The mysterious music show, King of Mask Singer.
Previously on King of Mask Singer.
(Previously on King of Mask Singer.)
With the emotion that engulfed our entire bodies,
she dominated the stage...
and won for the seventh time.
She broke So Hyang's winning streak record...
and became second in the total ranking.
A Woman of Her Own, Swordswoman.
We shall give you music...
as good as the blue skies of May.
The mysterious music show, King of Mask Singer.
I am your unbiased show host, Kim Seong Ju.
Welcome.
(Lady Jane, Lee Chang Min)
(Hwang Min Hyun and Lai Kuan Lin of Wanna One)
(Park Ji Won of fromis9)
Previously, the queen sang Yim Jae Beum's song,
"Love", and succeeded to win for the seventh time.
A Woman of Her Own, Swordswoman.
Can you greet the viewers?
To celebrate my seventh win, I prepared an acrostic poem.
You prepared an acrostic poem to celebrate your seventh win?
- Should we give you the letters? - Yes.
All right. Let's do it together.
Chil.
I succeeded to defend my throne by winning for the seventh time.
Yeon.
Next, I am going to rank first on King of Mask Singer ranking.
Seung.
- I'm on a roll! - She's on a roll.
(Well done!)
She's on a roll.
She's fearless.
She's been there for a long time now.
Gu Ra, this isn't an ordinary situation, is it?
For the audience who are here today, it's their first time to see her.
- But we have been with her... - Yes.
- for nearly four months. - Right. It's been a long time.
For that reason,
no matter how delicious a rice cake is,
you get tired of it when you have too much of it.
If I were to use a dam as an analogy to last week's vote result,
the dam got cracked.
Some betrayed her.
There's a leakage.
But I stopped that leakage...
by inserting my finger in the crack.
- You saved her. - Yes.
- I am stopping the leakage. - Are you?
He's talking nonsense.
- I am stopping the leakage. - Are you stopping the leakage?
But there are cracks everywhere.
So I don't know what's going to happen.
You don't know what's going to happen.
Whenever there's a crack,
you hammer the crack.
- That's not true. - You're not blocking it.
I am blocking it with my finger.
I am using my hands and feet to cover the cracks.
Anyway, let's see what happens.
All right. The 77th Queen of Mask Singer,
Swordswoman, will now go for her eighth win.
Who will be the last person to survive and fight the queen?
Let's begin Round One, the duet song competition.
Let's start the first match.
(King of Mask Singer)
This is the first match of Round One.
I will put the throne on fire.
Can I Borrow Your Fire?
Jewel Sauna.
(Can I Borrow Your Fire? Jewel Sauna)
(The passionate cheers make her falter.)
Please look forward to seeing Jewel Sauna's amazing talent.
(She will heat up the mood.)
Her nickname is very unusual, isn't it?
- It's a woman. - It's a woman.
Contending against her is this masked singer.
Fall, fall into me
Why Don't You All Come In? Open-Air Bath.
(Why Don't You All Come In? Open-Air Bath)
With my healing voice, I will melt your heart.
(Are you ready to sweat?)
He's quite big.
He's got a great body.
I love open-air baths.
(It's an intense and heated competition.)
(Who will relieve the panelists' fatigue...)
(and add heat to the next round?)
("Our Love Like This" by Joo Young Hoon)
- What is it? - They chose this song.
They are starting with a duet.
("Our Love Like This" is a very popular duet.)
(How warm will their voices be?)
(Jewel Sauna's clear voice wafts across the set.)
(Her melody shines like an amethyst.)
(Open-Air Bath's voice is firm.)
(He's good.)
(His great singing soothes the throbbing pain in our hearts.)
(Jewel Sauna and Open-Air Bath's harmony heats up the performance.)
(The duet spreads warmth.)
(He's touched.)
They look so great together.
They are too lovely.
(Her warm voice makes us feel happy.)
(Her singing is warm enough to heat up the stage all day.)
(Open-Air Bath's emotions sway our hearts.)
(Like a natural hot spring, his voice is clear and warm.)
(They create a warm harmony while looking into each other's eyes.)
(She freely sings with a heavy baritone voice too.)
(His substantial voice echoes.)
(In the future)
(When life gets too tough)
(Let's lean on)
(Each other's shoulder)
(Sincerity heats up the temperature of love.)
(Even if time passes by, they will remain passionate.)
(They promise that their love will never change.)
That was so sweet.
(The temperate of their performance passed the boiling point.)
(It feels like our emotions are recharged.)
(That was lovely.)
- That was too good. - That was like a musical.
If Jewel Sauna doesn't make it, I will stay quiet today.
(He's going to get sulky if she doesn't make it.)
(He's very satisfied.)
The first match of Round One ended.
And the competition is intense from the start.
Let's hear from the poet of King of Mask Singer,
- Yes. - Yu Young Seok.
Open-Air Bath...
had a voice that is like a boiling-hot spring.
People of my age don't say that hot springs are hot.
- We say it's refreshing. - Right.
His voice was just like a hot spring.
He's got a hot voice, but his singing...
sounds very refreshing.
Jewel Sauna is... I can be honest, right?
Of course. You should be honest.
She's got the voice I love.
(She's got the voice I love.)
- Right. - Why do you love so many things?
It seems like your taste changes very often.
(He has loved many people's voices.)
(His taste changes every week.)
(His heart pounds.)
Anyway, is her voice the voice you love today?
Earlier, I described voices being "hot" and "cool".
But her voice is just ideal.
It's like 24℃.
24℃ is perfect.
It's my first time to watch a duet and get jealous.
If she gets eliminated, I will be disheartened.
(Oh, dear.)
Is it that serious?
You want to cheer for Jewel Sauna.
Young Seok is very good at getting immersed in the situation.
When the singer he likes gets eliminated, he gets upset.
- Really? - He really does.
- As a musician, - But he's a panelist.
He gets very upset.
(Everyone who doesn't love music is guilty.)
He found a voice he loves on the first match.
Of course.
All right. Let's ask Hyun Chul this time.
Jewel Sauna must've been teased in school...
as "dark-faced".
- "Dark-faced"? - "Dark-faced".
I saw her legs.
You can hardly see her legs. When did you see them?
- Her legs are dark. - Right.
(Her skin is dark.)
I think she must've been constantly teased...
as "dark-faced".
That's a sharp comment.
I think Open-Air Bath received classical music training.
I think he's an opera singer who used to be on "Phantom Singer".
The fact that he managed...
to sing a pop song so great...
means that he's meant to sing pop songs.
That's what I think.
I'd like to hear young people's opinions as well.
Today, we have two members of Wanna One joining us.
- Min Hyun has been here too. - Right.
He's the one who had a match with Chang Min.
- Really? - In Round Two.
(He was unfortunately eliminated in Round Two.)
I remember that I voted for him back then.
Thank you.
You just made it awkward for Chang Min, who's right next to you.
Good. Min Hyun.
How did you like their duet performance?
As for Jewel Sauna,
I loved her voice...
being mixed with her breath.
I wanted to be keep listening to her voice. It was a great.
I feel like Open-Air Bath is a musical actor.
Who do you think is older?
I think Jewel Sauna might be older.
(She bends down.)
- If she happens to be young, - Yes.
She must have debuted at a really young age.
So you think she debuted at an early age?
I have a feeling that she has been in this business for a long time.
Could she be an idol?
(Confused)
- I'm not sure. - I see.
- I'm not trying to mess with him. - Don't mess with him.
Do you know anyone who flops down like that when something is funny?
- Pardon? - Do you know anyone who flops down?
I don't know where to find people who flop down.
The only person I know is Oh Na Mi.
That's the only data we have.
- Think thoroughly. If... - I'm sorry.
- She flops down often. - Someone who flops down often.
Gu Ra, how did you like the performance?
I think I know who the woman is.
- Do you think you know her? - Her voice sounds like...
that of a guest singer.
I think that's her specialty.
Her voice is like...
- Do you know Page? - Yes, I do.
The first guest singer was Oh Hyun Ran.
The second guest singer was Ahn Sang Ye.
The third guest singer was Lee Ga Eun.
- The fourth was Ko A Mi. - Lee Ga Eun?
Yes. And the fifth was Ko Ga Eun.
- Lee Ga Eun? - I think she's either Lee Ga Eun...
or Ko A Mi.
- Lee Ga Eun. - Lee Ga Eun?
- He might be right. - Right?
- That might be true. - Right? She is Page.
- Do you think she's quite old? - Yes.
When Hyun Chul said her skin was dark, he said she's "dark-faced".
That's an old-fashioned nickname.
When she heard, "dark-faced", she was moving her legs like this.
What do you think, Bong Sun?
I'm not sure.
I see. Of course some people have different opinions.
(Of course some people have different opinions.)
- I'm really not sure. - You don't have to agree with me.
Many people seem to like my idea that she could be Page.
- She doesn't seem so awkward... - Yes?
- with a variety show like this. - Exactly.
- It seems like she's used to it. - I see.
She knows how to show her talents and passion.
She's still a little girl...
who has aged a bit.
I think she's my senior.
She hasn't changed as time went by.
There seem to be different opinions about them.
Now, we're going to check out their specialties...
to take better guesses about their identities.
Let's hear Open-Air Bath's voice first.
He's going to imitate Jang Hyuk's voice.
Let's hear it.
I killed him.
(He sounds exactly like Jang Hyuk.)
But still, I didn't wash my hands.
I was afraid I'd be a sinner.
That's it.
(He's good.)
(I'm afraid I'd be a sinner if I take off my mask.)
Jang Hyuk, could you show us something else?
Could you show us some lines from "The Slave Hunters".
He'll imitate Jang Hyuk's voice from "The Slave Hunters".
Jang Hyuk from "The Slave Hunters". Let's hear it.
Eon Nyeon.
Where is Eon Nyeon?
(It's Eon Nyeon's fault for sure.)
He's just like him.
He's quite similar to him.
So he's Jang Hyuk expert.
Lastly, he will imitate angry Yim Jae Beum's voice.
It's Yim Jae Beum's voice, but he's quite angry.
Let's hear it.
Here we go. He's angry.
(Desperado)
He's a funny person.
(Please calm down.)
(Why don't you come to your senses?)
That's it. Thank you.
(That's a great specialty.)
He's a great actor.
I think he's a comedian.
He is a comedian.
Actors are not as passionate as him...
- when it comes to specialties. - Exactly. They're not like him.
- So I think... - Some actors who act in plays...
- are very talented too. - Why do you think he's a comedian?
Is there a comedian who is fit and has a deep voice like him?
- There are a few. - There are. I know a few of them.
Some of you might have his voice some time.
- Seong Ju. - Yes.
You never knew about him until today, right?
- Him? - Yes.
No, that's not true.
- He's lying. - He's lying.
- He knew him today. - You knew him today, right?
Today is the first time I met him in person,
but I knew his name.
You didn't know his exact name though, right?
(You didn't know his exact name, right?)
- He didn't. - You didn't know his exact name.
Well, I didn't know his family name.
- Really? - Come on.
Once he takes off his mask,
you'll be like, "Why didn't I realize it was him?"
- You'll be sorry for yourself. - I see.
Now, it's time to check out Jewel Sauna's specialties.
She says she prepared a dance perfect to your taste.
Let's see her moves. Music, please.
(The music starts.)
(Surprisingly, she chose a recent song.)
It's "Bang Bang Bang" by Big Bang.
(She looks like she's stealing eggs from a sauna.)
(Impressed)
(Bang bang bang)
(Eggs are on me.)
She's not flexible.
(He attacks her back right away.)
(Stiff dance moves)
(Her moves look somewhat old school.)
(Have a cup of sikhye.)
That was it.
This is confusing.
She does have charisma on the stage.
- She's not young. - She's not?
Yes. She clapped her hands while dancing without noticing.
- She was so excited. - She did?
She clapped her hands like this.
(An experienced woman like her can't miss even one beat.)
(Clapping)
What about it? You can clap your hands while you dance.
That's when I realized she's old.
I think she must have watched "The 1st Avenue of Humor" as a kid.
- She's that old? - She might be born in 1986.
- So she's over 30. - Yes.
If she used to be an idol singer,
she must be a first-generation idol singer.
That's very generous of you.
She changed her mind and thinks she could be an idol.
Now, I'm going to announce the result of Round One.
The result looks very interesting.
- Oh, no. - It's a very close match.
- I bet it was a close match. - From 13 celebrity panelists,
the result is 7 to 6.
It seems like you think they were equally good.
Who will be the one to move on to Round Two?
I'll now reveal the winner of this match.
(She has a soft but husky voice.)
(His warm voice comforts our tired ears.)
(Jewel Sauna versus Open-Air Bath)
Who is the winner of this match?
The winner is...
- The winner is... - The winner is...
Please!
(What will be the result?)
The winner is...
(King of Mask Singer)
(The winner is Open-Air Bath.)
The winner is Open-Air Bath.
(The real open-air bath has just begun!)
(Sad)
(Unfortunately Young Seok's ideal singer lost.)
Open-Air Bath beat Jewel Sauna.
The result was 56 to 43.
The winner is Open-Air Bath.
Please give him a round of applause.
(Jewel Sauna's surprising identity will be unveiled soon!)
I was a little nervous on Round One.
I will do my best in Round Two.
Young Seok seems depressed now.
He said her voice was his type.
He said he'd be upset...
if she couldn't make it to the next round.
Young Seok looks very sad.
Who is Jewel Sauna?
We'll check it out through her solo performance.
Please give her a round of applause!
I loved her voice.
(She has a beautiful breathy and husky voice.)
(Her voice was even picked as someone's ideal type.)
(But her egg stealing dance changed some people's minds.)
(She's not young.)
(Many people were convinced that she's in her late 30s.)
(Did she really watch "The 1st Avenue of Humor" as a kid?)
("Roller Coaster" by Chung Ha)
(Will she heat up the stage again?)
(I love this.)
(Her voice makes everyone feel comfortable.)
That voice though.
(She has a voice that's pleasant to hear every day.)
(Her voice tickles your heart.)
(Her voice is thrilling.)
(Hold on to the rhythm, )
(and keep yourself steady.)
(Everyone is fascinated by the rollercoaster in Jewel Sauna Land.)
Now,
Jewel Sauna, please take off your mask,
and reveal your face.
(Surprised)
- What is it? - Why?
Who are you?
She is...
the singer with amazing sensibility from "Produce 101",
Kim So Hee!
(Stunned)
(She was an idol singer in her 20s!)
(My ideal type of voice!)
(She has a young face, )
(but her voice sounds refreshing yet seasoned.)
(I thought she was a senior comedian.)
(She sings cutely yet boldly this time.)
(Her stage becomes more and more exciting.)
(Her surprising voice makes you feel dizzy.)
(The rollercoaster in Jewel Sauna Land...)
(heats up like a hot sauna.)
(Isn't she beautiful?)
(Her perfect composure on stage...)
(makes it hard to believe that she's in her 20s.)
("Roller Coaster" by Kim So Hee, the ride you never want to get off)
She's so talented.
She has such a beautiful voice.
She's so pretty.
Gosh, she shouldn't have lost.
All right. She was Kim So Hee...
from "Produce 101".
Please say hello to our viewers.
Hello, I'm Kim So Hee.
It's great to see you all.
(She debuted in "Produce 101" and finished 15th in the competition.)
(She became a rising star on variety shows with her cheerful character.)
(She showed off her whimsical charms...)
(and won the best new entertainer award.)
(She became the leading entertainer of the next generation.)
(She can sing cheerful, refreshing songs...)
(and express delicate feelings with her unique voice.)
(She has also sung the soundtracks of various dramas.)
(She can fill up the stage by herself.)
(Kim So Hee, the newly discovered rising star)
Some of you said...
she'd be in her mid 30s or born around 1985,
but she's 24 years old. Am I right?
Yes, I'm 24.
But while watching her sing, I realized...
that we were mistaken for a good reason.
So Hee sings so skillfully...
and beautifully on stage.
That's why we were mistaken.
Right. She wasn't afraid to perform on stage at all.
Wait. Weren't you on...
- "New Late Night E News"? - Yes.
- I have something to say. - What is it?
It's you, right?
Gu Ra asked me to sing on that show,
and I was a bit out of tune.
Ever since then, whenever I sing on TV shows,
I keep singing out of tune. It became a jinx.
Look.
- Yes? - Am I that important in your life?
- You are. - We've only met once.
I guess that mistake made you feel nervous about singing.
A little. That's why I wanted to see Gu Ra today...
and break that jinx.
- I see. - She wanted to prove herself.
She's a really funny girl. She's very whimsical.
Young Seok said your voice is his ideal type of voice...
and he'd get upset if you lose.
How did you feel when he said that?
Actually, I was close to tears when I heard that.
I've never received...
such big compliments about my singing before.
I was on the verge of tears behind the mask.
- Thank you. - I see.
She showed us her passion towards music hidden behind...
her cheerful character.
It was Kim So Hee. Let's give her a big hand again!
Go, So Hee!
(We support So Hee's bright future.)
Many of my friends from "Produce 101"...
have come to this show.
We worked hard as trainees together,
and they succeeded as singers to have appeared on this show.
I was proud of them,
but at the same time, I wanted to come to this show as well.
I had my chance today,
and I really enjoyed it.
I was smiling the whole time behind the mask.
Jewel Sauna was me, Kim So Hee.
I'll be working in various fields from now on,
so please look forward to it. Thank you.
This is the result of Round One.
Why Don't You All Come In? Open-Air Bath defeated Kim So Hee...
and moved on to Round Two.
The second match of Round One.
He was born with a royal voice.
The Blue House is behind me,
Gyeongbokgung Palace!
(The Blue House is behind me, Gyeongbokgung Palace)
I will show you a beautiful and glorious performance.
(Imposing)
(You look great.)
Gyeongbokgung Palace looks cool.
His mask looks like Gyeongbokgung Palace at night.
It's shiny.
Let's meet his opponent.
Please give her a big round of applause.
Opera, Opera,
Opera, Lalala,
Opera House!
I will show you a graceful stage.
(Elegant)
(We can't miss this performance.)
Her mask looks beautiful.
There must be something.
(An exciting match between two landmarks)
(Which place will remain in the audience's hearts?)
(Is it going to be Gyeongbokgung Palace?)
(Or Opera House?)
Is this "For Couples Just Starting"?
The classic duet song.
("For Couples Just Starting" by Lee Won Jin)
It's making my heart flutter.
(It's a romantic song.)
(What a beautiful voice.)
(Opera House whispers with her clear voice.)
(Amazed)
(She must be a singer, right?)
(Who is she?)
(Surprised)
(Gyeongbokgung Palace's solid voice captures your heart.)
(His singing makes you breathe together with him.)
(This is amazing.)
(They make a romantic stage together.)
(House Band)
(Wow)
(Gyeongbokgung Palace's mellow voice...)
(embraces Opera House's pure voice.)
(The fresh feelings of the new couples)
(It's a lovely harmony of Opera House and Gyeongbokgung Palace.)
(They begin...)
(their own stories...)
(slowly and carefully.)
(Their "For Couples Just Starting" is like a sweet kiss.)
(You two look great together.)
(I think I'm in love.)
That was so sweet.
I have no idea.
I don't know who they are.
The second match of Round One is over.
How did you like their voices?
Kai.
About Gyeongbokgung Palace.
His voice sounds like it's full of makgeolli.
(It's full of makgeolli.)
The delicate flavor...
and refreshing feeling...
of makgeolli.
His voice was full of that.
I don't think he sang for only a day or two.
I'm sure he has sung for a very long time.
What makes...
the Sydney Opera House famous...
is its beautiful figure.
From a musical perspective,
I might say she didn't sound like a professional singer,
but her figure, voice,
and clear charm inside her...
were as good as the Sydney Opera House.
I'd put it that way.
Her voice is as beautiful as her looks.
What do you think, Chang Min? Do you agree?
I also think...
Opera House might not be a singer.
When they sang together,
Gyeongbokgung Palace focused on the chord.
"The chord"?
(His chord was in harmony with Opera House's voice.)
But when Gyeongbokgung Palace sang the original melody,
Opera House just sang along well at ease.
(Little by little)
(She sings the same melody.)
(Opera House sang the melody together without hiding anything.)
She sounded too confident.
So I figured that she was singing with no desire to win.
I guess Gyeongbokgung Palace is a musician...
while Opera House is not.
All right.
Let's hear Wanna One's opinions.
Min Hyun, what do you think?
Gyeongbokgung Palace sounds like an experienced musician.
But I think he's a rapper.
- A rapper? - Yes.
- He's an experienced rapper? - Yes.
He might be a rapper. How did you know?
I'm not sure who he is,
but he sounded powerful.
And he sang with clear diction.
So he was like a rapper.
Even the way he stands looks like a rapper's.
Is this how a rapper stands?
As soon as Min Hyun said that,
Gyeongbokgung Palace was like this.
(He responded with an exaggerated action.)
He did this.
- I bet he did it on purpose. - I think he was right.
(Was it an intended reaction?)
Lai Kuan Lin, is there an idol artist here?
No.
Are you sure you won't change your mind?
I won't change my mind.
You won't?
(Laughing)
I know Gyeongbokgung Palace doesn't sound like an idol,
but Opera House might be an idol singer.
I think Opera House is a reporter.
- A reporter? - A reporter?
- She might be a broadcaster. - She might be a reporter.
It's her standing posture.
She's standing to the side at the angle of 45°.
If I look at Seong Ju and her together...
without Gyeongbokgung Palace,
it doesn't look awkward at all.
Really?
Don't get too close to her. Stay away from her.
- When you do that... - When you stand apart...
at the angle of 45°,
your hands met like that.
It looks like they're hosting an award ceremony.
It doesn't feel awkward at all.
- She looks like a host. - Exactly.
I guess she's an anchor and a former Miss Korea.
You think she has some broadcasting experience.
Exactly.
I think she's a female news anchor.
She might be Moon Ji Ae.
- Moon Ji Ae? - Moon Ji Ae?
She has the silhouette.
- That sounds plausible. - And her voice.
I guess she might be Moon Ji Ae.
- I'm 90 percent sure. - Right.
I think she's Lee Jae Eun.
- Lee Jae Eun? - She's an anchor.
- She has a slim figure. - She looks good in a dress too.
When she sang,
her pronunciation was very clear.
She made gesture like this...
to sing in tune.
(As the love gets deep)
So I thought she might be an anchor.
- I'll go with Lee Jae Eun. - Lee Jae Eun.
I'll go with Moon Ji Ae.
You guys think she's an anchor.
All right. Let's watch their specialties...
to figure out who they are.
I'll let you hear Opera House's...
real voice.
She'll mimic Sana's voice of Twice.
Let's hear it.
Hello. 1, 2, and 3. I'm Sana.
I want some cheese gimbap.
Cheese gimbap.
(It's subtle, but she sounds cute like Sana.)
That's it.
(She's cute.)
Now, it's Christina.
(From Sana to Christina)
Let us hear Christina's voice.
(Caw)
Hello, I'm Christina.
What do you think of my specialty?
That's it.
(She sounds like a crow, Christina, and Zhu Bajie at the same time.)
She has many different voices.
That was too detailed though.
She has a variety of charms.
And Gyeongbokgung Palace will mimic Kim Hyun Chul's voice.
(Kim Hyun Chul's voice)
My voice? I've never seen anyone do that.
Gyeongbokgung Palace, show us your specialty.
(The moon)
(She loved)
(The pretty moon)
That's it.
(Hyun Chul silently droops his head.)
- I'm sure he's Hyun Chul's friend. - Who is he?
I'm sure he's making fun of Hyun Chul.
You should think about it.
Do you have anything else to show us?
Can you sing another song?
(I've been alone)
(My whole life)
That's it.
(Feeling dizzy)
- He knows Hyun Chul's songs a lot. - I'm sure he's Hyun Chul's friend.
(He can mimic Hyun Chul's voice quite well.)
When he mimicked Hyun Chul's voice,
it seemed like he was making fun of Hyun Chul.
It was so obvious. He was making fun of me.
- So I think... - He mocked Hyun Chul.
It's not that he mocked Hyun Chul. He just expressed the character.
(It's a mess.)
I'm sure he mocked Hyun Chul.
It means he's close with Hyun Chul?
- I think that's what it is. - They are close friends.
He wanted Hyun Chul to notice him.
He just described Hyun Chul's character...
in the way of young people these days.
Wanna One, do you think he's a rapper?
Yes, I do.
- You still think he's a rapper? - Yes.
Are you sure?
I agree with them.
- You think he's a rapper? - Yes.
I think they're right.
- He's a rapper? - Just because...
he mimicked Hyun Chul's voice,
they think he's of our age.
But I think his mother is of Hyun Chul's age.
There's a great diversity of opinions.
All right then. Now, Opera House will show...
her specialty, which is incomplete yet.
She says she can mimic Hwa Sa of Mamamoo.
Music, please.
(This song...)
(is "Don't Give" by Loco and Hwa Sa.)
(The song is famous for Hwa Sa's dance moves.)
(Opera House makes a sortie.)
(She catches the points though.)
(Sexy)
(But Opera House's moves...)
(are stiff.)
(There must be something else.)
(Firing the gun of love)
(The end)
That's it.
What was that?
It's not complete yet.
It's too incomplete.
She loves Hwa Sa so much.
What's the rush?
She could've done it perfectly if she had two more months.
She should've waited for two months then.
Why did she do that now?
Since she's here, she just showed her specialty.
Wait. I have a question. What was the point of it?
We know Hwa Sa.
- I know Hwa Sa. - You know her.
(Whispering)
She says the point was being sexy.
(The point was being sexy.)
- But that's... - She says that she wanted...
to show her sexy moves.
I figured out who she is with her specialty.
- Who is she? - I'm sure.
I once saw her dance,
and I was shocked.
Who is she?
She's a comedienne of M.
You could've just said MBC.
- This is MBC. - Why did you say M instead?
We're in MBC.
I wanted to sound mysterious.
- Why would you... - What's the initial of her name?
I'll tell you the middle letter of her initials.
- It's S. - S?
- I think she's a comedienne. - She's a comedienne?
- I'm sure she's a comedienne. - I see.
Hold on. People said she could be an anchor or a reporter.
- But a comedienne? - Yes, she's a comedienne.
Who is the winner of the second match of Round One?
Between a man with vocal cords that tickle our ears,
Gyeongbokgung Palace,
and a woman who sang of love with her elegant voice,
Opera House,
whose voice did the audience choose?
I'll now reveal the winner of this match.
Let's see who the winner is.
(His voice is sweet as if he has a candy in his mouth.)
(Gyeongbokgung Palace is a romantic vocalist.)
(Her clear voice shines elegantly.)
(Opera House is a healing vocalist who consoles the heart.)
Let's find out who will move on to Round Two.
The winner is...
- The winner is... - The winner is...
(Is it Gyeongbokgung Palace with a honey-like voice?)
(Is it Opera House with an elegant voice?)
- The winner is... - The winner is...
(Gyeongbokgung Palace won.)
Gyeongbokgung Palace won.
(Gyeongbokgung Palace will open at night.)
(It will be open for Round Two.)
(It's too bad that Opera House will be closed.)
Gyeongbokgung Palace won.
The final score is 69 to 30.
You will compete against Open-Air Bath in Round Two.
Please give him a big hand.
(The identity of Opera House will be revealed soon.)
Gyeongbokgung Palace moves on to Round Two.
Hip hop!
(Laughing)
Let's go!
Who could be this funny masked singer?
We will reveal her identity with a solo performance.
Please give her a big hand.
(Her identity will be revealed.)
(She has beautiful looks and a pure voice.)
(Is she an anchor who was a former Miss Korea?)
(Various professions were mentioned.)
(Who could be the talented Opera House?)
("I'm Loneliness and You're Longing" by Park Young Mi)
Gosh, I haven't heard this song in a while.
It suits her.
(Her voice brings a smile to their faces.)
(Like stars that litter the sky, )
(her pure voice sparkles.)
(Her voice puts me in a good mood.)
She holds her hand like this when she sings.
(That's right.)
(Her voice is as clear and beautiful as a crystal ball.)
(Who is she?)
Now, Opera House, please take off your mask...
and reveal your face.
(My goodness.)
She is...
What's going on?
Who is she?
She has short hair.
(Who is the woman with short hair?)
She is...
a former anchor with graceful charms,
Moon Ji Ae.
(Moon Ji Ae?)
(Gu Ra got it right.)
He got it right.
Congratulations.
- I was right. - You recognized her voice.
(He did a good job today.)
(People are happy to see Moon Ji Ae.)
(Moon Ji Ae was the top anchor in MBC.)
(Gu Ra is surprised at himself.)
(She showed her funny side when she wore a mask.)
(She is a talented woman with amazing singing skills.)
(Her graceful charms had overshadowed this side of her.)
(Embarrassed)
(You are beautiful.)
(Moon Ji Ae cheers everyone up with her magical charms.)
(Her innocent performance touched everyone's hearts.)
(Moon Ji Ae's "I'm Loneliness and You're Longing")
(They fall for her irresistible charms.)
- I guessed her identity. - I got goose bumps.
My goodness.
She surprised us in many ways.
(This is incredible.)
- This is incredible. - Hello,
it has been a while. I am Moon Ji Ae.
(Moon Ji Ae was an anchor who represented MBC.)
(She listened to the citizens...)
(and showed off her hosting skills on various TV programs.)
(She worked as a radio DJ.)
(She even filmed a commercial with her graceful charms.)
(However, she has unexpected charms as well.)
(She has good cheer and a sense of humor.)
(Even her voice mimicking...)
(is perfect.)
(Moon Ji Ae is a woman who is beautiful, intelligent, and funny.)
Her visit to King of Mask Singer...
is her first visit to MBC in seven years.
Has it been that long?
After the catchphrase became "A good friend, MBC",
I worked as a narrator for various TV programs.
However, it has been seven years since I made a TV appearance.
You know,
when Oh Sang Jin visited "Radio Star" and cried,
I thought, "Gosh, why is he crying? It's embarrassing."
However, I am close to tears.
Give her a round of applause.
(Welcome.)
(Her eyes turned teary.)
To be honest, I thought you were Maeng Seung Ji.
- Maeng Seung Ji. - Yes. That's why I thought...
your specialty must have been her repertoire...
when she auditioned to become a comedienne.
Since "Maeng" is a rare last name,
I only gave the first letter of her name.
I was so surprised to see you behind the mask.
I was so surprised that Gu Ra guessed your identity.
- My goodness. - The thing is,
she visited "Variety Show Agency" a while ago...
and showed her eccentric, funny sides.
That's how I knew about her sense of humor.
Are you always this funny?
I am the funniest person in my family.
- Really? - Yes.
However, I have a cool-headed and tidy image on TV.
I am always ready to take the stage.
Your specialty of imitating Mamamoo's Hwa Sa was impressive.
You did a good job.
The guesses started from an anchor and ended with a comedienne.
People changed their guesses and thought you were a comedienne.
That's not true. I have never changed my guess.
Don't lie.
- You said she is a comedienne. - I said she is Moon Ji Ae.
(He changed his guess right away.)
(She is a comedienne.)
Bong Sun changed her guess.
Why would you say that?
- Don't be absurd. - You heard my guess and agreed.
I am so thankful that she is Moon Ji Ae.
- You were surprised too. - I was surprised too.
- You were surprised too. - You changed your guess.
No, I didn't.
- He was the most surprised. - I know.
I'm sure she's a comedienne.
- She could be a comedienne. - That's right.
Everyone who was in that program with me said...
that Moon Ji Ae is hilarious.
I hope to see you more often in different programs.
Thank you.
Moon Ji Ae visited MBC after a long while...
and showed her funny side.
Please give her a round of applause.
Let's go!
(It was good to see you again.)
Being on TV is like that.
Not everything goes...
according to your plans.
If I am given a certain role in the future,
I will still give it my best.
It would be nice...
to meet the viewers more often after my appearance on this program.
You have listened to Moon Ji Ae of MBC's King of Mask Singer.
The third match of Round One.
The temptation of a fatal voice.
My Song is the Love,
Love Girl.
Your hearts are all mine.
(I'll get a million hearts.)
(The panelists like Love Girl.)
(Wait. Step back.)
(She's cute.)
She should be Tough Girl instead of Love Girl.
She's too enthusiastic now.
She's impetuous.
Her opponent...
has a voice that gets thumbs up.
Thumbs Up,
Good Girl.
Please tap on "Like" now.
(I like "Like".)
(The panelists like Good Girl.)
She's very tall.
She might have shoe inserts.
I think she's a model.
(Their appearances are just thumbnails.)
(There are two masked singers of distinct individuality.)
(Who will captivate the panelists' hearts...)
(and end up in a hot issue?)
This is amazing.
("Love Battery" by Hong Jin Young)
(The nation's beloved song makes everyone dance.)
(Love Girl fills the studio with her lively charm.)
(Good Girl sings with her lilting nasal voice.)
(Eye-popping)
She's so good.
She's great.
(I like you.)
(You're the best.)
(Hug me.)
(Cute)
(Excited)
(I like you so much no matter what)
(Wagging her fingers)
(Fill my heart.)
(Love Girl shows off her talents.)
(They have no idea who she is.)
(Their excitement would never be discharged.)
(I like you so much no matter what)
(Their harmony soothes people's tired and exhausted mind.)
(This is nice.)
(They're doing the dance moves like a million times.)
Who on earth are they?
I don't know.
(The two masked singers make everyone wonder.)
(Their lovely performance would conquer the timeline.)
(Dancing up and down)
(It's exciting...)
(Love Battery.)
(They're 100 percent charged.)
(They have no choice but to tap on "Like".)
It was exciting.
That was fun.
They are like Little Claus and Great Claus.
Who on earth are they? I have no idea.
The third match...
of Round One is over.
Ho Young is a trot singer here.
Right. I'm sure...
that they both have very attractive voices.
One of them looked experienced singing a trot song.
But the other didn't look so experienced.
So I guess Love Girl is relatively young.
- Because she's young, - I think she's young.
She's not used to trot songs.
So she sang the trot song...
with a relatively honest and plain voice.
Meanwhile, Love Girl sounds like she's familiar with trot songs.
If you wonder about her age,
I guess she's about my age. In her mid or late 30s.
I see. Love Girl is wearing school uniforms here.
That's why she looks young.
Do you think she's about 10 years younger than Love Girl?
Yes. More than 10 years.
The age difference between them is more than 10 years.
What's pretty noticeable is that Good Girl is very tall.
So I guess...
There's no way she can make herself short.
So they tried to make her look even taller with the mask.
They want us to think...
that she's a basketball player or something.
But I know who she is.
I even played golf with her.
- We're very close. - You played golf together?
And her drama recently came to an end.
- She acts in a drama? - Yes.
It means she's an actress.
When I said Moon Ji Ae's name,
Ji Ae was startled,
and Seong Ju was shocked. We all saw that.
(As soon as he mentioned Moon Ji Ae's name...)
(Surprised)
(Flustered)
I think the production staff...
have trained the masked singers...
how to react when they get caught.
As soon as I started talking,
Seong Ju and Good Girl...
shrank back in surprise.
They'd need some mental training.
- We're just fine. - I know who she is.
My acquaintances are here today.
All right. If you say so.
He's taken aback.
Gosh, it's hard today.
- I bet Love Girl is a kid actress. - A kid actress?
She's wearing school uniforms...
to deceive us twice.
She's a student for real.
Her voice sounded...
like a teenage girl.
I have someone in my mind.
The girl from the movie, "Miracle in Cell No. 7".
- The child actress from the movie. - Kal So Won?
- She's Kal So Won. - She might be her.
She's not that tall though.
I saw So Won doing stage greetings before.
She says she's worried that she's too short.
- She's still short? - She's short.
I'm sure she's not Kal So Won.
I also think she's a child actress.
I think she's Kim Hyang Gi.
- Kim Hyang Gi? Right. - She sounds like her.
Right. Kim Hyang Gi.
- I might have a prejudice. - Kim Hyang Gi.
(Searching her name on the Internet)
- That's right. - Kim Hyang Gi.
Kim Hyang Gi's new movie...
will be released soon. It's called "Student A".
Really?
- She might be Kim Hyang Gi. - Look at Seong Ju.
- Seong Ju is shivering. - Kim Hyang Gi.
She's grown 20cm since she appeared in "The Wailing".
- She's grown 20cm? - Yes.
- You know what? - Kim Hyang Gi was in "The Wailing"?
I host an entertainment TV show.
- Kim Hyang Gi is... - Hyang Gi wasn't in "The Wailing".
That's Kim Hyang Gi.
- "The Wailing". - She was in Ha Jung Woo's movie.
The one about going down to the shades.
(Going down to where?)
- It's the "Along with the Gods". - Going down to the shades?
- Going down to the shades? - It's not "The Wailing".
- What are you talking about? - I'm sorry.
I think she's Kim Hwan Hee.
- Kim Hwan Hee? - Yes. Kim Hwan Hee.
- Kim Hwan Hee. - Kim Hwan Hee.
Do you think she's Kim Hwan Hee?
He's even more shocked.
(Look at him shocked.)
He's shocked.
We need a new host.
He just can't lie.
The host needs some mental training first.
- So she's an actress. - He's a coward.
So she's an actress?
She's Kim Hwan Hee.
Seong Ju looks so disappointed behind those glasses.
- I'm so sorry. - Lai Kuan Lin...
is watching his face with binoculars.
Okay.
All right. Now, I'll let you see their specialties...
so that you can figure out their identities.
Love Girl...
will show you a boy group dance.
The dance is going to be quite intense,
so she will go and get changed.
Please hurry up, and get changed.
She runs like a kid.
- She's a kid. - She's a kid.
She's a kid. She's a teenager.
(Is she a child?)
It's a very bad day for you, isn't it?
If she's to promote "Student A", she has to wear a school uniform.
Right. She's right.
Right.
Bong Sun is good.
(Please praise me.)
(You're the best.)
Bong Sun is good.
(Love Girl changes into gym clothes and comes out.)
- She's wearing gym clothes. - "Student A".
- They look like her clothes. - Right.
I will find out who she is.
How can you wear like that? You should've told me.
She mentioned the film "Student A" a lot,
so she must be happy.
She doesn't care if we find out her identity or not.
- She got what she wanted. - Yes. That's what she wanted.
Anyway, give her the music.
(She will do a boy group dance.)
(It's BTS' "Boy In Luv", which girls love.)
(She's full of rebellious spirit.)
(She surprises them.)
(Forget the cute and lovely Love Girl...)
(right now.)
(She passionately moves her shoulders, )
(and the panelists are shocked.)
She's like a boy.
(She's got the groove of a tomboy.)
(Do you still find me cute?)
That's it.
(The cute girl surprised us with her powerful dance.)
Isn't she an idol member?
She's got swag.
It suits her well.
Your thoughts must have changed.
She's got the middle school girl's groove.
All right.
Do you agree, Min Hyun?
Yes. She might be an idol.
There's a chance that she might be an idol, right?
(Finally, someone suspects her of being an idol.)
No way.
He's the expert.
If an idol says she's an idol, she must be an idol.
What are the chances that she might be an idol?
About 20 percent.
What matters is that there is a chance.
- Right. - That's generous.
I think she might be a rookie idol like me.
By the way she's standing,
I feel like I'm looking at myself.
Do rookie idols stand with their hands folded?
- They do. - Right.
If she was an idol, she wouldn't have danced.
The fact that she danced means that she's not a singer.
I guess you could guess that.
All right. It's Good Girl's turn now.
Good Girl will make you feel happy.
(Hello.)
Good Girl will make you feel happy.
(Oh, my gosh!)
(People are already happy.)
She will dance and make you feel happy.
Let's see what it is. Music, please.
(Ms. Endorphine Booster starts dancing.)
(The magic spell turns Orange Caramel into fish...)
(and Good Girl into chicken.)
It's Orange Caramel's song.
(When you're not feeling good, dance like me.)
(Like this.)
(The dance is strangely captivating.)
That's it.
(I feel happy now.)
Her dance makes you happy.
- She's working really hard. - It makes us happy.
Ho Young,
you are good at doing Orange Caramel's dance.
It's not really the dance.
I understand the meaning of the song.
"Should we go?"
"Yes, let's go."
"Yes, let's go." Your moves need to reflect those.
So you need to be a little sharper.
(That's it!)
Should we play the song again then?
- Yes, please. - Let's learn from him.
He says you lacked energy.
(She admits it.)
Music, please.
(His flapping is from another level.)
(I am the lead dancer.)
(Shall we go?)
(Yes, let's go!)
All right! Let's go!
(His sharp voice spreads throughout the space.)
(She's impressed.)
Good job, Ho Young.
(Good job!)
(Let's dance away.)
(Everyone likes it.)
Well done, Ho Young.
(Good Girl likes Ho Young's dance.)
He's great. It's time to see the last one.
Good Girl will rap with her real voice.
(That's amazing.)
She's going to rap too?
Love Girl can beatbox.
Do you think you can perform together?
You can give her the beats, and you can rap.
They will do a joint performance.
Drop the beat. Let's go.
(Beatboxing)
(What?)
(It seems a bit lacking.)
(Good Girl dances.)
She is very intellectual
(She starts doing an intellectual rap.)
(Everyone laughs.)
She's so charming
(It's shocking and terrifying.)
She makes you sick
(What is this?)
I love her so much
(What is that?)
That's it.
This is mad.
Does she call that a rap?
Who is she?
(They can't wait to find out who she is.)
- This is... - I know her, and she works hard.
- It's... - One more?
- 1 more for Gu Ra? - 1 more?
- 1 more? - 1 more?
The beatboxing wasn't good enough.
You never expected...
her to rap like this.
She will rap one more time.
Drop the beat. Let's go.
(Beatboxing)
(Her beatboxing got upgraded.)
(What?)
(Is it 2PM's "Heartbeat"?)
(It's strangely similar.)
(It's a rap.)
(Why does it sound like she's casting a spell?)
(Gu Ra denies that he knows her.)
(She's not affected by it.)
I can't believe our breakup
That's it.
(Her rapping skill is unbelievable.)
(My gosh.)
What kind of a rap is this?
It's "Heartbeat".
We apologize.
Love Girl, why are you laughing?
(You know why we are laughing.)
The rap didn't match her beat.
Right? It didn't go as expected.
- So she's said. - She beatboxed at her own pace.
And she just rapped at her own pace.
- Although they performed together, - Yes.
They didn't work together at all.
- One of them should've harmonized. - Right.
When we're confused, we need to hear from a minority.
After listening to her song...
and seeing her talents, I concluded this.
I think the things she did are the things you can't do...
- unless you are in middle school. - Is that right?
I think she is...
a child actress from MBC.
I think she is Kim Ji Young from "Jang Bo Ri is Here".
- Kim Ji Young. - Kim Ji Young.
It went from Kim Hyang Gi to Kim Hwan Hee and then Kim Ji Young.
I think...
if I were to be born again as a girl,
I would be like Good Girl.
(Will he be just like Good Girl?)
- They move the same way. - They are similar.
And they are both boring.
Looking at her body, I think she's a model.
She could be Lee You Jin, Park Dool Sun, or Byun Jung Soo.
I think it's one of them.
All right. We will now announce the result of...
the third match of Round One.
Between Love Girl and Good Girl,
for whom would the panelists give thumbs up?
Let's check the result.
(Love Girl has a fresh and cheerful voice.)
(With her loveliness, she recharged our love energy.)
(Good Girl contended against her.)
(And her singing made us raise both our thumbs up.)
(With her cheerful voice, she recharged our happy energy.)
Between Love Girl and Good Girl,
who is the winner of this match?
The winner is...
- The winner is... - The winner is...
The winner is...
(It's hard to guess which of the two charming girls would win.)
Is it Love Girl or Good Girl? The winner is...
The winner is...
(Thumbs Up, Good Girl wins.)
Good Girl won.
(Very good, Good Girl!)
(They congratulate Good Girl.)
(They also applaud Love Girl for her hard work.)
Love Girl was so charming.
How many votes did they get?
Good Girl beat Love Girl with the score of 61 to 38.
Good Girl was chosen.
Please move to your waiting room.
Please congratulate her.
We will see her again on the next round.
When I enjoy it, I will get good results.
Wait for me, masked queen.
We will now check Love Girl's identity.
While doing a solo performance, she will reveal her identity.
Please give it up for her.
(She doesn't seem old enough to understand trot.)
(Is she a young girl who is true to her age?)
(Is she a child actress?)
(Is she Kal So Won, Kim Hwan Hee, or Kim Hyang Gi?)
(Did she dance to BTS' song because she's a middle schooler?)
("Entertainer" by Psy)
(If my darling wants it)
(I can perform anywhere)
She's a rapper.
(Her rap amuses us.)
(She's really great.)
(She's got swag.)
(Her performance is exciting and diverse.)
(Welcome, Kim Hwan Hee.)
Now, Love Girl, please take off your mask...
and reveal your identity.
(Who is this cheerful girl, Love Girl?)
She is...
(Screaming)
Is she a famous person?
My gosh.
Why?
(Who is she?)
She is...
She's the playful all-round rapper, Kisum!
(My goodness!)
(Hey! What are you doing there?)
I was right! I was right!
Look at that.
(Yoon Seok guessed her correctly after hearing her rapping voice.)
Oh my goodness. What happened to me?
(Nobody else thought it would be her.)
(She tricked everybody.)
(Her rapping skill has been hidden behind the trot song.)
(Since she took off her mask, )
(it's Kisum time!)
(Kisum dominates the whole stage.)
(I'm your celebrity.)
(Screaming)
(I'm your celerity.)
(I love you.)
(She's a dancing singer.)
(She shows off all her talents she has been hiding.)
(How could you be possibly hiding this?)
(It's so exciting!)
Sing with me!
(She's the only celebrity on the stage at the very moment.)
(She wants to make people laugh.)
(It's her lovely proposal.)
(She runs around the stage like a bull in a china shop.)
(She's like a fish swimming in the ocean of beats.)
(I'm your celebrity.)
(Kisum performed "Entertainer" and everyone enjoyed the excitement.)
(This is awesome.)
(Applauding)
She's so awesome!
Why didn't I think of her when she was beatboxing?
Please introduce yourself to the viewers.
Hello, my name is Kisum. Nice to meet you.
(Even before she debuted, she went viral.)
(She showed us her charms and talents.)
(She had a fierce match with Jessi on "Unpretty Rapstar".)
(She smoothly raps to the beat.)
(She showed us her powerful rap.)
("Kisum's track tops music charts")
(She swept music charts with her great rapping skills.)
(She's a playful and cute rapper.)
(She turned out to be a great entertainer as well.)
(She is a free spirit and a professional performer.)
(Her unique rap and husky voice makes a perfect harmony.)
(She worked with many other musicians.)
(Kisum is a charming and lovely rapper who has everything.)
Some said you were a child actress.
It was so hard pretending to be someone else.
I can imagine.
I wanted to stand with my feet apart, but I was standing like this.
I know. Your hands as well.
You put your hands together as well.
- That's not how you are. - Exactly.
- She's very talented. - I didn't know a group of people...
could be so dumb together.
Why?
Think about it. It's ridiculous...
that Kim Hwan Hee can beatbox...
so easily like that. She was playing with the beats.
But nobody doubted...
that Hwan Hee was beatboxing...
- I told you. - and doing acrobatics.
(He tries to ignore the past.)
- Kim Hwan Hee? - Kim Hwan Hee.
- Kim Hwan Hee. - Bong Sun said...
her legs looked exactly like Hwan Hee's legs.
She said her legs were just like Hwan Hee's legs.
- Kim Hwan Hee... - Since we caught Moon Ji Ae,
- we trusted Gu Ra too much. - That's not it.
I was actually thinking it might not be Hwan Hee after that.
(He was so enthusiastic to make us believe that.)
(Kim Hwan Hee!)
Seong Ju said...
- Just admit it. - I hate you.
When I first heard her rapping in the beginning of "Entertainer",
I said it might be Kisum.
(When Yoon Seok heard her voice and rap, )
(he knew it was Kisum.)
I had Kisum in my mind then,
but because of Gu Ra, I went with Kim Ji Young.
- You went with Kim Ji Young. - Yes.
- He does that. - I'm very close to Kisum.
- He is. - Are you?
- How could he not know me? - I have almost...
never seen her staying so calm.
Besides, this is the first time for me to see her...
giving a performance in person.
I was reminded what an awesome friend I have.
Could you tell us what you want to be like in the future?
As you know, I just performed "Entertainer".
I want to be an all-round entertainer...
who is good at acting and singing...
no matter what genre it is.
I bet you can be like that.
- Thank you. - Kisum broke the stereotype...
of rappers and gave a surprisingly good performance today.
We look forward to seeing your next moves. Please give her a big hand.
You go girl!
(We look forward to seeing various sides of you.)
I wanted to hide myself...
behind the mask.
I told myself I will not let anybody know who I am.
It turned out that nobody really recognized me.
It was fun.
My song is the Love, Love Girl.
Love Girl was...
Surprise! It was Kisum.
I promise I will always be on television.
Thank you.
(Please give me lots of love.)
Thumbs Up, Good Girl beat Kisum...
and moves on to Round Two.
This is the last match of Round One.
He will fly directly to the throne.
Powerful Voice Makes a Surprise Attack,
Gladiator!
I'll beat the queen and open a new era!
(Swordswoman, I got you!)
(Where are you going?)
(Gladiator is too enthusiastic.)
I have a feeling he'll be powerful.
He looks awesome.
(Laughing)
His gestures remind me of Cho Sae Ho.
He walks backward like a comedian.
Here comes his opponent.
He makes a rush boldly without hesitation.
I Can Go Anywhere with My Red Cloth,
Bullfighter!
(I Can Go Anywhere with My Red Cloth, Bullfighter)
Swordswoman, stop me if you can.
(His beautiful face is unveiled.)
(My gosh, he looks gorgeous.)
(He shakes the cloth.)
He's a shy person.
He looks impressive.
His mask looks so handsome.
(Both men look trustworthy.)
- They look cool. - Masked singers...
(They climbed the stage determined and ready to fight.)
(We've been waiting for this match the whole time.)
(Gladiator hits your weak points with a surprise attack.)
(Bullfighter chokes you with his whip.)
(Which of them will move on to Round Two?)
- It's a ballad song. - A rock ballad?
(Unlike their aggressive looks, a beautiful melody echoes.)
- What is this? - What song is this?
I have a feeling that both will be very good singers.
This song must be good.
(The two fighters seem to have chosen an interesting song.)
- What is this song? - What was the title?
This is a very famous song.
(What song was this?)
("Running in the Sky" by Lee Juck)
(His sweet voice echoes in our ears.)
(Oh, my.)
(He sings back with his husky voice.)
(His beastlike deep voice hits our eardrums.)
(Surprised)
(He continues singing with a stable voice.)
(Oh, my goodness!)
(They're such good singers!)
(His voice is rough and tender.)
(Two men run toward our hearts.)
(Impressed)
(This is what we wanted to hear!)
We found great singers.
You're awesome!
(Let's have fun!)
(I love this!)
(Bullfighter sings with his charming voice.)
(Gladiator delicately sings back with composure.)
(This is crazy!)
(He even has an incredibly broad voice range.)
(He's a heartthrob.)
(To the queen's heart)
(Run!)
(Oh, my goodness.)
They're so cool and manly.
(They spread their wings and make a perfect harmony.)
(They're totally captivated by the two men.)
This is great.
(They give in themselves to the flying melody.)
(This is insane!)
(Their voices harmonize as if they've become one.)
(This is...)
(I will run there forever)
(It was a great match between two singers who play with the beat.)
(It was a stage to remember forever.)
(It gave the audience a big thrill.)
It felt so liberating.
They sounded like idol singers who star in musicals.
- They have great pronunciation. - They do.
Who could they be?
The last match...
of Round One is now over.
- Hyun Chul. - Many of us think...
Gladiator is a musical actor...
because he sings each note very carefully.
More often than not, people sing the notes in the middle lightly...
when they sing pop songs,
but Gladiator sang each note distinctly.
Especially low notes. He also sang the low notes distinctly.
Like this.
(What?)
He pressed down his voice like this...
Did you just sing a low note?
It sounded like Lee Soon Jae's voice.
In that sense, I think Gladiator...
is an experienced musical actor.
On the other hand, Bullfighter knows how to skip notes.
Even when they sang the same part,
Bullfighter skipped the unnecessary notes...
and chose to focus on the important ones.
His voice doesn't exactly sound clear...
when he sings.
I think I know what you mean.
Just like Yim Jae Beum or JK Kim Dong Wook.
But his voice isn't husky either.
That's the kind of voice he has.
- It's a charming voice. - You're right.
- When Gladiator sang, - Yes, Kai.
Ho Young and I...
exchanged looks several times.
I asked him about his opinion...
- just with my eyes. - If Gladiator is a musical actor?
- Yes. - His voice sounded familiar.
Yes, but we haven't been able to...
recognize his voice yet.
I see. You can't really tell who he is yet.
Lady Jane, you fall in love with the masked singers very quickly.
- It was hard to make a decision. - Why?
Gladiator has the voice of a good student...
whom every girl would like.
- I see. - On the other hand, Bullfighter...
- feels like an adventurer. - An adventurer?
He's like...
a free-spirited man and a loose cannon.
They have the opposite charms,
- They're the opposite. - and they sing the opposite way.
But the way I see it, they might be idol singers.
- Surprisingly, - Surprisingly?
This could be a match between...
the vocalists of idol groups.
- Both of them? - Yes.
You think they're both idol singers.
Let's hear from an actual idol singer then.
I'm not so sure about Bullfighter.
You're not sure about Bullfighter.
But I'm sure that Gladiator is an idol singer.
You're sure that Gladiator is an idol singer?
If he's really an idol singer,
I think he's someone I know.
Oh, if he's really an idol singer,
he's someone you know?
- I know him too. - Really?
You both know him?
- Yes. - Yes.
What kind of person is he?
If Gladiator is an idol singer,
he's famous for being a great singer among other idol singers.
- Oh, really? - I think...
everyone knows him.
That means Lady Jane might be right.
I'm making pretty good guesses today, right?
Right. You're doing good today.
As you'll see in Round Two,
I already identified one person.
There are singers who should've been on our show already, but haven't.
I think it's about time he came to our show.
You have someone in mind?
Well, if you agree,
please stand behind me.
Okay. Let's see what Gu Ra's instinct says.
(He makes a guess again.)
(Who does he think Bullfighter is?)
What about Ilac?
- Ilac? - Ilac?
It sounds like him, right?
- Ilac? - What do you think?
- It's not a bad guess. - Right?
- He does sound like Ilac. - It's good, right?
Yes, he has a husky voice.
- No, wait. - Ilac.
- You mean Bullfighter? - Yes.
But Ilac has a hoarser voice.
His voice is thinner.
- He's slimmer than Bullfighter. - He might have changed...
since a long time has passed.
I'm sorry, but no one is standing behind you.
- I'm not going to stand there. - You're all alone.
- I'm not standing behind you. - Doesn't he sound like Ilac?
Wasn't it the same when he mentioned...
- Kisum earlier? - No, no.
- It was like this. - I won't be fooled anymore.
Maybe Bullfighter changed his voice a little.
Don't you think he's Ilac?
He wanted people to agree with him...
so desperately...
that he even looked at me in the end.
- He hardly looks at me. - I know.
It felt like he was asking for my help.
You were the only one I could turn to.
Well, Gu Ra's guess surely heated things up.
Young Seok, what did you think?
Their stage showed how important the tone of the singer's voice is.
First of all, Gladiator...
is an incredible singer.
Musicians call that kind of voice a solid voice.
- A solid voice? - Yes.
A voice with a wick.
That kind of voice captivates you.
He has a great voice,
and he also has great singing skills.
I believe he can easily make it to Final Match.
You think he's that good? Oh, my.
He's such an amazing singer.
Does that mean Bullfighter will lose this round?
Oh, he sings with his energy.
- With his energy? - Yes, his energy.
His voice spreads very widely.
It's a very rare and unique voice.
It feels like I was getting soaked in his voice.
- I see. - Yes, it was fantastic.
Now, let's see their specialties.
Let's start with Bullfighter's voice imitations.
He will imitate Choi Min Soo's voice. Let us hear it.
I thought I could win this competition.
Because I practiced very hard.
But I think I'm going to lose.
Am I trembling?
(That's it.)
- Yes. I think he's Ilac. - What?
- You're talking about Ilac again? - I think he's Ilac.
He's not!
It's because Ilac has joined...
- a lot of radio shows as a guest. - That's true.
- It's true. - So he's used to things like this.
He reads stories very tastefully.
- Please stand behind me. - Okay.
Next, he'll imitate Jun In Kwon's voice.
It's Jun In Kwon's voice when he has a headache.
Jun In Kwon with a headache. Go ahead.
(Groaning)
Oh, my love... Gosh!
My head hurts... Gosh!
That's it.
- Gosh. - Great.
That was funny.
It sounded like In Kwon's voice.
I feel like it's giving me a hangover.
That was funny.
Gosh, he is...
It's not easy to do that.
This time, I'll let you hear Gladiator's actual voice.
He will imitate Park Hyo Shin's voice,
but he will sing a children's song. He'll sing a children's song...
in Park Hyo Shin's voice.
Let's do a warm-up first.
Try singing one of Park Hyo Shin's songs.
If you love a good person
- Wow. - Good.
That's Hyo Shin's old singing style.
I told you he's a great singer.
Now, please show us what you prepared.
(Hens in the chicken run)
(The middle-aged men love it.)
That's amazing.
(Geese on the doorstep)
(That's hilarious.)
(Goats under the pear tree)
- That's it. - Gosh, that was good.
- He's amazing. - Awesome.
He's so good.
Lastly, Gladiator says...
he's a master of spinning books.
It's also one of the panelists' specialty.
Chang Min. Would you like to help us prove his ability?
Please come up to the stage.
Welcome.
He can be good at spinning a book on his finger.
You can choose any book you want.
Please pick one first, Gladiator.
He looks quite relaxed.
That one is a hardcover.
(Gladiator chose a hardcover.)
He picked a hardcover.
Did you choose a hardcover too?
(Chang Min also picked a hardcover.)
Chang Min is showing off already.
That's enough. Please stop.
Do you want to try it too, Bullfighter?
Bullfighter.
There are some more books to choose from.
Now, hold your books.
Let's see how well they can spin books on their fingers.
Ready, set, go. Spin them.
(I want to win.)
(I want to keep...)
(my pride as a man.)
Set, go. Spin them.
(What?)
Go. Spin them.
(Gosh)
- What was that? - Wait.
- He's the worst among them. - What's going on?
What did you just do?
(Gosh, is this something hard to do?)
(Screaming)
- Wasn't that Gladiator's specialty? - It was.
I won't cut you some slack this time.
- We won't. - I mean it.
(Right at that moment)
Chang Min changed his book.
Maybe he's cutting Gladiator some slack.
Okay.
Spin the same type of books.
He's swayed a lot.
The thing is...
he changed the hardcover to a paperback,
so you should change it too.
Okay. This is your last chance.
I won't give you another chance.
Ready, set, go.
(Stay strong, my finger.)
Go. Spin them.
(Relaxed)
- Bullfighter is eliminated. - I thought he would.
I didn't expect much from him.
It's a match between Gladiator and Chang Min.
Chang Min is spinning it more stably.
Chang Min's RPM...
is higher...
Gladiator wins.
Gladiator.
(Are you watching, Gu Ra?)
Gladiator wins. He's good indeed.
He was really good.
Now, it's time to reveal the result of the last match of Round One.
Who will be the last one to move on to Round Two?
I'll reveal the winner now.
(Great technique and firm vocalization)
(Gladiator's voice spreads out clearly.)
(A powerful voice with husky charms)
(Bullfighter is good at controlling high notes.)
Between the two masked singers,
who is the lucky one to move on to Round Two last?
The winner is...
- The winner is... - The winner is...
The winner is...
(Will the Gladiator put an end to the war?)
(Will Bullfighter, who's burning red with his passion, win?)
(I want neither of them.)
The last person to move on to Round Two.
The winner is...
(Gladiator wins.)
Gladiator wins.
(The marching Gladiator wins.)
(It was an impressive and impactful victory.)
We'll see who he is now.
Gladiator defeated Bullfighter by 66 to 33.
By defeating Bullfighter by 66 to 33,
Gladiator moves on to Round Two.
Please go back to your waiting room quickly.
Please give him a big hand to celebrate him.
(Bullfighter will reveal his surprising identity soon.)
Gladiator will move on to Round Two.
I'll put on a better show in Round Two.
Be prepared, my opponent.
We will reveal his identity with his solo performance...
he prepared.
Please give him a round of applause.
(His face will be revealed with his solo performance now.)
(He has a clean voice without redundant techniques.)
(He has a unique voice and vocalization.)
(Is it the singer, Ilac?)
(Who is Bullfighter indeed?)
("Footsteps" by Emerald Castle)
Gosh, is he singing this song?
He deserves to be in Round Two.
(His low voice quietly spreads into the air.)
(He puts his heart in every note.)
(As he hits higher notes, )
(the sorrowfulness grows deeper.)
(He makes everyone relate to this song...)
(with his sad and tender voice.)
Now, Gladiator, take off your mask...
and show your face, please.
(My goodness.)
He is...
(Their eyes are wide open.)
Who is he?
Why?
He must be an idol star.
(No, it's Ilac.)
Show your face, please.
He is...
a scene stealer with a unique character,
an actor with 21 years of experience, Kim Ki Doo.
(The panelists are dumbfounded.)
(But he was such a great singer that we thought...)
(he was surely a professional singer.)
(Actor Kim Ki Doo's appearance broke people's bias.)
(Although he is nervous, )
(he keeps singing accurately with his steady voice.)
("Footsteps" touched many men in the nation and was loved a lot.)
(It feels different from how Emerald Castle, )
(the original singer, sings it, )
(but he sings it so well with his extraordinary singing skills.)
(This is the time.)
(Ki Doo's surprise appearance...)
(touched people's hearts twice as much.)
(You're cool, Ki Doo.)
He has to be a member of a band no matter what.
He is so good.
This is incredible.
He is awesome.
Would you say hello to our viewers?
Hello, I'm actor Kim Ki Doo.
I'm honored to say hello to you here.
(He debuted through "School Story" in 1998.)
(He is so good at interpreting his character.)
(He became a scene stealer with his great wit.)
(A versatile actor who can handle comic scenes...)
(and deliver delicate emotions as well.)
(As the Grim Reaper on "Goblin" last year, )
(he proved that he is a great supporting actor with charms.)
(He acted in many plays, movies, and dramas.)
(Kim Ki Doo is a unique and charming actor with 21 years of experience.)
I didn't know it's already been 21 years since you debuted.
His singing style was just that of a singer.
(He was as good as a singer.)
You haven't done any music at all?
- I've never learned how to sing. - I see.
- But he is too good for that. - Goodness.
- I was... - He is just too good then.
So surprised that Ki Doo is such a great singer,
but I'm also really happy that he's not Ilac.
I'm so happy for that.
What if he was Ilac?
Gu Ra was right many times, but...
I want to ask you something, Ki Doo.
How did you feel when Gu Ra kept saying you were Ilac?
Ilac is handsome. Honestly, I didn't want to take off the mask.
- Why did you feel that way? - Well...
Because the mask was so handsome and cool,
I think I took about 500 pictures of myself in the waiting room.
(On his way to the show...)
(and while waiting in the waiting room, )
(he loved his mask so much.)
I've never seen anyone amazed when they saw my face before.
Hyun Chul said you were good at choosing what is necessary.
He was born to be a singer.
He was born to be a singer, but he doesn't know that?
He doesn't know that,
but when he sings, his vocalization...
and his technique are those of singers.
- I'm honored to hear that. - No one told you to be a singer?
- No. - I see.
- You can try to be one from now. - Never.
I guess your wife fell...
for your singing skills, right?
- Yes, she did. - See?
She must have recognized his charm.
You said your performance is a gift for those you're thankful to.
I was finally able to be recognized as an actor...
on "Oh Hae Young Again".
After I shot that drama, I cried a lot,
and I even had a chance to shoot "Goblin" too.
I was loved so much,
so I thought about what I could do for those who love me.
And I thought it might be a good present...
to show other sides of myself.
You're right.
Behind his cheerful look,
his sincerity and deep emotions were hidden.
And actor Kim Ki Doo revealed them all today.
Please give him a big hand once again to support him.
Goodness, Kim Ki Doo.
(Please let us her your nice voice more often.)
I feel so relieved now.
I feel like I'll fly. I want to go home quickly and drink some beer.
When I was offered to perform on "King of Mask Singer",
it made me nervous and anxious.
They praised me so much.
They didn't just compliment but highly praised me.
In fact, because I love singing,
people might have felt that while I was singing.
That is what I carefully guess.
I was so grateful that they complimented me.
Bullfighter was me, Kim Ki Doo.
Please keep supporting and loving me from now too.
(Next week)
(Pleased twice as much...)
(and competitive twice as much)
(They can't control the exploding energy.)
(Their cheerful energy burst out, )
(and the panelists fall in love with their voices.)
(How dare they try to stop me?)
(I will sweep them.)
(But the masked queen faces the biggest crisis ever.)
(Who will be the one to take the throne?)
(It will be revealed next week.)
