We will be like a gentle breeze that makes you feel better.
The mysterious music show, The King of Mask Singer.
I am your unbiased show host, Kim Seong Ju.
(Sul Woon Do)
(Lee Hyun Yi, Kim Ji Min)
(Yoo Hwe Seung of N.Flying and Ro Woon of SF9)
Last week, she successfully...
defended her throne.
My Song Could Hurt You, Dongmakgol Girl.
How do you feel about today's match?
I am very confident about it.
"I am very confident about it."
(Cheers!)
What do you think, Gu Ra?
She's always very confident.
Because of her nickname,
she's been forcing herself to speak Gangwon Province dialect.
Suddenly, this thought came up in my mind.
If she remains as the queen for about 10 weeks,
she might be speaking Gangwon Province dialect fluently...
like a local person.
I had such a beautiful imagination.
(Laughing)
Aren't you happy?
- I am very happy. - "I am very happy."
Ji Min is from Gangwon Province.
- Right. - She said...
- she wasn't doing it right. - Right.
- She's from Gangwon Province. - I've never heard such an accent.
When you talk about potatoes, we say,
"That potato is delicious."
That potato is delicious.
- No. No. - She immediately became good.
She's from Gyeongsang Province.
(She's from Gyeongsang Province.)
Will you bow again if you win?
Right. She always bowed...
whenever she won.
I was too grateful.
You were too grateful.
Can you please stop talking with that accent?
You're forcing it too much.
To express my gratitude,
- I will bow. - She will bow.
Will you bow again today?
I will bow today too.
(She's unbelievable.)
All right.
Who will be the last one to survive...
and become Dongmakgol Girl's rival?
The first match of Round One,
the duet song competition, starts right now.
(The King of Mask Singer)
This is the first match of Round One.
I will race towards the golden mask.
Hey, Hop In!
Mountain Motorcycle.
(Hey, Hop In! Mountain Motorcycle.)
(Let's go.)
(Follow me.)
Hop in.
My performance begins soon.
(He's moving forward at the speed of 1km per hour.)
(I will hop in.)
It's a real motorcycle.
Just doing that means he's young. You know that, right?
- There? - You can't do that if you're stiff.
You are so sharp.
Contending against him is this masked singer.
I will fly to Round Two.
Mysterious Duck Boat.
(Mysterious Duck Boat)
Would you like to float on the sea of my charms?
(Are you ready to fall in love with my music?)
(We are ready!)
Duck Boat...
doesn't look like a professional singer.
Isn't she the host of "Tasty Guys"?
- Min Kyoung? - Yes.
She could be Min Kyoung.
(The two will be all over mountains and rivers.)
(They will reach the panelists' hearts in the end...)
(and cool down the heat of the late summer.)
("Summer Love" by Ulala Session, IU)
It's "Summer Love".
("Summer Love" by Ulala Session, IU)
(The first duet performance starts with a jaunty intro.)
(Mountain Motorcycle has a sweet, husky voice.)
(He has manliness in his voice.)
(His trustworthy voice makes you feel safe.)
(On the contrary, Duck Boat has a cute and sweet voice.)
(Just like her voice, her gestures are cute too.)
She has an adorable voice.
(Their performance makes all of our hearts pound.)
(Their harmony would make you fall in love in any minute.)
(Come here.)
(Dancing)
(Screaming)
(How exciting)
(Mountain Motorcycle is back to singing seriously.)
(Duck Boat's voice sounds very cute.)
(Their lovely harmony makes the panelists' hearts flutter.)
(Women are in love with him.)
(Mountain Motorcycle is a great rapper as well.)
(Mountain Motorcycle and Duck Boat are both cheerful.)
(Excited)
(Mountain Motorcycle and Duck Boat performed "Summer Love".)
(This gives us butterflies in our stomachs!)
That was a great duet performance.
They're adorable.
Gosh, it was such an amazing performance.
The first match of Round One is now over.
Young Seok is the poet of Korean music industry. How did you like it?
Not only one is mysterious, but both are mysterious to me.
- Both are mysterious. - Yes. I'm not sure who they are.
But Duck Boat's voice...
is very lively.
It's like vitamin C.
It's like hand-squeezed orange juice.
- It's refreshing and lively. - Exactly.
If she gets lucky,
she could move on to the next rounds.
(What did you just say?)
(He likes his joke.)
(Please don't make such jokes.)
He suddenly made a dad joke.
Let's hear from a vocal cords expert.
Hyun Chul?
Mountain Motorcycle looks like...
a musician.
He seems like a rapper.
He had good diction.
When he was rapping, he looked very confident.
His hand gestures...
didn't seem awkward at all.
That's why I think so.
(His rap sounded confident and his hand gestures looked skilled.)
(Is Mountain Motorcycle a rapper?)
- And as for Duck Boat... - Duck Boat.
She has a very cute voice.
You can talk cute,
but you can act cute as well.
She looks like a person who often acts cute.
And as she started singing,
Bong Sun burst into laughter.
- Did she? - Yes.
(After her first verse,)
(Ji Min and Bong Sun burst into laughter.)
(Why do you laugh?)
(I don't know.)
I suppose she's in Bong Sun's field.
Her performance was excellent,
but she's not a professional singer.
I have friends who are professional singers too.
Didn't you even release an album yourself?
- Yes, I did. - I see.
Do you think she's a professional singer or a comedienne?
She acts as well.
Is she an actress then?
She hosts shows too.
Is she a show host then?
(She's an all-rounder who can act and host shows.)
If she's the person I think she is, yes.
I burst into laughter with Bong Sun earlier.
I was not so sure until...
I recognized...
the ankles.
- Exactly. - I see.
This friend...
(Please pay attention to her ankles.)
This friend likes to show her ankles.
Actually, I recognized some of her gestures too.
- Did you? - Yes.
But if we mention her name,
you might judge her before getting to know her.
- So we're being careful. - Actually...
the amount of information Bong Sun gave us...
is enough for us to judge her.
Right? It was too much.
The amount of information matters to you now?
That's not what I meant.
You should just keep your mouth shut in such situations.
You're not the one to decide to keep my mouth shut or open.
I'm not saying you should keep it shut for good.
You should know when to do it and when not to do it.
Could you please look at each other when you fight?
It makes us feel uncomfortable.
He has sunglasses on the back of his head,
so it kind of looks like he's looking at her.
- Seriously... - This is for Bong Sun.
- I'm staring into his sunglasses.
Do you have no idea about who Mountain Motorcycle could be?
He looked really cool when he rapped.
- So I think he might have been... - He's a rapper?
a rapper of a 1st or 2nd generation idol group.
He's not a current idol?
No, he's not.
I could feel he's not so young...
from his voice.
I know whom you have in mind.
(Gu Ra has the same person in his mind?)
Exactly.
(Laughing)
I know who he is.
He looks very much like Kim Jae Duck.
Exactly. He looks like him.
- He looks a lot like him. - Sechs Kies?
- You're right. - He looks like him, doesn't he?
He looks very much like Jae Duck.
You're right. He uses a dialect too.
- Doesn't he look like Jae Duck? - He does.
When Yang Sang Gook pretends that he doesn't speak in a dialect,
he speaks like this.
Earlier, he said, "Hey, hop in." If people from Seoul say that,
they would speak like this.
But he spoke like, "Hey, hop in."
He really spoke like this.
(He used a dialect when he introduced himself?)
When he was introducing himself.
People from Gyeongsang Province tend to stress the last word.
So he speaks a dialect.
I don't think he's an idol singer.
Idol singers won't tuck their pants...
in their shoes like that.
But he tucked them in their shoes.
Do idols these days not tuck their pants into their shoes?
- Well... - Let me pull it out.
Mr. Sul, people tuck them in shoes these days.
Exactly. Don't they look more natural?
Does it? His pants are very tight.
- Doesn't he look like a skater? - I think that looks better.
She's right.
So you think he should pull his pants out of the shoes.
Exactly.
Now, let's check out their specialties...
to guess better.
First, I'll let you hear Mountain Motorcycle's real voice.
Although he's a man,
he will imitate Lena Park.
(He will imitate Lena Park's voice.)
He says he will imitate Lena Park's voice.
(I know this is a dream)
(I wish I never wake up)
(He even imitates her hand gestures.)
That's it.
(That was good!)
He did sound like Lena Park.
- He sounded very similar to her. - He did.
His voice sounds a bit husky.
Now, he'll imitate G-Dragon's voice.
(He will imitate G-Dragon's voice.)
Please let us hear G-Dragon's voice. Let's hear it.
(When I sing)
(His voice cracks.)
- Let me try again. - Okay.
I just heard him speaking in a dialect!
He spoke in a dialect!
(It was a dangerous moment.)
You almost revealed your real voice.
He spoke in a dialect.
Don't be flustered.
Let me put it this way.
He will imitate G-Dragon's voice right after he woke up.
It's G-Dragon singing...
shortly after he woke up. Let us hear it!
(Witty)
He's stretching, and he's suddenly asked to sing.
(He tries it again in pajamas.)
(I'm going to go back to you)
That's it.
(His second attempt succeeds!)
He imitated G-Dragon's voice with his real voice.
Now, it's finally time to check out Duck Boat's specialty.
You like "Dooly the Little Dinosaur", the cartoon, right?
She will imitate the voices of the characters in it.
The skeleton fish from...
"Dooly the Little Dinosaur".
It goes, "I'm so hungry."
"I'm so hungry."
Not so many people would've paid attention to the skeleton fish.
The voice of the skeleton fish. Let us hear it.
"I keep eating, but I'm still hungry"
(Eating up the panelists)
That's it.
It was the skeleton fish.
Did it sound similar?
This time, it's Douner's mom's voice.
Instead of Dooly's mom?
It's Douner's mom's voice. Let's hear it.
"Douner, Douner. Answer me."
That's all. Yes.
Is she the one you think she is?
With that voice, she can also imitate...
the female voice from the karaoke machine.
It goes, "Did you guys have a good time?"
She can imitate that voice very well.
Is that so? Do you often go to karaokes?
I see.
Could you imitate the voice from the karaoke machine...
in Douner's mom's voice?
Really? Let's hear it.
"Douner, Douner. You sure know how to party!"
(That's great.)
That was good.
I think she really is the one you think she is.
You're good.
I hope she won't feel so daunted.
She must have thought...
that Bong Sun and Ji Min would try to protect her.
- And not reveal her identity? - If she did, she's wrong.
When Bong Sun realizes that the masked singer is someone she knows,
she eagerly reveals their identity...
- to appear on TV more. - Listen.
I was trying to keep her identity secret,
but it was Gu Ra who persistently revealed it.
- Everyone is sure that she's L. - I know.
If we pretend that we don't recognize her,
people would think that we're just putting on an act.
- That's why... - Yes.
- we were just... - So you just made it clear.
She's a good dancer too!
Is she a good dancer too?
Yes, she's an excellent dancer.
Are you just revealing her identity now?
Whatever!
Oh, my. As it happened,
she wrote here that dancing is her specialty too.
I think she's really that person you're referring to.
Duck Boat prepared a dance...
of a lady who got cramps in her leg...
while riding a duck boat.
Yes. It's a rather detailed description of the dance.
Music, please!
(Music starts.)
(She starts off with some sexy moves.)
Her legs are fine so far.
(Just like the charming wingbeats of a duck)
She's riding a duck boat.
She's doing okay so far.
Oh, she's got cramps in her legs!
She got cramps while riding a duck boat!
(It leads to an electrifying and thrilling...)
(ending pose.)
That's all.
(Bravo)
All right. You're sharp in observation.
Watching her dance makes the two of us certain it's her.
Yes. She should've put on a long skirt instead.
What about you, Hyun Yi? Many people seem to think...
- that Duck Boat is a comedienne. - Yes.
I've been doing a radio show for a year with that person.
- You have? Oh, my. - Yes.
The show is supposed to broadcast live today,
but she told me that she had to shoot a drama today.
I guess it must be her then.
Based on circumstantial evidence, I'm 200 percent sure...
that it's her.
I see. Wait, she wants to speak. Let us disguise your voice.
I'm doomed because of Bong Sun.
(I'm sorry.)
Right. Yes.
Sometimes, it's your friend who causes you trouble.
Now, I will announce...
the result of the first match of Round One.
These two masked singers tantalized everyone with their performance.
Between Mountain Motorcycle and Duck Boat,
who will be the winner of this match? Let's find out now!
(Mountain Motorcycle has a charming voice that hits your ears.)
(He made a dash for Round Two.)
(Duck Boat has a cute, lovely voice.)
(She freely swam in the hearts of the audience.)
Who will win this match...
and be the first one to move on to Round Two?
The winner is...
- The winner is... - The winner is...
Who is it going to be? I really can't tell.
(It's an unpredictable match.)
(Whose voice will people hear again in Round Two?)
(Who is it? I'm so nervous.)
Let's see the result. The winner is...
Who's the winner?
It's Mountain Motorcycle.
(Run, Mountain Motorcycle!)
Yes!
But Duck Boat did great too.
Mountain Motorcycle is the first one to move on to Round Two.
The score is...
61 to 38. The final score is 61 to 38.
Mountain Motorcycle, please go back to your waiting room.
Let's give him a big hand.
(Duck Boat's identity will be revealed.)
I will loosen myself up...
and really enjoy the stage in Round Two.
Let's go!
All right.
Now, let's find out who Duck Boat is.
Would she be the person you think she is?
Or will someone else surprise us?
We will reveal her identity with a solo performance...
she prepared.
Please give her a big round of applause!
(She has an adorable voice.)
(It feels like vitamin C.)
(Duck Boat has a charm like a fresh, juicy fruit.)
(I recognize her ankles.)
- Right. - I see.
(I saw how happy Bong Sun was to see her,)
(and I realized that she's L.)
(Who is Duck Boat?)
("Love Is Always Thirsty" by Yumi)
Isn't this "Love Is Always Thirsty"?
("Love Is Always Thirsty" by Yumi)
If she sings a ballad with that voice, it'll be amazing.
(Her choice of the song makes them excited.)
(It sounds great.)
(Her singing makes you perk up your ears.)
(It's a heartbreaking song.)
(She sings each note carefully with sincerity.)
(The breakup etched deeply in her heart...)
(makes her voice sound more emotional.)
Now,
Duck Boat, please take off your mask...
and reveal your face!
(Cheering)
She is...
Who is it? Is it really her?
They're cheering like crazy!
They're going wild.
Reveal your face!
She is...
the comedienne with cute charms and a beautiful voice,
Lee Su Ji!
(It really was Lee Su Ji after all!)
(It's good to see you, Su Ji.)
It was her!
Lee Su Ji!
(She has a playful character.)
(Oh, my gosh!)
(Amazing singing skills were hidden behind.)
(She has a beautiful voice that makes you hold your breath.)
(Lee Su Ji's lovely charm spreads throughout the studio.)
How pretty.
(Her performance makes the audience want to love her.)
(It's amazing.)
(They've fallen in love with Su Ji's charms.)
(Good job.)
That was beautiful.
The comedienne, Lee Su Ji, is going active...
in various fields.
Please say hello to the viewers.
Hello. I'm the comedienne with a beautiful voice,
Lee Su Ji.
(She made her debut as a KBS official comedienne in 2012.)
(She became a talk of the town with her Korean Chinese acting.)
(Drawing people's attention with her cute charms,)
(she won the grand slam in the comedy field.)
(She even took over the commercial industry.)
(She stood out with her unique acting even in dramas.)
(Her clear and beautiful voice...)
(made her the main host of a radio show.)
(Lee Su Ji...)
(has endless charms and countless faces.)
They recognized you too soon.
It was nice to see them all,
- but they are such betrayers. - I know.
Why couldn't they help you hide your identity?
To be honest,
it was just so like her...
in our eyes...
because she was wearing clothes and shoes...
she usually likes to wear.
She came out just as she was.
She didn't hide her identity too much?
That was too obvious.
I didn't have money to buy an outfit because I didn't work recently.
Goodness.
I heard you were worried...
you might reveal your identity yourself.
One of my habits is...
- to address myself with my name. - How?
"Su Ji doesn't think she can sing. She's so nervous."
That's one of my habits.
I was worried I might say out my name...
- and get caught. - I see.
By the way, you've shown...
a lot of your new sides in this show today.
I always showed others my comical sides...
and my comical acting before.
I wanted to show them my serious sides too.
I'm thinking my boyfriend will fall for me completely.
She's having an open relationship with her boyfriend right now.
About your solo performance,
did you choose the song on purpose for your boyfriend?
Gosh, stop it.
(That's right.)
You're good with variety shows and acting.
- You're the host of a radio show. - Right.
You are the previous host of that show.
(Seong Ju was the main host of that show before her.)
I heard you want to challenge yourself for a lot of positions.
Right. I find it very fun to host a show,
so it'd be great if I became a host of this show.
Right, Seong Ju.
Pass this down to her as well.
You did for your past radio show, so do the same for this one too.
She'll be really grateful.
It won't be easy to deal with Gu Ra though.
Your opponent won the match,
but the panelists cast a lot of votes...
- for you. - Thank you.
I voted for her too.
- You too? - Yes.
She was good at singing,
but she had such overflowing charms...
that she ended up possessing us.
So I voted for her.
Right, she's gaining a lot of love...
from the listeners of her radio show for a reason.
She showed off her lovely charms as much as she wanted.
Please give her another round of applause.
(Go for it, Su Ji.)
Go for it.
It was so fun.
Can't I go again?
No one will recognize me if I lose my weight, right?
About 30kg?
I got caught...
because of my ankles.
I should've worn ankle warmers or something.
I often sang playful songs...
or acted playful roles.
I showed people a lot of those sides.
I hope...
the viewers would be surprised by my feminine sides...
through watching this show.
I wish people can't help but smile...
just by hearing my name.
I want to be a comedienne like that.
(Laughing)
As the result of Round One,
Hey, Hop In! Mountain Motorcycle...
wins against Lee Su Ji and advances to Round Two.
It's the second match of Round One.
The singing wave will sweep in.
Legend of the Blue Sea, Seiren.
(Legend of the Blue Sea, Seiren)
Are you ready...
to fall for my charming voice?
(She looks as if she'll make every guy in the world fall for her.)
She's sexy.
(She's sexy.)
- She must be skilled. - She's like Hyo Lin.
Against her...
is the voice which has waited for 1,000 years.
Because of Liver, Nine Tailed Fox.
(Because of Liver, Nine Tailed Fox)
I'll make the studio refreshing with my performance.
(Are your livers all right?)
She's not an easy opponent.
Is it a battle between two skilled singers?
I can feel her energy.
(Their voices are born to captivate people.)
(Which voice will capture the audience's hearts?)
(Will it be Seiren, who resembles the blue sea?)
(Or Nine Tailed Fox, who has waited 1,000 years under the moonlight?)
(The mood seems extraordinary from the prelude.)
It's strange. What is it?
What is it?
(It's a dream-like pop song.)
(Jaw dropping)
(The song is from the animation, "The Prince of Egypt".)
(It's a legendary duet song between Mariah Carey and Whitney Houston.)
(They're having a head-to-head match with the duet song of the century.)
(Seiren has an abundant size of voice volume.)
(Her charms make the audience focus on her voice.)
(The voice of Nine Tailed Fox is clear like pure water.)
(The audience is in love with her clear and transparent voice.)
It's a neck and neck match.
This should be Final Round.
(They're falling straight in love with the melody.)
(It's refreshing like Mariah Carey.)
(Dongmakgol Girl has already been captivated.)
(Seiren leads the melody in a relaxed mood.)
(Her deep emotions are like those of Whitney Houston.)
(Her voice reaches out cleanly.)
(How beautiful.)
(Their voices make a great harmony as if they're one.)
(The harmony builds up burningly.)
(The two legends' charming harmony...)
(is as great as that of the best divas in the generation.)
(It's touching enough to part the Red Sea in two walls.)
(The melody that brings miracles...)
(fills the stage with reverence.)
(The intense harmony makes everyone stop breathing.)
(Shocked)
(It's an epic tale of emotions that is told by the two voices.)
(The performance enchants the audience.)
(People feel like they have listened to a folk tale.)
(Their beliefs completed "When You Believe".)
(We fell for you.)
Their performance deserves a standing ovation.
I am close to tears. My goodness.
Don't act like you understood the lyrics.
It's not about the lyrics. It's about their talent.
The second match of Round One came to an end.
They sang a pop song with their beautiful voices.
Kai.
Mariah Carey and Whitney Houston sang the original duet.
They weren't lacking in comparison with the two great singers.
They gave us a beautiful harmony.
(It was a match between two beautiful voices.)
Nine Tailed Fox reminded me...
Lea Salonga,
a musical actress from the Philippines.
She is well known for her role of Kim in "Miss Saigon".
Her voice reminded me of Lea Salonga's voice.
Her voice is as beautiful as a jewel.
You said Nine Tailed Fox...
reminded you of Lea Salonga.
Does that mean she could be from the Philippines?
The way she reacts to my every word tells me...
that she isn't a foreigner.
- She isn't a foreigner. - No.
- I see. - It was beautiful.
As for Seiren,
you probably know me, right?
"You probably know me, right?"
You probably know me, right?
Did you recognize her voice?
I thought about why...
the two of them sang a pop song,
and someone came across my mind.
I am sure I am the only one...
among the panelists...
who know this diva.
Is that so?
I won't say more.
(He keeps us on our toes.)
- He is good. - This is how you give a hint.
- That's right. - He protected the masked singer.
- This is how you give a hint. - He is good.
He closed his mouth right away. This is how you give a hint.
It's an honor to meet a diva like her...
- on The King of Mask Singer. - That's how big she is.
- I will stop here. - All right.
Whenever a masked singer sings,
I steal a glance at Kai.
If he recognizes the voice,
he looks at Kim Ho Young.
Really?
(After the performance like a hurricane ended,)
(Glancing)
(They exchange looks.)
I am close to tears.
- Is she someone you know? - What? No.
Is she a musical singer? The two of you exchanged looks.
(Gu Ra gathered valuable information.)
I am certain that she is a diva from the musical industry.
All right. Sul Woon Do, what did you think?
It will be hard for Queen of Mask Singer.
Does one of them have the talent to threaten her position?
I think she is capable of beating Queen of Mask Singer.
She has that power and energy.
- Seiren. - Seiren.
When Seiren entered the stage,
she pressed her hands together.
I think she is on the older side.
I think she has years of experience.
Do only old people press their hands together?
No. However,
I haven't seen an idol singer do that.
Secondly,
she brought up a powerful sound from her stomach...
and changed her voice freely.
It let me know that she has sung for many years.
She is fit to be a diva.
(The class of a diva)
I am excited for her future performances.
I think Seiren will be better at singing Korean songs.
Is that so?
Her costume tells me that much.
"Her costume tells me that much."
- The traditional Korean songs. - That's right.
It's a costume Korean singers typically wear.
Hwe Seung of N.Flying.
When Seiren began to sing,
- she pulled out her emotions. - Her deep emotions.
It made me wonder, "Is she a musical actress?"
Then I realized...
the two masked singers...
had the same gestures.
Both of them did this.
So I came to think...
that Seiren must be a seasoned musical actress,
and Nine Tailed Fox must be a newly-debuted musical actress.
Let's hear from Lee Hyun Yi, a model.
Upon listening to the performance,
I am sure the one on the left is Korean.
Seiren is Korean.
I think she learned English in Korean.
- Her pronunciation was familiar. - Yes.
And I think the one on the right sounded more like a foreigner.
She knew which letters were silent.
She really sang like a foreigner.
I thought Seiren's pronunciation...
sounded more like a foreigner's.
I say that because when Nine Tailed Fox sang,
I made out a few words. "Because".
(Because?)
(She heard "Miracles" as "Because".)
(That's how she made out a word.)
I didn't hear anything else.
You learned English for six years.
You should be able to make out "Because".
In any case, I think Seiren has a better chance...
of being a foreigner.
That's why you couldn't make out any words she sang.
Gu Ra, what do you think? You majored in English Literature.
Don't say that.
I barely made it to graduation.
However, I had a few thoughts.
The format of The King of Mask Singer...
was exported to the US.
I read an article about it.
The panelists involved...
Robin Thicke and Nicole Scherzinger.
That made me wonder if Bong Sun is like...
Nicole Scherzinger.
Bong Sun is looking her up.
There is a celebrity named Nicole Scherzinger.
You should be satisfied since she is cool.
I thought to myself,
"The American version of the show must be like this."
I had those thoughts.
I see.
We heard various opinions...
about the masked singers' nationalities and professions.
They will now show their specialties.
First, Nine Tailed Fox will show us...
a cute act for a morning call. Show us.
Wake up. Get up already.
(Their smiles betray how they feel.)
- I want to sleep some more. - Wake up.
I want to sleep some more. I am tired.
Wake up.
Let's stop here.
I think she is Japanese.
"Wake up."
- "Wake up." - She said "Wake up"...
like a Japanese person.
(Is she Japanese like Sayuri?)
This time, she will show a cute act for waking up.
A cute act for waking up.
Let's hear it.
(Yawning)
Gu Ra, I had a dream about a ghost.
I had a dream about a ghost.
It was so scary.
Let's end it here.
It was her waking up.
- She is Japanese. - "Gu Ra."
- Right?
She has a lovely voice.
I think she lives in a dormitory.
- A dormitory? - Yes. She is an idol singer.
The fact she prepared a specialty...
about waking up in the morning tells me...
she has done it often to her fellow team members.
She isn't Momo or Sana of Twice, is she?
Probably not.
- That can't be the case. - But she sounded so Japanese.
She said, "Gu Ra."
- Anyone can do that. - The thing is...
- It's not hard. - Okay, Gu Ra.
(Okay, Gu Ra.)
- There was a difference. - There was a difference,
- but it wasn't significant. - That's right.
Now, let's listen...
to Seiren's EDM beat impression.
That's like Ok Dong Ja's specialty.
(That's like Ok Dong Ja's specialty.)
Let us hear the EDM beat impression.
(Humming)
(It's very unique.)
(The beat piles on.)
(The nightclub opens.)
(Are you here by yourself?)
I closed the door.
(Hold on, Mom is calling me.)
I opened the door.
(She is going to bed.)
(Embarrassed)
Let's end it here.
(Her specialty seems to be based on a personal experience.)
Kai, does the person you know behave that way?
(Torn)
- I haven't seen that side. - You haven't, have you?
- I haven't. - Could she behave that way?
(Am I wrong?)
It looks like Kai is having second thoughts.
Now, I will announce the result of the second match of Round One.
The score difference between them...
is just one vote.
(The score difference between them is just one vote.)
I will now reveal the winner of this match.
(The winner will be revealed now!)
(Seiren has a powerful high-pitched voice.)
(Nine Tailed Fox has a clear voice.)
(A fascinating harmony was made by the two vocalists.)
(Between the two vocalists with different charms, who will win?)
Between Seiren, the sea nymph,
and Nine Tailed Fox,
who will win this match?
The winner is...
- The winner is... - The winner is...
My goodness.
Oh, my gosh.
(It was a fierce match between two female vocalists.)
(Who will move one step closer to being the Queen of Mask Singer?)
The winner is...
(Legend of the Blue Sea, Seiren wins.)
Seiren wins.
(Her seductive song will echo around once again.)
(Please seduce us again, Seiren.)
(Oh, no. Nine Tailed Fox.)
Seiren beat Nine Tailed Fox by only one vote.
It's 50 to 49.
The match was decided by one vote.
It was a neck and neck match.
The celebrity panelists... All right.
Please stop it. That's enough.
Please go back to your waiting room.
Please give her a big hand.
Seiren has moved on to Round Two.
It was a very close match.
I'll put Nine Tailed Fox's share of effort in the next round...
and make it to the Queen of Mask Singer.
Wish me luck.
There were a lot of guesses about her identity.
We will reveal her identity with a solo performance...
prepared for Round Two.
Please give her a big hand.
(She reminds us of Lea Salonga, a singer loved in the Philippines.)
(She has a beautiful gemlike voice.)
(She sounds like a person from a foreign country.)
(After she showed her cute specialty,)
(the majority opinion was that she is a Japanese.)
Is she singing a pop song?
What is this song?
- I love this song. - It's "Fine".
("Fine" by Tae Yeon)
(She doesn't sound like a foreigner.)
- Gosh, she's so good. - She has such a pretty voice.
(Her clear voice resonates throughout the stage.)
Her voice sounds sophisticated.
(Her clear and cool high notes make everyone feel good.)
- Who is she? - Now,
Nine Tailed Fox, please take off your mask...
and reveal your face.
(My goodness, this is amazing.)
Who is she?
Gosh, they're so excited.
Who on earth is she?
(Why are they cheering like that?)
She is...
a rookie singer with a cute appearance,
Kriesha Chu.
That's her. Right.
Gosh, that's amazing.
I see. She's Kriesha Chu.
She's so pretty.
(She's so pretty.)
(Kriesha Chu!)
(Unlike her baby-faced looks,)
She's so pretty.
(she controls her voice skillfully.)
(I love her high notes.)
(Despite her small body, her presence fills the stage.)
Gosh, she's so cool.
It sounds so cool.
(Kriesha Chu's "Fine" makes you want to listen to her voice every day.)
That was excellent.
She has a world class voice.
Gosh, it was fantastic.
She makes even my heart flutter.
Please say hello to our viewers.
Hello, I'm Kriesha Chu. Nice to meet you.
(She appeared on the audition show, "K-pop Star".)
(With her amazing performances...)
(and outstanding live singing skills,)
(she won second place in the show.)
(She made her debut as a solo artist in 2017.)
(She's a talented musician who writes her own songs.)
(With her lovely charms,)
(she even appeared on TV commercials.)
(She recently got her feet in the Philippines.)
(She became the next Sandara Park by gaining great popularity.)
(Kriesha Chu is the next generation global star with a bright future.)
What's your nationality?
I'm from the Philippines,
but I grew up in the States.
Hyun Yi was right about that.
- She knew it? - Yes.
- Why did you not say anything? - I told Gu Ra...
that she might be Kriesha Chu.
But he said no.
Hey, we just met today.
- I didn't sound like that. - He didn't even look at me.
That's not true.
I think she's Kriesha Chu.
She was here before.
(That's not her?)
Hyun Yi knew it, but Gu Ra ignored her opinion.
I wasn't sure about it.
She told me a lot later than that.
Right before she took off her mask.
- Right before that? - Yes.
- When she was about to take it off? - She was about to take it off.
- It was too late. - There was nothing I could do.
I appeared on the same TV show with Kriesha last week.
I thought she had very long legs back then.
And Nine Tailed Fox had the same legs.
- So I thought it was Kriesha Chu. - When...
she took off the mask and turned around,
I thought she was Son Yeon Jae.
- She looks like Son Yeon Jae. - They look very similar.
I was surprised.
I heard Kriesha Chu is...
the next Sandara Park in the Philippines now.
She was even introduced on CNN before.
She's very popular in the Philippines.
Sandara Park is very famous and popular...
in the Philippines.
I believe it was a good influence on me.
I see.
So I want to work harder...
to be a good singer.
All right. Bong Sun, you seem very surprised.
I heard she's still very young.
As she took off the mask and sang with her eyes closed,
she looked so beautiful.
She filled the whole stage alone.
Thank you for your great performance.
- All right. - Thank you.
Good.
With her overflowing talents and charms,
Kriesha Chu implanted her own image in our minds.
Please give her a round of applause again.
Good luck.
(We look forward to your future endeavors.)
(Relieved)
They liked my performance better than I thought,
so I was excited.
I was more surprised than they were.
They said I have a fascinating voice.
I was very glad to hear that.
I'll keep working hard to become a better singer.
Please love and support me. Thank you.
This is the third match of Round One.
He's got the most charming back.
My Song Is Worth 500 Points, 500 Won Tails.
(My Song Is Worth 500 Points, 500 Won Tails)
Will I be able to become the king of mask singe?
Bet 50 cents on me.
(Bet on me.)
(We will invest all our money on you!)
So that side was tails?
So the side that has the number 500 must be tails.
- That's tails. - Right.
Contending against him is...
this singer who will make his way to the throne little by little.
Mom, Give Me 500 Won. 500 Won Heads.
(Mom, Give Me 500 Won. 500 Won Heads)
If you don't choose me, I'll ask for 500 won.
(I've saved up a lot of talents.)
(We are excited already.)
Tails and heads.
The two sides are the same
The two of them make a dollar.
Do they have similar singing styles?
Why are they named 500 Won Tails and 500 Won Heads?
(They are the same coins, but they have different charms.)
(Which side of the coin will touch our hearts and win the victory?)
(Is it the tails with the number, who is certain of his worth?)
(Or is it the heads with the graceful crane?)
("Reminiscence" by Sanullim)
They chose a sweet song.
My goodness.
(His beautiful voice immediately captures our hearts.)
(500 Won Heads sings gently as if he's whispering.)
His voice is lovely.
(My goodness.)
(He calmly sings with a low voice.)
(500 Won Tails delicately sings each note.)
(Who could it be?)
It sounds familiar.
(Where did I hear this voice?)
(With the rhythmical and sweet voice, he melts our hearts.)
(He fights back with his appealing voice and devilish charms.)
(The combination of the two artists warms our hearts.)
It's lovely, isn't it?
(I also think it's lovely.)
(Their body automatically responds to the warm melody.)
(House Band)
(Their voices sound familiar.)
It's got a strange charm to it.
(I was the one)
(Who was)
(Hateful)
(We want to remember the performance of Tails and Heads forever.)
(The audience is filled with lingering feelings.)
(Their hearts are smeared with calmness.)
I hate them. How am I suppose to choose one?
- I love them. - Yes.
(They love it.)
The third match of...
Round One has ended.
Young Seok, I think this song...
matched your emotion perfectly.
Yes. When I heard their song,
I realized 500 coin is...
clearly heavier than a 10-dollar bill.
It's heavier in weight.
It had depth to it.
500 Won Heads...
interpreted the song using the rhythm,
and 500 Won Tails interpreted it using the lyrics.
500 Won Heads...
had a voice that stands out,
and the way he broke his voice in the middle was charming.
Looking at the way he moves to the rhythm,
I think he might be a rapper.
500 Won Heads is more like a rapper.
That's what I thought.
In terms of lonely feelings,
I thought 500 Won Tails was better.
If I were to compare him to an actor,
he's like an actor who seems like he is acting hard,
even when he's not doing anything.
When he's not doing anything?
He's not doing anything, but he looks like he's acting hard.
That's the impression I got from 500 Won Tails.
He's got a very special charm.
- It was very original. - It was original.
I am convinced...
that 500 Won Tails is an actor.
He sang very well,
but he treated the lyrics...
as if it was a script.
He was walking on a street. His lover had left him.
He was walking weakly on the street,
and he didn't want to do anything. Then he cried.
He sang the song...
with that feeling.
I am very precise, aren't I?
Right. Right. He's saying I'm right.
He simply nodded,
and you hurriedly concluded that he agrees with you.
Right. He was simply saying the lines with the rhythm.
I thought the singer on the left...
was an idol singer.
- An idol singer. - Yes.
An idol singer.
When he first began singing,
I wondered if he could be Tim.
- Tim. - That's what I thought.
He's got that feeling.
It felt as if his body was very relaxed.
- Right. - That's why...
I thought he might be Tim.
But he was clearly not Tim.
But after that, I changed my mind and thought...
he might be someone who dances well...
and who is in charge of rapping...
in an idol group.
In case of 500 Won Heads,
I think he's a great singer...
who switches back and forth hip hop and RnB.
If you sing this song calmly like the original version,
it could sound very boring.
But he filled here and there...
with his talents.
He showed everything he got as a singer...
and made it not boring at all.
I think he's a very talented singer.
Right. Great.
Looking at 500 Won Heads,
I thought it was funny.
Yoon Seok is sitting just over there.
So why did I feel as if he was standing there on the stage?
Did he give off Yoon Seok's vibe?
If Yoon Seok got sick today...
and didn't show up,
- We would've suspected him. - We would've...
certainly suspected him.
Right. He stands like him too.
He lowers his head like Yoon Seok too.
You're actually right.
Yoon Seok, do you agree that he looks like you?
I realized it today that I have a twin brother.
- He's just like me. - You think he's similar to you.
He's very similar to me.
If you look at his body,
he looks more like Han Min Kwan than Yoon Seok.
- Han Min Kwan. - Yes.
He looks like Min Kwan,
but his pronunciation is different.
Today we have a lot of people from abroad.
- Do you think he's a foreigner? - Yes. I think he might be.
According to his pronunciation, he might be a foreigner.
He is...
If you walk like that,
people would say,
"Why do you look so weak?"
When I heard him sing...
I recently went to Barcelona.
Barcelona.
It's the city of Gaudi.
Gaudi came up with the type of Mosaic called Trencadis.
He broke tiles and put them together.
When you look at it from afar, it looks like an artwork.
He sang rather plainly.
He sang casually. But as a whole,
his song was like an artwork.
That's how I felt.
- He's got charms. - Yes.
Stop looking so weak.
Have you always had...
an image of a weak man?
I am just curious about it.
It would help me make guesses too.
Do you consider yourself a weak person...
or a strong person?
He says he's a strong person.
These days,
why don't they talk themselves?
Can't he talk?
I am strong.
He's strong.
I am certain that he's an actor.
He's an actor, and I think...
he's an old bachelor.
- He's an old bachelor? - Yes.
Old bachelors hate...
being seen as weak.
They hate it.
So it's like his complex.
They think it would make them hard to get married.
- So he could be an old single man. - Yes.
Then why would he not move at all when he sings?
That's all part of his plan.
He was so into his role.
I'm not sure if that's the case.
Maybe it's like when Bong Sun was a contestant.
Because people might recognize her, she was told to stay still.
Maybe he's someone too famous.
- I don't think he is. - Is he not?
- No, he's not. - Really?
- No, he's not. - I see.
I think 500 Won Tails...
is a married man.
- Is he married? - Yes.
The way he's standing tells...
that his wife gives him a hard life.
It could be interpreted that way as well.
- That's what I think. - I see that's his point.
But I have my point as well.
So he's nagged a lot by his wife.
What's important is that his shoulders are drooped.
I think I recognize those shoulders.
(Surprised)
I recognize the shoulders.
I know someone who dresses like that and looks like that.
- Who is it? - I'm sure he looks like this.
- Gaeko looks like him. - Gaeko?
- I don't think he's Gaeko. - He sings like him too.
Gaeko of Dynamic Duo?
If that's how you're going to react, I'm not doing this.
- He's not Gaeko. - He was already on our show.
- He's not Gaeko. - He was already a contestant.
- Ji Min. - He was being easy on you.
If I said that, he would have said, "Gaeko, my foot!"
- No one was supporting me. - Bong Sun, you know me.
If it were you, I would have already scolded you.
- Exactly. - I would've said, "Gaeko, my foot."
But Gaeko has a fitter body.
- He's not Gaeko. - He's not?
I'm sure the other guy isn't married because...
married men never wear necklaces on their shirts.
- Really? - Married men doesn't do that?
Is there such a rule?
Married men put their necklaces inside their shirts.
He has his necklace on his shirt...
because he wants to show himself off.
Both of them seem to be experts of their fields.
- Experts of their fields? - Experts.
- Are they that good? - Yes, so...
- What fields are they in? - Well...
500 Won Heads is a rhythm and blues musician.
- Rhythm and blues? - A rhythm and blues expert?
He performed rhythm and blues music...
in a new way.
He's obviously a rhythm and blues singer.
- I agree. - Everyone can tell that.
Someone said earlier that he's definitely a hip hop musician.
That's what he thinks. This is what I think.
Is he pretty famous then?
He's well-known in his field.
He's definitely a professional singer.
- He's not an emperor of the field? - Excuse me?
He's not an emperor of the field?
You're asking a very difficult question.
- And as for 500 Won Heads... - 500 Won Heads.
My favorite American singer is Frank Sinatra.
He doesn't use vibrato at all when he performs.
That's how he can have concerts...
when he's almost 80.
And this is why I think his performance was great.
Personally, I prefer his music.
Did you vote for him?
- What? - Did you vote for him?
Do I have to tell you?
- So you didn't. - Well, that's what I had to say.
You can't say whom you voted for.
I can't say that.
(It's top secret.)
Now, let's check out their specialties...
to guess better.
We'll start with 500 Won Heads. This doesn't sound easy.
He's going to dance to a song by BTS.
It's "Fire". Please queue the music.
(Get ready to burn with 500 Won Heads.)
(He dances with all his might.)
Take a careful look at him.
(He dances all right,)
(but then he dances awkwardly.)
He even dances like you.
(He's about to be completely discharged.)
(Let's do one last round.)
Is this how he'd normally dance?
Or is he dancing like this on purpose?
(He's already exhausted.)
That's it.
Yoon Seok, he's skinnier than you, isn't he?
He looks skinnier than me.
Before we talk about if he's a good dancer or not,
I have to say he looks so fragile.
(Tell me about it.)
When he was standing sideways,
he was way thinner than I thought.
He was flapping like a sheet of paper.
We're now talking about if he's thinner...
or Yoon Seok is thinner.
500 Won Tails is going to...
dance to a girl group's song.
He's too old for that.
Please queue the music.
("Ddu-du Ddu-du" by Blackpink)
(Ddu-du ddu-du ddu-du!)
(What on earth is that?)
Take a careful look.
(It's how middle-aged men dance when they're excited.)
You should see if this is how he would normally dance or not.
(Now, goodbye.)
That's it.
- He's obviously a middle-aged fan. - It's hard to tell.
He should try to dance to the music he likes...
rather than dancing awkwardly like that.
Are you saying this looked unnatural?
Of course. It was so obvious.
- Was he faking it? - Yes.
Why did he dance to"Ddu-rup Ddu-rup" if he has such good dancing skills?
- "Ddu-du Ddu-du". - So you think he's a good dancer.
I have a feeling that he has his own dance moves.
Please show that to us.
(Show your moves to us.)
Could you dance to "Fire"?
Would you like to dance to "Fire"?
(Focused)
All right. Please show it to us.
(500 Won Tails dances to "Fire".)
Let's see how he would dance to this music.
(It's not hot at all.)
(What?)
(What's that creaky move?)
He's dancing to the song.
He's got a sense of rhythm.
His dance isn't on fire.
But he's dancing to "Fire".
(He dances to the rhythm anyhow.)
(He embarrasses the audience.)
He's doing a good job.
(Why? What's the matter?)
That's it.
Isn't he Hong Kyung Min?
- What are you saying? - Hong Kyung Min.
- No way. - He looks like Hong Kyung Min.
Hong Kyung Min? The guy who performed "Broken Friendship"?
- Hong Kyung Min? - He must be Hong Kyung Min.
Hong Kyung Min is skinny like him.
No, he's not.
He's like Hong Kyung Min.
Hong Kyung Min is very skinny.
(Well...)
When I was a masked singer,
I danced...
in a way funnier way than I planned.
I think both of them were...
dancing in a funny way to hide their identity.
I think 500 Won Heads is...
popular on the internet among...
women in their 20s.
Do you have anyone in your mind?
- I think he could be Joo Young. - Joo Young?
- Yes, Joo Young. - Joo Young.
- He's popular among women. - Joo Young.
- Do you think he's Joo Young too? - I...
I don't think he's Joo Young.
He's wearing a necklace,
tall, and skinny.
- I think he might be Sleepy. - Sleepy?
But I'm not sure.
He sounds like a hip hop or a rhythm and blues musician.
That's how I came up with the idea.
They don't have more specialties, do they?
No, they don't have many specialties.
They're not enough.
Both of them must be very popular on the internet.
If they don't have specialties, we say they're popular on the internet.
(They have difficulty guessing their identities.)
How disappointing.
Let me announce the result of the third match of Round One.
They're together, but they can never see each other.
Between 500 Won Heads and 500 Won Tails,
which side of the coin...
is facing the panelists?
Let's check out the result right now!
(With his heartfelt voice,)
(500 Won Tails gave an earnest performance.)
(Fighting against him,)
(500 Won Heads expressed one's broken heart...)
(with his unique voice.)
Which of them will move on to Round Two?
Who is the winner of the match?
The winner is...
(The winner is...)
- The winner is... - The winner is...
(Which side of the coin stole the panelists' hearts?)
(Both of you aren't good enough for me.)
The one to move on...
to Round Two is...
- The winner is... - The winner is...
(500 Won Heads is the winner.)
500 Won Heads is the winner.
(500 Won Heads moves on to Round Two!)
(We can hear his voice again.)
(500 Won Tails did a good job though.)
This doesn't mean 500 Won Tails lost.
What was the score?
The score was 76 to 23.
By a comfortable margin, 500 Won Tails moves on to Round Two.
You may now go to the waiting room. Please give him a round of applause.
(500 Won Tails' identity will be unveiled soon.)
500 Won Heads is the winner.
Dongmakgol Girl, watch out. I'm coming.
(Dongmakgol Girl, watch out. I'm coming.)
Let's check out who he is...
through his solo performance.
Please give it up for him!
(Is he an actor? Is he an idol rapper?)
(Is he an actor who is an old single man?)
(He's a good singer, but he dances like a middle-aged man?)
(Who is 500 Won Tails?)
("Johnny" by Primary feat. Dynamic Duo)
He knows what he's doing.
- What? - He's finally starting to move.
(His solo performance has a totally different vibe.)
(He's so cool.)
(Who could he be?)
(Focused)
- He sounds like Gaeko. - No, he's not.
(His identity hasn't been revealed yet.)
(Wait a second.)
(This voice...)
(I know this voice that steals my heart.)
(Why? Who is it?)
Isn't that Dong Hyun?
- I think that's Dong Hyun, my son. - What?
That's Dong Hyun!
(That's Dong Hyun!)
(Is 500 Won Tails Dong Hyun, Gu Ra's son?)
(Did Gu Ra really recognize his son?)
Now,
500 Won Tails, please take off your mask...
and reveal your face!
(Is Gu Ra right?)
He is...
(Screaming)
What is it?
(No way.)
What?
He is...
the nation's grown son,
Kim Gu Ra Junior!
It's MC Gree!
(500 Won Tails was Gree, Gu Ra's son!)
(Unbelievable!)
Gosh!
See? It's Dong Hyun!
It's Dong Hyun.
(Did I surprise you?)
(Evading Gu Ra's eyes)
(Oh, my. It's my son.)
(He successfully fooled his dad.)
(It's a nice surprise to everyone,)
(but he focuses on his performance in this moment.)
(He used to be a cute, little boy,)
(but he's now a dashing young man on stage.)
(Here comes MC Gree!)
(Being immersed in the lyrics, he starts to groove to the music.)
(He makes his dad proud.)
(He successfully surprised his dad and gave a great performance.)
(You're the best!)
(It's the biggest surprise ever!)
It was Dong Hyun. I can't believe I didn't recognize him.
(This is hilarious.)
Gosh, this is the best.
It's such a big surprise.
Please say hello to our viewers.
Hello. I'm MC Gree, a musician.
It's good to see you.
("It's the best.")
(They became popular with this catchphrase.)
(With his cute face, great sense of humor,)
(and superb acting,)
(he captured every viewer's heart...)
(and became the nation's son.)
(Then he proved that he can rap in "High School Rapper".)
(He ruled the stage with strong confidence.)
(Manly)
(Breaking away from his title as Kim Gu Ra's son,)
(he made his successful debut with "Nineteen".)
(He's now growing fast as a singer-songwriter.)
(I'm not a little boy anymore.)
(Showing off his own sense of music,)
(he's proudly taking a leap forward as a rapper.)
You'd think that all fathers can recognize their son's voice,
but it turned out to be a bias.
There are fathers who can't.
Gu Ra even said that he would be in his 40s.
- It was his son. - Did I say that?
(He described his son...)
(as someone weak and feeble.)
(He thought his son was...)
(an old, single actor,)
(and he harshly criticized his son's specialties.)
(He failed to recognize his son in the end.)
- This show is so cruel. - Why?
My son was standing close by,
but I didn't recognize him.
I watched people cheering about...
the fact that I failed to recognize my son.
For a second, I felt good about making them laugh,
but I'm not really sure if I should feel...
- Gu Ra. - good about it or not.
Did you think he would recognize you right away?
I knew he wouldn't recognize me.
- Really? Why? - Yes.
I told him that I would let him know if I ever come to this show.
I asked him to pretend not to recognize me,
- but I didn't tell him about this. - He didn't know.
I called him earlier, but he didn't answer his phone.
He called me before I came up on the stage.
- He called you? - Yes.
- I did, and... - Is that what you did earlier?
He said, "I'll call you back later. I'm in a meeting."
I received his messages at 6:03pm.
Oh, my gosh. Even the wallpaper of his phone is Dong Hyun's picture,
but he failed to recognize him.
But he didn't recognize his son's voice.
(Embarrassed)
Two people among the panelists voted for MC Gree.
Hyun Chul and Gu Ra.
He still voted for his son.
He voted for his son.
Well, he mentioned Barcelona...
- and said some good things. - I somehow wanted to say that!
Gu Ra was the first one to realize...
that it was Dong Hyun.
- During his solo performance? - He had...
such affectionate eyes that I've never seen and said,
"That's Dong Hyun! It's my son!"
(He suddenly recognized his son's voice.)
(Isn't that Dong Hyun?)
(I think that's Dong Hyun.)
(That's Dong Hyun.)
(It's Dong Hyun.)
(That's Dong Hyun, my son.)
It's Dong Hyun.
That's Dong Hyun!
(Endless)
It's Dong Hyun.
(He shouted out his son's name 13 times with a big smile.)
(It's my Dong Hyun.)
(He's a doting dad.)
- My gosh. - You didn't recognize your son?
Oh, my goodness.
He had starry eyes like...
those of a price in some romance comics and said to me,
"That's my Dong Hyun."
"My son is on TV!"
Just like this, right?
Still, many of the panelists complimented you...
on your great expression of emotions.
I heard that you wanted to show them that you have a broad spectrum.
I wanted to show people my own style of music.
I feel very strongly that...
I'm still under the shadow of my dad.
- I'm trying to break away from it. - I see.
What I want to say to him is that...
it's not easy to live as the son of a celebrity.
Everyone knows that.
Nevertheless, he still has a decent personality,
and he never stops putting efforts in becoming a better rapper.
- I've been applauding him inside. - Yes.
I'm rooting for you, Dong Hyun.
Thank you.
Some people see you as Gu Ra's son,
but in time,
people will call Gu Ra as MC Gree's dad instead.
- That'd be great. - Yes.
I hope many of you will support him.
He surprised everyone today with his ability...
as a musician who has grown one step further.
It was MC Gree. Let's give him a big round of applause again!
Thank you.
Go, Dong Hyun!
(We hope you'll stay as a confident musician as you are now.)
(He finally comes down from the stage,)
(and it takes the edge off his tension.)
- You missed your appointment? - You did great, Dong Hyun.
- Thank you. - Gosh.
You're almost as tall as Seong Ju.
He's 174cm tall.
- I'm wearing shoe inserts. - Right.
- My shoe inserts are around 4cm. - It was good to hear you sing.
- I'll see you later then. - You're going home, right?
- No, I really do have a meeting. - Okay.
Bye, Dad. Oh, hello.
Okay. Bye, Dong Hyun.
- Dong Hyun! - You were great today.
You were so cool.
My dad usually calls me...
about 3 to 4 times a day at least.
I thought he would call me soon,
and he did call me.
I sent him a message that I was in a meeting...
and got ready to go on the stage.
I closed my eyes while I was singing.
I thought I should do nothing so they won't recognize me.
I sang like this. I didn't want them to recognize me.
People have to guess who the masked singers are...
only from hearing their voices. It's an unbiased show.
I want people to evaluate my music...
without any biases as well.
That's something that I always think...
and hope for.
My Song Is Worth 500 Points, 500 Won Tails...
was me, MC Gree.
I hope many of you will support me. Please stay healthy.
Let's go!
Mom, Give Me 500 Won.
500 Won Heads defeated Gree and moved on...
to Round Two.
The last match of Round One.
His addictive voice will hit your ears.
I Will Throw the Shuttlecock At You,
Badminton!
I will make your heart flutter with a strong smash.
(Oh, my heart.)
(Here goes my heart.)
(Receiving it)
(Swinging)
He knows how to play.
He has a nice snap.
- It's light. - Right.
Against him...
is the masked singer who never misses his target.
You shoot, and I Hoot, Archery.
(You shoot, and I Hoot, Archery.)
I'll shoot your hearts straight with my song.
(Flying straight to the audience's ears)
(Don't go too straight.)
(How cute.)
Shoot.
(His posture makes the audience excited.)
Shoot.
They look like real athletes.
(It's the final match before Round Two.)
(Which masked singer...)
(will capture the audience's hearts with a fair play...)
(and take a pleasant win?)
("Passionate Goodbye" by Toy)
It's a difficult song.
I love this song.
(The song starts with Badminton's mellow serve.)
He's definitely a singer.
(They can't turn a blind eye on his singing skills.)
(It's Archery's turn.)
(He has a nice voice.)
It sounds familiar.
(Who is he?)
(Me too.)
(Bye now.)
(They're really good.)
(Playing the transparent guitar)
(Archery's voice strikes the audience's hearts.)
(Amazed)
Look at how he's taking the rhythm with his legs.
(He can't stop taking the rhythm.)
(I'm doing great too.)
Their voices sound similar.
I know.
(Their similar voices make a perfect harmony.)
(They indeed represent the games which our country is strong at.)
(Their performance holds the passion in one's heart.)
(It's hot.)
(Be careful not to get burnt by the heat.)
It's so hot.
I really love voices like that.
They might be in the same group.
I know, right?
The last match of Round One has ended.
Jang Hyuk, you're the harmony expert.
Tell us what you think.
It was such a great performance.
Both of them showed amazing skills.
First off, when I heard Archery's voice,
I wondered if Choi Jae Hoon came out again.
- Choi Jae Hoon? - Yes.
But his voice sounded slightly like Lim Jae Wook too.
- Lim Jae Wook of Position. - Lim Jae Wook?
- I think the same. - I thought of Choi Jae Hoon too.
Lim Jae Wook is a little taller than that.
I see.
And Jae Hoon is a bit chubbier than that.
He's chubbier.
His appearance doesn't look like the two singers.
Ho Young, the hot man.
I was excited throughout the performance.
They have such a good physique and dark skin...
like real athletes.
So I didn't expect much about their performance.
- Right. - Same here.
But when they started singing,
they were amazing,
and their voices sounded similar...
as if one person was singing the song.
While the original song...
is a bit more pleasant...
and lyrical,
their performance was rougher.
I could sense the manliness.
That was quite different from the original song.
I enjoyed it very much.
The two singers are happy...
to hear Ho Young mention about manliness.
Really?
- Are they? - Right.
- They are. - Are they reacting...
passionately to the expression?
Both of them like it.
What do you think, Woon Do?
I want to scout them both.
- Really? - Because...
Badminton sings in such a cool way.
In a cool way?
He seems like he sings halfheartedly,
but he had something there with a trace of experience...
in his song.
You shouldn't just speak out the lyrics when you sing.
You have to put your philosophy and life...
within the song.
And that athletic outfit looks so good on him.
The outfit?
His shoulders are broad and stuff,
so I've thought he could be an athlete,
but he sings too well.
- He's a professional singer. - I see.
And about the voice of Archery,
most older women would fall for it...
when they hear his voice.
It'll draw a huge response from older women?
His husky voice has the power...
to comfort their sorrowful hearts.
It's desperate.
I won't be able to scout them due to the financial deficit...
in our company though.
(Laughing)
You want to scout them if you could.
We did an exit poll among the female panelists.
There are three of you.
They all voted for Archery.
Really?
(They voted for Archery.)
When Woon Do mentioned about...
the power in his voice,
- our eyes met. - He surely...
captured the hearts of us three.
See? I was right.
- Right. - The women are going crazy.
(He's going crazy too.)
I feel pity on Badminton.
I know.
It means he will be taken away most votes of the female audience.
None of the three voted for him.
He should've gotten at least a vote.
He was completely disregarded.
(He was completely disregarded.)
He's a great singer,
but Archery's voice is better in capturing...
women's hearts.
I did vote for Archery.
Really?
But it wasn't because he captured my heart.
What does it make us then?
You voted for Archery...
not because he captured your heart?
I did because I thought he was a better candidate...
to advance to the next round.
He made some gestures throughout the performance,
but they reminded of my dad.
Those gestures looked like my dad.
His gestures were like your dad?
Yes, they were very old.
What kind of gestures were they?
He made a gesture of crying like this.
He made old-fashioned gestures...
- many times. - In the end,
he reached out his hand like this too.
Right.
(Hold my hand, will you?)
That made me sure he'd be pretty aged.
You didn't like his gestures?
It was simpler.
- It was simple? - It was good.
Actually, there are a lot of women...
who don't like guys wearing knee-high socks.
They don't like knee-high socks?
- Knee-high socks. - Knee-high socks.
Is that right?
But it's part of his athletic outfit.
I loved his performance though.
(She still liked the performance.)
- It's meaningless. - It's not helping.
I'm sorry.
Anyway, the women's hearts have leaned toward Archery.
- Gu Ra? - I think...
I should check some of their specialties.
- Is that right? - Yes.
I have no clue about their identities. So please show us...
- plenty of specialties. - They will show you...
plenty of specialties.
Then I'll let you hear Badminton's real voice first.
He is going to imitate the singing styles of famous singers.
First, it's the singer with one of the sweetest voices, Jo Sung Mo.
(Imitating Jo Sung Mo)
Please let us hear Sung Mo's voice.
(He articulates every word as if he was short of breath.)
(He is good though.)
He sounded similar. He did.
The guy on the left is good too.
This time, it's the name mentioned by Archery.
He'll imitate Lim Jae Wook's voice.
Start mimicking the voice of Lim Jae Wook of Position.
(We spent this summertime together)
- This is it. - Gosh.
That sounded similar.
Wasn't that Kim Jong Seo?
I think he can imitate Kim Jong Seo too.
"Today". I think he will be able to do that part.
- Today - He has various voices.
We're developing his specialties.
(He starts without hesitation.)
(He pulls off the great specialty right away.)
- This is it. - He can do it.
(Oh, he's good.)
- You panelists are so sharp. - Good. Hey,
can you mimic Park Jin Young too?
- Park Jin Young? - I think he can pull it off.
If you marry me
Lim Jae Wook.
(He's like a specialty vending machine.)
Kim Jong Seo.
(His voices are different yet similar.)
Well...
This is enough. They get similar as time goes on.
That was good.
(He did it quite well on the spot.)
He did a good job.
- He knows how to use his voice. - He is good.
In my opinion,
he has been on many variety shows.
Honestly speaking,
- I think I know who he is. - You do?
But I have to think about this.
I didn't even recognize my son.
So I wonder if it is right for me to know who that guy is.
I got the hang of it, but I don't want to get it right.
- You feel ashamed as you didn't... - I really do.
- recognize your son. - What's the point of knowing him?
Please don't tell who he is to protect him.
- Do you think I got it right? - Yes, I do.
- I did, right? - Yes.
- You could surely know him. - Gosh.
I didn't even recognize my own son.
That guy is not that important in my life, but why can I recognize him?
- Who could it be? - That remark means something.
Let's protect him for now.
It's time to hear Archery's real voice.
He'll imitate Joo Hyun.
(He'll imitate Joo Hyun.)
Please start.
You punk, you'll be attacked by Taekkyeon.
(Chanting)
(Laughing)
He is funny.
Both of them have so good specialties.
I didn't have high expectations about their specialties though.
Aren't they all comedians?
It sounds like his voice, but it's surely mixed with Joo Hyun's too...
especially when he was chanting.
Now, he'll mimic the singer, Kim Kyung Ho.
Please start mimicking Kim Kyung Ho's voice.
Although I loved her
I can notice Kim Kyung Ho's voice.
Kim Jong Seo.
(Archery suddenly sings.)
No, wait.
You should mimic Kim Kyung Ho.
- Kim Jong Seo. - Happy moments of love
- Kim Kyung Ho. - Although I loved her
Both of them are mimicking very well.
They're really good.
Hold on, please. There is something I want to know.
Do you know who the other person is?
No. They don't know each other.
Their identities are completely undisclosed.
Can't you imitate people other than singers?
For example actors?
What's wrong with you?
You should wait until I let you do it.
Wait. You can't do it so abruptly.
You almost got caught.
I don't want to know who he is, but I think I do.
I think this is enough. If he does more,
I think he may be revealed.
You two guys make me so nervous.
- Well... - Don't do anything impromptu.
- I don't want to know who he is. - I beg you.
"I think I've heard that voice a lot."
- You must have. - When I said that,
he did this while looking at me.
(When Bon Sun seemed to recognize him soon,)
(he shushed her.)
(He did this while looking at me.)
- Who? - Maybe because you were loud.
Because I was loud?
- To make you quiet. - Maybe he was irritated.
(Laughing)
- Shall I give you a hint? - Yes.
A simple one, please.
Think of a tree.
What? A tree?
- "Think of a tree." - Yes.
(How is a tree related to Badminton?)
All right.
Now, let me announce the result of the last match of Round One.
Who will be the last person to move on to Round Two?
It will be revealed now.
(It will be revealed now.)
(Badminton's sweet voice...)
(flies alongside the wind.)
(Archery's sharp voice...)
(aims straight and shoots at people's hearts.)
Between the two masked singers, who will be the lucky one?
The winner is...
(The winner is...)
(Who is the winner?)
(Whose voice was more captivating?)
(I can't wait.)
Who won the match?
The last winner that will move on...
- to Round Two is... - The winner is...
- The winner is...
(You shoot, and I Hoot, Archery wins.)
Archery won.
(He hit the target of Round Two.)
(He successfully showed his charm.)
Badminton's low voice was good too.
The result was 60 to 39.
It was 60 to 39.
He'll move on to Round Two.
Please go back to your waiting room. Give him a big hand, please.
I'll do my best again in Round Two. Let's go.
He has charm of a tough guy.
He is considered to have a lot of experience on variety shows.
But because of the knee-high socks,
he failed to captivate women's hearts.
Who could he be?
Let's find out who he is while watching his solo performance.
Please give him a round of applause.
(He will be revealed with the solo performance.)
(He sings in a cool way.)
(He is related to a tree.)
(He is like a good voice imitation vending machine.)
(Who is Badminton with a good sense of humor?)
(The placid melody of a piano)
Isn't it "Come Back to Me Again"?
Is it "Come Back to Me Again"?
("Come Back to Me Again" by Byun Jin Sub)
I think he'll sing it very softly.
("Come Back to Me Again" by Byun Jin Sub)
(Amazed)
I've certainly heard that voice before.
(His familiar and comfortable voice...)
(fills the stage snugly.)
(His voice melts women's hearts.)
(You can just come back to me again)
(His emotions fill...)
(the empty spaces of one's lonely heart.)
(He doesn't make people hesitate.)
(His voice is reassuring.)
He is good.
(His desperate feelings catch people's ears.)
- Now, - Who is he?
- Badminton, - Who could it be?
- I like his high notes. - take off your mask...
and reveal your face, please.
(My goodness.)
He is...
A tree...
Who is it? Why?
What is it?
Reveal your face, please.
He is...
the all-around entertainer with a great sense of humor,
and the actor with 20 years of experience, Lim Hyung Jun.
(I can't believe it.)
(His identity makes them get the chills.)
(He was not a singer.)
I can't believe it.
He can sing that well?
A tree.
- Why? - His last name means a forest.
("Lim" means a forest.)
(Actor Lim Hyung Jun was singing so well...)
(that everyone believed he was a singer.)
He sings really well.
I have goosebumps.
(Behind his charismatic image,)
He is really good.
(he has warm and deep emotions.)
(Thanks to his 20 years of acting experience,)
(his emotion comes across richer.)
He sings well.
He's really good.
(His teary eyes...)
(make us get immersed in his performance.)
(Come to me.)
Thank you.
(He showed his unlimited charms with "Come Back to Me Again".)
(You are great.)
He's a professional singer.
He's so amazing.
I didn't doubt that he was a singer.
Badminton was an actor.
It's already been 20 years since he debuted. He is Lim Hyung Jun.
Please say hi to the viewers.
Hello. I am actor Lim Hyung Jun. It's nice to meet you.
Hello.
(He was the lead actor of a hit film "Marrying The Mafia II".)
(He acted well in the film "The Outlaws" too.)
(He's the actor who specializes in gangster roles.)
(He's a veteran actor who starred in many films.)
(He debuted with the musical, "Seoul Subway Line 1", in 1999.)
(He's been acting for 20 years now.)
(In dramas, he acts not only charismatic characters,)
(but fun characters too.)
(He's the scene stealer with a varied filmography.)
(But he rose as the icon of tears.)
(He's also got the unique talent as a variety show star.)
(Lim Hyung Jun is an actor with many talents.)
Gu Ra said we should think about trees.
- Was he right? - His name "Lim" means forest.
Gosh. He can't recognize his own son's voice.
Right.
I didn't really want to get it right.
The family name Lim can have different meanings.
But he surprised me by getting the forest part right.
- He got that it means forest. - That's the only thing I know.
Is that right?
- So there are different meanings. - Right.
He can impersonate Park Jin Young.
He's incredibly good at it.
Can't you show it to us?
We didn't make him do it because you might find out who he is.
- He... - I am
(I am leaving now)
(He suddenly impersonates Park Jin Young.)
- He's just like Jin Young. - Yes.
(He managed to produce half-sound-half-air voice.)
He is really good.
I think he impersonates Park Jin Young the best in Korea.
By the way, I was so sure that he was a singer.
- Right. - By the way, I heard...
you debuted as a singer first.
Yes. Actually in 1998,
I had a chance to debut with an album by The Root.
- "The Root"? - Yes, I was a guest vocal.
Is that right?
But I wasn't a good singer,
so we couldn't promote our band, and we had to disband the group.
Did the dream you had as a singer...
come true on this stage?
No. Actually, my dream was to become a composer.
- A composer? - Yes.
Listening to Young Seok, Jang Hyuk, and Hyun Chul's music,
I dreamt of becoming a great producer like them.
I wrote many songs. But,
I realized at one point...
that I had a habit of plagiarizing.
- You kept plagiarizing. - I would work hard on a song,
but people would say it sounds familiar.
When I compared them, they really did sound familiar.
So I realized I might be sued...
if I didn't stop writing songs.
So I gave up.
I've been feeling this about him.
Acting is what he's best known for.
But he's also a musician.
- Right. - He's a musician.
When I see his unchanged passion,
I envy and admire him.
- Right. - I'm excited for him.
With his singing skills as great as his acting skills,
Hyung Jun showcased his shining presence.
Please give him a round of applause.
Thank you.
(We are looking forward to seeing your work as a musician.)
I've been doing musicals for a long time.
I wasn't this nervous during the rehearsal.
But when I appeared on the stage, I became really nervous.
I was surprised by that.
I realized my heart still pounds when I do certain things.
I felt like I was taken back to the start of my career...
when I was preparing for my performances,
and it felt really good.
I will remember this excitement and heart-fluttering feeling...
and do good music. I hope I get a chance to do it.
I Will Throw the Shuttlecock At You, Badminton was Lim Hyung Jun.
Thank you.
(Thank you.)
Next week.
(The greatest contenders...)
(with burning ambition appear.)
(With exciting specialties...)
(and sexy dances, they will appeal their charms.)
(The masked queen should never put down her guard...)
(for they have monstrous singing skills.)
(I am really nervous.)
(The masked queen's performance will mesmerize everyone.)
(What will be the result of the confusing competition?)
(It will be revealed next week.)
