This is the first match of Round One.
He's got the special voice you just can't ignore.
How Many Will You Eat?
(How Many Will You Eat? Walnut Cake)
Come and listen to my song.
(It's here.)
(Warm walnut cake is here.)
I absolutely love walnut cake.
I am on a diet, but I am really craving for walnut cake.
I started going on a diet today but I think it's going to fail.
Contending against him is this masked singer.
Let me show you my extraordinary talent.
Nothing Ever Tasted This Good.
Is This Sausage or Rice Cake?
SRSR.
(Nothing Ever Tasted This Good Is This Sausage or Rice Cake? SRSR)
I will take over the throne in one bite.
(Eat the sausage and rice cake in one bite.)
(It's yummy.)
I don't know what to eat.
I can't decide.
When you come out like that, we can't figure out who you are.
(The specialties of rest stops have hidden their identities.)
(Nam Tae Hyun, Kim Won Hyo)
(Will these two appetizing singers...)
(Jiho and Hyojung)
(be able to capture our ears?)
(Only think about me.)
(What performance will Walnut Cake, that's delicious to resist,)
(and SRSR, whose flavors are mouthwatering, give?)
("Can I Love Again" by 4MEN and Park Jung Eun)
They will compete with emotions on the first match of Round One.
(She's excited.)
(She's impressed.)
(Walnut Cake's voice is as sweet as red bean paste.)
It's lovely.
(SRSR continues the performance with a husky voice.)
Both of them are definitely singers.
("Can I Love Again" performed by a clear voice and a husky voice.)
Yes, you can. You can love again.
Can I love again?
The first match of Round One is now over.
Young Seok, which rest stop snack do you prefer?
What's your choice?
Since they chose names of the foods that are...
popular and familiar as their nicknames,
I was expecting a cheerful performance.
I didn't know their performance would be this serious.
Is Walnut Cake from Cheonan?
(Laughing)
What a simple thought process.
- He's either from Cheonan or... - He thinks he's from Cheonan.
He thinks he might be from Cheonan.
He has such an attractive voice though.
When you're on an express bus and...
find the person sitting next to you is eating walnut cakes,
even though that person is a stranger,
you become tempted to reach for the walnut cakes, don't you?
He's got that kind of voice.
(I want to have some walnut cake.)
It's so good that I could pick it off the floor and eat it.
I see. That's just how good his voice was.
But he's got a formidable opponent.
- You must be talking about SRSR. - SRSR.
If I eat a lot of SRSR, can I be a good singer like you?
(Are they masters of music?)
Oh, my gosh.
(It's so cold.)
So this is the kind of joke he likes.
SRSR is made with two different ingredients.
Just like that, her voice is husky and powerful at the same time.
She's got a very attractive voice.
And she's got great skills on top of that.
It was a killer performance.
(Thank you.)
- Won Hyo. - Yes?
How did you like the performance?
As Walnut Cake started the performance,
I liked his voice.
But then I fell in love with SRSR's voice.
The sticks on her mask don't look like a skewer.
They look like hairpins to me.
(Her gorgeous voice makes the skewers look like hairpins.)
Do you think both of them are professional singers?
- Yes, they are. - Are they professional singers?
They're definitely ballad singers.
- Both of them? - Yes.
So you think they are ballad singers.
- Yes, Gu Ra? - I'd like to say a few words.
I sensed a little bit of Red Sun vibe,
but I don't think she's her.
She's an experienced and seasoned singer.
- She's experienced in this field? - Yes.
- She's seasoned. - Yes. And as for him...
(And as for Walnut Cake...)
- I feel bad for him. - Why?
He's unlucky to be facing her.
- He's unlucky to be facing her? - Yes.
- She's too good a match for him? - That's correct.
- We don't know the result yet. - No, we don't.
- It's Gu Ra's personal opinion. - We don't know the result yet.
I hope there's no misunderstanding.
It's just Gu Ra's gut feeling.
Although he has many walnut cakes on his costume,
I think SRSR will be the winner.
That's what I think. I feel bad for him.
Well, it is true...
that SRSR had a powerful energy that overwhelms you.
Her performance was awesome.
But Walnut Cookie was...
Walnut Cookie?
Walnut Cake was...
like walnut cakes...
- that was made of pancake mix. - Bong Sun.
- Yes. - "Walnut Cookie" can be misleading.
- Okay. - It's "Walnut Cake".
- Walnut Cake. - It's not "Walnut Cookie".
I'd love to ride my motorbike to go buy walnut cookies.
- Excuse me. - Yes.
- Excuse me. - Yes?
I pointed out your mistake. You're supposed to accept it.
Okay.
Is it that upsetting to you?
- It was just a mistake. - I only pointed it out twice.
I'm not upset.
Your face is all red now.
He's a little strict.
I'm going to be honest with you. I voted for Walnut Cake.
- You did? - Yes, I loved his performance.
I think he's an idol singer.
- What do you think? - I think...
he's not a new idol singer.
- He debuted 7 or 8 years ago. - 7 or 8 years ago?
He just started to work as a solo artist,
but he's a little nervous.
- I see. - That's the feeling I got.
Tae Hyun, I think he's your age. What do you think?
I don't know if I can say it now,
but I'm allergic to walnuts.
Oh, no.
Oh, no. You're allergic to walnuts of all things?
He's so unlucky today.
- He's not lucky... - He lost one vote.
with his opponent and panelist.
I also agree that he's an idol singer.
His voice sounded very young.
And I think he was a little nervous.
When I was on the show as a contender, I was very nervous too.
I think Walnut Cake got nervous too.
- You sensed his nervousness. - I think he is...
the youngest member of his group.
- He's the youngest member? - Yes.
We have a music expert as a panelist today.
It's her first visit to our show.
Meet Kim Ea Na, the great lyric writer.
- Welcome. - Hello, I'm Kim Ea Na.
Welcome.
What do you think about the match?
We've been talking about how he's unlucky with his opponent.
The name of my personal category...
I would place Walnut Cake's vocal tone is...
- dawn tone. - "Dawn tone"?
His voice is clear...
and pure.
Her description sounds professional.
- A masked singer with a dawn tone. - It's not a professional term.
- What about her? - As for SRSR,
- I call her tone, sunset tone. - "Sunset tone".
It's the same sunlight, but it's more ripened.
It makes you feel sad...
and sentimental.
Such a vocal tone makes you emotional.
Personally, I prefer dawn tone.
But when it comes to competitions,
sunset tone usually has the high ground.
So you agree that he's unlucky with his opponent.
The description makes it easy to understand.
I think I was leaning toward the sunset tone today.
(Walnut Cake and SRSR paint the sky with their own colors.)
All right.
Now, they're going to show their specialties...
to help you guess their identities better.
Let's start with SRSR. She says...
she's a belly dance expert.
- I can see that. - She's pretty old.
Belly dance. Doesn't it suit her?
Our celebrity panelists have sharp eyes.
Let's see her belly dance. Please cue the music.
(Shaking)
(She can freely move her hips.)
You need to be able to move your pelvis very quickly.
(Impressed)
That's it.
(That was amazing!)
That was great.
Seong Ju, when she shakes her belly,
pick up the sound with the microphone.
- With the microphone? - Yes.
- Like this? - Yes.
All right.
That's funny. Yes.
She's good.
Wait.
(Shake it.)
- I don't think she's a shy person. - Right.
- I think she's in her late 30s. - Really?
- Yes. - Her late 30s?
When she put that belt around her waist,
I could see that she has experience in wrapping things in cloth.
She seemed very dexterous.
- When she tied the knot? - Yes.
She didn't tie it roughly.
She tied the knot and the bow very tightly.
Also, she didn't want those coins to be entangled,
so she tapped on her belly.
That's something that older women often do in public bathhouses.
I think she's in her late 30s at least.
- At least. - So you think she could be...
older than what you thought previously.
This time, Walnut Cake will show you human vaulting.
Here is what he's going to do.
He will vault over a person who is standing up.
He'll touch their shoulders, jump up, and vault over them.
- I guess you need volunteers. - Of course.
We'll give you Ho Young for warm-up.
Ho Young is good, but someone who is...
about 180cm tall would be better.
- 180cm? - 180cm.
- Tae Hyun? - Tae Hyun will do it.
- Tae Hyun. - Please come here.
(Yes!)
Ho Young.
- Yes? - May I ask how tall you are?
No, you may not.
- He doesn't want to tell us. - My gosh.
Level one. Walnut Cake will jump up, vault over Ho Young,
and land over here. Yes.
All right. Walnut Cake's human vaulting.
Let's begin!
(He won't tumble over Ho Young's head, right?)
(It seems like an incredibly tough challenge.)
(He effortlessly pulls it off.)
Nice!
- Nice! - Great!
He did it so easily.
- That was amazing. - Are you okay?
- I'm fine. - You were surprised, right?
No, I wasn't surprised. He jumped over me so lightly.
- Lightly? - He barely touched me.
Right.
He passed level one.
Level two. It's Tae Hyun who is over 180cm tall.
Walnut Cake's human vaulting. Let's go!
Here we go!
(Shutting his eyes tightly)
(Is he going to succeed?)
(He pulls it off effortlessly once again.)
Here we go!
(He did it without a long run-up.)
He made it.
Are you all right?
- It hurts. - It hurts? Were you surprised?
He jumped over me really gently though.
Right.
Gosh, that was amazing.
Let's give it up for him.
- For Ho Young and Tae Hyun as well. - That was incredible.
Walnut Cake vaulted over Ho Young...
and Tae Hyun.
Gosh, you're so good at this.
I want to talk about their performance.
Most people think that the best harmony is created...
when the guy sounds manly...
and the girl sounds feminine.
But personally, I like it better when the situation is reversed.
I like the combination of a man with a mellow voice...
and a girl with a husky voice.
That's why I really enjoyed their performance.
I really loved it.
All right. I will now announce...
the result of the first match of Round One.
These two masked singers...
turned this spring evening into an emotional night in autumn.
Between Walnut Cake and SRSR,
who will win this match...
and advance to Round Two? Let's find out now!
(Walnut Cake sang sorrowfully...)
(with his young and refreshing voice.)
(SRSR gave an intense performance...)
(with her husky voice.)
Who will win this match...
and become the first one to move on to Round Two?
The winner is...
- The winner is... - The winner is...
(Who will it be?)
(The one person who captivated the audience)
(Who is it?)
Who did the audience choose as the winner of this match?
- The winner is... - The winner is...
The winner is...
Who is it?
(SRSR wins.)
The winner is SRSR.
(SRSR is the best snack in rest stops.)
(She's the best.)
Oh, no.
SRSR is the winner.
The score is 64 to 35.
With a score of 64 to 35,
SRSR won this match.
Please go back to your waiting room.
Let's give her a big hand.
SRSR advances to Round Two.
You'll remember me in Round Two as well, right?
Who could this man be?
Let's find out his identity...
with a solo performance.
Please give him a big round of applause!
(His identity will be revealed now.)
(A voice that sounds great at dawn)
(An idol singer with 7 to 8 years of experience?)
("Believe" by TVXQ)
(I love it already.)
I'm in love with his voice.
I really like this song!
(It sounds so mellow.)
(He sings softly with his beautiful voice.)
(Impressed)
- We believe it. - We believe it.
(His sweet voice turns everyone into his fan.)
(This is great.)
Now,
Walnut Cake, please take off your mask...
and reveal your face!
Who is he?
He is...
(Oh, my gosh.)
(That kind of reaction means...)
(Shouting excitedly)
What is it? Who is he?
He is...
the great vocalist of Golden Child, the boy band with 10 members,
Y!
(Walnut Cake was Y?)
(Golden Child)
Y?
Gosh, he's handsome.
(The female audience is thrilled.)
(He's dashing.)
(He has a beautiful voice that shines like a star...)
(and sounds enchanting and warm.)
He's handsome.
(Y sang "Believe" with his pure and clear voice.)
How sweet.
His voice sounds so sweet.
He has a great voice.
We were all wrong.
(Laughing)
Please say hello to our viewers.
Hello. I'm Y, the second oldest member...
of Golden Child.
All right.
(Golden Child made their debut with "DamDaDi".)
(Y has an energetic, golden voice.)
(He's the perfect version of a lead vocalist.)
(With his great physical ability, he became a gold medalist...)
(twice in a row in "Idol Star Athletics Championships".)
(This idol singer has got some outstanding physical abilities.)
("Golden Child's Popularity Continues in Japan")
(They're receiving a lot of love even in Japan.)
(An emotional voice full of sincerity)
(Y of Golden Child will color the music industry in gold.)
I heard you walked across the Han River Bridge...
before deciding to come on this show.
Can you tell us a bit about it?
I got off the subway at Yeongdeungpo-gu Office Station.
It was then that my manager called and asked me...
if I was willing to appear in this program.
Of course, I was happy to be invited,
but I was burdened for various reasons as well.
I ended up walking from Yeongdeungpo-gu Office Station...
to Mapo-gu Office Station, as I contemplated on it,
- walking across the Yanghwa Bridge. - So it was Yanghwa Bridge.
(It's more than an hour's distance.)
I walked alone
I was very nervous, to be honest.
You know, Jang Dong Woo of INFINITE...
made his appearance on this show...
and had fun here.
That left a strong impression on me.
I wanted to enjoy and have fun like he did.
But it's a shame...
that I didn't get to do it.
- It indeed was nerve-racking. - I was very nervous.
Being handsome, tall...
and having good pronunciation...
aren't the only qualities that make a good actor.
It's the same when it comes to music.
You need the charm that pulls the heartstrings of the audience.
I think he has potential in that sense.
I'm glad he decided to come on this show.
(He knows how to move people's hearts.)
Ea Na, you said he's got the voice of dawn that you personally like.
- Right. - Are you willing to...
work with him if there is any chance in the future?
For your information, I offered my lyrics...
and was rejected once.
Is this true?
Why did you reject it?
- I know nothing about this. - It wasn't the members.
It was President Lee that turned me down.
If he's watching this show,
I'd like to tell him this. "Stop rejecting already."
(Please deliver my message.)
I didn't know there was such an incident.
You must really like his type of voice.
Thank you.
Y was able to overcome the pressure...
and successfully pull off his performance today.
Please give him a big hand.
(We're rooting for Y of Golden Child.)
(Good job.)
I didn't expect to receive...
such a huge applause.
The moment I took off the mask, I felt so lighthearted.
It was fun.
Actually, my father was against the idea...
of me becoming a singer.
I hope this will be a chance...
for him to feel proud of me...
by watching me on this show.
Dad, your son is...
on your favorite show, The King of Mask Singer.
If you're watching this, I hope you're enjoying it.
I hope that you'll be proud of me.
I love you, Dad.
Here's the result of Round One so far.
Nothing Ever Tasted This Good. Is This Sausage or Rice Cake?
SRSR won against Y of Golden Child...
and advanced to Round Two.
It's the second match of Round One.
"Do you want to beat me?"
Drop with a Thud,
Spring Rain.
(Drop with a Thud, Spring Rain)
I'll wash off the fine dust...
with my voice.
(Prim and chic)
(The audience is already soaked into her.)
(Spring Rain makes me cry)
My heart is soaked through already.
Against her...
is the masked singer with a voice that awakens spring.
Spring, Spring, Spring Is Here
Spring Flower.
(Spring, Spring, Spring Is Here, Spring Flower)
My season has finally come.
(Didn't you miss me?)
(We've missed you.)
How pretty.
It's spring versus spring.
Kai loves flowers.
(That's right.)
(I love flowers too.)
(It's the match between the two spring ladies.)
(At the end of the long winter,)
(which spring lady...)
(will warmly greet the audience?)
(Spring Rain who will moisten their hearts?)
(Or Spring Flower who will attract them with her sweet scent?)
(The song starts with a familiar prelude.)
It's IU's song.
("Friday" by IU)
(Spring Flower's voice is soft and cozy.)
(Spring Rain's voice sounds attractive.)
(Amazed)
- I have a lot of time. - I'm free.
(I have my eyes on you.)
(He loves it.)
(Their charms are similar but different.)
(And their harmony is warm like spring.)
It's spring from now on.
(His heart skips a beat.)
(House Band)
(Friday for certain!)
I'm available even on Saturday and Sunday.
(Come quick, Friday.)
(Her sweet voice is enchanting.)
(I love you)
(With her refreshing falsetto,)
(she plays with the melody.)
(Their harmony feels like spring has come a step closer.)
(How warm.)
(Their performance marks the beginning of spring.)
(It's so lovely.)
(Spring has come.)
Gosh, flowers are blooming.
It's totally spring.
The second match of Round One ended.
Hyun Chul, tell us what you think.
Spring Rain's voice is much oilier.
- Her voice is oily? - Yes.
I see.
On the other hand, Spring Flower's voice is completely oil-free.
It's like a frying pan versus an air fryer.
(That's easy to understand.)
Spring Flower sounds like she's wearing braces.
How does it sound like?
She pronounces "s"...
- like "th". - I see.
(Tuesday)
(Sounds too hasty)
- It makes her voice cuter. - Oh, gosh.
It's a huge charm of hers.
If it turns out she's actually wearing braces,
it'll be crazy.
We should acknowledge him for guessing it right.
- All right. - He should become a dentist.
Ho Young, what do you think?
I'm going to use makeup as an example.
Oh, I see.
When spring comes,
women wear different makeups.
In that sense, Spring Rain...
might be wearing a blusher and lipstick...
with an orange-red color.
Orange-red?
She's a bit provocative,
but cute at the same time.
That's the kind of makeup that comes to my mind.
As for Spring Flower,
her makeup might be mixed with pink and peach colors...
which makes her look feminine and lovely.
I could tell those characteristics from their voices.
- I see. - When it's spring,
we tend to drink a lot of tea.
Won Hyo is coming up with a new analogy.
I expected Spring Rain to be calm,
- but she was like peppermint, - I see.
which is fragrant and minty.
On the other hand, Spring Flower was like chamomile.
- Chamomile? - Yes.
- Delicate chamomile. - Chamomile.
Let me take Korean pancakes...
- as an example then. - Hold on a second.
Is this a war of figure of speech?
- I want to share my take. - I think we heard enough.
I can't sit here doing nothing.
People could be reminded of different things.
Let's hear what kind of jeon they are.
Spring Rain is kimchi jeon,
which is red jeon with slices of Cheongyang peppers.
She has spices.
Spring Flower is cabbage jeon,
which is bland and addictive.
Cabbage jeon. That's good.
Let's narrow down on the guesses.
- Tae Hyun. - I think...
I know who Spring Flower is.
You think you know who she is.
- Who is she? - Tae Hyun.
- I think she is Lee Sung Kyoung. - She was on the show.
- Really? - You need my help.
- I see. - Lee Sung Kyoung was on the show.
Does she seem like an actress?
I have a feeling that she is an actress.
Judging from the way she sings, she has rhinitis.
Rhinitis.
She wears braces and shows symptoms of rhinitis.
(He guessed that she has rhinitis.)
Let's check out their specialties.
Spring Flower has a unique specialty.
She will show us Finger Dance, which is the talk of the town.
It's really hard.
Spring Flower's Finger Dance. Music, please.
(Unfolding)
(She moves her hands to the beat.)
(What is this?)
All right.
What a sight!
(How many fingers does she have?)
(She wraps up with a heart.)
She wrapped up with a heart.
- It touched my heart. - It's the talk of the town.
(Spring Flower captivated everyone's attention.)
You know,
the elderly practice moving their fingers...
to prevent Alzheimer's disease.
- It's nice, right? - It's very nice.
- Can she do more? - Like what?
Can she make a dog or a kite with shadows?
Like this?
It's an old specialty.
Let's say it's retro.
Fine. Let's try it.
Show us a dog's face.
- A dog. - A dog's face.
Is that it?
This is how you do it.
People do it differently these days. We didn't do this.
We did this.
I did this.
We did this. We did this.
That's it.
That's what we did.
(Back in the day, they did this.)
(Shadow puppets)
(An owl)
There is a generation gap.
Her specialty was incredible.
Now, it's Spring Rain's turn.
You will hear Spring Rain's real voice.
She will imitate Lena Park with her real voice.
(Curious)
Let's hear it.
(I know)
(This is a dream)
Let's end it here.
(She is good.)
I think she is an idol singer.
This time, she will imitate Yeh Suh's sister,
Ye Bin.
- Ye Bin. - This is what Ye Bin says...
when she is mad at her mom.
Let's hear Ye Bin's voice.
Mom, you are less than human.
(Laughing)
You are less than human.
Get out.
All right.
She got the details right.
Bong Sun can do it.
Bong Sun, can you do it?
Dad, you are less than human.
(Laughing)
Let out.
(She says another popular line.)
(Bong Sun never disappoints.)
(Proud)
Yoon Sang, did the specialties change your mind?
I voted for Spring Flower...
because she possesses innocence...
that can't be made up.
I think she could be someone who started out as an actress.
I can't wait to see the result.
All right.
It's time to announce the result of the second match of Round One.
We have two contenders with a voice like a spring breeze,
but the match is ruthless like a biting wind.
I will now reveal...
the winner of the match.
(Like a spring rain that awakens the world,)
(Spring Rain showed her liting voice and a sense of rhythm.)
(Like a flower that blooms in spring,)
(Spring Flower's voice was pure and clear.)
Between Spring Rain and Spring Flower,
who was chosen by the audience?
- The winner is... - The winner is...
The winner is...
(The winner who will announce the start of spring is...)
(Who will it be?)
Who is the winner?
- The winner is... - The winner is...
Who is the winner?
(Drop with a Thud, Spring Rain won.)
Spring Rain won.
(Fall some more.)
(It's not spring unless spring rain falls.)
(Spring Flower, thank you for coming.)
Spring Rain beat Spring Flower.
With a final score...
of 60 to 39,
Spring Rain moves on to Round Two.
Please go back to your waiting room. Give her a round of applause.
(Spring Flower's identity will be revealed.)
The audience chose Spring Rain.
Look forward to my moist performance.
A lot of people rooted for Spring Flower.
Who could she be?
We will reveal her identity with a solo performance.
Give her a round of applause.
An air fryer.
(Who could Spring Flower be?)
("We Used to Love" by LYn)
It's a song by LYn.
"We Used to Love".
She chose a song that suits her well.
It's nice.
(Spring Flower's choice of a song heightens their expectations.)
(Spring Flower's beautiful voice awes everyone from the start.)
Her voice suits the song.
I know.
(Desperation colors her delicate voice.)
Now,
Spring Flower, please take off your mask...
and reveal your face.
(My goodness!)
The audience is shocked.
(What?)
What is it?
Spring Flower, please take off your mask...
and reveal your face.
She is...
a talented vocalist...
from a cute and cheerful girl group.
It's Jang Gyu Ri of fromis_9.
My goodness.
(Screaming)
She is a girl group member.
(She isn't an actress.)
I got goosebumps. Can you see them?
(She is as pure as her voice.)
(We are so happy!)
(Gyu Ri's song carries the scent of spring.)
(They become more immersed in the performance.)
(Stop looking at Gyu Ri and answer my phone.)
(Singing)
(Her sentimental performance charms everyone.)
(With a voice that resembles a spring flower,)
(she opened everyone's heart.)
(A performance with a pretty voice, "We Used to Love" by Gyu Ri)
- My goodness. - It was really nice.
I love her voice.
She freshened up the set. The fine dust disappeared.
Please say hello to the viewers.
Hello, I am Gyu Ri, of fromis_9.
(In 2017, she became known through "Idol School".)
(She got picked as 1 of the 9 debuting members.)
(Then she debuted as the lead vocalist of fromis_9.)
(She made an unexpected move after her debut.)
(She became a trainee again.)
(She decided to take some time to grow up.)
(She won people's favor showing her resolute determination.)
(After "Produce 48", she returned to her team.)
(She's becoming popular with the song, "Love Bomb".)
(She has a lovely smile that looks like a cute puppy.)
(And she has a clear and attractive voice.)
(She's a happy virus, Jang Gyu Ri.)
Let's check this out.
Are you wearing braces?
Yes, I am.
She is.
Kim Hyun Chul!
Hyun Chul.
(He has a great reasoning power.)
He knew she was wearing braces.
My goodness. That's amazing.
Let me check one more thing.
Do you have rhinitis?
They talked about rhinitis.
Do you really have rhinitis?
(No way.)
(Please!)
- I have rhinitis. - She does.
(Yes!)
The panelists are so good.
It's not that they're idly sitting there.
They are like doctors.
Guys, you should take a health check from them...
after the show.
They will do it for free.
They are unbelievable.
Gyu Ri has a special experience.
She made her debut...
as a member of fromis_9 through a TV audition show.
Even after she joined the band,
she appeared in an audition show again.
Right.
Wasn't it hard for you?
(Why did she become a trainee again?)
(It wasn't an easy decision for her.)
It's been almost two years since my debut.
And I've always wanted to make fromis_9 more famous.
So I decided to become a trainee again...
and joined the audition show so I could learn more.
She thought it would be a good chance for her to improve herself.
I see.
She works really hard.
Yoon Sang, I wonder...
if you could see her efforts while she sang a duet.
She sings very well.
Thank you.
I just thought she was an actress...
because of her dress.
When actresses appear in our show,
they usually wear fancy dresses like that.
I just had one simple reason.
That's bias.
I'll keep trying to overcome the bias.
At first, Yoon Sang thought...
she was a singer.
But I told him she was an actress.
You did?
I said that because it sounded like...
she was speaking her lines as she sang.
That's why I thought she might be an actress.
If someone says she sings as if she's talking,
I think that's the best compliment for a singer.
It means she digests the lyrics and makes them her own lines.
- That's her strength, right? - Sure.
It's well delivered.
With her lovely voice,
she lit up the studio of The King of Mask Singer today.
Please give Gyu Ri a round of applause.
(We will look forward to seeing you more often.)
I liked that they called me an air fryer.
They meant my song isn't oily,
but it still tastes great.
I'm glad that they recognized it.
The members noticed that I'd be here.
They asked me to promise this.
I have to pass Round One...
and have my hair not flattened from the mask.
They told me to promise that.
But I failed to keep one of the promises.
I'm sorry, guys.
Spring, Spring, Spring Is Here,
Spring Flower is me, Gyu Ri of fromis_9.
Please love and support fromis_9.
This is the third match of Round One.
Dong Hyun, I'm going to be The King of Mask Singer today.
Cutie Pie, Kim Gu Ra.
(Cutie Pie, Kim Gu Ra)
The King of Mask Singer is great.
(I'm Gu Ra.)
(Good gracious!)
What?
Gosh, what's that?
He walks like Gu Ra.
And he has a build similar to Gu Ra.
He does look like me.
Here's his opponent.
The winner is...
Almighty King of Mask Singer,
Kim Seong Ju.
(Almighty King of Mask Singer, Kim Seong Ju)
Let's begin the third match.
(The performance I prepared is...)
(We are curious.)
(Laughing)
He looks like Seong Ju.
This is an interesting match.
This is interesting.
I don't know who to root for.
(Do you like Gu Ra or Seong Ju?)
(It's more thrilling than ever.)
(Who will captivate the panelists' hearts?)
(Cutie Pie, Kim Gu Ra with unexpected charms?)
(The smooth talker, Almighty King of Mask Singer, Kim Seong Ju?)
It's a unique song.
("The Cult of Solo" by Lee Moon Sae)
(Kim Seong Ju starts singing with his pitchy voice.)
(That sounds nice.)
(Kim Gu Ra has an attractive low voice.)
(Exclaiming)
(Dancing around)
(Shouting)
(Kim Seong Ju is so good.)
(His unique voice catches the ears of the audience.)
(Kim Gu Ra shows off his soft charms, dancing to the rhythm.)
(Seong Ju sings along down the stage.)
(He's good.)
(Kim Seong Ju shows a lot of fun gestures.)
(An addictive duet performance of beautiful voices)
(Shouting)
(Excited)
Who are they?
(Kim Gu Ra and Kim Seong Ju are so energetic and cheerful.)
(I'm right here.)
(Everyone was able to enjoy their performance.)
(That was really cheerful.)
They're good.
I like it.
They know how to have fun.
The third duet match of Round One is over now.
Now that I get to call my own name,
I feel a little weird.
And the mask is made pretty well.
Where did you get this outfit?
It's Gu Ra's favorite style.
A plaid shirt and blue jeans.
While looking at his outfit,
I thought I should tell off my stylist.
When I look at myself as a third person,
the outfit doesn't look elaborate.
(He can see that only from afar.)
Does he look a lot like me, Gu Ra?
The mask looks like you.
I get startled when I look at him.
- He resembles me a lot. - Yes.
The masks are the best.
Good.
Young Seok, what did you think?
Just as the masks were amazing, I had never anticipated...
that much before they started to sing.
It was awesome.
Unexpectedly, they did a great job.
They did.
I think Kim Seong Ju is a singer.
- Is he a singer? - Yes.
I'm sure he is.
I think he's a trot singer.
- A trot singer? - Yes.
Especially, when he was very excited as he continued to sing,
he started...
to improvise on the song,
and I thought that was something...
that a lot of trot singers do.
Didn't you sense any trot songs from this Kim Gu Ra?
No. I felt that he was rather like a rocker.
- A rocker? - Yes, he was like a rocker.
I'd like Gu Ra to directly talk about the other Gu Ra.
I also want him to tell us whom he chose.
- Me? - Yes.
Actually,
Seong Ju is...
a very good singer.
He is a good dancer too.
This man or me?
That's why he became...
a freelancer confidently.
- He is that good. - Why...
Why do you say such a thing 10 years...
- after I became a freelancer? - He is a great singer and dancer.
- I like singing indeed. - He is really good.
And this man did so much better than I expected.
- He did. - No. I mean Kim Gu Ra over there.
He did a good job. I mean Gu Ra.
He was much better than me.
In fact, I picked Seong Ju.
You did?
You know...
it's not that pleasant to see a parody mask of myself.
So I wanted this to be...
his last performance here.
That's why I chose the other one.
I admit that I'm kind of cold.
And his pants are too tight.
That bothers me.
Are they your only pants?
I don't wear such tight pants.
(Pulling them down)
He says that's the different part.
Yes, that's the different part from me.
I think you have a lot to talk about the two contenders,
- Bong Sun. - Yes.
Kim... I mean, Cutie...
- Why can't I say that? - Cutie Pie, Kim Gu Ra.
Cutie Pie...
Why do you keep glancing cautiously...
while talking?
It's okay. That's not the real me.
Exactly. Be comfortable.
He has a very manly voice,
yet he sounded like a playful young boy as well.
So I liked it a lot.
In fact, I liked Cutie Pie, Kim Gu Ra's...
voice so much too.
It's like a sound from a big box.
My first impression was that he's a singer.
He even had a good sense of rhythm.
At the end of the song,
he finished perfectly to the beat like this.
(He got into the rhythm and...)
I liked that a lot.
Seong Ju sang it really well too.
His pronunciation sounded as if it was greased.
It seemed to glide.
- His words glided? - Yes.
He sounded like the master of push and pull.
He sang it that way.
And it has the feel of a trot song.
(The dynamics felt like that of a trot song.)
All right then,
it's time to show their specialties.
First, it's Kim Gu Ra's specialty.
He'll mimic the sound of a motorcycle.
That's the kind of specialty I hate the most.
Even the sound of a boat whistle, and the likes of it.
You are really bad at mimicking them.
I hate those kinds of things because I'm bad at doing it.
Motorcycle...
Thank you for doing it in my stead.
Kim Gu Ra,
please make the sound of a motorcycle.
What is this?
What is this? My goodness.
What is this?
(The sound of a motorcycle)
This is it.
That's a basic skill.
He is good.
(Let me try it too.)
Now, he'll make the sound of many motorcycles...
with Lee Eun Mee's voice.
Let us hear the sound of motorcycles.
The man
(One,)
(2, 3,)
(4, and 5 motorcycles)
(That was amazing.)
Everyone is cracking up.
He is fond of him.
- He can't hide that. - This time,
he'll make the sound of a motorcycle...
going uphill with Park Sang Min's voice.
Please start.
(In blue jeans)
(The sound of a motorcycle)
(Turns off the engine after it climbs to the top of Gu Ra's head.)
My goodness.
He resolved my long-standing frustration.
Your long-standing frustration about that skill.
- That was very funny. - It was.
We're motivated. I hope you'll do a good job. Go.
It's Kim Seong Ju's specialty now.
He will impersonate...
Seol Min Suk.
(Impersonating Seol Min Suk)
(His pronunciation is articulate,)
(and he has his own special accent.)
(Seol Min Suk)
Let us hear Min Suk's voice.
Hello, citizens...
who love our history.
I'm Seol Min Suk.
(He sounds just like Min Suk.)
(What a neat voice impression.)
They sound the same.
Nice.
(Kim Seong Ju is good too.)
The specialty you are about to see...
is a one-of-a-kind performance...
that had been done by Kim Gu Ra on "MBC Entertainment Awards".
(Exclaiming)
He will show us...
(Oh, that dance?)
- the exact dance Gu Ra danced. - He will?
I guess the clip of that scene will air.
(The highlight of "2016 MBC Entertainment Awards")
(Cutie pie Gu Ra as TWICE)
Gu Ra as TWICE.
(Twin Gu Ras as TWICE)
- Music, please. - "Gu Ra as TWICE".
(Moving in a cute way)
- He's good. - Cheer up, baby.
He is a good dancer.
(He is the real deal.)
(The upgraded version of Gu Ra as TWICE)
(I love Gu Ra as TWICE)
- He is a good dancer. - He is good.
(Let's pull it together.)
(I bet you're going to like Gu Ra as TWICE.)
(Flapping)
(His moves are cute.)
(He is doing very well.)
(What a cutie pie.)
He is so good.
He is really good.
He is certainly young.
I guess he is much younger than I thought.
I think he can do better if he sets his mind to it.
I still haven't forgotten...
his performance even though a few years have passed.
So could you dance with him?
Well... I wouldn't mind doing it, but...
- Then do it together. - It's not that hard to do.
Dance with him, Gu Ra.
It's not that difficult, but...
(Anticipating)
Contender Kim Seong Ju danced very well too.
- Why don't you dance in pairs? - Dance in teams.
(That will be fun.)
Music, please.
(The music starts.)
(Dancing cutely)
(They dance respectively.)
(Gu Ras as TWICE...)
(versus Seong Jus as TWICE)
(What are they doing?)
It's like old men are having a party.
(The twins look like old guys.)
(It's a mess.)
(Trying to act...)
(very cute)
(They've never seen such a scene.)
(It looks like only two of them are really dancing.)
(Posing for the finale)
(Freshly cheered up)
(That was amazing.)
They are so cute.
Gosh, my stomach hurts.
(She is almost crying.)
Let's take a photo all together before you go...
- to commemorate it. - By the way,
his build is similar to mine.
- You look the same. - We look the same.
Let's take a picture.
Even the love handles.
- 1, 2, 3. - 1, 2, 3.
(2 Gu Ras and 2 Seong Jus)
Here is the result of the third match of Round One.
I'm especially interested in the result of this match.
Who could be the winner?
It was decided by a small margin.
- Was it? - It was a close game.
The difference in the number of votes these two people received...
was only five.
The difference is only five.
The competition between the so-called...
mascots of The King of Mask Singer.
Whom did the panelists select as the winner?
I'll now reveal it.
(Kim Gu Ra with a critical and sharp voice)
(Kim Seong Ju with a voice that flows smoothly like a stream)
(The great harmony of the two original cast members)
Is it Kim Gu Ra or Kim Seong Ju?
Who will move on to Round Two?
The winner is...
- The winner is... - The winner is...
(I support you who resembles me.)
The winner is...
Will it be Gu Ra or Seong Ju?
(Who is the winner?)
(Drum rolls)
Is it Kim Gu Ra or Kim Seong Ju?
I personally want Kim Seong Ju to win,
but will it be Gu Ra or Seong Ju?
- The winner is... - The winner is...
(Almighty King of Mask Singer, Kim Seong Ju won.)
The difference is five votes.
(Move on to Round Two, Daddy.)
We won.
(Kim Seong Ju won.)
(Moaning)
It's Seong Ju.
He looks so happy.
Kim Seong Ju won.
(47 votes versus 52 votes)
- Good job, Kim Gu Ra. - Kim Seong Ju won.
With five more votes.
The result is 52 to 47.
Kim Seong Ju won. Let's become the masked king!
Please move to the waiting room.
Please congratulate him.
(Kim Gu Ra who has Gu Ra's love handles will reveal his identity.)
Kim Seong Ju has advanced to Round Two.
Please be excited for Round Two.
The winner is...
It was quite surprising to see...
how easily the audience can be swayed...
in making their decisions...
because of the particular mask he's wearing.
Who could he be?
Let's find out his identity while watching his solo performance.
Please cheer for him.
(His identity will be revealed during a solo performance.)
(He looks like a rock musician.)
(Does he like tight pants?)
(He's got the acute sense of tempo.)
("Why is the Sky" by Lee Jee Hoon)
(What would his rock ballad be like?)
I think he will sing well.
He sings well.
Why is he so good?
(Unlike when he was singing a duet song, his voice is mellow.)
(He sings with rich emotion.)
(It's as if he is talking to the sky.)
(He delivers the feeling of sorrow.)
His voice sounds very familiar.
(His rock emotion explodes.)
(His voice suits the rough rock music.)
(Why is the sky)
(Kim Gu Ra's ringing voice spreads.)
He's so good.
- Who is he? - Now,
Cutie Pie, Kim Gu Ra,
Please take off your mask and reveal your identity.
He is...
Who is he?
Kim Gu Ra!
(Kim Gu Ra! Who are you?)
Please reveal your identity.
He is...
the member of a fun band we want to hang out with.
He's the charming guy of NORAZO, Jo Bin.
(Is it really the Jo Bin we know?)
(They are shocked.)
(This is unbelievable.)
(No way!)
Jo Bin.
(It was you, Bin.)
(Laughing)
(I don't believe it.)
(He stops laughing and concentrates again.)
(Today he only focuses on singing.)
It's my first time seeing him so calm.
(No way!)
(It's unfamiliar, but nevertheless his performance is captivating.)
(It's incredible.)
(Everyone is confused.)
(He sings plainly and seriously.)
(We can feel his sincerity.)
(The funnyman Jo Bin's performance of "Why is the Sky" surprised us.)
(It was so good.)
That was incredible.
Cider!
I can't believe it.
No way.
- Prejudice is a scary thing. - I failed him.
He got eliminated because of me.
- My goodness. - Prejudice is a scary thing.
He's the Lady Gaga of Korea.
He is Jo Bin of NORAZO.
Please say hi to the viewers.
Hello. I am Jo Bin of NORAZO. It's nice to meet you.
(He's the one and only singer of his kind in the music industry.)
(He's the leader of the unique and talented band NORAZO.)
(He had a new start after being joined by the new member OneHm.)
(His most extraordinary styles made him the Lady Gaga of Korea.)
(On variety shows, he showed off his crazy presence.)
(But when he's not on TV, he's calm and quiet.)
(He's a popular commercial star too.)
(His recently released solo album is popular too.)
(Jo Bin of NORAZO is a man with exhilarating energy.)
You are very calm today.
(Cider)
Right.
Cider
- It was very tough. - Right.
Your hairstyle is different too. It's nice and sleek.
You just need a hairpin.
(He has the hairstyle of a modest lady.)
His hair gets to take a break.
- Yes. - Yes.
- He always wears cans on his hair. - I know.
The excessive makeup is making him lose hair.
Today his hair gets to rest.
You look very modest.
- Right? - He's beautiful.
I fixed my hair nicely and prepared it with a fresh mindset.
Where did you get that outfit?
I did a research...
and tried to wear something Gu Ra would wear.
These love handles were intentional too.
So...
To resemble him,
I needed to gain weight.
- You meticulously calculated It. - I ate a lot for 10 days.
And I've put on some weight.
Right.
I think it's harder to perform hiding behind the mask.
For your solo performance,
you chose "Why is the Sky" by Lee Jee Hoon.
Why did the sky put me in this situation?
- You can't end it here. - It gave me hardship.
By the way, the song suits you very well.
Thank you.
Look how sorry they all are.
Because he wore the Gu Ra Mask,
the people who have hard feelings towards me, like Bong Sun,
didn't judge him based on his singing ability.
They looked at the mask with prejudice...
- and voted for another singer. - Right.
- Did I unconsciously do that? - Some prejudiced people did that.
(He's sad.)
I wanted to put on Gu Ra's mask...
and perform really well.
I realized the mask...
clearly blinds people.
Because he was wearing Gu Ra's face,
I lost half of my imagination.
I felt betrayed.
We could've guessed that it was Jo Bin.
But we wasted a lot of our energy on wrong guesses.
After finding out his identity, some people are very sorry.
Our new song was released around the time his new album was out too.
Whenever he did a camera rehearsal,
his voice penetrated the in-ear headphones.
I could hear his voice very clearly.
That's how powerful his voice is.
I also remember his stage manners being really great.
I am really sorry that I failed to recognize him.
You made my heart race.
- Yes. - You were the best.
You achieved your goal.
Thank you.
Instead of being the typical Jo Bin,
he became the modest version of him...
and surprised us today. Please give it up...
for Jo Bin of NORAZO.
(Please continue to show us great performances.)
When I took off the mask...
"Is that really Jo Bin?"
I performed while thinking about how thrilling it would be to see that.
If I performed a little better,
perhaps people would've been even more surprised.
I wish I could have done better.
(You wanted people to be even more surprised than this?)
(Even while looking at him, she still couldn't believe it.)
But I think it's a good turning point...
for me to show something better.
It's the moments like these that really motivates people.
I will be back soon.
Cutie Pie, Kim Gu Ra...
was me, Jo BIn.
(Bye.)
Almighty King of Mask Singer, Kim Seong Ju...
beat Jo Bin of NORAZO and made to Round Two.
This is the last match of Round One.
Anyone who I catch will get eliminated.
Don't Get Caught,
Gulliver.
(Don't Get Caught, Gulliver.)
The masked queen, I will catch you!
(My song will capture all of your hearts.)
(My heart is captured!)
Is it a woman or a man?
I think it's a he.
He's got the body of Gulliver and a beautiful face.
Contending against her is this masked singer.
Please cast me as the Queen of Mask Singer.
I'm the Best Singer,
Giselle!
(I'm the Best Singer, Giselle)
Watch my graceful performance.
(I'm the most elegant singer, right?)
(Fascinated)
Look at the bodyguards.
Is that a Hawaiian outfit?
No, it's a tutu.
Do you think she's an idol singer?
(The hero and heroine of two widely-loved classics)
(Which of them will captivate the audience...)
(and defeat the masked queen?)
(Gulliver, the adventurer?)
(Giselle, the graceful ballerina?)
A Lee Seung Hwan song.
("Heart for One Person" by Lee Oh Gong Gam)
(A song of Lee Oh Gong Gam, the duo Lee Seung Hwan and Oh Tae Ho formed)
I love this song.
(Giselle shyly starts the song with her clear voice.)
She's melting my heart.
(Gosh)
(He calmly sings about the sad feelings after a breakup.)
(His voice sounds familiar.)
(Why do sad hunches always come true?)
(We had to break up in the end.)
(They sound lovely.)
(She sings each note carefully to express her feelings.)
(She's adorable.)
(Gulliver's charming voice makes you wonder who he is.)
Who is he?
(Who is Gulliver?)
Is she an angel or what?
(Why do sad hunches always come true?)
(It's more painful when you still love the person who left you.)
(The only thing you can do is reminisce about the past.)
(Do you remember?)
(The yearning builds up upon their pure feelings.)
("Heart for One Person", a song about pure feelings and yearning)
(That was lovely.)
What do I do?
I'm dying to know who they are.
The last match...
of Round One is now over.
The winner of this match will compete against Kim Seong Ju.
(Their next opponent is Kim Seong Ju.)
(How thrilling.)
(We're looking forward to Round Two.)
They sang a hit song of Lee Oh Gong Gam, a project duo...
whose member is Lee Seung Hwan,
"Heart for One Person".
"Why do sad hunches always comes true?"
We often use these lyrics for subtitles on variety shows.
I wonder which of these two masked singers...
the audience have a sad hunch for right now.
Young Seok.
Yes. I hope Giselle will win, but I have...
- a hunch that she'll lose. - You do?
You have a feeling that she will lose?
Regardless of how good her performance was,
- she's really cute. - Right.
She raised her forefinger...
to put stress on some parts while she was singing,
and she even made it look graceful.
Her performance wasn't as glamorous as a flower in full bloom,
but it was simple and honest like a flower bud that hasn't bloomed yet.
(Like this?)
The color of her singing style isn't vivid...
like the colors of azalea or forsythia.
It's more like the graceful color of magnolia.
It made me want to pat her on the back.
A simple but graceful voice.
It made Gulliver look like...
an experienced army instructor.
(You did well, soldier.)
His pronunciation sounded like that of The One,
and his nasal voice sounded like that of Melomance.
- Melomance? - Yes.
He also seemed as relaxed on stage as a singer with...
more than 10 years of experience,
but I don't know who he is.
- He'd be an experienced singer? - Yes.
I'm certain about one thing.
I don't think he's going to lose.
He will probably beat Kim Seong Ju by a big margin.
(Goodness)
That's obvious.
- Yes. - That's Kim Seong Ju's limit.
Gosh.
His limit?
(Laughing)
I'm certain about one thing as well.
If Gulliver moves on to Round Two and gives a solo performance,
he'll do at least 10 times better than he did in this round.
But his opponent will be Kim Seong Ju,
so he won't have to do so well.
Gosh.
Save your energy.
- I mean... - Kim Seong Ju is an easy opponent.
Oh, my.
Kim Seong Ju is working hard to give a good performance.
It's obvious that he'll lose.
My gosh.
Now I have to worry about Gulliver too.
You all think he's a strong competitor.
It's clear that he is an amazing singer.
Singers who are true masters know how to control...
the volume of their voice.
When Gulliver sang in harmony earlier...
(He controlled the volume of his voice for Giselle.)
(He's like a human speaker.)
I think he's an incredible singer. I'm curious to know who he is.
(Shy)
As for Giselle,
she sang in a very cute and adorable way.
It sounded very lovely.
But I somehow think...
Her actions tell me...
that she's not so young.
- Really? - Yes.
People usually...
(Sulky)
I think I'm right about this. She's definitely not young.
These gestures give away your age.
When the masked singers want people to vote for them,
they don't do things like this.
- And... - To show that she's number two.
it was mostly middle-aged actresses...
who made gestures like that.
(During the vote)
(Everyone, please press number 2.)
She casually did things like that,
so I think she's a middle-aged actress.
It feels that way.
So you think she's over 40 years old?
She'd be somewhere between 45 to 55 years of age.
I see. A middle-aged actress.
So you don't think either of them is young?
I think Giselle is older than Gulliver.
You think Giselle is older...
than Gulliver?
(Does she have more life experience?)
Gulliver seems very happy. All right.
- Let me add one thing to this. - Yes?
This pose must be the trendiest pose that she knows.
She really seemed...
- Oh. - Look at that.
(A pose that they didn't expect to see?)
- That's a trendy pose. - She knows that pose.
That's trendy.
It is.
Wait a second. If she knows this pose...
- She could be young. - Yes.
- No, I don't think so. - She could be.
It's very popular among young people now.
You think she'd be much younger...
- Yes. - because she knows this pose?
- Yes. - Okay.
She'd be 20 years younger than the age Hyun Chul mentioned.
20 years younger than the age he mentioned?
Yes, that's what I think.
- Well... - She's following the trends.
Her voice sounded familiar...
- when she sang. - Really?
Yes. Her voice sounded familiar.
I think that means...
she's an actress in her 40s or 50s.
- I see. - She's also listening to me...
very carefully right now.
I think she admires me.
You think she admires you?
- Seriously? - She has a good sense of humor.
She has a good sense of humor just like me.
I'm pretty sure that she's someone I know.
- Probably someone around my age. - I see.
It's time to see their specialties.
Let's start with Giselle.
She will mimic a meerkat.
A meerkat?
They look something like this.
- She will mimic a meerkat. - All right.
Show us.
(A cute middle-aged meerkat appears.)
(Hello, ma'am.)
(Looking around)
(Peeking)
(Plopping down)
(It's extreme to be a middle-aged meerkat.)
(She's cute.)
(Do you think it's funny?)
- All right. - Good.
(She finishes off with a cute ending.)
She's cute.
Isn't this the proper hand gesture for it?
(Like this?)
- She has a sharp eye. - She's off the wall.
It's a mantis this time.
- Okay. - Mantis.
Go ahead and show us.
(Is it a mantis or a meerkat?)
Well, the mantis...
is swaying her waist.
(What on earth...)
(is that?)
There you go. That looks like one.
(I'm going to kill you all!)
(What's wrong with you, ma'am?)
(Take my attack.)
It's the mantis attack.
(Take my poke, Gu Ra.)
All right.
She's good.
(Good job.)
That was very similar.
- She isn't in her 40s. - I know.
It's Gulliver's specialty this time.
He's prepared hip-hop dance.
Really?
- Hip-hop dance? - He's got swag.
Music, please.
(What will his hip-hop dance be like?)
Here we go.
(Wait, this song is...)
(It's the song by the American duo, Ayo and Teo.)
(It's popular with its choreography.)
(Stunned)
(His arms and legs are moving out of control.)
(That doesn't feel right.)
(1, 2, 1, 2)
It's trendy these days.
Somebody should stop him.
(No one can stop him.)
He's got swag.
(It's like the tour bus dance from 21 years ago.)
(What is that?)
(Thanks for your strange hip-hop dance.)
Tae Hyun, what do you think...
about his dance?
I think he's horrible at dancing.
(Feeling dizzy)
- He's honest. - You mean it?
- It's good to be honest. - Are you sure?
I'm glad that he's being honest.
- Is he bad at it? - He's straightforward.
I think he chose...
to do this trendy dance on purpose...
to hide his identity.
Thanks for your hard work today, madam and sir.
(Thanks for your hard work.)
Gulliver was just told that he's horrible at dancing,
so he might feel like he hasn't been done justice.
I'll play the same music for you.
(Oh, shoot.)
(Seong Ju indeed is the best host.)
I haven't danced for a long time.
But I can still dance better than him.
Dance with him then, Gulliver.
Try beating Tae Hyun.
Music, please.
(Will Gulliver be able to save his face?)
It's a dance battle. Good.
Be a little more daring.
Beat Tae Hyun.
There you go.
Bring it in.
(Tae Hyun counterattacks.)
He's good.
(Intimidated)
(Swagger)
Tae Hyun is good.
Show him what you got, Gulliver.
Show him. Attack!
(Gosh, my eyes.)
- He's so playful. - Attack.
- Stop it. - Good.
There you go.
All right.
Thank you.
- They're way different. - Thank you anyway.
- Seong Ju. - Yes?
What's the difference between him and Kim Gu Ra's Twice specialty?
I don't see any difference.
I think he practiced in a rush...
with an outdated video.
(He's become a wreck.)
Well, he was confident. That's good enough.
I wonder who he is.
It's time to announce the result of the last match of Round One.
Who is the winner?
Please show us the result.
(A voice sparkling like stars)
(Gulliver's sentiments knocked on the audience's hearts.)
(Tranquil like a lake)
(Giselle left the lingering emotions.)
Whom did the audience choose...
to advance to Round Two?
Who is the winner of this match?
- The winner is... - The winner is...
The winner is...
(Who will compete against Kim Seong Ju?)
(Who is the winner?)
- The winner is... - The winner is...
Who is it?
(Gulliver wins.)
Gulliver is the winner.
(Continue your adventure to the throne!)
(They liked his voice.)
It's easy to memorize his name too.
(He feels bad for Giselle.)
Gulliver wins against Giselle and advances to Round Two.
He received 81 votes.
81 votes.
He will compete against Kim Seong Ju in the next round.
Good luck.
Now go back to the waiting room.
Give him a big hand, guys.
Gulliver advances to Round Two.
Kim Seong Ju, you're in trouble now.
The smile maker in her 40s or 50s...
who has the elegant charm like magnolia.
Let's check this madam's identity...
along with her solo performance.
Give her a big hand.
(She has a simple voice that's comfortable to listen to.)
(Her voice sounds familiar.)
(Is she a middle-aged actress?)
(Wait, this song is...)
Isn't it "Curry"?
("Curry" by NORAZO)
It's NORAZO's song.
(I'm stopping by on my way back home.)
(Her energy is as fierce...)
(as the original singer.)
(The song is...)
(drop-dead addicting.)
Now, Giselle, please take off your mask...
and reveal your identity.
(Screaming)
(This is crazy.)
A lot of them recognize her.
(Who is she?)
Take off your mask and reveal your identity.
She is...
the charming former announcer.
She's the actress with 14 years of experience, Choi Song Hyun.
(Giselle is Choi Song Hyun?)
She's Choi Song Hyun.
This is crazy.
(They're stunned.)
(Without showing any emotion in her face,)
(she shamelessly dances to the song.)
(She chose to perform a song...)
(that's totally different from her image.)
(And her stage manners...)
(are even more overwhelming.)
(Choi Song Hyun is the best!)
(Choi Song Hyun's "Curry" is such a dramatic twist.)
(She is no joke.)
(Shocked)
It's shocking.
It's crazy.
She's impressive.
Please say hello to the viewers.
Hello, I'm actress Choi Song Hyun.
(She debuted as the 32nd official KBS announcer in 2006.)
(Showing off her versatile talents,)
(she even won the Rookie Award in the Entertainment Awards.)
(She changed her career and became a movie actress.)
(With her stable acting ability,)
(she pulled off various roles...)
(and took over the drama industry as well.)
(She's actually a scuba diving expert.)
(She's also working as a diving instructor.)
(She's full of unexpected charms.)
(Choi Song Hyun is...)
(a versatile entertainer who fell in love with the ocean.)
When you were wearing the mask,
they assumed you were a middle-aged woman.
Maybe I should've kept my hands still.
I was trying to look cute.
- Why do sad hunches - Okay.
(She sounds just like him even without the mask.)
Actually, we tried to stop her from singing this song.
We wanted people...
to be touched when she takes off her mask,
so we asked her to sing a calm and gracious song,
but she insisted she'd sing this song.
Do you think it was successful?
I think it was successful. What do you think?
Thank you.
(It was the best.)
Young Seok seemed very surprised to hear "Curry".
Are you disappointed?
It's the other way around.
She's one of my favorite actresses.
I actually like this side of her.
- You liked it? - Yes.
Thank you.
This performance was way more pleasant to listen to...
than the performance earlier.
It made me excited too.
She showed her dynamic energy.
It was excellent.
I'm not disappointed at all.
It's been quite some time...
since she quit being an announcer and started her acting career.
What kind of actress do you want people to remember you as?
Actually, I was an announcer for only one year.
Officially, I was an announcer for only one year.
But it seems like the name...
"Choi Song Hyun" still reminds them of when I used to be an announcer.
I wish, one day, people call me by the name of the character I play.
I'm interested in variety shows as well,
but as I took a few years of break from variety shows...
since I've become an actress,
I think it made people think I'm not interested in variety shows.
Today, I showed you that's not true.
Song Hyun showed her charms...
through the cheerful performance today.
- Please give it up for her. - Go Song Hyun!
Thank you. I had a great time.
(We'd like to see you often.)
As for "Curry", I insisted on singing it.
I especially loved this part of the dance.
So I did the dance brazenly during the performance.
Jo Bin, if you liked my performance,
please contact me. Let's collaborate.
I'm a good singer.
Giselle was me, Actress Choi Song Hyun.
Mask, mask, mask singer
