Previously on King of Mask Singer.
The masked singers captured our attention with charming dances...
and an impersonation battle against the original impersonator.
The unexpected identities of the masked singers shocked us.
And...
4 strong contestants with 4 different charms...
have survived to stop the masked queen from winning again.
Don't You Smell Something Burning? Autumn Girl.
Samulnori Boy of Heungtan Boys.
Cheese Kingdom, Princess Fondue.
Dance and Sing Like a Bird, Black Swan.
Dongmakgol Girl succeeded to win for the fourth time.
Will she succeed to defend her throne once again...
and be the third longest running queen?
It starts right now.
(King of Mask Singer)
This is the first match of Round Two, Semi-finals.
This masked singer has previously beat Yoon San Ha of Astro.
Go away, queen. Go away.
Don't You Smell Something Burning? Autumn Girl.
(Don't You Smell Something Burning? Autumn Girl)
(My passion is burning.)
(She's burning.)
(Hello!)
It's her.
She's mysterious.
- She's covered in a veil. - She's covered in a veil.
She's clothed like a teacher.
A social studies teacher.
(With her thin yet strong voice,)
(Autumn Girl expressed the emotion of a lonely, heartbroken person.)
(She controlled her voice in an impressive way.)
(Her voice was perfect like a CD recording.)
(She had the quality of a veteran singer.)
(She was wearing pants...)
(a social studies teacher would wear.)
(But her talents were not old-fashioned like her outfit.)
(And the panelists suspected her of being a returning singer.)
(She's at the heart of controversy.)
(Everyone is more excited about the second performance.)
(She's nervous.)
(Her original performance begins.)
(The stage becomes red.)
What's this?
- She's like Sunwoo Jung A. - She's like Sunwoo Jung A.
(She sounds much like Red Mouth, Sunwoo Jung A.)
(With which color will she fill the stage?)
Is it HyunA's song?
(Is it HyunA's song?)
("Red" by HyunA)
(We never guessed it was this song until we heard the lyrics.)
(The dreamy feeling makes it sound completely different.)
(They are dumbfounded.)
(This is amazing.)
(Her ad-lib amuses everyone.)
(My goodness.)
(Who is she?)
That was totally unexpected.
We haven't heard something like this in a long time.
I realized it was "Red" only after listening to it for a while.
It's completely rearranged.
(Is she rapping too?)
(She's amazing.)
(Yes!)
(This is crazy.)
(She dyes the stage with the charming red color.)
(They are in love with her.)
(Bravo.)
(Autumn Girl's "Red" was insanely charming.)
(That was unbelievable.)
(Autumn Girl did it.)
That was this autumn's best song.
It was the best.
She was amazing.
I have no idea who she might be.
- You have no idea, right? - I have no idea.
But why is she so good?
Her opponent...
is this masked singer who beat SinB of GFRIEND.
My song is great.
Samulnori Boy of Heungtan Boys.
(Samulnori Boy of Heungtan Boys)
(Dancing)
(Are you ready to have fun?)
(We are ready!)
I am so excited for this person.
- I am so excited too. - Yes.
Two strong people are competing.
They are both very strong.
(His strong and loud voice...)
(gently embraced our ears.)
(Jung Si Ro used to be in the same team with Yu Young Seok.)
(Is he a rock musician similar to Jung Si Ro?)
(Is he someone who got eliminated in the second time?)
(Is he Kim Dong Myung, the lead singer of Boohwal,)
(who came back for the third time?)
(He's got the talent of mimicking singers.)
(What is the identity of this man who has so many talents?)
(It's time to start the party again.)
(Will he beat his red rival...)
(and go a step closer to the throne?)
(What would Samulnori Boy's second performance be like?)
(It starts with the mellow sound of a piano.)
What's this?
("You Look Like a Rose" by Min Hae Kyung)
- No way. - My goodness.
The two performances are extreme opposites.
(Unlike in Round 1, he gently whispers.)
(He's happy.)
He's not a rock musician.
(For the solo performance, he chose to be mellow.)
He plays with the rhythm.
(She's 1 second away from falling in love.)
(His voice tickles our hearts.)
(She's impressed.)
(He warms up the stage with his penetrating high notes.)
(Here we go!)
(He's a cheerful boy after all. The performance has to be exciting.)
(This is what we wanted!)
(Dancing)
(Screaming)
(Everyone is excited.)
(I'm excited too.)
All of them are good, but I have no idea who they are.
I know. It's always like that.
(Samulnori Boy enjoys the performance in a relaxed way.)
(Unlike earlier, he sings with a husky and powerful voice.)
Gosh, this is exciting.
(His powerful high notes run across the stage.)
(Everyone is absorbed in the performance.)
(Samulnori Boy knows how to have fun on the stage.)
Okay, let's go!
(House Band)
(Even his ad-lib is perfect.)
(Samulnori Boy has a cheerful and refreshing voice.)
(Samulnori Boy passionately performed "You Look Like a Rose".)
That was a great performance.
My gosh, it was amazing.
It was truly amazing.
- It was almost like Final Match. - I agree.
The first match of Round Two is now over.
Young Seok seems very impressed.
I expected them to show great performances,
but I didn't expect two very different performances like this.
I see.
Both their performances remind you of the passionate color, red,
but their passion seemed very different.
One was a dark and charismatic passion,
while the other was a bright and powerful passion.
Autumn Girl's performance was very charming.
As you heard, she was rapping too during the performance.
I almost thought she could be a rapper.
She has a very good grasp of rap music.
Her singing skills...
and rapping skills are equally good,
so she makes me think of her as an all-around musician.
Overall, the color of her performance...
is similar to Sunwoo Jung A.
I see.
It's a little dark.
Her performance was like a black hole that draws you in...
while you can't resist.
I was thinking she would take over everything,
but Samulnori Boy started to perform at that moment.
The darkness was suddenly gone,
and this place was filled with light.
You might think he's just a bright singer...
who cheers us up,
but that's wrong. He's a great singer.
Unlike samulnori, he wasn't using only four instruments.
He was using all kinds of instruments.
He was showing everything he had.
It's either the darkness that covers up the light...
or the brightness that clears up the darkness.
It's a match between the two. It's very interesting.
I guess you made a choice according to your taste.
It seems like there are a lot of people...
who were reminded of Sunwoo Jung A by Autumn Girls' performance.
I wonder how Sunwoo Jung A liked the performance.
I felt like watching my child.
I could feel the red energy.
But I know this person.
- You know her? - I know her.
- Yes. - Really?
- Yes. - Do you know her?
But you didn't recognize her in Round One...
The funny thing is that I recognized her by her rapping...
although she's a vocal.
- When she was rapping? - I recognized her then.
- But she's a vocal? - Yes.
Is she one of the people in your circle?
- Yes. - I see.
And somehow, I felt like Samulnori Boy...
isn't far from my circle either.
- Is he? - Yes.
I got completely fooled.
Last week, I said he sounded similar to Jung Dong Hwan.
But he totally got me.
He was just perfectly disguised as a rocker.
So you're saying he's not a rocker?
Yes. I think he's a soul vocal.
And his voice...
isn't just an unpleasant screeching when he hits high notes.
It sounds very refreshing.
But it's soft at the same time.
It's like the sound of vintage musical instruments.
He has such a charming voice.
It's so frustrating that I don't know who he is.
Last week, Hyun Chul also said...
that Samulnori Boy had rock music techniques.
He must have been grinning inside when I said that.
You're changing your mind again.
Anyway, I think these two...
are aiming for the throne today.
People who have taken the throne share a certain pattern.
They perform faster songs in Round Two,
change the mood,
and play with the audience's heart.
Then they sing ballad songs in Round Three.
Both of them have been following this pattern.
I think they both think they will take the throne.
- They're aiming for the throne. - Yes.
They tried to go with the pattern from Round One to Round Three,
- but then they met each other here. - Exactly.
- One of them has to be eliminated. - That's true.
By the way, Autumn Girl...
has an amazing control over her breathing.
She can hit...
numerous notes in one breath.
She has an incredible lung capacity.
Last week, Bong Sun said she looked like...
a social studies teacher.
That's right. Her pants made her think so.
She said the length of her pants were somewhat short.
But she's a completely different person now.
She's now a detective.
- A detective? - Yes. She's like a detective.
She's ready to catch the culprit.
She has piercing eyes.
Now that you say that, she kind of looks like a detective.
- She's like a detective. - She's like an investigator.
So she's not a social studies teacher.
- No, she's not. - So you guys have mixed opinions.
- That's right. - Yes.
And Samulnori Boy...
still has energy left.
He can sing even higher notes more powerfully.
There's still a lot of potential.
His performance was very holy.
- Holy? - Yes,
I felt honored.
And it made me think...
he might have been performing black gospel music.
(Wincing)
Soulman?
(Could he be Soulman?)
That sounds likely. His performance does sound like black gospel music.
Many panelists seem confused.
It reminded me of black gospel music.
(Is Samulnori Boy really a black gospel musician?)
For the first time, Yoon Sang...
came to our show last week.
- Yes. - You must be pretty flustered.
I think my radar might be broken.
Both Autumn Girl...
and Samulnori Boy...
I can see they're experienced...
like they have had dozens of solo performances before.
But no name nor face...
come across my mind.
I think my radar is broken.
But you feel like you should know them?
I've been in this field for over 30 years.
- That's true. - But...
Anyway,
until she sang, "Monkeys have red bottoms",
I didn't know it was that song.
She made the song sound like her own song.
Even professional singers have difficulties with that.
I was touched by her performance.
But Samulnori Boy...
showed his relaxed performance. How can one be so relaxed...
in a competition? I could see he was enjoying it.
And his vocal was perfect.
- So I should know him. - You should.
You should have some ideas about who they could be.
That's why we invited you today.
I'm sorry I can't think...
of any certain people.
But they're skilled enough...
for me to think that I should know them.
If nothing comes across Yoon Sang's mind,
I'm sure many people must be confused.
All right. Let's check out their specialties.
This might help you clear up...
the confusion.
Let's start with Samulnori Boy.
Sunwoo Jung A, watch him carefully.
He should be on her radar.
He might be disappointed.
He's going to do...
impressions of Batman and Joker...
from "The Dark Knight"...
at the same time.
He will play two roles alone. Please let us hear it.
Who are you?
(He turns around.)
(Smacking)
Joker.
Who are you?
(He's immersed in playing 2 roles.)
I'm Batman.
That was it.
(He sounds quite similar to them.)
- That was a good script. - Yes.
The Joker has a Glasgow smile,
so he often smacks his lips.
- It was a very detailed imitation. - That's right.
Well, it looks like he might be an actor.
We can't see that from this voice imitation.
I'm just saying that it's possible.
This time, let's hear Autumn Girl's real voice.
She imitated some rappers in the previous round.
She will imitate Jung In's voice now.
She will imitate Jung In's voice...
with her real voice. Let us hear it.
(Love is something)
(You can't control)
(Even after a long time)
That's it.
(Their jaws drop.)
- That was amazing. - Lastly,
she will imitate Sunwoo Jung A's voice.
(What? My voice?)
Jung A said that Autumn Girl is probably someone she knows...
and that she does have someone in mind.
Sunwoo Jung A's voice. Let us hear it.
(It somehow makes them nervous.)
(Dear butterfly)
(Fly over to me)
That sounds just like her.
Right?
(They give her a standing ovation.)
(Oh, my goodness.)
(Autumn Girl sounded just like Jung A.)
She even did that in front of me once.
Now, I'm sure that she is who I think she is.
- She showed you this once? - I don't...
- sing like that, do I? - Then you shouldn't do that here.
Maybe she should've sung a different song.
You never mentioned that to us.
You showed her this once?
We almost got in a fight because I didn't think...
I sounded like that.
- Oh, really? - I didn't expect her to do it here.
- You didn't think it was good? - No.
Then let's hear how Sunwoo Jung A actually sings.
Please sing the same song. Go ahead.
("Butterfly" by Sunwoo Jung A)
("Butterfly" by Sunwoo Jung A's friend)
That sounded just like you.
(They sound exactly the same.)
That sounded just like you, Jung A.
(Really?)
(Proud)
Samulnori Boy, you seem a bit anxious now...
since Autumn Girl is getting all the attention.
This time,
he will show us a trendy dance.
It's the most popular dance these days.
Music, please!
(Today's most popular dance)
It's a trendy dance.
(Warming up the engine)
(Focus on me.)
It actually looks like a retro dance.
(Keep your eyes on me.)
He's warming up.
(He starts dancing now. Wait, what?)
It's the dance that can get you a girlfriend or a boyfriend.
(It's the popular Backpack Kid Dance...)
(which always looks amazing.)
(His dance catches everyone's eyes.)
There you go. All right.
Oh, that's right!
There. It's the hammer dance.
The hammer dance.
(He wraps it up with a dab.)
Gosh, all right.
(He successfully got people's attention by some popular dances.)
- Gosh. - Please answer honestly.
We don't know who he is. Who is he friends with among us?
Who among us knows him?
(He carefully approaches Seong Ju.)
He says you know him, Gu Ra.
(Well...)
(Frozen)
He could be someone who has worked with GREE.
Gu Ra, you should recognize him.
- Is it GREE again? - Or one of his fellow rappers.
- GREE? - Samulnori Boy.
Samulnori Boy.
If I don't recognize you,
would that mean...
that I'm not a decent human being?
I thought you would scold him or do something like that.
So must I recognize you?
Yes, you must.
He decided to come to our show...
because of you, Gu Ra.
He's been very conscious of you.
Why don't you take this opportunity to reflect on yourself?
Right. I wonder why you haven't recognized him yet.
You should know who he is by now.
Are you my hometown friend?
A friend from school? What is it?
(Whispering again)
I see. All right.
He says he's disappointed.
He didn't know you'd do this to him.
You should know who he is, Gu Ra.
How frustrating.
- My gosh. - Goodness.
All right. Now...
- Hey, Kim Seong Ju. - Yes?
Wait, isn't that a little rude?
What was that? We're shooting a TV show here.
No, I wasn't being rude.
I was just calling your name.
(Completely rude)
What? Kim Gu Ra.
What is it?
I think he really is someone I know.
Right. This time,
let's see Autumn Girl's last specialty.
She can play two types of musical instruments...
at the same time.
With her mouth and hands,
she'll play the kazoo...
and tambourine at the same time.
(She holds the instruments firmly.)
(Playing them together)
(She plays "Love Battery" by Hong Jin Young.)
(I can play them anywhere at any time.)
(Her double instrument performance will heat things up for sure.)
(She plays them in a perfect rhythm.)
(Yes, it's exciting!)
- That's it. - She has so many talents.
That's right.
She's so talented.
You're really good.
I'm so frustrated right now.
- You are? - Yes.
Gosh, I have no idea who they are.
Right. Okay.
Round Two, Semi-finals.
I will now announce the result of the first match.
This match has turned out to be a very close one.
From the 13 panelists,
the masked singers each earned 7 and 6 votes.
The difference is just one vote.
The important thing...
is that the panelists and the audience...
voted for different masked singers.
They support different masked singers.
Between these two, who earned more votes?
While Autumn Girl painted the stage dark red...
with her deadly charms,
Samulnori Boy sang with a voice as sweet as an armful of roses.
Between these two masked singers,
whose voice does the audience want to hear again?
Let's find out the winner of this match now!
(Let's find out the winner of this match now!)
(It was a shocking performance.)
(Autumn Girl shook up the stage with her strong charms.)
(Samulnori Boy, her opponent,)
(performed completely at ease...)
(and made everyone excited by hitting high notes.)
Between Autumn Girl and Samulnori Boy,
who will win this match...
and become the first one to move on to Round Three?
The winner is...
- The winner is... - The winner is...
(A femme fatale versus a homme fatale)
(Excited)
Who will move on to Round Three? The winner is...
The winner is...
(Samulnori Boy of Heungtan Boys wins.)
It's Samulnori Boy!
(Let's go, Samulnori Boy!)
(Some of them are happy, and some of them are sad.)
I knew it.
(It's too bad for Autumn Girl.)
Samulnori Boy moved on to Round Three.
The score is 53 to 46.
The majority of the panelists voted for Autumn Girl,
and the majority of the audience voted for Samulnori Boy.
You won this match. Please go back to your waiting room.
Let's give him a big hand.
(Autumn Girl will reveal her face soon.)
It was a thrilling, close match.
Wait until you see me in Round Three! Go, Heungtan!
(Yes)
Now, who could Autumn Girl be?
Let's find out now.
Please come to the back.
- I'm so curious. - Now,
Autumn Girl, please take off your mask...
and reveal your face!
(A versatile musician)
(She has the breathing skills of a master singer.)
(She sounds similar to Sunwoo Jung A?)
(She can even imitate Jung A's unique voice.)
(Is she a close friend of Jung A's?)
(Upset)
Please take off your mask...
and reveal your face!
(Excited)
(Oh, my gosh!)
(Unbelievable!)
What is it?
- Who is she? - They seem surprised.
She is...
the vocalist of The Barberettes, the retro-inspired girl group,
Lee Kyeong Seon!
- Oh, my! - A member of The Barberettes!
(Jung A correctly identified her!)
(Surprised)
She's the member of The Barberettes.
(That was so close.)
Hello, everyone. I'm Lee Kyeong Seon of The Barberettes.
It's great to be here.
- All right. - Hello.
(The Barberettes is a retro-inspired girl group.)
(She debuted in 2015 as she joined the group.)
(She's a popular vocalist with a groovy voice tone.)
(They're a great indie band...)
(and make unique harmonies and outstanding sounds.)
(They're widely recognized overseas as well.)
(They've also sung the soundtracks of many popular dramas.)
(You want to keep listening to her voice.)
(Lee Kyeong Seon of The Barberettes is a natural born singer.)
Gu Ra actually mentioned her name last week.
- Yes. - For someone else.
Who was the masked singer again?
- It was Princess Fondue. - Oh, yes.
- You thought Princess Fondue... - You're right.
- I see. - was a member of The Barberettes.
(He confidently mentioned The Barberettes!)
(His guess was wrong.)
(Jung A was also wrong at first.)
Even after her performance,
you didn't mention her name, Jung A.
I didn't know at that time.
- Right? Be honest. - I didn't know.
The moment she started rapping,
I remembered hearing it...
at a drinking party.
A drinking party?
- You did? - She's so talented.
I became sure about her identity when I heard her rap.
I thought I saw a lot of her sides for a long time.
But the energy she showed throughout the performance...
was totally new even to me.
I was able to enjoy so much of her charms.
As far as I know,
this was your first time...
performing alone on a major broadcasting show. Is that right?
Right. To be honest, I was very nervous.
But you know, it's so good to communicate through music...
because the language difference doesn't matter,
and you don't have to show your face either.
In that sense,
I thought this show was the most suitable program.
It was a challenge for myself too.
That's why I decided to come here.
Here's what I wrote earlier during her performance.
"She's another crazy girl taking after Sunwoo Jung A."
That's what I wrote.
We're rooting for your successful career...
as a vocalist who represents our country as well as the world.
Thank you.
She put her usual retro image aside for a second...
and performed with another color of hers today.
Please give a round of applause...
to Lee Kyeong Seon of The Barberettes.
Thank you.
(We'll look forward to hearing your amazing voice.)
Thank you.
(Please let us continue to hear your great voice!)
My parents enjoy watching this program.
I haven't been able to tell them about this yet.
So I told my sister...
to film their reaction in secret.
I told her that.
I can't wait to see how they'll react.
Don't You Smell Something Burning?
Autumn Girl was me, Lee Kyeong Seon.
I love you, my family.
Everyone, I hope you're happy and healthy...
for a long time with music.
Thank you.
As the result of Round Two, Samulnori Boy of Heungtan Boys...
won against Lee Kyeong Seon of The Barberettes...
and advanced to Round Three.
It's the second match of Round Two.
She defeated the actress, Kim Ka Yeon.
She wishes to be a masked queen instead of a masked princess.
Cheese Kingdom, Princess Fondue.
(Cheese Kingdom, Princess Fondue)
(Shall I boil some cheese?)
(The audience is excited even from her entrance.)
Gosh, she's confident.
She's charismatic.
I'm looking forward to your performance, Princess Fondue.
(She showed off her bright and cheery voice during Round One.)
(Her musical ability stood out within her cute charm.)
(Would she be the main vocalist of a girl group?)
(She was predicted to be Lee Kyeong Seon as well.)
(Would she be a hip-hop singer?)
(Would she not be a hip-hop singer?)
(Would she be a ballad singer?)
(What gibberish are you talking about?)
(She was unexpectedly good with her specialties.)
(What would be the identity of Princess Fondue?)
(She will overwhelm the studio with her deep charm once again.)
(The audience gets ready to fall smoothly for it.)
(The ear-melting performance will begin now.)
(My gosh.)
I love this song.
("U R" by Tae Yeon)
(Her warm and soft voice...)
(fills the studio in an instant.)
(Her clear voice...)
(brightens the audience's hearts.)
(With her unique sentiments,)
(the performance is colored beautifully.)
How girly.
(It's full of girlish charms.)
Her voice is so pretty.
My goodness.
(Her clean voice delivers...)
(innocent and clear sentiments.)
(Her transparent voice...)
(spreads out straight.)
(More dazzlingly, more beautifully)
(You fill the entire night sky)
(Her performance is like the sorrow that shines transparently.)
(Thank you for such a beautiful performance.)
(They love it.)
How beautiful.
Right, I love it.
She must be an idol singer.
Against her...
is the masked singer who won against Yang Chi Seung.
Even Tchaikovsky was surprised by his voice.
Dance and Sing
Like a Bird
Black Swan.
(Dance and Sing Like a Bird, Black Swan)
(He'll fly to the throne...)
(after molting.)
(They're excited.)
He's charismatic.
His outfit stands out more than the other masked singers today.
I want to have that outfit.
Take your mask off, Zo In Sung.
I wish it's really Zo In Sung.
(His voice spread out solitarily like a black swan.)
(His charming vocalization sounded stable.)
(Would he be an actor?)
(Jung A and Yoon Sang claimed he wouldn't be a professional singer.)
(Would he be a singer for certain?)
(Young Seok and Jang Hyuk claimed he'd be a professional singer.)
(Their opinions differed completely.)
(He was passionate though he was clumsy in every way.)
(The panelists became wanting to root for him.)
(He's on the stage for his second performance now.)
(His identity is still in mystery.)
(What kind of a wing stroke will he show off this time?)
(The piano is played serenely.)
What?
("Don't Say Goodbye" by Lee Seung Chul)
- Goodness. - What's going on today?
Awesome.
- I love it. - His voice sounds amazing.
What is this?
He sounds completely different.
(It's unexpectedly sentimental from the start.)
(His gentle voice flows through the air.)
(Amazed)
(His soulful voice is hidden inside the melancholy murmur.)
- He is good. - This is amazing.
(His soulful voice is hidden inside the melancholy murmur.)
Gosh, what is this?
(Screaming)
I didn't think he was a singer.
Thank goodness he didn't get eliminated.
(His charming voice melts the audience's hearts.)
I love that tone.
(He is incredible.)
No way. Who is he?
(Black Swan gave an unforgettable performance...)
(about how he never wants to say goodbye.)
(I love his voice.)
- That was amazing. - Just take my heart.
He can sing so well.
Who is he?
Gosh, it was really nice.
It was nice.
(They can only say it was nice.)
It was really nice.
The second match of Round Two came to an end.
You are looking at Black Swan with a serious expression.
Kai.
He isn't the man we saw in Round One.
Is he different from the man you saw in Round One?
In Round One, many panelists argued...
on how he could be a singer or not.
However, the performance Black Swan showed us just now...
was awe-inspiring.
Was it that good?
He has the ability...
to captivate my soul without my knowledge.
He is an incredible man.
He has power in his voice.
It was an awe-inspiring performance that enchants the heart.
As for Princess Fondue...
As I get near my 40s as well, I don't feel sad...
when my younger friends tell me about a breakup.
I find it rather beautiful.
- That makes sense. - Yes.
Princess Fondue's song...
should have filled my heart with sadness.
However, her voice...
made sadness...
into something beautiful. I loved that.
It was a performance that would captivate men's hearts.
Last week, you said she might be a balladeer.
Yes. She is good at singing ballad songs.
Yes, she is.
I loved...
the sound of her breath...
that was apparent before each line.
It brought the song closer to me.
Judging from the way how she breathes and sings,
- she seems to be a solo artist. - A solo artist.
- How about Black Swan? - When I heard him sing,
I became a bit flustered.
His singing style isn't something we encounter often.
He deviates from the standards of a good singer...
that we know.
There is no reason, but we just like him.
Let's say a woman brings home the man she is seeing.
Her mom might say to her,
"What do you see in him?"
"Why do you love him so much?"
"I don't know. I just love him." There are cases like that.
The way he sings is just like that.
His voice is so fragile...
that it feels like it will crack.
However, there is strength within that voice as well.
His performance was very charming.
All right.
Last week, Black Swan...
missed the first bar.
Some panelists said a singer wouldn't have done that.
May I say something first?
- What? - The moment I heard him sing,
I thought he could be a senior singer.
- Is that so? - Yes.
It's very different from what you said last week.
I would be grateful if you would forget...
- what I said last week. - You said he isn't a singer.
Now, you say he could be a senior singer.
Yes. He is incredible.
Is he a senior singer?
I felt that aura.
- I am serious. - I see.
I am serious.
I see. Sang,
you also said he isn't a singer.
You said he is just someone who can sing very well.
I never swore that he isn't a singer.
- Is that so? - I know, right?
- He is denying what he said. - I remember it clearly.
"He can sing very well like a singer."
(He made wrong assumptions.)
"I am not sure if he is a singer."
You said that last week.
This is interesting.
He changed so much...
from Round One.
He is nothing like the masked singer...
we saw last week.
Judging from today's performance, it would be strange...
- if he isn't a singer. - You are sure he is a singer.
Even though they have incredible skills,
I haven't been able to pinpoint their identities.
They must be in teams.
I'm 87 percent sure...
they are idol singers.
You think both of them are idol singers?
- That's right. - Black Swan as well?
- Both of them? - Yes. Here is my reason.
Black Swan's vocal range...
is incredibly rare...
among male singers.
It's close to that of a female singer.
Only a few male singers have that.
Despite that,
we are having a hard time identifying him...
because he hasn't given a lot of solo performances.
- So he is in a group. - Yes.
Both of them could be idol singers?
- Yes. Both of them are young. - Both of them are young.
- Heejin, - Yes?
Sang said they might be idol singers.
I don't think...
Black Swan is an idol singer.
You don't think Black Swan is an idol singer.
No. An idol singer...
needs to blend into the group.
His voice shouldn't stand out too much.
Since Black Swan's voice...
is very unique,
I don't think he is an idol singer.
You mean Sang is talking nonsense.
(He said both of them are idol singers.)
- I didn't say that. - I am sorry.
I was just joking. How about Princess Fondue?
- I am a bit confused. - You are a bit confused.
She might be an idol singer, but she might not be an idol singer.
I can't say for sure.
- You don't know yet. - No.
- You need to see more of her. - That's right.
It's time to check out their specialties.
Princess Fondue will go first.
Her specialty is unusual. She will imitate male actors.
Let us hear Lee Sun Kyun's voice.
One vongole pasta.
Work faster, will you?
(Smiling)
All right.
It was nice.
She is an idol singer.
Let's hear Oh Kwang Rok's voice next.
Gosh, it's cold.
(My goodness.)
She seems to be young.
She sounds exactly like him.
Her specialty is impressive for someone her age.
Okay. The last one...
is Lee Jung Jae.
Your prank is excessive.
(She has the confidence and spirit.)
It's funny because she is confident.
I'm sure she is someone...
with the spirit and cuteness.
It's Black Swan's turn.
As his specialty, he wrote, "Lung capacity".
He can make a sound for a minute...
without stopping even once.
If you make the sound small,
you can easily do it for a minute. I used to do that as a child.
Let's see. Are you ready?
All right. Get ready.
Set.
(Breathing in)
Go.
- He started off low. - It began.
It sounds like a foghorn.
- He is setting off. - 10 seconds have passed.
His voice is still powerful...
and unwavering.
He is keeping calm...
as he makes the sound.
It's about time he feels short of air.
20 seconds have passed.
He will be fine as long as he keeps his voice low.
Is the volume decreasing?
Oh, I was wrong.
(It's about time the video gets edited out.)
You are halfway there.
(He continues to go on.)
That's right. He is sitting down.
- Where is he at now? - 40 seconds.
Is he sitting down?
- He is squeezing out his voice. - Go as far as you can.
(Does he have something to say?)
(Stuttering)
I knew this would happen.
(Collapsing.)
- Let's end it here. - What's the record?
(What's the record?)
It's 51.59 seconds.
(It wasn't so loud, but it lasted for almost 1 minute.)
It's 51.59 seconds.
- You did a good job. - Black Swan.
If we do it that way,
Yoon Seok might be able to do it for two minutes.
- Are you serious? - Yoon Seok.
He can do it for more than one minute.
- Let's give it a try. - Yoon Seok will do it.
- I'll time it. - Okay.
Tell me if he breathes in, Hyun Chul.
He will start with a very low tone.
Ready, start.
(Giving forth a deep sound)
That's right. This is how you should start.
All right. He shouldn't breathe in.
Did you see that?
(He's even good at controlling the dynamics.)
- Did you see that? - Did you see his technique?
- That's his technique. - That was close.
It's been 10 seconds.
(Groaning)
(Belching?)
(The clear sound resonates beautifully through the studio.)
- What was that? - I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
- Why did you burp? - I...
I'm so sorry,
- but I was hyperventilating. - My gosh.
I breathed in too much.
It sounded like you were gasping.
I've never burped in a TV show for the past 20 years.
He's a master comedian indeed. It's funny when he burps.
- Don't you think so? - That was surprising.
All right. It's Princess Fondue's turn.
We're just doing this for fun.
Princess Fondue, do you have the same strategy?
I will do it a little like a coward.
- Like a coward? - All right.
Get ready.
Start.
(Making a sound)
- That sounds clear. - It sounds good.
Black Swan's record is 51 seconds.
This is good for ASMR.
- It makes me feel calm. - Right.
- This is good. - It feels like I'm in a temple.
- Gosh, already? - She failed to pace herself.
She failed to pace herself.
Gosh, it ended all of a sudden.
I knew it.
It's 17.94 seconds.
You should start it in a hushed tone.
She wasn't tactful.
- She has a big air capacity though. - You should think...
you're making a penny.
Gu Ra, why don't you give it a try?
Gu Ra, you're giving a lot of advice now.
You should try.
Gu Ra, get ready.
Gu Ra, good.
(Inhaling oxygen)
All right. Ready.
Ready. Start.
(Groaning)
(What is he doing?)
Listen carefully. He shouldn't stop.
He should groan for a minute.
Good. It's been 10 seconds.
- 10 seconds. Good. - Isn't he groaning?
He's rarely breathing out.
- He's making a sound. - Louder.
He's doing it.
He shouldn't breathe in.
It's been 20 seconds.
Gu Ra, you're doing a good job.
All right. He has ups and downs.
(He gives up.)
(Laughing)
(What is he doing?)
(They all burst into laughter.)
See? Gosh.
Gosh, this is quite hard.
I told you.
It's hard to go my own way.
- Gosh, that was hard. - All right.
- Well done. - This is hard.
Gu Ra's record is 28.25 seconds.
That was quite difficult though.
We can see that Black Swan has a big lung capacity indeed.
All right. Now, I will announce...
the result of the second match of Round Two.
Who will move on to the next round?
I'll now reveal the winner of this match.
(She gave off a bright glow that embroidered people's hearts.)
(Princess Fondue has a clear voice.)
(He has a deep, emotional voice that you can't escape.)
(Black Swan has an appealing, magical voice.)
Between Princess Fondue and Black Swan,
who will be the winner of this match?
The winner is...
- The winner is... - The winner is...
The winner is...
(Thrilled)
(There's a clear difference between the two charming voices.)
(Who is the winner?)
Who will be singing against Samulnori Boy?
Show us the result. The winner is...
- The winner is... - The winner is...
Who is the winner?
(Dance and Sing Like a Bird, Black Swan wins.)
Black Swan wins.
(Black Swan is soaring high.)
(Black Swan wins as expected.)
I liked Princess Fondue though.
There's a big difference.
With a score of 63 to 36,
Black Swan beat Princess Fondue...
and moved on to Round Three.
Please go back to your waiting room.
Please give him a round of applause.
(Princess Fondue's lovely identity will be revealed soon.)
I will sing with all my heart in the next round. Wish me luck.
Princess Fondue is a charming woman...
with various specialties. Who is she?
It's time to reveal her identity.
Please move to the rear of the stage.
Now, Princess Fondue, please take off your mask...
and reveal your face.
(She expressed sorrow in a beautiful way.)
(Considering her breathing and vocalization,)
(she's a solo artist?)
(She's a great singer whom Yoon Sang can't figure out.)
(There's an 87 percent chance that she's an idol artist?)
Please reveal your identity.
(Please reveal your face now.)
(Shouting in shock)
(Unbelievable)
- She is... - Why?
They are very surprised.
Is she...
(What is this huge response about?)
She is...
the main vocal of an innocent girl group, Lovelyz,
Babysoul.
What?
What's going on?
(My goodness.)
What?
What's going on?
I should've said that.
- Did you know who she was? - I should've said that.
Please say hello to our viewers.
Hello. I'm the leader of Lovelyz, Babysoul.
Nice to meet you.
(Lovelyz is a girl group produced by Yoon Sang.)
(With their cheerful song and choreography,)
(they captivated a lot of fans by showing off their cute charms.)
(The main vocal and leader...)
(has a pure voice.)
- Lovelyz. - Lovelyz.
(They are a popular girl group who topped a lot of music charts.)
We will work even harder.
("Lovelyz won the top 10 artists award at the Korean Culture Awards")
(Her voice has a soulful and beautiful tone.)
(She shows her unexpected charms on variety shows.)
(She makes people smile.)
(Babysoul of Lovelyz has a lovely voice.)
There's someone who had to recognize...
Babysoul's voice.
Right. I guess that's me.
Exactly.
I actually recognized her voice.
You did?
But I was afraid that it might be Babysoul's voice.
So I couldn't say anything.
So you knew it was her?
When she sang last week,
I thought it was Babysoul's voice...
because it's very rare.
But I was worried if people would think...
that I just wanted to talk more about Lovelyz.
I was being timid.
I must say that my hearing...
- is still well. - You didn't even get it right.
- He didn't say anything. - Do you think you got it right?
He thinks he got it right.
If he gave me a heads up,
I would've agreed.
But he didn't say anything.
- I was talking to myself. - I see.
I have to say this though.
It didn't sound like her voice.
You think so?
In order to confuse me,
she tried to change her voice. Did you?
Let's ask her.
I just sang with my usual voice.
Really? Excuse me.
She sang with the voice that you heard during the producing.
- I knew he wouldn't recognize me. - Why?
Lovelyz's songs...
are pure and cheerful.
So I thought he wouldn't recognize my voice.
What do you think of Yoon Sang, Babysoul?
At first, he was a little scary.
But lately, I started to feel...
that he doesn't treat us like a songwriter does to singers.
I just realized that he's written songs for us...
while thinking of us as if we were his own children.
All right. But he didn't recognize your voice today.
That's right.
He didn't recognize his own son.
It actually happens a lot.
I see.
That's what masks do.
- That's right. - Okay.
It's been five years since your debut,
but this is your first time to sing alone...
on a TV show?
Yes, this is my first time to sing a full song alone...
except at my concerts.
So I was very nervous.
Just like her name, her voice is so...
Are you 28 years old?
- I'm 27. - 27.
She has such a pure voice for her age.
It's very surprising.
Voices rarely change.
If she keeps her voice in shape until she grows old,
she will be able to work with Yoon Sang...
as his best friend.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
Only with her tone of voice,
Babysoul filled the stage of King of Mask Singer today.
Please give her a big hand again.
(We look forward to your future endeavors.)
- You did a very good job. - Thank you.
- You surprised me. - I was so nervous.
No, you were amazing.
I have a calm personality.
And I'm the leader of my group.
I don't usually look so excited or thrilled.
But today, with my specialties,
I wanted to show people that I'm not always...
so gentle and calm.
And when it comes to singing,
I want people to know that a singer named Babysoul...
can manage singing...
songs like this too.
Cheese Kingdom, Princess Fondue...
was me, Babysoul of Lovelyz.
Bye. I will see you again.
The mysterious music show, King of Mask Singer.
Now, only the last round remains...
until we have the 86th King of Mask Singer.
Let's bring out the two singers who made it to Final Round...
to the stage. Please give them a round of applause.
(Samulnori Boy versus Black Swan)
It boiled down to a competition between...
Samulnori Boy and Black Swan.
If you get through this round, you will earn the right...
to sit on the throne.
I will give you a chance to declare war...
on the masked queen.
Dear masked queen, I will sit there...
and play...
my traditional music.
(Oh, dear.)
You want to have a party on the throne, right?
It was a message very fitting for Samulnori Boy.
Now, Black Swan.
Please look at the masked queen.
She's going for her fifth victory.
If there is something you want to tell her,
this is your chance.
You seem to be too anxious. It's all right.
The masked queen won't hurt you.
(He quickly looks at the masked queen.)
Dear masked queen.
(He can't face the masked queen.)
Dear masked queen, move away.
"Dear masked queen, move away."
He can't even look at the masked queen.
"Dear masked queen, move away."
Masked queen,
do you have any advice or tips for them?
How should they take on Round Three?
(She thinks hard.)
If you don't want to say it, you don't have to say it.
(She's embarrassed.)
I want both of them to try hard.
I will try my best too.
You don't speak with an accent now.
- I am confident. - You are confident.
You are confident. Good.
This is going to be another intense match.
Now, let's begin Round Three, Final Round.
Let's start with Samulnori Boy's performance.
Let's play.
He should sing something impactful.
(It's time to explode his energy again.)
(With what music...)
(will he beat the strong opponent, Black Swan,)
(and advance towards the throne?)
(Samulnori Boy's third performance begins.)
("The Flight" by Yim Jae Beum)
(His cheerful side is nowhere to be seen.)
(He appeals his calmness this time.)
It's lovely.
(He instantly makes us fall for him.)
(I want to)
(Go out)
(to the world too)
(I need to)
(Confidently show my dream)
(I want to fly)
Is he a musical actor?
Is this a live performance?
It's impactful.
(His baritone voice moves our hearts.)
(His rich emotion makes us emotional.)
(My goodness.)
(Samulnori Boy's "The Flight" was a shout to the world.)
(They fell for his charms.)
(Who is this boy?)
That was a beautiful voice.
That was so lovely.
He's too good, isn't he?
His opponent...
is this masked singer who beat the personal trainer,
Yang Chi Seung, and Babysoul of Lovelyz.
He will fly towards the throne.
Black Swan.
(Dance and Sing Like a Bird, Black Swan)
(Fly, black bird!)
(He doesn't look like the shy boy he was a while ago.)
His mask is charismatic.
He looks like a final boss or something.
Which song will he sing?
(He will fly just once more to the throne.)
(One voice will fly to the panelists.)
(To beat Samulnori Boy, who is in his element,)
(Black Swan will resolutely flap his wings.)
(The piano melody of the intro sounds unusual.)
(From now on)
(I won't laugh)
(She becomes stiff.)
("Uphill Road" by Yoon Jong Shin)
(His voice contains sorrow.)
(The melody calmly lands on our ears.)
(He raises his emotion one step at a time.)
(It's heartbreaking.)
(He overwhelms everyone with his amazing expression.)
(They can't take their eyes off his performance.)
(Even if we lose our hands)
(Don't be flustered, and don't get lost)
(The trustworthy melody makes them keep listening.)
(He gives a comforting performance with his sweet voice.)
Isn't this wonderful?
(His emotional performance is full of elegance.)
Who on earth is he?
(Who could he be?)
(His skills are extraordinary.)
(She's been doing nothing but staring at him for 1 minute.)
(It's a perfect ensemble of emotions and techniques.)
(The audience is immersed in the performance.)
(It's a song for those who go through hardships.)
(Black Swan passionately sings the song for them.)
(I love you)
(To the end)
(It gives them the chills.)
(We would gladly walk on the uphill with him.)
(It was a blissful performance.)
This is so touching.
(His great performance leaves them speechless.)
This is incredible.
My goodness. It was amazing.
Final Round is now over.
I wonder what the masked queen...
thinks of their performances.
Samulnori Boy's performance...
was very masculine and cool.
I enjoyed it a lot.
And Black Swan's performance...
was very touching and comforting.
I'm so thankful to them for showing such good performances.
Thank you.
Do you think you can keep your winning streak?
Do you see a red light or a green light?
- I see a yellow light. - A yellow light.
- Yes. - A yellow light.
I'm not sure.
Still...
- I can do it! - You can do it! Stay confident.
She's going to go for her fifth victory...
in front of Sunwoo Jung A.
Dongmakgol Girl will now get prepared for Final Match.
Please go backstage now.
Everyone, please give her a round of applause.
Please give her a round of applause.
(You want me to go backstage?)
(Where are you going?)
You're not the masked king.
(The throne is mine yet.)
I asked the masked queen to go.
Nothing has been decided yet.
What are you doing?
That was a great performance.
Well...
- What a great performance. - We don't know the result yet.
He's counting his chickens before they're hatched.
(He must be so confident for a reason.)
You surprised me.
Hyun Chul.
I wonder what will decide...
the winner and the loser.
Let me comment on Samulnori Boy first.
His voice is very relaxed.
He was singing a very intense ballad song,
but he kept looking around...
and checking on the audience. He has a great attitude on stage.
He is...
living a performer's life indeed.
As for Black Swan...
He uses hiccup techniques when he sings.
He sings like this.
Like this?
He flips his voice like that...
at the perfect timing.
- He stresses the key part. - Exactly.
This makes me think...
he might be a young guy.
I see.
Jung A, you seem bright.
I'm so happy to be here and see their performances.
Samulnori Boy...
shook me up again.
In Round Two,
I said he was a soul vocal.
But this time, he sounded like a rocker again.
He's literally an all-around singer.
I have no idea whom he could be.
Thank you for the great performance.
And I wish I could...
stop my mouth from last week.
I said Black Swan...
couldn't be a professional singer.
I said he was an actor,
and I picked on his mistake on the first verse.
(1. Not a singer. 2. An actor. 3. The mistake on the first verse.)
Watching Round Three made me realize who he was.
Now that I know who he is,
I know I deserve to die. I'm so sorry.
(If she could turn back time, she would go back to last week.)
(I think you got trained.)
(You missed the first verse.)
(Don't say that.)
(She desperately wants to send a message to herself.)
(He is a singer.)
I think he just happened to make a mistake of his lifetime...
last week.
And I happened to see it.
- And you judged him based on that. - Exactly.
I feel so honored that I can even watch his performance in person.
- I see. - That's how I think.
The two must have...
worked hard...
to show different kinds of music.
All the effort they must have put into this touches my heart.
I also realized that including one's singing skills,
many things could affect a performance.
Even if...
they can't...
beat Dongmakgol Girl today,
I want to say today's performance...
is not everything.
I'd like to talk about Black Swan.
The original singers of "Don't Say Goodbye"...
and "Uphill"...
are amazingly performed in the first place.
When you sing these songs, it's easy to give an impression...
that you're just copying them.
But Black Swan's performance...
sounded like he was singing his own song.
During the whole performance,
I kept asking myself how it was possible.
I was fascinated by his performance.
His costume looks like...
just rags.
- Does it? - But...
(But I tried to look cool.)
- It looks... - Is that what you've been thinking?
Now, it looks more gorgeous than a nicely fitting dress suit.
- Now? - Yes.
He looks so gorgeous.
The ragged costume...
makes him look like a cartoon character...
that would vanish into the air.
He looks like he's made of a smoke you can't touch.
It was really cool.
The way you look at him has completely changed.
And Samulnori Boy...
seems like someone who doesn't like being stuck in one place.
Although he always sings in his own style,
but he breathes differently.
I thought he might be a free spirit.
Today, I was in a happy dilemma.
Gu Ra, what do you think the result will be like?
Rather than exit polls, I rely on my hunch these days.
- Your hunch? - Yes.
I agree with Bong Sun.
"What on earth is this?" I like this feeling.
When Bong Sun first debuted, I thought, "What is that?"
- Did you? - "What is Gu Ra saying?"
It's a way of expressing your interest.
- No, it means it's new. - New?
What Seong Ju says...
never makes me think, "What is that?"
- That's mean. - It's always the same.
Please don't think of me like that.
- That's just how you are. - Do you think so?
- Yes. - Okay. Anyway,
which masked singer's performance was more original and newer?
- That will determine the winner? - Yes.
The more original performance?
- I'd give them a score of 6 to 4. - 6 to 4?
I think Black Swan's performance was a little more original.
I will now...
announce the result of Final Round.
While Samulnori Boy made desperate efforts to fly up to a higher place,
Black Swan comforted you and touched your hearts...
in this sheer uphill road of life.
Between these two masked singers,
who will move on to the 86th Final Match? Let's find out now!
(He shouted confidently to the world.)
(Samulnori Boy showed off his many different charms.)
(It was a sincere and touching comfort.)
(Black Swan touched everyone's hearts with his emotional voice.)
Between Samulnori Boy and Black Swan,
who will move on to Final Match...
and become the rival of Dongmakgol Girl?
The winner is...
- The winner is... - The winner is...
Please. Gosh, please.
(Both of them gave a mind-blowing performance.)
(The winner who will intimidate the masked queen is...)
Which masked singer did you choose?
Let's see the result. The winner is...
- The winner is... - The winner is...
Who's the winner?
(Black Swan wins.)
The winner is Black Swan.
(It's Black Swan!)
(Cheering)
(Oh, no. Samulnori Boy.)
The score is 56 to 43.
Black Swan won this match...
by earning 13 more votes.
Black Swan, please go to the backstage...
and watch the masked queen's performance.
Please give him a big round of applause.
I hope that I will get a chance...
to perform again. Thank you.
Now, we will reveal...
this charming man's identity.
Let's find out who he is.
Please come to the back.
Now, Samulnori Boy, please take off your mask...
and reveal your face!
(His performance shows his long experience as a singer.)
(Is he a gospel music artist?)
(A soul musician or a rocker?)
(Who is Samulnori Boy, a man of charms?)
Reveal your face!
(Screaming)
- What is it? - Why?
Who is he?
What's going on?
He is...
the scene stealer of many films and musicals,
Kang Hong Suk, the actor!
(Samulnori Boy was an actor!)
(Unbelievable!)
- He was an actor? - An actor?
(He wasn't a professional singer.)
An actor?
Please say hello to our viewers.
It's good to see you all.
I'm Kang Hong Suk, an actor.
(By making appearances on dramas and films,)
(he showed great performances playing funny characters.)
(He played a quiet, whimsical secretary...)
(and caught the viewers' attention.)
(But he's actually a veteran musical actor.)
(Including the grim reaper of "Death Note"...)
(and a sexy drag queen, he has played many roles.)
(He won a best actor award with his amazing acting ability.)
(He performed greatly on many musicals.)
(He also showed off his talents on variety shows as well.)
(Kang Hong Suk is an actor that has numerous charms.)
- You're sweating a lot. - Yes, I sweat a lot.
Listen, Hong Suk.
You've lost a lot of weight.
Yes, I've lost some weight.
Hong Suk came to "Radio Star" once.
- His parents run a burger place, - Yes.
and he gained a lot of weight.
He had lost some weight then, but he's lost even more weight.
Yes, I went on a diet.
- That's amazing. - Hong Suk thought...
that you would recognize him.
You told me that I would become a big star because...
- I have a chin similar to yours. - Oh, yes.
You said things like that to him,
so he thought you would recognize him.
That's what he was expecting.
You've mentioned my comment about our chins. I don't know what to say.
You will become a big star.
Hong Suk does have what it takes to be a star.
- I want to ask you something. - Yes?
Did you want to become an actor or a musical actor?
- Actually, - Your original dream.
I wanted to become a singer.
- Oh, you wanted to become a singer? - Yes.
I wanted to become a singer when I was in my early 20s.
I took some time off school, moved to Seoul, and worked hard for it.
But I debuted as a musical actor by a recommendation of my friend.
I see.
That's why Ho Young recognized him earlier.
(They made various guesses in Round Two.)
There's a genre that covers all these genres you've mentioned.
Which is it?
It's my own area of expertise.
(Surprised)
Hong Suk and I starred...
in the same musical once.
There are certain gestures that he makes.
I saw them...
and realized that it was him.
(Ho Young recognized him right away.)
Hong Suk is interacting with the public...
through his acting on musicals and dramas.
He won a best actor award with "Kinky Boots", the musical,
and a best supporting actor award with "Death Note"...
surprisingly in the same year.
He's a great musical actor.
Actually, this is making me shy...
because Kai and Ho Young are here.
They're well-respected musical actors.
- It's making you shy? - Yes, it is.
That is why I think he will become a big star.
It's not just his chin.
I said that he'd become a big star...
because of his humble personality.
- You're right. He's very modest. - I'm flattered.
It feels like he has the good chin, and Gu Ra has the bad chin.
(Their chins look similar, but they are different.)
It feels that way.
The good chin?
I'm glad to hear that.
This is what I always think...
whenever I watch Hong Suk's musical.
No matter what kind of musical he does,
he gives a steady performance...
with the perfect voice, singing, and acting for his character.
I will always wish that you will grow...
to be a great actor.
- Thank you, Kai. - All right.
- This will really motivate you. - Of course.
With a powerful performance and good stage manners,
he overwhelmed the audience today. It was Kang Hong Suk.
Please give him a round of applause!
Go, Hong Suk!
Thank you.
I'll see you again, everyone!
See you!
Heungtan Boys.
I had a lot of fun. Thank you.
When I received the mask,
I really loved the slogan, Heungtan Boys.
I just wanted to give a fun performance,
and I'm really happy that I did.
I've been watching Kai...
and Ho Young's performance as an audience,
but today, I got to sing in front of them.
I thought this was my chance to show them my talent.
It was a very new and enjoyable experience.
Whether it's musicals, films, or dramas,
I will keep working hard.
I hope you will just remember my name.
In 2, 3. Go, Heungtan Boys!
Samulnori Boy was me, Kang Hong Suk.
Thank you.
This is the result of Round Three.
Dance and Sing
Like a Bird
Black Swan defeated Kang Hong Suk...
and moved on to Final Match.
The mysterious music show, King of Mask Singer.
What only remains now is My Song Could Hurt You,
Dongmakgol Girl's performance to defend her throne.
What kind of performance will she give...
to achieve her fifth win?
The 86th Final Match.
Let's watch the Queen of Mask Singer's performance!
(It begins now.)
The 86th Final Match.
The singer with a divine singing ability.
The 85th Queen of Mask Singer,
My Song Could Hurt You,
Dongmakgol Girl!
(She comes through the gate that only the masked queen can open.)
(I'm here.)
(We love you.)
I've never seen the masked queen before.
I wonder which song she will sing today.
She has such a great voice.
Gosh.
(She's here to achieve her 5th consecutive win.)
(In front of Jung A, who had five wins,)
(and Black Swan, who intimidates her,)
(what kind of performance will she give?)
(The piano plays a soft melody.)
Gosh, it's one of the songs that Hyun Chul wrote.
It's "Please".
(This melody makes everyone's heart ache.)
("Please" by Lee So Ra)
She chose such a powerful song.
(Her performance is about someone whom you can't let go of.)
(Please come back.)
(They don't know what to do with this sorrowful feeling.)
She beautifully pulled off...
(The deep sentiments linger in the studio.)
singing this song.
How sad.
It really is so sad.
Final Round has ended.
I'd like to ask a question to the one...
who composed "Please" by Lee So Ra.
Hyun Chul, how did you watch the performance?
I don't think it's right to make a comment...
about how she sang the song.
The original singer, Lee So Ra, sang this song desperately...
for her lover's return from the first verse.
But Dongmakgol Girl sang it...
like she picked a flower and pulled its petals 1 by 1...
until the end of the song.
In the end, the last petal indicated that he wouldn't come back.
I enjoyed it so much.
How about you, Young Seok?
For all her defense matches so far,
I always rooted for her,
and I was captured by her voice.
I supported her...
without much trouble.
When I watched her perform today,
I wasn't disappointed at all.
However, I was troubled a lot unlike the other days.
Black Swan and his performances...
What did I do so wrong to make him hurt me this much?
I'm still so hurt by his performances.
(Me too.)
It feels like he's crumpled my heart.
I have to keep spreading it out.
He's given me a heartbreak that takes a lot of time to recover.
(His performances have left a heartbreak that heals slowly.)
His singing style...
felt a bit unconventional,
and I liked it so much.
His artistic sides stood out even more...
because of such aspects.
I don't know how the result will turn out to be today,
but I'm sure he's the only one...
even if he may not become the number one.
- That's how I think. - I see.
I must say he's irreplaceable.
You seem swayed.
My heart still flutters...
- because of his singing. - Although you support the queen.
My heart still flutters.
(His performances have left lingering emotions.)
He still has Black Swan's performances...
in his ears.
Let me ask the past masked queen with her five consecutive wins.
Jung A.
Will the current masked queen take her fifth consecutive win?
First off, the girl in Dongmakgol...
is a comical character in the movie for us.
But during her performance, it felt like...
I was watching the movie become a sad movie.
"What if that girl actually had..."
"such a sad story behind the scenes?"
I even came to have such thoughts.
She made me forget about the reality...
and took me to her own story.
Of course, I don't even have to mention her singing ability.
I'd like her to keep her throne,
but Black Swan isn't an easy opponent.
His wing strokes are incredible.
I still haven't gotten over with those lingering emotions.
Both of them should be on the throne.
It's so difficult.
But there's only one seat for the throne,
so that cannot be done.
Yoon Sang, you look serious.
I doubt if this is a fair match...
because Black Swan pulled off three performances today.
- Right. - Thus,
this should be unfavorable for him.
However, Dongmakgol Girl had to defend her throne...
with only one song.
I couldn't come to a conclusion...
about which side would be more unfavorable.
Black Swan left various lingering emotions...
within the hearts of the panelists...
through his performances today.
But I could tell...
that the masked queen was on a level...
which Black Swan didn't get to reach yet...
throughout her five defense matches.
So I was very much torn...
between Black Swan's new energy...
and the masked queen's experience and expertise.
I thought so hard...
and made a decision.
Gu Ra left an important comment a while ago.
He said...
that the match would be about choosing between...
"Indeed" and "What is this?"
Here's what I think.
The panelists and the audience might think differently.
According to the exit poll,
the voting different within the panelists is 8 to 5.
Black Swan is on the lead.
(Black Swan is on the lead.)
- "What is this?" - Black Swan.
- Black Swan. - But I must say this.
When you go to Gangwon Province,
there are mushroom and wild ginseng diggers.
They have ramyeon with pine mushrooms.
Pine mushrooms are so valuable among ordinary people like us.
- Because it's expensive. - But for them,
they spot it every day when it's in season.
We're like those mushroom diggers.
We watch such high-quality performances...
every week.
So we don't appreciate its value.
We've gotten used to it.
So Hyun Chul and four other people...
have voted for Dongmakgol Girl.
Hyun Chul and four other people?
Hyun Chul has got to vote for his own song.
Right.
- Right? - He's got to if he's satisfied.
The way I see it, our opinions aren't important.
Her performance must've been new for the audience this week.
We still remember...
how impressed we were...
when we first watched her performance.
I think Dongmakgol Girl has received...
more votes from the audience.
When the masked queen performed earlier today,
I wondered why it ended...
so soon.
In the end,
I realized it was because I was immersed in her performance so much.
Personally, her performance today...
was the best among all her defense performances.
In case of Black Swan,
his mask looked familiar,
and I remembered seeing it in the movie, "Farinelli".
If you watch the movie, Carlo Broschi...
appears wearing that mask.
It's said that a lot of people in the front seats...
actually passed out because of the happiness...
when he performed on stage.
Since there are many things to watch these days,
the reactions weren't that extreme,
but the audience burst into admiration...
when they watched Black Swan's performances.
"How can this be possible?" "This is amazing."
If there's another Farinelli in this generation,
they must be as good as Black Swan.
That's what I thought.
It was a match between two strong competitors.
It deserved to be the Final Match of King of Mask Singer.
It was a great performance.
The mysterious music show, King of Mask Singer.
The result of the 86th Final Match has arrived.
It's so unpredictable.
Will Dongmakgol Girl succeed in winning five consecutive times...
and be ranked third among the masked queens so far?
Or will Black Swan...
open the era of a new masked king?
I will now reveal...
the 86th owner of the throne.
(With his refreshing high notes,)
(he made a fresh start in Round One.)
(With his unique, soulful voice...)
(and powerful singing skills,)
(he made everyone get goosebumps in Round Two.)
(It's a magical voice that we want to keep listening to.)
(He has fatal and elegant charms.)
(Her song is not just sad, but heart-wrenching.)
(Her voice is packed with sorrow.)
(Her emotions stormed on.)
(She writes a story just with her voice.)
Between Black Swan and Dongmakgol Girl,
who is the 86th king or queen that you chose?
- The winner is... - The winner is...
The winner is...
(Please reveal it now.)
(It was so hard to decide...)
(which voice was better.)
(Who is the winner?)
(I can't even see it.)
Let's find out who the winner is.
- The winner is... - The winner is...
(My Song Could Hurt You, Dongmakgol Girl wins.)
Dongmakgol Girl.
(I came in 3rd in the overall rankings of the queens.)
(Good job.)
(Black Swan, it was a great match even if you lost.)
Dongmakgol Girl.
(42 to 57)
Dongmakgol Girl wins.
The score is 57 to 42.
Once more, Dongmakgol Girl...
takes the throne.
Dongmakgol Girl...
is presented with the golden mask and the masked queen's gown again.
Please tell us how you feel now.
(Let me bow deeply.)
(Let me bow too.)
I thought I'd have to take off my mask today.
I will make sure to repay you...
with good songs.
Thank you very much.
Now, Dongmakgol Girl, the 86th masked queen,
will exit through the center passage for security reasons.
Please give her a round of applause to congratulate her.
(I love you, everyone.)
(Congratulations, Your Majesty.)
She is a masked queen with five consecutive wins.
Dongmakgol Girl.
According to the result of your votes,
we'll be able to meet her again next week.
Black Swan touched...
and pleased us a lot.
Who would he be?
Let's find out.
Please come to the back side of the stage.
(It's finally time to reveal his face.)
Now, Black Swan,
take off your mask and reveal your face.
(A marvelous voice)
(His performance was surprising and new.)
(He is one of a kind.)
(Is he a rocker? Or a senior singer with a long career?)
(They mentioned various people. Who is he?)
(Is he Zo In Sung by any chance?)
(Black Swan's identity will be revealed now.)
(Screaming)
(Shocked)
What is it? Did he take off his mask?
(What? What is it?)
(Surprised)
Take off your mask and reveal your face.
He is the rhythm and blues vocalist with a soulful voice,
Moon Myung Jin.
(Did you say Moon Myung Jin?)
(He is absolutely surprised.)
I can't believe it.
Please say hello to our viewers.
I'm Moon Myung Jin.
(That is so simple.)
(He has been a singer for 18 years since he debuted with "Knife".)
(He sang "On a Sleepless Night", "Only You", and "Day After Day".)
(He is a musician loved by the people.)
(With his sweet voice that touched people's souls...)
(and deep emotions, he sings rhythm and blues.)
(He won many times on competition shows,)
(and his legendary performance was highly praised by Michael Bolton.)
(He pleases our ears with great soundtracks.)
(He is a soulful singer.)
(The master of rhythm and blues that captivates women, Moon Myung Jin)
HANHAE, is he the one...
you though inside?
I have been his fan for such a long time,
so I was certain of who he was in my heart,
but because he was wearing a mask,
I kept suspecting him.
So I was not quite sure until the end,
but it turned out that he can't hide his classiness.
I heard that the first thing you did was to register physical training...
after you decided to come on this show.
What was that for?
- Because my lower body is weak. - I see.
My upper body is weak too.
Then is your whole body weak?
- I'm feeble. - You are?
So you wanted to build some muscles before you were here?
Yes, I wanted to do that,
but I didn't work out hard.
What did your trainer say to you?
He said that I needed rehabilitation first.
- Rehabilitation? - Yes.
You weren't good enough to get physical training? Is it that bad?
Do you know who you sang with...
during the duet in Round One?
- No. - He is a trainer.
- I see. - He...
After he sang together with you, he said this...
to our production crew. "I think he never works out."
Trainers notices such things very well.
- I think you should exercise more. - Okay.
So you can show us more things in your performances.
I actually met him and heard him sing...
for the first time today.
After a guest I like a lot leaves,
I feel very empty.
I know I have to let him go,
but I feel so empty already.
We still have lingering feelings...
- you left with us now. - I know.
- Thank you for your performances. - Thank you.
Lastly, I want to know how you felt today.
It has been years since I tried so hard like the past few days.
That's what I think.
I received a lot of energy...
and became confident. Thank you.
(You did a good job.)
With his great emotions...
and soulful singing skills,
Myung Jin showed us touching performances.
- Please give him a big hand. - Thank you.
(We will look forward to your future endeavors.)
I thought a lot that I might be singing...
only in old styles.
While preparing for the show,
I realized that I should keep doing what I'm good at...
and study a lot more. That's how I felt.
The panelists said such nice things to me,
so I received a lot of energy.
Dance and Sing Like a Bird, Black Swan...
was me, Moon Myung Jin.
Whether I'm on stage or not,
I will keep singing.
Please support me. Thank you.
Next week.
(I will make it into a sad ending.)
(I am King of Mask Singer.)
(Watch your vocal cords.)
(Panelists show off many talents.)
(The specialties express the desire to take the throne!)
(I don't want to do it.)
(The competition is so fierce that it is unpredictable.)
(What will happen to the queen seeking for the 6th win?)
The winner is...
Stay tuned.
(It will all be revealed next week.)
