Previously on King of Mask Singer.
The masked singers unexpectedly competed with their specialties.
And we were happy to see...
some familiar faces again.
It's Kim Ki Doo.
And the four amazing singers...
got another chance to sing.
Why Don't You All Come In? Open-Air Bath.
The Blue House is behind me, Gyeongbokgung Palace.
Thumbs Up, Good Girl.
Powerful Voice Makes a Surprise Attack, Gladiator.
Swordswoman is heading to ranking first on King of Mask Singer.
Will she able to win for the eighth time?
It starts right now.
(It starts right now.)
(King of Mask Singer)
This is the first match of Round Two, Semi-finals.
This masked singer previously beat the singer, Kim So Hee,
with his singing as powerful as a strong current.
Why Don't You All Come In? Open-Air Bath.
(Why Don't You All Come In? Open-Air Bath)
(Grade 1 Natural Spring Open-Air Bath)
(Come in, everybody.)
(I will get rid of your fatigue.)
(We want to go in.)
Is he a musical actor or a comedian?
(He's great.)
We are excited for your performance.
(His voice is firm yet soft.)
(His singing touches our hearts.)
(Open-Air Bath's voice is like boiling mineral water.)
(His hot voice perfectly harmonizes with his cool singing method.)
(It's cool.)
(Is he someone from "Phantom Singer",)
(who studied classical music?)
(He's got the fun talent of perfectly impersonating people.)
(Is he a comedian?)
(It's time to mesmerize the panelists again.)
(With which voice...)
(will he enchant the panelists this time?)
(Open-Air Bath's performance begins now.)
- Sounds Spanish. - What is it?
- It's tango. - Tango?
(What is this song with a charming tango melody?)
("Besame Mucho" by Hyun In)
"Besame Mucho".
(They are surprised.)
(Open-Air Bath starts with a charming baritone voice.)
(It's wonderful.)
(His voice echoes across the entire space.)
(Oh, dear.)
He's a singer.
(He sings powerfully this time.)
(His delicate tempo control moves our hearts.)
(Kiss me.)
(Would you like to dance with me?)
(This is amazing!)
(He's a great singer.)
I love this.
(The attractive tango melody...)
(and his sweet voice makes us fall in love with him.)
It's so sweet.
(He is incredibly charming.)
(Dancing)
(They can't stop dancing to the rhythm.)
(They're so immersed.)
(Open-Air Bath performed "Besame Mucho" with his charming voice.)
(He's a great singer.)
(What took you so long to come here?)
- He's awesome. - You're the best.
You're amazing!
He's more than just a great singer. He's cool.
His gestures were similar to Kai's.
(Kai is a musical actor too.)
Here comes his opponent.
He beat Moon Ji Ae.
Isn't my song great?
The Blue House is behind me,
Gyeongbokgung Palace.
(The Blue House is behind me, Gyeongbokgung Palace)
(Here comes Gyeongbokgung Palace.)
(Long live the king!)
He's the one who imitated me last week, right?
(Chuckling)
I hope he gives a good performance.
His opponent's performance was pretty impressive.
(He has a heartbreaking and sweet voice.)
(Gyeongbokgung Palace is a stable and sweet vocalist.)
(His refreshing and comfortable voice is like makgeolli.)
(He's got to be an experienced singer.)
(His singing career has been long?)
(He imitates Hyun Chul singing.)
(He sounded just like him, but it looked like he made fun of him.)
(Is he Hyun Chul's acquaintance?)
(It's time to focus only on his voice now.)
(Everyone holds their breath...)
(and watches him with high expectations.)
(Will he get to cool down the heat from Open-Air Bath...)
(and get closer to the throne?)
(Long live the king.)
(The melody of a masterpiece gently echoes.)
I have a feeling that this is going to be surprising.
I feel somehow nostalgic.
It's "With the Heart to Forget You".
("With the Heart to Forget You" by Kim Kwang Seok)
(She loves it.)
(He brought us back to the 1990s in a second.)
(His warm voice fills our empty hearts.)
(You can't help but just listen to his magical and comforting voice.)
(I know who he is now.)
(I love you)
(Gyeongbokgung Palace's sweet voice echoes in our hearts.)
I love it.
(Gyeongbokgung Palace's sweet voice echoes in our hearts.)
My heart...
(I feel tipsy.)
(House band)
(He sings calmly as if he's recalling old memories.)
(Just like you become emotional at dawn,)
(he delicately expresses overwhelming emotions.)
(I love you)
(His resonant voice is firm and deep.)
(I love you)
(His performance touched our hearts like gentle waves.)
("With the Heart to Forget You")
(We surely won't forget this performance.)
This is nice.
- It is. - It's so nice.
It's beautiful.
I love it.
(It's hard to describe how touching it was.)
- Whom should I vote for? - Exactly.
The first match of Round Two is now over.
- Young Seok. - Yes.
How did you like it? You were very impressed by them last week.
Open-Air Bath performed "Besame Mucho".
I didn't expect to hear the tango version of "This is the Moment".
Although his vocalization...
is that of an opera singer,
he interprets songs...
like a pop singer.
He sounds like he will give you all of his heart,
but in the next moment, he takes it back.
He also knows how to yell when it's needed.
He's very skilled.
His performance is very calculated.
Even the way he loses himself is a part of his plan.
That's how he performs.
- So he planned everything. - Yes.
That's why I thought...
he gave such a perfect performance.
But I think Gyeongbokgung Palace still has a chance.
His performance is not calculated at all.
He expresses what he feels at the very moment.
He sings as if he's playing a guitar right now...
while watching the audience's reaction in real time.
He knows how he should sing.
They're both charming in different way.
It's really hard to vote for only one of them.
I'm sure everyone felt the same.
All right. Hyun Chul.
Last week, Gyeongbokgung Palace...
- imitated your voice. - Right.
He hinted us he might know you personally.
He surprised me.
- He's finally here. - He's finally here.
- Is he that great? - Yes.
If he's whom I think he is, he's a very important person...
in the folk music field.
He was first in a group, a duet,
and finally, he became a solo artist.
He's someone anyone would welcome.
And as for Open-Air Bath...
Last week, I thought his gown was...
nothing but just a bathrobe.
But now, he looks like...
someone who lives in Seongbuk-dong...
in a house where there is a fancy phone.
- A rich family. - Yes.
They often wear velvet robes.
- Yes, purple velvet robes. - Yes. It felt like...
he was wearing one when he sang.
(Besame Mucho)
It felt that way. It sounded so classy.
- Oh, you mean it sounded classy. - Yes.
He expressed the melancholy feelings really well.
- The velvet robe. - The velvet robe.
- He has a classy voice. - He has a classy voice.
Last week, the two members of Wanna One...
thought Gyeongbokgung Palace was a rapper.
Whatever I showed them, they didn't change their minds.
(They thought Gyeongbokgung Palace was a hip hop musician.)
(Even after showing his specialty aimed at Hyun Chul)
Do you still think he's a rapper?
Yes.
(They were consistent.)
They sounded quite certain.
Do you still think he's a rapper?
- No. - You've changed your mind.
He sang really well in Round Two.
I don't think he's a rapper now.
What about Open-Air Bath?
- As for Open-Air Bath, - Yes.
his stage in this round made me certain...
that he's a musical actor.
- It made you certain. - Yes.
You're convinced that he's a musical actor.
When he sang the high notes,
it sounded refreshing and passionate. I think it's his charm.
The liberating singing of the high notes.
Here is what I think. I came to notice...
that Kai and Ho Young stop talking when the masked singer...
is one of their colleagues.
I'm sure it's someone they know.
Actually, Min Hyun is a fan of Open-Air Bath.
Min Hyun often goes to see his musicals.
That's what I heard.
Min Hyun, are you trying to protect his identity too?
When he sang the high notes, his voice sounded too familiar.
I have someone in mind.
But I'm not so sure.
- No, you can have some confidence. - Really?
(What? He can have confidence?)
(When the others spoke with confidence,)
(he coldly turned away from them.)
(He only likes Wanna One.)
Do you know who Gyeongbokgung Palace is?
I think he may be a member of Travel Sketch...
or a group like that. A group like Travel Sketch...
or "People Looking for a Laugh".
It's People Looking for Songs.
Oh, right. People Looking for Songs.
It's People Looking for Songs,
- not "People Looking for a Laugh". - Look.
A member of People Looking for Songs...
- or Dongmulwon. - I see.
I think he's a member of a group like that.
Good. You've made some guesses.
They'll show you their specialties now.
Firstly, Open-Air Bath will imitate...
Jimmy Kudo of "Case Closed" introducing...
Luffy of "One Piece".
Luffy of "One Piece". Let us hear it.
Are you talking about me?
(Amazed)
My name is Jimmy Kudo. I'm a detective.
The culprit of this case...
is the one who thought I was a comedian.
Yoon Seok, it's you!
I'm sorry.
Let me introduce my friend.
Luffy!
They're pirates!
I'm going to crush you all.
Rubber rubber pistol!
(He fires a heart and wraps it up.)
- That's all. - He sounds just like them!
- He sounds just like them! - What are you doing?
- Does he? - He sounds just like them!
Do you like those cartoons?
- That was amazing! - Please speak to the microphone.
- He sounds just like them. - Really?
- He's almost like a voice actor. - He must be a voice actor.
- He's not a voice actor. - He's not a voice actor?
- I was really surprised. - He's not?
He sounded exactly like them.
This time, let's see Gyeongbokgung Palace's specialty.
He will show you a magic trick today.
A magic trick that uses paper. He will turn...
sheets of paper into bills.
Let's see if he can do that.
All right. He took out some sheets of paper.
Is that really paper?
Right. You should check so people won't suspect it.
Show us the sheets. Move them to the other hand.
There's nothing. They're just pieces of paper.
It seems like he torn them out of a magazine.
He's folding them. He's folding the paper.
He's going to turn them into bills.
He turned over his hand. He's giving it a little tap.
He gave it a little tap, and... Oh, gosh.
(How did he do that?)
Those are 50-dollar bills. They're real. My gosh.
He makes money really easily.
(It's hard to believe what they just saw.)
That's amazing.
I'm sorry, but may I go over there and check?
- Obviously, you can't. - Of course.
It's a magic trick. You can't do that.
- All right. - Well done.
Lastly, it's Open-Air Bath's specialty.
Do you know what a dead lift is?
- It says here Chang Min would know. - Yes.
- What's a dead lift? - A dead lift...
- is a way of lifting weights. - Right.
It's like pulling the weights out of the floor.
Could you show us?
- It's for your back muscles. - Here.
- Imagine there are weights here. - Like this.
Hold on. Straighten your back.
- Oh, right. - You should straighten it.
(Gu Ra gives him a tip.)
- With the weights? - Lift the weights like this.
- Just like that? - It's for these muscles.
It's a good workout for your muscles in your back.
I see. It's about lifting a barbell, right?
That's right.
(It's a hard exercise which people do with a barbell.)
Instead of a barbell,
he will lift something else.
A dead lift.
(It's you.)
- He's going to lift Seong Ju. - Me?
Me?
You will lift me instead of a barbell?
Seong Ju, how much do you weigh?
I weigh over 70kg.
- It's a person, - That's right.
so it'd be hard to lift him.
If you drop me in the middle, that'd cause me a problem.
Seong Ju is only worried about his body.
- I'm serious. - Don't worry. He's an expert.
Gosh.
- Lie face down. Oh, like that? - Cross your arms.
(Turning into a human barbell)
- Cross your legs. - Oh, I see.
Keep them crossed.
(The human barbell is scared.)
(Will he be able to do the dead lift?)
(Goodness)
(Even the audience is worried.)
1, 2.
(Lifting)
(He lifted Seong Ju easily.)
(Gosh)
All right. Do it again. Again!
(A perfect posture)
(The human barbell is unstable,)
One more time!
(but he seems to be steady.)
(Gu Ra keeps asking to do it again.)
(I'm scared.)
(It's like he's on a ride.)
(We're going up.)
(Dizzy)
(Screaming)
Now... Oh, okay.
(The ride has stopped.)
Gosh, he's...
(Open-Air Bath gave them a big laugh.)
- He's amazing. - Gosh, he's...
incredibly stronger than he looks. That was great.
I think he spends a lot of his time in the gym.
He's very muscular.
All right. That's all they prepared.
I will now announce...
the result of the first match of Round Two, Semi-finals.
- It's a close game, right? - Sorry?
Is it a close game?
It is a close game,
but the result is really interesting.
The majority of the panelists...
and the majority of the audience voted for different singers.
Who will be moving on to Round Three?
Open-Air Bath filled up the stage with the deep scent of a man,
and Gyeongbokgung Palace sang about the void and loneliness.
Whose voice does the audience want to hear again?
Let's find out now!
(Open-Air Bath's intense scent...)
(will pierce your lungs for a long time.)
(The mellowness that will be engraved in your heart)
(Gyeongbokgung Palace with an emotional voice)
Between Open-Air Bath and Gyeongbokgung Palace,
who is the winner of this match?
The winner is...
- The winner is... - The winner is...
Please.
(Is it Open-Air Bath with his powerful voice?)
(Or Gyeongbokgung Palace with his soft voice?)
(What's the result?)
The winner who will move on to Round Three is...
The winner is...
(Open-Air Bath won.)
Open-Air Bath won!
(Hot)
(Open-Air Bath's heat will go on until Round Three.)
(Gyeongbokgung Palace has lost.)
Open-Air Bath is the winner.
(The score is 56 to 43.)
Most of the panelists voted for Gyeongbokgung Palace,
and most of the audience voted for Open-Air Bath.
Open-Air Bath will move on to Round Three.
Let's give him a big hand!
Open-Air Bath is the first one to move on to Round Three.
I will do my best in Round Three as well.
Some people said his voice brings back old memories.
Who could this man be?
Is he the person you have in mind?
Now, Gyeongbokgung Palace, please take off your mask...
and reveal your face!
(He must've studied music all his life.)
(He has the ability to express his feelings of the moment.)
(He has finally come to our show.)
(Gyeongbokgung Palace is a cheerful, mischievous man.)
Gyeongbokgung Palace, please take off your mask...
and reveal your face!
(Oh, my.)
(Surprised)
What?
They're screaming loudly.
I don't think it's him.
(Is it him?)
He is...
Nam Joon Bong, the vocalist of Travel Sketch,
who has an unchanging, heart-warming voice!
See?
(Nam Joon Bong has shown up!)
(They're happy to see him.)
(They recognize his warm voice now.)
Gosh, Travel Sketch.
That's why he teased you.
(No wonder he teased Hyun Chul.)
Hello, everyone.
I'm the main vocalist of Travel Sketch, Nam Joon Bong.
It's nice to see you all.
(The coed group, Travel Sketch, debuted in 1989.)
(Their music was loved for its beautiful melody and poetic lyrics.)
(Nam Joon Bong is a master of folk music with 30 years of experience.)
(Their hit songs include "Falling Star", "Somehow It Feels Good",)
("To My Old Friend", "That's Life Isn't It", "The Best Of The Best",)
(and many other amazing songs.)
(Their songs make people's hearts relax just by listening to them.)
("Fate" has been rearranged as the soundtrack of "Reply 1994".)
(Their masterpieces never change...)
(even after times passes.)
(They have continued to release songs with various colors.)
(Their passion for music has never grown cold.)
(Nam Joon Bong has the unchanging voice that comforts people's minds.)
You still have the voice from the old times.
Is there any secret to it?
- What's your know-how? - Well, there isn't any.
I just passionately and comfortably...
had drinks.
(Laughing)
I spent many nights while drinking with Hyun Chul and Young Seok.
We promised not to let go of our passion for music...
even if it was so hard for us.
It was most important for me...
to be at ease and relax.
It's going to be our 30th-year anniversary next year.
I see.
I'm working hard to continue my career.
How was it to perform with your mask on?
Performing while having my face covered with a mask...
felt like sharing my secret stories...
to the audience.
I was reminded of the old times too.
Seeing Jang Hyuk...
and other colleagues of mine...
made me emotional.
(It made him feel emotional.)
It really touched my heart.
I see.
When we went on field trips as freshmen in universities,
we had some drinks and became tipsy.
Then someone started off in the middle of the quiet mood...
and sang, "Yesterday"
Then all the other friends sang along with him.
The last night of the field trip deepened...
and the stars fell.
His songs were the first comforting music in the country.
- Thank you. - I'm so glad...
- and honored to see him. - Thank you.
It's nice to see you too. Thank you so much.
(Thank you for coming out.)
When I listened to his performance last week,
I wanted to take his mask off...
and check his identity so bad.
I wondered why he was so good at mimicking Joon Bong's voice.
(Laughing)
Here's what I felt about his performances.
As a folk singer,
he went through so much trouble and performed countless times.
I could sense those experiences...
everywhere in his performances.
I felt so great.
It might not be so noticeable,
but many folk singers...
are still continuing their musical career.
I'm sure they will shine brightly...
in the music industry one day.
Good job today.
(He's rooting for the folk singers.)
With his unchanging sentiments and voice,
he showed us his warm and comforting performances.
Please give him another round...
- of applause. - Thank you.
(We're looking forward to seeing his great music in the future as well.)
(It was great today.)
I thought this was my chance.
During my recent performances,
I sang one of Psy's songs.
I wondered if that was why.
But it didn't last long.
(Folk music is close to you as well.)
We'll try to make a cool comeback...
with new songs that reflect people's hearts.
Please support us. Thank you.
As the result of Round Two,
Why Don't You All Come In? Open-Air Bath...
won against Nam Joon Bong of Travel Sketch...
and advanced to Round Three.
It's the second match of Round Two.
She won against the rapper, Kisum.
You feel so good as long as you're with her.
Thumbs Up, Good Girl.
(Thumbs Up, Good Girl)
(Happiness and thumbs-up to you)
I love her.
(They feel good just to see her.)
I can't wait to see what song she will sing.
(Her clear voice sounds like that of nightingales.)
(Her singing ability is slim just like her long arms and legs.)
(Does she have much experience in trot music?)
(Gu Ra has caught her in his radar.)
(Is she close golf friends with Gu Ra?)
(Good Girl knows how to have fun.)
(She's good at rapping too.)
(She plays hard to make people laugh.)
(She's as exciting as a megavolt.)
(Now, she has to fill the studio only by herself.)
(Will she manage to get thumbs-up from the audience...)
(and write a pleasant history?)
("Let's Get Departed Now" by Kim Hye Rim)
(She's chosen another cheerful song.)
I love it.
This is from the old times too.
(Its melody makes the audience want to bounce.)
(Her voice is neat and nice without any faults.)
(Like I brush off dust)
(She leads the melody with ease.)
(Her voice matches perfectly with the song.)
(Her cheerful mood automatically makes people excited.)
(Her voice is light like a gentle breeze.)
(It draws the audience's attention twice more.)
It's nice and clean.
She's got the vibes.
(Excited)
It's nice.
(Excited)
(Even the fancy instrumental performance draws a thumbs-up.)
(Her fascinating hand gestures are amazing.)
(Let's go.)
(She's good.)
(Her voice knows the charm and appreciation of the old music.)
(Thanks to her voice, she becomes twice more attractive.)
(It's refreshing just like drinking sparkling soda.)
(Dreams of)
(Meeting someone)
(Dancing to the exciting samba rhythm)
(Her performance is like the green scent in early summer.)
(It reminds the audience of their old memories.)
(Excellent)
She released the strength in her voice and did well.
She sang so lightly.
Against her is...
(Swinging)
This sound isn't from my sword.
Powerful Voice Makes a Surprise Attack, Gladiator.
(Powerful Voice Makes a Surprise Attack, Gladiator)
(Get ready to take my sword, masked queen.)
(Confident)
(He's cool.)
Gosh, I can't wait.
He's competitive.
I bet he'll do really good.
I wonder how his performance will be.
I think it'll be something awesome.
(He has a firm vocalization and a strong voice.)
(He has showed off his charisma during Round One.)
(He's a skilled singer.)
(Just his first appearance...)
(is enough to become the competitive candidate.)
(Judging by his vocalization and voice volume,)
(he may be a veteran musical actor.)
(Idol singers recognize idol singers.)
(Is he a skilled idol singer?)
(He has turned the studio into an animal farm with his specialties.)
(He doesn't know how to lose.)
(Will he manage to take another win this time as well?)
(It's time to show his solo performance.)
(Will he impress the audience...)
(and defeat his strong competitor?)
(What's his weapon for Round Two?)
("I Will Survive" by Jin Ju)
(He immediately captures the audience's attention.)
(It was originally sung by the jazz vocalist, Gloria Gaynor,)
(and it became famous in the country as Jin Ju rearranged the song.)
(It's a woman's song with powerful, high notes.)
(How will he manage to sing this as a male vocalist?)
(I will survive)
(His charisma impresses the audience from the start.)
(I will survive)
(Gladiator's valiant spirit...)
(makes them fall into the performance.)
(The fan gets knocked over.)
(Dancing)
(They are about to break the seats in their excitement.)
(She is entranced.)
(With his voice as his weapon, Gladiator matches forward.)
(I will survive)
(The way he controls his voice makes people hold their breath.)
(He turns the stage into a battlefield.)
(Gladiator is a game changer.)
(It was like a performance that contained all he had within.)
(He gave it his all.)
It was like "Dreamgirls".
It was a lovely performance.
It's him, right?
- Yes. - It has to be him.
He has incredible stamina and vocal cords.
The second match of Round Two came to an end.
Kai, were the solo performances different?
First, I would like to say that Good Girl is good.
- Is she good? - Yes.
I loved her sense of rhythm...
which rivals that of a singer.
Does that mean she isn't a singer?
Although she has the singing skills of a singer,
she doesn't sing professionally.
- You don't think she does. - No.
However, she is a multi-talented artist...
who can express the beautiful things in life.
- A multi-talented entertainer. - Yes.
- As for Gladiator, - Gladiator.
he sang a song by Jin Ju.
Jin Ju is a singer...
with amazing singing skills who represents the country.
For a man to sing her song with his chest voice,
he needs many hours of practice.
That's why I think he is a musical singer...
who can lead a performance that lasts 2 to 3 hours.
(Is he a musical singer who commands the crowd?)
Young Seok, upon hearing Gladiator sing last week,
you predicted that he will face Queen of Mask Singer.
Did he live up to your expectations in Round Two?
He didn't fulfill my expectations yet.
I became very expectant...
after Round One.
(His review is different from the one he gave in Round One.)
I voted...
for Good Girl.
(I voted for Good Girl.)
- You revealed your choice. - Yes.
Did you vote for Good Girl?
Gladiator definitely sang better,
but Good Girl's song...
matched her style better.
(Gladiator's song didn't match his style.)
You know,
there is a message...
I am trying to convey with these harsh words.
He is a gladiator,
but he won't tear our hearts by swinging his swords repeatedly.
I think this performance is a stepping stone...
that will allow him to show a grand attack...
in the next round.
He is criticizing Gladiator severely.
I know he can do better.
This show is about three years old, right?
You have given the harshest critique...
in the history of the show.
It contained his love.
- Moreover... - Gladiator, you did nothing wrong.
There is no need to hang your head.
You did nothing wrong.
(Joking)
- It was an expression of love. - I understand.
- It was an expression of love. - All right.
I still think he is King of Mask Singer material...
who can fulfill my expectations.
I think I know what you mean.
Gladiator is like someone...
who always comes in first.
That's why we thought he would ace this round as well.
As for Good Girl, we didn't expect her to do so well.
However, her wits worked...
to her advantage,
so she surpassed the top one.
Because she showed us that kind of a performance,
I couldn't help but root for her.
I think it might be reflected in the result.
You criticized him so that he would do better.
- That's right. - That's the essence.
You thought Gladiator was King of Mask Singer material,
but his performance didn't live up to your expectations.
More votes might have gone to...
(Excuse me?)
What was that?
(Seong Ju referred to Good Girl by her real name.)
What was that?
(Who?)
(Flustered)
What was that?
(He becomes very flustered.)
What was that?
Explain yourself!
(It's a major accident.)
Explain yourself!
Is she...
My goodness.
(He made a mistake in his attempt to liven up the atmosphere.)
You need a severe scolding.
(It's rare for Seong Ju to make such a big mistake.)
My goodness.
I think the fingers on Good Girl's head came up.
Seong Ju.
(He is speechless.)
Excuse me.
- I... - You need to stay alert.
Okay. I am sorry.
Let's bleep out her name and air this.
No, no.
Let's do that.
- Bleep out her name. - Bleep out her name, and air this.
Seong Ju must be very confused...
because the crew is swearing at him through his earphones.
Give him a big hand.
His ears will bleed.
(Dizzy)
(He is the beginning and end of King of Mask Singer.)
(He is a genius MC who doesn't allow a single mistake.)
(Despite tricks and schemes,)
(Seong Ju stood his ground.)
It's just that Seong Ju isn't brazen.
Hyun Chul, are you helping him?
I feel bad for him.
He prepared since early in the morning.
So did we.
- It may not be her. - You are right.
It may not be her.
(He is pitiful.)
They will now show their specialties.
Gladiator...
will imitate the objects...
on your desk.
First, he will imitate a stapler.
(He will imitate a stapler.)
- A stapler. - That's right.
Show us a stapler.
(Gladiator is confident about his specialty.)
He will imitate a stapler.
(Clicking)
(He looks the same.)
This is funny. This is funny.
Staple this.
- My goodness. - This is funny.
(His specialty makes them become expectant again.)
He looks exactly like a stapler.
A stapler.
He is ready to become King of Mask Singer indeed.
- He is good. - He has many talents.
This time, he will imitate scissors.
(He will imitate scissors.)
- Scissors. I am expectant. - How will he imitate them?
(Jumping)
(Like this?)
Scissors.
(His specialty will cut the harsh critique.)
He can even jump well.
I thought he would do this.
(I thought he would use his hands.)
Lastly,
he will imitate a pen.
How will he imitate a pen?
It's a pen from a specific brand. M pen.
- M pen. - Yes.
The name of the company rhymes with Oh Na Mi.
Oh Na Mi pen.
He wants me to press his head.
All right.
I pressed his head.
(His hands pop forward.)
(Fascinated)
All right.
(He goes back to his original position.)
When I press this part, his head goes up.
He looks exactly like a pen.
When I press this part, his hands come forward.
(He imitates objects in a witty way.)
He is witty.
Now, Good Girl will show a specialty for those who don't know who she is.
She will show you her dance.
It's Part Two of her "feeling good" dance.
She'll dance to girl groups' songs.
That's right.
Music, please.
("Bboom Bboom" by Momoland)
It's a girl group's song.
(She dances gently to the song by using her long arms and legs.)
(From my head)
(To my toes)
(She has a good sense rhythm just like a member of a girl group.)
Great!
(Is she a tall idol?)
That's it.
(They have no idea who she is.)
She dances pretty well.
After hearing Seong Ju saying her name earlier,
it's more fun to watch her dance.
Right? It's very fun.
Okay. You still have no idea who she is, right?
Now, it's Gladiator's turn to dance.
He'll dance to an idol group's song at twice the speed.
(Surprised)
He dances to an idol group's song. Music, please.
(What performance is he showing?)
He might be an idol.
(He dances to "Pick Me" by Wanna One at twice the speed.)
(He flounders to the song from the beginning.)
(Laughing)
(I'll be the King of Mask Singer.)
(His moves will bewitch the whole nation.)
(Dancing frivolously)
(I'm the one who's shocked.)
(There's no doubt that he'll be in 102nd place.)
(After floundering for a long time...)
That's it.
I liked the ending.
It was "Pick Me".
He looked rather clumsy dancing at twice the speed.
- Is that what he intended? - He didn't look clumsy.
It looks nothing like that...
when the dancers are good.
He wouldn't have looked so cool...
even if he danced at the original speed.
Why would he dance at fast speed in the first place?
Let's watch the original singers dance at twice the speed.
- But... - You want them to dance?
- We want to see that. - Dance at twice the speed.
It's Wanna One's song.
So you should do it on the stage.
(Getting up without hesitation)
(I'm so glad that I came today.)
On the stage.
Please come onto the stage.
Min Hyun and Lai Kuan Lin.
Wait. Stop it.
What are you doing?
(I won't wash my hands now.)
Music, please.
("Pick Me" at twice the speed by Wanna One)
It's twice the speed.
(Dancing in unison even at twice the speed)
(They have a heart attack that is twice as strong.)
(Glancing)
(Am I the one who'll steal your heart?)
(How do I steal it?)
(Like this.)
(That's not it.)
(Giggling)
(Turning around in the opposite direction)
(He flounders as if he's buffering.)
(Meanwhile, they dance twice as hard.)
(Free medicine for your eyes)
(Forget it. I'll do it my way.)
(He just dances as if he's sweeping.)
(He forgets to turn.)
(He finishes the dance off beat.)
(You tried so hard.)
That was perfect.
They were perfectly in sync.
They are the original.
That was amazing.
All right. What do you think?
I don't think he's an idol.
The dance has difficult moves.
- He did a good job. - He did? Okay.
Please give Wanna One a big hand.
Thank you.
Chang Min, do you have any experience like this?
- What experience? - Last time,
you danced to "Candy" with Kang Daniel.
I don't remember.
(I don't remember.)
- We still have the video. - Oh, no.
(Chang Min joined the show as Drum Man before.)
(Min Hyun, Chang Min)
(He tried hard to dance,)
(but his opponent was Wanna One.)
(It's like there are only two people on stage.)
(It's dark on the other side.)
(Shining)
(Lonely)
(He was humiliated like an invisible man.)
- That's right. - I...
don't want to remember things like that. Life is hard already.
All right. Let's find out the result...
of the second match of Round Two.
Who will be the winner of this round?
I'll now reveal the winner...
of this match.
(She's a vocalist with a bright energy like sunshine.)
(Good Girl has good skills and an innocent charm.)
(He's a valiant vocalist who never steps back.)
(The singer with an explosive powerful voice.)
(Singing Gladiator)
Between Good Gil and Gladiator,
who will win this match?
The winner is...
(The winner is...)
- The winner is... - The winner is...
Good Girl.
Gladiator.
(There are two attractive vocalists.)
(Who has the voice that will threaten the Queen of Mask Singer?)
Who will win this match and move on...
- to Round Three? The winner is... - The winner is...
- The winner is... - The winner is...
(Powerful Voice Makes a Surprise Attack, Gladiator wins)
Gladiator wins.
(He defeated the enemy with a surprise attack.)
Gladiator wins.
(Some react with joy while others with disappointment.)
What's the final score?
All right. Wait.
What are you doing? Stop it.
I guess Good Girl is a big fan of Gladiator.
Please go back to your waiting room.
Please give him a big hand.
I'll dominate the stage in Round Three.
(Giving a shot)
She's very tall.
Gu Ra seemed to know who she was.
Let's find out who she is.
Please move to the back of the stage.
Now, Good Girl, please reveal your face.
(She's familiar with trot songs.)
(She has good rhythm.)
(Gu Ra closed the dragnet from the beginning.)
(Seong Ju even said her real name by mistake.)
(Good Girl has gone through a lot today.)
(Is she the woman that Seong Ju mentioned?)
- Hong Jin Kyung. - She's Hong Jin Kyung.
- Hong Jin Kyung. - You're Hong Jin Kyung, right?
- Hong Jin Kyung. - Hong Jin Kyung.
You'll be surprised.
Now, Good Girl, take off your mask...
and reveal your face.
(Screaming)
(Glad to see you.)
Hong Jin Kyung.
- Jin Kyung! - Hong Jin Kyung.
Jin Kyung.
Who is she?
(They are curious to know who she is.)
What? Why?
She is...
the former member of a trot girl group LPG,
She's an actress, Han Young.
(She's Han Young.)
(Some knew who she was,)
(and others had no idea.)
We haven't seen her on TV for a long time.
(Nice to see you.)
Please say hello to our viewers.
I'm working as a singer and as an actress.
My name is Han Young. Nice to meet you.
(She was a super model in 1998.)
(She appeared in many famous fashion shows in Paris and Japan.)
(She's a beautiful woman with long legs.)
(She made her debut as a trot girl group later on.)
(She's a lovely vocalist beloved by people of all ages.)
(She even appears on stage as a solo artist.)
(She's an emotional trot singer with maturity.)
(She also plays in dramas as an actress.)
(She portrays various characters...)
(in traditional dramas and sitcoms.)
(She's an all-around player who sings and acts well.)
(Han Young has infinite energy and various charms.)
I happened to say your name...
by mistake.
(He said her name out loud.)
(Flustered)
(Han Young)
- I'm sorry. - I was so surprised.
You're very talented and sing very well.
We should've had you here sooner.
But it took three years.
Why is that?
I actually asked the production staff.
I wanted to join this show from the beginning, but they didn't want me.
They said they were trying to find a way to cover up my legs.
This is what they came up with.
A long dress?
It doesn't show where my waist is.
That's why it took a long time.
It's already been 14 years since your debut.
- That's right. - It's been 14 years.
I bet you weren't so nervous to sing on stage today.
- I was nervous though. - A lot?
Well, I get really nervous...
when I sing in front of a few acquaintances.
- When they listen to your song? - Yes.
And there are a few people who'd recognize my voice.
So I was very nervous.
Then I just decided to enjoy the moment.
And there's one more reason why you felt so nervous, right?
Yes. About six years ago,
I had thyroid cancer surgery.
During the surgery, I hurt my vocal cord nerves.
So I lost my voice for a while.
It took me about a year...
to get my voice back.
In fact, I was afraid to sing in King of Mask Singer.
I didn't want to attempt too much.
So I just selected songs that I can enjoy...
and sing in comfort.
And the panelists caught it right away.
Gu Ra showed off his relationship with you from Round One.
- Were you talking about her? - Of course.
And you made it sure, Seong Ju.
Okay. I apologize again.
I accidentally said it.
When you get to know her, Han Young...
takes care of herself very well.
After she got sick, she took really great care of herself,
so she recovered her health.
I was going to call her soon,
and I am really happy to see her here today.
Despite the fact...
that her vocal cords are not in condition, she sang here.
And as always, she was witty,
and she exuded positive energy.
I thought that was very fitting for her.
I thought that's very like Han Young.
Thank you.
After a long break, she delighted us not with her acting...
but with her singing.
Please give it up for her once again.
- Go, Han Young! - Thank you.
(We hope to see you again on stage soon.)
Thank you.
When I saw people going on King of Mask Singer...
and singing hard,
I got really envious.
I loved that you can sing freely and have fun...
without any biases.
So when I got the call,
I almost got emotional.
It's almost like a healing experience.
Some of you might have guessed who I am.
Thumbs Up, Good Girl...
was Han Young.
Please continue to love me.
The mysterious music show, King of Mask Singer.
Now, to stop Swordswoman from winning for the eighth time,
two masked singers have made it to Final Round.
Please welcome them with a round of applause.
These two masked singers have made to Round Three.
(Open-Air Bath vs Gladiator)
Open-Air Bath and Gladiator.
(Bowing)
It's the competition of two male singers.
(Welcome.)
Swordswoman, who is aiming for the eighth win...
is sitting over there.
For her, this match is very important.
She has to win today...
to challenge Music Commander's record.
If you have anything to tell her,
this will be your chance.
Open-Air Bath, please start first. Look at the queen.
She's been there for a long time.
Queen, you are tired, aren't you?
Don't you want to take some rest at my open-air bath?
(He wants to drown her in his bath.)
He suggests that it's time for her to step down.
Gladiator is a fighter.
I will give you a chance to talk to the queen too.
Ms. Gladiator.
(What?)
You are Gladiator.
- Wait. - Focus.
Focus, Gladiator.
He thinks he is already a king.
That was crazy.
Do it again. Get it together. Focus.
(Laughing)
Queen.
I will make a surprise attack today.
(Cheers!)
(He raises our expectations.)
She must have weak spots.
You can poke her weak spots.
Right.
You must've watched their performances.
What did you think of them?
I nearly got sick.
My manager actually got sick.
I have to do well today...
to be on the path to ranking first.
- Right. - They can't...
hinder me from doing that.
She seems a little annoyed.
But it's their job to stop you.
But they won't be able to attack my weak spots.
Swordswoman...
has mastered martial arts. So... What is it?
- What is it? - So there are...
no weak spots they can attack.
All right.
- Go, Swordswoman! - She's losing it too.
What's wrong with you?
What's this?
(It's right before an important match, but they are distracted.)
The queen must be worried.
It seems like she's sensitive.
Now, let's begin Round Three,
Final Round.
Open-Air Bath will perform first.
(Let us indulge in your bath.)
I am so excited.
He's my type.
I want to hear him sing a ballad.
(Open-Air Bath stands proudly on the stage by himself.)
(Will he beat the talented singer, Gladiator,)
(and stop Swordswoman from winning for the 8th time?)
("Love Without Regret" by Position)
"Love Without Regret".
It's Position.
(It's a perfect song to capture women's hearts.)
I love the choice.
(His delicate falsetto voice makes us feel sad.)
(We are immersing into it.)
(The echo of his baritone voice spreads like vapor.)
(It's amazing.)
(It gives me goose bumps.)
(It's really lovely.)
He's been hiding his secret weapon.
(He can't hide his excitement.)
(House Band)
(While everyone is indulged in Open-Air Bath's warmth,)
(these two singers become more and more nervous.)
(He's got the power to make us instantly immerse into the song.)
(His voice slowly powers up.)
(This is incredible.)
(His "Love Without Regret" continues to echo in our ears.)
It's great to hear this song after a long time.
He's such a good singer.
(Those who heard this song for their first time love it too.)
He's so cool.
Here comes his opponent.
He beat the actor, Kim Ki Doo, and he the entertainer, Han Young.
It's the last match to reach the throne.
Powerful Voice Makes a Surprise Attack,
Gladiator!
(Let me show you how I win every match.)
(Looking confident)
(We look forward to seeing your performance.)
I hope he gives a great performance.
Gladiator should have his last move.
- Go for it. - You can do it.
(Gladiator stands on the stage.)
(All the eyes are on him.)
(Will he beat his powerful opponent and get to fight the queen?)
(Gladiator's last match begins.)
("Already to Me" by Lim Chang Jung)
The intro already makes me sad.
(The intro of the song already sounds sad.)
(Is this song Lim Chang Jung's version?)
(Or do you dare to sing in the original key?)
(It's amazing.)
(Gladiator's voice echoes on the stage.)
(His voice is incredibly absorbing.)
(Goodness, what is this?)
(He powerfully hits the high notes, full of emotion.)
(He won't stop pouring out the pain of the breakup.)
(He's truly amazing.)
(She gets choked up.)
(You can't take your eyes off his performance even for a second.)
(He's incredible.)
(This is just amazing.)
(Gladiator's performance makes them speechless.)
I got goose bumps.
He's amazing.
This song is really hard to sing.
Final Round is now over.
Swordswoman has constantly won for 7 times now.
How do you feel? Do you feel more confident or insecure?
Both of them are great with their emotions...
- and vocalization. - I see.
I was really surprised...
throughout the whole performance.
- However, - Yes.
I'm pretty good at those too.
I see.
(We know how great a singer you are.)
She never gets swayed.
She's very cold-hearted.
My heart is warm.
- Is it warm? - Yes.
Anyway, it will be my eighth defensive match.
I will sweep the entire stage. Let's go!
(Go, Swordswoman!)
She still says that after watching their performances.
She seems confident.
Swordswoman, you may now go get ready for Final Match.
Everyone, please give her a round of applause!
(We look forward to seeing your amazing performance.)
Swordswoman, please go backstage.
Hyun Chul, how did you like Round Three?
This is Round Three. There is no point in talking about...
whether they are good singers or not.
I can't imagine how wide Open-Air Bath's...
vocal range is.
He has a very wide vocal range.
When he was singing the intro of the song,
he was already using falsetto.
He was using falsetto when he had to sing...
in a small voice.
The later part of this song is very high.
But he was using his chest voice...
when he had to hit the high notes,
which shows he's quite an experienced singer. subtitles ripped and synced by rri13
The power he has inside him...
has become much better compared to Round One.
(He's getting better and better.)
He has a melting pot inside him.
I don't think I got to see all he has.
Even after Round Three?
- Even after Round Three. - He's an amazing singer.
- As for Gladiator, - Yes.
"Already to Me" is the song many men try to sing...
but end up going to an emergency room.
In this song, there's no break for breathing.
After "already",
you're out of breath already.
You can't continue singing because you're out of breath.
Your face gets red too.
But Gladiator called the queen...
- Gladiator earlier. - Right.
He wasn't joking then.
I think he saw his future.
- From the throne? - Exactly.
(The reason why he called her Gladiator...)
He called her Gladiator...
because...
he saw himself sitting on the throne already.
(Surprised)
I didn't know that.
- How could you not know that? - So he was that good.
He just showed us...
a perfect performance.
I think both of their performances were even more remarkable today.
- You sound very satisfied. - I am.
Young Seok, how did you like it?
I think I realized why Open-Air Bath is named Open-Air Bath.
If you sing in a bathtub, your voice echoes.
Wherever he sings,
the place he sings becomes a bathtub.
His voice is so resonant...
that no matter where he sings,
he always sounds like he sings in an open-air bath.
- So his voice is loud. - Exactly.
Besides, his voice resonates.
His resonant voice comes from...
his firm understanding of the basics.
I think he gave a very stable performance.
The song he performed was extremely hard too.
(Open-Air Bath managed to sing a very difficult song.)
In Round Two, Young Seok gave...
gave heartful advices to Gladiator.
I wonder how you liked Round Three.
I knew this would happen.
Here is the thing.
What's difficult to sing...
is not necessarily a good song to listen to.
Making a hard song...
pleasant to listen to...
requires a lot of techniques.
And he made it.
Actually, this song is considered to be extremely hard...
even from the composers' perspectives.
(Even the composer of the song finds the song difficult to sing.)
His secret was...
to hold his breath when he sings.
This song is a hard song.
It's hard to continue singing when you're out of breath.
He managed the hard part perfectly.
What I find amazing...
is that he has all basic skills and still makes a touching performance.
Also, he sang a song...
which has the Korean sadness, but his singing...
still sounded sophisticated.
The queen doesn't have this kind of sorrowfulness.
- He has something she doesn't? - That's right.
So I believe that he can be the next king.
I see. Compared to Round Two, your comments are...
His performance was great in Round Two as well,
but I highly appreciate his potential.
My comments earlier might have been a little unkind.
You understand me, right?
It makes me so happy...
to see such a great performance after making those comments.
He made much better results.
I see. Your comments earlier might have helped him a lot.
Young Seok's irritated advice...
has changed the man.
The singer he rooted for lost the match,
so he got upset.
He took out his anger on Gladiator,
but Gladiator changed completely after hearing those comments.
(You didn't meet our expectations.)
(I know you can do better!)
(He could hear Young Seok's criticism while he was singing.)
(I'll do better! I really will!)
(Will you love me, Young Seok?)
(I absolutely love you, Gladiator.)
I realized that turning points could come from unexpected events.
- I dare to say... - Yes?
that he could be the next king.
That's what I think.
You mean Gladiator?
- Yes. - I see. Good.
When I perform in musicals,
what I want to hear from the audience is,
"That's Kim Ho Young."
"It's like the character is himself."
"That's Kim Ho Young."
Yes. Those two masked singers...
sing with their own singing styles.
Especially, Gladiator.
He sang Lim Chang Jung's song,
but it felt like he was singing his own song.
It didn't sound awkward at all.
Even when he was out of breath,
he sang calmly as if he was telling a story about himself.
That's what made the audience feel at ease.
He has his own distinctive singing style,
and I think highly of that.
I don't need to speak much about Open-Air Bath.
Although he's covering himself...
from head to toe,
his voice made Lady Jane...
put a hair roller in her hair.
She wanted to look pretty in front of him.
- In the waiting room? - Yes.
- Oh, my. During the break? - So...
I don't know who he is,
but I think his voice...
must've gotten him many female fans.
That's what I thought.
Guys wouldn't have noticed it, but I guess...
his voice sounds romantic.
I thought I could love Open-Air Bath...
even if I can't see his face.
She wouldn't stop putting makeup on her face.
- Because of Open-Air Bath. - No.
I don't dream about having a real relationship with him.
You're lying.
You kept asking me who he was.
I'm dying to know.
- I really want to know. - She asked Ho Young to set her up.
- She's totally interested in him. - I see.
Let's hear what Ji Won thought.
What do the female panelists think?
I was in my waiting room, and actually,
- I adjusted my makeup too. - You did?
- Oh, my. - They kept putting on makeup.
- They did? - After watching...
Open-Air Bath's performance,
I thought he was a bit of a macho in the previous round.
But In this round, I could feel his soft charisma.
But as I listened to Gladiator's song,
- my heart fluttered. - Oh, my.
Yes. They're both great singers.
You did vote for one though, right?
Yes.
I wonder whom she voted for.
I've asked three people's opinions so far.
I wonder which singer...
the female audience liked better.
Open-Air Bath's voice sounded soft yet powerful.
It reminded me of Kim Tae Woo.
- Kim Tae Woo? - Yes.
As for Gladiator, he has sung three songs so far,
and it felt like watching three films because of his outfit.
"Gladiator" when he sang "Running in the Sky".
Yes. "300" when he sang "I Will Survive".
I felt his overwhelming power...
and an incredible, extreme thrill...
from that performance.
When he sang "Already to Me", it felt like watching "Ben-Hur".
There's a chariot race scene.
- Yes. - "Will he win or lose?"
"Won't he lose his breath here?"
"Will he be able to sing..."
"the high notes?" I watched his stage with my heart in my mouth.
It's just like "Ben-Hur", where the protagonist wins in the end.
That's what I thought.
At this rate, he might be able to defeat Swordswoman...
with his three films.
Yes. He's sung 3 songs, and she can only sing 1 song.
- Yes. - I see. All right.
Now, I will announce...
the result of Round Three, Final Round.
Open-Air Bath sang a rock ballad blazing with love,
and Gladiator showed...
his limitless voice range and amazing singing ability.
Who will be the one to move on...
to the 78th Final Match? Let's find out now!
(Singing about a breakup with a heavy voice,)
(Open-Air Bath showed an emotional and touching performance.)
(Gladiator, his opponent,)
(showed an incredibly absorbing performance...)
(with great energy and powerful singing of the high notes.)
Between Open-Air Bath and Gladiator,
who does the audience want to see again?
The winner is...
- The winner is... - The winner is...
(It's a match between two singers, which threatened the queen.)
(Who will be the one to go up against the queen?)
Who's the winner? The winner is...
The winner is...
(Powerful Voice Makes a Surprise Attack, Gladiator wins.)
Gladiator won!
It's Gladiator!
(Gladiator didn't disappoint them.)
(Sadly, Open-Air Bath lost.)
What's the score?
Gladiator defeated Open-Air Bath.
(The score is 35 to 64.)
Gladiator defeated Open-Air Bath...
and became the rival of the queen.
Let's give him a big hand.
Gladiator won.
Swordswoman, I made a surprise attack.
You'd better watch out.
(Watch out.)
It's time to find out who Open-Air Bath is.
Please come to the back.
Now, Open-Air Bath, please take off your mask...
and reveal your face!
(A classy and steady...)
(musical actor?)
(He made Lady Jane fix her looks...)
(with nothing but his voice.)
(Open-Air Bath captivated women with his deadly charms.)
I thought I could love him.
Reveal your face!
He is...
(Oh, my gosh!)
Who are you?
What is it?
(My Prince Charming)
(Excited)
He is...
the romanticist in the world of musical,
Ko Eun Sung!
(Open-Air Bath was Ko Eun Sung!)
(He's so handsome!)
(He really is!)
(That's why his voice sounded so powerful.)
(They welcome their colleague.)
Oh, it was Ko Eun Sung!
(It's great to see you.)
Hello!
Please say hello to our viewers.
Hello. I'm Ko Eun Sung,
a musical actor.
(Ko Eun Sung is a musical actor with 8 years of experience.)
(With various voice tones and delicate acting,)
(he became the rising star of musicals.)
(He has performed in many different masterpieces.)
(He rose to stardom as he showed off his ability on "Phantom Singer".)
(His ability to express his emotions overwhelms the audience.)
(He's an incredible actor who can perform in musicals of any genre.)
(Ko Eun Sung, a charming man with great looks and ability)
Originally, Eun Sung...
wanted to be a singer, not a musical actor.
It says here that you even dropped out of high school for that.
Yes, well...
I wanted to sing rather than studying.
I thought I could be a better singer if I practiced singing instead.
That's why I dropped out of school.
I was dreaming of becoming a singer,
and I had a chance to debut as a member of a band.
I'm from Daejeon, and I had to travel back and forth to Seoul.
In that process, my plan kind of frizzled out.
Then I happened to watch a musical called "Notre-Dame de Paris",
and I decided to become a musical actor.
After that, I started to study vocal music.
Right now, I'm practicing for "Notre-Dame de Paris".
Oh, I see. All right.
Min Hyun, you said...
- Yes? - you watched his musicals.
- Is it Eun Sung? - I realized that...
he wasn't whom I thought he was when he showed us his specialty.
Oh, it's not Eun Sung.
No. His voice sounded different.
We're being quiet. It means he was wrong.
Did you have to ask him that?
I wanted to give him the spotlight if he was right.
I will watch your upcoming musical...
if I have the chance.
All right. Min Hyun is very interested in musicals too.
I'm a musical actor myself,
but I'm also a huge fan of musicals.
So I watch a lot of musicals.
Eun Sung will be the musical star...
of the next generation.
It's not just me.
Actors like Kim Soo Ro...
and many performance organizers...
are calling him to offer casting him.
I must say...
he'll improve more and more in the future.
He must feel assured.
He's gotten recognized by his seniors.
Being a singer was his dream which didn't come true.
But he showed off his amazing skills through this show today.
Please give him another round of applause.
Go for it!
(It was so nice to see you.)
I remember...
when I first came to Seoul from the countryside for my singing audition.
I first arrived in Seoul on the Mugunghwa train.
It seemed so unfamiliar and different from my hometown.
It was such a huge city.
I felt like it was...
a totally different world.
Now, I get to visit broadcasting stations...
and appear in programs like this.
Things like this...
are really dream-like to me.
I was given a chance to sing in front of seniors,
whom I never expected to meet.
It felt great.
Why Don't You All Come In? Open-Air Bath...
was me, Ko Eun Sung.
I'll sing passionately on stage.
(Please support.)
As the result of Round Three,
Powerful Voice Makes a Surprise Attack, Gladiator...
won against Ko Eun Sung and advanced to the final Round.
(It's the highlight of the show.)
Now, we only have the defensive performance...
of the current masked queen, Swordswoman.
Will the masked queen be able to protect her throne...
and succeed to win eight times in a row?
We'll now begin the final round...
to decide the 78th masked king.
(It begins now.)
(They're excited.)
It's the match to decide the 78th masked king.
She's irreplaceable and unapproachable.
She's the irresistible singing master.
She's the 77th masked queen.
A Woman of Her Own, Swordswoman.
(A Woman of Her Own, Swordswoman.)
(She's made the queen's entrance 7 times already.)
(She enters straight across the golden gate.)
(They're excited to watch her grand performance today.)
She won't give it a break.
- What? - It will be fierce.
She mentioned that she chose an unexpected song.
- What will it be? - It might have no background music.
- It could be a yodel song. - What?
(It could be off the genre.)
A yodel song?
I can count on every song she performs.
(Nothing seems impossible for this outlaw of the stage.)
(She's protected her throne 7 times already.)
(The strong challenger is pointing his sword to her winning streak.)
(She's prepared this performance for the fierce battle.)
(What shocking song will she perform today?)
- What? - What is this?
- Is it funk? - It's rock and roll.
(The beat sounds familiar.)
What is it?
(Why are we singing along to its rhythm?)
It sounds very familiar.
(What's this familiar funky sound?)
(What? This song is...)
("The Downfall of Moon" by Kim Hyun Chul)
(It's the representative hit song of the singer-songwriter, Hyun Chul.)
(She opens the performance faultlessly.)
(Her voice flows with the rhythm in perfect sync.)
(The moon is falling)
(She captured everyone's hearts with her flexible tempo control.)
It's amazing.
(It's as if she's dancing on the tips of the rhythm.)
(Her voice sweeps...)
(gently and strongly.)
(They can't keep their bodies still.)
(Her expert ease is an extra to the overflowing beat.)
(Improvising)
(Her colorful voice is added here and there in the song.)
(Getting goose bumps)
(Her voice pours down at once like a waterfall.)
(Is this even possible?)
(She's too good that it's scaring him.)
(She's just too good.)
(Her passionate performance races without noticing its downfall.)
(The audience is overwhelmed by excitement.)
- She is the best of the best. - She's the masked queen indeed.
(It was shocking as they predicted.)
My goodness.
I'm getting goose bumps.
Hyun Chul, treat us to a drink tonight.
- Treat us to a drink. - All right.
(They never miss this chance.)
Tonight.
The performance of the masked queen ended.
Hyun Chul is the original singer of "The Downfall of Moon".
How was it?
I had no idea it was my song.
In the beginning,
(When it started with the rhythmical prelude)
I wondered which song had such a sophisticated melody.
(They can't believe what he said.)
What are you talking about?
- You're bragging. - What I mean...
- You're complimenting yourself. - is that melody...
was newly inserted...
as the song was rearranged.
Is that right?
I felt like she and I made eye contact.
"I'm singing your song."
Like, "You didn't see this coming, did you?"
I'm its original singer, but I was so senseless.
I got so excited.
The song was rearranged to the disco genre.
It was released in the early 90s.
But this was rearranged to a totally new song...
in the future-oriented perspective.
She pulled it off way better than me.
The rearrangement was good as well.
I'm so happy.
(It's the best compliment of the original singer.)
- It was released in 1993, right? - Yes.
It was released in the early 90s.
After about 30 years, it has become changed...
like this.
Excuse me. It's not 30 years.
It's around 30 years.
It's almost 30 years.
And...
Min Hyun, you were born in 1995, right?
- That's right. - It got out before you were born,
but you seemed to sing along a while ago.
I knew this song too.
- Really? - It's a famous song.
I wrote this song.
I knew it too.
- It's strange. - How was it?
I was deeply impressed...
by Gladiator's performance.
But her performance came into my heart...
- and swayed me. - Were you confused?
I was confused and torn.
Lai Kuan Lin, you looked a lot in trouble too.
It was so tough for me.
The masked queen's performance...
was really my style.
- Really? - So...
I'm not sure if I should tell you this or not,
but I often listen to this kind of music...
while I take a shower in my daily life.
He knows how to listen to music.
(There he goes again.)
- I checked a while ago, - Stay quiet.
and he went like this during her performance.
(He was immersed in it.)
I was really surprised because it was totally my style.
He looked as if he was taking a shower.
(Its bounce made him want to take a shower.)
It's totally my style.
I really enjoyed it.
I see. Gu Ra, what do you think?
Swordswoman is actually an amazing adventurer...
because last week,
she faced a slight crisis.
And the epicenter of her crisis...
was us, the panelists.
She was aware of it.
She did a great job in getting the gist of it...
because Hyun Chul was against her reign the most...
among the panelists.
I see.
By attacking first with Hyun Chul's song,
she shut his mouth.
- Goodness. - She won his favor.
It was a very strategic move.
(It was her wise strategy to regain her support.)
- This is... - She crammed the moon in his mouth.
She did.
I have to say she's a great adventurer.
She read the panelists' minds thoroughly.
I felt the irony of fate...
by watching the performances in this show.
He got scolded badly without any reason...
and made a dramatic revival a while ago.
The falling moon seems to refer to Gladiator.
I felt like the Gladiator was the moon.
- All of a sudden. - I thought so.
I roughly asked the opinions of others.
Did you conduct an exit poll?
I think he got three less votes than her.
Three less votes?
She almost came here and overwhelmed us herself.
(Goodness)
It was as if she was in front of us...
when we were pressing the buttons.
- Swordswoman. - As if she was looking?
I felt like that.
She was firmly determined to captivate the celebrity panelists.
She was so determined to make Hyun Chul silent.
- My goodness. - As a matter of fact,
"The Downfall of Moon" by Hyun Chul has this story.
A woman loves a man...
instead of me,
and that man is described as the moon.
And I think Swordswoman...
is like someone who would drop the moon herself.
Did she drag it down?
"How could you be loved by the man I love?"
(Screaming)
Something like this.
I realized Swordswoman is really hard to defeat.
Did you?
Then she will be likely to win for the eighth time.
How was it Lady Jane?
Whenever I listen to the queen's song,
I do have goosebumps.
I guess there is a certain frequency...
or a decibel level...
that people would love and get really pleased to hear.
I feel like...
the queen's voice hits that right spot.
That's why I got goosebumps,
and all other panelists also said...
that they had goosebumps.
Her voice has that strange power.
It's even more touching on the spot.
It feels like her sound is literally hitting me.
She deserves to be the queen indeed.
(She proved that she is the queen.)
- Kai? - I was surprised at Swordswoman.
I don't even have to mention that she is a good singer.
She dominated every genre.
I thought she just became...
the master of music.
We panelists...
can even notice how good her condition is now.
In that sense, she was in a very good condition,
chose a great song, and had a great feeling today.
I think she showed her full potential.
And what I want to tell Gladiator...
is that a really good song...
doesn't need a comment from others.
There are certain songs that make you get your back off your chair.
Something that makes you sit up straight?
Yes. That means he is able to make me...
fall for his song and relate to it.
He has that kind of power.
I'll reveal the result now.
Who will be the winner?
The result is in my hand now.
The results of the celebrities and the general panelists...
are different.
They are different.
The results are different.
(The results are different.)
What's the result?
There could be a change.
Hyun Chul, is it really her downfall?
"The Downfall of Moon".
Will Swordswoman...
win eight consecutive times...
and threaten Ha Hyun Woo, with nine consecutive wins?
Or will the new era of a new king begin?
To whom were your unbiased hearts...
more attracted to?
The one who will take the throne,
the 78th King of Mask Singer,
will be revealed now.
(It was powerful yet warm in Round One.)
(His voice was so delicate as if he was running on the clouds.)
(His technique became fancier in Round Two.)
(Using the standard tactics to deeply touch the hearts...)
(and wielding his voice skillfully,)
(Gladiator captivated the panelists' hearts.)
(Swordswoman's explosive energy shakes the world.)
(The downfall, my foot.)
(She doesn't fear the downfall and keeps running.)
(Swordswoman definitely deserves to be the queen.)
Between Gladiator and...
Swordswoman, who is trying to win for the eighth consecutive time,
who is the 78th King of Mask Singer you chose?
The winner is...
- The winner is... - Goodness.
What's the result?
(Screaming)
(Will Gladiator become a new king?)
(Don't forget to breathe.)
The winner is...
- The winner is... - The winner is...
Who is the 78th King of Mask Singer you chose?
Swordswoman!
(The sun never sets.)
(She blocked Gladiator's powerful sword.)
Swordswoman.
(I can't believe Gladiator lost.)
She succeeds in winning eight consecutive times.
She will take the throne once again.
It was 59 to 40.
59 to 40.
She did a tough job.
She succeeded in winning for the eighth time.
(She's in 2nd place alone with her 8 consecutive wins.)
Swordswoman received more votes than him,
but considering the last matches,
the number of votes she got is a little lower than usual.
That means it's not easy to win continuously.
Anyway, Swordswoman, who won...
for eight times in a row,
will be presented the golden mask and the gown again.
May I ask how you feel to win eight consecutive times?
Well, I felt like my heart dropped.
I guess the next performance will be the critical one,
so I'll try hard...
to fill in what I lack.
Thank you.
She overcame the critical crisis.
She won eight times in a row. Now, she has a chance...
to challenge Music Commander's record of nine consecutive wins.
Give her a round of applause, please.
(Ha Hyun Woo in 1st place, Swordswoman in 2nd place)
She won the 71st, 72nd,
73rd, 74th,
75th, 76th,
77th, and 78th matches.
So she won eight matches in a row.
Next week, she will challenge...
to get in a tie with the best winning streak record.
Now, we'll reveal Gladiator's identity.
Please move to the back of the stage.
Now, Gladiator,
take off your mask and reveal your face, please.
(He has a very refreshing voice like a soda.)
(Is he a veteran musical actor?)
(Is he an idol vocalist rather than a musical actor?)
(Is Gladiator the idol of idols?)
He is someone I know.
(His clumsy dance confused the panelists.)
(Who could he be?)
(Screaming)
Who is it?
- Why? - What does this scream mean?
Reveal your face, please.
He is...
the main vocalist of BTOB, an idol group with great singing skills,
- Seo Eun Kwang. - It's Eun Kwang.
It was Eun Kwang.
(They keep calling his name.)
(Eun Kwang's performance was like newly found treasure.)
BTOB.
Eun Kwang is good indeed.
There were a lot of ups and downs while you challenged the queen.
- It was fun. - Please say hello to our viewers.
Hello.
I'm a member of BTOB...
and also a musical actor.
My name is Seo Eun Kwang. Nice to see you.
(He's the main vocalist of BTOB with great singing skills.)
(Even though he does powerful dance moves,)
(he can also stably sing live.)
(He can also sing ballads that are deeply touching.)
(He is skillful with 7 years of experience.)
(He does musicals as well...)
(and broadens his spectrum.)
(He keeps trying and challenging.)
(Seo Eun Kwang is a great vocalist you can trust.)
He was once here as...
- Seok Bong is Scared of the Dark . - Right.
(September 11, 2016)
(He performed as Seok Bong is Scared of the Dark.)
(He sang every note with so much care,)
(but sadly, he lost in Round Three.)
Was it different to sing today...
compared to when you sang back at that time?
It was very different.
I was so curious...
if they would notice my voice.
And many people recognized it.
- Idol singers noticed it well. - Right.
I think he has a great influence on his juniors.
He and I belong to the same agency.
He comes to our practice room to practice for his musical every day.
Whenever I heard that,
I was amazed at how good he was.
When I watched his performance,
I was even more touched.
So I want to tell him that I'm thankful.
- I love you. - Okay.
You have been one of the panelists before.
You said you decided to perform once again...
when you were there as a panelist, right?
Yes, I did.
Back then, a member of Wanna One,
Jae Hwan,
- sang very well, - Right.
so he reminded me...
of the time I performed as Seok Bong a lot.
(Jae Hwan even moved to Final Match on his first appearance.)
(The rookie member of Wanna One has great singing skills.)
(He is so fresh.)
(He showed refreshing talents as a rookie too.)
I was reminded of the fresh charms...
and passion of a rookie.
I wondered what it would be like...
if I performed here again.
- That's why I gave it a go. - Right.
I've been watching Eun Kwang. And what's great about him...
is that he keeps whipping and tempering himself.
He always tries to become better.
That makes him handsome, beautiful, and great.
I hope he will continue doing what he does.
Young Seok scolded him harshly a while ago.
- It was some good advice. - He gave you some heartfelt advice.
- Tell him something. - You really surprised me.
I thought he was your son.
He must've not known who he was back then.
Your singing and musical ability don't get better...
as time goes by.
A lot of people become stagnant or less competent.
He improved so much.
Yes. It wasn't only his singing ability that improved.
On every round, he became more skillful.
It was a very good performance. He's just like a king.
Right.
When I heard his comment on Round Two,
I reset my mindset.
- Great. - That's why I performed better.
That's why I think I did better.
I thank you for that.
Thank you for accepting it that way.
The result was amazing too.
Right.
- A lot of people support you. - He was great.
Eun Kwang showed us his growth as a musician.
Please cheer for him.
Thank you. Thank you.
(We will expect to see you grow even more.)
(Lai Kuan Lin comes to Eun Kwang as soon as he leaves.)
- As soon I heard your voice, - I really wanted to come here.
- I knew it was you. - You're great.
And your body gave me even more clues.
- Really? - Yes.
- Well done. - Well done.
- I'll see you later. - Okay.
- Well done. - Well done.
You were amazing.
I got further than the last time.
So I am relieved.
It was very satisfying too. I am really happy.
Powerful Voice Makes a Surprise Attack, Gladiator...
was Seo Eun Kwang from BTOB.
It was a happy day for me. Thank you.
Next week.
(People challenge the queen.)
(No.)
(Let's have a fair match.)
(They have a cheerful dance battle.)
(They can't control their talents.)
(Bursting into laughter)
(8 hunters have come to hunt down the queen.)
(With their incredible charms,)
(will they be able to stop the queen from winning for the 9th time?)
(They will rewrite history.)
(Stay tuned next week.)
