Previously on King of Mask Singer.
The scent of April's spring spread across the set.
The singers captured both men and women's hearts with their talents.
The singers of various genres and generations came out.
The revealing of their identity was both pleasant and shocking.
And four talented masked singers...
are advancing towards the throne.
It's Actually Genuine, Pricey Pottery.
Strike the Closing Bell, Master Carillon.
I Won't Fall Off, Cherry Blossom Girl.
I Can Protect You Better Than Anyone, Royal Guard.
Finally, the 75th Final Match begins.
Will Swordswoman be able to win for the fifth time?
It begins right now.
(King of Mask Singer)
This is the first match of Round Two, Semi-finals.
This masked singer beat the singer, Lee Michelle,
with his high-quality voice that can't be evaluated.
It's Actually Genuine, Pricey Pottery.
(He's got the voice as great as a genuine cultural heritage.)
(He walks out in an imposing manner.)
(We've been waiting for you.)
He's got the luxurious voice.
We have no idea who he is, do we?
I am curious.
(His emotions are as smooth as flowing water.)
(Pricey Pottery is...)
(a talented musician without a doubt.)
(When he takes off his mask,)
(we won't recognize him right away.)
(But we will soon recognize him for his hit songs.)
I have a feeling he's going to be someone like that.
(Is he a singer-songwriter?)
(Or is he an idol?)
(He's got unique impersonation skills.)
(And as a bonus, he can dance powerfully too.)
(Is he a rookie idol who is not very well-known?)
Is he a rookie idol?
(Pricey Potter's identity is in the dark.)
(One thing we can be sure of...)
(is that he is very talented.)
(To beat Master Carillon...)
(and to approach the queen,)
(he will reveal his true talent.)
(The opening is impactful.)
(He surprises everyone with his choice of song.)
("Mirotic" by TVXQ)
See? I told you he sings like someone from SM Entertainment.
He sings like someone from SM Entertainment.
(He performs with a beautiful voice which is ordinary yet sweet.)
(His charming voice is slowly revealed.)
(He's quite good, isn't he?)
(Let's dive into his expensive charms!)
(He's coming!)
(Everyone is getting immersed into his infinite charm.)
(He even raps perfectly.)
(He dances to the beat.)
(His fantastic ad-lib mesmerizes us.)
(He fearlessly shows off the talent he's been hiding.)
(He sang "Mirotic" with his own interpretation.)
(We are enchanted.)
Bravo.
He's really amazing.
Who is he?
He's amazing.
Contending against him...
is this masked singer who beat the actress, Lee Hyun Kyung.
He will ring the bell of victory once again.
Strike the Closing Bell, Master Carillon.
(Strike the Closing Bell, Master Carillon.)
(Victory is mine today.)
(Let's go, Master Carillon.)
(He looks majestic.)
(We've been waiting for you.)
He's just as good.
I am excited to watch him.
(His first performance was as sweet as a dream.)
(He gently whispered to us.)
(And he captured our heart with his sweet voice.)
(He's got the voice a king would love.)
(His unique voice and the vibration of his voice...)
(gave him the nickname, Cho Yong Pil Junior.)
(From Kim Jong Kook...)
(to KCM, he impersonated various artists.)
(His overflowing talent raised people's expectations for him.)
(Everyone's attention is focused on Master Carillon.)
(Will he be able to beat the strong opponent...)
(and challenge the queen?)
(It's time for Master Carillon's voice to resonate.)
("The Road" by Paul Kim)
(She's impressed.)
(No way.)
(His low voice is breathtakingly charming.)
(Oh, dear.)
(He sings with a low voice...)
(as if he's chanting.)
(The panelists have fallen for him.)
(It's too lovely.)
(He expresses the sadness...)
(calmly yet desperately.)
(His delicate emotion moves our heart.)
My goodness.
(They all clap together.)
(House Band)
(When you feel lost in reality,)
(you want to get closer to your dream.)
(He sings...)
(with a determined voice.)
(Although he's afraid,)
(he has to walk on the road.)
(Master Carillon sang "The Road", cheering everyone who dreams.)
(Master Carillon sang "The Road"...)
(to cheer on those who are chasing their dreams.)
(This is so moving.)
(This is amazing.)
Gosh, that was nice.
Goodness. It's so sad.
Now, I'm not sure which one I should vote for.
The first match of Round Two is now over.
Young Seok, how did you like their performances?
Pricey Pottery has an amazing skill of singing.
It seems like he has mastered how to make it sound nice...
even when he stresses the notes.
He's basically very talented.
I think he has a lot of potential.
As for Master Carillon,
he's not an amazing singer,
but his performance somehow touches my heart.
That's what his performance was like.
In my opinion, Master Carillon...
is an amazing singer.
- Is he? - Yes.
Young Seok said he's not an amazing singer, but...
He said he wasn't that good.
You can choose to sing this song...
only when you're confident about your falsetto skills.
The chorus of the song is supposed to be performed with falsetto only.
Despite of that, he chose to sing this song.
That means once he releases his album,
he will top all music charts.
Pricey Pottery...
beat Lee Michelle last week and moved on to Round Two.
You're right. He beat her by nine votes.
At the very moment, I felt a bit guilty.
Lee Michelle is such a good singer.
I felt bad that Pricey Pottery beat her.
(Sad)
I thought we were all fooled by him.
- And after his solo performance... - I was mad at him then,
but after watching this performance,
I realized Michelle...
She deserved it?
I wouldn't put it that way.
I'd like to say 52 people made the right decision.
In Round One, one of the Twice members said...
he sounded like U-Know Yunho from TVXQ.
So I thought he must be from SM Entertainment.
And I did some research on NCT.
They have 20 members.
- Really? - Really?
This group will help you prevent getting Alzheimer.
(Peekaboo)
(Who is this?)
(I have no idea.)
(While guessing the names of the members,)
(you can activate your brain to the full extent.)
- There are 18 of them. - Are they 18?
I counted them wrong.
Anyway, a member of them is named Mark.
- Yes. - He's a rapper.
He was on "High School Rapper" with my son, Dong Hyun.
Since he's a rapper, he's off the list.
- Now, there are 17 of them. - He should be one of the 17.
What about Master Carillon?
I didn't care much about Master Carillon.
I'm sorry.
I was so busy with doing research on NCT.
I tried to memorize the names of all 17 members,
but it turned out I couldn't. I'm sorry, Master Carillon.
(Hesitant)
I said the man on the right might be U-Know Yunho.
Was it the man on the right?
(He barked up the wrong tree.)
- Seong Ju. - Yes.
I have to correct myself.
The person whom Twice members thought might be U-Know Yunho...
was Master Carillon.
- Was it? - Yes.
Hang on a second. That changes everything.
Sometimes, you go through the wrong process...
but end up with the right answer anyway.
My guess might have started with the wrong person,
but the process was all right.
I will stick to the process, okay?
- I think he's a member of NCT. - I see.
Then let's ask Twice again.
You had mixed opinions about...
whether Pricey Pottery was an idol singer or not.
What do you think now after today's performance?
There's someone who comes to my mind,
but I can't think of his name.
Is he a member of NCT?
No, he's not.
He's not NCT?
- No, he's not. - Let us guess.
He used to be a successful male solo singer.
He's not an idol singer, but a successful singer?
Yes, he was popular when I was in elementary school.
- That means... - Which year is that?
About 5 years ago? About 5 to 6 years ago.
You were in elementary school five years ago?
- She was born in 1999. - I meant 7 years ago.
It's seven years ago.
She was born in 1999. It is possible.
Last week, Mina and Momo had a different opinion.
They said he must be an idol singer.
I feel like he's an idol singer who belongs to YG Entertainment.
"YG Entertainment"?
Yes, the gestures he made during the performance...
and the way he dances...
- Is this how they dance in YG? - Yes.
If he belongs to YG Entertainment, he might be a member of iKON.
- Are you sure he's not NCT? - Yes.
She thinks he's not NCT.
She thinks he's an idol singer who belongs to YG Entertainment.
(Is Pricey Pottery a member of iKON?)
And you said Master Carillon's voice was similar to U-Know Yunho's.
Yes. I thought he might be him,
but he seems to be a little too short to be him.
You think he's a little too short to be him.
Compared to U-Know Yunho.
- You think he's too short? - Yes.
Good. To help you guess their identities,
we'll show you their specialties.
Pricey Pottery will imitate other singers.
He'll imitate Luciano Pavarotti speaking an alien language.
Please show us.
(He sings in a made-up language.)
(It sounds like aliens' language.)
(It's like a magical spell.)
(It doesn't make any sense.)
That's it.
I love his voice.
The lyrics were poor,
but he's a great singer.
- So it wasn't bad. - It sounded good.
Now, it's Master Carillon's turn.
He's going to show you dance moves...
that are a fusion of oriental spirit and western soul.
Give us the music for the fusion dance!
(A piano melody echoes on the stage.)
He's playing a piano.
The piano keyboards seem to be over him and next to him.
Look at that.
(It's hard to take our eyes off his dance.)
(Master Carillon's heart breaks to hear about his ex-girlfriend.)
(My goodness.)
(He always awaits her.)
(He sadly dances and touches our hearts.)
(With a bunch of flowers he always wanted to give her in his arms,)
(he can't help but droop because he can't turn back time.)
(That was fantastic!)
- He danced to Bruno Mars' music. - Seong Ju.
I changed my mind. He's a member of NCT.
- He's from NCT? - He's from NCT.
I changed my mind.
The three members of Twice seem surprised.
They're all standing while others are staying seated.
Momo, his dance wasn't bad, right?
When he was dancing to "Cheer Up", I thought he was a horrible dancer.
(Master Carillon's dance footage from last week was cut out.)
(Master Carillon was struggling so much then.)
(Struggling)
(My goodness.)
(They even demonstrated the dance moves to help him.)
- But today, he was a great dancer. - I know.
Then shouldn't he show us the dance he messed up last week again?
- Proper dance moves. - Dance properly.
(Master Carillon starts moving his body right away.)
(Let's dance.)
(He shows fancy dance moves.)
Gosh, look at him go.
It's different from last week.
How did he hold this back last week?
(Who is Master Carillon?)
Who could he be?
(Curious)
He's amazing.
It must've been really hard for you to hold this back.
His expression...
- was like a piece of art. - It was artistic.
I wonder if he majored in modern dance.
Let's keep that in mind for now.
He might have majored in modern dance.
He says he's good at shooting too.
He will show us his shooting skills.
Maybe he has finished his military service.
We have a gun here.
Isn't that...
These are the bullets. These won't hurt if you get shot.
Now, shoot!
(Ready, shoot!)
(He missed it.)
(The bullet bounces off toward the audience.)
Wait a second. Excuse me.
Are you okay?
Well. Please be careful.
It could have been dangerous. Let's try again.
(He gives it another shot.)
(He hit it!)
(It hit the target.)
He aimed and hit the target.
Let's do it once more.
All right, sir. Wait.
(I'll shoot you if you move.)
Hey, what are you doing?
What are you doing? You startled me.
Let's set the target first.
This one? Okay.
He has set the target this time.
I'll block it.
Do you want to go again? You have more bullets, right?
All right. Which one?
This one?
(Hit)
(Master Carillon shows off his true ability now.)
- Let's give him a big hand. - He's good.
He's a marksman.
Bong Sun says...
he must often play shooting games after drinking.
- Really? - Yes.
While Master Carillon is a great shooter,
Pricey Pottery is a master of punching.
He must've gone to arcades often.
We spent a lot of money...
and borrowed a punching game machine.
Please bring it in.
We need to insert some coins.
It's 20 cents per game.
20 cents.
(Startled)
That surprised me.
(He's so funny.)
All right. Gosh, it startled me.
Okay. There should be a record we can compare.
Master Carillon, if it's okay,
please make a record, and he will beat it.
Master Carillon will set a record first.
Please punch it!
(Punching hard)
(Surprised)
It looks like he's done that before.
The record is 716.
He's strong.
He's strong. His record is 716.
Now, Pricey Pottery. You're using your left hand?
- Oh, he's left-handed. - Left-handed?
We should think of singers who are left-handed.
Pricey Pottery! Let's go!
Pricey Pottery!
(He launches his punch.)
Pricey Pottery!
He punched it.
I don't think he hit it right.
It's 720!
His record is four points higher.
He barely won.
Seong Ju, can you try it?
I'm a bit disappointed.
Right. He won by a narrow margin.
- It's just four points. - Yes.
I'll give you one more chance.
Good. 720 isn't a very high record.
It isn't enough indeed.
Pricey Pottery, please punch it!
Why do I always have to do things like this today?
Go!
(Punching hard)
- There! That's what we wanted. - He hit it right this time.
He hit it right.
It's his punch. It's going over 600.
It's over 700...
It's 706.
Wait. I pressed my body against the machine.
What don't we ask Master Carillon to try again?
- Master Carillon? - It's Pricey Pottery's specialty,
but if Master Carillon is better, it should be his specialty.
- Really? - Yes, specialties are transferable.
- Master Carillon. - If Master Carillon is better,
let's make this his specialty.
If it's over 720,
you can make this specialty as one of your own.
All right.
Master Carillon, please punch it.
(Punching hard)
- Oh, gosh. He's obviously stronger. - He's strong.
It's going over 600.
It's... It's 724!
- It's 724! - It's his specialty now.
It's his specialty now.
- My gosh, Pricey Pottery! - It's Master Carillon's specialty.
The punching game turned out to be...
- Master Carillon's specialty. - That's right.
- Specialties are transferable. - Right.
Now, I will announce the result...
of the first match of Round Two, Semi-finals.
Whose voice does the audience want to hear again?
Who's the winner of this match? Let's find out now!
Who will move on to Round Three?
(With powerful sounds and a charming voice,)
(Pricey Pottery's performance was fascinating.)
(Master Carillon fought him back with his sweet voice.)
(With a sorrowful and desperate voice,)
(he captured everyone's hearts.)
Between Pricey Pottery and Master Carillon,
who will be the winner of this match?
The winner is...
- The winner is... - The winner is...
(She's nervous.)
(It was a close match between two men.)
(Which masked singer will get closer to the throne?)
Who will be the first one to move on to Round Three?
Let's find out the result. The winner is...
- The winner is... - The winner is...
Pricey Pottery won!
(Pricey Pottery won Round Two!)
(He's one step closer to the throne!)
That's right.
(Sadly, Master Carillon lost.)
What's the score?
The score is 64 to 35.
All right, Pricey Pottery.
You moved on to Round Three.
Please go back to your waiting room. Let's give him a big hand.
Pricey Pottery moved on to Round Three.
I'll try my best to perform well in Round Three as well.
I hope you'll enjoy it.
He's a great singer and a dancer.
Let's find out who he is.
Please come to the back.
Now, Master Carillon, please take off your mask...
and reveal your face.
(He's not an incredible singer.)
(He is an incredible singer.)
(The experts had different opinions about him.)
(He's shorter than U-Know Yunho.)
(Artistic movements)
(Master Carillon is a natural-born dancer.)
(Is he someone who studied modern dance?)
Reveal your face.
(Screaming)
(Shocked)
They're screaming loudly.
- What is it? - Is it NCT?
He must be an idol singer.
He is...
Lee Ho Won, the all-round entertainer...
who can sing, dance, and act!
- Lee Ho Won? - You were right.
Oh, my gosh!
- You were right. - You were right.
Did you know who he was?
- Yes. - Mina knew.
I knew it!
(It's great to see you.)
Please say hello to our viewers.
Hello, it's been a long time. I'm Lee Ho Won.
All right.
(The powerful rapper on stage)
(He draws everyone's attention...)
(with his intense dance moves and charisma.)
(He's also a great singer with a mellow voice.)
(He made himself recognized as an actor in "Reply 1997".)
(Showing amazing emotional acting,)
(he's turning himself into a charming actor...)
(as he works with many actors.)
(With his delicate and solid acting, he also starred in a movie...)
(and won the best new actor award.)
(He's growing up to be a versatile artist...)
(as he also started to perform in musicals.)
(A great all-round entertainer...)
(who can sing, dance, and act.)
(Lee Ho Won, a charming man who loves to challenge himself)
You performed on this big stage all by yourself.
How did you feel?
Actually, I've never sung an entire song by myself on a TV show before.
I was really nervous.
I could hear my own voice shaking, so I was a bit upset.
But the song I chose to sing today...
has the lyrics that are just like my own feelings,
- so I'm glad about that. - I see.
- You're working as an actor too. - That's right.
Some people think you're now an actor,
- not a singer. - Yes.
I suppose that misunderstanding came from the fact...
that there are only actors in my agency,
but I'm working hard as a singer too.
I recently released a new album.
You released a solo album.
I think Mina knew it was Ho Won.
Mina. Did you know it was him?
After watching him dance,
I kept trying to think about good dancers.
- Right before he took off his mask, - Right before?
I said that he might be Ho Won.
(Right before the announcement of the result)
I think it's Ho Won. Maybe I'm wrong.
- Yes. - I was right.
- Really? - Yes.
Can we see his dance moves one more time?
It was really cool.
(They want to see him dance again.)
(It's exciting to see him dance again.)
- Of course. - It was very touching.
He will probably do better without the mask.
He was wearing a mask earlier.
Music, please!
(He dances to the same music as before.)
(He's so cool.)
(It's the same music, but his dance looks totally different.)
(Falling into the music, he improvises a dance.)
(It feels like watching a dance show.)
All right.
(That's art itself.)
(It's just admirable.)
I thought it was a fixed choreography,
but the dance seems to be totally different.
- It was an improvised dance. - Right?
I know. I'm so glad we asked him to dance again.
Many people are looking forward to your performance in the future.
I personally like this show very much,
but I couldn't fully enjoy it because I was too nervous.
I'd like to be a panelist...
next time.
- You'd like to be one of them. - I'd like to.
(He wants to visit the show again.)
You'd like to make guesses from over there.
That's about it...
for my future plans.
I see.
All right.
I think I get his point.
He acts, but he originally loves music.
He's a musician.
And many people admit...
that his dancing ability is great too.
I hope you keep your amazing musical ability...
and make good music with it.
His singing ability was hidden behind his dancing skills.
With his hidden sweet voice,
he showed off his singing skills today.
Give him another round of applause.
Thank you.
(We're rooting for his future activities.)
It feels so refreshing.
To be honest, I think many people...
are not aware of my voice.
I decided to challenge myself on this show...
in hopes to let people know more about my voice.
If they search and listen to my songs...
after watching my performance today,
I'll be really thankful.
If you reverse my name, it becomes an exclamation in Korean.
I'd like people to feel good when they hear my name.
Strike the Closing Bell, Master Carillon...
was me, Lee Ho Won.
As the result of Round Two,
It's Actually Genuine, Pricey Pottery...
won against Ho Won and advanced to Round Three.
It's the second match of Round Two.
She won against Na Young of Pristin.
Her music makes people want to hold hands and listen to it.
I Won't Fall Off, Cherry Blossom Girl.
(I Won't Fall Off, Cherry Blossom Girl.)
(It's time to walk on a flowery road.)
Her identity...
- is in total mystery too. - I'm so curious.
I'm curious.
I wonder how she will sing.
(Her charming voice calls for spring.)
(She has a sweet and clear voice.)
(But the panelists have guessed that she's not a singer.)
(Is she Lee Sang Hwa, the speed skater?)
(Is she Jung Da Rae, the swimmer?)
(But I think she's a singer.)
(She's 100 percent a singer if they look only at her ability.)
(She's got an extraordinary specialty as well.)
(Her identity is going more and more in mystery.)
(Now, it's time for her to show her real voice.)
(Her mysterious identity...)
(makes the audience more curious about her stage.)
(What kind of flower will she bloom this time?)
("I Miss You" by Soyou)
(Immersed)
(Her voice is sorrowful unlike the previous round.)
(She sings for deeper sentiments this time.)
Her voice is fit for a chanson.
(Her song is like the end of a lonely spring...)
(with cherry blossoms falling down.)
(She sings so good.)
(They could sense the sorrow in each and every breath of her.)
(Cherry Blossom Girl's "I Miss You" was sentimental.)
(And the sentiments linger in their hearts.)
How classy.
It's good.
But I don't think this cherry blossom will bloom again.
(My goodness.)
Wasn't this expression so poetic?
Against her...
is the masked singer who won against Ju Byeong Jin.
He's the trustworthy bodyguard for your ears.
I Can Protect You Better Than Anyone,
Royal Guard.
(I Can Protect You Better Than Anyone, Royal Guard)
(I'll protect you all.)
(Manly)
(They love to see him.)
(I love you.)
He's the strong candidate today.
I can't wait.
His performance last week was amazing too.
His voice itself is wonderful.
(They fall for him the moment they listen to his voice.)
(His voice is sweet and sorrowful.)
(Is it obvious that he'll make it up to the final round?)
(His voice color is like Vietnamese coffee.)
(It's sweet when he sings low notes,)
(and it's bitter when he sings high notes.)
(He showed off his talents with a pleasant specialty too.)
(He's the charming masked singer.)
(It's time for him to show the audience his voice alone.)
(He's in charge of protecting the listeners' ears.)
(With what kind of music will he satisfy their ears?)
(While his rival, Cherry Blossom Girl, is threatening him,)
(he has to safely guard the audience's ears.)
("Fool" by Park Hyo Shin)
(Even his humming is different.)
He chose such a masterpiece.
(His song selection makes them more excited.)
(How will he pull off singing this masterpiece?)
(His mellow voice moistens up the studio.)
(Amazed)
(His desperate voice is so heartbreaking.)
(My heart aches.)
(He couldn't pull out everything from his heart yet.)
(The heartrending one-sided love can't be expressed.)
(His delicate voice color embroiders the melody.)
(The audience has fallen deep into the sea of emotions.)
(His sorrowful emotions are about to burst like bubbles.)
(He is really good.)
(That's enough)
(For me)
(He melodiously sang "Fool", a song about one-sided love.)
(It was incredible.)
- My goodness. - I listened intently.
He transformed.
He has a nice voice.
It's deep in a right way.
I bet he was active in the early 2000s.
The second match of Round Two came to an end.
Young Seok.
Royal Guard let us know that men sound the best with a low voice.
(I agree.)
While a high voice is exhilarating,
a low voice carries weight.
However, I like the heaviness of his voice.
It's the heaviness you get...
when you use a mug after using a paper cup.
(He enjoys it.)
- The heaviness. - You feel it in your hands.
- It feels luxurious. - That's right.
He has that right amount of weight.
To define Cherry Blossom Girl with one sentence, I will say...
she sings the loneliness of the fall with the beauty of spring.
How poetic.
When she sang...
she made even the resonance a part of her song.
Cherry Blossom Girl is a cherry blossom...
that has begun to wilt.
Since her performance was very sad, I felt like she won't bloom again.
Why do you say that?
It was like love that won't come back.
Bong Sun, you must be lonely.
Yes, I am.
I almost shed tears.
At the end of Cherry Blossom Girl's performance,
cherry blossoms scattered on the screen.
Bong Sun tried to catch them.
Bong Sun moved her hands in the air to catch them.
I felt like catching them would make me catch love.
That's why I couldn't help but reach out.
If Bong Sun feels sad,
she should just cry.
Didn't you criticize me for crying before?
- He said it's annoying. - That's right.
No, I didn't.
- I think she should cry. - I see.
I suggest that she excretes her emotions.
"Excrete"? Shouldn't you say I should express my emotions?
It's only a word.
I think Bong Sun should cry.
- She felt sad. - She almost shed tears.
Last week, many panelists said that she isn't a singer.
While they said that she is an athlete in the national team,
one person was firm in his disagreement.
The person who said that she is a singer...
- was Hyun Chul. - That's right.
You were certain that she is a singer.
It's true. She is a singer.
The performance she gave today made it certain.
When they sing a note,
some people don't put their accent into the beginning.
They put their accent into the end.
It doesn't go like, "Ah."
(Singing)
It goes like this.
That's how she sang.
That's why I thought she is a musical singer...
or someone who specializes in theater music.
As for Royal Guard,
"Fool" by Park Hyo Shin is a very difficult song to sing.
Even talented singers find it difficult.
However, his singing skills...
and breathing techniques...
made his performance transcend the original song.
(His performance was beyond perfect.)
A lot of men think Park Hyo Shin's songs are easy,
but they get humiliated when they try to sing them.
You don't know whether to choose your chest voice...
or falsetto.
He overcame that aspect perfectly.
(He overcame that aspect perfectly.)
- Ji Suk. - It's hard, right?
It's hard, right? Your face is turning dark.
You are in the dark, right?
I thought she was an athlete in the national team.
However, listening to her solo performance...
She is a beauty.
Really? Did her performance reveal her beauty?
I closed my eyes and listened to her song.
I think she is the most beautiful contestant.
(She must be a beauty.)
- The most beautiful contestant. - She is a great beauty.
I see.
I mentioned someone during his performance.
- Shin Hye Sung. - He mentioned Shin Hye Sung.
- Shin Hye Sung. - Shin Hye Sung was active...
in the early 2000s.
I think his voice would sound that way...
if he prepared himself to come here.
He was active in the early 2000s.
The way he is standing...
also reminds me Shin Hye Sung.
It somehow does that.
When we are set on an identity,
we find a connection in everything the masked singer does.
He is imitating Shin Hye Sung.
He is imitating Shinhwa.
- Doesn't Shinhwa stand that way? - He is on the older side.
- Can you imitate Kim Dong Wan? - Kim Dong Wan.
(Does he want me to pose?)
(The perfect resemblance)
- Can you imitate Jun Jin? - Jun Jin.
Jun Jin.
(He swiftly imitates Jun Jin.)
He is knowledgeable.
Although they have shown us incredible performances...
and funny movements,
we are not saying much...
- because we are in the dark. - Is that so?
Yes. Even the audience is discouraged.
We need to have some ideas to make a guess.
We need to know the pointers...
to pick up the pen.
- He's right. - We don't know anything.
Then I will give you a hint.
The person...
who should know the two of them is in the dark.
That's why the guess...
- has become harder. - He or she wouldn't recognize...
who they are even with a hint.
I don't know who that person is,
but he or she wouldn't even recognize that hint.
- Each... - Who is that person?
Each one of you should think...
that you know these masked singers to get the answer.
There is a panelist...
who should know the two of them.
Who is that dull-witted person?
- Tell us that much. - Okay.
- We should make that person... - Let me talk to that person.
kneel and hold up their hands for five minutes.
- What? - Is it me?
- It isn't you. - It isn't me, right?
It isn't you.
Thank goodness.
They will show you specialties they didn't show last week.
First, Cherry Blossom Girl...
will imitate the way people say their names.
This one is a man.
Choi Baek Ho.
Let us hear Choi Baek Ho's voice.
Busan Choi Baek Ho
Let's end it here.
She is imitating how people say their names.
Busan Choi Baek Ho.
(Who is she?)
Bolbbalgan4. Let's hear it.
Pinching, biting, Bolbbalgan4
Let's end it here.
(I see.)
Bolbbalgan4.
The last one is Lim Ju Ree.
Let's hear it.
I truly love
Lim Ju Ree
Let's end it here.
- Lim Ju Ree. - Lim Ju Ree.
Choi Baek Bo, Bolbbalgan4, and Lim Ju Ree.
Seong Ju,
which one of us should know them? Tell us that much.
When Cherry Blossom Girl imitated other singers,
I looked at that person.
- But that person has no idea. - I knew it.
- Is it Yoon Seok? - What?
It's time to check out Royal Guard's specialty.
Royal Guard.
Royal Guard prepared a dance.
He prepared a dance for "Shark Family".
Music, please.
Look at the way he carries himself.
(Royal Guard revs up to the beat.)
(The baby shark dances.)
(People love the dancing baby shark.)
(He dances gracefully in the sea.)
(It's daddy shark.)
(People fall for the strong daddy shark.)
(The introduction ends.)
(He charges forward.)
(Jumping)
(He hangs on to Seong Ju like an orangutan.)
(Cherry Blossom Girl is calm.)
He is cute.
(You did a good job.)
It was a cute performance.
I am sure children will love the dance for "Shark Family".
Twice, can you do the dance?
(Twice, can you do the dance?)
Can you do a relay dance?
Give them a big hand.
They are the only ones who can do it.
Music, please.
(They get ready.)
All right. They will copy Royal Guard's moves.
(The baby shark is upgraded into a cuter one.)
(His heart skips a beat.)
My gosh.
(The flexible mommy shark dances gently.)
My goodness.
It's the daddy shark.
(She dances hard.)
(Bursting into laughter)
(We love you, Dad.)
You're the daddy shark, Mina.
All together.
(The mommy shark and baby shark start dancing with the daddy shark.)
Please give them a big hand.
Thank you so much, Twice.
- They're Twice. - Thank you.
- We love you, Twice. - They're so beautiful.
Thank you, Twice.
They danced to the song in relay.
We just saw their cheerful dance moves,
but I still feel empty.
- Because you don't know them? - We have no idea.
You have no idea?
I think we should apply the rules flexibly now.
- We have no clue now. - You really think so?
Let me tell you one thing.
Cherry Blossom Girl says one of you is supposed to recognize her by now.
She just told me that.
- I'm looking at that person now. - In that case,
you should just tell us who it is then.
That person doesn't even know if you're talking about him or her.
If you still don't recognize her after seeing her specialty, I will.
You said...
she sounds like a singer of Korean traditional songs.
She'll sing BTOB's song in a folk song version.
- Is it Seo Eun Kwang? - Is it me?
Who is she?
She'll sing the folk song version. Let us hear it.
("Missing You" is a sweet ballad song.)
Here we go!
I spent a whole day missing you
(She sings "Missing You" in a familiar voice.)
(Waiting for you to recognize me,)
(I spent...)
(a whole year.)
(You punk.)
That's it.
What was that?
(The suspects are having a meltdown.)
I think it's me.
Did you enjoy it, Eun Kwang?
(What?)
What was that?
- Did you like it? - Who is she?
It was excellent. She sings great.
So is it Eun Kwang?
- I guess it's me. - What?
I'm the one who's supposed to recognize her.
No.
It might not be me, right?
Which one of you think she's talking about you?
Excuse me.
Is this "Stage of Friendship" or something?
If you think this is your friend's voice,
come up to the stage now.
(Stage of Friendship in King of Mask Singer)
We should guess who the masked singer is.
We're not supposed to guess her friend here.
I'll tell you.
- This person should recognize her. - Who is it?
It's Hyun Chul.
- I knew it would be him. - I can't believe this.
(Hyun Chul was cluelessly sitting there.)
(What?)
(It was me.)
I knew it'd be him.
He doesn't even recognize a singer who sang his song.
He's just unbelievable.
When Cherry Blossom Girl came here,
she said Hyun Chul should recognize her voice.
- He doesn't know her. - He has no idea.
We lost. I'm sorry.
He has no idea.
(Who on earth is she?)
(I got it!)
What? He just clapped his hands.
I got it!
All right then.
I'll show you the result then.
Let's find out the winner of Round Two.
Who will move on to Round Three?
Cherry Blossom Girl with a clear, emotional voice.
And Royal Guard with a magical voice that makes your heart pound.
I'll now reveal...
the winner of this match.
(The winner will be revealed now.)
(Her voice is perfect for a spring day.)
(Cherry Blossom Girl with a lyrical and emotional voice)
(You'd want to go on a date with him on a spring day.)
(Royal Guard with a sweet voice)
Between Cherry Blossom Girl and Royal Guard,
who will win this match?
The winner is...
- The winner is... - The winner is...
I bet it was a close match.
We don't have a clue who will win this match.
(Is it Cherry Blossom Girl with a pure voice?)
(Or Royal Guard with a gentle voice?)
(Who is the winner?)
The winner of this match is...
- The winner is... - The winner is...
The winner is...
Royal Guard. Royal Guard wins.
(He successfully defended people's eardrums...)
(and moved on to Round Three.)
(They're sorry to see the end of the cherry blossom festival.)
Royal Guard won by a comfortable margin.
The score is 79 to 20.
With a score of 79 to 20, he moved on to Round Three.
Please go back to your waiting room.
Please give him a round of applause.
Royal Guard moved on to Round Three.
Everyone, I'll see you again on Round Three. Bye.
(See you soon.)
She has a sorrowful voice.
Hyun Chul is supposed to recognize her voice.
Please move to the back of the stage.
Now, Cherry Blossom Girl, please take off your mask...
and reveal your face.
(She has a pretty shoulder line.)
(So the panelists predicted that she's an athlete.)
(But Hyun Chul insisted that she's a singer.)
(Is she Hyun Chul's friend...)
(who did musical plays or stage acting?)
Please take off your mask...
and reveal your face.
(Shocked)
Who is she? She has a bob cut.
They're surprised to see her.
(Is that her?)
Please reveal your face.
She is an emotional ballad singer.
She's Singer MIIII.
(She's Singer MIIII.)
MIIII?
That's right. She's Kim Mi Hee.
He talked about her just a moment ago.
Right. He said she was his backup vocalist.
Hello, I'm Singer MIIII. Nice to meet you.
(She sang the original sound track of the drama, "Secret Garden".)
(MIIII expresses deep emotions with her voice.)
(Including "Secret Garden", "Bad Guy", and "The Princess' Man",)
(she's sung the original sound tracks of many TV dramas.)
(With the sensitive vocalist, Yoon Min Su,)
(she's been singing in Vibe's team for a long time...)
(and showing off her singing skills.)
(And she's very funny once you get to know her.)
(Unexpected charm)
(She loves music...)
(and tries hard to communicate with her fans.)
(MIIII has a beautiful and resonant voice.)
There's a reason why she said...
Hyun Chul is supposed to recognize her voice.
- You have a strong tie with him. - That's right.
- I recognized her voice later on. - You did?
Why did you think Hyun Chul was supposed to recognize you?
I was his backup vocalist,
sang a duet on stage with him,
and I was his guide vocalist.
I even auditioned in front of him.
- But Hyun Chul had no idea. - How did he not know her?
That's just ridiculous.
She was my backup vocalist for about five years.
Out of all people, why is it Hyun Chul?
This is so embarrassing.
If it were me, I would've recognized her immediately.
He'd keep talking about her.
When everyone said she wouldn't be a singer last week,
he was so sure that she's a singer.
So I thought he knew who she was.
But in Round Two,
he says she might be a musical actress...
or a stage actress who sings.
So I realized that he had no clue.
I'm very disappointed today, sir.
(I'm very disappointed today, sir.)
I feel so sorry for her.
It'd feel like she met her first love...
- but he turned out to be horrible. - I know.
He even nicknamed her...
- as Little Jung Hoon Hee. - That's right.
I love Jung Hoon Hee a lot.
She can express so many feelings...
in many different ways by singing only one note.
She knows how to express her voice along the song.
And MIIII was able to do that ever since she was young.
So I called her Little Jung Hoon Hee.
And she's improved a lot since then.
(Thank you.)
Is that why you didn't recognize her?
It was impossible to recognize her.
Because she's improved more than you expected.
That's right.
I think I met her at 4MEN's concert.
I think she got a lot better and prettier than she was then.
Actually, Ji Suk said...
she'd be the most beautiful woman on our stage.
So I thought you knew who she was.
Because her name is MIIII.
- I see. - That's what I thought.
But it turns out you just liked her.
I didn't know.
- Thank you anyway. - You should've known.
With her heart-warming voice,
MIIII eased our minds today.
We'll look forward to your future endeavors.
- Please give her a big hand. - Good luck.
(We look forward to your future endeavors.)
I had to take a little break...
while moving to another agency.
And I really wanted to join King of Mask Singer.
So I emailed the production crew myself.
I've accomplished my dream, so I have no regrets now.
(I'm so happy.)
I'll work harder to be a better singer. Thank you.
(Part 2 continues shortly.)
The mysterious music show, King of Mask Singer.
To stop Swordswoman from winning for the fifth time,
two masked singers have made it to Final Round.
Let's bring them out once again.
Please give them a big hand.
(Two masked singers have made it to Round Three.)
These two masked singers have made it to Round Three.
Pricey Pottery and Royal Guard.
Royal Guard and Pricey Pottery.
(The queen is nervous.)
These two masked singers have made to Round Three.
Let's ask them how they feel.
Pricey Pottery.
Please look at the queen once.
Look at the queen.
I will give you a chance to talk to her.
It's Actually Genuine, Pricey Pottery will...
I will try... I will try hard.
I refuse to yield.
Okay. All right.
He must be scared of the queen.
Everyone seems nervous.
Can you look at her and talk to her?
I've been waiting for this moment.
Have you?
Dear queen.
I am coming up.
I think you've been there long enough.
I think your time is up.
(His words were too short and simple.)
Well done.
All right. Round Three, Final Round, will begin...
with Pricey Pottery's performance.
(Pricey Pottery will perform first.)
- Let's go. - Let's go.
(Let's go.)
He must be strong.
People with such voice are strong.
(It's a head-on match. There is no turning back.)
(The throne is only one round away.)
(What great performance will he put on this time?)
("Please Come Back Again" by Vibe)
- Vibe. - It's Vibe.
(It's Korea's most popular breakup song with a sad intro.)
It's Vibe.
(Please return to who you were before becoming the queen.)
(His voice became even more hoarse than before.)
(He calmly engraves sadness.)
(This is incredible.)
(He puts his heart into the vocalization of each note.)
(His heart aches.)
(It's as if he's been sad since the stone age.)
(It seems like he knows what longing is.)
(He's amazed.)
He's a rock mania.
(He seems to be a rock mania.)
(Right!)
(It's lovely, isn't it?)
(From powerful baritone to...)
(high voice that contain emotions, he freely manipulates his voice.)
(With his unpredictable and delicate voice,)
(he builds up the sorrow.)
(He engraves the wound of breakup on his heart.)
(And he contains the feeling of longing in his voice.)
(His cry would make anyone want to go back to him.)
(He burns with pure love for the lover who left.)
(He wants to do everything in his will power to get her back.)
(Please come back to me.)
(It makes our heart feel numb.)
(Bravo.)
He's a professional RnB singer. He's a professional.
I have no idea who he is.
(They have no idea who he is.)
Contending against him...
is this masked singer who beat Ju Byeong Jin and MIIII.
I Can Protect You Better Than Anyone, Royal Guard.
(I Can Protect You Better Than Anyone, Royal Guard)
(I will protect Round Three too.)
(He's very confident.)
(You are great.)
He's very confident.
Go, Royal Guard!
- He's determined. - He's warming up.
Does it mean he didn't show everything he got until now?
(After warming up, he's finally ready to perform.)
(Is this the real beginning?)
(With which weapon will Royal Guard...)
(guard himself against the talented singers?)
(Just the intro is enough to makes us dance.)
(Dancing)
It's Ailee's "Don't Touch Me".
Everybody, clap!
("Don't Touch Me" by Ailee)
Clap! Clap!
(How will he manage to sing a powerful female vocalist's song?)
(His baritone voice gets on the rhythmical accompaniment.)
(It's completely different from Round Two.)
(He sounds a little more relaxed.)
(His powerful high voice is different from his low voice.)
(Royal Guard's energy instantly takes over the stage.)
(Dancing)
It's lovely.
(He's sometimes gentle,)
(and he's sometimes restrained.)
(He's a seasoned vocalist with perfect tempo control.)
(Royal Guard's masculine charms are now revealed.)
(He has complete control over the rhythm.)
(He runs around the stage and shows off his charisma.)
(With a powerful voice, Royal Guard performed "Don't Touch Me".)
(That was amazing.)
This is insane.
He has great potential.
- Who could he be? - I'm so curious.
Round Three is now over.
I wonder what Swordswoman thinks...
about Round Three.
Since this is Final Round,
it's very suffocating.
I see.
Was it that threatening?
Yes, they were so determined...
to drag me down.
They prepared so much.
Last week, you said you're aiming for 10 successive victories.
I'm just a good daughter who listens to her mother.
I see. You may go to the backstage as well...
and get ready for Final Match.
Please give her a round of applause.
Please go to the backstage.
(We'll be looking forward to it.)
Ho Young seemed very excited.
He was enjoying the performance a lot. How was it?
First, as for Pricey Pottery,
his voice was so sad.
It made me want to drink alcohol so much.
Somehow, it made me think he has a lot of stories to tell.
I wanted to drink with him while listening to his stories.
Royal Guard performed...
"Don't Touch Me" by Ailee in Round Three.
I was surprised at his choice.
The voice he was singing with...
sounded perfect to me.
It made me stand up and dance.
So you were very satisfied with the performance.
Yes, I almost went on the stage to dance.
- We discovered his new charm. - Exactly.
Young Seok, did you also discover something new? How was it?
I think their performances are different.
Pricey Pottery's music...
and himself are on the same level.
He and his music has become one.
At first, his music seems to be comforting,
but in the end, he rolls over together with the music.
On the other hand, Royal Guard...
rules over the music.
After singing Park Hyo Shin's ballad song earlier,
he chose to sing Ailee's song.
He's fundamentally confident that he can sing the best songs...
of all genres.
Theoretically, it's ridiculous if someone like him...
can't be the king.
I can't say for sure,
but this performance was excellent.
(Thank you.)
- You think he's fit to be king. - Yes.
I've been watching all of Royal Guard's performances...
and I figured he has a rock spirit in him.
Young Seok said he's confident,
and I think it might be coming from this rock spirit.
It sounded very much like band music.
And as for Pricey Pottery,
his voice reminded me of Bruno Mars a bit,
which is incredibly attractive.
It felt like his voice was piercing my heart.
He has an attractive hoarse voice.
His voice deeply touches our heart.
(Jang Hyuk fell in love with his singing skills.)
Thank you for the great performance.
Gu Ra, how did you like Round Three?
Pricey Pottery, you did a great job.
- What does that mean? - I think...
As Royal Guard sang Ailee's song,
at the end of the performance, he was dancing like...
a marionette released from its strings...
and collapsed in front of the audience.
I could see he did his best.
I think...
if the queen makes a mistake today,
he might beat her today.
- "A mistake"? - Yes.
- If she makes a mistake? - Yes.
She could make a mistake.
She's a human after all.
If she says something like, "Oh, no" just like The One did,
and if she chooses to sing a ridiculous song,
we might have a new king today.
- And what do you think? - I wonder what Twice thinks.
Let's ask what the Twice members think.
I wonder whose voice they think to be more attractive.
At first, I also thought Pricey Pottery...
had a very...
- special voice. - He has a special voice.
It caught my ears.
I thought he was very charming.
But when he performed a ballad song just now,
I discovered something else in him.
- She found another charm of his. - I discovered another charm of his.
And...
when Royal Guard...
was hitting the high notes in the end,
- I was very touched. - I see.
You're not saying whom you voted for.
Both are very charming in their own ways.
It's hard to choose only one.
But you voted for someone, right?
(But you already voted for someone.)
You voted, didn't you?
I did vote. However,
to be honest, I'm really curious to know...
Pricey Pottery's face.
I...
You're curious and?
I'm also curious to know who the other man is, but...
What?
So what? Please finish your sentence.
I'm so confused.
You're curious to know who they are equally.
I'm curious.
I chose this person...
because I was so curious...
and also because...
his performance was great.
(You're making us curious.)
So did you end up voting for Royal Guard?
I voted for Royal Guard.
Now, everything is clear.
(I'm satisfied now.)
- I'm sorry. - I understand your struggle.
There are indeed some people who vote for someone...
because they want to see his or her face.
Lastly, I'd like to hear what Hyun Chul thinks.
Throughout all his three performances of Pricey Pottery,
what I liked the most was his husky voice.
His voice is so husky...
that it makes me think he's just born like that.
I did discover that he sang with such a voice on purpose.
But if he develops this voice,
it's going to be a very powerful weapon.
And about Royal Guard...
Some of the expensive postcards...
show different pictures...
- depending on the angles you see. - Right.
Just like that, he has two voices.
When he sings low notes,
you can hear high notes,
and when he hits high notes,
you can hear low notes.
If he becomes the king...
and comes back next week,
I'm sure his skills will be even more improved.
I'm looking forward to seeing that.
(Grateful)
Good.
Now, I'm going to announce the result of Final Round.
It was a great match between two charming men.
Who will be the one to move on to the 75th Final Match?
Let's check it out right now!
Who will be the winner?
(He sang a sad song about one's ex-lover who left.)
(He has a soulful voice that pierces our hearts.)
(Pricey Pottery has a priceless voice.)
(Royal Guard chose a surprising song with confidence.)
(He revealed his hidden rock spirit.)
(Royal Guard has a powerful voice.)
Between Pricey Pottery and Royal Guard,
whom do the panelists want to see again?
The winner is...
- The winner is... - The winner is...
(It's a match between two different male singers.)
(Whose voice will threaten...)
(the queen to the end?)
(King of Mask Singer)
Let's check out the result.
(Royal Guard is the winner.)
Royal Guard is the winner.
(Nothing made it through the strict security. All is clear.)
(He's fully ready for Final Match as well.)
Royal Guard is the winner.
(He's fully ready for Final Match as well.)
Now, we can see Pricey Pottery's face.
Royal Guard beat Pricey Pottery...
with the score of 68 to 31.
He's chosen to be the opponent of the queen.
Please give it up for him.
He's now qualified as a candidate for the 75th king.
I made it to Final Match.
Swordswoman, wait there.
It's time to reveal Pricey Pottery's face.
Who could he be?
Please come to the back,
Pricey Pottery.
Now, Pricey Pottery, please take off your mask...
and reveal your face!
(His voice and music work as one.)
(The tone of his voice breaks people's hearts.)
(Does his dance show that he's a singer of YG Entertainment?)
(Is he an idol singer of SM Entertainment?)
(He's an extraordinary dancer...)
(who can even speak an alien language.)
(Who is this talented man?)
Take off your mask...
and reveal your face.
(Cheering)
(Oh, my.)
- Who is he? - Who is it?
(Is he an idol singer?)
He has such a small head.
He is...
the next-generation rhythm and blues singer,
Babylon!
Babylon?
I was wrong.
I was completely wrong.
Oh, my gosh.
Pricey Pottery was Babylon.
Please say hello to our viewers.
Hello. I'm Babylon, a rhythm and blues singer.
It's great to see you.
- It's good to be here. - It was Babylon.
(My name is Babylon.)
(He has a catchy signature sound.)
(His groovy voice featured in his many hit songs.)
(He's worked with many hot artists...)
(and became a popular artist among other artists.)
(In any genre of music including hip-hop, dance, and ballad,)
(his magical voice sounds good with anyone's voice.)
(With a unique voice and soul full of swagger,)
(he became an artist that caught the whole world's attention.)
(He has worked with...)
(great foreign artists such as Eric Benet and Far East Movement.)
(He has limitless potential as a solo singer.)
(Babylon, the vocalist with a fascinating voice)
He has worked with many musicians so far.
He's also known as a popular artist among other artists.
I heard that you weren't fully satisfied...
with just being featured in other artists' songs.
You mentioned...
that you expect your thirst to be satisfied through our show.
Yes. When I'm the featured singer,
the original singer's opinion...
is reflected on the song more than mine.
I haven't been able to produce...
the music that I really like.
But for this show, I get to choose the songs myself, practice them,
and sing them with my own voice.
I thought it'd be a really good opportunity,
so I was really thankful when you cast me.
I see. You said that you want to dedicate your songs...
to your grandmother, whom you're living with.
Yes. She's almost 90 years old now.
I usually perform in concerts,
but I can't invite her to them...
- because she's not doing so well. - I see.
So I thought she'd be really happy to see me...
sing on this show,
- Right. - so I decided to come.
Because of her age.
You're right. She must be so happy right now.
When he sang, he felt like...
a car racer.
- A car racer? - Yes.
You may think that a car racer only needs to drive forward,
but he needs to compete with other cars...
and adjust the speed as well.
That's what a car racer does.
When he sings an upbeat song,
he dashes forward like crazy.
When he sings a slow song,
he knows when he should sing powerfully or emotionally.
He controls the dynamics perfectly,
and I realized that...
it feels like driving when he sings.
I believe that this has been a great opportunity...
to let people know that he is an amazing singer...
who can represent Korea and sing songs of any genre.
- I see. - I'd like to say that...
we'll all look forward to his great music.
- Thank you. - I think he'll be recognized...
by more people now.
Today, he filled up the stage with...
nothing but his own voice...
without anyone by his side. It was Babylon.
Please give him a big round of applause again!
Thank you. Thank you all.
Go, Babylon!
I had to complete each performance that lasts for 3 to 5 minutes...
all by myself, without anyone else.
I realized once again that it's very hard.
I'm going to work harder as a singer...
and have more concerts.
I hope many of you will support me.
Pricey Pottery...
was me, Babylon.
Please give me a lot of support.
Bye.
This is the result of Round Three.
Royal Guard defeated Babylon...
and moved on to Final Match.
The mysterious music show, King of Mask Singer.
Now, what remains now is A Woman of Her Own,
Swordswoman's stage to defend her throne.
Will Swordswoman successfully defend her throne once again?
The 75th Final Match.
Let's watch the queen's stage!
The 75th Final Match.
She won't stop running forward...
to achieve her fifth consecutive win.
The 74th Queen of Mask Singer,
A Woman of Her Own,
Swordswoman!
(She walks in proudly through the golden gate...)
(which only the queen can open.)
(You look great, Swordswoman!)
We should welcome her with reverence.
She must be hot in that outfit.
She should wear something different for summer.
Something in hemp or ramie cloth.
(After a cold winter,)
(she met warm spring as the queen.)
(Will she defeat Royal Guard...)
(and get a new outfit for summer?)
("Wind Song" by Cho Yong Pil)
She picked a great song.
It's "Wind Song".
I can't believe this.
(Her voice comes to your ears like the wind.)
(It makes you realize why she's the queen once again.)
(It's a calm but strong resolution towards the world.)
- Isn't she amazing? - She really is.
(There are questions you face once in your life,)
(and it's hard to find the answers.)
(She powerfully sings about her resolution with her clear voice.)
(She could show this performance because she's the masked queen.)
(The emotional tornado has swept over everyone's hearts.)
- Goodness. - Amazing.
It's like it cleansed my soul.
It's so nice.
I loved it. I really loved it.
Final Match is now over.
Her defensive match is repeating several times.
How did the audience think about this performance?
Kai.
Among her performances for the defensive matches,
this one is my favorite.
- I see. - I'm not sure if it's just me,
but I feel like...
she wanted to deliver some kind of message to us.
More than any other times,
she communicated with her audience through her eyes.
She wanted us to listen to her message,
and it was well-conveyed in the performance.
Of course, the message was delivered to me as well.
I got to think about my deep trust...
towards her once more.
And here's one more thing.
During the last break time,
So Hyang sent me a message.
She sent you a message during her break?
She asked me how the masked queen was doing today.
(How is she doing today?)
- Why was she curious? - So I...
asked her...
if she was holding her in check.
Then she said Swordswoman...
is the only person who makes her nervous.
She's very much worried...
that her record might be broken.
Is that right?
The masked queen is that intimidating.
Even So Hyang admits to her ability...
and is always cheering for her.
- All right. - Actually,
today's performance rather felt like this.
Both my mind and head are troubled and disturbed...
that I go for a hike up the mountains.
- Yes? - I plan out a 10-hour hiking route.
And it's not an easy route at all.
I have to climb up the rocks...
and put my thoughts aside to focus on hiking.
At the peak of the mountain, the dustless, refreshing breeze...
sweeps me over.
The breeze sweeps me over.
Then my troubled mind and head...
are set free.
It felt just like that.
I see.
Was my expression so lame?
- What's wrong with this reaction? - No.
(Was my expression so lame? What's wrong with this reaction?)
I was being sincere.
It was such a nice expression in a while.
I was being really sincere.
- It's impressive. - Because my emotions don't lie.
I was imagining the scene. What's the problem?
The problem is with Seong Ju right now.
It was like the breeze at the top of the mountain.
- A refreshing breeze. - I see.
It set me free.
- It set you free. - I was set free from everything.
Gu Ra, what do you think?
You said there'd be a new king...
if he was lucky to get enough votes.
We often call it a gamble.
- A gamble. - That's right.
Will today's match be a gamble for the masked queen?
His stage was not bad.
It was not bad.
Royal Guard,
good job today.
- Should he give up hope? - I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
- Is it not a gamble for her today? - I'm sorry.
Expecting a gamble from her...
is like expecting Han Seok Bong's mother...
to cut her finger while cutting rice cakes.
Is that right?
I was such a fool.
Seok Bong's mother would never make such a mistake.
She cut rice cakes for 30 years, so she would never do that.
The way I see it,
we should've sent her to North Korea.
To North Korea?
She should've performed at the concert in Pyongyang.
Swordswoman?
She couldn't go because of that mask.
She should take it off to go there.
That's right.
She's violating the regulation if she takes it off.
Even National Intelligence Service doesn't know who she is.
(It's classified.)
I think...
she felt bad that she couldn't perform at the concert.
That must be why she selected this song.
That's what I think.
Here's what I thought about the subject of this song until now.
"If the answer is love,"
"I'll love everything in this world."
I thought this was the subject of the song...
and was impressed by the song.
But when I listened to it today,
it sounded like an open conclusion...
that makes people wonder about if they'll ever understand...
the loving heart towards everything in the world in their life one day.
(It felt like an open conclusion regarding the future instead.)
I happened to interpret this song differently again...
after I listened to her performance today.
I'd like to thank her...
for giving me such a feeling.
I've just received the result of the match.
If she wins five times in a row today,
She'll have the same record...
as those of Sunwoo Jung A and Cha Ji Yeon.
Will she be able to win five times in a row?
Or will Royal Guard mount a coup...
and drag the queen down from the throne?
I'll now reveal...
the 75th masked king.
Who will be the winner?
(His voice melts their exhausted hearts.)
(He showed his existence with his relieving voice in Round One.)
(By singing out his desperateness from deep inside of his heart,)
(he overthrew the studio with his bursting voice volume.)
(His firm vocalization, voice resonation,)
(and faultless skills stood out in Round Two.)
(Regardless of genres,)
(his singing ability is unrivaled.)
(He sang freely to the rhythm in Round Three.)
(However,)
(her emotional storm was just unpredictable.)
(It was the continuation of joy and thrill.)
(Her firm voice completely satisfied their ears.)
(Her versatile voice raged restlessly.)
Between Royal Guard and Swordswoman,
who'll become the 75th owner of the throne?
The winner is...
- The winner is... - The winner is...
(Excited)
(Will it be the refreshing and manly vocalist, Royal Guard?)
(Or will it be the masked queen, who never lets the audience down?)
Who'll become the 75th owner of the throne?
- The winner is... - The winner is...
(A Woman of Her Own, Swordswoman wins.)
It's Swordswoman.
(The era of Swordswoman will continue.)
- Yes! - That's it!
(They feel bad to see the result.)
I'm excited too.
The voting difference was 66 to 33.
Swordswoman has succeeded to win five times in a row.
She safely secured her throne.
We'll award her the golden mask and the queen's robe...
once more.
Could you say tell us how you feel?
Thank you so much.
It really was difficult to protect my throne this time.
I'll keep working hard...
to show you good music in the future as well.
Thank you.
(We'll look forward to it.)
Due to security reasons, she'll exit the studio.
Please give her another big round of applause.
(The queen parades to celebrate her fifth consecutive win.)
It wasn't an easy battle,
but Swordswoman succeeded to take her fifth consecutive win.
Who will be able to stop her reign?
Please look forward to what will happen in the future.
Now, it's time for you to reveal your identity.
Before you take off your mask,
I'll give you a chance to say a word.
Actually, I couldn't sleep...
throughout my preparation period.
But I got to advance to Final Round today.
I'm so happy and thankful for it.
His outfit and mine are in the same color today.
So I thought it'd be good to have him as our new king.
I cheered for you in my heart.
I'm thankful enough for being able to reach this far.
I'd like to take it off quickly.
- I see. Let's reveal his identity. - Okay.
Please move to the back of the stage.
Now, Royal Guard, please take off your mask,
and reveal your identity.
(His unique low-tone voice is strong and firm.)
(This genius is able to sing high notes as well as low notes.)
(He's got the rock spirit in his body.)
(He's made everyone bounce their shoulders.)
(What's the identity of this fatally charming masked singer?)
Reveal your face.
He failed to take the throne,
but who is he?
(Screaming)
(Shouting)
He is...
Why are they surprised? They startled me.
They're going crazy.
(The female audience is going crazy. Who is he?)
Reveal your face.
Who is he?
He is...
the main vocalist of the national idol, Wanna One.
He's Kim Jae Hwan.
- Kim Jae Hwan? - What?
(He's the member of Wanna One?)
Wanna One!
(I couldn't recognize the member of Wanna One?)
Was he that good at singing?
(They're happy to see him.)
Please say hello to the viewers.
Okay. All I want to do, Wanna One.
Hello, I'm the main vocalist of Wanna One, Kim Jae Hwan.
(He appeared on a music contest program in 2016.)
(He won against Yoon Do Hyun and caused a sensation.)
(He was known to have the best singing skills...)
(in a national auditioning program in 2017.)
(He became the 1st independent trainee to win 4th place.)
(He officially debuted as a member of the idol group, Wanna One.)
(He has proudly become the main vocalist.)
(He has a very wide vocal range and great singing skills.)
(Rookie group Wanna One's song tops the chart. Wanna One rocks.)
(The rookie group dominated the music charts.)
(They became the VVIP for various award ceremonies.)
(He has explosive high notes,)
(his rap is even better than Lee Sang Min,)
(and his dance moves threaten their main dancer as well.)
(Fluttering)
(He is also doing great on variety shows with his charms.)
(Kim Jae Hwan, the emerging rookie vocalist with great talents)
You almost became the king, but you couldn't.
I've never been praised that much in my life.
You haven't?
It was my first time to hear that many compliments, so I'm happy.
They said that when you were wearing your mask,
so their opinions were probably more objective and accurate.
What did you think yourself?
Did you want people to recognize you?
Or did you want them not to notice who you were?
I hoped they wouldn't recognize me.
- You rather hoped they wouldn't. - Yes.
Because there are many other members who can sing very well in our team,
I don't usually sing the intros.
There is another member who sings the intros.
- Is there another one? - Yes. He has a nice voice.
So I thought they couldn't recognize me.
And I wanted to sing in a way...
a bit different from the way I usually sing.
- I was so nervous. - Were you?
Yes.
(You did a very good job.)
Before you made a debut as a member of Wanna One,
you participated in another audition show, right?
There was a show called "Korea's Got Talent".
You're right.
- Back then, Gu Ra... - Wasn't he one of the judges?
was a judge.
- That's right. - Isn't that right?
Gu Ra was the only one who let me pass,
so I was able to have another chance.
I didn't know something like that happened between you and I.
It did happen.
(17-year-old Jae Hwan was so young and not skillful yet.)
(Gu Ra complimented him a lot and believed in his potential.)
No wonder you didn't look like a total stranger.
My goodness.
You are amazing, Royal Guard.
- I really appreciate it. - You do?
You want to say thanks to him now?
- Yes. I wanted to see him again. - You have survived.
I think I should hug him later or something.
- Thank you. - It was six years ago.
Let's eat some tripe in Daegu some day.
(I'd like that.)
Was your original dream to become a soccer player?
I started playing soccer when I was in elementary school...
because I liked soccer so much.
I played soccer until I was a senior in middle school,
and my dream suddenly changed after that.
So I started to dream of becoming a singer.
My goodness.
Then you must be still good at playing soccer.
- I'm not good now. - Why not?
- Because I'm short of breath. - You become short of breath?
(He says that innocently.)
Seeing that you sing that well, you don't seem to get short of breath.
I collapsed a moment ago because I was exhausted.
Did you collapse in Round Three because you were exhausted?
(After singing explosive high notes in Round Three,)
(he gets short of oxygen.)
They praised that it was a great dance move.
- My legs gave way. - Your legs just gave way.
I want to know what kind of singer you want to become.
Like the Kings and Queens of Mask Singer,
I'd like to become a singer...
who can touch people's hearts.
(I want to be a singer who can touch people's hearts with my voice.)
His performance today...
was full of his own color and sentimentality.
- Please give him a big hand again. - Go, Jae Hwan.
Thank you. Thanks a lot.
- He is amazing. Good job. - Thank you.
- I appreciate it. - Thanks.
- You were a middle school student. - Thank you.
You're incredible. It is not easy to come all the way here alone.
- Great job. - Thank you.
- Keep up the good work. - Okay.
You can find some more good agencies, right?
- You're right. - Did anyone contact you?
- Yes. - Weigh them up carefully.
- Congratulations. Thank you. - Thank you.
- Good luck. - Thank you.
I feel so good to hear so many compliments.
I'm happy that I can brag about it to other members. I feel great.
I was worried a lot that I might be defeated in Round One,
but I luckily moved on to later rounds.
I still can't believe that I made it all the way to Final Round.
Since I showed my performances to the viewers as much as I wanted,
I was so pleased.
I will continue to sing with all my efforts.
Everyone, I, Kim Jae Hwan, was Royal Guard.
I hope you'll continue liking my voice and listen to my songs.
I love you all.
Next week.
(I came here to take the throne.)
(His dance is so unique.)
(The panelists smile broadly to see the charms of new masked singers.)
(She can't control her cheerful energy.)
(Gu Ra thinks that's too much.)
(A feast of great voices beyond your imagination.)
(Performances you've never seen or heard of before.)
(The panelists get lost by being fascinated by the masked singers.)
(The queen gets anxious.)
(Even the queen becomes astonished to see who the masked singers are.)
(It will be revealed next week.)
