The mysterious music show, King of Mask Singer.
This is the first match of Round One.
Should I float to the throne?
Original Waterproof Clock, Water Clock.
(Original Waterproof Clock, Water Clock)
I will make everyone get immersed in my touching performance.
(Acting cute)
(Jumping)
(It's nice to see you!)
He should be displayed in a museum.
My goodness.
He's really tall, isn't he?
He's a witty man.
Contending against her is this masked singer.
My song goes tick tock tick tock in the morning
Let Me Take Over, Sundial.
(Let Me Take Over, Sundial)
The sun is blazing, and my singing skills shine through.
(She looks confident.)
(She is great.)
Let Me Take Over, Sundial.
(The national treasure, number 845, proudly came from the museum.)
She is confident.
She's lovely.
(They are the great achievements of King Sejong and Jang Yeong Sil.)
(People are expecting a lot from Water Clock and Sundial.)
(The chestnut is excited.)
(It's a match between Water Clock, who is in charge of time at night,)
(and Sundial, who is in charge of time in the day.)
(What will their duet performance be like?)
Isn't this your song?
Is it Hyun Chul's song?
(The genius composer, Hyun Chul, wrote this song.)
- It's the genius composer's song. - Why did you realize it so late?
I wasn't sure what it was.
("The Blue in You" by Kim Hyun Chul and Lee So Ra)
(Surprised)
(Sundial begins the performance with her deep voice.)
(Impressed)
(Water Clock continues the song as if he's answering.)
(This is nice.)
(He sings with a sweet voice as if he's reading a letter.)
Gosh, he has such a beautiful voice.
(Sundial's deep voice...)
(and Water Clock's beautiful voice...)
(express the emotion of deep grief.)
(They gave a touching duet performance of "Blue in You".)
(We love it.)
(Impressed)
(What a great first performance!)
The brother and sister made a great harmony.
The first match of Round One has just begun.
I want to give the microphone to Hyun Chul.
You're the original performer, aren't you?
Well, I guess I am.
(Cheering)
Did you like their performance?
I think their performance was way better...
than the one I and Lee So Ra gave.
Really?
As for Water Clock...
He reminds me of Aaron Neville.
He's a singer who sings like this.
(That's somehow funny.)
His voice is just like that singer's voice...
when he does ad-libs.
He's got a good vibrato as well.
But his singing skills were a bit...
We expect a certain level of singing skills when we listen to...
- a singer's performance. - The standard?
His singing skills are right on that standard.
- Is he right on the standard? - Yes, he's right on the boundary.
So you're a bit confused.
Yes. So I'm not sure...
if he's a professional singer or not.
He sounds professional sometimes, but he's not enough sometimes too.
- And Sundial has... - What about Sundial?
a wide range of vibrato.
Her vibrato covers a wide range of frequencies.
Considering that,
she looks like a musical actress to me.
- So she's in the musical field. - Yes.
Ho Young, do you agree with him?
Even before Sundial's performance started, I got a rough idea already.
As soon as he saw her walking in,
Hyun Chul told me...
she might be in my field.
So I told him, "The performance hasn't even started."
- He said that's how he felt. - He must have gotten a hint...
from her costumes and appearance.
After hearing her sing,
I began to think that Hyun Chul might be right.
So you think she could be a musical actress...
when considering her costumes and appearance.
I'd like to stay open to one possibility.
She sounded like a singing deaconess.
(She sounded like a deaconess.)
How would a deaconess sing?
She would sing like this.
- Since today is Sunday... - I see.
What if she's a Buddhist?
- Well... - He's right.
- Bong Sun. - There is a possibility, but...
You're creating a stereotype of a certain religion.
As Hyun Chul said, her vibrato covers...
a wide range of frequency.
I think that's what makes Hyun Chul think she's a musical actress...
while Bong Sun thinks she's a sincere Christian,
for example, a deaconess.
- She must be a sincere believer. - But...
So you think she has to be a sincere believer.
I wonder what the poet of the Korean music industry thinks.
Young Seok?
I loved both their performances.
I think Water Clock taught himself how to sing...
and worked really hard on it.
You think he taught himself how to sing.
He studied especially the techniques...
of rhythm and blues very hard.
I can see he has practiced a lot.
But when you say he taught himself how to sing,
it could mean that he practiced a lot,
- He did practice a lot. - but in other words,
it means he has no basis.
He has no basis.
He has no teacher.
- He's so mean. - It can be interpreted...
that his performance was not that good.
Teaching yourself may not be the fastest way of learning,
but it makes you a very unique singer.
- So he's a unique singer. - He's a unique musician.
Personally, I have a feeling...
that Water Clock could be a foreigner.
Hang on a second. I'm sorry to interrupt you,
- but during his performance, - You agree, right?
his pronunciation reminded me of Jung Jae Hyung when he was in Basis.
He pronounces words like this.
(I don't like it)
(I don't like it anymore)
(You)
- "I don't like it". - "I don't like it".
- "I don't like it"? - Yes, he said it like that.
Sang, you know what I mean, don't you?
I also made a note of Jung Jae Hyung's name.
- Jung Jae Hyung? - I meant...
that his singing style reminded me of him.
- He does have the vibe. - Jae Hyung's singing style...
has a very unique tone.
Considering his body shape, he's not Jae Hyung, but...
- I don't think he's a foreigner. - As you know,
there are a lot of talented men on "Non Summit".
I know a German man who is very talented.
- Daniel from Germany. - Including Daniel,
I know a few people.
Alberto.
We never know until he takes off his mask though.
However, we, the 12 panelists,
will never be fooled by foreign contestants again.
We're determined.
They always fool us.
We can't let them fool us anymore.
(They got fooled by Cao Lu, Christian, and Tyler.)
(Including the legend of "She's Gone", Miljenko Matijevic,)
(Paul Potts and Ryan Reynolds fooled them too.)
(They have been fooled by foreign contestants.)
- We've been fooled enough. - I know.
I understand that you don't want to be fooled again.
- Take it easy. - "Take it easy"?
(Embarrassed)
He doesn't fall for my sneak attack.
Don't be shy. Okay?
(He embarrasses other people.)
- All right. - If he is a foreigner,
please introduce this song to your country.
My goodness. He's promoting his song.
You suddenly brought up your personal interests.
Today, one of our celebrity panelists...
is the 60th masked king.
Welcome, Baby Sea Horse, K.Will.
(The Baby Sea Horse, K.Will, is back with his new song, "Those Days".)
(Welcome, your Majesty.)
Hello, I'm K.Will.
He's one of the previous masked kings.
You even put this on my microphone.
We treat the previous masked kings with respect.
On my microphone are the pictures of my mask from the pilot episode...
and my mask from when I've become a masked king.
(This is the privilege of the former masked kings and queens.)
How did you like their performance?
As for Water Clock,
I bet he has a narrow jaw.
He has a narrow jaw?
When one has...
a narrow jaw and a thick tongue...
In the blue darkness
One can sing like this.
- K.Will. - Yes.
- That was an excellent deduction. - Was it?
(Oh, yes!)
- He does have a narrow jaw. - Does he?
(Seong Ju admits that Water Clock has a narrow jaw.)
- K.Will. - He guessed his jawline correctly.
Gosh, I was surprised.
- Thank you. - You surprised me.
- You guessed his jawline correctly. - Thank you.
I tell you when you guess something right.
- I see. - That's useful.
Does Sundial also have a narrow jaw?
- No, I don't think she does. - You don't think so?
I don't think her jaw is narrow.
Many people seem to guess...
that she's a musical actress,
- but I don't agree with them. - You don't?
No. When people sing high notes,
they make certain gestures.
And in her case, she uses her knees.
- Her knees? - Yes.
- For instance... - How?
(He bends his knees.)
Like this.
She moves like this when she stresses a note.
It looked like she bent her knees to get more power.
I thought that she's probably a singer who usually uses...
a microphone. So I don't think she's a musical actress.
Okay. Then I'll let you hear their real voices now.
Let's hear Water Clock's voice first.
He will imitate a character from "The Outlaws".
It's Jang Yi Soo, the boss of the Yi Soo Gang.
It's Jang Yi Soo's voice. Let us hear it.
"I didn't do it."
That's it.
What was that?
- "I didn't do it." - "I didn't do it."
Since you have many ideas about who he is,
please understand that I can't let him talk for long.
Why can't he let Water Clock talk for long?
Maybe there's a problem with his pronunciation.
Does that mean he's really a foreigner or what?
He will imitate Lee Sun Kyun's voice this time. Go ahead.
"I don't want spaghetti alle vongole."
That's all.
His pronunciation isn't really clear.
He did voice imitations to hide the fact that he's a foreigner,
but it only made us certain about it.
I did a little online search about Daniel Lindemann,
and he even holds his own concerts.
Apparently, he has great musical talents.
Also, K.Will said that Water Clock...
- has a narrow jawline, right? - Yes.
Daniel has a narrow jawline,
but I know that Fabien also has...
- Fabien? - a narrow jawline as well.
- Fabien. - Is he Fabien or Daniel?
I will let you hear his voice one last time.
Lastly, he will imitate Lee Soon Jae's voice. Go ahead.
"Make a call right now, you fool."
That's it. Yes.
I'm sure he's a foreigner.
Voice imitations like this are easy for foreigners to do.
Don't forget that it was his actual voice.
This time, I'll let you hear Sundial's real voice.
Firstly, she will imitate Jung In's voice.
Jung In's voice. Let us hear it.
(A husky voice)
All right, that's it.
(A short, impressive specialty)
That was concise.
This time, she will imitate Lee Seung Yeop's voice. Go ahead.
"Hi, I'm Lee Seung Yeop."
- That really sounded like him. - Right?
That was rather good when she's a woman.
I think she's an actress with many talents.
- An actress with many talents? - Yes.
- You mean Sundial? - Someone like Ra Mi Ran.
Ra Mi Ran? Maybe you're right.
- It sounded like her. - They look similar too.
Let me tell you this, Ben.
She's on another TV show at this time.
I doubt that it's her.
I see.
- Please don't be discouraged. - Okay.
- It's just my opinion. - All right.
- That's what I just thought. - Okay.
Yes.
(Laughing)
Don't be embarrassed. He's smiling...
behind those sunglasses.
- I can see it from here. - Yes.
We have a couple of members from GFRIEND with us today.
With them watching,
Water Clock will dance to "Sunny Summer" by GFRIEND...
and show off his dancing skills.
Music, please!
("Sunny Summer" by GFRIEND is a refreshing song.)
(How will Water Clock dance to this song?)
(Flapping)
(Oh, my.)
(What?)
(What on earth is this?)
(They burst out laughing.)
(Dancing cutely)
(Laughing)
(Adorable)
(What happened to this cute dance?)
They don't dance like this. Why is he dancing like this?
(The harder he dances,)
(the more he looks like an anchovy.)
(Laughing)
(He's as passionate as if he's the 7th member of GFRIEND.)
That's it.
(They applaud for his effort.)
There were many dance moves that I've never seen.
Really?
I've never seen those moves either.
I'm starting to doubt that he's Daniel now.
I know, right?
Still, I don't think we should give up yet.
I wonder if the people you've mentioned could dance like this.
I keep thinking about what Bong Sun said earlier.
- She thinks he's Cheon Myeong Hun. - Cheon Myeong Hun?
She thinks so,
but K.Will, Yoon Sang, and I don't agree with her.
Myeong Hun is a little taller than that.
When I watched Myeong Hun on TV when I was little,
his shape somehow reminded me of the number, one.
- I see. Number one? - Water Clock's shape...
reminds me of the number as well.
Also, when I picture his face behind that mask, it really fits.
- It really does. - But all you can see is this mask.
It just seems like him.
- Is that so? - Yes.
All right. I will now...
announce the result of the first match of Round One.
It's a match between Water Clock and Sundial, the two inventions...
of Jang Yeong Sil, the genius scientist.
Which of them will be the one...
to move on to Round Two? Let's find out now!
(Water Clocks' voice melts people's cold hearts.)
(Sundial's emotions also warm up your heart.)
(Their ensemble spread across the stage.)
Between Water Clock and Sundial,
who will be the winner of this match?
The winner is...
- The winner is... - The winner is...
(Is it manly Water Clock,)
(or is it passionate Sundial?)
(Who is the winner?)
Water Clock or Sundial?
The one who will move on to Round Two is...
Who is it?
(Let Me Take Over, Sundial wins.)
Sundial won.
(The sun never goes down!)
(It's Sundial indeed.)
Water Clock did a good job too.
She defeated Water Clock...
and became the first one to move on to Round Two.
The score is 67 to 32.
Congratulations, Sundial.
Please go back to your waiting room.
Let's give her a big hand.
(Water Clock's identity will be revealed soon.)
I will do my best and move on to Round Three.
Let's go!
Who could this man be?
Let's reveal his identity with his solo performance.
Please give him a big round of applause!
(Let's find out who he is!)
(People had different ideas about his identity. Who is he?)
Here we go.
What song is this?
("My Only Friend" by Solid)
He suddenly changed.
What is going on?
(Water Clock's shocking change!)
(He shows fancy rapping skills while playing with the rhythm.)
(His rap makes everyone dance to the rhythm.)
(Wait a second.)
(That dance seems familiar.)
- Is it him? - I think it's really him!
I think so too!
(Dancing lightly)
It's him!
(It has to be him!)
(His cheesy dance moves somehow look familiar!)
(Water Clock enjoys himself like a fish in water.)
(He freely controls the dynamics as well!)
(Shouting)
Now, Water Clock, please take off your mask...
and reveal your face!
(Screaming)
He is...
What is it?
I bet it's him.
(Tell us now!)
He is...
the rapper of NRG,
the first-generation global idol group, Cheon Myeong Hun!
(It really was Cheon Myeong Hun!)
(I was right!)
(Oh, it's Myeong Hun.)
(It's the cheesy guy whom we haven't seen for a long time.)
You're amazing. You really are.
(It's actually Myeong Hun.)
(It's definitely Myeong Hun!)
(He's as energetic as always.)
(It's time to dance.)
(Cool)
(Myeong Hun is the best!)
(Proud)
(I don't know.)
(It's our time now)
(Everyone bursts into laughter.)
(It was Cheon Myeong Hun's delightful performance.)
Cheon Myeong Hun!
That was the best.
Bong Sun is on a roll these days.
Please say hello to our viewers.
Hello, I'm Cheon Myeong Hun. It's good to see you all.
All right.
(He debuted as a member of NRG in 1997.)
(With unique performances...)
(and exciting songs, he became very popular.)
(Myeong Hun wrote some of their songs and lyrics himself.)
(NRG was one of the most popular groups that won many awards.)
- Thank you. - Thank you!
(His dance makes you feel uncomfortable.)
(He appeared on many shows as a guy who's always over the top...)
(and made his presence known.)
(He even pulled off comical acting.)
(He stared in dramas as comical characters.)
(He's expected to become greater in the future.)
(He's the uncomfortable boy forever.)
(Cheon Myeong Hun.)
Many of the panelists predicted you'd be non-Korean.
Have you ever heard of such a thing?
- It's my first time. - I see.
You just sang Solid's song, right?
In the past, I made my debut...
in this industry as a backup dancer,
and this song was my first stage.
(Myeong Hun during his days as a backup dancer)
- It must mean a lot to you. - That's right.
- Bong Sun recognized his identity. - Bong Sun is impressive.
I know. I was surprised.
She must be getting some superhuman abilities as she gets older.
- That's not true. - This wasn't easy.
- This wasn't easy. - I was aware...
that Myeong Hun was good both at singing and dancing.
I could tell it was him...
by looking as his gesture and stuff.
(She sensed some familiar feelings...)
(from this unfamiliar masked singer's gestures.)
(It's Myeong Hun.)
To be honest, I was startled.
You were startled.
You refrained yourself a lot on purpose, right?
- I refrained myself really hard. - Right?
When I did the dancing specialty,
I originally planned to do it like this.
But I unconsciously happened to do this instead.
It came out as if he sneezed.
We warned him so many times not to show his trademark.
He couldn't hide his thing in the end.
Still, he was good at dancing to begin with,
which was why he was able to stress the highlight of the dance.
Bong Sun, you're impressive.
We asked him to write down his goal in coming out on this show.
He wrote, "Wealth and honor". What does it mean?
My goal is to do a run-up here and fly over to that side.
(He wants to be a panelist.)
- Do you want to be one of them? - That's right.
And I'm currently living in Yangsu-ri,
- Yangsu-ri. - and my mother's friends...
wondered why I wasn't appearing on TV and urged me...
to try appearing on King of Mask Singer.
- "Myeong Hun". - I'm seriously hung up on it.
I buy lottery tickets from time to time,
and the owner of that store...
urges me to appear on this show as well.
"Aren't you appearing on King of Mask Singer?"
This is why you wrote,
"I'd like to show myself on this show to the owners of..."
"the lottery and convenience stores near my house."
Right.
And I'd like to apologize to the owner of the convenience store.
- Why? - Because I got worked up.
He kept on asking why I wasn't appearing.
I mean, I've got to be invited first.
It's not like I can wear a mask and go there as I please.
Right.
You have to be cast first before appearing on a show.
You can't do that just because you want to.
I'm sure they're proud to see you on TV today.
I feel so proud too.
The way I see it, the song, "Hit Song",
was written by this fellow.
He's a talented composer.
He's also talented in doing variety shows too.
Please come out and show off your talents.
Good.
After such a long time,
he has given us pleasure by singing instead of through variety shows.
I wish you could achieve your goal, wealth and honor.
- Give him a big hand. - Go for it.
(We'll look forward to seeing your future activities.)
Standing in front of many people in such a long time...
made me tremble so much.
Despite that, I think I could show my hard work.
Dear convenient store owner, neighbors,
and my mother's friends,
please make sure you watch this episode of the show.
Original Waterproof Clock, Water Clock,
was me, Cheon Myeong Hun.
I hope to see you often. Goodbye.
As the result of Round One,
Let Me Take Over, Sundial...
won against Cheon Myeong Hun and advanced to Round Two.
It's the second match of Round One.
She's got the voice that cures every disease.
Don't Hesitate and Press,
Tale of Byeoljubu.
(Don't Hesitate and Press, Tale of Byeoljubu)
I'll swim hard to reach the throne.
(The masked king better not run away.)
Masked singers today have distinctive characters.
She's put something in the belly of her outfit.
This masked singer is against her.
This masked singer wishes for a rope to Round Two.
We're Like Siblings, The Sun and the Moon.
(We're Like Siblings, The Sun and the Moon)
I'm going to climb up the throne.
(You've got to choose a nice rope to become a masked queen.)
Both of them are cute.
(She's confident despite her small physique.)
She's small.
(It's a battle between two fairy tales.)
(Which fairy tale will be recorded as a legend?)
(Will it be "Tale of Byeoljubu"?)
(Or will it be "The Sun and the Moon"?)
Look how they're putting their hands on their bellies.
How cute.
(Looking comfortable)
("Only the Words I Love You" by Rich)
(Her voice sounds calm.)
(She leads the melody in a stable way.)
(Her low-tone voice is strangely attractive.)
(Her clear voice resonates without any techniques.)
(She sings the melody one by one accurately.)
(Her voice is confident enough to protect her sibling.)
(House Band)
- What? - It's a woman?
It's a female singer.
(Tale of Byeoljubu has such a beautiful voice.)
(Her meticulous hand gesture helps her sing the correct notes.)
(Her flexible falsetto is charming.)
Is it a man?
(Her voice is too mysterious to figure out her gender.)
(It's enough to make the dragon king fall for her.)
(It's soft but sharp.)
(Her voice might even reach the underwater palace.)
(Her sentiments are brought up through the rope.)
(The performance feels like reading two different fairy tales.)
(The audience might climb the rope down to the underwater palace.)
(Amazed)
They don't seem to have the same gender.
- I think we're right. - Right, she's a woman.
The second match of Round One has ended.
Kai, what do you think is the charm of...
The Sun and the Moon's voice?
I thought her voice was...
very sexy.
It made me want to know more about her.
I think I should say...
it's such a valuable, low-tone voice itself.
I felt like she was hiding her ability.
When she could do better than this?
Yes, she might be a really famous singer.
I felt like she was acting throughout the performance...
to hide her identity.
I have to say she didn't get to...
fully show off her ability in the performance today.
Maybe she lost her focus and emotions...
due to excessive nervousness.
I have a different opinion.
I think she showed off her ability...
as much as she wanted.
The Sun and the Moon?
She's the type who sings in a calm manner.
In a serene mood...
as if she's saying, "I'm singing right now."
She originally isn't the type who expresses a lot of emotions.
That's how her singing style is.
That's what I think.
Okay, good.
Yoon Sang, what do you think about Tale of Byeoljubu?
Here's what I think about this round.
We got so confused throughout the performance...
because of her gender that so many guesses burst out...
in such a short period of time.
If we think only of her voice condition in the beginning,
Tale of Byeoljubu could be a singer.
A female singer.
- A female singer. - Yes.
There is a possibility she is a female singer?
I think the odds would be 87 percent.
87 percent. That's pretty high.
I think Tale of Byeoljubu is a man with a high vocal range.
Tale of Byeoljubu.
The opinions were divided on that matter,
but Tale of Byeoljubu's introduction let me know she is a woman.
- Really? - Yes, she introduced herself.
Is Tale of Byeoljubu a woman?
You are a funny woman.
She's a funny woman.
- I see. - Gu Ra may be wrong.
I got fooled many times.
I think Tale of Byeoljubu is a man.
- A man? - He used falsetto like a woman.
- "Hello." - Look here. Hear me out.
You did a little dance when you introduced yourself.
Would you show us again?
Hello,
I am Don't Hesitate and Press,
- Tale of Byeoljubu. - She is a woman.
- She is a woman. - No, he is a man.
- Why would you change her sex? - Ben and Hyun Chul think...
- Tale of Byeoljubu is a man. - I think he is pretending.
- He is a man. - I think he is a man,
- Ben, he is a man, right? - She is a woman!
Yes. I think he is a man.
- She is a woman! - Yes. I think he is a man.
Who thinks Tale of Byeoljubu is a man?
(Let's have a vote.)
The action resembles that of Kim Ho Young.
Six people.
The action resembles that of Kim Ho Young.
The votes are divided by half.
I see.
Seong Ju is incredibly happy.
(I love this.)
I didn't think this would happen.
Ben is playing a good role.
- I see that. - That's right.
I was certain Tale of Byeoljubu is a woman.
What made you think Tale of Byeoljubu might be a man?
Tale of Byeoljubu used a woman's key in the second verse.
Even though it's a key that can be sung in a normal way,
it sounded incredibly high...
when Tale of Byeoljubu sang.
A voice can sound like that...
when a man pretends to be a woman.
It's a shame he thinks that.
(It's a shame he thinks that.)
Sang thinks it's a shame.
He shook his head.
- Tale of Byeoljubu is a woman. - That's right.
- There was a group called Bee Gees. - Yes, I remember them.
Bee Gees' songs...
all sounded high,
but it was obvious the singers were men.
Tale of Byeoljubu has a woman's voice.
The tones between high tones and middle tones...
are very stable.
If you use neither falsetto nor chest voice,
it doesn't come out powerfully.
However, Tale of Byeoljubu's voice didn't waver.
That's why I think she is a woman.
If a man managed to do that,
that means Tale of Byeoljubu is an incredible singer.
(Tale of Byeoljubu could be an incredible singer.)
There is something that gnaws at my mind.
Tale of Byeoljubu is a bit taller than Seong Ju.
Tale of Byeoljubu must be about 167cm tall.
(Annoyed)
If she is taller than me, why would she be 167cm tall?
- I am sorry. - For goodness' sake.
A female singer...
who is 177cm tall would be rare.
- And look at her shoulders. - It really is.
If you compare them to those of Seong Ju,
the width is about the same.
Seong Ju has broad shoulders.
That's right.
Anyone with shoulders like mine is a man.
She might be wearing...
shoulder pads.
Isn't this a music program?
Shoulder pads?
You went too far.
If Tale of Byeoljubu is a man,
- If Tale of Byeoljubu is a man? - he will be the man...
with the most feminine voice I have ever seen.
I have a better idea.
Why don't I arm wrestle with Tale of Byeoljubu?
- An arm wrestle? - Yes.
After a match...
No, I can't allow that.
I will know for sure.
Why don't we make this official...
and take out 10 dollars each?
- Let's see how this goes. - Hyun Chul.
He took out money.
- Let's do this. - Why did you take out a coupon?
A coupon? We can use a gift voucher.
Let's wait and see...
how this goes.
The atmosphere is great.
I am so happy right now.
Let's talk about Tale of Byeoljubu later.
The thing is, we get hints from various angles.
Bong Sun isn't saying a word.
Do you know what that means? One time in the past,
she revealed too much information...
when Lee Su Ji visited the show.
Lee Su Ji was so upset at her.
The Sun and the Moon must be someone Bong Sun knows.
- Really? - Yes.
- Bong Sun is too quiet. - She is Bong Sun's friend...
with that height who usually puts her hands on her stomach.
She reminds me a lot of Kim Shin Young.
- Kim Shin Young. - She reminds me a lot of her.
That's why Bong Sun is keeping quiet?
Yes. She is being considerate of her friend.
When Kim Shin Young was fat,
she often put her hands on her stomach.
- It was a habit. - That's right. It was a habit.
Since I am facing forward,
I don't know how Bong Sun is reacting right now.
I just have a hunch.
She has worked with Kim Shin Young.
- All right. - Shin Young, show us a specialty.
A specialty.
Won't you imitate Mo Pal Mo today?
It looks like you will.
I think their specialties will receive...
more attention than usual.
Let's see their specialties.
Firstly, The Sun and the Moon will show her dancing skills.
Gu Ra is very expectant.
- Let's see her dancing skills. - Okay.
It's the sexy "Lip and Hip" dance.
Music, please.
(The sexy "Lip and Hip" dance)
(Sexy)
It's sexy.
(She has sexy a head, chest, and stomach.)
She is suddenly exuding...
her sexiness.
(She ends the dance one beat late.)
- Let's end it here. - It was nice.
She could be an idol singer.
Is she Kim Shin Young? What do you think?
(The ending didn't suit Kim Shin Young's style.)
Hong Hyun Hee.
Hong Hyun Hee?
- All right. - Hong Hyun Hee is a good guess.
Bong Sun, you're close with Hong Hyun Hee, right?
(Bong Sun, you're close with Hong Hyun Hee, right?)
Yes.
- She must be Hong Hyun Hee. - She is doing well, right?
I won't look at Bong Sun's face even once today.
I will continue to face forward.
- Okay. - Bong Sun's eyes...
are shifting a lot.
Is she Hong Hyun Hee?
Now, it's the masked singer whose sex is a mystery,
Tale of Byeoljubu.
We'll be hearing a voice impression.
Firstly,
we will hear Lee So Ra's voice.
Let's hear it.
Please, please
- Let's end it here. - That really is a man's voice.
Do you still think Tale of Byeoljubu is a woman?
(Sang doesn't waver.)
Isn't Tale of Byeoljubu a man?
The panelists are confused.
This time, we will hear So Hyang's voice.
Listen carefully.
(Hibiscus flowers are full along the mountains and rivers)
Let's end it here.
(Unsure)
I have no idea.
They are speechless.
- From time to time... - You must be confused.
I can tell you what it's like.
- We dress up as women sometimes. - That's right.
- I dress up as a woman sometimes. - That's right.
To get the details right,
I wear stockings.
But I get a sense...
of a single leg hair...
- the stockings couldn't hide. - Do you get that feeling?
- I got a hint... - Is that the sense you get?
of the masculine atmosphere.
- Really? - Yes.
He is a man.
- Is he a man? - It came out from time to time.
The national anthem did have...
- a hint of unshaven hair. - He is a man.
- Really? - Change your mind. He is a man.
- Stockings couldn't hide it. - There is no need for a dispute.
Okay. That's good.
Lastly,
(Listen to this.)
We will hear...
Lyn sing "Bingle Bangle" by AOA.
Let's hear it.
Shake your hips
What?
She is a woman.
(It's the most sorrowful "Bingle Bangle".)
(Shake your hips)
Let's end it here.
She is a woman!
My goodness.
She is a woman!
She is a woman.
The hair disappeared.
- No. - She shaved it.
All right.
It's time to announce the result of the second match of Round One.
Between Tale of Byeoljubu and The Sun and the Moon,
who will get remembered...
for years to come?
I'll now reveal the winner of this match.
(With a simple voice,)
(The Sun and the Moon delivered sincerity.)
(With an appealing voice that grabs people's ears,)
(Tale of Byeoljubu gave a touching performance.)
Between Tale of Byeoljubu and The Sun and the Moon,
who will be the winner of this match?
The winner is...
(King of Mask Singer)
- The winner is... - The winner is...
(Who will be the winner?)
(Between the two masked singers with different charms,)
(who will be the winner of Round One?)
- The winner is... - The winner is...
Who is the winner?
(Tale of Byeoljubu won.)
Tale of Byeoljubu won.
(Tale of Byeoljubu will be blessed.)
(Tale of Byeoljubu, good job.)
(The Sun and the Moon, don't go.)
With a final score of 75 to 24, Tale of Byeoljubu won.
With over 70 votes,
Tale of Byeoljubu became the winner.
Please go back to your waiting room.
Give Tale of Byeoljubu a round of applause.
(The Sun and the Moon's identity will be revealed.)
Look forward to Round Two!
The panelists said she is Bong Sun's friend.
Between Hong Hyun Hee and Kim Shin Young,
she is more likely to be Hong Hyun Hee.
Is she really Hong Hyun Hee?
We will reveal her identity with a solo performance.
Give her a big hand.
(Her identity will be revealed.)
(Who could be The Sun and the Moon, who has a sexy voice?)
("Jasmin Flowers" by Lee Seung Chul)
Is it "Jasmin Flowers"?
(The intro echoes around like calm ripples of water.)
It is Shin Young.
I'm sure it's Shin Young.
(The audience stirs as soon as she starts singing.)
(She continues her song without faltering.)
(She sings with her comforting low voice...)
(as if she's talking.)
(She calmly lets out the lyrics.)
(She doesn't have many techniques,)
(but her song touches people's hearts.)
Now,
The Sun and the Moon, please take off your mask...
and reveal your face.
(Screaming)
(Who is she?)
Who is she? Why?
(Are you Shin Young?)
(Are you that person we know?)
Please show your face.
She is...
an honorary graduate of the project group, Celeb Five,
the comedienne, Kim Young Hee.
(Is she the Kim Young Hee that we know?)
(Was it Young Hee?)
(We've been waiting for you, Young Hee.)
That's not her!
(Letting out a long sigh)
- Did you know? - I did!
We were so close.
(They had no idea who The Sun and the Moon was.)
(Amazed)
(She's stood up in front of people numerous times,)
(but she feels nervous while singing instead of telling jokes.)
(Young Hee's "Jasmin Flowers" gave a calm emotional resonance.)
Rock and roll!
I didn't expect to see her.
Well done, Young Hee.
Gosh, I just couldn't open my mouth.
Please say hello to our viewers.
Hello, I'm a comedienne, Kim Young Hee. Nice to meet you.
All right.
(She made her debut as a KBS comedienne in 2010.)
(With her inspired performance of playing a middle-aged woman,)
(she has generated a lot of catchy phrases.)
(She's a comedienne by nature who never spares herself.)
(She won the Best Comedienne Award on KBS in 2014.)
Thank you so much.
(She appeared in many TV commercials with her unique character.)
(She showed off a strong presence in variety shows.)
(She even starred in dramas with her outstanding acting skills.)
(She played many indispensable roles.)
(Then she joined the girl group, Celeb Five.)
(She's a comedienne, actress, and an idol artist.)
(Kim Young Hee has a chameleon-like charm.)
Was there anything...
you wanted to show people in King of Mask Singer?
I've only played strong characters,
so people either love me or hate me.
But I sang while wearing a mask today.
So I thought I could show people...
my true self without being unpretentious.
I see.
You sang very seriously today.
I guess you did it for the first time in a long time.
Right. I actually tried my best as I sang earlier.
But I didn't know I'd be despised like this.
(There were views that she hid her skills...)
(and she failed to adjust her physical condition.)
I really tried my best.
Your second song, "Jasmine Flowers", was even better.
I'm sure you were nervous before.
No, I did my best.
I wasn't nervous.
- She wasn't nervous. - I just tried hard.
She tried to appeal to the audience that she's Young Hee.
It's just too hard...
to distinguish Kim Shin Young, Song Eun Yi, and Shin Bong Sun...
from a distance.
They all have similar silhouettes.
- It's a hard thing to do. - I see.
Bong Sun, you've been quiet.
I guess you knew it was her.
I was sure about that.
So I kept my mouth shut.
But Ho Young is very close with Young Hee too.
Only the two of us recognized her.
- You knew as she started singing? - Yes.
I have a question.
Can you tell us how to distinguish...
Kim Young Hee, Hong Hyun Hee, and Kim Shin Young?
- For Shin Young... - What's the difference?
She's the shortest one. She weighs only about 40kg.
- Shin Young is? - Are you saying...
- she's short? - She's slim.
Hyun Hee speaks with a unique pronunciation.
Hello.
(Hyun Hee speaks with a unique pronunciation.)
- What about Young Hee? - For Young Hee,
she has surprisingly pretty legs.
But we can't see it because of her costume.
(I will show you somehow.)
She has a great pair of legs.
I have pretty legs,
so I always wear shorts before a cold wave comes.
We know each other's...
minor strengths that others can't see.
I see. All right.
Young Hee usually speaks in a husky voice.
I thought her song sounded somewhat lonesome.
It felt like walking through a small alley near bustling streets.
I realized that she is an emotional comedienne.
Thank you.
With her sincere song,
she showed off her unexpected charms.
Please give Young Hee a round of applause.
Thank you.
(We look forward to your future endeavors.)
It felt strange. There were people who know me in front of me.
I didn't even know what to do.
But thanks to my belly...
What do you have in your belly?
There's sponge in my belly.
Did you think it was my belly fat?
I felt comfortable standing like this.
I usually sing "Jasmin Flowers" when I have a hard time.
But now, I have good memories I'll remember with this song.
I'm grateful.
I'll work harder to give people laughter.
Please love and support me.
This is the third match of Round Three.
I mostly sang the songs in the textbook.
My Song Is Banned for Students, Perfect Score.
(My Song Is Banned for Students, Perfect Score)
The score of my song is 100 out of 100.
(Listen to my song, and do well on your college entrance exams.)
You have to listen to her song to get a perfect score.
Doesn't she feel like an idol?
Yes. She might be an idol.
Contending against her is this masked singer.
Failing an exam is not an option for me.
I Passed All the Exams,
First Place.
(I Passed All the Exams, First Place)
I will pass this round too.
(I hope everyone will get into the college they want.)
I think he's a handsome man.
He is very confident.
I think he's an idol.
(Perfect Score and First Place will give hope to high school seniors.) subtitles ripped and synced by riri13
(They will contain hope and courage in their song,)
(and it will let the students release their stress from studying.)
(Perfect Score will give them hope to get a perfect score.)
(First Place will give them courage to enter the college they want.)
("With You Everyday" by Deulgukhwa﻿)
"With You Everyday"?
It feels so fresh already.
(Du ru du)
(Du ru du du)
I didn't expect them to sing a song like this.
It's so lovely.
(Perfect Score has a clear voice that contains innocence.)
My goodness.
(Oh, dear.)
(First Place has the sweet voice that melts your heart.)
My heart is melting.
(Their gentle harmony seems to warm even the coldest weather.)
It's so sweet. So sweet.
- Her voice is really lovely. - It's lovely.
I feel good for no reason.
They are really lovely.
- I am clueless. - Who is it?
(The voice as fresh as morning dew...)
(meets the nice, soft voice that warmly hugs it.)
(They give us spring as a present in the cold winter.)
(I hope you will pass Round 1.)
(Perfect Score and First Place's "With You Everyday"...)
(made us want to listen to it every day.)
(It melted all of our hearts.)
(My goodness.)
That was so fresh.
My heart is fluttering.
The third match of Round One, the duet song competition, ended.
Let's talk to Yu Young Seok, the poet of King of Mask Singer.
What did you think of it?
When they were singing,
they sounded like a couple that just started going out.
- Really? - Yes.
The two of them?
Are they both singers?
They are both singers. To be honest,
one of them must leave like always,
but I feel particularly bad today...
because I feel like I am disturbing a couple.
What is the charm of First Place's voice?
I think he knows what ladies like.
(Does First Place know how to win women's hearts?)
I think he's got the charm to make ladies approach him,
even by just whispering.
It was sweet.
- Kai. - I think the biggest charm...
of Perfect Score is her nasal voice.
She's got the nasal voice.
A lot of men fall in love...
when they see a beautiful woman with a nasal voice.
She's cute and bubbly.
That's why she sings with a lot of bright energy.
I think that's her strength.
You think she's born with a nasal voice.
- Yes. - Right.
I think Perfect Score might be a very meticulous person.
Meticulous?
She knew it was too low for her,
but she still sang the first verse one octave lower.
- One octave lower? - Yes.
She did that to draw more attention to her in the second verse.
She used that strategy.
And First Place...
completely lost control over the stage by her strategy.
(Did he lose control of the stage?)
I feel a little sorry too.
He should've revealed himself a little more.
When we go to a restaurant,
we can't judge that place by drinking tea.
- Right. - We must taste at least the kimchi.
It was as if he didn't even serve kimchi.
(What an analogy.)
- That's how it felt. - Really?
How can he win the first place like this?
(He's ruthless.)
I feel sorry about that.
- I know he's charming. - Right.
Perhaps he might have caught a cold?
Did you catch a cold?
- In the middle of singing, - You diagnosed his illness?
- he was coughing a lot. - You only heard his voice...
- and figured it out. - He coughed...
- very often. - His voice sounded very husky.
I think he usually sings very beautifully.
We say some people have voices that capture women's hearts.
I think that's who he is.
I say that because of this.
One of the most popular singers with such a voice...
is Sung Si Kyung.
His strategy is to use...
a lot of sibilant sounds.
- Sibilant sounds? - When you sing "With You Everyday",
There are these soft sounds.
This is how it's originally sung.
With you everyday
- This is how it's originally sung. - Right.
With you everyday
That's how you do it.
- Right. Right. - Is there such a singing method?
(With you everyday)
(Murmuring together)
He sang like that every time.
It means he's always ready to melt women's hearts.
By the way, are you not doing so well?
Yes. Today...
I got an IV fluid today.
- Oh, dear. - By the way,
did you get sick because you were nervous about this?
Or is it because you are busy?
To do well on King of Mask Singer,
I practiced a lot.
So I got a cold and a body-ache at the same time.
Did your mother want you to be on this show?
- What? - Did your mom want it?
- That's a detailed question. - Wait.
Why would you ask such a detailed question?
Can you...
take the mic close to your mouth and cough?
- Will it help if you hear it? - Yes. Yes.
I am trying to find out something.
We will let you hear it when there's a chance.
(Right.)
I think First Place is an idol.
- He's a famous person, isn't he? - I think he's a rookie idol.
- A rookie? - A rookie idol.
I can see that he has been preparing hard for this.
I think he's got a lot of talents.
He's got a lot of talents.
I think he might even be able to rap.
He introduced himself like this at first. "I am First Place."
(He introduced himself like that while moving to the groove.)
I think he might even be able to rap.
I think he's not a complete rookie.
I think he's about as experienced as us.
That's better.
Don't follow her.
I think he's someone...
who sings a lot of trendy songs.
I can tell from the way he dances and sings.
When he sings another song,
I think he will be able to show his style much better.
She got it precisely.
- And... - How many years...
of experience do you think he has?
- 4 to 5 years. - 4 to 5 years.
- Really? - I'm sorry to say this.
I will confess.
I gained information...
- Do you know who he is? - illegally.
Illegally?
Yes, there was an information leak.
You gained information illegally?
Wait.
Did you run into his manager in the hallway?
I did.
(No way.)
How can you do this?
I had to use the toilet. What could I do?
It was an accident.
- Did you meet him too, Bong Sun? - No.
I use the ladies' room.
(Laughing)
- But you take... - Right.
- the same path. - Right.
He might not be that person.
Um Ji.
- And Perfect Score. - Perfect Score?
When I first heard her voice,
I thought she must be very young.
I even wondered if she was a foreigner.
But the more I listened,
the more mature her voice sounded.
Is her voice mature?
It's not that mature,
but her performance was stable.
Then is Perfect Score...
a senior to First Place?
I don't think so. I think Perfect Score is a junior.
But you just said her performance was stable.
There are many new singers who can perform stably.
There you go. You can just talk like that.
But you said she had a mature voice.
Her voice is young,
but the way she sings was mature.
She's so smart. That's the way you do it.
So her voice is born mature?
No, her voice is young, but...
There you go. That's how you do it.
Then what is mature?
She means she looks like a new singer,
but she's skilled at vocalizing.
- Is that what you mean? - Bong Sun.
Yes, it is.
Bong Sun played the role of a mother when she just debuted.
- That's true. - That's what she's talking about.
- Do you know what I mean? - I don't think that's the same.
- Did she? - Yes.
All right. Let's check out their specialties now.
First Place is going to let you hear his real voice.
He'll do an impression of KCM first. Please let us hear it.
If the sun burns all the memories away
(He does a perfect impression of KCM singing through tears.)
That was his real voice.
(He did a good job.)
- He has a slight cold now. - That was great.
Although he's sick...
- and he's still coughing, - If only he was healthier today.
he did his best.
Good. Now, he's going to imitate the sound of water being poured.
Let's see what it sounds like. Please let us hear it.
(Curious)
(He opens the lid.)
(Pouring)
- That was interesting. - He's really good at it.
That was only 500ml. Can you pour 1000ml of water?
(Of course, I can!)
- 1000ml? - Yes.
(He got 1000ml of water ready.)
(Impressed)
(Thumbs up.)
That was great.
He did a great job despite his sore throat.
Now, it's Perfect Score's turn.
College entrance exams are just around the corner.
Perfect Score is going to dance...
for those who will take the test...
to wish them full marks on the test.
Music, please.
(Dance with me!)
(She gets ready for the cheering.)
It's "Cheer Up".
Pay attention to her dance moves.
(I'm cheering for you!)
(Cheer up.)
She's boosting up energy.
(I wish you get good grades and be accepted to universities.)
(I cheer for you all.)
(Everyone, cheer up!)
- This would cheer up the students. - She danced to TWICE's song.
She made the song into a cheering song.
When we dance like this,
we don't necessarily need pants.
- For a choreography like this? - Exactly.
She could have danced without the pants on,
but she prepared the pants in advance.
So I think she might not be an idol singer.
- I see. - When girl groups like GFriend...
put on short skirts on stage,
they use their special skills...
to hold the flapping skirts on the stage.
- Yes, we take that into account. - Am I right?
So you think she wouldn't have needed to wear...
a pair of sweatpants if she was a member of an idol group?
- Exactly. - So she might not be an idol.
- That's very sharp of her. - I see.
Good. Now, I'm going to announce the result of the third match.
Between Perfect Score and First Place.
According to the result,
it was a very close match.
One got only one more vote than the other...
from the regular panelists.
(Surprised)
Let's see whom the celebrity panelists voted for.
Let's check out the result right now!
(It will be revealed now!)
(Perfect Score has a voice moist like morning dew.)
(First Place is sentimental like a sunset.)
Between Perfect Score and First Place,
who is the one to move on to Round Two?
The winner is...
(Who is the winner?)
Is it Perfect Score or First Place?
(To whom did the panelists give more points?)
(The winner is...)
The winner of this match is...
(King of Mask Singer)
- The winner is... - The winner is...
The winner is...
(Perfect Score is the winner.)
The winner is Perfect Score!
(Perfect Score got full marks!)
(She enters Round Two.)
She had such a great voice.
Perfect Score is the winner.
She beat First Place with a score of 54 to 45.
She's become the winner by nine votes.
Please give her a round of applause.
(First Place's identity will be unveiled soon.)
Let's go to Round Two!
(Cheer up!)
Now, you have to reveal your face.
It must've been tough for you today because of the cold.
His body is pretty warm now.
Despite the difficulty,
he sang with a very nice voice.
Let's find out...
who First Place is...
through his solo performance.
Please give him a round of applause!
(His identity will be soon unveiled through his solo performance.)
(His charming whisper attracts you.)
(Is he a talented idol singer who is popular among women?)
His voice tells he's a cheerful man.
It's "The Manual" by Eddy Kim.
I think he's going to nail it.
("The Manual" by Eddy Kim)
(Oh, my gosh.)
(His gentle whisper tickles our hearts.)
(The warmth spreads in the air like a blooming flower.)
(Who could he be?)
(Like a gentle spring breeze,)
(his beautiful voice makes our hearts flutter.)
He has a fragrant voice.
(His voice is as sweet as honey.)
Now, First Place,
- I'm so grateful for his voice. - take off your mask...
- and reveal your identity. - It's so sweet.
(Please reveal your identity.)
(Surprised)
(What?)
I'm so curious.
Who is he? How could he have such a sweet voice?
I'm so curious.
(I'm so curious.)
He is...
the skilled main dancer of iKON,
Kim Dong Hyuk.
(It's Kim Dong Hyuk from iKON!)
(We were completely fooled!)
Really?
(His identity makes their jaws drop.)
He's the main dancer of the group?
(His groovy voice sounds relaxed.)
I never even imagined that it could be him.
(No one has seen Dong Hyuk's sweet solo performance.)
(He stole every woman's heart.)
(He has complete control over his voice and tempo.)
(This is Dong Hyuk's manual for the perfect usage of his voice.)
(His voice is comforting and addictive.)
(This is nice.)
(This beautiful girl)
(Don't let her go)
(Winking)
(Dong Hyuk's "The Manual" brought spring to our hearts.)
(It's so sweet.)
He has such a pretty voice.
How could a dancer sing so well?
Please introduce yourself to the viewers.
Hello, I'm the main dancer of iKON. I'm Dong Hyuk.
- Hello. - It's a pleasure to meet you.
(He debuted as a member of iKON in 2015.)
(Their song, "Love Scenario", belatedly topped the charts.)
(They won every award for new artists.)
(They even took over the world. They're world stars.)
(He has a very charming and unique voice.)
(As a main dancer of the group, he has killer dance moves.)
(All women fell in love with Dong Hyuk.)
(Dong Hyuk is an irresistibly charming man.)
He's been preparing a lot for our show,
but unfortunately, he caught a cold this week.
He had a hard time at the rehearsal as well.
In spite of that, he did a great job.
Since he's the main dance of the group,
we don't have many chances...
to hear his voice.
- That's true. - This must have been a good chance.
You have such a beautiful voice.
I wanted to sing with a clearer voice,
but unfortunately, I caught a cold while preparing for the show.
I feel bad that I couldn't give a better performance.
Yes, he was very worried,
but he did an excellent job.
I heard you've been very nervous...
while preparing for the show.
Why were you so nervous?
Ever since I was born,
I never watched a variety show...
over 10 times before going on it myself.
That's how much I wanted to be here.
As the dancer in the group,
I wondered if people would like to hear my voice...
without knowing that it's me.
I wanted to know what they would think of my voice.
I've been preparing for this for a long time.
That's probably why...
I was more nervous than usual today.
You're the fourth member of iKON...
to perform on our show.
I heard that you wanted to come to our show...
before the others did.
Yes, but I wasn't disappointed that Bobby came here first.
It was actually a good chance for me...
because I got to watch how the other members did it.
I could learn how you prepare for this show beforehand.
Um Ji of GFRIEND said he would be an idol singer...
who debuted about 4 years ago. She's right about that, right?
- We debuted in the same year. - We won...
the best new artist award together.
- You won the award together. - Yes.
I wish he hadn't caught a cold.
You should come to this show again.
I knew that he was a very good singer.
- Right. - It's such a shame that he lost.
When you catch a cold, you can't really listen well.
I'm sure he's been having many difficulties.
I'd like to applaud him for his courage.
Moreover, iKON is an idol group that rocks the entire country,
but he still tried his very best.
That was really impressive.
- He really did his best. - Right.
With a charming and beautiful voice,
he showed his potential today as a vocalist, not just a dancer.
It was Kim Dong Hyuk of iKON. Please give him a big hand!
Go, Dong Hyuk!
(Let us hear your voice more often.)
I thought I won't have many chances to sing alone on stage.
It was such an honor and pleasure to be on this show.
That's why I was more nervous than usual.
I Passed All the Exams, First Place...
was me, Dong Hyuk of iKON.
Thank you.
My Song Is Banned for Students, Perfect Score...
defeated Kim Dong Hyuk of iKON...
and moved on to Round Two.
The last match of Round One.
He has trained his vocal cords for this day.
I've Waited 1,000 Years to Sing,
General Hwang!
(I've Waited 1,000 Years to Sing, General Hwang)
I have practiced singing for 1,000 years.
Would you like to hear it?
(I've waited 1,000 years for this. Don't you want to hear it?)
(We've been waiting for it too.)
He's kneeling down?
That was a great scene.
Let's meet his opponent.
We should share beautiful voices together.
I Will Return as the Masked King,
Goblin!
(I Will Return as the Masked King, Goblin)
Every song I've sung sounded nice.
(Is that Gong Yoo's face?)
(Oh, my gosh.)
(Fascinated)
Is he impaled by a sword?
I wish he has the same face as his mask.
(They're both the protagonists of sad love stories.)
(Who will captivate the audience...)
(and make it to Round Two?)
(General Hwang, the charismatic man who has waited a thousand years?)
(Goblin, the romantic man who appeared like the first snow?)
This song is...
It sounds serious.
- They must be amazing singers. - Yes.
(Their long-awaited match begins!)
(General Hwang starts singing first with a serious tone.)
(He sings as if he's drawing you in.)
I think he's a musical actor.
(Who could it be?)
(Goblin fights back with a soft voice.)
(It's an intense match between two men.)
(As if he's venting his feelings during his long waiting,)
(General Hwang sings with a heavy voice.)
(Goblin's voice sounds soft yet strong.)
(The two men sing out their sorrowful cries.)
(Every woman in the studio has already fallen in love with them.)
They're two real men.
His singing style is really unique.
("I Stay in Your Love" is a song about a man's cry for his old love.)
(Gosh, they're really good!)
(That was intense.)
That was great.
(They're still immersed in the song.)
The last match of Round One is now over.
Please say hello to our viewers first.
I've Waited 1,000 Years to Sing.
I'm General Hwang.
(Laughing)
He's completely absorbed in his role as General Hwang.
Hello, everyone. I Will Return as the Masked King.
I'm Goblin.
All right. Good.
Hyun Chul, did you find the charms within their voices?
As for Goblin,
I think his strength is his low-pitched voice.
I think he's using...
the singing style that was popular...
between the late 1990s and the 2010s.
And General Hwang has a great baritone voice.
A great baritone voice?
The gestures he made looked very manly,
and he made gestures...
even when he didn't need to.
That made me carefully think...
that he could be a trot singer.
- I think he may be a trot singer. - Really?
They have voices that really match their masks.
Goblin has a kind, warm voice just like Gong Yoo.
His voice has everything it needs...
to capture people's ears.
He's probably a singer who has solid basic singing skills.
And General Hwang sang like an actual general.
I've never seen anyone who sang this song so fiercely like him.
- Did it show his temper? - He has a temper and charisma.
It showed the resolution he made during his 1,000 years of waiting.
He took up half of the stage,
but it felt like he set the entire stage on fire.
Ben, you like dramas, don't you?
I love them.
Who do you like better...
based on their voices alone?
Gong Yoo here.
- Not the real Gong Yoo. - You're calling him Gong Yoo?
I meant Goblin.
- You like Goblin better? - Yes.
Do you think most females will vote for him?
Even I had to look away from Goblin...
while he was singing.
It felt like I was watching Gong Yoo sing.
I think Goblin will be...
under a lot of pressure when he takes off his mask.
Also, General Hwang seemed...
- quite excited about this. - Really?
I think he likes his mask very much.
- Am I right? - He's laughing.
Look at his head shaking.
His head is shaking.
It's shaking, right?
- He moved! - He's been very serious...
- just like the real General Hwang. - Don't hold your laughter.
Laugh.
- Laugh. - Let me predict...
his current emotional condition.
He received his mask during the performance practice.
He liked it.
And he put on his outfit today.
He loved it.
That's why he's immersed in his character.
The former masking king is different indeed.
You can figure out the details.
This is nothing big.
You're right. I mean, he could relax a bit,
- but he's clenching his fists. - It should be uncomfortable by now.
- It's too late to go back. - Look at his clenched fists.
Don't make your life that tiring.
He's General Hwang.
No matter what others say, he's General Hwang.
Here's what I think about General Hwang.
He might be an actor.
He was immersed in his character...
even when he was singing during the performance.
Is that why you think he's an actor?
There's someone that came to my mind when I saw his mask.
Kim Eung Soo.
- Kim Eung Soo? - Yes.
This is the worst.
(This guess is the worst.)
- Seriously... - He acted a general role...
- in a historical drama. - This is so wrong, right?
Seong Ju, please say she's wrong for the first time.
- "For the first time". - Please say she's wrong.
Let's not go that far.
We know well...
- about Eung Soo. - Right.
She's gone too far.
It's time to check their specialties now.
First off, this masked singer...
is good at sound imitation.
With his real voice,
he'll mimic the sound of a vacuum machine...
when some clothes get stuck.
Let us hear it.
(Buzzing)
(He's good.)
- All right. - That's right.
- When clothes get stuck. - Right.
This time, it's the sound of a scaling...
at a dental clinic. Let us hear it.
(Open your mouth.)
(Groaning)
Water is coming out.
(Open up wide.)
(Wider)
(It's almost over.)
"Water is coming out" in the middle...
- How detailed. - is the killing point.
It did sound like a dentist.
"Water is coming out."
But don't you think his voice sounded very familiar?
Hold on a second. I got an idea.
Among actors...
with off-the-wall charms,
there's this actor named Han Jung Soo.
- Han Jung Soo? - Han Jung Soo.
What do you think?
- Han Jung Soo. - He's acted a lot of...
- warrior roles. - He's...
- very muscular too. - He starred in "The Slave Hunters".
In the past, he once was a member...
of a duo singing group...
named Nemix.
This time, let's hear the real voice of Goblin.
He will imitate two voices at the same time.
It's said he's prepared...
the voices of Jang Dong Gun and Yu Oh Seong...
in the movie, "Friend".
Please begin with your real voice.
Are you appearing on King of Mask Singer alone?
What about me?
Am I your underling?
Do you want to die?
- All right. - That was amazing.
(It was short but strong.)
It was Oh Seong's voice in the end.
He's good.
Now, lastly,
it's General Hwang.
He's going to dance by using the basic movements of kendo.
Music, please.
(Shall we go on a morning exercise?)
(Looking for a nice tree)
(What is he doing?)
He looks skilled.
(He keeps practicing even if it snows.)
He seems to be making it look funny on purpose.
Look at that.
(He shakes the snow off and dances again.)
(Dancing)
(Shaking off the snow that's piled up for 1,000 years)
He does have kendo skills. All right, that's it.
I personally think...
his kendo dance...
is the specialty of the month.
He's done his best.
The specialty of the month on King of Mask Singer.
He's very passionate.
All right, I'll now announce...
the result of the final match of Round One.
Between General Hwang and Goblin,
who will be the winner of this match?
I'll now reveal...
the only winner...
who'll advance to the next round.
(General Hwang has presented such an immersive performance.)
(Goblin has fought back with his firm voice.)
Who is the winner of this match,
who will get to come back with another performance?
The winner is...
- The winner is... - The winner is...
(What's the ending of these deep and tough guys?)
(The winner is...)
- The winner is... - The winner is...
The winner is...
(Goblin wins.)
Goblin is the winner.
(Goblin's pure heart wins.)
What a shame.
But I loved General Hwang.
The voting difference is 54 to 45.
54 to 45.
Goblin has been chosen by nine votes after a close match.
Please move to your waiting room. Give him a big hand.
(General Hwang's identity will be revealed soon.)
Goblin is advancing to Round Two.
I'll try to be less nervous and sing better in Round Two.
Please look forward to it.
Because of this outfit,
General Hwang has been in a hyper mood.
I wonder who he is.
Let's check his identity...
as we listen to his solo performance.
Please give him a round of applause.
(His identity will be revealed along with his solo performance.)
(While there are all kinds of guesses about him,)
(what kind of performance will he show?)
How manly.
("Rain and You" by Park Joong Hoon)
He's from our generation indeed.
His voice is unexpectedly smooth.
(Instead of showing his tough side,)
(he sings sorrows in rain.)
(He calmly delivers the sad emotion.)
- He stresses each lyric. - Right.
(It rains today...)
(just like when you left me.)
(I thought I'd be all right.)
(Patting)
(Tears flow down with rain.)
Now, General Hwang, please take off your mask...
and reveal your identity.
Show us your face.
(No way.)
He is...
Who is it?
They're shocked.
Now, General Hwang, please take off your mask...
and reveal your identity.
He is...
an amazing actor as well as a rising rookie in variety shows.
He's Song Jae Hee.
(He's Song Jae Hee, not Shin Hyun Joon?)
(Nobody could expect...)
(his identity.)
- He's hilarious. - He's an actor. We got it right.
(After taking off the mask,)
(he's more deeply immersed in the performance.)
(Just like his acting,)
(he freely releases his emotions.)
(He's like a magician on the beat.)
(Singing each note accurately)
(He delivers his emotions with all his heart as an actor.)
(How long...)
(shall I shed tears?)
("Rain and You" by Song Jae Hee, was sung with 1,000 years of sorrow.)
(Everyone was touched.)
(Good job.)
He is an interesting guy.
He is an attractive oddball.
The identity of General Hwang is revealed now.
It was the actor, Song Jae Hee.
Please say hello to our viewers.
Hello, I'm an actor, Song Jae Hee.
(The good-looking guy caught people's eyes...)
(when he played Heo Yeom in "The Moon Embracing the Sun".)
(He officially made a debut on "Road Number One" in 2001.)
(He is a good actor with a sweet voice.)
(He is an actor of a broad spectrum,)
(and he was in movies as well.)
(With his charms as an oddball,)
(he looks promising on variety shows too.)
(He is so ambitious to be funny.)
(The actor, Song Jae Hee, is full of positive and powerful energy.)
King of Mask Singer is where you break prejudices.
"Through King of Mask Singer,"
"I wanted to break the prejudice that I am a fool."
What does this mean?
I did my best in doing everything I can do on variety shows.
And one day...
(His nephew happened to watch Jae Hee on TV.)
my 13-year-old nephew sent a text message to me.
He asked, "Are you a fool, Uncle?"
I think his friends teased him for that.
When I received the text message,
I was heartbroken.
So I decided to sing well...
and show how cool I am...
on the show today,
but I got to do various things regardless of that.
What would your nephew say if he sees you on this show today?
I hope he won't watch this episode.
(That man is not my uncle!)
(Laughing)
- But since this is a variety show, - Sure.
he just tried his best to make it fun.
Until Jae Hee came on King of Mask Show,
he had to get mentally prepared for over 2 years.
How are you going to explain this?
Rather than getting mentally prepared,
I prepared my singing skills.
Ever since was young, I couldn't learn things quickly...
or do well even though I tried.
I started to dream of becoming an actor,
and it took 13 years until I became a professional actor.
I made a debut when I was 33 years old.
But I realized something while I was waiting for my debut.
Although I can't do it well in one go,
I'm just a little slower than others.
I realized that I can reach there in the end if I keep trying.
Actually, I was asked to be on King of Mask Singer...
two years ago,
but I couldn't be here until now.
You have prepared for that long?
- Oh, Song Jae Hee. - He is amazing.
Let me tell you a behind-the-scenes story.
After his character was decided as General Hwang...
You know how he has snow on here.
He prepared the snow spray...
- Goodness. - and sprayed it himself.
For his character.
And when he was making an appearance today,
- he was on his knees, right? - Was that...
his own idea too?
He insisted that he should be...
on his knees until he finishes his singing and specialties,
and we barely persuaded him to stand.
"You have to sing while you are standing."
(He surely is professional.)
I've been on a show with him a few years ago.
I realized that he is beyond an actor...
and has positive madness.
- He is a very funny guy. - I know.
He is hilarious.
Young Seok, Jae Hee's voice is certainly charming, right?
I guess it turned out to be somewhat comical after all,
but I think his voice is pure, clean,
and beautiful just like his personality.
Above all, I was touched...
by his mindset.
He said that he may be slower than others,
but he said he can make it happen by just trying some more.
I liked it a lot.
Whether it's singing or acting,
I'd like him to do something...
that recharges him instead of discharging him quickly.
(He hopes Jae Hee will show his value.)
I'd like to see you on variety shows more often.
Today, he was more serious than ever...
and showed his hidden singing skills as much as possible.
Please give a round of applause...
- to Jae Hee. - Thank you.
Thank you.
(We'll look forward to your great future activities.)
I think two years wasn't enough for me.
Should I practice for three years more?
(Should I practice for three years more?)
I'm not a good singer, but I'm a person who likes singing.
I'd like to live a life like a song.
It's something that does not go straight,
but it's something that has its ups and downs.
So songs are like my life to me.
I've Waited 1,000 Years to Sing, General Hwang...
was me, Song Jae Hee.
I'll become the actor who keeps working hard, Song Jae Hee.
Thank you.
(I'll become the actor who keeps working hard, Song Jae Hee.)
Next week.
(Extraordinary specialties...)
(and skillful challengers threaten the masked king.)
(There will be very close matches.)
(Big Chestnut Bread is at a crisis.)
(I feel anxious.)
(The result turns out to be a surprising twist.)
(Will he lose the throne or keep it?)
Who wants to see it with me?
(Please don't miss it, and stay with Big Chestnut Bread.)
