The mysterious music show, King of Mask Singer.
Previously on King of Mask Singer.
With his voice as deep as a cave, he beat his strong rivals...
and became the two-time winning King of Mask Singer.
He's a singer with an appealing voice.
My Name Is Ken the Eagle.
And today,
eight amazing vocalists...
have come to stop the masked king from winning another time.
Who will become the 92nd King of Mask Singer?
(King of Mask Singer)
This is the first match of Round One.
He will slide through the chimney to the next round.
I Can't Get Stuck, I Can't Get Stuck, Chimney.
(I Can't Get Stuck, I Can't Get Stuck, Chimney)
I will crawl to the throne!
(Let's go!)
(Hello, Chimney.)
He's too slim to get stuck.
(I can't get stuck, I can't get stuck)
Contending against him is...
this masked singer who sets our hearts on fire.
You Are My Firewood, Fireplace.
(You Are My Firewood, Fireplace)
With my passion, I will warm you up.
(Biting the wood)
(Please warm us up.)
He's biting the wood.
- From the start... - He's a comedian.
(He enters the stage in an unusual way.)
(The two paths in which Santa goes through)
(Will they excite the panelists just as much as Santa's gift does?)
(Strong and tall Chimney...)
(will compete against warm and cozy Fireplace.)
(What kind of performance will the two put on?)
(You can feel Christmas vibes from the start.)
(What?)
- Isn't it our song? - It's our song.
"Because It's Christmas".
("Because It's Christmas" by Sung Si Kyung, Park Hyo Shin,)
(Lee Seok Hoon, Seo In Guk, VIXX)
(It's amazing.)
(A gentle baritone voice starts the song.)
(It resonates pleasingly and comfortably.)
(It's lovely.)
(Fireplace continues the song with his beautiful voice.)
(His voice is as clean as white snow.)
(Their duet is sweet from the beginning.)
I love the harmony.
(Just like the streets during the Christmas season,)
(his voice is full of excitement.)
(His warm and cozy voice...)
(melts our hearts.)
(Merry Christmas)
(These two lovely men steal the hearts of women.)
(Like the fire in the fireplace,)
(they would like to make a passionate confession.)
(A sweet romance on Christmas)
(Rapping)
(Surprised)
(He raps cheerfully.)
(They pluck up courage and make a confession.)
(It's a harmony of two passionate men.)
(Chimney and Fireplace gave us the excitement of Christmas.)
(Thank you for the amazing performance.)
Merry Christmas!
I don't think they have the voice of idol singers.
(You're the best.)
This is the Christmas Special of King of Mask Singer.
I am your show host, Kim Seong Ju, who wants to be your Santa. Hello.
(Suho, Kim Ji Hye)
(Ravi, Ken)
(They dressed up nicely as it's the Christmas Special.)
The first match of Round One is now over.
How did you like it, Young Seok?
Did you feel the exciting vibe of Christmas from their voices?
I saw Fireplace walking in,
and he seemed to make very cheerful gestures.
- Already from his appearance? - Yes.
Anyone can tell he's a comedian.
His overly excited gestures are cute as well.
But when he starts singing,
he uses notes as firewood.
- He uses notes as firewood? - Yes.
He sings each note lively.
He's performance was very melodious.
It's not just a fireplace.
If you walk up to the fireplace and press a button,
the fireplace opens and...
there is a secret staircase behind it. It felt like that.
He has more than meets the eye. He has hidden musical talents.
Chimney's voice sounded like...
he hasn't experienced more than 20 Christmases.
He hasn't experienced more than 20 Christmases?
He has the voice of a teenager.
- So his vocal cords are fresh. - It's very fresh.
I can put it this way as it's Christmas.
Do you know the feeling of excitement before you open a gift?
He has that excitement in his voice.
I see.
"Because It's Christmas" was...
originally performed by VIXX as well.
I wonder what the original performers...
think of their performance.
They performed this song for the Christmas Special,
and it probably will bring some profit to us, so thank you.
- Thank you. - When did you think that far?
Actually, I thought...
Fireplace would show more energy on the stage,
but he seems to be more nervous than I thought.
He keeps putting his hand on his chest...
and keeps sighing.
He seems very nervous,
which makes me think he doesn't have much experience on stage.
He doesn't have much experience on stage.
He's nervous.
I think Chimney is more likely to be a professional singer.
Judging by their voices only,
Chimney sounded younger than Fireplace.
Fireplace's voice is...
husky, but not young.
He has an old and husky voice.
I actually think the other way around.
To me, Fireplace looks younger than Chimney.
Young people these days wear oversized clothes.
- It's called "over-fit". - They wear boxy clothes.
Through his oversized costume, I can see his slim figure.
Isn't this too oversized?
- People wear even bigger clothes. - They wear such big clothes?
- Yes. - I see.
To me, Chimney looks more like an idol singer.
- Really? - Yes.
Now that I look at it, he fastened only one button.
- That's the trend these days. - Is it a thing?
- Really? - It's the trend.
- He didn't fasten the next button. - He caught that.
You're right.
Now that I see it, Chimney didn't fasten any buttons.
Adults either fasten all the buttons or no button.
- That's what adults do. - That's what adults do?
(Really?)
We either fasten all the buttons or none of them.
- Exactly. - I see.
Did you just fasten a button? He quickly fastened a button.
He fastened a button.
I think Suho knows who they are.
- Does he? - Yes.
I think Fireplace is an idol singer,
given he's so playful.
He looks like he's experienced with variety shows.
And Chimney's voice sounded familiar to me.
One of the junior singers from my company...
Junior who?
NSync?
It's NCT, not NSync.
NSync?
Why would you bring up NSync?
What's wrong with him?
Who is the main vocalist of NCT?
Well...
There's Doyoung and another guy.
- Doyoung? - Doyoung and...
Hang on a second. I can't think of his name.
Do you want me to look it up on the internet?
NCT has a lot of members.
- They have 17 or 18 members. - NCT has a lot of members.
- I know him very well. - Doyoung.
I'm confusing him with someone else.
- Taeil. - Taeil.
Taeil. That's right. It's Taeil.
(Laughing)
So he seems like Taeil or Doyoung?
He is similar to Taeil.
- Doyoung. - Taeil.
- He's similar to Taeil. - Taeil?
The panelists have mixed opinions as well.
So you think he's one of the main vocalists of NCT.
Now, you're going to hear their real voices.
Let's hear Chimney's real voice first.
He's going to imitate women's voice.
First, he'll do an impression of Singer Park Ji Yoon.
Please let us hear it.
After letting you go
I regretted so much
Thank you.
He's good.
- He could be a member of NCT. - He's pretty good.
Is he Doyoung or Taeil?
Now, he's going to do an impression of the heroine of "Titanic",
Kate Winslet.
He'll imitate Kate Winslet calling Leonardo DiCaprio.
It'll be very short. Listen carefully.
Let us hear Kate Winslet's voice.
Jack.
Come back.
Did you hear that?
Please call Leonardo DiCaprio again, Kate Winslet.
Jack, come back.
Is he a member of NCT?
One thing is for sure. He's in his late 30s.
All of a sudden, he's in his late 30s?
- He's my age. - You said he was like a teenager.
- Because... - He can't be a teenager.
It's one of the jokes people of my age make.
I even did the impression of Kate Winslet myself...
at the comedian audition.
Let's see how Bong Sun does it. Bong Sun?
Bong Sun, please let us hear Kate Winslet's voice.
Come back.
(Laughing)
(She's as good as him.)
Those who watched "Titanic" should know this.
He's definitely older than me.
- Then he can't be NCT. - I think he's over 40.
- He's over 40? - He's over 40.
- He can be over 40. - Then he's not a member of NCT.
- Are you taking it back? - Please excuse my ignorance.
So NCT is now off the table.
He could be as old as Park Ji Heon from VOS.
NCT is off the table and now VOS is on the table.
Now let's see Fireplace's specialties.
He'll imitate Kim Tae Kyun's voice imitating of Ok Hee's voice.
Please let us hear it.
Sir, do you like eggs?
- That was not bad. - That was Ok Hee's voice.
Could you imitate Ok Hee's laughter as well?
Can you imitate Ok Hee's laughter?
Can you... Wait a second.
(Whispering)
- I see. - What did he say?
He asked me how he should to laugh.
Just laugh. There's no need to ask.
(Laughing)
(Hesitant)
- He really doesn't know it. - He doesn't know it.
It's possible that he knows Kim Tae Kyun,
- but he doesn't know Ok Hee. - You're right.
He's young.
It seems like he saw his fellow idol singer...
doing an impression of Ok Hee and just followed him.
It's like a copy of a copy. Do you know what I mean?
A copy of a copy can be...
very different from the original.
Really? He can do a couple of more voice imitations.
It's Inspector Gadget, the cartoon character.
Inspector Gadget. Let us hear it.
(A good start)
"Go, go, gadget arm!"
(That was pretty good.)
All right. "Go, go, gadget arm!"
Lastly,
- it's Seo Tai Ji's voice. - I think he'll be good at this.
It's his last voice imitation. Seo Tai Ji's voice. Go ahead.
(I've seen the end of my life)
(It frustrated me)
That's all.
I said he'd be an idol singer, but I take it back.
- What? - I take it back.
He just happens to be wearing an oversized suit.
I think he just forgot to button up.
- Do you think so? - Yes.
- He's not an idol singer? - No.
I haven't seen someone...
do such a lame impression of Seo Tai Ji in a long time.
Do you know what I think?
We had someone very young in the previous episode, right?
Yes, An Yu Jin.
Just like her,
I think he's someone very young.
- A teenager? - Yes.
So you think Fireplace is a teen, not Chimney?
He's probably 16 or 17 years old.
Someone who would still believe in Santa.
- That young? - He seems that much innocent.
All right, then.
Is he a young, teenage boy,
or a middle-aged man who just forgot to button up his jacket?
I will give you one more hint about who Fireplace is.
He will show us a powerful dance from a boy band.
That must be his real specialty.
He needs a folding fan for this boy band's dance.
It's "Shangri-La", isn't it?
Oh, how did you know?
He needs a fan, so it has to be "Shangri-La".
It's the dance for "Shangri-La" by VIXX, right?
- That's right. - Yes.
Are they talking about Do Won Kyung, the rocker?
(He suddenly mentioned Do Won Kyung, the rock musician.)
No, he'll dance to "Shangri-La" by VIXX.
That's the title of the song?
Not the singer?
(Puzzled)
He's very confused right now.
She has nothing to do with a folding fan.
The members of VIXX, please watch closely.
Music, please!
(The music starts.)
("Shangri-La" by VIXX is a song that became a big hit...)
(and has a sexy fan dance and a graceful oriental mood.)
(Unfolding the fan)
(He powerfully unfolds the fan.)
Please watch his footwork carefully.
He unfolded the fan.
(It's like he's the 7th member of VIXX.)
He's dancing well in his oversized suit.
(He's a good dancer.)
That's all.
(Fireplace is so sexy.)
All right. I think...
everyone is surprised that you're such a good dancer.
I think he's someone young...
who hasn't been dancing for a long time,
but who does know how to dance.
- A new singer? - Possibly.
Ravi, so you think he's probably an idol singer?
- Yes. - Really?
- Let's see VIXX's dance as well. - We've got to see it.
- Do we have more fans? - Let's see it.
- Do we have more fans? - Yes.
Please come over to the stage. We'll get the fans.
(Excited)
Let's see how different the original dance is.
(When the masked singers danced with the original singers,)
(many of them were put to shame.)
All right. He will now dance with the members of VIXX.
Music, please!
(He's off to a good start.)
That's good.
(It looks just like the original dance.)
(That's amazing.)
(They begin the fan dancing.)
(What?)
(Ken's unexpected mistake)
All right. He's doing great.
Fireplace is doing great.
(Pay attention to his feet.)
(Fancy footwork)
(Surprised)
(Gosh, guys.)
(Fireplace danced to "Shangri-La" without embarrassing himself.)
That's it.
(Cheering)
Thank you, guys.
He looks like an idol singer that way.
- You could compare their dance. - He must be an idol singer.
I'm sure you could observe his dance very closely.
As we all know, wearing a big mask like that...
makes it difficult for you to move around.
I'm sure he's an idol singer now.
Why do you keep changing your mind?
His specialties confused me.
All right. I think you've had enough time to guess who they are.
I will now announce the result of this match.
Between these two heartthrobs with great charms,
who do the audiences want to see again...
in the next match?
Let's find out now!
(Fireplace has a deep and husky voice.)
(Chimney has an honest and pure voice.)
Between Fireplace and Chimney,
who is the winner of this match?
The winner is...
- The winner is... - The winner is...
(Which of them will set the stage on fire once again?)
(Bring it on!)
The winner chosen by the audiences is...
The winner is...
Chimney!
(Chimney wins.)
The winner is Chimney.
(Smoke will rise from Chimney once again in Round Two.)
(Nice)
That was a really close match.
Chimney defeated Fireplace...
with a score of 57 to 42.
It was a close match.
Please go back to your waiting room.
Let's give him a big hand!
(Fireplace's identity will be revealed.)
Chimney moved on to Round Two.
I will stay focused and sing my heart out in Round Two as well.
Let's go!
Is he an idol singer?
Or someone a little older than that?
The way he buttoned his jacket and his sense of humor confused people.
Let's now find out who Fireplace is.
We'll reveal his identity with a solo performance he prepared.
Please give him a big round of applause!
(His identity will be revealed.)
(Who is Fireplace whose identity is a complete mystery?)
("Gradually" by Brown Eyes)
Oh, this song is...
Oh, my.
(His voice sounds softer this time.)
(He sings with his mesmerizing husky voice.)
- He has an uncanny singing style. - Yes, he's very good.
(Fireplace's voice captures your heart in a strange way.)
He's really charming.
Now, Fireplace, please take off your mask...
and reveal your face.
(Shocked)
He is...
- Oh, my. - Why are they screaming?
He must be young.
See? I knew he'd be young.
Fireplace, please take off your mask...
and reveal your face.
He is...
the main vocalist of THE BOYZ, the monstrous new idol group,
Sangyeon!
(He was a new idol singer!)
(Surprised)
Oh, THE BOYZ.
I didn't know.
(He brings delight to people's eyes and ears.)
(This is insane.)
(His voice sounds really deep and emotional for a new singer.)
Gosh, he's amazing.
(He has a great voice.)
(Indeed)
(You can feel his yearning from his voice.)
(His sincere voice touches your heart.)
His voice perfectly suits this song.
(The deep emotions in "Gradually" by Fireplace touched their hearts.)
(The sweetness is piled warmly in the studio.)
How sweet.
Good job.
Without the mask, his proportions came alive.
(He agrees.)
Please say hello to the viewers.
Hello, I'm Sangyeon of THE BOYZ.
(He's the leader of the idol group, THE BOYZ, who debuted in 2017.)
(This super rookie group received 5 Rookie Awards.)
(With a sweet voice like candy,)
(Sangyeon shows off his charisma on stage.)
(He's taken over the commercial industry with his handsome looks.)
(He owns a business license although he's only 23.)
(He's beyond your imagination.)
(People can't help but fall for his charms.)
(It's Sangyeon of THE BOYZ.)
You're the first one to appear on the show among the 12 members.
How was it to perform alone on stage?
I took a calming tonic beforehand...
because it was my first time performing alone on stage.
I feel bad that I didn't get to show as much as I practiced.
I'm still so nervous.
The panelists are indeed so sharp.
It was hard to predict your age...
which made the panelists confused.
You're 23 years old this year.
They also wondered why you were in a jacket that's too big for you.
It caused a controversy.
Did you pick this jacket on purpose?
I actually got a jacket...
similar to this one,
but the Christmas prop fell off of it.
I didn't have enough time, so I had no choice...
but to get another one for my outfit.
I personally thought it was cool.
- I see. - But...
I bet he was so nervous.
What I missed from his performance earlier...
is the fact that he's a main vocalist.
It would've been even more nervous for him...
because he's here to represent his group.
I was surprised as soon as I heard the first measure.
It was good to see his amazing and new charms.
I'll be rooting for him.
- Thank you. - Give him a lot of support.
He showed his passion as a rookie and his mature emotions.
Please give Sangyeon of THE BOYZ a big hand.
Thank you.
(We're rooting for Sangyeon, the mellow vocalist.)
As the result of Round One,
I Can't Get Stuck, I Can't Get Stuck, Chimney...
beat Sangyeon of THE BOYZ and advanced to Round Two.
It's the second match of Round One.
"I'll give you a sweet experience."
I Said I Love You, Candy Guy.
(I Said I Love You, Candy Guy)
Do you want to try listening to my sweet singing voice?
(Dancing)
(Let's have fun together.)
He's cheeky.
Look at his shoes. They don't seem usual.
They light up.
Competing against him is...
"You won't vote for me?"
Do You Have Ginger or No, Gingerbread Man.
(Do You Have Ginger or No, Gingerbread Man)
Go ahead and fall for my charms.
(Do you want a taste of ginger?)
(He's cute.)
"Do You Have Ginger or No?"
He's cute.
I think he'll be a great singer.
(It's a battle that'll color Christmas with sweetness.)
(Who will capture the audience's palate?)
(I like sweets.)
(Will it be the colorful, sweet Candy Guy?)
(Or will it be the sweet and bitter Gingerbread Man?)
("White Winter" by Mr. 2)
- It's "White Winter". - It's "White Winter".
- By Mr. 2. - Mr. 2.
(Gingerbread Man starts off with his husky voice.)
That's stable.
(Candy Man's voice is warm and sweet.)
(It sounds familiar.)
(White snowy winter)
(Their performance brings back old memories.)
(Think about me.)
(They quickly went back to the winter in 1993.)
His voice sounds familiar.
I think both of them are from an older generation.
(On top of the cheerful melody,)
(Gingerbread Man's sweet but bitter sentiments pile up.)
(His charming voice keeps coming to the audience's mind.)
(Reminiscing those unforgettable days,)
(the two men express their longing heart.)
(There, take this snow.)
(Their voices harmonize in a sweet way.)
(Come back to me now)
(A song that comes back every winter, "White Winter")
(Let's be together this winter.)
(How nice.)
Amazing.
(It's the perfect song for winter.)
Both of them are good.
The second match of Round One has ended.
Tell us if their voices get along well with this winter season, Kai.
In case of Gingerbread Man, I noticed his unique dance move.
He moved his heels up and down throughout the performance,
and that looked quite unique.
(His unique way of following the rhythm)
That was very impressive.
I'm sure he's a professional singer.
Among professional singers,
he's one with a distinctive color.
Most singers with a husky voice...
hold deep sorrow in their voice,
but not this person.
He's got a cheerful mood like a clown.
In case of Candy Guy,
I'm sure he'll be having a drink somewhere...
by the time this airs.
He'll be having a drink?
Do you think he's fond of drinking?
I think so.
His throat is filled with...
an adequate amount of alcohol.
Even now?
He has a voice...
that can comfort people's hearts.
(His voice is comforting.)
It makes me want to have a drink with him.
That's what I think about his voice and sentiments.
Candy Guy kept on communicating with the audience...
ever since he entered the studio.
He looked at the audience and sent them hand gestures.
I think he's done a lot of event performances before.
He's used to event performances.
- A singer. - Yes, a singer.
- A professional singer? - Yes.
(Is Candy Guy experienced with event performances?)
A lot of masked singers...
act cheeky and cheerfully...
with the intention to show a different side of themselves...
since they have a mask on.
But this person...
seems like he's naturally cheeky.
I can tell he enjoys being on stage...
and likes to communicate with the audience.
Do you think he's playful?
Yes.
Yoon Sang, what do you think?
Both of them looked very stable in the beginning,
so I thought it was neck and neck.
From the chorus part,
Gingerbread Man started to show off his charms.
And his voice stood out in the performance.
He's got a distinctive voice too.
I think he's a singer with at least 10 years of experience.
Maybe he's either a solo singer or the vocalist of a band.
They chose to sing, "White Winter",
so they were supposed to make it sound cheerful and light...
as if they were walking on snow.
But it wasn't the case for this man.
I realized how heavy this song could be...
by listening to the song through his voice.
If he sings a song...
that's perfect for his voice,
he'll make me fall for him even deeper.
I'm getting a little scared.
Yoon Sang, Hyun Chul, Young Seok,
Yoon Seok, and I...
should know...
who these singers are.
I think Hyun Chul knows who Gingerbread Man is.
- He does? - Yes.
But he isn't saying anything.
- He isn't. - To protect his identity?
I'm sure we know these singers.
Right, Yoon Seok?
I'm a huge fan of him.
- He knows. - The one on the left?
Sorry. I don't know who Candy Guy is.
Are you a huge fan of Gingerbread Man?
I love him.
Maybe he's a rocker.
Some of you are more familiar with Gingerbread Man...
than Candy Guy.
Suho.
Is there a member of NCT here?
I'm pretty sure they aren't my juniors.
Rather, I'm certain that they are both my seniors.
- They are your seniors. - Yes.
Candy Guy didn't focus on techniques,
but instead he sang as if he was talking.
He sang comfortably.
That's why I think he may not be a singer.
- He may not be a singer. - That's right.
- I see. - I also think...
he is an actor or a comedian who can vocalize.
So you don't think he is a singer?
- In a mischievous way... - I know who he is!
I know who he is!
- I know who he is! - Who is he?
Isn't he Kim Min Kyo?
- He has a similar build. - Kim Min Kyo.
- Kim Min Kyo, an actor. - Doesn't he seem like Kim Min Kyo?
You could be right.
He seems like Kim Min Kyo.
All right. Let's hear their real voices.
See if Candy Guy's real voice is similar to Kim Min Kyo's.
He prepared to do a voice impression of three characters.
Santa Claus, Gollum,
and Lee Duk Hwa will star...
in this conversation.
Let's hear the conversation.
Merry Christmas!
I, Santa Claus, will distribute presents.
Gollum! Gollum!
My precious.
My goodness, take one at a time.
Gollum! Gollum! Give me.
Stop it.
Let's end it here.
I got it.
- Let's end it here. - I got it.
I got it. I know who he is.
I got it. He is someone I definitely know.
- Someone you definitely know? - Yes.
He is someone I know.
- I got you. - He isn't Kim Min Kyo.
- He isn't Kim Min Kyo. - He isn't Kim Min Kyo.
If I may give you some information, Candy Guy is very old.
- Is he very old? - He is older than me.
- Really? - Is he older than you?
- He is older than me. - Really?
He knows one of the panelists.
I asked that panelist about Candy Guy.
Candy Guy said they are close,
but I don't think that panelist would say agree.
(Gu Ra is making assumptions.)
Are you saying a panelist who should recognize him...
- hasn't recognized him? - That's right.
This time, Gingerbread Man will show his specialty.
Using a part of his body,
he will create beats.
Are you ready?
All right. Let's hear it.
What is he doing?
(This is...)
(A group of horses suddenly appears.)
That was popular back in our time.
(Stomping and clapping)
It's Queen. Nice.
(He goes over the aching parts of his body.)
Let's end it here.
Good job. Good job.
While he did okay,
the specialty itself was a bit old.
Yoon Seok said he loves Gingerbread Man.
The man I know wouldn't do something like that.
- I see. - Yes.
Perhaps it was only an unpopular opinion.
The person whom I suspect him to be...
is in his 20s or 30s.
What he showed us is something people in their 40s and 50s liked.
- Is that so? All right. - Yes.
I will announce the result of the second match of Round One.
Candy Guy is colorful and sweet...
while Gingerbread Man is bitter and nutty.
Between the two masked singers,
I'll now reveal the winner of this match.
(Candy Guy's voice was like a clear sound of a bell.)
(Gingerbread Man showed tenderness inside roughness.)
(Two men created a winter harmony.)
Between Candy Guy and Gingerbread Man,
who will be the one...
to move on to Round Two?
- The winner is... - The winner is...
The winner is...
(This winter, which sweet snack captivated...)
(the audience's hearts?)
(I want some snacks, too.)
- The winner is... - The winner is...
Who is the winner?
(Gingerbread Man won.)
Gingerbread Man won.
Yes!
Gingerbread Man.
(We want more of Gingerbread Man.)
Gingerbread Man. Gingerbread Man.
(Gosh, Candy Guy.)
Gingerbread Man won.
With a score of 64 to 35, Gingerbread Man won.
A score of 64 to 35.
He moves on to Round Two with overwhelming support.
Please go back to your waiting room. Please give him a round of applause.
(Candy Guy's identity, which Gu Ra knows, will be revealed soon.)
Gingerbread Man moves on to Round Two.
(Candy Guy's identity Gu Ra knows will be revealed soon.)
Gingerbread Man has a very unique voice.
I will put myself at ease and show my everything.
Yes!
Who is this masked singer...
with a voice that has a hint of alcohol?
We will reveal his identity with a solo performance.
Will he be the one Gu Ra thinks?
Give him a round of applause.
(Candy Guy's solo performance starts now.)
(The panelists made many guesses regarding Candy Guy.)
(This song starts with a saxophone accompaniment.)
(People in their 30s know, but people in their 20s don't know.)
It makes me want to drink.
("I Loved You" by Kim Hyun Sik)
He is your age.
- Is he my age? - Yes.
(Is Candy Guy Sang's age?)
(Candy Guy has a clean taste.)
(I loved you.)
(I didn't know he was so good.)
(Candy Guy was hiding his serious side.)
He practiced a lot.
Now, Candy Guy, please take off your mask and reveal your identity.
(Oh, my.)
He is...
Who is he?
Please.
(Am I right?)
Reveal your identity.
He is...
a man who both acts and stars in variety shows.
He is an actor with 34 years of experiences, Lee Kwang Gi.
(Lee Kwang Gi?)
That's right.
I knew it was him.
(Proud)
(Lee Kwang Gi has been rediscovered.)
(We now know who Candy Guy is.)
He knows about life.
I got goosebumps and chills.
(He shows his sincerity on the stage.)
(Kwang Gi gave a clean performance of "I Loved You".)
(Bravo)
My goodness.
He is so good.
What a merry Christmas!
Be happy, Kwang Gi.
Please say hello to the viewers.
Hi, viewers of King of Mask Singer. It's nice to meet you.
(He is a veteran actor with 34 years of experience.)
(His intense performance in "Taejo of Goryeo"...)
(earned him the Rookie Award 15 years after he debuted.)
(He played a ghost in "Hometown Legends".)
(He used his acting experiences in variety shows...)
(and made his presence known.)
(He even released an album as a trot singer...)
(and debuted in a play.)
(He even held an exhibition as a photographer.)
(Lee Kwang Gi is a talented icon of passion.)
When he showed his specialty,
I saw a glimpse of his most famous work,
"I want my leg back."
- Did you? - That's how I knew it was him.
I guess it sounded like "I want my leg back".
- It did. - You couldn't hide that voice.
Actually he likes to sing.
I heard he used to...
- make music with Yoon Sang... - Do they know each other?
in high school. So I said to Yoon Sang one day,
"Kwang Gi says he misses you."
And he said, "Forget it."
He rarely says things like that.
I'm actually here to prove the truth.
Kwang Gi and Yoon Sang are friends.
We are old friends.
- Really? - We met when we were 20.
Did you?
Did you two work together?
We lived in the same neighborhood.
Back then, I was a big fan of Yoon Sang.
Jung Hoon wanted to work with me on a joint album,
so I suggested that we work with...
Yoon Sang and form a group.
I thought we would be like Duran Duran of Korea.
That's just what we talked about.
Did you recommend Yoon Sang to other people back then?
- Let me explain. - Okay.
I had no idea...
that he had such a dream.
We just talked about it.
He doesn't seem to be in the same position.
We just have different opinions.
He says something different.
You could release an album,
but it didn't work out back then.
Then you finally released your album in 2009.
Yes, I did. It was a single.
- The title is "Let's Smile". - It's "Let's Smile".
You even made a music video for the song.
It featured Park Soo Hong, Kim Yong Man,
Lee Jong Won, and many others.
It featured a lot of celebrities.
(A lot of celebrities appeared in the music video.)
I see.
Even Dong Hyun appeared in that music video back then.
- He did? - Wait. Can you make it beautiful?
- No, that's not it. - Just stop there.
In return, Kwang Gi...
Let's stop there.
Did you not get him something good?
What's wrong?
He got us...
dried laver worth about 20 dollars.
- He didn't pay you? - No.
We just got dried laver worth about 20 dollars,
but it was too salty when we ate it.
(It was too salty.)
But I was okay with it...
because we are close friends.
Are you going to say that forever?
That's enough.
I'm doing it for the last time today.
Don't ever talk about it again.
This is all I can say.
Young Seok, what did you think of his solo performance?
Do you think he has the quality that a singer should have?
I think he has good qualities.
I could see his long-held passion for music...
and his experience and knowledge while he sang.
I hope you will work harder...
and make Yoon Sang regret that he didn't work with you.
- Thank you. - All right.
If Yoon Sang writes a song for you, will you accept it?
Sure. I'll be happy to.
He will be waiting.
With his 34 years of experience,
he showed off his impressive singing skills today.
Please give the all-around actor, Lee Kwang Gi...
- a round of applause. - Thank you.
(We look forward to your future endeavors.)
(You're the best, Lee Kwang Gi!)
Have you been well?
Yes.
I made a mistake.
- No, you did a good job. - I was so nervous.
I voted for you.
- Seriously? - Yes.
I thought you were a singer.
- You're lying. - I'm serious.
Were you nervous?
- I was very nervous. - I know.
You can sing better than that.
- Are you going to eat? - No.
Do you want to eat with us?
(Stop it.)
It was fun to see the expressions...
on the panelist's faces.
Your son might recognize you because of your shoes.
Right, the shoes.
My son has the same shoes.
It's a father-son item.
He might recognize me.
He'll be sad that I lost.
I'm worried that he might cry.
Joon Seo, health is more important than studying.
Stay healthy, Joon Seo!
Merry Christmas!
Do You Have Ginger or No,
Gingerbread Man beat Lee Kang Gi...
and moved on to Round Two.
This is the third match of Round One.
A haughty ice princess.
Is This Kim Yuna's Country?
Figure Queen.
(Is This Kim Yuna's Country, Figure Queen)
The queen of the ice will become the queen of the stage.
(Is she holding a guitar?)
(It's nice to meet you.)
Why is she holding a guitar?
(The figure queen and a guitar?)
- Why is she holding a guitar? - A guitar?
Is she playing the guitar while singing?
Her opponent is...
someone to jump to Round Two.
You Ski,
Ski Jump.
(You Ski, Ski Jump)
I will jump over everything.
(Is he holding a guitar too?)
(We are so excited.)
He has a guitar too.
They both have guitars.
I'm so curious.
- My gosh. - They are playing the guitar.
- This is unprecedented. - What is going on?
This is my first time to see something like this on this show.
(A special gift for a happy Christmas)
(They are more excited than ever.)
(They all are ready to have fun.)
(Will it be like a gala show for the beautiful figure queen?)
(Or will it be as thrilling as a ski jump?)
(What is this? It's so nice.)
(A beautiful guitar melody by Figure Queen)
(Ski Jump's solo continues.)
They are the first ones to do this on this show.
(They fall for her voice again.)
(Figure Queen's lovely and clear voice)
(Who is he?)
(Ski Jump continues to sing with his comfortable voice.)
Gosh, it does feel like Christmas.
This is so nice. Merry Christmas.
Merry Christmas.
(Pretending to play a guitar)
(Last Christmas I gave you my heart)
(But the very next day you gave it away)
(This year to save me from tears)
(I will give it to someone special)
(The music accompaniment is as sweet as Christmas,)
(and the lyrics contain the emotions of a heartbroken person.)
(The pleasant acoustic melody hides the sadness.)
(The two singers expressed the cute yet sad love confession...)
(of last Christmas.)
Happy Christmas!
- It's really nice. - An angel has come.
Merry Christmas!
Even if they don't sing loudly,
our hearts throb.
The third match of Round One, the duet song competition ended.
For the Christmas special,
for the first time in King of Mask Singer history,
the singers sang a duet...
while playing guitars.
- Hyun Chul. - Yes.
It was King of Mask Singers' first ever guitar performance.
First of all, Figure Queen's voice...
was clear and pure.
But her character and her message...
were very clearly expressed with it.
Each note she sang...
touched my heart.
I want to ask her...
to work with me. She's got such a lovely voice.
Hyun Chul proposed that they work together.
I think Ski Jump...
used to play an electric guitar.
That's what I think.
In the last part,
Figure Queen played the chords.
But Ski Jump played the low notes.
Seeing that, I thought...
perhaps he is someone who usually plays...
an electronic guitar with an amplifier.
I love this kind of performance.
It's a dish we never got to see...
on King of Mask Singer menu.
Right. Right.
I want to taste a dish like this more often.
Personally, I was really happy and relieved...
that the first female vocalist to perform...
on this episode has such a beautiful voice.
I was relieved and happy.
Right. Right.
Everyone describes a voice like that as being "milky".
It's like milk, but it is low-fat milk.
Not full-fat but low-fat.
It's so light.
A figure skater is scored based on technical execution and artistry.
- Right. - She showed...
the artistry of her voice.
She didn't show all her techniques yet.
It feels like she just went around the skating rink.
And yet it was still beautiful.
- So she only showed the artistry. - Right.
Hyun Chul said he wants to work with her.
You shouldn't say such a thing. Are you the only one to think that?
(My gosh.)
"Are you the only one who thinks that way?"
Who wouldn't hear that voice...
and wish to work with her?
The person who doesn't is strange.
Yoon Sang didn't say such a thing.
No. No. We all sing,
but we are more focused on writing songs.
As composers,
we are happy to hear her voice.
Why don't the three of us write a song together?
- I'm in. - I'm in.
- They are going crazy. - We will think about it.
Can I request to work with her too?
I want to sing...
a duet with her one day.
So many people want to work with you.
He's such a strong competitor.
(So many artists are trying to win her heart.)
He wants to sing a duet with her.
- By the way, - Ski Jump.
When Ski Jump was...
- playing the guitar in the intro, - Yes.
he really wanted to go solo.
He intentionally showcased a lot of difficult techniques.
Seeing his style of singing, I realized he is a songwriter.
Is he a composer?
He usually plays guitar,
but he must play the piano well too.
There is a big chance...
that he is a songwriter.
Gu Ra.
I know him very well.
- Yes, I do know him well. - Ski Jump?
- Yes. - You know Ski Jump well.
He gained a lot of weight.
- Did he gain weight? - Yes.
He gained a bit of weight.
- Was he thinner before? - Yes.
He was as slim as Yoon Seok.
- Was he that slim? - Yes. He was very slim.
When I heard his voice, I knew.
It's a piece of cake to figure out who he is.
It is really a piece of cake.
It's a very easy guess.
(Is he the person Gu Ra suspects to be?)
We are getting varied opinions.
I will let you hear the real voice...
of Ski Jump.
He will impersonate a pigeon.
He will do an impersonation of a pigeon.
Please start.
(Pigeon sound)
(Flapping wings)
(What is that?)
(Laughing)
I feel so embarrassed.
(His specialty makes the audience feel embarrassed.)
He put the mic between his thighs.
Can't you be a little wilder?
- The pigeon is... - Be wilder.
- running away... - Be wild.
from people.
(Flapping)
(He loves it.)
(It's so funny.)
It's our first time to see a specialty like this.
This time, he will impersonate a rooster.
- A rooster? - A rooster.
(Rooster sound)
(Cock-a-doodle-doo)
(Here comes the rooster!)
(All the chickens will gather.)
(That's crazy.)
That's a hit. It's a hit.
The rooster is completely different from the pigeon.
- Gu Ra is perplexed. - Was he...
Was he someone with that much energy?
Gu Ra is perplexed.
He must've raised roosters at home.
- Is it his rooster? - He must've raised roosters.
I want you...
to verify my opinion.
I am unsure now.
I thought he might be Cho Jung Chi.
Cho Jung Chi.
(No way.)
Is he not Jung Chi?
- They are not liking it. - But...
But his voice...
We heard his voice.
He sounded a bit like Jung Chi.
- Gu Ra is unsure now. - Is he not Jung Chi?
He isn't one to do something...
- passionately like that. - I know.
But I thought he changed after having a child.
No. No.
By the way, he was really good at impersonating rooster.
- Right? - Yes.
I also studied the sound of chickens.
- Did you? - Should we hear it?
Shall we hear it?
Ken will give it a try. Please impersonate a rooster.
I will impersonate a hen first.
(Hen sound)
This is a rooster.
(Rooster sound)
- I used to raise chickens. - Right?
See? People who used to raise chickens can do this.
People who have raised chickens can do this.
- He used to raise chickens. - My grandmother...
It wasn't typical.
(It turned into a bird party.)
Lastly, he will impersonate Mr. Baek Jong Won.
(He will do an impersonation of Baek Jong Won.)
This has never been done on King of Mask Singer.
Please impersonate Mr. Baek.
This is not good, and it's expensive.
This can't go on air.
That's it.
(Laughing)
He's good.
They...
sang an English pop song.
We are suspecting this.
We suspect that she is a foreigner.
Her English pronunciation was good.
Her nickname says,
"Is This Kim Yuna's Country".
(It's a question a foreigner would ask.)
She asked that.
Right.
- Maybe she's a Korean-American? - You thought that far?
You need to tell us something.
Okay. Okay.
Figure Queen's specialty is...
whistling any tunes.
It could be any song.
Please start whistling.
(Whistling)
(What's this song?)
(It's EXO's "Overdose".)
(The whistling is addicting.)
I am sorry.
(I am sorry?)
You can't talk.
"I am sorry."
She's not a foreigner.
One of the Korean expressions...
foreigners learn first is "I am sorry."
(Foreigners learn to say "I am sorry" first.)
"Hurry" and "I am sorry".
- They learn those two things first. - "I am sorry."
She said it right away.
You don't have to be so sorry.
Great. Next is another one of Ski Jump's specialty.
Ski Jump will play handbells using his whole body.
Usually, you hold them with your hands, hence the name "handbell".
He put the handbells on his knees.
He put two on his legs.
Are you all ready?
All right.
He says his entire body is an instrument.
Ski Jump, please start.
(Mary had)
(Little lamb)
(He looks a bit clumsy.)
(Its fleece)
(Was as white)
(As snow)
(It's funny.)
(That was as original as his pigeon impersonation.)
(He played "Marry Had a Little Lamb" with hand, no, leg bells.)
He played a children's song. Now he will play a K-pop song.
(Playing a song)
It's "Love Scenario".
(It must be iKON's "Love Scenario".)
(That's enough)
(I loved)
(You)
(He's really funny.)
He does that dance whenever he's in bad position.
He does that whenever he's in bad position.
It felt like he hurriedly ended it.
He's got a special talent in playing instruments.
- Please give it up for her. - I know why he put the bells there.
(Is it clear that he's a songwriter?)
(Thank you for the Christmas gift.)
Now, we will announce...
the result of the third match of Round One.
Between Figure Queen and Ski Jump,
who is the winner to move on to Round Two?
Let's find it out right now!
(Like a campfire that warms up your cold body,)
(Figure Queen has a warm and cozy voice.)
(Like the first snow in the sky,)
(Ski Jump has a pure and sincere voice.)
Between Figure Queen and Ski Jump,
who is the winner of the match?
- The winner is... - The winner is...
(The winner is...)
(Whose voice will warm up...)
(the end of the year?)
Is it Figure Queen or Ski Jump?
- The winner is... - The winner is...
The winner is...
The winner is Figure Queen.
Oh, yes!
(King of Mask Singer, Round One, Figure Queen wins)
(It was a perfect performance.)
(Figure Queen never lets us down.)
(I feel bad about Ski Jump's defeat.)
The score was 73 to 26.
73 to 26.
You may now go to the waiting room. Please give her a round of applause.
(Ski Jump's identity will be revealed soon.)
Now we can see Figure Queen on Round Two as well.
I'm going to do my best on Round Two as well. Let's go!
Who is this man?
Let's find it out through his solo performance.
Please give it up for him.
(He'll reveal his identity through his solo performance.)
I can tell from his singing style that...
(Ski Jump is assumed to be a composer. Who is he?)
("Mackerel" by Lucid Fall)
Maybe he's an indie musician.
He could be a singer-songwriter.
("Mackerel" by Lucid Fall)
(He's good.)
(Is he a member of Peppertones?)
I think so.
(Maybe he's Cho Jung Chi.)
(Come on.)
(It's so delicious.)
(His voice doesn't sound flashy, but it captivates our ears.)
I think I'm right.
He was on this show recently.
(Gu Ra, you're wrong.)
(He quietly offers a word of comfort.)
(He conveys the warmth of his heart through the song.)
He's Cho Jung Chi.
(He's not.)
Now,
Ski Jump, take off your mask...
(Screaming)
He is...
Who is it?
Is he an indie singer?
(Who are you?)
(Jung Chi, it's you, isn't it?)
(No, he can't be him.)
He is...
He's a skilled singer-songwriter...
who has warm and delicate emotions.
He's Cho Jung Chi!
It's Cho Jung Chi!
- Oh, my goodness. - Jung Chi!
Jung Chi!
(It was actually Cho Jung Chi.)
I was the only one who recognized him.
Jung Chi, I was the only one who recognized you.
(We didn't recognize him.)
(Everyone neglected his opinion that Ski Jump was Cho Jung Chi.)
(When you try to assume who I am, please look into my eyes.)
I was fooled by my prejudice.
I've still got it.
(Shy)
(With a pleasant voice to listen to,)
(he sings a song of a warm story.)
(You've worked hard today)
(It warms our hearts.)
(Cho Jung Chi's "Mackerel" was like a dear friend's comfort.)
(Jung Chi had such a voice?)
Good job, Jung Chi.
I was like, "He can't be."
(I hear you.)
I was right.
Please say hi to the viewers.
Hello, I'm a guitarist who has recently become a father.
My name is Cho Jung Chi. Nice to meet you.
(He's a genius guitarist every musician loves.)
(He's a great singer-songwriter recognized for...)
(his own unique music style.)
(In 2012, a trio, Shinchireem, was formed.)
(Their quality music would comfort our ears.)
(In variety shows, he entertained many people...)
(with his irresistible charms.)
(He's an all-rounder who can even act.)
(Now, he's enjoying his happy marriage.)
(He's one of the most caring daughter's daddy.)
(Cho Jung Chi is an all-around musician.)
You showed us your new side today.
I thought earlier...
that Jung Chi would not try so hard...
to make a chicken sound.
He's changed a lot since he had a kid.
I didn't know I could make such a sound either.
I was surprised at myself while doing it.
You sounded just like a chicken.
Do you think you have changed a lot...
after you had the baby?
I have changed a lot.
I used to be pessimistic, but I've become more optimistic.
I can even make a chicken sound now.
Tell me about it.
You keep changing.
She started to speak and run.
- I see. - Oh, my.
(She's adorable.)
(My daughter is the best.)
Do you think she knows that her parents are musicians?
Whenever she hears someone singing,
she asks us if it's her mom.
Whenever my wife goes out,
she asks me if she went to go sing.
She's really cute.
Being home with my daughter...
makes me so happy.
But at the interview you had with our staff,
you said you're happy to have some time away from babysitting.
(Daddy!)
That sounds very different from what you just said.
I said...
I'm happy at home, but I'm very happy to be outside too.
It's nice to see people outside.
It's been a very long time since I've seen this many people.
It made my heart pound. I had a great time today.
Kai, you voted for Jung Chi.
Yes, I did.
What did you like about his performance?
I came to think Jung Chi's life and music...
resemble the guitar a lot.
A guitar looks like a very common instrument,
but it's actually very special, because the guitar is...
one of the only instruments that suits our voices the most.
It's not too overpowering, and it sounds comfortable.
Just like the guitar, I hope Jung Chi can continue being...
a musical instrument loved by many people for a long time.
Thank you.
(Touched)
Good.
With the gentle guitar melody and his warm voice,
he gave a performance that reminds us of Christmas.
Please give a round of applause to Cho Jung Chi!
Thank you.
(We root for Jung Chi's various activities.)
(Go, Jung Chi!)
Go, Jung Chi!
(You were awesome today.)
I hope this show fails!
(I can't believe you eliminated me.)
I'll come back next year.
I think it'd be nice to be on this show every year.
I'll try again next year and do well.
Jung In, Eun Ah, I love you.
Let's have a great time together...
on Christmas and next year.
See you later at home.
Is This Kim Yuna's Country?
Figure Queen beat Cho Jung Chi and moves on to Round Two.
The final match of Round One.
Become the masked queen.
Abracadabra.
Magic Beyond Laws, Magician Girl!
You're falling in love with my voice.
(Are you ready to fall in love with my voice?)
(We are ready.)
She's an idol singer.
Her gestures look so smooth.
She's cute.
Contending against her is...
My wand is going to teach you a lesson.
Clap Your Hands, Malfoy,
Magician Boy.
(Clap Your Hands, Malfoy, Magician Boy.)
Fall in love with my music.
(You'll fall in love with my music.)
(We're already falling in love.)
Magician Boy.
He's so cute.
It's like a Hogwarts Special.
(It's a match between two magical best friends.)
(Which of their spells will enchant the audience?)
(Magician Girl, the best muggle-born witch?)
(Or Magician Boy, the genius wizard?)
Isn't this your song?
(My song?)
Oh, it's not.
(It's a song that they prepared as a Christmas gift.)
("Must Have Love" by SG Wannabe and Brown Eyed Girls)
(Their refreshing voices capture everyone's ears.)
(It's a precious Christmas story...)
(that the two magical best friends make.)
I love their voices.
(Moving up and down)
(They make a great couple.)
(Magician Boy's beautiful voice warms your heart.)
(Wow)
(Magician Girl's charming high-pitched voice joins.)
(Smiling)
(House Band)
(A little spell that makes you happy on Christmas)
(They make a sweet ensemble together.)
(Fascinated)
It's like a musical.
(He must be a singer.)
(All I need is my eagle.)
(Their performance made everyone fall in love with them.)
Gosh, I love you.
(Touched)
They created a harmony of love.
The last match of Round One is now over.
Yoon Sang, what did you think?
Speaking of their duet performance,
- I think it was very stable. - Right.
Magician Girl has a very unique singing style.
- She does? - Actually,
she reminded me of a solo singer who works with...
a name of a fruit as her stage name.
- Fruit? - Yes.
Do you mean Jadu? No way.
- I doubt that. - I mean her singing style.
Everyone seems to be skeptical about this idea just like Gu Ra.
You think her singing style is similar to Jadu's.
Yes. Magician Boy is like a good singer in a church choir.
It looked like he was being...
considerate of Magician Girl.
It felt like he held himself back for her sake...
when he could show off his ability a little more.
I thought that he might have been in a group.
He has a very soft...
and high-pitched voice for a man.
I thought that he might have been singing in harmony for a long time.
That's what I thought.
Are you saying that Magician Girl is not used to singing in harmony?
Not exactly.
She just has a very distinctive voice.
What I want to emphasize is that...
I could see that she was trying...
to pronounce each word of the lyrics precisely.
From that, I thought...
that she could be a musical actress.
- Because of her singing style? - Yes.
As for Magician Boy, I don't know if it's just his mask,
but it feels like Cho Jung Chi came to this show again.
- Right. - It sounded like his voice too.
- Maybe he came back for Christmas. - Yes.
This is a show without any bias.
His mask actually...
reminds me of Song Eun I.
Song Eun I?
He feels more like a girl than a boy.
A girl?
Actually, his mask and voice reminded me...
of Lee Seok Hoon.
- SG Wannabe? - Yes.
Also, Magician Boy has...
a very sweet voice.
He's probably a professional singer.
Honestly, I have no idea who Magician Boy is,
but he sang with his true voice...
without holding himself back.
So I thought he might be someone who often tops the music charts.
The more your reasoning lacks substance,
the more you repeat the same thing.
What about you?
You haven't said anything helpful either.
- I think he could be... - Yes?
- Kim Young Woo of Sweet Sorrow. - Kim Young Woo?
Yes. Sweet Sorrow often holds a concert at the end of the year.
He might have come to our show to promote it.
My guess is that he is Kim Young Woo.
- All right. - When Magician Girl sang,
it sounded a little bit like she was...
dubbing an animated film.
I thought that she might be a voice actress.
Also, she seems like a married woman.
- You got that from her voice? - It was like...
she was reading a book to a child. "Once upon a time,"
"the princess met the prince."
Something like this.
She pronounced the words precisely?
Yes, that's why...
I thought that she might be a mother who often...
reads books to her child.
Now, let's check out their specialties.
Let's start with Magician Boy.
He can imitate the sounds that you can hear...
in everyday life.
Firstly, it's the sound of a bottle opening.
The sound of a bottle opening. Let us hear it.
(Pop)
What was that?
(It was a sound that seems like he will begin rapping.)
Gosh, that was a very big sound.
He's a man with unusual abilities.
Yes. That was extraordinary.
- It was a new sound. - What about three times in a row?
No? Why?
- Is it too hard? - Why?
(Why is he refusing it flatly?)
- Oh, I see. - What is it?
He made the wrong sound.
(He made the wrong sound.)
- That was the wrong sound? - I wondered...
if there were bottles that sounded like this when opening.
That was great.
What was the sound that you were going to make?
Please try again. A bottle opening. Go ahead.
Come on, the previous one was better.
- Was it better? - Yes!
Let's stick with the previous one.
It was much better. Can you do it one more time?
He can't make that sound again.
It was a mistake, but you think it was better.
- It was. - He's a bit flustered.
He's a lucky man.
All right. Now, it's the sound of a rice cooker releasing steam.
A rice cooker releasing steam. Go ahead.
(Hiss)
(He's trying hard.)
(He should've made a mistake again.)
He wants to be funny.
He didn't have to shake his head like that.
He's quite baffled by...
your reactions.
- He's a little daunted now. - The way he's standing,
putting aside his singing ability,
looks like the way Nam Chang Hee stands.
He looks like Nam Chang Hee?
He does look like Chang Hee, but he sings...
He sings too well?
He sings too well.
- I see. - He looks...
- very weak just like Chang Hee. - Right.
This time, Magician Girl...
will show you some magic tricks that she prepared for today.
How exciting.
Well, she's holding an ice cream cone.
Good. Please show us.
(Confident)
(Humming)
(What is she doing?)
She's humming herself.
She's humming.
(I'm not making this sound.)
(Here!)
(I got you.)
All right.
(People don't know when they should applaud.)
(She's the only one who's confident.)
We got fooled.
Her shameless attitude made it funny.
It would've been a disaster without her voice.
She added the background music herself.
- It was a little shameless of her. - Not just a little.
- It's a trash bin this time. - Goodness.
Let's see what kind of magic it is this time.
(The jukebox gets played again.)
(Aren't you going to clap your hands?)
(It's so easy to predict what this magic is about.)
(She's just too shameless.)
(She's good.)
(Singing)
(Ta-da)
(Lee Eun Gyeol must be envious of her talents.)
(Skills: 2.5, Novelty: 0, Expression: 5)
Who is it?
- It's worth criticism, - That's impressive.
but everyone's giving her an applause.
All right.
But she really is going to show you a brilliant one this time.
It's for real this time.
She's going to make...
Magician Boy disappear from the stage...
through her magical teleportation.
(Magician Boy and Magician Girl's Mysterious Room)
We have a large cloth on this side here.
There's nothing in the cloth.
Magician Boy is standing behind the cloth right now.
She'll make him disappear.
(The audience is now used to her self-background music.)
He's still here.
(Seong Ju is her assistant.)
He's still here.
(Singing)
(Everyone's focused.)
(To somewhere far away)
He's gone!
He's gone.
Where did he go?
(Where is he?)
Where is he?
Oh, my goodness.
(The story behind The Case of the Disappearance of Magician Boy)
(When the cloth went up,)
(he ran off stage.)
(Magician Boy and the Mysterious Room)
(And she makes a shameless ending.)
(Crouching)
(The audience is pretending like they didn't see anything.)
Magician Boy is gone.
(Her sense of shame is gone with him.)
This is impressive.
Why is Magician Boy assisting her like this?
- This must not be easy for him. - Let's bring him back.
Let's teleport him back here.
Start with the self-background music.
(Seong Ju has become shameless too.)
This is somewhat fun.
I can see it all too.
(That's the signal.)
There he is.
Magician Boy.
(Amazed)
This is amazing.
He got transported back. Did you get hurt?
He's fine.
(She should be invited to the "Entertainment Awards".)
Give them a big hand.
(That was cool.)
How shameless.
(He quietly leaves a comment.)
Now it's time to announce the result...
on the last match of Round One.
They're the two main characters of "Harry Potter".
Between Magician Girl and Magician Boy,
who will be the last to advance to Round Two?
Please show us the result.
(It'll be revealed now.)
(Magician Girl has a clear and firm voice.)
(Magician Boy has a warm and comforting voice.)
(They made an unforgettable, magical harmony.)
Between Magician Girl and Magician Boy,
who will be the winner of this match?
The winner is...
- The winner is... - The winner is...
(The winner is...)
(Who will be the last masked singer that will heat up Christmas?)
(Should I start getting warmed up?)
Who's the winner of this match?
- The winner is... - The winner is...
(Magic Beyond Laws, Magician Girl wins.)
Magician Girl is the winner.
(How magical.)
(It's Magical Girl.)
What a bummer.
But Magical Boy did such a good job.
The voting difference is 68 to 31.
Magical Girl advances to Round Two.
Congratulations. Please move quickly to the waiting room.
Please give her a big hand.
She's the last contestant to advance to Round Two.
Magician Girl.
Let's do well in Round Two.
(Let's go.)
He's like a church guy who's good at singing.
He's assumed to be famous with his songs and is considerate.
His mask looks like Song Eun I.
Let's check his identity by watching his solo performance.
Please give him a big hand.
(His identity will be revealed with his solo performance.)
(He's a singer like a guy from church.)
(He's assumed to be famous online and has a voice of Lee Seok Hoon.)
("Untitled" by G-Dragon)
This is deep.
I think he'll do great.
He must be great at singing.
G-Dragon.
(They love his voice.)
(Awesome)
(His handsome voice resonates delicately.)
- He's a singer for certain. - He's good.
(Jealous)
Now, Magician Boy, please take off your mask...
and reveal your identity.
He is...
That startled me.
- They're going crazy. - Who is he?
(Who is it?)
He is...
He's been a rising entertainer for 18 years.
But he's actually a veteran entertainer.
He's Nam Chang Hee.
(They got his identity right.)
(It's crazy.)
I got it right again.
(Getting goosebumps)
It's scary.
Is he possessed or something today?
What's wrong with me? It's Chang Hee.
(Winking)
(No way.)
(This is fun.)
(No one expected he'd be this good at singing.)
(Amazed)
My gosh.
(He's good at improvising too.)
- He's good. - He's a great singer.
Why am I getting emotional?
(Chang Hee performed "Untitled" with all his heart.)
(Chang Hee, you're so cool.)
We've found a new side of him.
Chang Hee, you're so cool.
Please say hello to the viewers.
Hello, I'm Nam Chang Hee. It's nice to meet you.
(He made his debut as a talented 19-year-old young boy.)
(He's been considered to be a rising star for 18 years.)
(He's a veteran comedian who shows diverse sides of himself.)
(In extremely popular dramas like "Rustic Period",)
("My Love from the Star", and "Mr. Sunshine",)
(he captivated viewers with his funny yet great acting skills.)
(A versatile man on the rise)
(Comedian and actor, Nam Chang Hee, who's always ready)
Gu Ra said it was obviously Chang Hee,
but that you sang too well to be Chang Hee.
He thought of Chang Hee...
to hear this voice. That's amazing.
Today, I realized myself...
that I really have sharp eyes.
(I... I agree.)
It's not that strange you recognized Kwang Gi because you're close.
Lee Kwang Gi, Cho Jung Chi, and even Nam Chang Hee.
Kwang Gi, Jung Chi, and Chang Hee.
Gosh, you got them right in a row.
Chang Hee made an X with his arms earlier.
He hardly does that gesture,
but he does it once in a blue moon,
and when I saw the X, I noticed it was Chang Hee.
This gesture was that of Chang Hee.
I didn't know Chang Hee was such a good singer.
I didn't either.
I even voted for Chang Hee.
- You voted for him? - Because his voice was so good.
She kept saying that he must be a singer who tops music charts...
and that he has the voice which she likes.
- So... - Why don't you two go out?
- Let's meet with a mask on then. - Divest yourself of prejudice.
I'm sorry, but could you come out with a mask on too?
Of course I will.
How could I ask only you to put on a mask?
- I'll have a mask on too. - All right.
- A date with a mask on. - With a mask on?
You've prepared to be on King of Mask Singer for quite a long time.
In fact, because I wanted to be on King of Mask Singer,
I took a vocal lesson for a year.
- For a year? - Yes, for a year.
- You took lessons for a year? - Yes.
After I got vocal lessons for a year,
I got vocal cord nodules.
- Because I sang too hard, - I see.
- and my vocal cords were weak. - Unexpectedly.
So I thought I couldn't be on this show,
but since this show is still on air,
I finally got a chance to sing here.
I had such a meaningful time.
- Thank goodness it has survived. - I know.
I think that I didn't waste the past year.
- You did such a good job. - I think I'll release my album.
I think you may.
After a long wait,
he finally succeeded on being on King of Mask Singer.
Please give Chang Hee a round of applause.
Thank you.
(They applaud Chang Hee's endless efforts.)
I've always dreamed of singing in front of many people since young.
I was able to fulfill that dream today.
I released an album once.
I released an album with Cho Sae Ho,
but we're just using them as dominoes at home.
As a solo artist...
(Now, as a solo artist)
I'll try one more time after practicing harder.
Clap Your Hands, Malfoy, Magician Boy...
was me, Nam Chang Hee.
Have a great time at the end of the year, everyone.
Please support me a lot next year.
(Next Week)
(Extremely sexy dances...)
(and inspired hip rolls...)
(mesmerize the contenders.)
(I think they can't come to their senses.)
(And the King of Mask Singer has a meltdown too?)
(Ken the Eagle is faced with an ordeal.)
(What are the shocking results?)
(The next episode of King of Mask Singer will be surely fun.)
