Previously on King of Mask Singer.
The masked singers showcased their tasteful specialties,
(The masked singers' specialties delighted us.)
and their surprising identities shocked us.
And...
four fearless masked singers who are against the masked queen survived.
The Voice from CD, CD Player.
Don't Be Too Cute, Lesser Panda.
KITT, Is Long-term Parking Available? Operation Z.
Singing Is Easy, Bob Ross.
Swordswoman is on the verge of breaking Music Commander's record.
Will she be able to win for the ninth time...
and share the number one ranking with Music Commander?
It begins right now.
(It begins right now.)
(King of Mask Singer)
This is the first match of Round Two, Semi-finals.
This masked singer beat Jin of Lovelyz.
Every song she sings becomes a hit.
The Voice from CD, CD Player.
(The Voice from CD, CD Player)
(You will buy my CD, right?)
(We will buy two!)
(She seems relaxed.)
She's feisty.
I am excited.
(Her magical voice captivated the audience.)
(With a superb sense of rhythm, she played with the beats.)
(Even while rapping, she controlled the tone of her voice.)
(She has overflowing confidence in her singing skills.)
(She's got a bad diction.)
(Is she the female version of Kim Ho Young...)
(from the musical industry?)
(Her voice is thick.)
(A lot of hearts)
(She showed off her whimsical character.)
(She will be filling the stage with her voice alone.)
(Will she be able to sing another hit...)
(and get closer to the throne?)
("I'm a Fan" by Jaurim)
Whose song is this?
The guitar!
(My goodness.)
(Just like on Round One, she chose another powerful song.)
(It's like another CD has been inserted.)
(She shows off her charms with a new voice.)
(Rock and roll!)
(Her voice became sharper.)
(Her voice is very captivating.)
(The melody is very clear as if a CD is playing.)
(This is exciting!)
I love it.
I'm certain that she's an older woman.
I agree.
She dances like one of us.
(They already gave up on guessing her identity.)
(The stage gets filled with the exciting rock sound.)
(She confidently sings with her powerful voice.)
(She powerfully gives off the excitement of rock music.)
(The stage became CD Player's playground.)
(CD Player arranged "I'm a Fan" into her style.)
(We're your fans from now on!)
(Bravo)
Now, we have a female rocker.
Her voice is amazing.
She's a tough girl.
She's just like a python.
Here comes her opponent.
He beat Actor Kang Du.
With his sweet voice, he will give you a heart attack.
He comforts your eardrums.
Don't Be Too Cute,
Lesser Panda.
(It's a paradise for your eardrums.)
(He's ready to sing with his sweet voice)
Lesser Panda.
I wonder who he is.
I have a feeling he'll give a great performance.
My guts tell me he'll be great.
(He has a clean and young voice.)
(Lesser Panda showed us his soft and comforting voice.)
(He showed us the standards for rock ballad music.)
(Is he a band member? Is he Lee Seong Jin of NRG?)
(He's extraordinarily agile.)
(He's flexible.)
(Is he an idol singer?)
Wanna One?
(It's time to show us his comforting voice again.)
(To win the panelists' hearts...)
(and melt his opponent's heart,)
(what song will he perform in Round Two?)
(Behind the stage is a road stretched out to a faraway place.)
It might be a good song to listen to while you drive.
No way.
(This song is...)
("Drifting Apart" by Nell)
I got chills.
This is...
("Drifting Apart" by Nell)
(He sings the song about breaking up with a sad voice.)
(The atmosphere gets soaked in sadness.)
It breaks my heart.
(A bandage to heal her heart)
This is so nice.
(His performance drags us to the deep ocean of solitude.)
His voice is mesmerizing.
(His sad voice is gripping.)
(Lesser Panda's heartbreaking performance...)
(makes us feel like watching a breakup movie.)
(Anyone would have gone through the sadness at least once.)
(His performance reminds us of our heartbreaking memories.)
(The memories of love edges away.)
(He sings out about a breakup with delicate emotions.)
(He filled in plenty of emotions...)
It was nice.
(into every single verse of "Drifting Away".)
(The performance still lingers in their minds.)
I almost cried. I barely managed to hold it back.
His voice is flawless.
The first match of Round Two is now over.
Let's hear from the poet of King of Mask Singer,
Yu Young Seok, first.
I had to think a lot.
Both of them performed great songs.
One performed a charming song...
while the other performed a comforting song.
CD Player's performance is very rousing.
It's strangely sexual...
and unique.
- It made me feel very good. - I see. That's nice.
How about Lesser Panda?
This song is in the middle of sadness and loneliness.
His performance was not only sad...
nor only lonely.
His performance confused my mind.
(He's lost.)
Songs with such subtle emotions...
touch your heart.
(I still feel heartbroken.)
When I first watched CD Player's performance,
it sounded like trot music to me.
- Trot? - Yes.
And her vocalization sounds somewhat like folk songs.
Folk song?
She sings like this.
Not like this.
- I see. - That's why she sounds resonant.
So I think she is a famous...
trot singer. That's what I came to.
And Lesser Panda is very sly.
He sang the first verse in a calm manner,
but he sang the second verse with tears.
(The 2nd verse was full of tears.)
He knows when and how much he should bring up the emotions.
His mask looks so cute and innocent though.
He's scratching his head because he's sly.
- Is that part of his plan? - He does that because he's sly.
I think Yoon Seok...
was very sharp about Lesser Panda.
He's the minority. You think he was sharp?
- What did he say last week? - What did I say last week?
- Let me think for a moment. - Nobody paid attention to him.
We usually don't care about the minority opinions.
Even I don't remember what I said.
He mentioned several groups.
Among them...
I remember it. I remember it.
Last week, he mentioned...
- Seventeen, iKON, - iKON.
- GOT7, - GOT7.
- And... - Wanna One!
He mentioned Wanna One.
Wanna One.
(They get excited just to hear about Wanna One.)
- He's a member of an idol group? - Really?
He didn't let the minority opinion go.
This performance assured me.
So you think he's a member of Wanna One.
It's just his personal opinion.
I've been watching her and figured...
that CD Player is always moving her head.
Whatever we say, she always nods.
- She nods. - I think...
she has often been a panelist of variety shows.
You're right. Nodding is a must when you shoot a variety show.
If you look at her, you can see she always nods.
Even when we're commenting on someone else, she keeps nodding.
She always has to nod.
(She moves her head as if she's a grindstone.)
In my opinion, when we give her 10 cents,
she gives us 12 cents back.
She's the type of person who reacts a lot.
That's what I think.
- Your direction... - Yes?
You should change your direction.
- Okay. - You're drifting away too much.
Then she must be an idol.
You have the wrong direction about her.
- She's an idol. - Okay.
The moment you said we were going the wrong way,
Ha Ni came into my head.
When Ha Ni was here,
she sang songs that are completely different from EXID's...
and confused everyone.
I think this is the case.
You know what?
(Surprised)
Excuse me.
- Gosh, Shin Bong Sun. - Yes!
- That was very crucial. - I knew it.
- You should think differently. - I think...
Bong Sun and Seong Ju have some sort of connection.
What connection?
- Is it a scam? - I feel like this.
Did Seong Ju...
give you a hint?
I rarely talk to him unless we're shooting this show together.
I guess Seong Ju is manipulating her.
- Manipulating Bong Sun? - Yes.
From what I can tell,
she just sang in a totally different way...
from what she usually does for her own songs.
- Bong Sun. - Yes!
Bong Sun!
I'm getting it. I know it.
I'm pretty sure...
- I think I've got it. - there's something going on...
between them.
- Excuse me. - Everyone.
If we saw her a lot in variety shows,
we would've noticed her.
She might be a talented woman...
whom we haven't seen often on variety shows.
What are you saying?
She's talented, but we didn't see her on variety shows?
It means she's not like us.
She doesn't make a lot of TV appearances.
Gosh, Bong Sun!
Shin Bong Sun!
There must be some connection.
- Bong Sun. - This isn't right.
Bong Sun.
I'm sure they had some kind of a deal.
Anyways, because of her funny gestures and responses,
we think she might be an entertainer.
But from a musical perspective,
she has good rhythm and emotional expressions.
So I guess she might be a talented artist...
who writes her own songs...
and has many other talents too.
- Kai! - Again?
Kai! That was very sharp.
Kai.
- I want to add weight to that idea. - Okay, Yoon Seok.
When bands like Pearl Jam sing,
they sometimes lay back...
and sound like a trot or a folk song.
So I think she might be an outstanding rock vocalist.
I'm sure she's either that or one of the most popular divas.
(I see.)
She's an amazing singer.
Okay. All right.
- Thank you for your opinion. - Kim Seong Ju!
Why did you not do that?
- Why can't I get this? - It wasn't...
- It wasn't that good. - Really?
But Kai and Bong Sun were very sharp.
Now, I'll let you watch their specialty...
to satisfy your curiosity.
First, Lesser Panda will show his specialty.
He can imitate a broken puppet.
Please show us a broken puppet.
(Cracking)
(What's wrong?)
(The sound is not coming out from this mouth.)
(It sounds like he needs some pain relief gel or something.)
(A puppet with arthritis)
- It's broken. - He has a knee problem.
- He has a back problem. - A knee problem.
(He only focuses on his back.)
(His specialty makes you feel like your joints ache.)
This is it.
(Amazing)
I'm sure he's from Wanna One.
- He's from Wanna One. - Wanna One?
- Yes, he's from Wanna One. - Would Wanna One do this?
Yes. We're in the mire now.
There's no logic here.
- We have no logic here. - Okay.
If you think he's a member of Wanna One, I have nothing to say.
I'm like five-year-old Kim Hyun Dong now.
He's just simple now.
- We have no logic here. - He believes what he sees.
Okay. So that's why he's a member of Wanna One.
Now, it's CD Player's turn.
She will do a vocal mimicry.
First, she'll mimic Lee So Ra's song.
Let us hear Lee So Ra's song.
The world is just like yesterday's
And time flows
This is it. Good.
She has a similar voice indeed.
She has a very good voice.
Next, she sings Lee So Eun's song.
I hear you laughing
This is it.
She can make many different voices.
Lastly, this is Lena Park.
I don't know what to say
With my heart racing so fast
This is it.
(It's like "I Am a Singer" of her vocal cords.)
- She's so good. - She knows the point.
I don't think she's old.
I guess she was in...
a TV audition show before.
There's Baek Sae Eun from "The Great Birth".
She might be Baek Sae Eun.
She also sings while playing the guitar.
She does?
Or there's Chung Hee Joo.
She used to work with Kim Yu Na's agency...
as a musician. I found that out.
- You like "The Great Birth". - Baek Sae Eun and Chung Hee Joo.
- Chung Hee Joo? - Baek Sae Eun or Chung Hee Joo.
- Chung Hee Joo. - So I'd like to ask...
for about 20 minutes by myself.
I'll check a few things with the managers.
- I need only 20 minutes. - Don't do that.
I'll assign tasks to all of you.
Then it will take only five minutes.
I'm sure she was in a TV audition show.
I don't agree.
You don't have to check it with me.
(Sulky)
All right. I'll give you the last hint.
Lesser Panda will show you his dance.
An idol dance.
Show us. Oh, he's taking off his robe.
Music, please.
("The Eve" by EXO)
It's EXO's song.
(His moves unleash a strong response.)
(The charisma behind his mask)
(Dancing waves)
(I'm Lesser Panda.)
(The dance was short but intense.)
(Screaming)
He sure is something different.
That was so cool.
It was amazing.
You're putting it on inside out.
(Thank you.)
(He's cute.)
Now, let's find out...
the result of the first match of Round Two.
Who do you want to see again in the next round?
I'll now reveal the winner of this match.
(She has a unique but ear-catching voice.)
(Her voice sent the audience to the unknown.)
(The Voice from CD, CD Player has a magical voice.)
(His emotional voice brings back the sorrow of parting.)
(He's lonely but brilliant.)
(Don't Be Too Cute, Lesser Panda gave a sentimental performance)
Between CD Player and Lesser Panda,
who will win this match?
The winner is...
- The winner is... - The winner is...
- Who's the winner? - Show us.
(Who will be the first voice to threaten the Queen of Mask Singer?)
Who's the first masked singer...
to move on to Final Round?
The winner is...
(Don't Be Too Cute, Lesser Panda wins!)
Lesser Panda.
(Lesser Panda touched the hearts of the panelists.)
(CD Player, who has an attractive voice, lost the match.)
I really liked CD Player's deep voice. Why...
Lesser Panda beat CD Player...
with a score of 58 to 41.
(He gets hearty cheers.)
Lesser Panda, you've moved on to Round Three.
Please go back to your waiting room.
Please give him a round of applause.
(The shocking identity of CD Player will be revealed soon.)
- All right. - You were very good.
I'll show you an interesting performance in Round Three.
It's time to reveal CD Player's identity.
- Who is she? - Please move to the back.
Now, CD Player, please take off your mask...
and reveal your face.
(Her voice is critical and has a stimulating temptation.)
(A trot singer?)
(Or an idol?)
(A singer-songwriter?)
(Is he correct?)
(They closed in on her with correct answers.)
(Is she a rock vocalist or a diva?)
(What's her heart-throbbing identity?)
CD Player, please take off your mask...
and reveal your face.
(They're excited to see her.)
(This is amazing.)
- She has yellow hair. - Yellow hair?
My gosh.
(They have no idea.)
She is...
the singer of "Sweetheart", which topped music charts,
and the vocalist of SEENROOT,
Shin Hyun Hee.
- Shin Hyun Hee? - She's Shin Hyun Hee!
(Unbelievable)
(Surprised)
You always talked about her.
I talked about her all the time.
(Frustrated)
Please say hello to our viewers.
Hello. I'm the amazing oriental cheerful acoustic duo,
SEENROOT's giant Tinker Bell in Hongdae,
Shin Hyun Hee. Nice to meet you.
All right.
(Sweetheart)
(She's the number one leader in acting cute.)
(Their song became a huge craze.)
(It topped the music charts 2 years after its release.)
(And she's the pleasant main vocalist of SEENROOT.)
(They're the acoustic indie band with 4 years of experience.)
(By showing off their unique color,)
(they've received the young folk musician award.)
(And they've proved their unique talents and ability...)
(by taking over drama soundtracks.)
(With their brilliant and pleasant live performances,)
(they communicate freely with their audience.)
(She's the lovely musician, Shin Hyun Hee.)
- Shin Hyun Hee. - I mentioned her name many times.
Gu Ra was so suffocating back there.
He mentioned her name so many times, so we finally invited her.
(Shin Hyun Hee)
(He called out for her name so many times.)
(He guessed her name towards other masked singers.)
When she's finally here...
Her hair has grown a lot.
My hair is originally short, but I wore a wig today...
to make you confused.
Is that right?
That's really not necessary.
- I wanted to do it right. - She just wanted to do it right.
I met Gu Ra once on "Radio Star" before.
He even told me...
that he'd see me on this show at that time.
- Really? - Yes.
But she came out here after two years.
She wore a wig and faked her dialect too.
So how should we be able to guess her identity right?
- Her dialect is real. - I know.
A lot of people think it's Busan dialect,
- but it's actually that of Daegu. - Gosh.
- He remembers it. - I do.
I also remember that her mother runs a clothing store.
I didn't know you were that much interested in me.
Thank you.
How is Root doing?
- He's doing very well. - I see.
The song which they released in 2015...
topped the music charts after two years.
She's the singer of "Sweet Heart".
I heard it took only five minutes...
to make that song. Is that true?
Yes, it took about 4 minutes and 30 seconds.
You got some kind of inspiration?
It was one sunny day.
I was playing my guitar at a cafe.
Then the background suddenly felt so beautiful.
I wondered what was beautiful and realized it'd be love.
I wondered what fresh and young love meant and thought it'd be flirting.
- I wanted to sing about flirting. - About flirting.
Then I ended up making a song...
about two people who like each other...
but are too shy to express their feelings.
- I see. So that's "Sweet Heart". - "Sweet Heart".
- That's how the song came to be. - Yes.
As a musician myself, I believe there's no right or wrong in art...
even though there happens to be victory or defeat.
I hope she continues to keep her unique color.
Thank you.
We're excited to see her future activities.
She's showed off her other charms...
that are different from the familiar voice of "Sweet Heart".
Please give her a round of applause.
- Thank you. - Go for it.
(We hope to see this lovely singer more often.)
(Hyun Hee is the best.)
My family will be so happy to see me on TV.
I'm on TV.
I just love to sing and make music.
It never gets boring.
But by experiencing special occasions like this,
I think I'll be able to enjoy music much more.
The Voice from CD, CD Player...
was Shin Hyun Hee.
Please love and support me. Goodbye.
(Cute)
As the result of Round Two,
Lesser Panda won against Shin Hyun Hee of SEENROOT...
and advanced to Round Three.
It's the second match of Round Two.
He won against Jung Yi Rang.
Now, his real operation to end the match will begin.
KITT, Is Long-term Parking Available?
Operation Z.
(Let's go straight to the throne.)
(He's ready for the operation.)
(Show us what you got.)
He's entering the stage like a ghost.
He's straining his body real tightly.
Right? He's minimizing his movements on purpose.
He's hiding his identity.
(His sweet, unique voice was like whispering to people's ears.)
(He gave the audience the sentimental, sweet excitement.)
(They were sure that he'd be a singer.)
(His stable vocalization gave them certainty.)
(But he looked a little awkward with his mask.)
(Would he be younger than expected?)
(Would he be a rapper?)
(Going back)
(The other way)
(His specialty was at the boundary between mimicking and mocking.)
(He's fully equipped with his smart charms on the stage again.)
(Aside from the audience's curiosity towards his identity,)
(will he take the long-time parking ticket to the throne?)
- He's getting ready. - He's going to show his real color.
(Will he show his real color this time?)
What?
("Don't Flirt" by Winner)
(It's totally different from the previous round.)
(It's unexpected because he didn't make any movements earlier.)
(Okay, I won't.)
(As he shows off his overflowing talents on the stage,)
(everyone in the studio gets excited.)
(He plays hard to get,)
(and the audience has completely fallen for him.)
(The studio is full of his cute jealousy.)
(His talent is going to make the world a better place.)
He feels like a mischievous rascal.
He's so talented.
Against him...
is the masked singer who won against Kim Gyu Ri.
He easily creates high quality resonation.
Singing Is Easy, Bob Ross.
(Singing Is Easy, Bob Ross.)
(Let's draw another masterpiece today as well.)
(Walking forward)
(We've waited for you.)
He doesn't seem like an idol singer.
- He isn't. - He's not an idol singer.
He's muscular.
I'm very curious about his identity.
(During Round One, he left deep resonation in the studio...)
(with his heavy and firm singing skills.)
(He sang like he was throwing words, but the emotions lingered deeply.)
(His voice sounded very familiar.)
(He played the drum as his specialty.)
(Then Frida Kahlo suddenly started to make turns.)
(He was taken away from all the attention.)
(I'm not interested in him to begin with.)
(Please try guessing his identity.)
(He advanced to Round Two with the panelists' indifference.)
(It's time for him to fill the studio alone.)
(With what kind of voice...)
(will he stop his opponent's operation...)
(and threaten the masked queen?)
(Bob Ross' unstoppable singing technique will be unfolded now.)
It's raining on the screen.
("Downpour" by I.O.I)
(His low-tone voice moistens the audience's ears in a second.)
(He delivers the emotions as he sings calmly.)
(He sings in his low-tone voice without using any techniques.)
(His unique sentimentality fills the studio.)
(Bob Ross's voice is rough and warm.)
(The panelists' hearts become moist.)
Who is he? His voice sounds familiar.
He is like a mix of Sung Si Kyung and Kim Tae Woo.
(He is so good. KITT, help me.)
(The performance becomes more sentimental.)
(Thunder and lightning of emotions has followed Bob Ross' "Downpour".)
(His performance leaves lingering emotions.)
(We don't think this downpour will stop.)
(Thunderous applause)
I got goose bumps.
My goodness.
(They are moved beyond words.)
(She can only scream.)
The second match of Round Two came to an end.
Kai, what did you think about the performances?
I don't know if Operation Z is following...
a concept or not.
When he entered the stage for Round Two,
he walked without any energy.
His swag exploded when the performance began,
but he exited without any energy...
when the performance ended.
I don't know if it's a strategy to keep his identity hidden.
And what about Bob Ross?
Queen of Mask Singer must have watched his performance.
- A Woman of Her Own, Swordswoman. - She must be extremely nervous.
(How did he know?)
I wanted Bob Ross to know that.
He has enough skills...
to take down Queen of Mask Singer.
And on behalf of the panelists, I would like to say...
that they are already rooting for Bob Ross.
(Are they already rooting for Bob Ross?)
- Many panelists fell for his charm? - That's right.
The way he sang dryly...
- My gosh. - truly moved people's hearts.
I think he is an amazing musician.
Okay. Ho Young, what did you think of the performances?
I will start with Operation Z.
Relationships between older women and younger men are common now.
In women's eyes,
he was someone who used to be like a younger brother.
Then he suddenly transformed into a man.
(He showed his manliness.)
I kept telling Bong Sun...
that he is flirty...
and charming.
Even though he is flirty himself, he tells others not to flirt.
- I know. I know. I know. - Why did he sing "Don't Flirt"?
- You think he is flirty? - That's right.
As for Bob Ross,
I couldn't help but notice his thighs,
(Thighs)
chest,
and wig.
I now see why everything is big in size.
His voice reaches far in refreshing way.
I think his voice travels through his thighs, chest,
and all the way up to his head.
He is incredible.
I thought to myself that...
he would make the perfect Quasimodo in "Notre-Dame de Paris".
- Really? - Yes.
He has the perfect body...
for the role.
I am close to calling people to recommend him for Quasimodo.
- You recommend Bob Ross. - Yes, I do.
- Bob Ross sang "Downpour". - Yes.
Throughout the performance,
I felt like I was in a downpour.
The whirlpool of emotions swept me away.
- They swept you away. - As soon as the song ended,
the downpour stopped.
"What is this?" I couldn't help but think that.
It was incredible.
- As for Operation Z, - Operation Z.
I have a feeling that he is eccentric...
on and off the stage.
I have a feeling that he is free-spirited.
You can't predict what he will do.
He doesn't follow the rules.
He shows himself through his music...
and his gestures during the performance.
Operation Z doesn't react to anything.
That's swag.
I feel like he is a cardboard panel cut out next to me.
He doesn't even move an inch. You are listening, right?
It could either be swag...
or the need for IV drips.
(Laughing)
- He might need IV drips. - I see.
- He might lack the energy. - That's right.
Maybe he is resting after using his energy on the stage.
You think he might need IV drips. All right.
If Operation Z...
is who I think he is,
he is Lee Yoon Seok among the idol singers.
Does he need IV drips?
- He is like Lee Yoon Seok. - Is he really weak?
He is usually lethargic.
However, he becomes energetic on the stage.
The description suits Operation Z's behaviors.
Yes. Upon hearing him sing one line,
I became certain of my guess.
(Who is he?)
Gu Ra, you seem to be deep in your thoughts.
- I figured out the situation. - Did you figure out the situation?
The panelists who oppose Queen of Mask Singer think...
he will take the throne. It's like King Injo's coup.
Northerners were in power,
but Westerners...
led a coup with a prince.
He is knowledgeable.
Bob Ross could be like King Injo.
- Some panelists support him. - That's right.
The panelists are talking.
Those who support Bob Ross are opposed to Queen of Mask Singer.
- They want Bob Ross... - That's right.
- to come into power. - Can he become King Injo?
Can he become King Injo?
You had a chance to study King Injo's coup again.
The two masked singers will show their specialties.
First, Bob Ross...
will imitate three people.
But he will keep it short and sweet.
Let us hear Kim Dong Ryul's voice.
(Now)
Let's end it here.
- I just got ready to listen. - It was so short.
It's hard to discern how good his specialty is.
Now, he will imitate JK Kim Dong Wook.
(Everyone)
Let's end it here.
(Who is he?)
(It ends before you get into it.)
Lastly, he will imitate Yim Jae Beum.
(How)
Let's end it here.
It was a snippet of "Confession".
Now, Operation Z will show his specialty.
He will boast the size of his mouth.
- Operation Z. - I think...
Bob Ross has a big mouth. Let's take his measurement as well.
Then let's measure Bob Ross mouth too.
Among the panelists, who has the biggest mouth?
Let's see.
Jang Hyuk has a small mouth.
He has a big mouth.
Hyun Jun.
- Han Hae. - Han Hae.
Han Hae, who resembles Yu Hui Yeol.
Then Operation Z will go first.
Here is a lipstick.
Please put it on your lips.
I will slide this under your mask. Don't smudge the mark.
Here you go. Don't get the lipstick on the tip.
Slide it in there.
Open your mouth. There you go. Open your mouth.
Stamp your lips.
He stamped his lips.
(How big is Operation Z's mouth?)
- Show us. - Here it is.
He did it.
- My gosh. - I'll measure it with a ruler.
This is the lower lip and this is the upper lip.
- Is it that big? - I'll use a ruler.
It's 9.8cm.
The size of his mouth is 9.8cm.
It means he can almost put a 10cm long ruler in his mouth vertically.
I know. It's only 0.2mm short.
Operation Z's mouth is 9.8cm.
What about Bob Ross?
Put it on nicely.
- Bob Ross, open your mouth. - Open it wide, Bob Ross.
- It's done. - Bob Ross.
Bob Ross.
My gosh, he put on too much lipstick.
- Is it good? - This is Bob Ross's mouth.
I knew it.
That's it.
I can see it even from here.
That is a lot.
He's good at variety shows. It's a perfect circle.
I can see it even from here.
I'll measure Bob Ross's mouth.
It's 8.4cm.
Bob Ross's mouth is 8.4cm.
It's okay. Bob Ross made a circle.
- It's a circle. - It's 8.4cm.
Now, it's the panelists' turn.
Han Hae, I'll put the lipstick on your lips.
I'll do it for you.
Your lips.
I'll put it on nicely.
(Shutting his eyes tight)
(Why are his eyes closed?)
- I've never had such a feeling. - Really?
This is the first time I've felt like this.
That's too close.
You two look good together.
Okay. It's done. He looks pretty.
The panelists will do it on this board.
Okay. That's good.
(This is so funny.)
Look at the camera.
Just pocket your pride. Good.
You can do this!
Ready. Start.
Open your mouth.
- He did it. - Han Hae is good.
Han Hae, that was good.
Han Hae's mouth is 9.5cm.
My gosh, Han Hae.
9.5cm.
He tried his best, but it was only 9.5cm.
- It's Hyun Jun's turn. - Hyun Jun has a big mouth.
Don't open it so wide though.
Open your mouth and do it at once.
- Stamp it. - He's going to win!
- It's done. - He'll win.
I'm sure it's bigger than 10cm.
It's 9cm.
(Hyun Jun's mouth is 9cm.)
- So the winner is Operation Z. - All right.
With the record of 9.8cm.
We have to admit that it's his specialty.
It turns out that Operation Z has the biggest mouth.
Now, it's time to dance.
Operation Z can dance...
with the nimblest and lightest moves.
These are the nimblest and lightest dance moves by Operation Z.
Music, please.
(Fluttering from the beginning)
That's very light.
(Let's fly.)
(Hopping)
The lightest moves ever.
(He even hops through the clouds.)
Very light dance moves.
(Watching carefully)
(Swinging arms here and there)
(Which one is Operation Z?)
(Before he flies further away,)
(he stops dancing.)
This is it.
He's very nimble.
It was the world's lightest dance moves.
He's full of energy.
Bob Ross, can't you do that?
Bob Ross, why don't you... Bob Ross can do this.
Bob Ross is good.
Dance to the music, Bob Ross.
Music, please.
(I can't dance only with my shoulders forever.)
Oh, that's good.
- Dance lightly. - More lightly.
(Let me fly.)
(Let's go, Bob Ross!)
Okay. That's good.
(Trying hard to jump lightly)
- Bob Ross is trying hard. - That's light.
- Bob Ross. - You're not heavy.
- You're light. - Bob Ross.
You're not heavy.
(He's slightly offbeat.)
That's funny.
That's it. He tried his best.
- He tried his best. - I guess he's old.
(Bob Ross tried his best.)
Those who are against the Queen of Mask Singer...
want him for the next king.
- He's the one. - They liked him.
He's good enough to be our king.
- He deserves to be the king. - He really does.
He follows the public sentiment.
- He's a self-giving man. - He's very good.
This is Round Two, Semi-finals.
Whose voice did you choose?
Let's find out who will move on to Round Three.
(He showed a lovely performance full of talents.)
(Operation Z has a fascinating charm.)
(He gave a plaintive performance with a heavy voice)
(Bob Ross touches people's hearts with his emotions.)
Operation Z...
or Bob Ross?
Who is the winner of this match?
The winner is...
- The winner is... - The winner is...
(The winner is...)
(Who will be singing against Lesser Panda?)
(Just tell us already.)
The winner of this match is...
The winner is...
(Singing Is Easy, Bob Ross wins.)
Bob Ross wins.
(The winner is Bob Ross.)
(I knew it!)
Operation Z has a big mouth though.
Bob Ross beat Operation Z...
with a score of 78 to 21.
He won by a landslide...
and moves on to Round Three.
Please go back to your waiting room.
Please give him a round of applause.
(The fascinating identity of Operation Z will be revealed soon.)
I'll show you a perfect performance in Round Three.
He looks very attractive...
when he sings and dances.
But he isn't doing such activities, he looks very lethargic.
That's Operation Z.
Who on earth is he then?
Let's find out his identity. Please move to the back.
(Who are you?)
Now,
Operation Z, please take off your mask...
and reveal your face.
(Operation Z has a free spirit.)
(Whatever they say, he remains unresponsive.)
(That's his charm.)
(He might need some medicine.)
Stamp it.
(He has a big mouth of 9.8cm.)
He's passionate when he sings.
When he's not singing, he's just lethargic.
Operation Z.
(Unbelievable)
He is...
What?
Why?
He's passionate when he sings.
When he's not singing, he's just lethargic.
Operation Z.
He is...
a cute and smart member...
of the unique boy group, Block B. He's Park Kyung.
- He's Park Kyung! - Park Kyung?
(The identity of Operation Z shocks everyone.)
Someone talked about Park Kyung earlier.
Han Hae did.
(Han Hae guessed that Operation Z might be Park Kyung.)
(A rapper with a sweet voice...)
(who tops music charts all the time.)
(Park Kyung of Block B)
He was right at first.
Please say hello to our viewers.
Do you wanna be? Block B! Hello.
I'm Park Kyung of Block B.
(He made his debut as a hip hop band, Block B, in 2011.)
(He's a lovely, mischievous rapper.)
(Freewheeling performances and unique concepts)
(He's an all-around vocalist with an emotional voice.)
(He dominated all awards ceremonies...)
(and even topped music charts with his first solo hit.)
(He's a rising star for collaboration works.)
(He always gives correct answers.)
(He even solves difficult questions without any problems.)
(He's the smart cutie in the entertainment world.)
(To boast my IQ)
(He's a member of Mensa.)
(Park Kyung of Block B has a chameleonic charm.)
Park Kyung, you do have a really big mouth.
- It's really big. - It's 9.8cm.
He has a broad smile.
We didn't know that.
- I know. - He has a very big mouth.
I heard there was a bias...
that Kyung wanted to break in our show.
That it's not his job to solve questions.
He's a singer.
(He's right.)
He's here to say that. Is that true?
Yes. It's not a bias though.
People just don't know that I'm a singer.
When people see me, they just call me a smart cookie.
So I wanted to tell people...
that I'm a singer.
Okay.
But are you usually lethargic...
unless you're singing or dancing?
I've heard a lot that I'm like him.
- Who? - Lee Yoon Seok.
- Really? - I always look tired and exhausted.
- I think we're very much alike. - You are?
You should give him some oriental medicine.
We should get together and have some oriental medicine.
- People like us live long though. - I see.
There are people who are always lethargic...
but become passionate when they listen to music.
They are just born to be musicians.
I believe he will be able...
to compose good songs with his own colors.
All right.
With good rapping, singing, and stage manners,
he made a strong appearance as a singer today.
Please give Park Kyung a round of applause.
(We look forward to Park Kyung's future endeavors.)
(Han Hae!)
- I had no idea I'd see you here. - Me neither.
I didn't know you were going to be here today.
- I had no idea. - I just saw you here.
(They didn't know about each other's appearance.)
I thought I'd mention someone similar, so I mentioned you.
- You knew it was me. - I didn't know.
As soon as I went up the stage, I saw Han Hae and got surprised.
I knew he was going to recognize me right away. And he did.
He said, "Isn't he Park Kyung?"
And that made me think I should've disguised myself better.
Ever since I began to write songs,
I wanted it to convey the emotion I intended,
so I recorded the guide. And that made me...
get more interested in singing.
So I want to seize every opportunity...
and sing songs of different genres.
(He wants to try singing songs of different genres.)
Operation Z was Park Kyung.
Please continue to love me and my music.
Thank you.
Singing Is Easy, Bob Ross...
beat Park Kyung of Block B and made it to Round Three.
The mysterious music show, King of Mask Singer.
To stop Swordswoman from winning for the ninth time,
two masked singers have made it to Final Round.
Please welcome them with a big round of applause.
Who will become the queen's rival?
There are two male vocalists.
Lesser Panda and Bob Ross.
Will she succeed to win for the ninth time...
and share the number one ranking with Ha Hyun Woo?
They will be performing on a special occasion.
We are curious about how you feel right now.
Lesser Panda, do you want to go first?
I didn't think I'd come this far.
(He takes a peek at the queen.)
I hope she wins for the ninth time.
(What?)
You can't be weak.
- You have to get your act together. - Okay.
(He's cute.)
Be strong. Challenge her.
Can you talk to her?
There is no way you will win for the ninth time.
He's got a very soft heart.
He's a cutie.
Bob Ross...
is dreaming of overthrowing the crown.
You can talk to the queen.
Hello.
(Hello.)
(He's polite.)
I am Bob Ross, and I'm dreaming of dethroning you.
(Hello.)
You will never win for the ninth time.
(You will never win for the ninth time.)
(He's funny.)
They are both too nice.
Swordswoman, you've watched them. How do you feel?
Today is...
a very important day.
They both sing very well.
And I can guess who they might be.
Yes. They are the singers I am watching carefully.
- They are very menacing. - Very menacing.
Today is the showdown day.
(You will do well.)
The queen's reign has lasted for a very long time.
But both of the contestants are men.
We will begin Round Three, Final Round.
Let's watch Lesser Panda's performance first.
(Lesser Panda will attack first.)
(They are excited.)
Let's go. Let's go. Let's go.
Let's go, Lesser Panda.
(He's very close to making it to Final Match.)
(What kind of a performance will he mesmerize us with?)
(Cheers!)
(To able to beat this man, who thinks singing is easy,)
(and to stop the queen from winning again after 8 victories,)
(he prepared his last hidden card.)
(The intro excites us.)
It's "Appearance".
("Appearance" by Kim Bum Soo)
(Cheering)
It's so good!
(His exhilarating voice makes us open our eyes wide.)
(House Band)
(You)
(Even with our eyes closed,)
(his performance will linger in our eyes.)
(It must be love)
(We love this singer.)
(This is crazy.)
(Lesser Panda leads the music trip.)
(He freely controls the dynamics of his voice.)
(Our hearts feel ticklish as if we are in love.)
(Oh, my heart.)
(His voice goes up high like a speedometer of a fast car.)
(Even if he doesn't move much,)
(his magical voice excites us.)
(He's the best.)
(With his innocent face, he dominates the stage.)
(It must be love)
(This is why)
(You came)
(To me)
(Lesser Panda's "Appearance" made us fall in love for a moment.)
(I love you.)
Bravo!
(The love trip with Lesser Panda beat the heat.)
His voice is so handsome.
His voice is very liberating.
Contending against him...
is this masked singer who beat Kim Gyu Ri and Park Kyung.
He's the singer with the singing ability that cannot be copied.
Singing Is Easy, Bob Ross.
(Singing Is Easy, Bob Ross)
(Should I start drawing?)
(Please hurry up.)
I am so excited.
Please sing easily for us.
His voice is my type.
(Bob Ross showcased his best work last time.)
(Everyone's attention is on his fingertips.)
(To beat Lesser Panda who is armed with cuteness...)
(and go to the throne,)
(What would Bob Ross' last painting be like?)
("Etude of Memory" by Exhibition)
(His voice is too good.)
(Fascinated)
(With just one verse, Bob Ross already catches our ears.)
(Impressed)
(His sweet voice makes us hold our breaths.)
(His deep and resonant voice breaks our hearts.)
(This is so nice.)
(His husky voice pierces our hearts.)
(Bob Ross sings about the memories with his deep emotions.)
(He gets goose bumps.)
(I love it.)
I feel like I got hit by a rock.
(They can feel his emotions.)
(He sings about the sadness of the breakup with a calm voice.)
He's incredible.
(He sings about the sadness of the breakup with a calm voice.)
(His voice arouses the audience.)
(His charming performance takes everyone's breath away.)
(Bob Ross performed "Etude of Memory", leaving everyone in awe.)
(I will buy this paining.)
(It's 100 percent worth buying it.)
(They're speechless.)
Someone asked for an encore.
That was amazing.
(The emotion still lingers in their minds.)
I feel proud.
This is a king's performance.
The Final Round is now over.
Since she became the 71st queen, she's keeping her throne...
and it's now the 78th queen.
How do you feel now?
I have a lot in my mind.
Do you?
Both of them gave great performances.
I'm a little worried.
I also prepared a powerful performance though.
- I see. - Anyway...
Your voice is getting smaller.
Still, I should do my best.
- You should do your best. - Yes.
Are you confident?
Today is the showdown.
Please give her a round of applause.
She's going to get ready for her ninth defense.
Swordswoman is going to get ready for her ninth defense.
Would her match be...
Bob Ross or Lesser Panda?
Young Seok, how did you like their performances?
If I could watch such high level performances,
I could do the shooting every day.
Their performances were very touching.
As for Bob Ross...
There are theories in music...
and his music makes theories just theories.
He doesn't need theories.
Emotion is the most important thing when it comes to music.
He put a lot of emotions into it.
When he sang the first verse with the piano melody,
my mind was blown away.
(After many days)
He's incredible.
(The stage was full of his emotions.)
(He couldn't get out of the web of the emotions.)
- It was so good. - That was the killer part.
It totally got me.
It was insanely charming.
(Bob Ross' performance was insanely charming.)
But Lesser Panda's...
choice of the song was very surprising.
He performed "Appearance" by Kim Bum Soo.
His performance was excellent.
- You liked the song. - Yes.
On the internet, people can either like or dislike songs.
His song would not get a single dislike.
His tone is...
sharp and sweet at the same time.
Lesser Panda's voice was comforting my ears...
while Bob Ross beat my heart.
Well...
I think Final Match will not be easy today.
Whoever turns out to move on to Final Match,
- it won't be easy. - Exactly.
How about you, Hyun Chul?
I think Lesser Panda...
was clever about his choice.
- It was a calculative choice? - Yes.
I think he had great control over the song.
You need a strategy when you sing.
I think he's quite young...
and he thought he shouldn't pick too serious a song.
That's why he chose to sing "Appearance".
When he sang this song,
he was so cute.
Don't be too cute, Lesser Panda.
He says you're cute.
- As for Bob Ross... - Bob Ross.
Bob Ross paints the things that are far away first...
and paints the things that are the closest in the end.
He's just like him.
When he started singing the song,
he started painting the things that are far away.
Then he painted the things closer to him later in detail.
He's so delicate.
The last part he sang...
was the climax.
Then he autographed on the right corner of the painting.
It was just like that.
It was a great performance.
Gu Ra, how did you like it?
Both of them chose excellent songs for themselves.
Even if you are at a great buffet,
if you fill your first plate...
with a piece of cake,
the tuna and lamb you eat later...
won't be delicious.
You need to carefully plan the order of food you'll bring.
You're right.
Choosing what song to sing is also their ability.
I think both of them did their best.
- Their choices were successful. - Yes.
Both of them are qualified to be a prince.
Depending on what the Queen's moves are,
they could either be executed for being traitors...
- or become a king. Let's see. - You're right.
I didn't think what could happen next.
You should think about what could happen next.
If the current queen wins, they'll be traitors.
If they fail the revolution, they'd be so dead.
All their limbs will be cut.
(How dare you challenge me.)
I will then return to an onlooker.
A revolution has to be successful to call it a revolution.
Exactly. They did their best.
They did all they could do.
So you think they'll make good matches with the queen.
Ka Yeon?
I find Lesser Panda...
- charming. - You find him charming.
It's a simple evaluation.
And Bob Ross is alluring.
One is charming...
- and the other is alluring. - Alluring.
There is a difference.
Their melodious and strong voices...
made me forget about my husband for a second.
- Really? - Yes.
Honey, I am sorry.
She said that their voices are easy on her ears.
Now, I will announce the result...
of Round Three.
Who will challenge Swordswoman when she is aiming to take...
her ninth consecutive win?
I have a feeling...
- the result will shock you. - Why?
- Why? - The result is unexpected.
Really?
Lesser Panda is a romantic vocalist with a voice...
that lingers in your ears even when you close your eyes.
Bob Ross has the perfect harmony between the classic accompaniment...
and the grand singing techniques.
I'll now reveal the winner of this match...
who will move on to the 79th Final Match.
(He is a vocalist with irresistible charms.)
(Lesser Panda melted the audience's eardrums.)
(He strongly hit high notes with his heavy voice.)
(Bob Ross moved the audience's hearts.)
Who will be the winner?
Which masked singer does the audience want to see again?
The winner is...
- The winner is... - The winner is...
They are male vocalists with vastly different charms.
(Take my energy.)
(Will it be the gentle Lesser Panda...)
(or the grand Bob Ross?)
(Nervous)
(Who will be the winner?)
The winner is...
(Bob Ross wins.)
Bob Ross won.
(Singing is easy, right?)
(Bob Ross succeeds to paint all three rounds.)
It's too bad that Lesser Panda lost. He has a melodious voice.
Bob Ross beat Lesser Panda...
and won...
with a score of 84 to 15.
Bob Ross is incredible.
He was chosen to be Queen of Mask Singer's rival.
(My goodness.)
It's not easy to receive...
84 votes.
Please move to the back of the stage...
to watch Final Match.
Queen of Mask Singer's rival...
is Bob Ross.
Queen of Mask Singer, you watched my performance, right?
I will look forward to watching your performance.
It's time to meet the epitome of cuteness,
Don't Be Too Cute,
Lesser Panda.
Let's check out his identity.
Please move to the back.
Lesser Panda, please take off your mask...
and reveal your identity.
(Is he a specialist of rock ballads?)
(Or is he a vocalist of a band?)
(Seventeen? iKON?)
(A dissenting opinion posited that he is a member of Wanna One.)
Reveal your identity.
(He takes off his mask.)
(Screaming)
(I can't believe it.)
- What is going on? - What is it?
He is an idol singer. He has the hairstyle of an idol singer.
(Really?)
He is...
the main vocalist of Wanna One,
Ha Sung Woon.
(My goodness.)
- You got it right. - I got it right. I got it right.
(Really?)
(He really is a member of Wanna One.)
(This is my lucky day.)
The panelists came close.
Please say hello to the viewers.
Hello, I am Ha Sung Woon of Wanna One.
(He charmed the citizen producers in "Produce 101"...)
(and joined the debut group.)
(He debuted as a member of Wanna One...)
(and became the charismatic main vocalist.)
(He has a gentle voice that makes women's hearts flutter.)
(Cute)
(He is a talented vocalist with a wide vocal range and good skills.)
(He is a natural-born idol singer who can dance like the main dancer.)
(All of Wanna One's albums won 1st place on music charts.)
(He is succeeding as a member of a popular group, Wanna One.)
(He is back with a song that turns women on, "Light".)
(Ha Sung Woon is the rising star among vocalists.)
"On King of Mask Singer,"
"I want to sing without dancing."
That's how you came to the show.
Since Wanna One mostly has dance songs,
I never got a chance to stand still and sing by myself.
That's why I wanted to give it a try.
When I walk around the streets,
people say, "I saw you on "Infinite Challenge"."
- A lot of people say that. - You were on "Infinite Challenge".
That's about it.
So I wondered if people would recognize me...
from my voice alone. I was very curious.
I see. You saw their reactions, right?
Yes. They guessed my identity. Han Hae...
- Yoon Seok. - and Yoon Seok did.
I was surprised.
He always has a dissenting opinion.
It's incredible.
Thank you.
(You did a good job.)
Throughout Round 1, 2, and 3, Hyun Chul said...
you are incredibly cunning...
and very calculating.
He said you specifically chose songs to captivate women's hearts.
Is it true?
To be honest, I didn't think I would make it to Round Three.
I wasn't thorough with choosing the song.
- Really? - Yes.
You didn't think you would make it to Round Three?
Exactly. That's why...
I wasn't thoroughly prepared.
However, the audience liked the performance.
I was relieved.
My goodness, this guy isn't that calculating.
- No, I am not. - You aren't like that.
Hyun Chul voted for you.
Thank you.
It's very important to sing in a way that suits your age.
If you are young, you should sing with vigor.
If you are old, you should sing with shrewdness.
At your age, you need to sing with vigor.
You have nothing to fear.
Be confident, and try everything.
Try different things too. That's very important.
It's the best to live according to your age.
- Thank you. - All right.
He showed us not only an energetic performance,
but also the charms of a sentimental vocalist.
Please give Ha Sung Woon of Wanna One...
a round of applause once more.
(We look forward to your future endeavors.)
(Your fans will always root for you.)
Min Hyun and Jae Hwan, who visited the show before me,
gave me a lot of advice.
Min Hyun said I will become very nervous.
He said I will need something to calm my heart.
Both Min Hyun and Jae Hwan took cheongsimhwan,
but I didn't want to take it.
(I am older than them.)
Singing is hard for me.
The more I learn, the harder it becomes.
I wondered if I would be able to continue singing.
Thanks for the audience's help today,
I gained my confidence again.
(Thank you.)
I want to sing songs that consoles the listeners.
Please look forward to it.
I hope the viewers will be happy.
Be happy.
In Round Three,
Singing Is Easy, Bob Ross...
beat Ha Sung Woon of Wanna One...
and moved on to Final Match.
The mysterious music show, King of Mask Singer.
Now, A Woman of Her Own, Swordswoman...
will give a performance to defend her title.
If she succeeds to defend her title today,
she will have the same number of consecutive wins as Ha Hyun Woo.
She will be in the first place on the rankings of winning streaks...
alongside Ha Hyun Woo.
Queen of Mask Singer will now perform...
for the 79th Final Match.
(Swordswoman's performance begins now.)
The 79th Final Match.
A performance that is as splendid as fireworks begins now.
The 78th Queen of Mask Singer,
A Woman of Her Own, Swordswoman.
(Only Queen of Mask Singer can pass through this door.)
(Queen of Mask Singer is majestic with her 8 consecutive wins.)
(They are excited for her performance.)
Let's go!
What kind of a performance will she give?
This is nerve-wracking.
Both the audience and the queen are nervous.
(Everyone's attention is on her.)
(Both the old and new panelists...)
(have been waiting for her performance.)
(Her opponent is a strong male vocalist.)
(Will she take 9 consecutive wins...)
(and rewrite the history of the masked queens?)
- What is this? - What is this song?
What is this?
(She surprises everyone with her aggressive choice.)
("Sherlock" by SHINee)
She hit high notes right away.
(She begins to sing with a strong start.)
(What is this?)
(How will she sing a song by a five-member group?)
(Her power grabs everyone's attention.)
(Don't be nervous)
(Her overwhelming rap follows.)
She's cool.
(Showing off her cool charm)
(She freely splits the beats on the rhythm.)
(She restlessly but perfectly controls the tempo.)
(She's impressed even the audience's souls through the performance.)
(Awesome)
(This is crazy.)
I'm losing my soul.
(They're speechless.)
I've fallen in love with her.
She's wonderful at singing.
Final Match just ended.
It's her challenge for nine consecutive wins.
What are your opinions?
Kai.
Maybe it's because of the graphics on the screen,
but I have to say that she is the masked queen indeed.
Her performance felt like that of an alien,
which humans couldn't dare approach.
Along with her high-note singing, liveliness, and passion...
she had shown until now,
she unexpectedly showed her rapping today.
This performance felt like her new technique on another level.
On the other hand, Bob Ross is the opposite from her.
The warm heart hoping...
for a flower to bloom even from a dying tree...
stood out in his performance.
I'm sure that was what his stage meant to be.
The two masked singers performed in opposite ways,
but they portrayed their own emotions in their stages.
I have to say it was the best match ever.
I see.
Last time, I mentioned that no one from the East could defeat her...
and that we needed someone from the West to stand against her.
There he is from the West now.
He's an American painter after all.
He's a huge threat to her,
but the masked queen's skills...
aren't so commonly accessible.
Here's how I feel when I watch her sing.
Unlike how others do three consecutive turns in the air...
and make an unstable landing,
this person does five turns and makes a nice landing too.
That's how her style is.
She's capable of earning a full score only with her technique,
and the full score becomes art.
That's the situation here.
The peak is near, so she can't stop here.
Right? I believe she has her own strategy...
to choose this difficult song for her performance.
(Of course.)
I have a slightly different opinion from his.
I think Bob Ross' sentiments...
left a strong impression today.
The analogue sentiments came hugely to our hearts.
I can still feel the vibration that hit my heart.
Here's how I think they're different.
The masked queen is like an AI...
with a perfect singing ability.
(She's got the perfect technique and live singing ability.)
But her singing style was like some high-end digital technology...
while Bob Ross' style was like some sentimental analogue technology.
That's what I think.
You know, when a great male singer...
meets "Etude Of Memory",
it brings an amazing synergy.
It's the end. To be honest,
I thought it was a winning game for him,
but I was knocked out when I watched the masked queen's performance.
Other panelists might've felt like she was a computer,
but I did feel some analogue sentiments from her.
SHINee's songs usually have a lot of variations,
and they are unusual.
But she pulled off singing the song alone in her own style.
Her voice was blended in the band sound,
and it felt like a foreign performer's concert in Korea.
(People fall for her overwhelming charisma on stage...)
(and pledge their allegiance to her one by one.)
(Immersed)
It's my first time to watch her live performance,
but I'm impressed enough.
(Thank you.)
Did you run the exit polls this time too, Gu Ra?
- Yes, I did. - Is that right?
- Well... - I'm curious.
Then let's put together the exit polls again.
(He might get a cervical disk from turning his neck so busily.)
(She's the rookie agent of exit polls.)
He's like a baseball coach.
(His hand gestures are like those of a baseball coach.)
Here are the exit polls.
Taking the past statistics into consideration,
he's received 85 votes,
and even if he loses some of his votes,
he won't lose more than 30 votes.
- It can be considered that way. - That's my opinion.
Here's the hopeful news for the masked queen.
While watching her performance,
I thought it was fierce...
and that she wouldn't have any regrets.
- When we talked about King Injo, - King Injo.
about 13 of our panelists...
tossed Bob Ross into the air.
They did that, but as soon as he came back down from the peak,
about eight of them disappeared.
They cheered for Bob Ross.
They tossed him into the air together.
They cheered for him all together,
- but they voted for the queen. - It turned out...
- What will happen? - So four of us remain.
Like I always tell you, the Injo Coup...
wasn't accomplished by officials.
It was made possible because of the people's response.
How many of the audience will fill the void is crucial to the result.
He's up in the air, but if only about three people come,
we'll die together.
These people are talented in changing minds.
(Laughing)
They change sides in a split second.
But I have to say her performance was that impressive.
(Her performance was that amazing.)
I personally love songs that touch my emotions.
When he sang "Etude Of Memory",
it felt like a life-time performance...
of all the performances which I'd watched until then.
So I thought the masked queen's winning streak...
- Her record? - would be broken today.
But it was my first time watching her performance too.
It was the most unexpected of all.
If it was on TV,
it'd feel like the volume of TV...
suddenly went up twice higher.
I was really surprised. Bob Ross' stage resonated my heart,
but the masked queen's stage...
hit me in the head real hard.
It was so hard to make a choice.
I'm happy to be the witness of such amazing performances.
I see.
(It was hard to decide whose performance was better.)
Now, it's time to reveal the result of the final round.
This is so close.
(This is so close.)
The voting difference...
(Bob Ross versus Swordswoman)
is only three.
Which masked singer...
did your unprejudiced hearts choose?
I'll now reveal the owner of the throne,
the 79th masked king.
(His firm voice resonated in people's ears.)
(His first appearance left them an unforgettable mark.)
(And he delicately embroidered the desperateness.)
(The wave of emotions overwhelmingly swept over the studio.)
(He freely sang with a variety of voice ranges.)
(The deep resonation was created by his faultless skills.)
(His sorrowful emotions went over to desperateness.)
(However)
(Her song selection was totally unexpected.)
(But the performance was truly soulful.)
(She showed the aura of the masked queen once again.)
(The masked queen doesn't know how to fall back.)
Between Bob Ross and Swordswoman,
who is the 79th masked king?
The winner is...
- Oh, no. - Goodness.
The winner is...
I can't watch it.
(Will Bob Ross start a new painting?)
(Or will Swordswoman win for the 9th time and become a legend?)
(What will be the result?)
What is the result of the match between Bob Ross...
and Swordswoman?
- The winner is... - The winner is...
Is it Bob Ross? Is it Swordswoman?
What is the result?
The winner is...
(Singing Is Easy, Bob Ross wins.)
We have a new king.
(We have a new king!)
(Bob Ross stopped Swordswoman from winning for the 9th time.)
No way.
(Bob Ross succeeded to overthrow the crown.)
Bob Ross became the new king.
The 79th King of Mask Singer is Bob Ross.
Now, he will be given the golden mask and the king's robe.
(They struggle.)
It might be a little small.
His face is quite big.
We will get you a better one next week. Please bear with us.
All right. We have the new king.
All right.
Let's hear about how he feels. How do you feel?
(Is he shaving his beard?)
(Laughing)
(I can't find my mouth.)
Your mouth is right here.
(It's right here.)
All right? There.
That's your mouth.
Everyone, thank you for supporting my music.
I will do my best.
(He promises the audience to do his best.)
It seems like he still can't believe it.
The 79th King of Mask Singer, Bob Ross,
will leave the stage for security purposes.
Please give a big hand for him once again.
He beat Swordswoman, who was going for her ninth win,
with three more votes...
and seized the throne.
What kind of a performance will Bob Ross put on next?
Now, it's time to check Swordswoman's identity.
After an amazing record of eight consecutive victories,
she now has to say goodbye to us.
What would you like to say to us for the last time?
The time I spent as Swordswoman...
was really meaningful to me.
Thank you for your love.
(We thank you more!)
Now, let's check her identity.
Please move to the back of the stage.
A Woman of Her Own, Swordswoman has won eight consecutive times.
Now, Swordswoman,
take off the mask and reveal your face.
(Finally, she will unveil her identity.)
(She moved many people's hearts...)
(with her powerful, high-pitched voice and power of command.)
(Sometimes, she was more desperate than anyone else.)
(She didn't hold back on pushing out her emotions.)
(Every week, she put on a marvelously perfect performance,)
(and she overcame her own limits.)
(She continued to surprise us over and over again.)
(The journey of the past 18 weeks was so diversified.)
(She continued to win again and again.)
(She achieved the legendary record of 8 victories,)
(and she ranked second on King of Mask Singer.)
What other singer can give this kind of feeling?
I dare say she is a legend.
I suddenly felt very emotional.
(Her voice shook the listeners' hearts.)
(The grandness of her voice even felt scary.)
(After a long journey that was like a gift to everyone,)
(her identity is finally revealed.)
(Screaming)
(It's nice to see you.)
(Please show us your face, Queen.)
Let us see your face.
She is...
the singer who is approved by the singers as the best.
She's the monstrous vocalist, Son Seung Yeon.
(She's the heroine who has won 8 times.)
Well done.
(She's the best queen...)
(who shocked us every week.)
Go, Son Seung Yeon!
(We wanted to see you.)
Please say hi to the viewers.
Hello. I am Son Seung Yeon, a singer.
(She's the first winner of "Voice of Korea".)
(She became an issue for singing BMK's "Stained".)
(She's been a solo artist for 7 years.)
(Her version of "Let It Go" was viewed more than 5 million times.)
(Her version was chosen as the 6th most popular cover song.)
(She participated in various original soundtracks too.)
(Through many competitions, she proved her talent.)
(With delicate emotions and a deeply appealing voice,)
(she presented us touching emotions.)
(She's a talented vocalist planning to take over the musical industry.)
(Seung Yeon is the soul diva gifted to us.)
How do you feel to take off the mask?
When I was wearing the mask,
- it was easy being on TV. - Right.
I feel naked right now.
I can't look at the audience.
But it feels bittersweet.
When we first asked you to come on the show,
you said you wanted to go back to the beginning.
What did you mean by that?
I developed a condition called polyp.
I had a lump on my vocal cord.
I was supposed to get an operation.
But I came on this show...
while undergoing rehabilitation treatment.
For that reason, I wanted to test my limit.
And that took me back to my beginning.
Tell us your ambition.
You praised me that my vocal cord is like a national treasure.
I want to become a singer that represents our country.
Thank you.
I have that condition as well.
It's not about simply not being able to speak.
It burns your throat.
But whenever I saw her perform,
she looked like she was always in her best condition possible.
Every time, she showed us...
that she is invincible.
As a fellow woman,
I want to tell her that she is amazing. She is really great.
Thank you.
She was loved by many people.
Especially, Young Seok...
seems very sorry.
Of course I feel sorry.
I wanted her to go for the 10th win.
I worry about the vocal cords of two people in the world.
One person is Adele.
And the other person is Seung Yeon.
Thank you.
If things don't go well for her,
I drive well.
- I will become her manager. - That's how much you cherish her.
Her performances made me...
be proud of being a panelist here.
- I see. - Thank you.
Actually, we just let her go.
I was really happy when I was doing the exit poll.
(I was really happy when I was doing the exit poll.)
I hope you will take good care of your vocal cords...
and become more successful.
- We got really attached to you. - Right.
- Right. - It's too sad to let you go.
Right.
She showed everything she had without holding anything back.
She's the queen who has won eight times.
Please give a big hand once more...
for Swordswoman, Son Seung Yeon.
(We won't forget about your great performances.)
Go, Swordswoman!
(The queen's hidden history will be revealed.)
(She took off the mask she's been wearing for 18 weeks.)
Thank you for everything.
I feel sorry,
but I also feel lighthearted.
I feel a little sorry that I didn't get to set the best record.
(18 weeks ago, the queen came to work for the first time.)
(She was very playful.)
Can I watch from here? No way.
I want to take this home.
I won five times!
(She was the bubbliest queen in history.)
(She didn't stop reacting.)
(Screaming)
This is cute.
I am not this thin.
I am really grateful.
(It's warm.)
(He remains silent.)
(She talked to the stuffed dog to give a reaction.)
Aren't you happy to see me?
(She even created her imaginary drinking buddy.)
(She's satisfied with her reactions.)
I love it.
(After 18 weeks, she became comfortable with her waiting room.)
I love being the queen. I love it so much.
(Laughing)
From the moment I got this mask, I've been really happy.
The name "A Woman of Her Own, Swordswoman"...
sounded so charismatic, and I loved it.
But because my name was so strong,
I felt pressured to put on performances fitting to the name.
Being on this show has made me realize...
that I still have a long way to go.
Do you think Bob Ross will be able to beat the record?
- My record? - Yes.
He can never.
(Laughing)
Two weeks pass by in a flash.
You must always take care of your voice.
It won't be easy to break my record.
(Laughing)
A Woman of Her Own, Swordswoman...
was me, Son Seung Yeon.
Thank you for your love.
Cheers.
Next week.
(The 79th King of Mask Singer is chosen.)
(Is the golden mask stuck to his face?)
(Laughing)
(I am sorry. You are going home today.)
(Don't drop your guard.)
(To seize the throne, they will explode their talents.)
(Isn't that talent from the turn of the century?)
(Fancy techniques and singing ability is a must.)
(The contestants have strong charms.)
(It will be a fierce competition.)
(The result will be more than shocking.)
(Stay excited for the next episode.)
Don't you want to watch it?
(Stay tuned next week!)
