Round three, Final Round.
This masked singer beat comedian Seo Tae Hun...
and singer Yoon Soo Hyun.
I will draw the sign of the masked queen.
Water is Self-served, Aquarius.
(Water is Self-served, Aquarius)
(We love Aquarius!)
Let's get it!
Water bottle.
Let's get immersed in her song again.
(It's time to shine on stage instead of shining in the sky.)
(A performance that will live up to the panelists' expectations,)
(and make the masked king Klimt nervous...)
(is about to unfold.)
(What song could this unusual intro be?)
J?
Isn't she Lee Sun Hee?
("Dear J" by Lee Sun Hee)
(Her voice is low and clear.)
(And it draws us into the song.)
She's amazing.
(Her heartrending voice will remain deeply in our hearts.)
(Knowing that the past memories won't come back,)
(she becomes more emotional.)
I love it. I love it so much.
It's so emotional.
(I love her emotion.)
(It's making me lonely.)
(Aquarius' "Dear J" conveys the longing for the past memories)
(It's beautiful.)
It's beautiful.
It wasn't impactful, but the emotion permeated us.
I got emotional.
Contending against her is this masked singer...
who beat Heejin of LOONA and the singer Jung Jae Wook.
He will play on repeat on the throne.
Nothing Can Stop Me, Play Guy.
(Nothing Can Stop Me, Play Guy)
(Play Guy with the shining voice enters.)
(He looks confident.)
(We want to keep hearing your voice.)
Which song will he sing?
I love Play Guy. I love his voice.
Let's go. Let's go.
(Play Guy stands on the stage, being nervous.)
(Amid the expectations and the tension,)
(what song will Play Guy perform...)
(to beat Aquarius...)
(and go for the invincible wall, Klimt?)
("Station" by Panic)
(It's one of the best ballad songs performed by Lee Juck.)
(Everyone is excited to listen to Play Guy's version.)
(Surprised)
(He takes our breath away with his deep husky voice.)
(Impressed)
(Exhaling)
(Oh, my goodness.)
(They can't help but applaud to the emotions that still linger.)
(House Band)
(Your jaw might get dislocated.)
(Play Guy performed "Station" with his expressive voice.)
(His voice is amazing!)
(Cheering)
(The emotion resonates deep inside our hearts.)
That was nice.
Final Round of Round Three has now come to an end.
Hyun Chul, you have a nice expression on your face.
I do. I enjoyed it a lot.
The two of them performed different styles of music.
When Lee Sun Hee performed "Dear J",
it sounded like she was telling J...
that he will get sick if he leaves her,
so he should come back to her.
Meanwhile, Aquarius just...
let her lover go,
but she couldn't get over him.
And she was singing the song alone. I could feel the sorrow.
So it sounded sad to you.
Yes, it was very sad.
And as for Play Guy,
his performance was excellent.
As he keeps moving up,
round after round,
his singing skills got better and better with the songs he chose.
If he becomes the masked king today,
I'll look forward to the song he'll sing at his defense match.
(Thank you.)
It was very hard to decide whom to vote for.
"Dear J" reinterpreted...
with Aquarius' voice...
was like a reformed dress.
It perfectly fits her.
If she releases the song, I will...
- Will you buy it? - Yes, I will.
You'll listen to it for only one minute, won't you?
I'm not going to listen to it for only one minute.
(Laughing)
- When it's released, she will... - He ruined it.
- listen to it for one minute. - He's such a downer.
- She has... - He ruined the moment.
a voice I want to keep listening to.
Play Guy is...
- fooling you. - He's fooling us?
He sings with his body.
He squeezes his whole body.
Aquarius was feeling comfortable...
during the performance.
- Right? - Yes.
- What's your point? - What are you trying to say?
That he uses his whole body in the performance...
makes you think that he's doing his best.
You might think he was performing with all his strength,
but he's an actor.
He's an actor?
- He's an actor, not a singer? - He's an actor.
So you think he's tricking us to believe he's a singer.
He's a singer.
- He's an actor. - Could you please join us...
once again when we have Gu Ra here?
Things might get ugly then.
- That's why. - I hate him.
I think there will be a big fight between two guys of the same age...
in front of a big audience.
We had a fight once.
(Myung Soo and Gu Ra...)
(exchanged verbal blows.)
(Are you angry now?)
(Was I angry?)
(Dodging)
(A common conversation between two men who were born in 1970)
It's better not to see him.
Play Guy sounded...
nonchalant at times,
but then he squeezed out the emotions...
and expressed them.
It felt like he was telling us his experiences through music.
I loved it. Most importantly,
since last week, I've been in love with his shoes.
- His shoes? - Yes. They are shiny.
I'm wearing silver shoes too but matte.
Let me see.
- Here they are. - Oh, my.
I put on matte shoes.
They do look similar in color.
- But his look so sparkly. - They share the same fashion sense.
- They look so sparkly. - They are the same shoes.
Oh, my goodness.
- It's Kim Ho Young's style. - They're my kind of shoes.
I want his voice and his shoes.
I see. You want them both.
I came to realize how great the crews are...
when it comes to casting.
J.ae performed "Dear J"?
You're saying the song she performed...
is a hint telling us who she is?
I understand why this show is the best show.
I am very surprised.
- Isn't it astounding? - She must be J.ae.
How are your babies doing, J.ae?
So you think J.ae performed "Dear J".
She performed "Dear J" for herself.
(Is Aquarius J.ae?)
I'm fascinated.
All right.
Now, I'm going to announce...
the result of the Final Round.
Between Aquarius and Play Guy,
which one of them do the panelists want to see again?
The winner is...
- The winner is... - The winner is...
(Will it be Aquarius or Play Guy?)
(Who will be the rival of the masked queen, Klimt?)
Who will be Klimt's rival?
- The winner is... - The winner is...
Who is the winner?
(The winner is Play Guy.)
Play Guy is the winner.
(He will head to the Final Match non-stop.)
(I knew Play Guy would make it.)
(They feel bad that Aquarius was defeated.)
Play Guy defeated Aquarius...
and got chosen to be the masked queen's match...
with a score of 62 to 37.
You have become the masked queen's rival.
You may now go backstage and watch the masked queen's performance.
Please give him a round of applause.
Play Guy is the winner.
I'm looking forward to a good match with the masked queen.
Klimt, please wait for me.
Boom mentioned J.ae.
J.ae performed "Dear J".
Let's find out if you were right.
Please come to the back of the stage.
(It's finally time to reveal Aquarius' identity.)
Now, Aquarius,
please take off your mask and reveal your face.
(Oh, my gosh! This is unbelievable!)
(Surprised)
- She is... - Who is she?
(Who on earth is she?)
It's J.ae.
(No)
She is...
Who is she?
Her beautiful voice never lets you down.
It's the artist, Kwon Jin Ah!
(It's Kwon Jin Ah?)
(It wasn't J.ae!)
It was Jin Ah!
Hello, I'm Kwon Jin Ah.
- It's good to see you all. - All right.
(She made her first stage appearance on "K-pop Star" in 2014.)
(With clever arrangements...)
(and a unique voice,)
(she made it to the top 3.)
(She topped the music charts right away with her debut album.)
(Making another hit with the song she wrote,)
(she became the new rising singer-songwriter.)
(Her unique and warm voice...)
(allowed her to work with many famous artists.)
(She also has sung soundtracks of many dramas.)
(A warm and emotional voice)
(Kwon Jin Ah, the singer with the loveliest voice)
Do you actually like Myung Soo's dance?
(Jin Ah perfectly imitated Myung Soo's famous dance move.)
He's a really funny person.
You do?
So you really are his fan.
Yes, I find him so funny.
I even have some clips of "Infinite Challenge"...
saved on my phone. I watch them from time to time.
I'm such a big fan of his.
Thank you.
I haven't been able to go on...
many TV shows since "Infinite Challenge" ended.
It's an honor...
to meet you on this show.
Stop talking about yourself.
- Talk about her music. - What are you, a school principal?
It was good.
(Your performance was good.)
Well done. I really liked it.
I think the two of you could release a duet song.
Would you like to?
But doesn't he like EDM?
He does.
It doesn't mean that I don't like ballads.
No, I mean...
- It doesn't mean that. - Don't get all worked up.
I like all genres of music.
Listen to him sing "Dear J".
- J, I can never forget you - Look how he lowers his microphone.
- Dear J - He lowered it down to here.
He's singing like an old man.
My voice comes from my waist.
- J, I can never forget you - All right.
- He's so cool. - You still think so?
She's a fan indeed.
(Pleased)
In this cold winter, her warm voice and emotions...
made us feel warm inside despite the cold.
It was Kwon Jin Ah. Please give her a big hand!
Thank you. Thank you all.
Great job.
This is the result of Round Three.
Nothing Can Stop Me, Play Guy...
defeated Kwon Jin Ah and moved on to Final Match.
The mysterious music show, King of Mask Singer.
What only remains now is...
Kiss, Kiss, Kiss, Klimt's performance to defend her throne.
What kind of performance did Klimt prepare...
to win her first match as the masked queen?
The 96th Final Match.
Let's watch the Queen of Mask Singer's performance!
(It begins now.)
Let's go!
(Cheering)
The 96th Final Match.
She will complete the picture of today's Final Match.
Kiss, Kiss, Kiss,
Klimt!
(Kiss, Kiss, Kiss, Klimt)
(She will now begin to paint her second victory.)
(A great vocalist who became the masked queen in the Idol Special)
(It's the idol masked queen who went viral.)
I wonder how it feels to defeat all the other idol singers.
It'd feel great.
Her outfit shows that she's the masked queen.
(Captivated)
It's so frustrating that I can't see who she is.
(Her first match as the masked queen)
(The audience expects a new masterpiece.)
(Will she meet their expectations,)
(defeat her strong opponent,)
(and win her first match as the masked queen?)
(The song starts with a sad piano prelude.)
What song is this?
(Uncertain)
(I know what song this is.)
I think it's going to be a great song.
("Heartbroken" by Lee Seung Hwan)
(Klimt sings softly with her delicate voice.)
(Focusing on Klimt)
(The empty place in your heart...)
(slowly begins to ache.)
(It makes me feel emotional.)
(It sounds so sad.)
(Who is this idol singer?)
(The heartache...)
(turns into a surging yearning.)
(A parting leaves a sore and painful scar.)
(Amazed)
(She conveys sorrowfulness, not just mere sadness.)
(She expresses her yearning with her entire body.)
(She's amazing.)
(They watch her in awe.)
(Oh, my goodness.)
(She's incredible.)
("Heartbroken" by Klimt, the heartrending pain of parting)
(This is why she's the masked queen.)
It was amazing, Gu Ra.
I don't think she's an idol singer of our generation.
We all thought so after her last performance.
The masked queen's performance is now over.
Who do you think deserves to sit on the throne?
What did you think of her performance?
It was overwhelming.
It really was.
Her performance reminded me of...
the classroom sanitation check back in school.
The teacher used to check how clean our classroom was.
It felt like the teacher checked the window frames,
and couldn't find a speck of dust on them.
It was flawless.
Her performance showed her perfect singing ability.
She sang a Lee Seung Hwan song.
It'll make him very happy.
(It will make Seung Hwan happy.)
Yes. She gave a performance...
- that would make him very happy. - Yes.
Her profession is clear.
She's an idol singer.
- Are you sure? - She became...
the masked queen in the Idol Special,
so she's definitely an idol singer.
- Maybe she lied about it. - She didn't.
The idol singers...
who have ever become the masked queen before...
are Luna, Solji,
and now Klimt. She has a voice which is as exceptional as theirs.
Danny, you were here when she became the masked queen.
I was. The other masked singers were amazing as well.
I really enjoyed the Idol Special...
because they proved that...
they're not just good performers,
but they're amazing singers as well. I was really proud of them.
That's why I had high expectations for Klimt today.
People don't seem to believe that she's an idol singer.
It's more like they can't believe it.
- That's how good she is. - Yes.
It made me even prouder.
I knew she would do an incredible job.
- I'm so happy right now. - I see.
But Play Guy has the kind of voice that you like, doesn't he?
Right. I'm also a guy, but I really like his voice.
It must've been hard for you to vote.
Yes, it was.
Like I said in the previous round,
Play Guy has the husky voice that I really like.
Singers today focus on using their own vocal techniques.
That's trendy these days.
Not many vocalists sing with all their body.
I can tell he's been singing for a very long time...
Since he was little.
He's experienced in performing on stage.
(She agrees.)
I've been rooting for Play Guy...
since Round Two.
I liked how he performed passionately...
with all his sincerity.
I loved his performance in Round Three as well.
With his voice full of sorrow and sadness,
he made us immersed in his performances.
I really enjoyed them.
I have to say, Play Guy was born...
with a gifted voice.
His voice has the power to move people's hearts.
Especially for women,
they might cry, smile,
feel happy, or become gloomy...
depending on how he uses his voice.
It's the maximized version...
of a man's voice.
I enjoyed his performances.
As for Klimt, I came to have this thought for the first time.
I felt pity for Gu Ra...
- for the first time. - Why is that?
He didn't get to watch her performance on site.
Why did he have to be absent this week?
Meanwhile, Myung Soo is so lucky.
That's what came to my mind.
(The devil's son is lucky.)
Regardless of gender,
everyone with ears couldn't help but become impressed...
by the way she sang.
(It was overwhelming.)
The mysterious music show, King of Mask Singer.
It's time to announce the 96th owner of the throne.
Between Play Guy and Klimt,
who did the audience choose to be the 96th masked king?
The winner is...
- The winner is... - The winner is...
(What's the result of this unpredictable match?)
(Who is the winner?)
Who did the audience choose to be the 96th masked king?
- The winner is... - The winner is...
Who is it?
(Kiss, Kiss, Kiss, Klimt wins.)
Klimt wins.
(Klimt has succeeded in defending her throne!)
Are you watching this, Gu Ra?
(Are you watching this?)
Klimt gets to sit on the throne once again.
The voting difference is 65 to 34.
By receiving 65 votes,
Klimt gets to keep her throne.
She'll be given the golden mask and the queen's robe again.
Can we hear a word from you, Klimt?
This is totally unexpected for me.
I'm deeply moved and grateful...
for being able to keep the throne.
Thank you so much.
(Congratulations)
Klimt will now make an exit after her march...
due to security reasons.
Give her another round of applause.
(Her class has been proved once again.)
Congratulations.
Winning two times in a row,
she's now the 96th masked queen.
(You're so cool, Klimt.)
We'll be able to watch...
her performance next week.
It's time to reveal the identity of Play Guy.
Please move to the back of the stage.
(She's curious.)
Now, Play Guy, please take off your mask...
and reveal your identity.
(Surprised)
(Is this for real?)
He is...
the vocalist with an expressive voice.
He sang the soundtrack of the drama, "Spring Day".
He's Kim Yong Jin.
It's Yong Jin.
(No wonder he had such a charming low voice.)
- Kim Yong Jin. - It's Yong Jin.
Please say hello to the viewers.
Hello, it's nice to meet you.
I'm Kim Yong Jin.
(Without realizing)
(He sang the title soundtrack of the drama, "Spring Day".)
(Since his debut, he was once a solo singer and once in a group.)
(He's now a veteran singer with 17 years of experience.)
(With his expressive voice, he managed to become the winner...)
(of the King of Kings Special on "Immortal Songs".)
(He also sang various soundtracks.)
(He's the singer with a charming voice.)
(He's the distinctive vocalist, Kim Yong Jin.)
During Round One, Danny commented...
that you were very nervous.
Let me tell you why I made that comment.
It's hard not to recognize his voice.
He's such an experienced singer.
He's appeared on other music programs too.
So there was no way he'd be nervous if it was really him...
which made me confused.
Why were you so nervous last week?
I thought I'd feel at ease with this mask on,
but it was nerve-racking in a different way.
- Really? - Yes.
This is not the first time...
that Yong Jin's name has come up on our show.
Do you remember Big Chestnut Bread,
who was the king for three times in a row?
(Before the identity of Big Chestnut Bread was revealed to be Muzie,)
(Yong Jin was thought to be the one.)
(Yong Jin should probably treat me to a meal.)
- Do you remember it? - Yes, I do.
Did you hear a lot about it from your acquaintances?
Yes, I don't have any schedule...
on Sunday nights.
So a lot of my acquaintances thought I caused trouble...
and called me out of concern.
Thanks to Muzie,
I was able to become the talk of the town.
It was very meaningful.
I see.
Muzie was a bit upset though.
Right, I was thankful...
but apologetic at the same time.
He mentioned, "Yong Jin should treat me to a meal,"
- on the show. - That's right.
And we actually met up,
- thanks to this program. - I see.
(King of Mask Singer and other 517 people like this post.)
I'll pay a visit and like it too.
(Laughing)
(Sounds good.)
Musically speaking,
the sincerity...
of a vocalist with such a voice...
is unbeatable.
- I love it. - Right.
(Thank you.)
Yong Jin has solid music experience.
We'll be rooting for him so he'll continue to make great music.
Please give him a big hand.
Thank you.
- It's Kim Yong Jin. - Thank you.
(Part 2 will be aired soon.)
Kiss, Kiss, Kiss, Klimt succeeded to win twice in a row.
And eight skilled contestants are here to challenge the masked queen.
Their flashy performances will begin now.
(King of Mask Singer)
The first match of Round One.
He's the masked singer with a firm bridge-like voice.
He's Always at
Yangwha Bridge
Yangwha Bridge.
Where are you headed?
I see. I'm headed to the throne.
(Playful)
(Let's be happy)
(Let's not be sick)
Taxi driver
He's cute.
Against him...
is the masked singer with seven colorful charms.
Banpo Bridge on Rainbow Fountain.
(Banpo Bridge on Rainbow Fountain)
The path to the throne is rainbow colored.
(Come to the rainbow fountain at the Banpo Bridge.)
(She's pretty.)
How refreshing.
(It's the match between the two bridges on the Han River.)
(Which one of them will head to Round Two?)
(Let's see.)
(The two bridges with a beautiful night view...)
(will start their duet performance now.)
("Lying on the Sea" by The Treble Clef)
It's getting exciting.
(Everyone bounces to its exciting prelude.)
It sounds like a 90s song.
(Surprised)
(Yangwha Bridge starts off softly.)
(Banpo Bridge shows off her charming low voice.)
(His strong voice begins to roll in like waves.)
(Yangwha Bridge's charms are like a shining star.)
(Flying)
(Hello, I'm Klimt.)
(An upbeat rhythm fills the stage.)
(The two singers build on each other's harmony.)
There we go!
(This is so much fun!)
(House Band)
(Banpo Bridge's voice draws you in right away.)
(Her diverse charms are like a rainbow.)
(Doing a scat)
(I'm lonely.)
(A refreshing stage like the ocean, "Lying on the Sea")
(I want to go to the beach.)
That was so refreshing.
A throwback to the 70s and 80s!
(Brings back the memories of the 70s and the 80s)
The first duet of the first round's duet battle is now over.
Hyun Chul,
that was a very fun performance.
This is a song from the Campus Song Festival.
- From the 70s, right? - Yes.
You brought the feels right back. That was a lot of fun.
Yangwha Bridge sounds...
like he's quite aged.
His scats dipped at the end.
(An old-fashioned dip at the end)
That was a bit old-fashioned.
I think he could be in his mid-40s to mid-50s.
Mid-40s to mid-50s.
And Banpo Bridge,
considering her singing skills,
voice, and vibration,
she must be quite experienced.
But she looks quite young.
When she was singing the song,
she sang this part...
in a certain way that also sounded...
old-fashioned.
(Old-fashioned)
She sang like this.
(I'm going to give it a try, too.)
Did she scratch her throat like that?
(She sounded strong and old-fashioned.)
Based on that,
- She must be in her mid-30s... - Mid-30s?
- to early-40s. - To early-40s.
From around 35 to 42 years old.
Contestants on this show react exactly like she just did...
when we get their age right.
- She's busted. - That's right.
I think...
she really hoped that we'd think that she's an idol.
That's why she dressed...
like a young girl today.
But just from the intro,
(She was dancing old-fashioned, not like how idols would dance.)
- she was dancing like this. - Is that right?
I realized that I shouldn't be deceived by her dress.
Right in the beginning.
- Idols don't dance like this. - That's right.
Idols these days don't dance like that.
Let's hear from Gu Ra!
- Hello. - He's back from his vacation.
- I'm a lucky person. - Why is that?
This is my first show after being back from my break,
and I recognize someone right from the first round.
- Do you know one of the two? - Really,
it's interesting.
- You know someone? - I'm going to do well today.
- See Yangwha Bridge? - Yes.
Just look at him.
His upper body is so toned.
And his legs look quite toned, too.
He's very muscular.
And with his singing, on top of that,
reminds me of someone.
- His name begins with L. - L?
He has a nickname.
He's always referred to as the middle-aged something.
A middle-aged flower?
You're quite confident.
You've become keener after your break.
You're very alert today.
What about Banpo Bridge?
Based on...
the reactions that she has been showing when we talk,
she's quite experienced with shows.
The way she points her finger like that.
Look at that. Making gestures like that isn't easy.
Experienced.
She has been on many shows,
or she is...
someone who has performed extensively in musicals.
I think Ho Young could recognize one of them, then.
We talked about how Banpo Bridge...
scratched her voice while singing.
Skilled singers of our age...
scratch our voice like that.
(Scratching her voice)
(It's an advanced skill that all singers have tried at least once.)
We scratch our voice on purpose.
Seeing that she used that skill,
I thought she was around our age.
So, you agree that she's in her mid-30s or older.
And as for Yangwha Bridge,
despite the fact that his vocal range is very high,
he belted his notes.
He must be a strong person.
I think he may be an athlete,
but his voice sounds familiar.
Okay.
We have SF9 members...
and IZ ONE with us here today.
Ro Woon, do you think Banpo Bridge could be an idol?
Based on the way she walked onto the stage,
I thought she seemed like a fellow idol.
I thought she'd be an idol at first.
But when I heard her voice,
I thought that she sounded like a musical actress.
- A musical actress? - Yes.
- Chani, do you agree? - I think...
I agree.
- You can disagree. - Can I?
I think she's an idol.
Yes, we can have different opinions.
I think she's an idol.
He's a kind boy.
Look at how happy she seems after being called an idol.
There's no way she's an idol. She's a middle-aged auntie.
Chani is being too kind.
Everyone can have different opinions.
Let's ask the IZ ONE members.
Based on her vocalization and gestures,
she definitely doesn't seem like an idol.
- Definitely not? - No.
- Never. - Really?
I agree.
Out of four idol members,
three have said that she's not an idol.
It's time to show off your specialties.
First, let's see how Yangwha Bridge dances.
Wait, I have a question.
Is he going to rip off his shirt while dancing?
No idea. Do you rip your shirt off often?
Yes, he does it often.
He always brings around extra shirts.
Extra shirts?
Is he really the man Gu Ra thinks he is?
Start the music!
(Music start!)
(This song is...)
It's our song.
(How's his dance to "Mamma Mia" going to look like?)
(Big moves)
(Happy feet)
(Stretching)
(It's a mix between sharp movements and cuteness.)
He's very sharp with his moves.
(His moves are so sharp, they're ahead of the beat.)
(The original singers are so shocked.)
SF9, enjoy the performance.
(Busy dancing)
(The refreshing element is nowhere to be found.)
(Dancing like an old man)
It's a fun song.
(But let's end it off with a cute heart.)
That's the end of his performance!
- SF9's "Mamma Mia"! - That's a disappointment.
Ro Woon, what did you think of the performance?
He uses his hip a lot.
He's in his 40s to 50s for sure.
After seeing him dance,
I changed my mind. I think he's in his mid-30s.
He can't dance as cool as an idol,
but it wasn't awkward.
I think he could dance better if he tried.
Chani, does he look like he's in his 30s?
I was so surprised...
by how sharp his movements were.
He's a decent dancer.
I think he's a good dancer, but he's hiding it.
So, I think Yanghwa Bridge...
is also an idol.
(He's an idol for sure.)
You're kind. Way too kind.
- You're a good boy. - Thank you.
What a good kid.
What a kind thing to say.
Let's see what Banpo Bridge has prepared for us.
She prepared a retro-style dance.
A retro-style dance.
(Appearing like a meteorite in 2005)
(The dance that stole the hearts of many men)
Please start the music.
(A retro-style dance)
She's starting to dance.
(She's moving to the rhythm.)
She's getting ready.
(It's going to be awesome.)
Is she going to get down?
(An extraordinary aura)
She looks like she danced this when it was a thing.
(She's so flexible!)
(They're all being pulled in.)
Goodness.
She's full of charm.
(She's good.)
Here she goes!
(Retro-style dance)
(Cute)
(Stiff)
Retro dance.
(She finishes it by spinning the LP.)
That's it.
That was amazing.
She dances well.
Can you play the same song for Yangwha Bridge?
- For Yangwha Bridge? - My gosh.
- Do you think he can dance? - Of course, he can.
He can dance?
He can totally dance.
Just give it a try for us.
We will play the same song for Yangwha Bridge.
Music, please.
(Yangwha Bridge's impromptu retro dance)
(He changes suddenly.)
You said you wouldn't dance.
You didn't want to dance.
They're dancing together. It's a joint performance.
(Unbelievable)
A joint performance of Yangwha Bridge and Banpo Bridge.
This is it.
(Seong Ju joins them too.)
This is it.
It was exciting.
- That was amazing. - It was so cool.
You know how to party.
Chani, do you still think she's an idol artist?
I don't think she's an idol artist.
Why? She dances very well.
Her eyes behind the mask...
were asking me to say that she's an idol.
She did?
Chani, do you agree?
(Tell me I'm an idol artist.)
(Her powerful eyes can reach a long distance.)
- That's why I said that. - Is that so?
And you changed your mind?
- Yes, I changed my mind. - My gosh.
All right.
Now, I will announce the result of the first match of Round One.
Yangwha Bridge versus Banpo Bridge.
Who will win this match...
and move on to the next round?
The winner is...
- The winner is... - The winner is...
The winner is...
- The winner is... - The winner is...
(Which bridge will light up the Han River?)
- The winner is... - The winner is...
Who's the winner?
(Banpo Bridge on Rainbow Fountain wins.)
Banpo Bridge wins.
(I thought Banpo Bridge was extraordinary.)
(Banpo Bridge has a unique voice.)
She's an idol star.
I feel bad for Yangwha Bridge.
The score is 72 to 27.
Please go back to your waiting room.
Please give her a round of applause.
(The shocking identity of Yangwha Bridge will be revealed soon.)
I'll make sure to cross the bridge of Round Two.
Wish me luck.
He's assumed to be Gu Ra's acquaintance.
Is Yangwha Bridge really him?
Or is he someone else?
We will reveal his identity with a solo performance prepared.
Please give him a big hand.
(His identity will be revealed with a solo performance.)
(What is this song?)
Is he singing Jeon Young Rok's song?
("Sparks" by Jeon Young Rok)
(Powerful stage manners)
("Sparks" by Jeon Young Rok)
(He starts the song with his voice that sparks like fire)
(His low-pitched voice burns the panelists' hearts.)
(Dancing)
(Gasping)
(Exciting and energetic)
(The middle-aged men sing along in excitement.)
(His passion that fills the stage...)
(and powerful bounce)
He's like my dad.
(Eunbi, are you there?)
Now,
Yangwha Bridge, please take off your mask...
and reveal your face.
(Surprised)
(Curious)
Who is he?
(Is he the guy I know?)
Yangwha Bridge, please take off your mask...
and reveal your face.
He is...
an all-around entertainer who constantly challenges himself,
Lee Jeong Yong.
(Is Yangwha Bridge Lee Jeong Yong?)
Lee Jeong Yong.
(It was you.)
(It was Jeong Yong!)
(After he takes off the mask,)
(he becomes more energetic.)
(Passionate)
(He fascinates the panelists...)
(with his tremendous energy.)
(Jeong Yong showed an exciting performance singing "Sparks".)
(Lee Jeong Yong, you're the best.)
(It was an impressive performance.)
I had no idea.
He's so energetic.
Please say hello to our viewers.
Hello. Nice to meet you. I'm a middle-aged man...
in killer shape and a healthy father, Lee Jeong Yong.
It's nice to meet you.
(Ice Man)
(With the character of Ice Man,)
(he made his debut as a comedian, winning the Rookie of the Year.)
(With his great acting skills,)
(he successfully changed his career as an actor.)
(He appeared in many variety shows with his sons.)
(Actually he's a professional singer with two solo albums.)
(He's also active in the musical industry.)
(Like his nickname, middle-aged Rain,)
(he won many awards at bodybuilding competitions.)
(He's Lee Jeong Yong who keeps challenging himself.)
Gu Ra said he's Mr. L.
I guess he was right about that.
I've seen him sing a lot,
and this is his first time not to rip his shirt off.
- He should rip his shirt off. - In the middle of the song.
It's not like that.
I put on some weight since last week. I gained 5kg.
On purpose?
Yes. To hide my body shape.
- I thought you had a big belly. - I know.
But you got caught so soon. You didn't have to do that.
Jeong Yong has a nice build.
- His nickname is middle-aged Rain. - Middle-aged Rain.
He's a beloved idol star...
among middle-aged women.
When I take off my shirt at an event,
women love that.
I see.
(Once he takes off his shirt,)
(women get so excited.)
Jeong Yong is a passionate and energetic guy.
And I heard you made your official debut as a musical actor.
People think I made my debut as a comedian,
but I debuted...
in the musical, " Les Miserables" in 1992.
- I see. - I worked as a musical actor.
While working as a musical actor, I was overwhelmed...
by a wall of harsh reality.
My father passed away when I was in the military.
So I became a comedian.
Working as a comedian, I became an actor.
And now I'm working as a singer because I think...
it's something I can't do...
after I get older.
I see.
Starting from today, I hope to do...
the things I care about and the things I'm good at.
All right.
(You're so cool.)
By the way, Yoon Seok is my senior, but he didn't recognize me.
- Is Yoon Seok your senior? - Yes.
Your senior comedian.
- Yes. - I'm his senior.
But Jeong Yong is older than Yoon Seok.
I must say their characters are completely the opposite.
(Jeong Yong looks healthy with broad shoulders.)
(Yoon Seok is forever a weakling.)
(Falling)
Yoon Seok, do you have anything to say?
Jeong Yong is my junior,
and he always tries his best.
He works hard until he burns himself out.
He struggles so hard...
until he drains away his energy.
In MBC, people even said...
he's the Jim Carrey of Korea.
- Really? - People even said that.
He performs amazing action scenes.
He's so active and energetic.
Please give him a lot of calls.
Please love and support him.
- All right. - Please.
Actually, I dreamed of becoming a musical singer...
watching his musical,
"Beauty and the Beast".
- Really? - Yes.
I will look forward to...
seeing you more often in musicals as a fan.
Thank you. I'll work harder...
and hope that there will be a day we perform on the same stage.
Some dream of becoming a musical actor watching you.
So I believe you should work even harder for them.
With his powerful stage manners,
he showed a passionate performance today.
Please give Jeong Yong a big hand once again.
Good luck!
(We look forward to your future endeavors.)
(Go, Jeong Yong!)
In Round One,
Banpo Bridge on Rainbow Fountain...
beat Lee Jeong Yong and moved on to Round Two.
The second match of Round One.
This will wake you up right away.
Tomorrow Is First Day of Classes.
(Tomorrow Is First Day of Classes)
My goal for this semester is to be the King of Mask Singer.
(I'll get straight As and become the King of Mask Singer.)
(We will cheer for you.)
Tomorrow Is First Day of Classes.
I don't mind even if tomorrow is the first day of school.
I just want to go back to my college days.
(Me too.)
Here's her opponent.
The vacation ended while I was singing.
Did You Finish Your Homework?
Back-to-School Day.
(Did You Finish Your Homework, Back-to-School Day)
I'll be the King of Mask Singer in the new semester, Teacher!
(I'll repay your kindness with a good song.)
(I like her pledge.)
(I still don't like it when the new semester starts.)
It's such a scary name.
It says, "I wish tomorrow would never come."
(It's a new start for the two determined masked singers.)
(Bring it on.)
(Will it be First Day of Classes, who's deep and clear like a river?)
(Or will it be Back-to-School Day, who flies like a crane?)
("Happy Me" by Eco)
"Happy Me".
It's a song for us.
(A song from 1997 that will make the cheerful two sentimental)
(A duet performance that will bring back happy memories)
(Back-to-School Day has a pure and honest voice)
(She has a great voice.)
(Whereas, First Day of Classes has a soulful husky voice.)
That voice sounds so familiar.
(Please stay with me.)
(Back-to-School Day sounds sincere.)
(First Day of Classes sounds sorrowful and sentimental.)
She has a good voice.
Their voice colors are very different.
(You're great!)
(A beautiful harmony of unique voices)
(She is a vocalist as elegant as a crane.)
(Her voice is appealing as deeply as a river.)
(A song loved by the nation including those born in the 1990s)
(It certainly suits their sentiments.)
(Sung with their voices,)
(the popular song sounds even more touching.)
(Hoping the back-to-school day will come soon)
(A voice that makes you wait for the first day of classes)
I don't have a clue.
Her voice is so husky.
(Their "Happy Me" brings back good memories.)
What a pleasure.
(They felt happy to hear that.)
That was very unique.
It'll be a matter of personal preference...
because their voice colors are very different.
The second duet song match of Round One is over.
Professor Yoon who must care about...
the first day of school as much as students?
Judging only from their appearances,
it's easy to think of them as typical idol singers.
As for First Day of Classes,
I thought that she was mimicking Jung In's song at first.
You thought she sounded like Jung In?
- Yes. It's not a common voice. - Yes.
She may hide that voice and sing with a completely...
different voice in her team.
I suspect that.
I feel like that's why I can't guess who she is at all.
On the contrary, Back-to-School is...
Since the other one is First Day of Classes, is she older?
Then...
It was sharp of you to notice the difference in their names.
- Was it sharp? - Yes.
In my opinion, considering the singing style,
pronunciation, and volume of Back-to-School Day's voice,
she is likely to be a sub-vocalist of an idol group.
Today, she proved that she has practiced hard so far.
Both of them seem to be idol singers to me.
(Are they really idol singers?)
I see.
Do you agree with him, Kai?
I think Back-to-School Day...
is an actress.
Our seniors often tell us this.
"Relax when you're singing a song."
Rather, "Be relaxed when you're acting."
And I think she got accustomed...
to relaxing while doing something.
Personally, I think she could be...
an actress who's been in this industry since she was a child.
He just heard her voice once...
and even said that she has been an actress since she was little.
I think she might still be a child actress.
You think she is a child actress now?
I think I've seen her silhouette...
in some youth drama or somewhere.
- You think so? - Yes.
There is someone that comes...
- to mind. - Well,
who is it?
- May I say who she is? - Someone came to your mind?
- She was on "Jang Bo Ri Is Here!". - "Jang Bo Ri Is Here!"
- Her name is Kim Ji Young. - Kim Ji Young.
- Kim Ji Young? - Yes.
I know her.
I have a feeling that she might be her.
What about you, Tae Ho?
I think they're quite young.
- Are you sure? - If Back-to-School Day...
comes to school on the first day of school,
I'd be glad to go back to school.
You'd want to go to school to see her?
Sure. I'd go no matter what.
And First Day of Classes...
sounded like she's slightly in bad shape.
She sounds like she has a cold.
When I looked at her, she was like this.
(Groaning)
- Was she? - She looked a little bit sick.
I guess she might have drunk too much...
before the first day of classes.
First Day of Classes' singing skill is great,
but I think she may have practiced...
too much.
You're just talking about things as you heard, right?
- Because I heard that with my ears. - I see.
I did. And she kind of seems...
like a rapper too.
- A rapper? - Yes.
- You mean First Day of Classes? - Yes.
On what ground?
Well, her stance was not...
modest, but it was somewhat like this.
(Her stance was crooked?)
- When she is standing? - Yes.
They are quite different.
They are quite different from each other.
Even that kind of voice...
may not be revealed...
because rappers do not sing a lot.
- You think she may be a rapper. - Yes.
Considering her posture and gesture,
you feel like she could be a rapper.
All right. Now, it's time for their specialties.
First, let's hear First Day of Classes' voice.
One of the celebrity panelists said...
she sounded a lot like Jung In.
She will actually mimic Jung In's voice.
Let us hear Jung In's song first.
Please start, First Day of Classes.
(Oh, my mind)
(Open your eyes)
With Jung In's voice.
Wow, it sounded just like hers.
This time, it's Jung In...
who sings pansori "Love Song".
Please sing it with Jung In's voice.
(Come here)
(Let me carry you on my back)
(Love)
(My dear love)
(Amazed)
(She sounds just like Jung In.)
Gosh.
She sounds like a rapper who came from another country.
The celebrity panelists are stirred up now.
- An IZ ONE member thinks... - IZ ONE?
that she knows who she is.
- Is that so? - Eunbi?
She was on an audition program once.
Who is it?
- You want her name? - Of course.
(Laughing)
4 syllables. I think her stage name has 4 syllables.
She's from 1 of the top 3 agencies.
(Who could it be?)
Then is she in an idol group?
No, she isn't.
- Solo... - Getting ready to be a solo artist.
- Does her name have four syllables? - Yes.
I think she studied abroad and came back.
- She studied abroad? - It's an English name.
(It's like they're having a quiz show.)
Since when did the panelists...
not share information with each other?
Gu Ra got a little sulky.
You may not be accurate, so please hold on for now.
Otherwise, you may influence others.
Lastly, you'll hear Back-to-School Day's real voice.
She is going to mimic the sound of an animal.
Let me show you what animal it is.
(Ta-da)
- Is it a deer? - Is it a reindeer?
A wolf?
An elk. It's an elk.
- But what's important is... - An elk.
that you should know what sound an elk makes first...
to tell if she sounds similar or not.
First, please pay attention to the sound of an elk.
(This is the real sound of an elk.)
(Shocked)
This is the sound of an elk?
That's scary.
(It even sounds scary.)
(Shrieking)
Isn't that how a drunk man sounds?
(Hey!)
(Did you call me?)
Let's see how she will impersonate an elk.
Please let us hear it.
(Elk impersonation)
(Laughing)
(It's undoubtedly the sound of an elk.)
(It's the new kind of talent that's unheard of.)
(Shrieking)
- That's more elk than a real elk. - That's it.
(After shrieking, she becomes calm again.)
That's more elk than a real elk.
(He's fascinated.)
I guess young people are good at impersonating an elk.
Who did it?
Chani did.
- Is he good at it? - He's good at it.
- Really? - He did it as soon as she did.
Let's hear it.
(We are curious about Chani the Elk.)
Can you have a conversation with him?
Chani the Elk and Back-to-School Day.
Two young elks met.
(Elk Castle)
(Chani the Elk wants to wear matching bracelets.)
(What's the big deal with the two-dollar bracelet?)
(Who am I to you?)
(You think I'm free?)
(Never mind it if it's that hard.)
(Woo Joo is great.)
I think they had...
a meaningful conversation.
You copied it well, Chani.
Thank you.
They might be similarly aged.
They are not young. Both of them.
- They are not young? - Yes.
Their relaxed attitudes, wits, and skills are great.
I think they are in their mid-20s.
Neither of them is a high school student.
Now, we will announce the result of the second match of Round One.
Between Back-to-School Day and First Day of Classes,
which person...
will make it to Round Two?
The winner is...
(Which student will go to King of Mask Singer School?)
(I will come too!)
Let's see who got chosen by you.
The winner is...
- The winner is... - The winner is...
Who is it?
(Tomorrow Is First Day of Classes wins.)
First Day of Classes won.
I love First Day of Classes.
(First Day of Classes will be in March.)
(It's a shame for Back-to-School Day.)
With a score of 67 to 32, she beat Back-to-School Day...
and made it to Round Two.
Please go to the waiting room.
We will get to see First Day of Classes again on Round Two.
Cheers for Round Two.
People guessed a wide range of age for her.
We will reveal her identity with...
a solo performance prepared for Round Two.
Please give it up for her.
(Which song, she prepared as her assignment, will she show us?)
("Only Longing Grows" by Yeo Jin)
Her voice will suit this song well.
I am so excited. Who could she be?
(She's good.)
(With a stable and calm voice,)
(Back-to-School Day gently sings.)
(Longing)
(I only trusted you)
Who is she?
- Now, - I am so curious.
Back-to-School Day, take off your mask...
and reveal your face.
(Screaming)
(What?)
Who is she?
Please reveal your face.
She is...
From the child actress in "Trap of Youth",
she grew into a talented actress.
She is actress Ha Seung Lee.
(Back-to-School Day is Ha Seung Lee?)
(Incredible!)
(He's surprised.)
- She's a former child actress. - She was really a child actress.
(It's her first time to sing on stage,)
(but she sings very well for a first-timer.)
(She reinterpreted the song with her unique emotion.)
(It was "Only Longing Grows" sung by a 25-year-old.)
(The emotion lingers.)
Her trembling voice is charming.
She's very beautiful.
Can you say hi to the viewers?
Hello. I am actress Ha Seung Lee, and I am 25 years old.
(She debuted in 1999 through "Trap of Youth".)
(She appeared as Shim Eun Ha's lovely daughter Hye Rim.)
(She was an acting prodigy from an early age.)
(With a beautiful face,)
(she managed to play numerous roles.)
(She's a veteran actress with 21 years of experience.)
(As the seasoned actor, she entered the film industry too.)
("Ha Seung Lee of 'Trap of Youth' Gets the First Adult Lead Role")
("Shim Eun Ha's Daughter Ha Seung Lee Becomes A Lead Actress")
(We are thankful that she grew up well.)
(Ha Seung Lee is the exemplary child-actress-turned-adult actress.)
When you were singing, you seemed to greet Ro Woon.
Do you know each other?
In the past, we acted together in the drama...
"School 2017".
- I see. - Yes.
We were classmates.
You were classmates, but you didn't recognize her voice.
I actually voted for her.
She's got the voice I like.
It was very clear and lovely.
I didn't know she was so good at singing too.
Even when you were wearing the mask, you must've been happy to see him.
Yes. I kept looking at him.
He comforted you.
- He relaxed me. - Right.
But he didn't recognize your voice.
That's understandable.
(I am just joking.)
By the way, the panelists...
are very sharp.
Kai guessed her to be a former child actress. He's amazing.
She was in "Trap of Youth" as Shim Eun Ha's daughter.
It's not easy to let go of yourself...
while singing.
Seeing that,
I realized she must be someone who's gained...
experience over a long period of time,
regardless of her current age.
That's why I suspected her to be a former child actress.
I voted for her.
Her emotion was unusually great.
She expressed her emotion in a humble way.
The song felt warm.
Right. We have no doubt that you will be a great actress.
She successfully completed the song she prepared as her assignment.
Please give it up for Ha Seung Lee.
(We will cheer for Seung Lee's promising future.)
Thank you.
(Well done.)
Tomorrow Is First Day of Classes beat the actress Ha Seung Lee...
and made it to Round Two.
This is the third match of Round One.
Can you sing instead of talking?
I Didn't Ask, And I Don't Want to Know.
TMI.
(I Didn't Ask, And I Don't Want to Know, TMI)
I had breakfast to become the masked king.
(Listen to me.)
(We will listen to everything.)
What does "anmul angung" mean?
It means "I didn't ask, and I don't want to know."
Too Much Information.
Doesn't he look like a comedian?
Contending against him is...
I want my singing to be recognized.
You admit that it's good? Yes, I do.
Admit.
(You admit that it's good? Yes, I do)
The throne is mine. Admit it.
I know you admit it.
(Do we admit him to be the future masked king?)
(They are excited.)
Admit.
He looks to be talented.
He's got a fit body.
I bet he's an idol singer.
(The two masked singer whose styles are trendy and new)
(What kind of unique performance will they give?)
(TMI makes you want to know more about him,)
(and Admit got a popular slang as his nickname.)
("After We Broke" by Shin Sung Woo)
(They chose a popular song back in the 90s.)
(How will these two men sing this song about a breakup?)
I think he's an athlete.
(TMI expresses his nervous feelings...)
(not so skillfully but sincerely.)
(Amazed)
(Admit's refreshing voice...)
(softly captures your ears.)
(His sorrowful feelings touch your heart.)
(Who is he?)
(TMI sings with all his heart.)
(The sad, old memories...)
(that come back after a breakup)
(I hope you're doing well, my love.)
(This is great.)
TMI sounds young and green.
(He calmly confesses his feelings...)
(to his loved one for the last time.)
(Goodbye)
(I will pray for you now)
("After We Broke", a young and sad confession)
(That was lovely.)
That was really good.
(The song still lingers in their ears.)
I wonder who they are.
The third match...
of Round One is now over.
It was a match between...
two masked singers whose nicknames are TMI and Admit,
the new slangs.
Among the panelists,
we have a walking TMI.
Ho Young.
Yes, I talk too much.
Right.
They're wearing the same outfit,
but they styled it a little differently.
One of them...
tucked in his T-shirt...
on the front side.
One of them didn't tuck in his T-shirt at all.
It makes Admit look like a young person,
and it makes TMI look like an old person.
TMI's style and performance show that...
he doesn't care what others think.
- He's on his own path. - I see.
Even if he misses a beat, he doesn't care...
- as long as he's happy. - Right.
(He missed a beat, and he laughed a little while singing.)
(Chuckling)
That's why he seems like an honest man.
You think TMI pushes ahead with his own style.
That's right. As for Admit,
he arouses curiosity.
When he walked in at first,
most of us said that he looked like...
an idol singer.
But when he started singing,
we all looked at Yoon Seok because...
- Why? - he sounded like a rock musician.
Admit sounded like a rock musician.
But as he continued to sing,
his voice sounded very soft,
like a ballad singer.
That's what made me curious about him.
- I see. - Admit has...
- such great breathing techniques. - He does?
He doesn't breathe out completely when he sings.
He saves a bit of his breath.
On the other hand, TMI's upper body is...
a lot more developed than his lower body.
After the performance,
I also saw him shaking his body.
That's why I think he's an athlete.
Maybe a judo player or a wrestler.
A judo player or a wrestler?
You think he's an athlete.
We have three female panelists today.
Let's see whose voice they liked better.
I don't think it's just us women.
I think even the male panelists...
probably voted for the same person.
So it doesn't matter...
- if you're a guy or a girl? - You see,
it was pretty clear that they were on different levels.
If Admit were...
a pretty dog whose hair has been trimmed,
- TMI would be... - Yes?
I'm not saying that he's not charming,
- Okay. - but...
but it's like he's from the wild.
From the wild?
He's like Kian84. He's an unaffected...
and honest man, and I think he's very cool.
TMI is charming in that kind of way.
- He's like Kian84? - Yes.
I think Admit is...
an idol singer.
- You do? - Yes.
When idol singers learn how to sing with a head voice,
our teachers tend to make hand gestures like this.
When Admit was singing,
he also made a hand gesture.
(While singing softly,)
(he made a hand gesture.)
(There!)
- He seemed like an idol singer. - Gosh.
You caught that?
As for TMI,
he was...
TMI?
Did he make any hand gestures?
I did like his performance.
He seems to be in his late 20s. Mid to late 20s.
Well, that's it.
- That's it? - Yes.
He did great.
- He seems to be in his late 20s? - Yes.
That's it? You have no idea what his profession is?
I think he's a broadcaster.
Just a broadcaster?
(He has a profession now.)
All right. Let's check out their specialties.
Firstly, TMI will let you hear his actual voice.
He will imitate Kwon Sang Woo's voice. Go ahead.
Hey, Gu Ra!
You think you can take anyone in a fight?
Come up to the rooftop.
- That's it. - He's a comedian.
He has to be a comedian.
- That's it. - He's a comedian.
- I think he's a comedian. - No.
- I don't think so. - I'm sure he's not.
Some of you seem to disagree.
One more voice imitation.
Apparently, TMI is a fan of Chani's.
He watched all episodes...
of "Sky Castle".
He'll imitate the voice of Woo Joo, Chani's character in the drama.
It's a scene where Woo Joo is angry...
about Hye Na's wrongful death.
Woo Joo's lines in that scene. TMI, let us hear it.
(Concentrating on the emotion)
(Hye Na's wrongful death makes Woo Joo's anger explode.)
"Why did Hye Na have to die?"
"Why?"
(Embarrassed)
(That was good.)
It shows that he watched the drama many times.
He did imitate me very well.
- Was it good? - Yes. He imitated...
my breathing in a detailed way.
Right? That was the key.
He will imitate another line of Woo Joo's.
- He studied that character a lot. - He's a big fan.
- He studied it very much. - Yes.
This time, it's a scene where Woo Joo gets framed,
and the police arrests him.
- He must like that drama so much. - You remember that scene, right?
(It's a scene where he explodes with anger and resentment.)
(Sobbing)
"I really didn't do it."
"It's not me!"
- That's it. - Right.
It was good, right?
Yes, it was detailed as well.
I put stress on, "It wasn't me."
He also did it.
He clearly watched the drama many times.
I really think he's a comedian.
Comedians know the current trends very well.
They have to catch the trends quickly.
Don't you think he's a comedian?
Gu Ra seems to believe that he's a comedian,
but Tae Ho and Bong Sun don't seem to agree with him.
I'm reminded of someone.
Who is it?
H.
- I'm suggesting... - H?
a deal, Seong Ju.
- H. - H?
H?
(Laughing)
Bong Sun, Bong Sun.
It seems right.
Please keep it to yourself.
I get what you mean.
Let me suggest a deal too.
- What? - D.
Do as you like.
- All right. - Let's move onto Admit.
He'll let you hear his real voice too.
This is from the recent trendy movie,
"Extreme Job".
Lee Soon Jae and Zion.T...
visit Ryu Seung Ryong's fried chicken restaurant...
as customers.
He'll mimic the restaurant owner's voice first.
- It sounds fun. - Please show us how you do it.
There wasn't any taste like this before.
Galbi-flavored fried chicken in Suwon. Welcome.
He's good.
His soundbox is extraordinary.
Soon Jae tries some of the fried chicken.
What's his comment?
(Savoring)
What's wrong with its taste?
How yucky.
(He's good.)
Doesn't he seem like an actor?
Zion.T, who's next to him, enjoys it.
What will he say?
It's delicious
Delicious
It's not deep-fried
All right.

What is this song?

It's a nice song.
("Fly, Chick" by N.EX.T)
(Oops, I got it wrong.)
(You're silly.)
It's nice.
His voice sounds familiar.

(He braces himself again and continues with singing.)
I think I know him.

(It was pleasant because they could feel his sincerity.)
- Goodness. - This is crazy.
H was him?
(Laughing)
Please say hello to the viewers.
Hello, I'm a former pro gamer and a current entertainer.
I'm Hong Jin Ho. It's nice to see you.
(It's nice to see you.)
(He's the 1st-generation pro gamer.)
(This legendary gamer was once called the Storm Zerg.)
(He appeared in "The Genius" in 2013.)
(With his competitive spirit and smart brain,)
(he became the final winner and left quite an impression.)
(His unusual lisping pronunciation...)
(helped him take over variety shows.)
(He even pronounced his name, "Kong" Jin Ho.)
You talk very fast.
That's right, so you need to put up subtitles.
(He was nicknamed Number 2 when he was still a pro gamer.)
(Later, he turned it into his character...)
(and succeeded in his 2nd career.)
(He's Hong Jin Ho, the everlasting adventurer.)
As far as I know, you practiced a lot for today.
I feel like I've become a wreck.
You weren't so good at singing,
but you were charming.
But seriously,
I practiced for a long time.
None of you will believe how long I practiced.
I started practicing since last November.
You did practice for a long time.
You actually did.
Singing is very difficult for me.
It's like an inferiority complex.
I refused the offer politely at first.
I thought it wasn't for someone like me.
That it's not the show I should be appearing in.
So I refused at first,
but later I came to think I shouldn't avoid this forever.
I kept on agonizing over it...
and decided to get over my fear...
since it was the new year.
And my first target was singing.
I took my courage...
and gave it a go.
I'm regretting a little now.
Please don't. You did a good job.
(You did well.)
When Bong Sun mentioned your initial,
I knew she noticed your identity. Was it him you meant, Bong Sun?
Of course. I meant him.
Here's what I'm impressed.
I had no idea he was this bad at singing.
- Well... - But I need to tell you this.
When I was a pro gamer,
I was never nervous even when I had to play...
in front of tens of thousands of people.
But today, ever since I entered the stage,
my face was covered with sweat behind the mask.
I was so nervous.
(He was too nervous to show his ability.)
As I practiced,
I thought my ability was improving little by little.
- You did? - So...
- You thought it'd work out. - I thought...
it would be all right to aim higher.
So...
- I rehearsed with Admit beforehand. - Yes, we know that.
During the rehearsal, I checked how the match would go.
I was like...
It was a singer.
There was a singer.
- He's a great singer, right? - Yes.
I want either all or nothing.
I give up quickly when there is no hope.
So I gave up.
You did your best.
I was wishing I could get at least 10 votes.
I got more votes than I expected.
Who voted for me? Why did you vote for me?
(Laughing)
We confirmed the identity of 1 person among the 19 voters.
- Really? - Yes.
- Tae Ho voted for you. - Yes.
Why did you vote for him?
I voted for him, thinking about how I was when I was a contestant.
That's why.
So it was a sympathy vote.
It wasn't a sympathy vote. Your innocence touched my heart.
- You were touched by his passion. - Exactly.
That's what's charming about him.
Actually, seeing him...
finishing the song...
and his desire to overcome his inferiority complex...
made me realize he's a cool person once again.
It was cool indeed.
(Thank you!)
He stood up to his fear of singing.
Please give him a round of applause!
Thank you.
