle between...)
(the two sweet and competitive women.)
(What will the result be like?)
The winner is...
(Strawberry Girl is the winner.)
Strawberry Girl is the winner!
(They fell in love with her freshness.)
(Happy)
(Sad)
Strawberry Girl. Strawberry Girl is full of cheerful energy.
The score is 55 to 44.
Strawberry Girl has become the winner.
You may now go to the waiting room. Please give her a round of applause.
(Congratulations!)
(Flower Girl's identity will be revealed soon.)
I'm so curious.
I really want to know who she is.
I can't go in there and see, can I?
I promise you I will make an even better performance.
Let's go!
It's time to figure out who is behind this mask.
She will reveal her identity through her solo performance.
Please give her a round of applause.
(Her surprising identity will be revealed through the performance.)
(Her voice is as clear as oxygen.)
(Is she a member of a vocal group who can both sing and rap?)
- Mi Youn doesn't let us down. - A vocal group?
(Did Yoo Jung really recognize who she was?)
(Who is behind this charming lady, Flower Girl's mask?)
("Hey" by IU)
- It's IU's song. - It's "Hey" by IU.
(Flower Girl's voice goes well with the cheerful song.)
(Unlike at the duet match, she sings with a clear voice.)
(Her charms come out through her mask.)
She's good.
Now, Flower Girl, please take off your mask and reveal your face.
She is...
(Seriously?)
She is...
- Who is she? - Why?
Why?
Please reveal your face.
She is...
She used to be a member of IOI with a beautiful face.
She is Kyul Kyung, a member of Pristin.
Kyul Kyung.
(Her previous colleague knew who she was.)
- Of course you knew who she was. - I know.
You're right.
(Who is that? She's pretty.)
(The pretty girl has shown up.)
(Be careful not to get a heart attack.)
(I love her!)
(Lovely Kyul Kyung has a cheerful energy.)
(Her voice is clean and stable.)
(She's so pretty.)
(Let's play!)
(Do you want me?)
(Yes!)
(She has such a great voice.)
(Her Korean pronunciation is as perfect as natives.)
(Gu Ra joins.)
I love you.
(It's her first time performing alone on a stage.)
(Kyul Kyung shows off all her skills on the stage.)
(Darling)
She's so cute.
(Kyul Kyung performed "Hey" with her cute voice.)
(Great job.)
That was a neat performance.
Good job.
(My friend is awesome.)
Please introduce yourself to the viewers.
Hello, I'm Kyul Kyung.
(She made her first appearance on "Produce 101".)
(With her beautiful looks, she ended up making a debut with the team.)
(She worked as a member of IOI in Korea,)
(but she's actually Chinese.)
(She's loved by both men and women.)
(IOI swept the board at many awards.)
(Later on, she debuted as a member of Pristin.)
(She showed off her doll-like face and charms.)
(Pristin's "We Like" hits 9 million views.")
(Their music video hit 9 million views.)
(Kyul Kyung is a rising rookie.)
Actually, Kyul Kyung is not Korean.
- No, I'm Chinese. - You were born in China, right?
- Yes. - I see.
So Hyeok Soo was right about Shaolin monk.
I almost guessed her correctly, didn't I? I mentioned Shaolin monk.
- He's right. - I was right.
- I guessed it right. - He said she's like a Shaolin monk.
By the way, none of the panelists pointed out...
her pronunciation,
which means she's now very fluent in Korean.
Yoo Jung, you said you had an idea whom she could be.
Were you right?
It's impossible for me to not recognize her.
First of all, her body figure was exactly that of Kyul Kyung's.
When I heard her singing voice,
I was sure it was Kyul Kyung.
You figured that out during her performance.
- Yes. - I knew it.
- You knew it? - Yes.
When I decided to be on this show,
I heard Yoo Jung will also be on the show as a panelist.
Since then, I had a feeling that it might not go well.
- You had such a feeling. - Yes. I had that feeling.
- You thought she'd recognize you. - Yes.
But she never revealed your identity,
so many people were curious.
I haven't had many chances...
to sing a song all by myself on a stage.
That's why I wanted to show people...
my cool solo performance today.
I see. She wanted to show people her cool solo performance.
(You did well.)
I think she wanted to prove to you...
that she can make a great stage by herself.
I'm surprised she can say "all by myself" in Korean.
She understands Korean pop music...
even better than Koreans do.
I look forward to her future performance.
- Right. - Thank you.
She's very young,
but she was sincerer than anyone when she performed on stage today,
and she even successfully hid her nationality. It was Kyul Kyung.
Let's give her a big hand again.
(We'll look forward to seeing you shine brightly.)
(Walking down lightly)
(Relieved)
It's over now.
I think I feel more confident now.
It was the first time that people gave me such great compliments.
I've never gotten such compliments before.
I'd like to thank the panelists.
I want to become...
a singer who could give people positive energy.
I can do it! Please give me a lot of support.
Thank you.
Red Head Adolescent, Strawberry Girl...
defeated Kyul Kyung of Pristin and moved on to Round Two.
The last match of Round One.
Which planet are you from?
He has an unbelievably amazing singing ability.
It's No Human Work,
Mysterious Circles!
A man of mysterious charms you can't escape from.
Mysterious Circles is coming.
(Hello.)
(He looks mysterious.)
His nickname tells me he's a great singer.
What are mysterious circles?
They're crop circles with patterns you can see from above.
I think that's what it means.
Let's meet his opponent.
He has a charming voice on a high level.
No One Goes Higher Than Me,
Pyramid Man!
I will go up to the top. Please look forward to it.
(Gentle)
He seems composed.
He looks like an experienced singer.
(Their identities are truly a mystery.)
(What kind of stage will they show us to reveal themselves?)
("Napal Baji" by Psy)
(He starts singing with the voice of a tough man.)
(Surprised)
(His wild singing rages like a storm.)
(A dark horse appears with great dignity.)
(Goodness!)
(He has a charming voice which sounds thin yet heavy.)
(He's an amazing singer.)
(Let's heat things up.)
(I've got shoulder pads)
(I'm wearing bell-bottoms)
(Let's shake it.)
(Bell-bottoms)
(Singing)
(He makes everyone excited.)
(Singing)
(He sings with sharp vibrato motionlessly.)
(He soulfully sings with his husky voice.)
- Is Mysterious Circles a woman? - Isn't he a man?
(Even Mysterious Circles' gender is a mystery.)
I think I know who Pyramid Man is.
(Well, I don't.)
(He steadily sings with a singing style of a rock musician.)
(His singing of high notes sounds clear and intense.)
(Goodness)
(Who is he?)
(Yes!)
(It ruins my mood)
(His solid high-pitched voice spreads.)
(Cheering)
(This is exciting.)
(He overwhelms the audience with his pleasant vocalization.)
(Who on earth is he?)
(It's party time.)
(They make an exciting stage as they sing in fantastic harmony.)
(Let's dance all night.)
(He adds his manly voice to the exciting stage.)
(Mysterious Circles' sharp voice pierces through you.)
(It's an unpredictable match between mysterious vocalists.)
(Applauding)
(You thought it was over, right?)
(It's not over?)
(Let's dance one more time.)
(Flapping bell-bottoms)
(Their singing feels liberating.)
(They make a fantastic duo as if today is their last day on earth.)
(That was great.)
(He conceals himself again.)
(It was an exciting stage that blows away your stress.)
(That was awesome.)
A young rock musician came to our show after a long time.
He's back to this position.
(He's devoted to his duties.)
He's still like this.
The last match of Round One is now over. Young Seok?
Mysterious Circles is an unexpected strong competitor.
When he rapped at the beginning, he pressed his voice down.
I thought he was Lee Park Sa.
(Lee Park Sa has a charming way of vocalization.)
- Lee Park Sa, the singer? - That's right.
I thought I recognized him,
but his voice turned into a voice of a rock musician.
I realized he has an amazing voice.
I think he will impress us once again...
when he shows his true ability during the solo performance.
I believe there will be a big score gap.
- You mean the result of the vote? - Yes.
You think there will be a big gap.
I think Pyramid Man is truly amazing because...
he's still in that position when he's probably going to lose.
Mysterious Circles sang much better, but I'm more curious about him.
- You're curious about Pyramid Man. - Young Seok.
I'm sure he's doing this to get cast on MBC's shows.
He's doing this to appeal to MBC and its producers.
It's not just about this stage.
You think he wants to be on MBC's shows.
The vouchers are probably...
- his means of living. - Right.
He laughed a lot when I mentioned the vouchers.
Vouchers are what we got as our paycheck in the past.
Hyun Sik, you must know.
Comedians would get vouchers from the staff,
and they exchanged them for money at the bank.
The talk of the vouchers is making him laugh.
- He may be familiar with vouchers. - He must be.
- What about you, Kai? - I wonder what will happen...
if Mysterious Circles and the queen, Red Mouth,
have a match at the end.
Do you know who Mysterious Circles is?
No, I don't.
But you think he'll make it to Final Match?
I mean this in a good way.
I think he's an amazing maniac.
- Is his stage bewitching? - He's crazy about music.
- That's right. - I see.
From his performance, I could see Red Mouth's gestures,
hear Lee Park Sa's voice,
and feel Kim Kyung Ho's rock spirit.
I see.
(That's rather creepy.)
It feels like he's been through all kinds of hardships,
and he has given up everything.
I'm talking about that mysterious aura he has.
Mi Youn, you're very popular today with your sharp guesses.
I think I know who Pyramid Man is.
You do?
- Yes. - You know who he is?
I think he's someone I follow on social media.
Are you talking about K?
Yes.
I shouldn't trust her anymore.
Really?
- Gosh, Mi Youn. - Is she wrong?
Goodness. I'm disappointed.
- You're disappointed? - I think...
my blood sugar level dropped too low.
That's something Hyun Sik should say.
I think she's talking about Ko Jang Hwan.
He's much more muscular than Ko Jang Hwan.
The way I see it, he's a singer.
- Really? - A singer?
Yes, a singer.
Let's hear Hyun Chul's opinion.
Yes. When he was standing like this,
- I thought he was Koo Jun Yup. - Right?
- Koo Jun Yup? - I thought so too.
- You thought he was Koo Jun Yup? - Yes.
- But Jun Yup wouldn't do that. - No, he wouldn't.
- He's not Jun Yup. - No.
He's more frivolous than Jun Yup.
Maybe he's Park Joon.
- Park Joon of g.o.d? - Yes.
I think you're right.
- Also, - Everyone knows him.
I find Mysterious Circles amazing.
Even now, he looks very tired.
He was singing such a cheerful song,
but he didn't sway more than three inches.
(He seemed to be dancing only inside.)
(He looked like a mysterious rock that doesn't even breathe.)
- You're right. - It was amazing.
So I think he is so experienced...
- and skillful. - It was a fast and cheerful song.
He touched his belly just now.
Do you have a stomachache? I'm asking because I'm worried.
- You're touching your tummy. - Because I'm hungry.
Because he's hungry.
Didn't you eat because you were nervous?
Or did you just not eat enough food?
- Well... I ate a lot, but... - Yes.
Are you usually lethargic like that?
(Laughing)
- You're so lethargic. - Because he's hungry.
You mean he doesn't seem to have much energy.
- In my opinion... - All right. Im Hyun Sik.
Even Hyun Sik has so much energy...
although he was born in 1945.
I was born in 1945, but don't forget that I was born in December.
(He is so funny.)
He wants to be considered younger.
- He turned two in only a month. - He wants to say he's young.
- As for Pyramid Man, - Pyramid Man.
he was dancing like this.
(Dancing powerfully)
On that green field
- That's an old song. - He sounded like Nam Jin.
Maybe he changed his voice.
In the old days, you danced...
to "Be-Bop-A-Lula" a lot, right?
It was back in the days.
In fact, "Be-Bop-A-Lula" is the title of my movie.
- You mean... - So...
- it's your movie that'll premiere? - Yes.
I tried so hard to film that movie last year.
- Well... - He urged me to talk about it.
- We... - He said, "Gu Ra, talk about it."
- Be quiet. I'm not done. - Okay.
The movie will premiere on January 26.
It's "Be-Bop-A-Lula".
(He is cute.)
Okay. It's time...
to let you hear their real voices.
Mysterious Circles will go first.
He'll mimic Jo Sung Mo's song.
Please start copying him.
(Do you know)
(How much I loved you)
That's it.
(He is good.)
He can be emotional too.
He'll mimic Lee Soo Young's song this time.
It's a woman's voice now. Please start.
(How hard should it blow for you to notice?)
(Amazed)
(How loud should it be for you to hear?)
Okay. You can stop now.
(That is it.)
(He is good.)
Lastly, he'll copy Hyun Sook.
He can do the voice imitation of Hyun Sook too.
Please let us hear it.
(Testing his nasal sounds)
(Hula, hula, hula)
(The one who moves on to Round Two is me)
He's a man, but he's good.
(He's a voice imitation genius.)
He is quite funny.
He has a great sense of humor.
Pyramid Man is trying so hard,
but this guy is funnier.
- Is he funnier? - Yes.
I'm so happy that he did that specialty.
(Sullen)
Now, Pyramid Man will show you his specialties.
It's called Pyramid exercise that is so Egyptian.
Music, please.
(Admire the mystery of the ancient civilization.)
(Exciting music)
(His strong muscles might wake the mummies up.)
(Suddenly twisting)
(Bouncing)
(Should it be called the restrained beauty of muscles?)
(He looks like a mummy that's awaken.)
(He falls right on the floor.)
(Surprised?)
He's exercising.
It's not over yet.
(What now?)
(Wiggling)
(It's such an unidentifiable and weird dance.)
(Please give me a big hand.)
That was it.
(He is so talented and funny.)
He is amazing.
People are fascinated by Pyramid Man again now,
but Mysterious Circles will show...
his dance too.
Will he be able to dance in that outfit?
(Taking off)
He is taking off his robe.
- Mysterious Circles. - He is so thin.
He is. He'll start...
his powerful dance. Music, please.
(He chose "Growl" by EXO featuring powerful dances.)
It's "Growl".
(It's almost the same.)
(Slipping)
(But he has a good sense of balance.)
He almost fell down,
but he didn't.
It's quite slippery here.
Growl.
(Do not eat my food!)
(I'm hungry!)
His moves are so swift.
He is very nimble.
(You might get hurt if you won't let me eat.)
This is it.
(We'll treat you to a meal.)
He is wonderful.
- I firmly believed... - Seong Ju...
that he was a rocker.
Seong Ju hurriedly helped him put on his robe.
So I think that he might be a woman.
When Mis.Mr's member was here before...
(They thought Viking Ship was a male vocalist,)
(but it turned out that it was a female singer.)
Is it a woman?
(The shocking twist made them so puzzled.)
I think it is possible.
Okay. You may think whatever you want.
(They're even confused about the sex.)
While Mysterious Circles captivated the audience now,
Pyramid Man will show you...
his odd specialty.
He says he can't feel any pain at all...
on his sides...
and his belly.
So his specialty is...
calligraphy without pains.
Please get ready.
(Calligraphy without pains?)
Mysterious Circles,
please tickle and pinch him.
You usually ask one of the panelists to do such things...
but the two of them are doing on their own this time. So...
(He suspects that they may cheat.)
Then let's check how hard he can pinch.
Mysterious Circles, please pinch me.
Please pinch him hard.
Let's see how hard he can pinch. Go ahead.
(Screaming)
Okay. We'll trust you.
We'll trust you, Seong Ju.
I feel suddenly offended.
(He can pinch really hard.)
He has strong fingers.
You should not make any sound nor get irritated.
- Mysterious Circles... - Okay. He is taking off his gloves.
Good. He should pinch him with his bare hand.
Mysterious Circles' fingers are so strong.
He can wet his fingers to pinch.
It hurts.
- Will it be okay? All right. - Yes.
Ready, set, go.
(Yawning)
(Pinching hard)
That must hurt.
Goodness. He should feel the pain.
Don't be nervous. Don't tickle him.
It'll be of no use.
- You have to pinch him. - You have to.
(Only Mysterious Circles is making a fuss.)
That must hurt. Gosh.
For goodness' sake.
He's done writing. That's it.
(It's still amazing though they're looking at it.)
His handwriting is great.
He wrote this without being disturbed.
(All he thinks about is a voucher.)
- "Voucher". - "Voucher".
(He mentions a voucher once more.)
- "Voucher". - Seeing that he wrote "voucher",
I'm sure he's in the same field as mine.
He is a comedian.
Thank you. Please give him a big hand.
(You are great.)
Now, I'll reveal the result...
of the final match in Round One.
Almost all the panelists...
voted for the same person.
(One looks hungry, and the other is peeking.)
I didn't say who it is.
Between Mysterious Circles and Pyramid Man,
by whom were the panelists...
captivated more?
It's going to be revealed now.
(With his unique and high-pitched voice,)
(it was so easy to understand the lyrics.)
(Contending against Mysterious Circles,)
(Pyramid Man performed impressively...)
(with his attractive husky voice.)
The lucky one who will move on to Round Two is...
The winner is...
(Who got most of the votes from the panelists?)
The winner is...
(King of Mask Singer)
Between Mysterious Circles and Pyramid Man,
the winner is...
It is...
(Mysterious Circles wins.)
Mysterious Circles won.
(Let's fall for the mysterious world.)
Good. Let's go, Mysterious Circles.
- What's the score? - Let's go.
The result is...
(76 to 23)
76 to 23.
Some of the regular panelists voted for you.
(I'll remember those 23 votes.)
Mysterious Circles, please return to your waiting room now.
Please give him a round of applause.
(The identity of Pyramid Man with a husky voice will be revealed soon.)
Now that I already won in Round One,
I'll keep challenging until I become the king.
The face of Pyramid Man who is really into vouchers...
is going to be revealed now.
Let's find out while he sings.
Please give him a big hand.
(It's time to reveal his identity with his singing.)
(He kept the same pose throughout the whole time.)
(He made people more and more curious.)
(Is he the social media star...)
(Ko Jang Hwan?)
(Some say he is a professional singer.)
(As he is funny like a comedian, it's even harder to guess.)
("Thought of You" by John Park)
- I like this song. - It's John Park's song.
"Thought of You".
(The intro of the song makes people's hearts flutter.)
(It's sweet already.)
He's good.
(His falsetto is different from his husky voice but still charming.)
(Who is he?)
(I think about you)
(Now it's time to reveal his identity.)
Now, Pyramid Man, please take off your mask and reveal your identity.
(Screaming)
(I love you!)
(Screaming)
- Why? - He must be popular.
Who is he?
He's...
the rising top star in social media.
He's the comedian, Kim Jae Woo.
(Pyramid Man is Kim Jae Woo.)
(Welcome.)
(He's one of us!)
(He's on stage after a long time.)
(It's so nice to see you!)
(Goodness, it's him.)
(He's nervous, but he does his best to sing.)
(They become one through music.)
(He makes eye contacts with the audience.)
(Screaming)
(He's busy singing, but he tries to communicate with the audience.)
(You're the best.)
(He makes a mistake.)
(It's all right.)
(He made a slight mistake, but he calmly continues his performance.)
(The stage prankster communicates with the audience until the end.)
(This side too!)
(He makes eye contacts until the end.)
(He was shy, but he did his best to perform "Thought Of You".)
(Good job.)
(You're the best.)
I thought he was a hip-hop singer.
He's really popular on social media these days.
He's the comedian, Kim Jae Woo.
Please say hello to the viewers.
Hello, I'm Comedian Kim Jae Woo, who's walking on a man's path.
Hello.
(He was the leader of the popular comedy segment in 2000.)
(He became popular by acting a child with unexpected charms.)
(He formed the forever comedy group, Namolla Family.)
(With his sacrificing spirit for comedy,)
(he won Top Excellence Comedy Award in 2006.)
(He advanced to the music industry as a rapper.)
(He's a versatile star who can handle various acting roles too.)
(Man's path)
(He created a catchphrase in social media: "This is the man's path.")
(Revealing his marriage life, he became popular on SNS.)
(He posted about how his wife kept making him curry...)
(and how types of curry were sorted out by country in his house.)
(They even visited India at last.)
(He filmed various commercials and constantly makes us laugh.)
(He's the born comedian, Kim Jae Woo.)
You released a few albums as a member of Namolla Family.
We released about 20 albums,
but my part is only about 60 seconds.
We tried to cast you because we thought you'd enjoy singing.
But you rejected the offer several times.
I am tone-deaf and have stage fright too.
So I kept rejecting the offer.
What made you to join us?
- It's because of my wife. - Your wife.
She wanted me to give her the touching three seconds...
when I take off my mask and turn around.
(What a devoted husband.)
- So... - Goodness.
(You're sweet.)
I was so nervous.
I wasn't sure if it was right...
to show you my poor side.
But I'm happy to give this gift to my wife.
I won't eat curry tonight.
(His wife prepared fried rice for dinner that day.)
It was also because of your wife that you became a trendy SNS star.
Right.
I debuted in 1999. It was quite early.
But one day, like someone was doing a prank on my life,
I stopped getting work.
Instead of earning no money, I was more concerned...
that maybe there wouldn't be any people waiting for me anymore.
I was going to give up and look for another job.
My wife advised me to have some real fun...
if I was going to have fun...
because I had only been working until then.
She told me to go anywhere I wanted to go.
That's how I started doing social media as our diary.
And people liked it very much. I'm so grateful.
(You two are really sweet.)
Here's what Jae Woo told us.
He's never caused trouble in his 20 years of career.
But a lot of people think he's self-reflecting.
(That's hilarious.)
(This is not right.)
Did you hear this a lot?
I know I don't look amiable.
That may be why people think I caused trouble...
when they see me.
I look like I caused trouble once.
But I never cause any trouble. I don't drink either.
I'm living all right. I'm not self-reflecting.
- You're always ready to appear. - Of course.
- I need to make a lot of money. - I know.
For his family,
he came up on the stage despite his stage fright.
He showed us his warm side as the head of his household.
- Give him a round of applause. - Go for it, Jae Woo.
(We're rooting for you.)
It was fun, Jae Woo.
My hands were shaking so much.
My legs were shaking.
I thought the viewers might feel uneasy to see my hands shake too.
So I put my hands on my chest like this.
I found peace after then.
I asked the writers,
and I visited the practice room the most of all the masked singers.
I'm so sorry to my vocal trainer.
Yoo Ri.
You're the iron of my life.
I rejected to appear in good programs like this...
because of my stage fright.
But thank you so much for helping me take my courage...
as a celebrity and as a husband.
Pyramid Man was me, Comedian Kim Jae Woo.
I'm going to have curry now.
