The mysterious music show, King of Mask Singer.
Previously on King of Mask Singer.
(Her heartrending emotions burst like flames.)
(With her inviolable charisma, she dominated the stage.)
The winner is...
She won for the third time.
She's the 71st, 72nd, and 73rd Queen of Mask Singer.
A Woman of Her Own,
Swordswoman.
(The 3rd time winner is here.)
(Hello.)
On the first day of April, with refreshing songs,
we will bring you the vitality of spring.
The mysterious music show, King of Mask Singer.
I am your unbiased show host, Kim Seong Ju.
(Ken of VIXX, Seung Kwan of Seventeen)
(Kwon Eun Bin of CLC, Lady Jane)
Last week,
the queen sang "Y Si Fuera Ella" by SHINee...
and won for the third time by an overwhelming majority.
A Woman of Her Own, Swordswoman.
Can you say hi to the viewers?
Hello. I am A Woman of Her Own,
Swordswoman.
(She's very bubbly for a queen.)
She's very vigorous.
If Swordswoman succeeds...
to defend herself this time,
she will have the same record as Kim Yeon Woo and Gummy...
as she wins for the fourth time.
You must be getting more and more ambitious.
We are curious to know what your resolution is for today.
I trained my body and mind for this.
I am going to shock everyone with my performance.
I will try my best.
(She's very confident.)
What do you think, Gu Ra?
Last week, while listening to her singing "Y Si Fuera Ella",
I came up with a wish.
In 1986, Kim Hak Rae sang a song named "Sun Sun".
- Sun, sun, sun - Right.
- Am I the only one who knows? - You know it.
People who are a bit older than me...
must remember that Cho Ha Moon also performed "Sun".
It goes like, "Sun, rise".
I wish they perform songs like these.
I want to hear them performing "Sun Sun" by Kim Hak Rae,
"Ballad of the Memories" by Jang Hye Lee,
or "The Rosy Lips" by Hong Soo Chul.
- Are you requesting songs? - I wish they perform these songs.
Do you know "Ballad of the Memories" by Jang Hye Lee?
- "Ballad of the Memories". - "Ballad of the Memories".
When was this song released?
It was released when I was in ninth grade.
- Then I wasn't even born yet. - I see.
When you said you weren't even born yet, are you giving us a hint...
that you're young?
That could be interpreted as a hint indeed.
A very long time ago, someone said I'm old.
What is she saying?
(He doesn't understand what she said.)
- Okay. I see. - I see.
Let's see if she can keep her winning streak today.
Now, let's begin the match.
The 73th queen, Swordswoman, is aiming for...
her fourth victory.
Who will be her rival?
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.
Would you like to hear my spicy voice?
Emotional Onion Man sheds tears. Onion Man!
I will teach the queen a lesson.
(He's behind an onion-shaped mask, but he's handsome.)
He's so tall.
Doesn't his walking look extraordinary?
- He walks like a model. - Exactly.
Here comes his opponent.
Stop right there, queen.
Everyone, take off your mask.
Mushroom Boy.
(Everyone, take off your mask. Mushroom Boy.)
Swordswoman, take off your golden mask.
(He's behind a mushroom-shaped mask, but he looks cute.)
It's the mushroom boy from the game, "Super Mario".
My goodness.
Look at the bodyguards.
- The bodyguards behind... - They're working hard.
(Onion juice)
(Onion juice versus Mushroom headgear)
(Both their props look impressive.)
He looks so fit.
He looks great in the suit.
Isn't that Ho Young's suit?
- Did you lend him your suit? - It looks like my suit.
- My gosh. - Give me back my suit.
(It's a singing competition between two health foods.)
(Which of them will moisten...)
(our dusty, empty hearts?)
("Your Smile in My Memory" by Shin Seung Hun)
It's "Your Smile in My Memory".
My gosh, I love this song.
This song makes me feel nostalgic.
Your voice is very important when you sing this song.
(What kind of sounds will their singing bring?)
(His voice echoes like the pungent smell of an onion spreading.)
(What an attractive voice.)
(Onion Man's voice is as pure as the inner skin of an onion.)
(Mushroom Boy's voice has an extraordinary resonance.)
(His voice sounds sorrowful.)
(His beautiful voice is as tender as mushroom soup.)
(He calmly raises...)
(his expressive voice.)
(This is nice.)
It's like the spring sunshine.
(Their performance warms everyone's heart like the spring sunshine.)
(Mushroom Boy carefully sings every single note.)
(On the contrary, Onion Man's voice sings boldly.)
(It makes me sad.)
(It's an amazing harmony of husky and sweet voices.)
(Mushroom Boy hits the high notes with his soft voice.)
(Their voices softly blend together.)
(The audience is touched by their harmony.)
(The song sounds vivid like the fresh texture of a mushroom.)
(The stage is sent on a path of old memories.)
(They create a rich and unique harmony.)
(Watching the performance makes the audience feel healthier.)
(Their performance was fresh like organic food.)
Gosh, they sound so unique.
Mushroom Boy looks exactly like the mushroom boy in the game...
I used to play when I was in elementary school.
He does.
And he looks exactly like the onion I used to grow in elementary school.
I have no idea who they could be.
The first match of Round One is now over.
I'd like to hear what a poetic musician, Young Seok, thinks.
Many people get nervous in Round One,
but their performance was very comforting.
It made me feel comfortable. Thank you.
We have watched many performances...
that requires great singing skills.
If I were to compare those with a fancy meal of an emperor,
Onion Man's performance was a meal of a poet.
It was very light and healthy.
His performance...
was simple yet special.
On the contrary, Mushroom Boy's voice...
sounds like it's covered with lubricant.
His vibrato is like that of Lee Se Joon from Yurisangja.
- I see. - His voice lightly quivers,
which makes me think he's a professional singer.
The sound he makes...
sounds very confident.
- I'm sure he's a singer. - I see.
He's really good.
Kai, do you agree with Young Seok?
Considering how this show has been going recently...
Do you research on that too?
Gu Ra taught me some tips about it.
- You studied the trend? - Recently, this program tends to...
set skilled contestants to compete in the first match.
These days, we had skilled contestants...
- Exactly. - in the first match?
It has been a trend these days.
I'd like to say Mushroom Boy...
is a poisonous mushroom.
- Is it poisonous? - It's poisonous.
His voice is somewhat husky,
but he was mainly using his deep voice.
He didn't show us his poison yet.
Once we're poisoned by him,
it will be extremely dangerous.
It will be fatal.
I'm looking forward to his next performance.
What about Onion Man? Someone said he doesn't look like a singer.
As for Onion Man, I can tell...
that he suffers from severe rhinitis.
- You think he has rhinitis. - Yes.
Although it might be uncomfortable for him,
his unique and rich voice makes the best of it.
I'd like to carefully make a guess...
that he might be from Jeolla Province.
- I thought the same. - You could tell that too?
When he pronounced the word, "thought",
I could tell it was from the Jeolla accent.
Considering his pronunciation...
(In the middle of the sweet performance,)
(Jeolla Province's accent)
(I got you.)
He has an accent.
(It's like he sang "Tears in Mokpo" instead.)
You caught that?
There are some people who sing it that way.
- Shin Seung Hun sang it that way. - No, it's not that.
I also think he's from Jeolla Province.
The original singer, Shin Seung Hun, is from Daejeon.
This song is in his first album,
and he sings it in the same way.
With an accent?
(Shin Seung Hun's stage when he had just debuted)
It's Seung Hun's accent.
Onion Man just sang it exactly the way Seung Hun did.
- Did you? - He just imitated Seung Hun.
They have different opinions.
I think he just has the Jeolla Province's accent.
Some of you think he just imitated Seung Hun's accent...
while some of you think he's from Jeolla Province...
and it's his own accent.
- In my opinion, he's an actor. - An actor?
Yes. He's probably someone too hard for us to guess.
A rising star?
Yes. It's impossible for us to recognize him.
So I give up guessing who he is.
(He ends up giving up on guessing who he is.)
There are no clues.
- It's impossible to guess. - You're giving up.
- Yes. - There's nothing you can do?
But frankly, he chose to sing...
Shin Seung Hun's song.
I think he was probably born between 1976...
1976?
and 1982.
He's in between his late 30s to early 40s?
This song was released when I was in elementary school.
I think it's one of his favorite songs.
That's probably why he wanted to sing it...
on our show today.
And he nodded just now.
Yes. He just nodded...
without realizing.
Be careful with your gestures.
He learned a lesson.
- I disagree. - Yes, Lady Jane.
I believe Onion Man...
is a man in his 30s.
His voice tells me he'd be a handsome man.
I think he's an actor.
- A handsome actor... - Yes.
in his 30s?
- As for Mushroom Boy, - Yes?
the moment I heard his voice,
I thought it felt like soap bubbles.
- Soap bubbles? - It sounds pure...
and nostalgic.
HIs voice sounds nostalgic.
That's how it sounded.
It reminds you of faint, old memories?
You seem to be having a hard time from the first match.
I think it'll help you guess who they are...
if they show you their specialties.
First, Onion Man.
Apparently, he's a crazy soccer fan.
No one has ever done this on our show.
He prepared a cheering song for a soccer game.
- What? - Maybe he's an athlete.
- All right. - Who?
It's a cheering song for a soccer game. He's a big fan.
He's already getting into the rhythm.
Shall we begin?
Here we go.
(He plays soccer with an onion.)
Let's go, let's go!
Go, Korea!
(He actually sounds low-spirited.)
(You're our champion)
That's it.
A cheering song for a soccer game.
(He sang it in a low-pitched voice.)
He somehow turned it into his specialty.
Now, I want to give up guessing even more.
It's very hard to guess who he is.
Is it hard? This time, Mushroom Boy will mimic...
the sound of the whistle of an old train.
Let us hear it.
(Squealing)
What was that?
(What?)
That's exactly what I was expecting.
(Gu Ra pushes him to be funnier.)
He has one last thing to show you.
It's the sound of a money counter.
That's something new.
- Yes. - That's original.
300 dollars?
- The sound of counting 300 dollars? - In 10-dollar bills?
Go ahead.
(Rattling sounds)
(Right.)
(That's certainly the sound,)
(but it's not enough.)
They discuss what they should show us with the scriptwriter.
- That's right. - With that kind of specialty,
the scriptwriter would normally...
tell him to do something else.
Maybe he's someone authoritative and she couldn't tell him that.
What if the scriptwriter told you to do something funnier?
I'd try my best to do it.
Like what? Could you show us?
When I was on this show, I imitated Lee So Ra's voice.
That's right.
(Imitating Lee So Ra's voice)
I did something like this.
The scriptwriter liked it...
- and asked for more. - For more?
So I prepared many other funny specialties.
If this is his last specialty,
- maybe he's a big senior. - Or an elderly man.
He might be someone important.
He imitated the sound of the train whistle earlier,
but the whistle actually sounds like this.
It should be a grating sound.
Could you do it again?
Something like this.
Could you do the train whistle again?
(Mushroom Boy's train sounds a bit feeble.)
Ken of VIXX.
(Powerful)
I would rather take this train.
Thank you.
He's definitely a musician.
I think he must be a very famous musician.
Would he really turn out to be an important figure?
Now, another specialty of his is being free from pain.
He says he can't feel any pain at all.
He will step up on the acupressure mat...
and jump rope on it.
But he won't make any groaning sounds.
Being free from pain.
He won't feel any pain in his feet.
Try stepping on it. Are you sure you can do this?
Seong Ju, why don't you try it?
Me? No, I'm good.
- So we can compare. - Please step on it...
so we can see how painful it is.
- Here? - From here,
- it doesn't look so painful. - That's right.
Please show us.
Of course it's painful. It's very painful.
(Groaning)
It hurts to even just stand on it.
If I jump...
(What if he jumps?)
(Screaming)
(Is it the mat of pain?)
Can he really do this?
Are you going to be okay? All right.
He can't feel any pain. He's taking off his socks too.
He's going up on it.
I'm not sure if he can do this.
He won't make any groaning sounds at all.
Ready, go!
Oh, my gosh.
(He's jumping on the mat of pain.)
He's amazing.
(He jumps lightly as if he's on the clouds.)
Gosh, this is...
He's amazing. Oh, my.
I don't even need to count it.
That's it. Gosh.
It should be really painful.
Would you like to try it?
- Yes? - All right.
- Let's see it. - Please take off your shoes.
Go on. It's okay.
Don't be afraid.
- Now, - Is it that painful?
Onion Man will jump rope on the acupressure mat.
(How will he do?)
(My goodness.)
(It hurts so badly.)
It hurts? It hurts a lot?
(Laughing)
Hold on.
You prepared dancing as your specialty.
On the acupressure mat?
Not originally,
but why don't you try it?
- Good. - Is that okay?
- That sounds great. - Dance on the mat.
(Gu Ra likes his boldness.)
Jumping rope is too painful.
Music, please.
(He dances to "Bboom Bboom" by Momoland.)
It's "Bboom Bboom".
(He begins dancing with light steps.)
All right. He's getting started.
He's dancing lightly.
(He doesn't miss the signature move.)
Please dance a little harder.
(He's dancing in pain already.)
There you go.
Jump a bit higher.
(Jump higher?)
(Flopping)
Here we go. That's it. Don't be scared.
You must endure it.
(The mat becomes a fire pit.)
He's a comedian.
- He must be a comedian! - A comedian!
He's a comedian.
(He's a comedian!)
- You think he's a comedian? - Yes.
It's hard to do something like that spontaneously.
Do you think he could be J.Pwang?
J.Pwang.
- It's possible. - Right? J.Pwang.
- J.Pwang, the comedian. - Yes. J.Pwang.
You thought he would be an actor, a model, an athlete,
- and now, a comedian. - I think he's a comedian.
- Is that so? - Yes.
All right.
The first match of Round One. It was a close match.
(A close match)
The winner of this match defeated his opponent...
by three votes.
Who will be the one to move on to Round Two?
Between Onion Man, who has piquant yet sweet charms,
and Mushroom Boy, whose voice sounds more exquisite than a truffle,
who will be the winner of this match? Let's find out now.
(Let's find out the winner.)
(Onion Man has infinite charms...)
(within his deep yet soft voice.)
(Mushroom Boy is a strong survivor...)
(with a deeply ringing voice.)
Between Onion Man and Mushroom Boy,
who is the winner of this match?
The winner is...
- The winner is... - The winner is...
(I can't watch.)
(Who will move on to Round Two?)
Let's find out. The winner is...
(Everyone, Take off Your Mask, Mushroom Boy wins.)
Mushroom Boy won.
Yes!
(One more round of Mushroom Boy!)
(They can enjoy his voice again in Round Two.)
(Unfortunately, it's Onion Man's defeat.)
The final score is 48 to 51.
(The final score is 48 to 51.)
Please go back to your waiting room.
Let's give him a big hand.
(Onion Man's unexpected identity will be revealed.)
It was a very close match.
I'll show you...
my true colors more clearly in Round Two.
It's a shame.
Onion Man. Who could he be?
We will reveal his identity with a solo performance.
Please give him a big round of applause!
(He has an honest and neat voice.)
(Is he a handsome actor?)
(Or an athlete?)
(Someone from Jeolla Province who has rhinitis?)
(He was full of wits.)
(Did his specialty let others notice his nature of a comedian?)
("Too Great" by Lee Jae Young)
Is he from old times?
He's a middle-aged man.
(It's a dance song with the sentiments of 1996.)
I can tell he's about my age if he chose to sing this song.
He's about our age.
(Some of the panelists are excited to feel the old-time sentiments.)
(His voice is cheerful unlike the duet performance.)
(His uplifting voice makes their bodies bounce to the song.)
(I don't know who he is.)
(He must be an athlete.)
Now,
Onion Man, please take off your mask...
and reveal your identity.
He is...
Goodness, they're going crazy.
A lot of them recognize him.
(Who on earth is he?)
Reveal your identity.
He is...
like EXO in the home shopping industry.
He's the famous show host, Lee Min Woung.
(He's Lee Min Woung?)
(It's totally unexpected.)
(Even his friends didn't recognize him.)
Min Woung.
(They had no idea about his amazing singing skills.)
(He's glad to see him here.)
(For today, he's not a show host,)
(but a singer on stage.)
(He performs seriously,)
(and it makes the audience excited.)
(He's skilled in putting the mic back and forth.)
(He knows how to have real fun.)
(Min Woung knows how to have fun and leads the performance.)
(Min Woung's "Too Great" is about to get sold out.)
(Awesome)
He's had some real fun.
(How could they not recognize this charming man?)
Are you two the same age?
He's my age.
Please say hello to the viewers.
Hello, I'm the show host, Lee Min Woung.
(He's the EXO of the home shopping industry.)
(This fairy of sold-out items makes housewives stay tuned.)
(He's a witty talker and left a legendary video clip.)
(Flap hard)
(He achieved the sales of 4 million dollars in just an hour.)
(He's the star show host recognized by everyone.)
(He's honest enough to reveal his plastic surgery.)
(I had my double-eyelid surgery done.)
(With his witty talking skills, he appeared in variety shows as well.)
(He's as cute and charming as idols.)
(He's full of excitement too.)
(Lee Min Woung has various charms like home shopping.)
- Where's your hometown? - It's Gwangyang, Jeolla Province.
Really?
The pronunciation.
Like you mentioned a while ago,
Shin Seung Hun...
did sing the part that way,
and I copied his pronunciation.
I see.
It happened while you tried to copy it during the practice.
And I have serious rhinitis because of the fine dust these days.
- They caught it as well. - They even guessed his disease.
- I'm so touched. - They guessed his rhinitis right.
- The panelists went crazy. - Why?
They admitted my reasoning ability because he's famous,
but it was so hard to guess his identity right.
Well, you should've given the panelists more hints.
Min Woung came out on TV pretty often.
- Right? - That's right.
- I'm friends with Ho Young. - Right.
I met Gu Ra on "Radio Star" as well.
We did work together, but...
I worked with Lady Jane...
on a radio show many times as well.
We were worried you might notice his identity.
Your friends here might not think they're that much close with you.
(Your friends here might not think they're that much close with you.)
(He's joking.)
Actually, I kept on telling Bong Sun...
that his voice sounded so familiar but I couldn't remember.
Come to think, I'd never heard him sing.
- Right. - I see.
That must be why I couldn't recognize him.
I understand.
Your unique way of hosting home shopping shows...
has become the talk of the town recently.
I hosted this show late at night, and it was about...
- selling albums of Lucid Fall... - Oh, right.
and tangerines together as a package.
I hosted a show about selling padded jackets...
with Super Junior.
Please watch it when you see my face while changing channels.
Please support me.
He's so handsome.
(We'll look forward to watching your shows.)
If you don't mind,
can you show us a bit...
- of how you host a show? - Do you want to see it?
Give him a round of applause.
How do you host a show to make amazing sales records?
Well, this mask...
Shall we try selling this?
I'll help you a little as your assistant.
- Hello. - Hello.
- Please let me finish my part. - Gosh, I'm sorry.
(The assistant is greedy.)
Okay, sorry.
Hello, I'm Lee Min Woung.
I'm the assistant, Kim Seong Ju.
It's nice to meet you, and I'm here to introduce a nice item today.
Check out each layer of this onion skin.
It's sparkling.
It shines and sparkles, right?
Let me show you an additional give-away for female buyers.
It's an additional give-away.
There are three blocks of latex attached inside of the mask.
It'll be useful in fixing your make-up.
Well, it's not good for your skin if the mask touches it directly.
It's 19 dollars and payable in 64-month installments.
You can pay six cents a month like it's some sort of pension.
- "Like it's some sort of pension"? - You can pay it in installments.
- Wait, it's almost sold out. - Let's see.
- It's been sold out. - Thank you.
(Bravo)
This is how you do it.
He's such a talented person full of charms.
I hope he becomes an entertainer...
who gets sold out in the entertainment industry as well.
I see.
He showed his pleasant energy to us today.
Please give him...
- another round of applause. - Go for it.
(We hope to see you more often.)
In all of my shows, the products, not me,
get in the center of the spotlight.
But today, I was under the spotlight during the performances today,
and the audience applauded for me. It was so fun.
Amazing performances from new challengers are coming soon.
They've been prepared with unbelievable deals and giveaways.
It's just for today,
so you'll regret it if you miss this chance.
Make sure you stay tuned.
As the result of Round One,
Everyone, Take off Your Mask, Mushroom Boy,
won against Lee Min Woung and advanced to Round Two.
It's the second match of Round One.
She's the ambitious girl who doesn't stop.
Scallop to the Throne.
(Scallop to the Throne)
I've prepared performances...
that will make your jaws drop.
(Let's go.)
(She captures the audience's eyes.)
She's flashy.
She's bright.
She's a bit fidgety.
Against her...
is the hermit crab who's here to propose.
Super Rich with a House, Hermit Crab.
I'll show you all my abilities...
which I've been hiding in my shell.
(I'm here to sing after securing my house.)
(Envious)
He's got his house.
He's pretty big.
The way he walks seems imposing.
(The audience are swept by the wave of excitements...)
(for the match of these two sea creatures.)
(How will be their singing abilities...)
(when they are taken out from their sturdy shells?)
("Sunset Glow" by Lee Moon Sae)
It's "Sunset Glow".
(Their song is the exciting masterpiece, "Sunset Glow".)
(Hermit Crab takes out his charming voice.)
(I love you)
(He enjoys the performance in a relaxed manner.)
(It sounds more familiar the more they hear his voice.)
It sounds so familiar. Who is he?
His voice is very familiar.
(Scallop calmly adds her voice.)
(Like a sunset that colors the sky,)
(they fill up the stage nicely.)
(Her voice is as beautiful as a pearl in a scallop.)
(However, her singing style suddenly changes.)
(Like the sunset glow)
(Scallop sings in a refreshing manner.)
(She changes the atmosphere freely.)
(Her singing style draws attention.)
(I love you)
(They shout out their confession of love.)
("Sunset Glow" leaves everyone glowing.)
(It was the best.)
It was fantastic. They have great stage manners.
- They are singers. - They are singers.
- They are singers. - Who are they?
They can sing very well.
The second match of Round One came to an end.
Please say hello to the viewers.
Hello.
Scallop to the Throne. I'm Scallop.
She is dressed like a mermaid.
Super Rich...
with a House,
(Breathing heavily)
- Hermit Crab. - All right.
- He is cute. - Hermit Crab is cute.
Hermit Crab introduced himself.
You are trying hard.
(Meaningful)
(Gu Ra stopped making deductions for the 1st match.)
I will resume making deductions.
- You became active again. - I almost have him.
- You almost have him? - Yes.
I thought he was sticking out his belly, but it's just how he is.
Is it really his belly?
It's his natural belly.
Maybe it is, maybe it isn't.
First, the expert of vocal cords, Hyun Chul.
I don't know who Gu Ra thinks Hermit Crab is.
You should know.
Hyun Chul, Young Seok, and Jang Hyuk should know.
- You are talking about Hermit Crab. - Yes, I am.
- Should we know who he is? - That's right.
At first, I thought he was Yoo Min Sang.
- Yoo Min Sang, a comedian. - Yes.
However, I realized that I was wrong upon hearing him sing.
I think he is older than me.
- Hermit Crab? - Yes.
He uses a singing style that was popular...
among the singers who were active in the 80s.
His voice is very familiar too.
Thinking that I should know who he is,
I exchanged glances with Young Seok.
However, I have no clue.
- He has a singing style of the 80s. - Yes.
I also give up...
on figuring out Scallop's identity.
- Are you giving up? Is it hard? - Yes.
Why would you give up?
Seriously.
Whenever I reach a conclusion,
I'm full of doubt.
At first, she sang like Girls' Generation.
Towards the end, she sang like a rocker.
The gestures she showed from time to time...
are often seen on shows like "Open Concert".
I know. I bet she is someone who performed on "Open Concert".
- That's what I think. - That's what I think.
She is on the older side.
- That's right. - She is from the older generation.
I remember the way she sang the last line.
The sunset glows without an answer
She did that.
- Really? - Yes.
(The highlight)
(The sunset glows without an answer)
Did she stretch out the end?
Idol singers don't sing like that these days.
- You are right. - They just don't.
That's why I mentioned "Open Concert".
- I think... - Eun Bin.
I have an idea.
I think she is younger than you expect.
- She is younger than we expect? - Yes.
- She is full of good cheer. - Who is she?
I think she is a member of Mamamoo.
- Mamamoo. - Mamamoo.
- Mamamoo. - I see.
That's plausible.
I think she was in a beauty pageant.
- Why do you say that? - She continues to stand like this.
We shouldn't focus on the way she stands.
Similar to how a scallop on a grill opens its mouth,
her explosive singing skills...
- They came out at once. - That's right.
She is capable...
of showing her singing skills in a steadfast way.
As for Hermit Crab,
I thought he put something in his belly.
(As soon as he took off his gown)
Is that his belly?
- No, he put something inside. - He put something inside.
He put something inside.
However, if that belly isn't his,
it would have been hard for him to sing with resonance.
The resonance he had in his voice...
didn't come from his throat.
He is more familiar with using his entire body to sing.
That's why I think he is someone...
who sings very often.
He is an actor.
(Gu Ra cuts in.)
- Who is an actor? - Hermit Crab.
- Kai took his time to deduce. - I am discouraged.
He is an actor.
- Is he an actor? - I know...
- he was in a lot of musicals. - He is multi-talented.
Does he work in the musical scene?
Yes. He is well-known for his incredible singing skills.
- Really? - So today,
when he began to sing, I thought to myself,
"There is only one person with his build and singing skills."
Some panelists say he was in musicals. Young Seok.
His voice is as rough as an earthen pot.
From what I heard,
the way he hit high notes in the climax...
made him seem better than a singer.
He is incredibly talented.
He sings in a charming way.
Then I heard Scallop sing in the second verse.
My words might hurt Hermit Crab's feelings,
but she showed what being a singer is all about.
- You could compare their skills. - When Scallop sang,
her vocalization and everything else were nice.
What's strange is that her gestures don't belong to a singer.
- Really? - Yes.
Look at that. That's what I am talking about.
- She is confident. - These gestures are too much.
Yes, they are too much.
However, she has skills...
to become Queen of Mask Singer.
Her gestures remind me...
of Koreana.
Koreana?
("The Victory" was the theme song of the Seoul Olympics in 1988.)
(Is she a member of Koreana?)
(To the victory)
She does remind me a bit of Koreana.
She knows who Koreana is.
She laughed upon hearing the name.
I think she performs often on big stages.
All right. They will reveal themselves further.
Hermit Crab will imitate Lee Deok Hwa. Let's hear it.
Hello, I am Lee Deok Hwa.
I give you love and passion.
Call 1588 for your hair.
(I am Lee Deok Hwa to my every inch of hair.)
(It was great.)
He sounds exactly like Deok Hwa. They are giving a standing ovation.
Let's hear another one.
Hermit Crab...
is a big fan of Stevie Wonder.
That's why he will pay homage to Stevie Wonder...
by imitating him.
Let us hear Stevie Wonder's voice.
"Part Time Lover"!
(Stevie Wonder's masterpiece, "Part Time Lover")
(Dancing)
(The way he plays the keyboard is 100 percent in sync.)
(He has good keyboard skills.)
(Fascinated)
(Hermit Crab invites you to the world of Stevie Wonder.)
(Scatting)
(It's show time.)
(He is exactly like Stevie Wonder.)
(He has a nice performance and a nice voice.)
(However)
(Laughing)
(Even after he takes his hands off, the music continues.)
That was it.
(He gets an A plus for his voice impression and humor.)
He sounded exactly like Stevie Wonder.
- "Part Time Lover". - The details were spot on.
- They were indeed. - The details were spot on.
Even the experts are impressed.
He sounded exactly like Stevie Wonder.
You really are a big fan of Stevie Wonder.
I am certain...
- of his identity. - Did you get an idea?
Yes, I did.
- Face? Face? - Yes, face.
Yes, you got it right.
- I'm sure he knows. - You're sure?
He understands what the face means.
I've never seen him sing before though.
He sings very well.
- Face? - Yes, face.
(Who are they talking about?)
All right. Scallop also wants to show you something.
She will show you some vocal mimicry.
She's singing "Pick Me" in Kim Yeong Cheol's voice...
trying to mimic Ha Choon Hwa's singing.
What?
Get ready.
Please let us hear your voice.
(The star of tonight is me)
(It's me)
That's it.
(She's good.)
Now, she will show you something younger.
She'll mimic Ji Min's voice from AOA.
She's Ji Min of AOA. Please show us.
(Getting ready to sing)
(I'll go to you like a cat tonight) (Without anyone knowing)
(Shouting)
That's it.
(She mimics voices emphasizing the details.)
- I'm sure she's an idol singer. - That was nice.
I guess she's pretty young.
- She's young? - Yes.
I think she's relatively young.
It's nothing like "Open Concert"?
It isn't. That's why I'm so confused now.
It's more like "Show! Music Core".
- Is it "Show! Music Core"? - Yes.
I'll give you the last hint then.
Scallop will show you some break dancing.
She looks quite confident.
She poses for her break dancing.
Music, please.
(She begins her breakdancing while being full of confidence.)
(She dances powerfully to the strong beats.)
Gosh, this isn't right.
What's that?
(Gosh, this isn't right.)
(The roasted scallop is on fire.)
Is it the doggy dance?
It's more like...
She's supposed to move smoothly.
(Let me show you something.)
(They suddenly start a dance battle.)
(Do you have anything fresh today?)
(Dancing)
(Try some.)
(Scallop can't control her desire to dance.)
(Startled)
(She shows off her charisma no matter what.)
(Scallop fascinates everyone with her charismatic charm.)
She knows the details.
(My back hurts.)
(She looks shy again.)
The ending was great.
I became convinced after watching her dance.
- You're convinced? - She's...
an idol singer who's famous for frolicking.
An idol singer who's famous for frolicking?
She's an idol singer with that character.
- A popular idol singer? - I bet she's young.
You think she's young.
I beg to differ.
When I saw her dance moves,
I thought she'd be about Jewelry's age.
- Jewelry? - Jewelry.
Or Brown Eyed Girls. I think she's around that age.
Can I ask Hermit Crab for help?
- Ask Hermit Crab for help? - Yes.
- What do you want to ask him? - Hermit Crab, is she an idol?
(Why is he suddenly asking me?)
- Just tell us your opinion. - He's going to tell us.
- Just tell us how you feel. - He doesn't even know her.
- They don't know each other. - How would he answer that?
He must've felt something.
- You're asking how he feels. - I'm asking Hermit Crab.
- Hermit Crab. - She's not an idol?
- I don't think she is. - I knew it. I told you.
He's standing right next to her. She can't fool him.
So he got help from Hermit Crab.
It just occurred to me when Jane said something.
Narsha was here a few weeks ago.
(Narsha was too energetic just like Scallop.)
Is there anyone who's just like Narsha?
No.
- Narsha is just Narsha. - She's very unique.
- But I think she's around her age. - I agree.
- Around her age. - There are various opinions.
And there's some conflict.
I'll announce the result after hearing Yoon Seok's opinion.
I think everyone knows who Hermit Crab is.
I think I'm the only one who has no idea.
I just think he looks like...
Patrick Star...
from "SpongeBob".
- I guess he knows the character. - He looks...
just like Patrick Star.
He has the same body type too.
But he can't be Patrick Star.
But his voice sounds like Patrick too.
It does?
"Hello, I'm Patrick."
(He never misses a chance to show off his specialty.)
All right. That was Yoon Seok's opinion.
All right then.
Now, I will announce the result...
of the second match of Round One.
Whose voice did the panelists vote for?
Let's find out the winner of this match.
Who'll move on to the next round?
(She has a sophisticated voice like a pearl.)
(The charismatic voice, Scallop.)
(He has a resounding voice like the deep blue sea.)
(The heart-warming voice, Hermit Crab.)
Scallop versus Hermit Crab.
Who will win this match...
and move on to Round Two?
The winner is...
- The winner is... - The winner is...
The winner is...
(It was a match between two characterful marine lives.)
(Which of them will take one step toward the Queen of Mask Singer?)
Please show us the result.
The winner is...
(Scallop to the Throne wins.)
Scallop wins.
(Scallop moved on to Round 2.)
Scallop!
(They will listen to her pearly voice again.)
I'm so curious who she is.
Hermit Crab was very cute.
The score is 71 to 28.
Scallop got a lot of votes.
She got more than 70 votes.
She's move on to Round Two by a comfortable margin.
Please give her a round of applause.
(The shocking identity of Hermit Crab will be revealed soon.)
We'll see her again in Round Two.
I'm young. I'm very young.
(Who would this young lady be?)
He has a somewhat familiar voice.
Let's find out whose voice it is.
We'll reveal his face with a solo performance prepared for Round Two.
Please give him a big hand.
(His identity will be revealed soon.)
(He has an extraordinary sound box.)
(His voice is a little rough like an earthen pot.)
(His voice sounds familiar.)
(He showed perfect vocal mimicry.)
(And he imitated Stevie Wonder like his doppelganger.)
(Who's Hermit Crab, who made everyone laugh?)
("With You" by Nam Jin)
- What's this song? - It's "With You".
(Hermit Crab's performance looks extraordinary from the beginning.)
(His voice sounds broad and magnanimous.)
(His cheerful voice makes everyone dance to the rhythm.)
Sow the seeds.
(Dancing together)
(He looks comfortable like a hermit crab in water.)
(His performance brings everyone together.)
(Finally)
Now, Hermit Crab, please take off your mask...
and reveal your identity.
(Screaming)
(Oh, my goodness)
- This is crazy. - They're very excited.
- This is crazy. - They're dancing.
He is...
a great actor with 30 years of experience,
Park Sang Myun.
(He's Actor Park Sang Myun!)
(Shocked)
(Excited)
(They greet their old colleague with great reactions.)
(They all are excited to see his face.)
(Thrilled)
(I like it. And I'm thrilled.)
(If I can live with you...)
(Sang Myun's magical charm is just delightful.)
Thank you.
(The stage is full of Sang Myun's good energy.)
Let's go.
(You thought it was over? Let's go!)
(This is the real beginning.)
He's here to have fun.
(He shows off his unstoppable energy.)
Come on!
(Singing together)
(He dominates the stage with his performance.)
Let's go!
(Let's go one more time!)
(Falling into a trance)
(The whole stage belongs to Sang Myun right at this moment.)
(Sang Myun's passionate performance electrifies the audience.)
Thank you.
(Sang Myun's passionate performance electrifies the audience.)
(This is crazy.)
You're the best!
- That was unbelievable. - You're so cool.
That was amazing.
(His song still lingers in the studio.)
Hermit Crab's identity is finally revealed.
Please say hello to the viewers.
Hello, I'm Park Sang Myun.
(There has never been an extra who received so much attention.)
(He got in the spotlight as the best supporting actor as he debuted.)
(From a charismatic villain...)
he has acted in various types of drama.
(He was the hero of a once-beloved sitcom,)
(and he is even funnier than comedians.)
(For that reason, he won many awards.)
(Is being the King of Mask Singer the only thing he hasn't done?)
(His passion for acting hasn't changed in the last 30 years.)
(And he still challenges himself to try something new.)
(He's the beloved and talented actor, Park Sang Myun.)
I haven't seen Gu Ra for a very long time.
It's very nice to see you.
What's up with the "face" analogy?
Your name includes the word "face".
He mentioned "face".
As soon as you said hello,
Gu Ra said, "I got it." You recognized him fast.
I didn't get to see him a lot,
but I like him, and I've heard...
from other people that he also likes me.
- Yes. - You heard from other people.
I have a lot of friends here.
There's Yoon Seok and Bong Sun.
I know a lot of them.
But I guess the young ones don't know me.
I know you.
- You know me? - I know you well.
- Right. - Ken figured it out...
- when Gu Ra said "face". - But he mentioned someone else.
- Did he? - Yes. I got confused.
- You got confused? - I got you confused...
with a friend of mine.
- That's why I got confused. - His name is Park Gyu Seon.
He's a comedian, and that's who he mentioned.
- I watched "Three Friends", - "Three Friends".
- and I have been your fan. - Right.
It took us so long...
to get him to come here.
Why have you been refusing to come on the show until now?
I wanted to come.
But it's a minus for me to sing with a mask on.
- Why is that? - I need to look at people...
and win the audience's hearts with my eyes.
I can't do that just with my voice when I'm wearing a mask.
- The mask is a minus factor. - It is.
- You need to sing face-to-face. - Yes.
My eyes are quite lovely.
Your eyes are your best quality.
I don't know who the other singer is.
But I agree with what Gu Ra said a while ago.
She's not an idol singer.
- Right. That's what I wanted. - That's my feeling.
- Thank you for your hint. - All right.
Have you impersonated Deok Hwa...
in front of Deok Hwa himself?
Whenever I have a meal with him,
I offer to make a toast.
Hello.
- Hurry up, and drink. - Hurry up, and drink.
It's lovely. Very lovely.
(He's undoubtedly a great actor with many talents.)
Among all the singers I've seen,
I think he's had the most fun.
During his performance,
his cheerful spirit and energy filled up this place.
Thank you for such a cheerful, fun, and amazing performance.
10 years ago or now,
you've always been the same.
- Please continue to inspire us. - Yes.
Thank you.
He made a tough decision...
to come and perform here.
And he managed to show us the talents he's been hiding.
Please give him a round of applause.
Thank you.
- Long time no see. - Hey.
Sang Myun.
Have you been well? Hello.
You were so great.
Don't say that. It's embarrassing.
- Hey, Sang Myun. - "With You".
(Gu Ra laughs.)
Have you been well?
I recognized you as soon as I heard your voice.
I knew you would recognize me.
I've loved music ever since I was little.
I wanted to perform with a good band and sound.
How can I compete against singers though? I can't.
Nevertheless, I thought I would come here once...
and show people how I sing.
That's why I came here.
Hello, dear viewers of King of Mask Singer.
Hermit Crab was Park Sang Myun.
It was nice to see you. Bye.
Scallop to the Throne beat Sang Myun...
and made it to Round Two.
This is the third match of Round One.
He ranks number one when it comes to charms.
I'll Shoot You If You Move, Game Machine.
I will make it through Round Three and go to Final Match.
(I'm here to win.)
(Stop it for now.)
(My gosh.)
Is he a hip-hop musician?
Is he into hip-hop?
(Let go of me.)
Contending against him is this masked singer.
The game is over once she joins.
Play with Your Right and Left Hand,
Game Boy.
I will go to Final Match and win the golden mask.
(I have the squeaky hammer.)
(He's great.)
He's full of confidence.
He's got the swiftness of an idol singer, doesn't he?
- He's light. He jumped high. - Right. He's light.
(Now, a jump is enough to guess who he might be.)
(They were as cheerful as their names.)
(But somehow, they are exuding the aura...)
(that is not so light.)
(How will these two gamers...)
(delight us today?)
("Aspirin" by Girl)
(Playing the drum)
(Game Machine's unique voice, as pungent as soda,)
(captures our attention.)
(She's impressed.)
(Game Boy's soft voice gently embraces our ears.)
(This cheerful duet makes us sing along.)
(It's exciting!)
They are both singers.
- They are singers. - Both of them.
(Let's just play.)
(We just have to enjoy it.)
(Everyone knows this part.)
(She loves it.)
(The cheerful and skillful duo performed "Aspirin".)
(Make some noise!)
They're incredibly good.
It's rock aspirin. It heals my pain.
The third match of Round One is now over.
When it comes to something fun and exciting, we shouldn't miss out...
Ho Young. How did you like the performance?
I had a lot of fun.
I didn't know who was supposed to be the contestants today.
I have been wearing suits...
on this show these days,
- Right. You put on colorful suits. - Today, the color...
of their outfit and my outfit...
- somehow match. - You should make a trio.
Right. This might be why I found them familiar.
- As for Game Boy... - Yes.
When I first saw him,
I thought he might be an idol singer.
- When he entered the stage. - I see.
But when he started singing,
he broke the stereotype of idol singers I have been having.
He was very laid-back.
If he is indeed an idol singer,
he must be the one who leads the group.
Even his singing skills are amazing.
As for Game Machine, he knows how to make...
his vocal cords constrict.
- He tightens his vocal cords. - Exactly. He tightens it.
When he was singing the second verse,
I could hear a hint of rock music from the way he performed.
He's very good at controlling his voice.
That's what I thought.
Both of them performed the song as if it's rock music.
- I don't think it was rock music. - Was it not?
- Both are hip-hop musicians. - Hip-hop?
As for Game Machine, who is standing on the left,
from the way he stands and does everything,
it's obvious that he's a hip-hop musician.
- Are they hip-hop musicians? - I'm really good at seeing this.
- Are you? - Yes. I think he could be...
a rapper who can sing very well.
He seems to be quite experienced on the stage.
I could tell by his confidence and energy.
I assume he might be a rapper.
He looks very confident too.
Exactly. He was very chill on the stage as well.
- I see, Lady Jane. - On the other hand, Game Boy's...
- Game Boy? - way of finishing the notes...
makes me think he's a boy.
The way he finishes the notes?
- Did he sound a bit like a boy? - Yes, so I agree with Ho Young.
He's an idol singer...
who loves hip-hop and rhythm and blues.
I think he's the lead vocal of his group.
That's what I think.
I also thought...
the way Game Machine sings might be the way he raps.
That's what I thought.
Then your opinion is similar to Lady Jane's.
- Yes, I agree with her. - You think he's a rapper.
- So you think he's a rapper. - But...
- about Game Boy, - Yes.
I think he might be the lead vocal in a boy band.
- That's what I thought. - A boy band?
- Exactly. - Yes.
Seung Kwan, do you agree with him?
Today, I was never...
sure about my guesses on the contestants.
- You're right. - I thought it's very difficult...
until I met him. I think I know exactly who he is.
- Do you? - Yes.
(I have no idea who you are.)
He's shaking his head as if I'm wrong.
He wants to deny that I know him.
He looks like he's acting as if he's nervous but he's actually nervous.
- Seung Kwan. - I have been there.
- You think you know him? - Yes.
Seventeen and VIXX seem to share the same opinion.
- So you agree with him. - He's wearing a mask,
- but I can see his eyes. - You can see his eyes?
- Yes. - I see.
Gu Ra, you look very serious.
You all have interesting opinions, but he's an indie musician.
- He's an indie musician? - Yes.
You think he's an indie musician?
Normal people wouldn't say something like, "I can't see the prompter."
I see.
(When he was introducing himself,)
Hello. I am...
I'm sorry.
(He told everyone that he couldn't see the prompter.)
Normally, people wouldn't say you have poor sight.
- So he's untamed. - Yes.
Once, John Park said,
"Hey, you broadcasting jerks."
- "You'd better work properly." - He's like him.
He wants others to arrange things to his taste.
Exactly. He's an indie musician.
I think the clothes he's wearing...
is what the staff forced him to put on.
- Is it? - I think when he goes back...
to the waiting room, he will tear the clothes up.
- He doesn't like it? - He normally doesn't wear...
- Because he doesn't like it? - clothes like that.
Indie musicians don't wear clothes like that.
They refuse to wear what others wear.
They wear leather clothes. I'm sure he's an indie musician.
All right. Some says they're rockers, some says they're rappers,
some says they're indie musicians, and some says they're idol singers.
People have different opinions.
Game Boy will now show you his real voice.
First, he will...
imitate Um Aing Ran's voice.
Please show us Um Aing Ran's voice.
Hello, I'm Um Aing Ran.
(Oh, my goodness.)
- Who are you? - Hang on a second.
It sounded more like Na Moon Hee.
- It's like Moon Hee's voice. - Could you imitate her famous line?
- "Sweet potato." - Could you say "sweet potato"?
Could you say "sweet potato" with that voice?
Young Gi's mom planted sweet potatoes in her garden.
Sweet potato!
Gosh, I'm not sure.
- It sounded like a man's voice. - If you do something,
you should do it properly.
Forget it. Just forget it.
- Forget it. - Forget it.
Let's skip this one.
Including Um Aing Ran's voice, how many specialties does he have?
He has two more.
- He has two more? - Yes.
I see.
- Please don't be disappointed. - I see.
He will imitate the sound of Lee Deok Hwa getting his face slapped.
(Just a couple of dozen minutes ago)
(Sang Myun entertained people by imitating Deok Hwa's voice.)
What does it sound like when Deok Hwa gets slapped on his face?
(He slaps his face.)
(Ouch)
That was...
(Geez, that was...)
(How dare you!)
(Was that your best?)
(Crying)
Not many people seem convinced.
I think he must have disappointed the writer a lot.
- Do you think so? - Yes.
There's one last thing left.
Don't be so hasty.
Lastly, he'll imitate the voice of the voice actor, Park Gi Ryang.
He will imitate Park Gi Ryang's voice.
(Park Gi Ryang is well-known for his unique nasal voice and accent.)
Please show us his voice.
Masked singers are everywhere.
They're here to beat the queen today.
They don't only have great singing skills but also great specialties.
- That's it. Thank you. - That was quite good.
- That was not bad. - This was the real one.
This is his specialty.
What he did earlier was just for fun. This is his real specialty.
Not many people freely take off their gloves like him.
Game Machine, are you already getting ready?
He's a little impatient.
His specialty is a coin trick.
The trick is called, "A coin that is against gravity".
- Will the coin float up? - Maybe it will float in the air.
Please start the trick with your spell.
A man against gravity.
(What is this old-fashioned spell?)
He's an indie musician.
- He's like an indie musician. - Look.
What?
(The coin moved upward.)
What?
- Did you see that? - What happened?
It went up. It went up.
- Did you see it? - Could you make the space wider?
Could you do it again for those who missed it?
- Gosh, how did he do that? - Goodness.
- What happened? - This is amazing.
That was amazing.
Please give him a round of applause.
He's a good magician.
(Game Machine doesn't let us down.)
It seems like Seong Ju doesn't...
- know his real voice either. - Why?
He flips out when contestants speaks with their real voice,
but he seems to not know him at all.
It's his first time seeing him.
- He looks flustered. - Are you talking about him?
- Yes. - I've heard his voice a lot.
All of you have heard his voice a lot too.
He is... Goodness, this is frustrating.
- You heard his voice so many times. - Where?
- Pardon? - From the radio?
- From songs? - You can hear his voice...
from so many TV shows.
Then he must be a voice actor.
He's not a voice actor.
Maybe he composes music for commercials.
You seem to have difficulty guessing their identities. Good.
Now, I will announce the result of the third match of Round One.
Let's see who the winner will be.
Let's check out the result right now!
(His voice is so catchy.)
(Game Machine's gestures are relaxed while his voice is addictive.)
(Game Boy sings with a powerful voice.)
(He sings rhythmically with his refreshing voice.)
Between Game Machine and Game Boy,
who will be the winner to move on to Round Two?
The winner is...
- The winner is... - The winner is...
Who is the winner?
I have no idea.
(Will Game Machine be the winner...)
(or will Game Boy be the winner?)
(What will the result be?)
Let's see who the winner is.
The winner is...
(Play with Your Right and Left Hand, Game Boy.)
Game Boy is the winner!
(Game Boy levels up.)
I told you.
(Whoever the winner is, it was a great match.)
The majority of regular panelists voted for Game Boy.
With the score of 56 to 43,
Game Boy moves on to the next round.
Please hurry back to the waiting room.
Please give him a round of applause.
Game Boy goes to Round Two.
In Round Two, I will show you my real abilities.
See you.
So who is he?
We will check it out through his solo performance.
Please give him a round of applause.
(His identity will be revealed with a solo performance.)
(Does his voice show that he's a rocker?)
(Or is he a hip-hop musician with unusual swag?)
(No, he must be in an indie band.)
(A familiar voice we've heard countless times?)
(Who is Game Machine?)
("Good" by Daybreak)
See?
- He must be a rocker. - No, he's in an indie band.
(Wow!)
(His clear and high-pitched voice stands out.)
(At that moment)
(I think I know who he is.)
(Really?)
(Let's go!)
(He honestly expresses his new, exciting love.)
(Game Machine's frank and bold confession)
(I love his voice.)
(This is exciting!)
Now, Game Machine, please take off your mask...
and reveal your face.
He is...
(Oh, my goodness!)
(Who are you?)
Reveal your face.
He is...
the vocalist of BYEBYESEA, who sang "Star Shower",
Namoo!
(It was Namoo, the singer.)
- You were right! - It's Namoo!
I was right!
Oh, my gosh.
You were right! She was right.
(Bong Sun mentioned him as he started singing.)
(Namoo has shown up on stage like magic.)
(I was right!)
(His voice sounds so familiar now.)
(It's good)
(Everyone is enjoying Namoo's performance.)
(It's good)
(As a veteran singer with 10 years of experience,)
(he's completely relaxed on stage.)
(Just like the gentle spring sunlight,)
(his warm voice fills your ears.)
(It's good)
(How exciting!)
(His high-pitched voice bursts through the melody.)
("Good" by Namoo, a song filled with refreshing energy)
(It was so good.)
Seong Ju gave us a big hint.
We've heard his voice countless times indeed.
Please say hello to our viewers.
Star shower, sha la la la
Hello, everyone.
I'm Namoo, the vocalist of BYEBYESEA.
All right.
(Dramas,)
(commercials,)
(and variety shows.)
(The popular song that has been on many TV shows for 9 years.)
(The real voice from "Star Shower")
(The vocalist of BYEBYESEA, an indie band with 10 years of experience)
(He sang soundtracks of dramas...)
(and also played a cameo role.)
(As a young emcee,)
(he showed off his cute charms.)
(The tickets to BYEBYESEA's solo concert were sold out.)
(Namoo is a vocalist who is versatile like a chameleon.)
We had no idea who he was,
but right before he took off his mask, Bong Sun suddenly...
shouted like she had been possessed.
She shouted, "BYEBYESEA!"
BYEBYESEA.
He's good.
BYEBYESEA?
Maybe you're right.
You're right!
(It's him!)
(Is it really him?)
She would've become a heroine if she had recognized him sooner.
- I know! - This doesn't count.
Right. It doesn't count.
You're cold-hearted.
I'm the one who said the band's name,
but Gu Ra said he mentioned it.
(Gu Ra tried to freeload.)
(When Bong Sun was excited...)
I was right!
(They were all dumbfounded.)
So these two started fighting while he was singing.
(Gosh)
I heard that you want to clear up...
the misunderstanding people have about "Star Shower".
Yes. Many people think...
this song is a theme song...
or a jingle played on the radio.
It's a full, four-minute song.
It's a four-minute song.
I hope you'll listen to it from the start to the end.
I think I read an article about how people think...
you earn a lot of royalties for that song,
but you actually don't earn much...
because only a part of it is played.
Really?
The copyright law in Korea is very well-established.
It makes me very happy.
- Really? That's great. - You still get paid...
- That's great. - even if it's short.
It's "Money Shower" whenever the song is played.
I'm glad to hear that.
(He's getting royalties properly.)
Your mother found out that you were going to be on our show?
- My mom loves this show. - King of Mask Singer?
She said, "Only great singers sing on that show."
"You will only humiliate yourself."
- Oh, my. Did she say that? - Yes.
- She said some mean things. - She did.
She probably wanted you to do well.
Mom, I already took off my mask. You can stop worrying.
She must've been anxious about you being on this show.
She's the only one who knows about this.
If you're the vocalist of a band,
it's hard to choose a different path...
when everybody else is walking on the same path.
It takes courage, and it's a very hard process.
But that's how you create your own genre of music.
Those who walk on their own paths achieve victory in the end.
Today, he showed us a pleasant stage which shone...
more brightly than the stars. It was Namoo.
Please give him a big hand!
Namoo.
(We hope you will achieve greater success.)
I believe my voice is also a musical instrument...
in our band.
I want to become an instrument that suits our band...
and keep making good songs.
Everyone, we will keep making...
good songs for you.
I hope you'll give us a lot of support...
and love our music. Thank you.
Play with Your Right and Left Hand, Game Boy...
defeated Namoo of BYEBYESEA and moved on to Round Two.
The last match of Round One.
She's the only singing queen in this area.
Don't You Know Who I Am?
Moulin Rouge!
I will captivate you with a sexy stage.
(She enters with a fancy mask.)
(Her looks catch everyone's eyes.)
She looks like an amazing singer.
She seems like someone who can be the next queen.
Let's meet her opponent.
Her stage will set your heart on fire.
The Great Gatsby's First Love, Daisy!
I'll show you a romantic stage like one's first love.
(She enters with crumpled Leonardo DiCaprio.)
(Who is she?)
She looks graceful.
Gosh, DiCaprio's face is folded in half.
(Their fancy dresses are revealed.)
Both of them are wearing glamorous dresses.
(They seem like strong contenders.)
(What kind of duet performance...)
(will these heroines of the movies show us?)
(Their fierce match...)
(will begin on this stage.)
(This song is...)
("Super Star" by Jewelry)
(Moulin Rouge sings skillfully and powerfully.)
1, 2, 3, 4!
(Daisy's voice softly hits your ears.)
(Oh, yes!)
(She has a perfectly clear voice.)
(The aura of Moulin Rouge makes the audience hold their breath.)
(The charisma of the two women overwhelms the studio.)
(House Band)
(The audience is helplessly fascinated...)
(by the charms of these two masked women.)
(Delicately and powerfully,)
(they professionally control their emotions.)
(Their voices sweep over the studio as one.)
(Their charms have raged like a storm.)
("Super Star" has been reborn with the voices of the two superstars.)
(They got us all.)
Brava!
Their voices are refreshing like waterfalls.
The last match of Round One just ended.
- Tell us your opinion, Young Seok. - Okay.
"Super Star" is my personal favorite song to begin with.
On top of that, Nicole Kidman and Carey Mulligan...
came out to sing this song.
I have to restrain myself a bit, but I'm too excited.
(I have to restrain myself a bit, but I'm too excited.)
- You're excited. - I loved it.
They performed in an amazing harmony,
- but they had differences. - Right.
First, Moulin Rouge's voice...
was like it was striking our cochleas.
Was it aggressive?
It was aggressive like a bomb.
(The Moulin Rouge-raid alarm)
She was flexible,
but put strength in her voice only when it was necessary.
Her voice didn't get aggressive at any time.
So I thought she might be a competitive candidate to be a queen.
What about Daisy?
But I voted for Daisy.
Hold on a second.
You just commented that she was competitive,
- but you voted for her? - He voted for Daisy.
Let me tell you about her charm.
Her voice was striking like a bomb at some times,
but she kept a whisper in there.
(There was a whisper in her striking voice.)
She was singing high notes in a refreshing way,
but I could sense the sorrow...
in her voice.
Is that her charm?
I think that's her charm.
You could sense the desperate emotion.
If she sings a different genre in another round,
I might be able to hear the charming whisper in her voice.
That made me want to hear more of her singing.
- So I voted for her. - I see.
Hyun Chul, do you agree with Young Seok?
He voted for Daisy,
and I understand why.
Really?
In some parts of Daisy,
I could hear the voice of Hye Eun Yi in her heyday.
- That's right. - Hye Eun Yi?
(With her clear and refreshing voice color,)
(Hye Eun Yi made her heyday in the 1970s.)
Young Seok is a huge fan of Hye Eun Yi.
(He admits to it.)
- He loves her voice. - When she sang high notes,
her voice went straight ahead.
But Moulin Rouge's voice went straight...
and got winded at the end.
Like this.
Like this?
That's how most rockers sing.
Rockers sing out straight,
then drop their voice at the end like this.
That's her singing style.
I wonder who sings this well among those people.
Like I always mention,
I wonder if it's Maya.
- Maya. - Maya.
She's in a dress.
She might feel so suffocated.
(That's right.)
This might feel uncomfortable for her.
She's has to jump up and down...
- while performing wildly. - She's the expressive type.
But she had to stand still as she performed.
- It must've been so suffocating. - She could use...
only half the stage because it was a duet performance.
Here's what I think.
About Moulin Rouge, I'm not sure if it's just me,
but her singing style felt like that of folk music.
- Folk music? - Yes.
Her hand gestures in the middle...
also seemed like folk music.
- It seemed traditional. - There's a trot singer...
who sang folk songs in the past.
Who is she?
- It's Ji Na. - Ji Na?
- Yu Ji Na. - Yu Ji Na.
She's about...
- that tall. - I see.
What do you think?
- It's plausible. - Ji Na.
Her hand gestures...
- seemed traditional. - It felt traditional.
(Like this?)
- Right, that. - Like this?
(Gu Ra has taken the bait completely.)
- Ji Na. - Yu Ji Na.
- I want to comment... - Go ahead, Seung Kwan.
- about Daisy. - Daisy.
No one seems to know exactly who she is.
But I think I know.
Really?
She's a member of a girl group.
And another member of that group appeared in the show...
and became popular.
- Is that so? - Shall I reveal the group title?
SPICA. I think she's one of the SPICA members.
(SPICA is a girl group that got disbanded in 2017.)
Some of the members came out before, and they're...
- Are they skilled singers? - Yes. They're known...
for their great singing abilities.
(Is she a member of SPICA?)
SPICA...
Kim Bo Hyung and Kim Bo A are in that group.
Bo Hyun and Bo A.
But Park Na Rae is also in that group.
- Na Rae? - Those are comediennes' names.
- But... - Kim Bo Hwa and Park Na Rae.
As far as I know, she was selected...
as 1 of the top 10 singers in the auditioning program.
- I heard a bit of her voice. - Is that right?
- Hello, it's nice to see you. - I see.
(Whom are you saying hello to?)
You think she's an idol.
What about Moulin Rouge? Any idea about her identity?
Right, I should've tried to guess her identity as well.
(Simpering)
- You could guess only one person? - It's not that I was indifferent.
- I think she's a musical actress. - I see.
I asked Kai...
if he was reminded of someone in the musical industry.
He only nodded his head.
So I think his opinion is similar to mine.
I see.
My opinion is about the same.
I think Moulin Rouge is a musical actress,
- who's my senior. - Do you think so?
I noticed some of her expressions...
- were like musicals. - Like what?
For example, she went like this...
then like this.
Like this.
- You know what I'm saying? - Is this a musical expression?
She sang like she was talking at some points.
She raised the tension and...
(Crying)
- Like she was talking. - Yes, like that.
- She released the tension. - That's right.
Her expressions were like those used in musicals.
She must be a musical actress then.
- And about Daisy, - All right.
- I think she's a bit young. - She's young?
- Yes. - Could you feel it from her voice?
Yes, a bit.
She has an absorbing charm.
Like Young Seok mentioned a while ago,
her voice is bewitching.
(He sensed a strange charm.)
You sensed the same from her voice.
- I love you. - "I love you"?
That's out of the blue.
It's time to check their specialties...
and get some hints regarding their identities.
Daisy will try to mimic a voice...
of a foreign movie dubbing.
It's a movie from the old times.
She'll mimic Dana Scully from "The X-Files".
Please start.
Mulder.
It's awesome.
Fantastic.
(That's a sexy version of Scully.)
Thank you.
(She wants to hear more.)
It'd be nice if you make it a bit longer.
Make it long, and do it confidently.
- It was very good. - You did well,
but please make it a bit longer.
Mulder. What do you want me to do more, Mulder?
This is all, Mulder.
That is great.
(Still angry)
Right. That was witty.
I think Daisy doesn't like anyone that pesters her.
I can tell.
It's time to hear Moulin Rouge's real voice now.
She prepared a conversation...
between Ok Hee and Zhu Bajie on the phone.
She'll do the voice imitation.
The phone is ringing.
Hello.
Is your dad there?
Could you wait for a second, sir?
Dad.
(Who is Ok Hee's dad?)
This is Shin Moon Sun.
He scored a goal.
(He supports Ok Hee, who wants to become a soccer player.)
(He appears whenever Ok Hee calls him.)
(Ok Hee's dad is Shin Moon Sun.)
- He scored a goal. - This is it.
Her dad suddenly appeared.
Her dad was Shin Moon Sun.
She copied the voices of three persons.
Daisy says she is so good at doing squats.
So she said she would maintain her balance in a squatting pose...
until Moulin Rouge finishes her specialty.
(My goodness.)
- It'll be really hard. - Seung Kwan, could you come out,
- Me? - and be a judge?
Okay.
Seung Kwan is the judge now.
Daisy, please go to the backstage,
and change into comfortable clothes so you can squat.
Moulin rouge's specialty is dancing.
It'll be a fierce match.
- Right. They'll be competitive. - Exactly.
One of them will dance and...
- I've seen those pants somewhere. - Gosh.
She's in baggy pants now.
This rod will be put on her laps,
and she will take her hands off of it.
And she will be considered to have failed...
even at the slightest ring of the bell.
- You try it too if you can. - I'll try it.
Moulin Rouge will show an elegant dance.
Please get ready for the squat.
I'll measure the time. Ready, set,
- go. Place the rod. - It's a piece of cake.
Please place the rod. Good.
- It's so easy. - You're stable now, aren't you?
- Her specialty started. - I could read a book.
- Good. - Start to dance quickly.
Moulin Rouge, I'll take your mic.
She prepared a very elegant dance today.
- Gosh. - I think she majored in ballet.
- First... - Just dance. What are you doing?
- Before she starts to dance... - Quickly.
Why do you talk so much? Just let her dance.
- Before she starts to dance, - What is she doing?
she has to warm up for a moment.
What can I do? She has to warm up.
She will warm up a bit now.
She needs music. Music, please.
For the warm-up.
She's going to warm up.
We should focus on Moulin Rouge's specialty.
Look at her elegant body moves.
I think she mastered ballet.
She is slightly warming up.
- It must be hard for Daisy. - Please tell me...
- as soon as the bell rings. - Daisy seems to be tortured.
Did you finish warming up? Okay. She is done with the warm-up.
She might do that for 20 minutes.
She will start to dance now.
The panelists are giving up 1 by 1.
Music, please.
(As soon as the music started, Bon Sun gives up.)
Daisy should hang in there.
She is doing good so far.
Moulin Rouge.
(You)
The music has suddenly changed.
(Daisy is struggling.)
(Moulin Rouge is immersed in dancing.)
She is not...
dancing ballet now.
It's "Amor Fati".
(She's having a hard time trying to hang in there.)
(I'm just going my way.)
This is it.
Daisy looks like she's in so much pain.
- Daisy, you can stand up. - She stood up.
It's over now.
- Did you measure the time? - Yes.
- Did you? - Yes.
Daisy collapsed.
Daisy looks exhausted.
She was so competitive that she held out until the end. How long was it?
It was 1 minute and 54 seconds.
- 1 minute and 54 seconds. - 1 minute and 54 seconds.
(You're wonderful.)
That is amazing. It's 1 minute and 54 seconds.
Now, I will announce the result...
of the last match of Round One.
Who will the winner be?
I'll now reveal the last winner.
(Powerful and refreshing singing skills)
(Moulin Rouge is like a master with explosive power.)
(Competing against her, here is another master.)
(Daisy expresses her charms with her clear and powerful voice.)
Who would be the last lucky one...
to move on to Round Two?
The winner is...
- The winner is... - The winner is...
(I want to know.)
The winner is...
(Which diva captivated the panelists?)
The last winner of Round One...
who will go against Game Boy is...
Moulin Rouge with an alluring voice...
versus Daisy with an enchanting voice.
Between the two masked singers,
who will be the lucky one?
The winner is...
(Don't You Know Who I Am? Moulin Rouge wins.)
Moulin Rouge won.
(Moulin Rouge makes a wonderful debut.)
I knew this would happen.
(But Daisy was so good too.)
It was 67 to 32.
Moulin Rouge wins and moves on to Round Two.
Please go to your waiting room quickly.
Please give her a big hand.
(The face of Daisy, who has a pure voice, will be revealed.)
Moulin Rouge moves on to Round Two.
In Round Two, I'll show you...
the sentimental and soft side of my performance.
Who is Daisy?
We will reveal her identity...
with a solo performance.
Please give her a round of applause.
(She has a heartrending sorrowful voice.)
(Her voice is like that of Hye Eun Yi in her prime.)
(Is she Park Na Rae of SPICA, the group with great singing skills?)
(She is captivating.)
(She also does witty voice imitations. Who is she?)
("Goodbye Tears" by Ivy)
(The piano is played gently.)
(Her pure voice embraces the sweet accompaniment.)
(Awesome)
(Amazed)
(My goodness. Her voice is so beautiful.)
(Marveling)
(She is such a wonderful singer.)
- Now, - She is a great singer.
Daisy, please take off your mask...
and reveal your face.
(Oh, my goodness.)
(Gosh)
Why?
(Why? Who is it?)
Who is it?
She is...
singer Yang Ji won, a former member of SPICA,
a group with great singing skills.
Oh, it's Yang Ji Won.
- My gosh. - For goodness' sake.
- You got it right. - For goodness' sake.
I was a little confused. I was partially right though.
I was partially right.
(She couldn't hide that she had great singing skills.)
(Her voice and smile are equally beautiful.)
(Ji Won is singing about the past when she tried hard for her dreams.)
(Today, she tries to move on.)
(Her voice moves on to a better tomorrow.)
(Goodbye, my past, my broken heart, and my tears)
(Her solo performance of "Goodbye Tears" was great.)
Thank you.
(You are truly amazing.)
(Bravo.)
She's really beautiful.
I love the song.
Both her voice and face are beautiful.
My goodness. I got it wrong.
Can you say hi to the viewers?
Hello.
I am Yang Ji Won, a former member of SPICA.
(She first debuted as an actress in 2008 at an early age.)
(She trained for 10 years to become a singer.)
(She almost became a member of T-ara and Five Girls,)
(but it was canceled.)
(In 2012, she finally debuted as a member of SPICA.)
(She was the most beautiful member of her group,)
(and she also sang very well with her clear voice.)
(In a drama, she played an honest and daring girl.)
(With her energetic voice,)
(she even challenged herself to become a musical actress.)
(SPICA suddenly disbanded,)
(but she gave another go at her dream by joining an audition show.)
(With her explosive performance, she passed the audition...)
(and secured her place in the debut group.)
(Ji Won is a persistent dreamer.)
She debuted 11 years ago.
- You debuted as an actress. - Yes.
Right. She's been a singer for seven years.
I heard you are making another debut soon.
(What?)
I joined a survival audition program,
and fortunately, I became one of the top nine girls.
So we will be releasing an album as a group in May.
Shall we give her a round of applause?
A lot of people love Ji Won.
A lot of people are proud of you for getting back on your feet again.
You want your aunts to watch your performance.
Why should your aunts watch your performance?
Since I was little,
- I haven't lived with my parents. - I see.
So my aunts raised me.
They love seeing me on TV.
It makes them realize that I am actually a celebrity.
They must be happy to see their niece on TV.
They will be so happy...
when they see me being on King of Mask Singer.
I haven't told them yet. I think they'll be surprised.
I guess there is more than one aunt?
- They are twins. - They are twins.
I have quite a few of them. I have four aunts.
(That's amazing.)
They are watching right now.
Say hello.
- Aren't you surprised? - Your niece is here.
Yes.
Ken said...
she is such a sweetheart.
(Ken knows that Ji Won is a good-hearted person.)
I can feel that too.
We did a few variety shows together.
She took good care of me every time.
I remember her like that.
Seung Kwan mentioned SPICA.
- Yes. - Yes.
I should've stopped after only mentioning SPICA.
I shouldn't have made a further guess.
I know all the members of SPICA.
That's how much I used to like them.
- Thank you. - So...
when I ran into them on a music show,
I nervously told them that I love their songs.
- That's all I could say. - You were nervous.
I know "Russian Roulette", "I'll be there", "Lonely", and more.
- You must've listened to them. - I know "You Don't Love Me" too.
You know that I am not lying, right?
Thank you so much. He is a member of Seventeen.
- Seventeen. - I am so grateful to him.
Right.
What kind of a singer do you want to be?
Please tell us.
(She's embarrassed.)
I am not unknown,
but I trained for a long time,
and that made me a bit of a coward.
- So... - It made you daunted.
Yes, I felt daunted.
So it was a big honor for me to perform here today.
From now on, I will let you hear my voice more often.
And I want to be a singer who can move your heart.
Yes. On King of Mask Singer,
she filled the stage with her own voice.
Please give a round of applause for Ji Won.
- Cheers. - Thank you.
Thank you.
(We hope you will continue to thrive!)
I am sad it's over. But...
(She sighs.)
Finally, I was coming here.
I was so happy.
I asked a lot of my friends.
I asked Eun Jung, Bo A, Bo Hyung,
and Kyun Sung about it.
They said I won't be nervous since I'll be wearing a mask.
But it wasn't true.
What were they saying?
It was my first time...
to get so nervous on stage.
Aunts, I think you must be so thrilled to see me on this show.
I will be even more active from now on.
Don't be sick. And let's live happily together...
for a long, long time.
(We will wish for lovely Ji Won's happiness.)
Next week.
(The contestants reveal their hidden talents.)
(The panelists get shocked...)
(by how much they have improved.)
(The queen is confronted with strong rivals.)
(But the queen will not be beaten easily.)
(Will they be able to beat the invincible queen?)
(It will be tense.)
(The singers will showcase their cute talents...)
(while the competition takes unexpected turns and shocks you.)
(It will be revealed next week.)
