The mysterious music show, King of Mask Singer.
Previously on King of Mask Singer.
With her unbelievable rock spirit, she made us feel a shudder.
Dominating the stage, she succeeded to win for the fourth time.
And she rose as another long-lasting queen.
She is A Woman of Her Own, Swordswoman.
(A Woman of Her Own, Swordswoman)
This is time to recharge your energy with great music.
The mysterious music show, King of Mask Singer.
I am your unbiased show host, Kim Seong Ju. Welcome.
(Kim Seong Ju)
(Seo Ji Suk, Eun Kwang of BTOB)
(Mina, Momo, and Chae Young from Twice)
Last week, the queen sang Seo Moon Tak's song,
"Love Never Fade",
and succeeded to win for the fourth time.
She is A Woman of Her Own, Swordswoman.
Please say hi to the viewers.
(She's cute.)
(She loves being the queen.)
I am the queen who lives off your love.
I am A Woman of Her Own, Swordswoman.
(She's still adorable.)
If you succeed to defend your throne today,
you will be the third person, after Sunwoo Jung A, Red Mouth,
and Cha Ji Yeon, Catgirl,
to achieve a winning streak of five victories.
When that happens, you will be the third in the rank,
following the first in the rank, Ha Hyun Woo, Music Commander,
and the second in the rank, So Hyang, Spirited Lady.
Winning five times is a very difficult thing to do.
Are you in good condition today?
Yes. I always train my body and soul.
So I am always in good condition.
Are you? I see.
Can I ask what your goal is?
- After winning four times, - Yes.
- I want more. - You want more, don't you?
I have a very big goal.
- You have a very big goal? - Yes.
- Right. - It's being the first in rank.
(She wants to be first in rank on King of Mask Singer.)
My mom said I should dream big.
It means she's going to win 10 times.
It's not easy to win again after winning four times.
What do you think, Gu Ra?
The world-renowned actor and singer,
the heroine of "The Way We Were", Barbara Streisand,
doesn't perform a lot on stage.
Despite the fact that she's a great singer,
she suffers from stage fright.
A lot of great singers have stage fright.
However, I think that person is someone...
specialized for competitions.
She's the type of person who finds thrill...
from beating her competitor.
- Right. - That's why...
she's perfect for competitions.
- Her personality is fit for it. - However,
one of the principles that never change...
is that nothing lasts forever.
I hope you enjoy this moment.
- She might get defeated anytime. - Of course.
Her goal is winning 10 times.
Of course.
When someone wins 10 times in a row,
- King of Mask Singer... - Yes.
will go global.
Go global.
- World-famous singers... - Right.
- will be invited here. - Yes.
The mysterious music show, King of Mask Singer.
The 74th Queen of Singer, A Woman of Her Own, Swordswoman...
is going for her fifth win. Who will be the last person to survive...
and become her rival?
We will now begin the duet song competition.
Let's begin the first match of Round One.
(The first match begins.)
(King of Mask Singer)
This is the first match of Round One.
He will have a turf fight with the queen.
It's Actually Genuine, Pricey Pottery.
With my posh voice, I will take the throne.
(Don't block my way.)
(He's full of spirit.)
Gosh, what's going on?
(With his spirit, he captures everyone's attention.)
He looks expensive.
Contending against him...
is this great cultural heritage.
My Dear Porcelain, Goryeo Celadon.
I will capture your heart with my delicate singing.
(Trust me, and follow me.)
(She's also full of spirit.)
She looks even more expensive.
It's like that show about pricing antiques.
(It's a singing competition between two national treasures.)
(We can't predict anything...)
(about who will prevail.)
(Hello.)
(It's rustic beauty versus stylish beauty.)
(Who will be the winner?)
("It's Gonna Be Rolling" by Lee So Ra and Park Hyo Shin)
(The band plays a beautiful melody...)
(and heightens the expectation.)
How can it be so good as soon as it started?
How can it be good from the beginning?
It's nice.
(Her mellow voice melts our heart.)
(The two talented singers have a fantastic harmony.)
(Their technique is excellent.)
(Their groove is full of emotion.)
(Both of them show a perfect performance.)
(I love it.)
(Their marvelous voices fill the stage.)
(They burst out their emotions.)
(Their perfect harmony made it the best duet performance.)
(What on earth just happened?)
- They are so good. - How is this possible?
I know.
Perfect. You are perfect.
The first match of Round One is now over.
It was a close match.
I'm sure Swordswoman was surprised...
to watch this performance.
Maybe we shouldn't have said she might win 10 times in a row.
We should be careful about what we say.
You're right.
It's actually not as easy as you think.
This is shocking.
Young Seok, what do you think?
Did any of them touch your heart?
- I am shocked. - I bet you are.
- Especially Goryeo Celadon... - Goryeo Celadon.
When she started singing,
I realized we found another gem.
- You got a gut feeling. - Yes.
- Is she very threatening? - The queen is in danger.
- She is in danger. - I see.
But Pricey Pottery also has a pricy voice...
just like his nickname.
If I compare his singing style to driving a car,
he doesn't turn on blinkers...
when he makes a turn.
His voice stings like a bee.
It seems like he's a very stubborn person...
as a musician.
Do you mean he has a very unique singing style?
He is the type of person who thinks his opinion...
is more important than anyone else's.
I think he is a little peculiar.
- Yes, Gu Ra. - Actually,
- our show is about 3 years old. - You're right.
People whom our show wants to have as guests...
are those who earn a lot with their music online.
For them, our show...
is a dream concert.
People around them must have high expectations on them.
Their parents might say they should be on King of Mask Singer...
and mention their parents on television.
They hear things like this very often from the people around them.
I think once he takes off his mask,
we would not know who he is.
But we'll recognize him soon. "He's a famous musician online."
- I think he's that kind of person. - I see what you mean.
I think he's a famous musician online. Meanwhile, Goryeo Celadon...
entered with a celadon in her hands.
She was wiping the celadon.
(Rubbing)
- Did she? - She was good at wiping it.
(Me?)
She was really good at wiping it. It was amazing.
She was wiping it hard.
Just like that.
- You're doing great. - She's good at wiping potteries.
She's very passionate and cheerful.
She doesn't hesitate to show her voice either.
I think she's similar to Bubble Sisters or...
I was thinking that she sounds similar to Bubble Sisters too.
She's like Bubble Sisters or Bigmama.
- I think so too. - I think she's one of those...
Gu Ra just narrowed down the possibilities.
But I'm a little worried.
- It's very hot in here. - It's hot.
Among all masks we had, her mask seems to be the hottest.
(You got it right.)
To make it look like Goryeo Celadon,
it's closed from every side.
Normally, you have some holes on your mask.
- It must be really hot for her. - Because she's a celadon.
- It's a celadon mask. - Exactly.
Actually, we wanted to cover her whole head.
But we didn't do it because it might be too hot for her.
It must be really hot for her.
I see familiar faces today at the panelist seat.
One of them was Mask Man last week.
It's Seo Ji Suk.
Hello. Nice to see you again.
(Nice to see you.)
Although he is an actor, many people said he sounded like a singer.
- It was amazing. - I see.
Three people asked me to sing at their weddings.
- Of course. - It's wedding season these days.
Many people are asking, but I'm rejecting the requests.
Are you? Good job.
(Laughing)
How did it sound to you?
Do you hear the difference between their voices over there?
I'm sure both of them are professional singers.
I've been watching Pricy Pottery,
and he seemed to be tapping to the beat.
He was tapping to the beat...
and moving his hands a lot.
I got the feeling that he might be in his 40s.
You think he's a bit old-fashioned.
He's either my age or a little older than me.
(I see.)
I think he tried to sound young on purpose.
- That sounds possible. - You're right.
Your body doesn't lie. They're your habits.
- As for Goryeo Celadon... - Yes.
- She's very young. - Is she young?
I think she's in her late teens or early 20s.
She's in her late teens or early 20s?
- I think so. - Is she in a girl group?
She seem to be thinking about how old she is.
This was Ji Suk's personal opinion.
That sounds ridiculous.
Once her identity is revealed,
you will all agree with me.
- I see. - Ji Suk's mother must have said...
he should speak a lot. He seems to be saying ridiculous things for her.
"Ji Suk, make sure you appear on television a lot."
So you think he said nonsense to draw attention.
- There's no way she's in her teens. - She's either in her teens or 20s.
Ji Suk, even I don't say such risky comments.
It's just his personal opinion. If he's right, it'd be amazing.
If Ji Suk ever tries to drag me into an investigation or something,
I will never trust him.
(I will never trust him.)
What I focused on was that she...
was singing and dancing to the rhythm...
from the beginning to the end of the music.
She was dancing to the rhythm.
When she danced to the rhythm,
the rhythm burst out of her body.
- Like this? - Exactly.
- She's full of cheerful energy. - She's been like that all the time.
There's only one person in Korea who dances like that.
- One person? Then it must be her. - That why I think...
she's BMK.
- BMK. - I was reminded of her.
- "When the Flowers Bloom" by BMK. - Exactly. She dances like her.
- Yes. - Is she BMK?
BMK?
I think she's a bit taller than BMK.
I think...
Pricy Pottery...
- is a very calm person. - Is he?
As soon as the music started playing,
Goryeo Celadon started to dance to the rhythm.
- She's been dancing the whole time. - Exactly.
But Pricy Pottery was touching his in-ear earphones...
because he had problems with them.
And he didn't even move his toes...
when the music started.
Before he is perfectly ready for his music,
he won't start.
(Do I?)
He seems to be unsure about it.
When he is in trouble,
he can concentrate very well.
(He's an extraordinary person.)
Very good. Now, we're going to see their specialties...
and think more about their identities.
We'll start with Goryeo Celadon.
We asked her to write what specialties are...
and she said she's a master of dog sound.
That's what she wrote.
She says dogs sound different depending on their age.
First, she will imitate the sound of a newborn puppy.
Show us what a newborn puppy sounds like.
(Groaning)
That's it. Thank you.
Now, the puppy is two months old.
The puppy can bark a bit now. Please show us.
(Barking)
(The puppy sound makes us protective.)
How cute you are.
Lastly, she'll imitate the sound of a grown-up dog.
(She imitates a barking dog.)
(Don't you mess with me. I will bite you.)
(How dare you.)
She might be a comedian.
Now, it's Pricy Pottery's turn.
He will imitate Zion.T first.
Zion.T.
(What was that?)
No one should know it
(He's good.)
- He's good. - He must be an idol singer.
He's not a leader of his group, but he's one of the leading members.
Is he an idol singer?
He's definitely an idol singer.
Now, he'll imitate Bobby Kim's voice.
(Dear pine tree)
(It's pretty decent.)
(Please stay healthy)
(You know what I'm saying)
(He humorously finishes it.)
That was good. He's good.
- The members of Twice like it. - Do they?
- They seem to like it. - It's funny, right?
We have three members of Twice today.
Mina, Momo, did anyone cross your mind?
I think Rabbit is...
He's not Rabbit. He's Pottery.
I mean Pottery.
I understand it's confusing, but he's Pottery.
I think he might write songs or lyrics as well.
- So he's a singer-songwriter. - Yes.
So that's what you think.
To me, he looks pretty much like an idol singer.
I see you have different opinions despite you're in the same group.
You think he's an idol singer?
Yes. Compared to Goryeo Celadon,
(Stuttering)
(She's cute.)
- he seemed more nervous. - Did he seem nervous?
Yes, the way he's standing seems like that.
You think Goryeo Celadon was more relaxed and composed,
- Yes, she seemed relaxed. - but Pricey Pottery was...
a bit nervous. Do you think he'd be a good dancer?
Yes, I think so.
Really? All right then.
Momo said he's probably a good dancer.
He will show you some dance moves now.
Let's see how well he can dance.
He prepared a Neolithic native dance.
He's going to show it to you now.
Music, please!
(He starts dancing to powerful music.)
(His moves look wild.)
Yes, it's a primitive man's dance.
That's right. People used action rather than words...
back in that era.
He seems a bit angry. Yes.
(The angry primitive man shows off his strength.)
(The real dance begins now.)
(Powerful)
That's it.
(It was a charismatic dance.)
Momo, do you still think he's an idol singer?
- I think so, - Do you think so?
but maybe he just imitated someone else's dance.
- I'm not sure. - Really?
What do you think, Eun Kwang?
Yes. I am an idol singer, but he can dance better than me.
Really? No, you're being modest.
Eun Kwang is an experienced singer now,
but he doesn't seem to know who Pricey Pottery is.
- He must be a new idol singer. - A new idol singer?
- Yes. - Good. All right.
Now, these are their last specialties.
Goryeo Celadon will express each note through dancing...
like a craftswoman who puts her heart into every stitch.
She'll dance to "Flight of the Bumblebee"...
by Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov.
- Really? - It must be a fast-paced dance.
Music, please!
("Flight of the Bumblebee" played with her body)
Each and every note.
She's expressing each note.
Gosh, she's dancing to the music. That's right.
Good.
(I am the true bumblebee here.)
She expresses each and every note.
You have to be swift.
She's expressing each and every note.
(Restless flight to bloom the flowers)
"Flight of the Bumblebee".
You're doing great.
Keep going.
Come on. Keep going.
(She plucks up her energy.)
(Go!)
(Whizzing)
All right. You can stop now.
(They're fascinated by her dance.)
- That was great. - That must be really hard.
Gosh, she must be tired.
She must be very hot right now.
I think that would greatly help you guess her age.
Good. I will now announce the result of the first match of Round One.
Who will win this match...
and move on to Round Two? Let's find out!
Who is the winner?
(He has the charisma that anyone would want to have.)
(Pricey Pottery melted everyone's hearts.)
(She has a soft voice full of her soul.)
(Goryeo Celadon has elegant sensibility.)
Between Pricey Pottery and Goryeo Celadon,
who will win this match and move on to Round Two?
The winner is...
- The winner is... - The winner is...
(The winner is...)
(His eyes widen.)
(It was a compelling match.)
Who will be the first one to move on to Round Two?
The winner is...
(It's Actually Genuine, Pricey Pottery wins.)
Pricey Pottery won.
(Pricey Pottery moves on to Round Two.)
What?
(Their close match ends with an unexpected result.)
(They're both amazing singers.)
Goryeo Celadon is an excellent singer too.
He defeated Goryeo Celadon.
The final score is 54 to 45.
He won by nine votes.
He won by a narrow margin with a score of 54 to 45.
He seems puzzled right now.
You should get ready for the next round.
Please go back to your waiting room.
Congratulations.
I will sing my heart out...
for Goryeo Celadon. Let's go!
It was a close match. Oh, no. She's crying.
Right. She's such a talented singer.
Who could she be?
We will reveal her identity with a solo performance...
she prepared for Round Two.
Please give her a big round of applause!
(Someone who will make a big stir?)
(Bubble Sisters, Bigmama, and even BMK have been mentioned.)
(She can't hide her soulful voice and great sense of rhythm.)
(She's a cute and witty lady.)
(Who is this extraordinary dancer?)
("Decalcomanie" by Mamamoo)
(Oh, my.)
(She has an exceptionally soulful voice.)
(Why did she lose?)
(She's good enough to be the queen.)
(Her powerful rap hits your ears.)
(Goryeo Celadon's charms are endless.)
(She's so good!)
Now, Goryeo Celadon, please take off your mask...
and reveal your face.
She is...
(What?)
(Who did we lose?)
Reveal your face.
She is...
the soulful singer with a powerful voice,
Lee Michelle.
(Lee Michelle?)
(That's why her voice sounded so soulful!)
(Goryeo Celadon was Lee Michelle.)
(Goodness)
(Oh, no.)
(Michelle freely enjoys the stage.)
(Her powerful voice feels liberating.)
(She shouts out of delight.)
(Her voice is more than powerful.)
("Decalcomanie" by Lee Michelle with a perfect soul, rhythm, and voice.)
Thank you.
("Decalcomanie" by Lee Michelle with a perfect soul, rhythm, and voice.)
(Amazed)
Gosh, she's so cool.
I recognize her voice now.
She shouldn't have lost.
Please say hello to our viewers.
Hello, I'm Lee Michelle. It's good to see you.
Hello.
(She has a powerful voice that fills up the stage.)
(With a voice as soulful as Beyonce,)
(she made it to Top 5 in a singing competition show.)
(As a cheerful girl, she showed great performances in musicals...)
(and won the best new musical actress award.)
(She even won the second place in a rapping competition.)
(She's a genius musician who even conquered the hip-hop scene.)
(There is no genre of music she can't handle.)
(As a gifted musician, she became popular...)
(both in and out of the country.)
(Please keep loving me and my music. Thank you.)
(She has a versatile voice and a wide range of musical styles.)
(Lee Michelle is an excellent, talented singer.)
"I want to sing in a very sweet voice."
That's what you wrote here.
I've been in singing competitions,
so I usually sang...
very powerful songs or songs that have very high notes.
That's why I wanted to show people...
that I'm a singer who's capable...
of singing sweet and delicate songs...
other than such powerful songs.
You challenged yourself to a hip-hop contest show before.
Yes. Thankfully, I was ranked second in the contest.
She won second place.
She's got...
- so many talents. - I specialize in...
both rapping and singing.
I'd like to do both in my career until the day I die.
She must feel so bad,
but I feel really bad right now as well.
I know. You thought...
she was competitive enough to defeat the masked queen.
When I listen to music,
I focus on the sense of rhythm and soul first.
She was perfect in both aspects.
I see she's only 29 years old now.
- I'm 28. - She's 28.
She's only 28 years old.
- That one-year difference is huge. - Yes, it's huge.
It's huge.
Her voice sounds like that of people in their 20s.
But her relaxed manner on stage...
made me feel like she was an experienced singer.
She mentioned that she wanted to do both genres in her life.
But I think she's got the musical ability...
enough to dance, compose, and write lyrics.
I know.
Why did she have to fail?
You must feel bad.
- Yes. - I know.
I'll try doing the native dance next time.
You're capable of that as well, right?
She's good at dancing.
(She's talented indeed.)
She's good.
She showed an unexpected performance...
that was both sweet and powerful today.
Please give her another round...
- of applause. - Thank you.
(We'll look forward to seeing your musical activity in the future.)
Here's what's unbelievable.
I have precognitive dreams sometimes,
and those dreams do come true often.
I fell asleep while worrying about my appearance in this program.
In the dream, I asked the writer when the shooting would end.
She answered that it'd end at 6pm that day.
Now, I've failed to move on to Round Two...
and finished it before 6pm.
(She's leaving early unlike her intention.)
Why do these unlucky dreams always come true?
Everyone, you'll listen to my music, right?
You'll come to my concerts, right?
I'm counting on you. See you!
As the result of Round One,
It's Actually Genuine, Pricey Pottery,
won against Lee Michelle and advanced to Round Two.
It's the second match of Round One.
She's confident in singing.
Strike the Closing Bell,
Master Carillon.
I'll end the masked queen's winning streak.
(They can sense the traditional music from his presence.)
Why was he named "master"?
He seems to be a bit aged.
He's tall.
Against him...
is the singer with piercing charms.
Pipes from Head to Toe,
Organ Lady.
(Pipes from Head to Toe, Organ Lady)
Look forward to seeing my grand performance.
(It feels like a huge cathedral.)
Organ Lady.
(Her mask feels antique.)
She's extremely slim.
(It's between the two representative instruments from the East and West.)
(Whose voice will melt the audience's hearts?)
(Will it be the heart-moving sound of the bell?)
(Or will it be the grand sound of the organ?)
("Dream" by Suzy and Baek Hyun)
(They can smell the spring breeze from the prelude.)
(His unique nasal sound strikes the audience's ears.)
(Awesome)
(His vibrating voice spreads like the sound of a bell,)
(and his emotion is delivered twice better.)
(On the other hand, Organ Lady's voice is clear and innocent.)
(It's like her clean voice is tickling their entire bodies.)
(She sings each note clearly one by one.)
(Their sweet harmony is like strawberries on cream cake.)
(They're so cute.)
(I'm voting for number two.)
Their voices are like flowers.
(Their harmony is full of the scent of acacia.)
(It makes them want to fall into a sweet dream.)
(He delivers the emotions through his delicate voice vibration.)
(Her voice is full of cute charms.)
(The studio is filled with ear-candy sounds.)
(She's cute.)
(Their voice colors match each other like a bride and a groom.)
(It's sweet and mellow.)
(The song is like a dream that's cozy and warm in the clouds)
(The dream is you.)
(Their sweet melody makes them smile.)
(Their performance has brought spring into the studio.)
(It's the harmony of the East and the West.)
(Bravo)
Let's go for the next wedding ceremony.
(Let's go for the next wedding ceremony.)
The second match of Round One just ended.
- Ho Young. - I loved it.
- Did you? - Yes.
It felt like I was dreaming.
The two singers must be loved by people.
In case of Master Carillon,
he must be loved by a king.
His voice is the type to be loved by a king.
On the other hand, Organ Lady...
You know, those pipe organs...
are usually placed in cathedrals.
So her voice is the type to be loved...
by pastors and nuns.
It was so sweet.
I'm sure she has caught...
most of the male audience's hearts.
What's your opinion, Hyun Chul?
I'll start with Master Carillon.
I came to wonder...
which singer had such a vibrating voice other than Im Byeong Su.
I kept wondering about it.
- He's definitely a singer. - Is he?
However, the song...
wasn't enough for him to show off his singing abilities.
- I see. - I mean,
he must've been considerate...
and chosen the song that was more favorable for Organ Lady.
On the other hand,
I think she's a famous actress.
- She isn't just an actress? - She isn't.
She isn't just an actress.
- She must be very famous. - Is she a famous actress?
- Yes. - Why?
Why do you think so?
(There's no way to explain it.)
Did you just beat around the bush?
She's got to be a famous actress...
- with this voice? - I mean, I like her voice.
She must be very famous.
She must be a very famous actress.
- Such a voice... - Yes, Kai?
is like the grass on a hill...
in this kind of spring weather.
She's sprinkled dandelion seeds in my heart.
Her voice holds the delicate scent.
Her voice is like that.
Her voice seems to be...
not as impressive right now,
but if you're asked to think about which voice was most memorable...
after the shooting, you'll say it's her voice.
She reminds me of someone.
- Really? - Can you guess someone?
Is she an actress?
She debuted through a magazine.
- She was the cover model of it? - Yes.
Shall I tell you the initials?
- The initials. - Go ahead.
- L. - L.
- Y. - LY.
- S. - LYS?
LYS? Who would that be?
Lee Yeon Su.
- Lee... - Yeon Su.
- Lee Yeon Su? - No.
- Yes. - That's not her.
- Lee Yeon Su? - That's not right.
She came out on "Flaming Youth".
- Yes, she came out on that show. - It's not right.
- I see. - No, no, no.
- Hey, I'm talking right now. - No, no.
Say what you want to say after I'm done. I think it's her.
It's not right.
(Gu Ra's very firm about his disagreement today.)
I'm sorry,
but is it only me who's hearing this?
(Am I hearing things?)
Let me tell you about Yeon Su.
She and I are of the same age.
- She's in your age. - We're of the same age.
She's a bit shorter than Organ Lady.
She is shorter than her,
and her skin is darker than hers.
She can't be Lee Yeon Su.
What did you think of Master Carillon's performance, Kai?
When Master Carillon started to sing,
I thought he was Little Cho Yong Pil.
- "Little Cho Yong Pil"? - Yes.
He added the emotions of Zion. T...
to the nasal sound Cho Yong Pil has...
and created his own voice.
His unique voice and vibrato were very impressive.
Ji Suk, you look quite serious.
I think Organ Lady and I...
have met in a drama before.
- Do you think so? - Goodness.
- Is that right? - Then you may know who she is.
- I think we've acted together. - You think...
- you've acted together. - Who is it?
What was the drama?
- It was a weekend drama. - A weekend drama.
What did you play then?
- I played a chef. - A chef. What about her?
(She looks restless.)
- I think she was my lover. - She was?
Then you must have worked with her for quite a long.
- Is she married? - No, she isn't.
You think she is not married.
(Smiling)
- I think she is probably married. - Pardon?
- I think she's married. - Pardon?
Let's find another woman now.
I think he was just testing to see if you really knew her or not.
Judging from the reaction he showed when you said...
she's not married, I think she is actually married.
- Do you think so? - Yes. I'm sure she is married.
Let's find another woman, okay?
(Being on King of Mask Singer for 3 years enables him to notice that.)
After they show their specialties as hints,
I'd like to listen to more of your opinions.
First, Master Carillon will do a voice imitation.
Please let us hear Kim Jong Kook's voice.
(There is a man who loves you so much)
That was it.
Now, it's KCM.
(A voice imitation of KCM)
(Sobbing)
(What is that?)
That was KCM's voice.
Now, it's Organ Lady's turn.
She will do a voice imitation of a voice actress.
It's the narration of "Screening Humanity".
("Screening Humanity", We Like Gu Ra)
No one laughed at Gu Ra's joke...
because his vocal cords were swollen.
It looks like he doesn't want to admit it.
(It looks like he doesn't want to admit it.)
He just kept squeezing out his voice on and on.
But he just makes a squeaky voice.
That was it.
(She narrated as well as anchorwoman Lee Keum Hee.)
Okay. You did a good job.
She has a good voice.
It's so hard to guess.
Can't you notice anything, Ji Suk?
He can't notice anything at all. Don't bother him.
Just let us know when they started to work together.
Is it certain that she worked with me?
Because I don't know what dramas you were on so far...
She waved her hand to say hello to you.
(Frustrated)
I think you should give us a hint.
- Should I? - We don't have a clue.
Other than Ji Suk, among the celebrity panelists,
Kai may have seen her too.
A musical actress?
Did she major in vocal music?
I will just tell you that.
I'm afraid I can't give you more.
Can she give a hint herself?
- Herself? - Yes.
She may reveal too much.
I worked for a long time with someone among the panelists.
There is? All right. This is it.
There is such a person among the 12 people.
- You don't have a clue at all. - Gosh.
Now, I'll reveal the result of the second match of Round One.
Which voice were the panelists more attracted to?
It will be announced now.
(Master Carillon with a dreamy, soft voice)
(Organ Lady with a fresh and pure voice)
(Their beautiful voices filled the stage like music instruments.)
(It's difficult to choose only one since it was such a lovely harmony.)
Who is the winner of this match...
who will sing in Round Two once again?
The winner is...
(The winner is...)
The winner is...
(Which masked singer will sing in Round Two?)
The result of the competition between the two instruments is...
(Strike the Closing Bell, Master Carillon wins.)
Master Carillon wins.
(He struck the bell of victory.)
(They admit that he is good.)
(Congratulations)
I voted for Organ Lady.
It was 71 to 28.
He won by a large margin. Many people voted for him.
Master Carillon, please go back to your waiting room.
Please give him a big hand.
He moves to Round Two.
In Round Two, I'll show you everything I have.
Please look forward to it.
You'll now watch Organ Lady's solo performance...
where she will reveal her face.
Please give her a round of applause.
(They were captivated by her sweet voice.)
(Is she a very famous actress?)
(Did she even act with Ji Suk in a drama?)
(She worked for a long time with someone among the panelists.)
(Her specialty is also confusing.)
(A familiar piano tune is played.)
(Just the intro makes them happy.)
("Always Think of You" by Lee Sun Hee)
(The selection of the song makes people more anticipating.)
(Who is she to have selected this song?)
(I'll find out who she is!)
(She starts with her tender voice.)
(Listening carefully)
(Amazed)
(It's a fresh and innocent voice.)
She does sound like a young girl.
(This is so good.)
I like this so much.
(Her clear voice portrays a yearning heart.)
(People gradually get absorbed in her performance.)
(Singing along)
Now, Organ Lady,
take off your mask, and reveal your face, please.
(It's her!)
What is it?
They get surprised a lot.
I can't wait to see her.
Reveal your face, please.
She is...
She's an actress with 23 years of experience and graceful charms.
She's Lee Hyun Kyung.
(It was Lee Hyun Kyung.)
(Exclaiming)
(They didn't expect it would be her.)
(Astonished)
(Her unexpected appearance shocked everyone.)
(Surprised)
(They can notice her clear and beautiful voice now.)
(She has been on many dramas so far.)
(She is dazzling on the stage too.)
(She tries her best in every note.)
(Smiling broadly)
(She is good.)
(The song portrays her beautiful challenge.)
(It's good to see you.)
(Amazed)
Gosh, Hyun Kyung.
I can't believe it.
Please say hello to our viewers.
Hello.
I'm from the 23rd class of MBC.
I'm Lee Hyun Kyung, who's been an actress for 23 years.
(She is a veteran actress who debuted 23 years ago.)
(She played many roles in many period dramas.)
(She can deliver detailed emotions.)
(She draws attention and shows her charisma in dramas.)
(She performs on stage plays too now.)
(She even moved on to films with her great acting skills.)
(She met her love through music, which is something she enjoys.)
(She married Min Young Ki, her mentor and a musical actor.)
(She's an actress with 23 years of experience, Lee Hyun Kyung.)
Lee Hyun Kyung's husband is the musical actor, Min Young Ki.
He appeared in our show...
and made it to Round Three.
(With his explosive voice and singing skills,)
(Min Young Ki made his way to Round 3.)
And her sister is Lee Hyun Young.
She was a member of a girl group.
Her husband is the actor, Kang Sung Jin.
That's right.
It seems like the whole family likes to sing.
Did you see Kang Sung Jin in our show?
In fact, I'm not so greedy about other things.
- But I'm greedy about singing. - You are?
Yes. The show crew didn't call me to be on this show first.
I asked them to cast me first.
"Please let me be in your show."
Even Sung Jin joined the show. Why can't I?
Sung Jin sang pretty well.
Is he better than me?
I didn't mean it.
(Hyun Young, I guess you forgot it already.)
(I'm pretty good at singing.)
Before I got married with my husband,
I sang alone for two hours in a karaoke room.
- And your husband listened to it? - He was just there.
He fell asleep while I sang.
You like to sing so much.
But I realized it wasn't easy to sing on the stage.
I do like to sing,
but it's a lot harder to touch people's hearts with my song.
It was totally different.
Actually, I've learned to sing...
for the past four months.
- To join our show? - Yes.
- You did it for four months? - Yes.
To be honest, I tried to practice for about six months.
- You needed two more months. - Right.
I'm sorry you didn't get to practice enough.
But for the past four months,
you must've felt very excited.
I'm married, and I'm a mother. I'm very happy with my life.
But I have a passion...
boiling up inside me.
So I thought about what I like.
And I realized I wanted to learn to sing.
I couldn't show it all,
but I prepared a lot of specialties for today.
Even when I practiced those specialties,
I felt very happy.
You were excited to do all these things.
You said you worked with one of them. Who is it?
I worked with Lee Yoon Seok for years.
Do you know the TV show, "Theme Game" of MBC?
- Lee Yoon Seok was there. - It was Lee Yoon Seok.
Yoon Seok, you should've recognized her.
I didn't even imagine it was me.
She's a beautiful woman with a pretty voice.
I didn't think I would've done something with a woman like her.
I see.
In "Theme Game", she acted very well,
and she was very kind.
A lot of comedians...
had a crush on her.
Actually, Hyun Chul...
and myself...
have voted for her.
- You did? - Yes.
Her voice...
was so beautiful. So I voted for her.
- I see. - Thank you.
Once your sister appears on our show,
- we'll meet your whole family. - Right.
Her family really love to sing.
With King of Mask Singer, Hyun Kyung relieve the tedium...
of everyday life and regain her passion.
Please give her a big hand again.
(We love and support Lee Hyun Kyung, the cheerful actress.)
(We look forward to your future endeavors.)
Hyun Kyung, I'm sorry.
- I didn't know you'd be here. - I understand.
- I was surprised to see you. - Of course.
I had a lot of people to thank while practicing my performance.
I'd like to thank my partner who sang with me in Round One.
I want to say thank you.
Ha Ram, when I practiced singing,
you memorized all of the songs and sang along with me.
It meant a lot to me.
Thank you so much.
I want you to support me when you watch me on TV.
Organ Lady is me, Actress Lee Hyun Kyung.
I'll see you more often...
in many dramas in the future.
The third match of Round One.
Once a year,
her festival is held.
I Won't Fall Off,
Cherry Blossom Girl.
(I Won't Fall Off, Cherry Blossom Girl)
As the spring wind blows
Would you fall for Cherry Blossom Girl's charm?
(Dazzling)
Cherry blossom is my favorite flower.
- She's pretty. - My gosh.
- She looks very young. - Right.
Her opponent...
is like a cute whisper wafted in on the spring wind.
I'll Blow It Off,
Dandelion Girl.
(I'll Blow It Off, Dandelion Girl)
I'll blow off the Queen of Mask Singer.
They are both quite tall.
Are they models?
I don't think they're singers.
But they seem to be good at singing.
(It's a match between two spring flowers.)
(They'll give off their fresh charm on a drowsy spring day.)
(What song will they sing and make the audience...)
(feel like they are receiving a flower bouquet?)
("200 Percent" by AKMU)
(It sounds refreshing and lively from the beginning.)
(Cherry Blossom Girl can't hide her lovely voice even when she raps.)
(Dandelion Girl shows off her amazing rapping in a husky voice.)
(Unlike her rapping,)
(Cherry Blossom Girl's voice sounds clear.)
(They love her.)
(They make perfect harmony like twin sisters.)
(Their magical voices make everyone hum along.)
(Two beautiful women confessed their love by 200 percent.)
(It's spring.)
That was very unique.
I don't know who they are.
I have no idea.
The third match...
of Round One is just over.
- Seong Ju. - Yes?
I need to tell you something.
This is quite new.
- What? - I've been here for three years.
There should be a difference in size or something between them.
But they just look similar.
Even their voice tones are similar.
It reminds me of something.
There was Double-light Brothers.
We can't tell who is Jo Chun and who is Kim Yoo Haeng.
We can't distinguish them from a distance.
We don't know who's who.
We can't distinguish them at all.
So I give up.
Now, I feel like...
a baby bird waiting for a mother bird...
to feed it.
I can only look at Twice for now.
I can't guess anything about them. That's what is happening.
You think Twice...
- can help you with that. - I think Twice...
should be Sherlock Holmes in this round.
Chae Young, what do you think?
I don't think Cherry Blossom Girl...
is a singer. I guess she has another job.
She's not a singer.
She looks somewhat experienced when she makes gestures.
Twice is doing a good job.
She's not a singer, but she looks experienced.
About Dandelion Girl.
I think she...
is an idol singer of our age.
I have two people in my mind,
- and they are both tall. - I see.
But I'm not sure which of them she is.
- You're thinking about two people. - Yes.
Momo, do you agree with her?
There's one person I can think of.
The person I am thinking...
is in charge of rapping in the team.
- Is she a rapper? - Yes.
Mina, what did you think?
When Dandelion Girl...
showed us this move as she sang, she looked like an idol.
- Do you mean this? - Yes.
- Right. A lot of idols do this. - Also,
she bent her knees...
when she was greeting us.
- Like this? - Yes.
So this is how idols bow.
Our skirts are often too short.
So we usually bow like this.
Did she not do that?
Cherry Blossom Girl...
has a really pretty shoulder line.
I think she might be an athlete.
Because she's got pretty shoulders, she might be an athlete.
Maybe not an athlete, but she might play some sports.
Because she's Japanese,
- she might struggle to explain. - Well, that's...
- what I thought. - You thought she exercises a lot.
The moment...
Cherry Blossom Girl came out,
I was certain...
that she used to be an athlete.
- Really? - she used to be an athlete.
Yes. It's because she's got...
the ankles of a great athlete.
(Laughing)
Can you see that?
I think she's got the ankles of a national athlete.
People with thin ankles...
are good at short-distance events.
- It would be amazing... - Who is it?
- if it's her. - Who is it?
Do you have someone in mind?
Among athletes?
Ms. Lee Sang Hwa.
- No. - Lee Sang Hwa?
- It's not her. - Lee Sang Hwa?
- Is she Lee Sang Hwa? - She's not.
- Is she not Lee Sang Hwa? - She's not.
- I got it. - She was on variety shows.
- I got it. - Yoon Seok.
- Who is it? - Jeong Da Rae, the swimmer.
The swimmer, Jeong Da Rae.
- No. - She's a swimmer.
Her shoulders...
- Her shoulders are wider. - A little wider.
Then is she an athlete?
- I think she might be a model. - I think...
she is a singer.
Why would you ruin everything?
- Is she a singer? - I think she's a singer.
- Is she a singer? - She is.
- She's very good. - She sang very well.
I agree.
I said she might be Da Rae,
but she sings like a singer.
Especially when she sang the high notes,
she showed us that she knows how to control her voice.
And she's got a sense of rhythm.
She's really talented.
She's great in terms of techniques.
Then she must be a singer.
She is a singer.
But everyone thinks she is an athlete.
Did you get swayed by the public sentiment...
and say that she might be Jung Da Rae?
He's been here for two years, and he's never been louder.
- Right? - "I know! I know!"
- "I know!" - Right.
- That's me. - So she' got...
the techniques of a singer.
She's clearly a singer.
- She's clearly a singer. - Yes. In terms of her talent.
- So she's a singer. - Yes.
Dandelion Girl.
In terms of her voice,
she sounds like...
she's using a voice filter.
It doesn't sound like her real voice.
It sounds like it's been filtered once.
And it's really charming.
There's no way we can guess her identity with just that.
(He's right.)
All of us are going to give up on making guesses.
Don't do that.
- That's why... - I will help you.
you need to give us some information.
Okay.
You see,
we are like the starved people.
"Starved people"?
- We have nothing to work with. - Right now...
We should have something to gnaw on...
to be able to do anything.
All right then. If you say so,
let's watch their specialties...
and get more hints.
Cherry Blossom Girl is up first.
She's going to impersonate people.
She'll impersonate three people.
She's going to reenact a scene from the sitcom...
"Unstoppable High Kick".
Please show us.
It's delicious.
Did you go grocery shopping?
No, Yeong Gi's mother picked potato sweets from the farm.
It's "sweet potatoes".
Right. Sweetatoes.
"Sweetatoes"? It's "sweet potatoes".
Right. Sweet potato! Sweet potato! Sweet potato!
Is that good enough?
What's wrong with you?
That's it.
(She's funny.)
All right.
You got to hear her voice a lot.
Is she an actress who used to be a model?
- How... - She reenacted a scene.
She seems to be good at acting too.
Some of you suspected...
that Dandelion Girl...
might be a rapper.
She's going to impersonate...
rapping Zhu Bajie.
Please show us.
Zhu Bajie is rapping
My name is Zhu Bajie
My specialty is smiling big
That's it.
That was something new.
They were both something new.
Even their specialties were equally good.
- She was rapping Zhu Bajie. - She was Zhu Bajie.
Twice, do you think...
she's really that rapper?
She might be.
- She might not be. - Right.
Her voice is very unique,
so she might be that person.
Then let's see their dance.
Cherry Blossom Girl will go first.
She named the dance as the Spinning Top Dance.
Let's see what her Spinning Top Dance is.
Music, please.
(It sounds very familiar.)
(Like a coiling snake, she warms up her body.)
When you see her dance,
you will get a better idea of who she is.
She's very flexible.
This music sounds familiar.
All right.
(Spin away!)
(I am the spinning top, and the spinning top is me.)
This is the Spinning Top Dance.
She must be very dizzy.
I wonder if she's okay.
(She ends up spinning off course.)
(After going through the pile-up, she returns.)
Stop. Stop.
That's it.
Let's stop here. That was enough.
(It was a strange and mysterious specialty.)
That's it.
At least she isn't tottering.
She span her body and showed us her Spinning Top Dance.
Wait.
It's right here.
Yes. Right there.
You can look at it.
My goodness. She can't manage to wear them.
(After spinning for 15 seconds, she fights the shoes for a minute.)
I will help you.
From my understanding,
Mina majored in ballet. Isn't that right?
- I did. - You do a lot of turns in ballet.
- Right. - Yes.
When you major in ballet, can't you do this dance...
without tottering?
It means you should do it.
Stop...
beating around the bush.
- He's asking you to do it. - Can we see it?
- We will play the same music. - Okay.
- I will give it a try. - Please give her a big hand.
Mina will...
(They are very excited.)
Mina, the former ballerina, will do the Spinning Top Dance.
Music, please.
(My goodness.)
Do the wave.
She's good indeed.
Her move is different.
She's slowly preparing herself.
She begins it gently.
(Her colleague bursts into laughter.)
It's all about balancing. You need to balance.
Get ready, and start.
(Let's spin.)
She's different. She's different.
She is different.
(It's as if spring has come.)
(This is it.)
(She's the real Cherry Blossom Girl.)
- She's different. - Stop it.
- Please give it up for her. - Stop it now.
(He gives her a standing ovation.)
She's good.
- She's a bit... - She's different.
She's different indeed.
- I am sorry to say this. - Yes.
But Mina learned to do the turn.
She never learned it.
We didn't know that.
After Mina did it,
it became certain that she didn't major in ballet.
Dandelion Girl's turn is next.
She's going to show us the dance that perfectly matches her mask.
It's called Dandelion Spore Spreading Dance.
Let's see what kind of a dance it is. Music, please.
(Dandelion Spore Spreading Dance)
Watch carefully.
See if she's an idol or not.
If she is an idol, which group is she from?
(She gathers the spring energy...)
(and spreads the spores.)
(They ride the spring breeze and enter our heart.)
(Jumping lightly)
(Moving lightly)
(This s is not fast-forwarded.)
(Go away, cold weather!)
(She succeeds to bring spring to us.)
That's it.
(It's spring.)
She's young.
She danced to WJSN's song.
Let's see if she's an idol or not.
- Eun Kwang nodded. - Yes.
After looking at her dance, I think she is an idol.
- Do you think she is? - Yes.
- She's someone I know. - Okay.
I think we once had a meal together.
Are you that close?
Didn't we?
"Didn't we?"
- If... - Why would you say that?
If she is the person Eun Kwang is guessing,
all members of that group have been here on this show.
On King of Mask Singer.
- Mamamoo? - Really?
Yes. She's the last one.
Is that it?
I don't know if Twice agrees with you.
- Twice disagrees. - I haven't talked to them.
- Twice disagrees. - They disagree, don't they?
Do you still think they're from two teams?
One team starts with W.
- What about the other team? - It starts with P.
One team starts with W, and another starts with P.
- What do you say, Eun Kwang? - E.
E. If she's an idol,
she's from 1 of the 3 teams, which start with W, P, or E.
All right. Now,
I will announce the result of the third match of Round One.
You said they were too similar,
and their scores are very close too.
It was difficult. It was difficult.
What's the vote difference between two masked singers?
Three votes.
Three votes. Their scores are three votes apart.
We will reveal the result now.
Who made it to Round Two...
by getting three more votes?
(Their refreshing voices came with spring.)
(Their sweet harmony blossomed a sweet song.)
(Dandelion Girl had an innocent voice...)
(which gently shook our heart.)
(Cherry Blossom Girl had...)
(a voice as bright as spring.)
Between Cherry Blossom Girl and Dandelion Girl,
who will be the winner?
The winner is...
- The winner is... - The winner is...
Who won three more votes?
(The result is unpredictable.)
(Which flower will blossom again...)
(to threaten the queen?)
- The winner is... - The winner is...
(Cherry Blossom Girl is the winner.)
Cherry Blossom Girl is the winner.
(Cherry Blossoms will never fall.)
(The cherry blossom festival will continue for another week.)
(It was a very close match.)
I feel bad for Dandelion Girl.
Cherry Blossom Girl beat Dandelion Girl by three votes.
The result is 51 to 48. 51 to 48.
She beat her opponent by three votes and moves on to Round Two.
You may now go to the waiting room. Please give her a round of applause.
Cherry Blossom Girl moves on to Round Two.
You'll be surprised in Round Two.
Go Cherry Blossom Girl!
Many people seem to think she's an idol singer.
Let's see if she's really an idol singer.
We'll figure it out through her solo performance.
Please give her a round of applause.
(Her identity will be revealed soon.)
(Her voice is elegant like there's a filter on her voice.)
(Idols can recognize idols.)
This gesture?
(Is she a rapper in her group?)
(Many seem to agree that she's an idol singer.)
(Is she from 1 of the 3 teams, which start with W, P, or E?)
(Her shocking specialty makes it hard to guess who she is.)
(She has young joints.)
(Is she really an idol singer?)
("Umbrella" by Epik High feat. Youn Ha)
(Her calm and clear voice echoes.)
(Surprised)
(It's nice.)
(I love her voice.)
(Her voice is charming in a different way than when she sings.)
(Her voice is moist like raindrops.)
(She's reminded of his place in her umbrella.)
(After her rhythmical rap,)
(she sings with a husky and sweet voice.)
Now, Dandelion Girl.
Take off your mask and show us your face.
Show us your face.
She is...
They sound excited.
(Dandelion Girl stole men's hearts. Who is she?)
Why? Why do they sound so happy?
Take off you mask, and show us your face.
She is...
She's the leader of the girl group, Pristin, Na Young.
(She was indeed an idol singer.)
(Didn't you say she is Na Young?)
(We guessed her identity correctly.)
(Nice to meet you.)
(As the gorgeous girl, Na Young shows up,)
(the audience can't keep their mouth closed.)
(I can't believe it was Na Young.)
(She's so pretty.)
(Na Young's real voice has been hidden behind her title, rapper.)
(She's not only good at rapping, but she's also good at singing.)
(She's beautiful.)
(She's on the stage alone without her fellow members.)
(Although she's nervous, she keeps her eyes closed and sings.)
(Na Young performed "Umbrella" solely with her voice.)
(Her voice is so sweet.)
She's gorgeous.
- How did they know it? - They know it.
You're amazing. How did you know it?
(Happy)
Now Dandelion Girl's identity is revealed.
Could you please introduce yourself to the viewers?
Hello. My name is Na Young and I'm a member of Pristin.
(Her rap and dance caught our attention on a TV audition.)
(She joined a debuting group as a leader.)
(Her group swept the awards from various programs.)
(Her group was surely one of the most popular ones in Korea.)
(Then she debuted as the leader of Pristin.)
(Her talent and skills dragged in many fans.)
(She's become a rising star in the music business.)
(She never gets old and her face expression never changes.)
(But she's actually a cute person.)
(Na Young is full of surprises and charms.)
The panelists said...
she's either from Group W or P.
When you said P, did you mean Pristin?
Yes, I knew it'd be her.
When I first heard her voice while she started rapping,
I recognized her because she has a unique voice.
I see.
Eun Kwang, is she the person you ate with?
Well, we ate together in my dream a few days ago.
(Laughing)
- I'm a big fan of her. - He got it right.
Eun Kwang guessed her correctly.
So the person whom you met in reality is someone else.
- You ate with her in your dreams. - Yes.
As far as I know, Na Young doesn't...
make a lot of face expressions.
- So her nickname is Stone Na Young. - That's right.
Because she's as cold as stone.
Are you doing that on purpose or is that how you are?
I normally don't express my feelings a lot.
But when I was on "Produce 101", I was so nervous.
I think that's why I looked like that.
Today, you were making a lot of funny gestures.
To show the viewers that you do make various face expressions,
could you make different face expressions...
that you haven't shown us before?
- All right. - Show us your emotions.
King of Mask Singer is awesome! Awesome! Awesome!
Awesome! Awesome! Awesome!
Awesome!
(All her face expressions look the same.)
They all look the same.
She's so cute.
- Were they any different? - Yes, they were all different.
Feel free to use any of them.
Capture the video, and use them for various purposes.
What I liked the most about Na Young's performance today...
was that she delivered the lyrics very well.
Even though it was a fast rap, I could hear every word...
very clearly.
If she shows more...
of her musical talent...
and passion,
I think she will be a more successful singer.
Today, through King of Mask Singer,
she broke down her reputation for being a cold person.
She showed us a bright and cheerful performance.
Please give her a round of applause.
(Please show us more of your charms.)
She's a person full of potential.
Gosh, I feel so relieved.
I have been training for about five years.
Since I have been training for a long time,
I thought this was a great opportunity to show you my voice.
That's why I wanted to be on this show.
I feel a little more confident about myself thanks to this show.
I want to work hard and be a singer who touches the public's heart.
I'll Blow It Off, Dandelion Girl...
was me, Na Young of Pristin.
King of Mask Singer is awesome, awesome, awesome.
I Won't Fall Off, Cherry Blossom Girl...
beat Na Young and moves on to Round Two.
This is the final match of Round One.
Open Dongdaemun. Open Namdaemun.
Namdaemun is open.
Gatekeeper greets you, Gatekeeper.
(Gatekeeper greets you, Gatekeeper)
Open the door of the queen's room.
(He has a strong build.)
(He looks sturdy.)
He seems like a middle-aged man.
- That's the face of Mario. - Right?
Let's meet his opponent.
"You trust me, right?"
I Can Protect You Better Than Anyone,
Royal Guard!
(I Can Protect You Better Than Anyone, Royal Guard)
Queen of Mask Singer, I won't let you pass through.
(He makes a manly entrance.)
(Oh, my. He's gorgeous.)
The escorts are wearing masks of Kim Kyung Ho and Chung Kyung Ho.
(He's escorted by them.)
Royal Guard looks brave.
(It's their fate to protect something valuable.)
(Who will first gain the audience's trust...)
(and protect the audience with music...)
(from the noises that fill the world?)
("If You" by Big Bang)
It's Big Bang's song.
(The two guards will compete against each other...)
(by singing "If You" by Big Bang.)
(My goodness.)
(Royal Guard has a sweet voice.)
I love it very much.
(Gatekeeper sings with a unique, husky voice.)
(He has a charming voice!)
(His soft voice makes his singing sound more sorrowful.)
(His singing softly touches your heart.)
(The reliable guards protect your feelings.)
(Who are they?)
(They're sad for not being able to protect...)
(their breaking hearts after a regretful breakup.)
(Royal Guard's mellow voice overlaps on Gatekeeper's delicate voice.)
(Their shield of emotions build up layer by layer.)
(They sang "If You" and made a perfect emotional shield.)
(Everyone could entrust them with their ears.)
This song is difficult to sing.
Who do you think Gatekeeper is?
- I think he's a singer. - Gatekeeper?
I'm not sure.
The last performance of Round One is now over.
Hyun Chul, what did you think about their performance?
Royal Guard is wearing a mask that has...
a man's face.
Usually, only good singers...
get masks like that.
Really? I see.
I guess you've been a panelist long enough to notice that.
His ability to express emotions and sing in perfect tune and rhythm...
tells me that he will probably make it to Final Match.
- The problem... - What's the problem?
- is Gatekeeper. - Gatekeeper?
What kind of problem was there?
- His voice sounded hoarse. - "Hoarse"?
I wonder if his voice went hoarse while practicing for this stage...
or it always sounds husky. Could you ask him that?
My entire life has gone hoarse.
(What?)
That was a witty answer.
His whole life has gone hoarse.
I think...
he's a singer...
Maybe a singer...
- Please make it clear. - Be confident.
You're an expert, so your opinion...
is very important to us.
- I'm sure he's a singer. - A singer?
- Yes. - Kai, do you agree with him?
While I was listening to their song,
I could smell the scent of coffee.
- The scent of coffee? - Yes.
Gatekeeper...
felt like espresso to me.
I could feel the hardships and sufferings...
he has gone through from his voice,
so I wouldn't say it simply sounds bitter.
It felt like bitter espresso.
Royal Guard...
felt like Vietnamese coffee...
- with condensed milk at the bottom. - That's right.
That...
made his low-pitched voice sound so sweet,
and his high-pitched voice feels bitter.
I think...
the perfect harmony of his bittersweet voice is his charm.
Gatekeeper is really amazing.
I've heard many kinds of voices such as head voice,
chest voice, and nasal voice.
But he uses a shoulder voice.
- Shoulder voice? - Yes, shoulder.
He's the first one to use a shoulder voice.
He kept raising his shoulders when he sang,
and his voice came from them.
(He squeezed out his voice from his shoulders.)
He must have invented the shoulder voice.
From the way he reacts,
I think he's at least as old as Lee Yong Sik.
- At least as old as Lee Yong Sik? - Yes.
And he can be as old as Kim Do Hyang.
Yoon Seok, you believe he's quite old.
Yes, I do. He shouldn't be a gatekeeper.
- He's old enough to be a governor. - A governor?
- I see. - He's not young.
I think he's older than me too,
but he sang "If You" by Big Bang.
That kind of gestures show...
- that he's actually old. - It's a bit old-fashioned.
Yes. Something like that.
That's so old-fashioned.
Seriously.
He lowers his microphone when he sings.
It proves that he's a singer.
I don't think winning or losing matters to him.
He's probably here...
to sing a young idol group's song and find satisfaction from it.
I believe Royal Guard agreed to sing this song out of consideration.
Actually, Royal Guard might have chosen the song.
Well, there is a possibility for everything in this world.
That's surely possible, but I doubt it.
Oh, I got information from the staff.
- What is it? - "If You" by Big Bang...
was chosen by Big Bang.
Gatekeeper suggested that they should sing this song,
- and Royal Guard agreed. - I see.
But that doesn't help us guess who they are.
Like I said,
he has no problem singing trendy songs.
I'm sure he's an open-minded person who is fine with singing...
songs from the new generation, not from his own.
I actually don't understand...
why people think Gatekeeper is someone not so young.
Right.
His posture and build...
(He makes a heart with his hands.)
(It looks more like a bun.)
- He's making a heart. - Nobody makes it that way now.
He's making a heart.
(Trembling)
(I can make it this way too.)
(Here you go.)
Gosh. Now, I think...
- he may be old. - Yes.
Now, they will show you their specialties to help you guess.
Let's start with Royal Guard.
He will sing a love song...
while making hearts in every possible way.
Please sing us the love song.
You see, I have
Something to say
(It makes them fall in love.)
I like you
This much, this much
This much
(It's a new world for him.)
I like you
(It's full of cuteness.)
All right.
Here's what I became sure about.
He made a heart...
this way. Like this.
Like this.
But Gatekeeper made a heart...
this way.
This is very old-fashioned.
I could tell they're from different generations.
- They're different generations? - I thought he was young...
for a second, but he made it obvious.
- Well... - Look at...
how he placed his mic.
He's getting ready for his specialty.
In the past,
when we used to pack lunchboxes,
some guys carried their spoons in here like this.
They finished their food early and walked around with their spoons...
to take away others' food.
I mean, people don't usually put things there.
He must've gone to school in 1970s.
They didn't do it even around that time.
He's older than that.
He's from a generation even earlier than that.
It was his mistake to put the mic there.
He got it out of his belt now.
- No, just leave it that way. - It's not necessary.
Just do as you please.
- It's not important. - It's okay.
Gatekeeper has prepared some magic tricks.
- Magic. - That's right.
I wonder what kind of magic tricks they are.
I've prepared a levitation...
and an object disappearance.
"An object disappearance"?
- Let's start from that one. - Those from that generation...
like to define things in short.
- "An object disappearance". - He summarized it in a few words...
out of obsession.
- He just had to say... - "Levitation".
that he'd make an object disappear, but he had to say it that way.
All right.
What's that?
Will he make that disappear? Let's look closely.
The object disappearance magic trick.
The object...
(He moved it to his left hand.)
What? It's gone.
(It's gone.)
It's gone.
Gosh, how could he do that?
(It's back from nowhere.)
(Unbelievable)
(They saw it with their own eyes, but it's still hard to believe.)
Will it disappear again?
Again.
It's in his left hand. Wait, he's putting it in his mouth.
It's gone again. Maybe he put it in his mouth.
Wait, it's back again.
(He swallowed it, but it's back in his hand.)
Give him a round of applause.
(His magic trick is impressive.)
He's amazing.
You said you'd show us levitation too, right?
The levitation.
Please bring us the prop.
Bring us the prop.
The prop.
(He wants to get the prop himself.)
(He suddenly pulls something from out of thin air.)
Is this a magic trick too?
He had it prepared with the bodyguard beforehand.
(He even cared about the details in his magic.)
Are you ready?
Let's put this down now.
It says "King of Mask Singer" on it.
He's going to levitate...
this paper at once.
Will he be able to pull it off?
Show us the magic trick, Gatekeeper.
"King of Mask Singer".
It's levitating.
It's up on the sky.
It's levitating.
It's going to the side.
It's going up.
Good. He's showing us real levitation.
Will it fall?
(He yanks it out.)
Gosh.
(I can do this too.)
Hold on.
Are you going to be like this?
(It's dropped on the floor.)
It got flown away.
(He's disappointed.)
- You should've let it slide. - I mean,
is he aged enough...
to ruin someone else's specialty?
Let's check Royal Guard's last specialty.
He's going to play the drums,
but they're a bit small.
Music, please.
(He'll play the mini drums.)
(It's hard enough to just sit on the mini drums,)
(but he perfectly pulls it off.)
(But it didn't last long.)
(The drums fall apart.)
He's good.
(They make perfect harmony.)
They're great.
(It's a total mess.)
(It's good as long as it's exciting.)
(He makes a perfect finishing touch.)
What was that?
He broke it all.
It ends like this at last.
That was surprising.
It's the last match of Round One.
Whose performance did the audience...
like more?
I'll reveal the last winner of Round One now.
(The more you listen to Gatekeeper's voice, the more charming it gets.)
(You can entrust your heart to his voice.)
(On the other hand, Royal Guard's sweet voice guards your ears.)
(He protects the emotional fence safely.)
Between the two masked singers,
who's the lucky winner...
who'll get to advance to Round Two?
The winner is...
- The winner is... - The winner is...
I'm so curious to know who Gatekeeper is.
(Which emotional keeper did the audience choose?)
Who will advance to Round Two? The winner is...
(Coming soon)
It's a whale.
(An urgent shout resonates in the Indian Ocean.)
Where?
(They encounter the biggest animal on Earth.)
(It's the final story of Sri Lanka.)
(It'll be broadcast soon.)
Will it be Gatekeeper or Royal Guard?
Who will advance to Round Two? The winner is...
The winner is...
(I Can Protect You Better Than Anyone, Royal Guard wins.)
Royal Guard wins.
(He'll be the emotional guard for Round Two as well.)
The voting difference is 67 to 32.
It's 67 to 32.
Royal Guard has won against Gatekeeper.
Give him a round of applause.
(The identity of Gatekeeper will be revealed soon.)
I'll see you in Round Two. Thank you.
Some people assumed that he was in his 70s.
They said he's more fit to be a governor.
I wonder what his identity is.
Let's find out while listening to his solo performance.
Give him a big round of applause.
(They sensed his life's experience from his espresso-like voice color.)
(He's the master of using his shoulders to sing.)
(He keeps his mic...)
(and makes a heart with his hands differently from others.)
- There's the heart. - Who makes a heart like that now?
("Western Sky" by Lee Seung Chul)
It's "Western Sky".
(It's the masterpiece Seung Chul sang with his sorrowful voice.)
(How will Gatekeeper sing this song with his voice?)
Where did I see...
that build?
He's a singer.
He kept on insisting that he wasn't.
(He calmly sings through the first line.)
(The emotions deepen more and more in the calm mood.)
(He delivers the sincerity through his honest singing style.)
(He expresses his emotions with his shoulders.)
Now, Gatekeeper, please take off your mask...
and reveal your identity.
(He puts his mic in his belt.)
(As soon as he reveals his face,)
(the audience gets shocked.)
He is...
Who is he? I'm so curious.
(Who is he?)
- Why? - Why?
- They're going crazy. - He is...
He is...
He's Ju Byeong Jin, the gentleman in the comedy field...
and the godfather of talk shows.
(Oh, my goodness.)
(Whom did I...)
(just see?)
(Screaming)
(Byeong Jin's appearance surprises everyone.)
- It's Byeong Jin. - It's Byeong Jin.
(The original host of "Sunday Night" is back after such a long time.)
My goodness.
(This is incredible.)
(He sings with his shoulders...)
(and delivers deep sentimentality.)
(He sings each note with passion.)
Thank you.
(The element of surprise...)
(makes Ju Byeong Jin's "Western Sky" more impressive.)
- I can't believe it. - This is incredible.
I feel like I am watching "Sunday Night".
I got goosebumps.
We were on the right track.
- Do you think so? - Weren't we?
- I'm relieved I said he's a singer. - I told you that before.
- Thank goodness. - He used to be a comedian.
He was a singer too back in the days.
Gatekeeper's identity has been revealed.
He is Ju Byeong Jin, a former MC who used to represent the country.
Please say hello to the viewers.
How have you been?
Dongdaemun is open. I am a man who always greets people,
I'm Ju Byeong Jin. It's nice to meet you.
(Gatekeeper was Ju Byeong Jin.)
(I will gather each and every gaze.)
("Sunday Night", "First Avenue Humor", etc.)
(He was the original national MC who shined in the comedy industry.)
(He taught Noh Sa Yeon and Lee Gyeong Gyu.)
(He hosted "Ju Byeong Jin Show", a legendary talk show.)
(He was the king of talk shows who brought in celebrities.)
(He was a gentleman among comedians who even presented news.)
(He didn't need any more words to describe him.)
(His name alone told people that he is the legend.)
Thank you.
(And he is a musician who loves music.)
(With his incredible singing skills, he has even won an award.)
(He has worked as a comedian, singer, and entrepreneur.)
(The godfather of comedy, Ju Byeong Jin.)
For how many years have you hosted this show?
- Three and a half years. - I see.
I have been on a break.
Thank you for hosting this show for three and a half years.
(His words are meaningful.)
Will you be the new host?
- I am hopeful. - Please spare me.
It has been 20 years since you were on "Sunday Night".
You don't look much older...
than when you did while wearing a suit.
I am amazed...
at how unoriginal...
- your comment is. - I mean it.
I am amazed at his body.
When your identity was a mystery,
I said that your body looks young.
It's not easy to have...
- so much hair at his old age. - That's right.
It must be because he works out a lot.
At every turn,
- he talks about my old age... - It's not like that.
and seniority.
- But I am in my 50s too. - He likes to remind people.
Gu Ra, if you sing on the stage,
you will look older than me.
(Chastened)
I know that well.
After taking off my mask,
Gu Ra and the others became gentler.
Did they change?
- They became politer. - After you took off your mask.
Yes, they changed.
When you were wearing a mask, they yawned.
- No, we didn't. - They wanted me to move on.
Even Lee Gyeong Gyu is scared of him.
(When he is before Ju Byeong Jin,)
(even Lee Gyeong Gyu becomes cute.)
He is like the godfather.
Seong Ju, watch your mouth. You might get yourself in trouble.
When he wore a mask,
you judged him to be in his 70s or 80s.
Yoon Seok did that.
No, I was exaggerating.
I have a dissenting opinion after all.
I don't know what I am talking about.
But at this hour,
I used to turn on the TV to watch Ju Byeong Jin.
Then he said,
"I will gather each and every gaze and start the show."
That marked the beginning of Sunday evenings.
I never imagined that a big star like you would visit...
- this show. - You were prejudiced.
Thank you for coming.
I have a question.
When you sing, do you always move the microphone away from you?
That's because I am used to singing at karaokes and bars.
This microphone doesn't make a screeching sound...
even when it's close to me.
Some microphones make that sound.
When that happens, I do this.
(Quick)
A lot of panelists thought you were a singer...
- I was surprised. - because...
of how you held the microphone.
The shoot for King of Mask Singer takes place at MBC Dream Center.
There are pictures from the past TV programs in the hallway.
There is a picture of Kim Byung Jo and Ju Byeong Jin.
MCs such as Shin Dong Yeob and Yu Jae Seok...
- grew up watching Ju Byeong Jin. - That's right.
There are moments in my life...
I always keep inside my heart.
What I experienced here today...
will join those few memories.
I have a feeling I will remember this day...
until the day I pass away.
Thank you so much. I was happy.
Thank you.
I am sure this episode helped the viewers...
take a trip down the memory lane.
He appeared on TV on Sunday night once again...
and flaunted his singing skills.
Please give a round of applause to Ju Byeong Jin.
- Byeong Jin. - Gosh, it's hot.
Thank you for your hard work.
(Gu Ra and the others have been waiting for him.)
Thank you for your hard work.
- I won't be humiliated, will I? - No.
- You sang very well. - That's right.
- See you around later. - Okay.
(Gu Ra bows in 90 degrees angle.)
I couldn't even imagine you would visit this show.
I don't know how I came to visit this show either.
It's here.
(He spots a poster from his "Sunday Night" days.)
I was so full of confidence.
It feels like...
I am revisiting a town I once lived in for many years...
by chance.
The town underwent a lot of changes.
"That used to be here."
"That building is new."
I am jogging down my memories...
when the elders and friends...
who were nice to me suddenly appear and say,
"What brings you here?"
Then they welcome me.
That's what today felt like.
It was very nice.
Gatekeeper was me, Ju Byeong Jin.
I will continue to guard the castle of your memories...
like a gatekeeper. Thank you.
Next week.
(The cutest sharks appear.)
(A sudden battle of cuteness begins.)
(A battle of power)
(The singing competition is fierce too.)
(Will there be the best performance ever?)
(Will they have a new owner of the throne?)
(I am in danger!)
(Queen of Mask Singer chooses an unexpected song.)
(No one can predict the result.)
(I can't choose a winner.)
(The 75th King of Mask Singer...)
(will be revealed next week.)
