The mysterious music show, King of Mask Singer.
Previously on King of Mask Singer.
Her strong performance raged like a storm.
Her sorrowful voice touched our hearts.
She defeated the strong contestants...
and succeeded to win for the second time.
I'm on Duty Today, Nightingale.
Today, eight vocalists have come to stop the masked queen...
from soaring high.
It will be a parade of mesmerizing and wonderful performances.
(Did the master singer appear?)
(Don't drop your guard.)
(The matches will exceed your expectations.)
It begins right now.
The mysterious music show, King of Mask Singer.
(King of Mask Singer.)
Last week, with richer emotion,
the 104th Queen of Mask Singer succeeded to win for the 2nd time.
I'm on Duty Today, Nightingale.
(I love you all.)
(Jeong Ye In and Lee Mi Joo of Lovelyz)
Who will be the one person to survive until the end to stop...
the 104th Queen of Mask Singer Nightingale's 3rd victory?
The duet competition of Round One begins now.
(It begins right now.)
(King of Mask Singer)
The first match of Round One.
When you hear my music, you can't help saying this.
Now I Have Enough Sugar,
Cupcake!
(Now I Have Enough Sugar, Cupcake)
Would you like to take a bite of my song?
(A sweet cupcake is here.)
(How sweet.)
I need some sugar too.
(She has enough sugar now.)
Please let us hear a sweet song.
Here comes her opponent.
Once you hear me singing, you won't be able to get it off your head.
Coffee and Doughnut.
Doughnut!
(Coffee and Doughnut)
Once you start listening, you won't be able to stop.
The song starts now.
(Coffee is indeed doughnut's best friend.)
(They are a perfect combination.)
(You)
From the way she walks, I can tell she's not so young.
I feel like Doughnut is going to show us something.
(It's time to enjoy a mouthful of sweet happiness.)
(Who will win the panelists' hearts...)
(with their overwhelmingly sweet smell?)
(Will it be colorful and dainty Cupcake?)
(Or will it be Doughnut that comes in various kinds?)
(King of Mask Singer)
("Greatest Love of All" by Whitney Houston)
- Isn't it Whitney Houston's song? - It's "Greatest Love of All".
("Greatest Love of All" by Whitney Houston)
(The song starts with Cupcake's clear voice.)
(Doughnut continues the song with her deep voice.)
(It's a lonely place to be)
(So I learned to depend on me)
(Because the greatest love of all...)
(Is happening to me)
(She's such a good singer.)
(They sing in harmony and richen the sound.)
(If I fail, if I succeed, at least I will live as I believe)
(I found the greatest love of all)
(Doughnut creates the vibe with her attractive voice.)
(Cupcake's voice sparkles like glass beads.)
(Learning to love yourself)
(It is the greatest love of all)
(The two of them sing of the beauty of great love.)
(Leads you to a lonely place)
(Find your strength)
(In love)
(Cupcake and Doughnut performed "Greatest Love of All".)
(Love is great.)
(That was amazing.)
That was fantastic.
I wanted to sing along,
but I couldn't because it's in English.
I hear you.
The first match of Round One has now come to an end.
They performed "Greatest Love of All"...
by Whitney Houston, the queen of pop music.
The song is about the greatest love.
And today, we have the two greatest desserts on the stage now.
I'm sure many of you fell in love with their performance.
Young Seok?
There's a saying that goes, "Well begun is half done."
(What?)
And they have done so much from the beginning already.
It would've been enough if they did the half of it.
It was a very touching performance.
So you think both of them were great singers.
Yes. But before I talk about their performance,
I have a small doubt.
Doubt? What is it?
I wonder why they chose to sing a pop song.
You wonder why they sang a pop song.
Whoever performed a pop song has been very likely to be a foreigner.
(The very first pop song performance on King of Mask Singer...)
(was given by a foreign contestant, Miljenko Matijevic.)
(Since then, many foreign stars have appeared as contestants,)
(singing pop songs to conceal their identities.)
- That has happened a few times. - Yes.
Actually, when the intro started playing,
I thought about which of them could be a foreigner.
Is one of them a foreigner?
I think Doughnut is more likely to be a foreigner.
You think there's a chance that Doughnut is a foreigner.
Yes. I could feel from her singing that she has grown up...
in the birthplace of pop music.
So you feel like she listened to a lot of pop music.
Now that I see her acting like, I'm not sure about it anymore.
(She understood what I said immediately.)
(Laughing)
I'm the only one in my group that has studied abroad for a month.
And her pronunciation was just like mine.
- She studied abroad for a month? - Her pronunciation is like mine.
She sounded like me.
So I don't think she's a foreigner.
But if we focus only on her performance, that doesn't matter.
- She gave a great performance. - I see.
I would like to say one more thing...
about Doughnut's performance.
I don't know how to describe it.
Her voice and performance were graceful, rich,
sophisticated, and classy.
So you basically liked her performance better.
You don't have to beat around the bush.
Is there anything you want to add?
You said, "Well begun is half done."
But you've gone too far now.
He's so biased.
(Laughing)
I watched the performance...
from a current idol singer's perspective.
As for Cupcake,
I feel like she used to be an idol trainee,
but because she couldn't dance well,
she couldn't debut.
You can't just say whatever comes to your mind because she's masked.
- You might get in trouble later. - Okay. Let me put it this way.
I think she didn't debut as an idol singer...
but debuted as a singer in a different field.
- And as for Doughnut, - As for Doughnut?
she's pretty old.
How old do you think she is?
I spotted something.
- When Seong Ju... - Yes.
complimented how cute she was,
she seemed so happy.
- Were you? - It means she loved the compliment.
- She loved the compliment. - You spotted that.
And she had good control over the song,
which made me think she's experienced.
They're definitely not current idol singers.
They're definitely not?
No.
Really?
From their hand gestures,
I could tell they don't use their hands much.
(She stretches her arm.)
(She opens her hand.)
(They're definitely not dancers.)
They kept repeating the same gesture.
- Like this. - I see.
I think both of them are professional singers,
but not idol singers.
These discussions are pointless.
We're not getting anywhere.
At this point, I would like to bring up real names.
- You will bring up real names? - Yes.
Gu Ra wants to speak out boldly.
I believe Cupcake is an actress who can sing well.
- An actress? - An actress who can sing well.
The person I have in mind once worked on a show with me.
It's actress Ryu Hyun Kyung.
- Ryu Hyun Kyung? - That's correct.
Ryu Hyun Kyung?
(That sounds plausible.)
She's a good singer and has many talents.
I think she's Hyun Kyung.
Gu Ra seems to think she's an actress.
All right. Let's check out their specialties.
They'll show you a little dancing first.
Oh, we've got to see that.
Some of you thought that they were idol singers,
so they'll dance for you.
Let's start with Doughnut.
She says she can dance sexy...
to any kind of music.
She can dance sexy to whatever song we play.
Her specialty itself is a little old-fashioned.
Don't you think so?
- That pose is old school too. - Yes.
It's kind of old school.
Are you ready?
Doughnut will dance for us now. Music, please.
(The music starts.)
We're playing "Jindo Arirang".
(Body rolls to a traditional song)
Is she an idol singer or not?
Oh, boy.
(What is that?)
- Oh, my gosh. - Is she an idol singer or not?
She was thought to be an experienced singer.
Gosh.
(Her sexy dance shows satire and humor.)
Is she a solo singer...
- It's funny. - or a member of a group?
(The theme from "Country Diaries" plays.)
There's one more piece of music.
It's "Country Diaries".
- This will be funny. - It's the theme from that drama.
All right. That's a little over the top.
(What is she doing?)
(Goodness)
- Oh, my gosh. - She's going all out.
Okay. Please don't do this to me.
All right, okay.
That's it.
(She's quite a girl.)
It's a happy occasion.
She danced to the theme from "Country Diaries".
Those who lie on the floor can't be stopped.
- That's like a finishing move. - Right.
The way I see it, she could be an idol singer.
- What do you think, Mi Joo? - I'm very sorry,
but I don't think there's a chance that she's an idol singer.
- Really? - The chances are close to zero.
- Are they? - Yes.
She showed some very charming moves,
but they were a little old-fashioned.
I actually have a different opinion.
- I think Doughnut is... - Yes?
someone I know. It feels that way.
- Someone you know? - Your friends would recognize you.
It's this group that I know.
I have a feeling that she's An Shin Ae of The Barberettes.
- She's a great singer. - She was on our show.
- What is it? - She was on our show once.
- Was she? - Yes.
- Then I'll take that back. - Okay.
(He quickly takes back what he said.)
All right.
Cupcake will also dance for you.
Gosh.
She actually prepared a zombie dance.
A zombie dance?
She wants me...
(Doubting his eyes)
You want me to bite you?
(Laughing)
Are you getting into the position?
Go ahead, lie down.
Well, okay.
Here we go.
Ready...
This feels weird.
This feels a little strange.
I'm going to bite you now, okay?
You'll become a zombie.
Go ahead, Seong Ju.
1, 2.
- Oh, gosh. - She's turning into a zombie.
This is her zombie dance.
- She could be an idol singer, - She's good.
a member of an a cappella group,
or an actress.
(She's headed somewhere.)
Those are very detailed movements.
(That's impressive.)
She's a zombie. Oh, she's walking towards Doughnut.
She's going to do something to Doughnut.
- Doughnut! She bit Doughnut! - She's bitten!
She bit Doughnut.
Gosh, Doughnut. She has to do something now.
- She bit Doughnut. - No way.
- It's scary. - Gosh, Doughnut.
She has to do something now.
Doughnut is doing it too!
- She's doing it too. - No!
(Trying her best)
Doughnut is a zombie too. No, not me.
Don't!
Bite him!
(Screaming)
I have to do it too?
Let's stop here, guys. All right.
(It was funny.)
That was cute.
You said she'd do a zombie dance,
so I thought she would show some fancy dance moves.
But she looked like the one-legged ghost from "Korean Ghost Stories".
(The one-legged ghost from "Korean Ghost Stories")
The one-legged ghost?
She certainly seems like an actress.
But her movement right after she got bitten showed...
- that she can use her body well. - Right?
That made me think that she could be...
a musical actress who has played a zombie in a musical.
An actress just came to my mind.
- What's her name? - Who is it?
The actress from "Sky Castle".
"Sky Castle"?
- Kim Hye Yoon! - It's not her.
Who played Ye Seo.
(Laughing)
No, no, no. It's not her.
- Wait a second. - Kim Hye Yoon?
- She's not Hyun Kyung either, - I know that.
but I stayed quiet.
I couldn't stay quiet.
Calm down.
(Please stop, guys.)
Some names have been mentioned, Ryu Hyun Kyung and Kim Hye Yoon.
All right. I will now announce...
the result of the first match of Round One.
The winner won by...
only three votes.
Oh, my gosh.
Let's find out the winner of this match now!
(A clear and pure voice)
(Cupcake's singing sounded so sweet.)
(A powerful and husky voice)
(Doughnut sang with deep emotions.)
(Two charming girls gave a beautiful performance.)
Is it Cupcake or Doughnut?
Who is the winner of this match?
The winner is...
- The winner is... - The winner is...
(It was a very close match.)
(Who won by 3 votes?)
(Who is it?)
- The winner is... - The winner is...
Who is it?
(Now I Have Enough Sugar, Cupcake wins.)
The winner is Cupcake.
(Cupcake gave us enough sugar.)
(Way to go, Cupcake.)
(They can't believe Doughnut lost.)
The score is 51 to 48.
It's 51 to 48.
It was a neck-and-neck match.
(She won by only 3 votes.)
Please go back to your waiting room.
Let's give her a big hand.
(Doughnut's identity will be revealed soon.)
The winner chosen by the audience...
is Cupcake.
I will sing with my sweet voice in Round Two as well.
Let's find out who Doughnut is now.
We'll reveal her identity with a solo performance.
Please give her a big round of applause.
(A foreigner who's not so young?)
(An Shin Ae of The Barberettes?)
("Sweet" by Lena Park)
(Her sweet voice melts your ears.)
(Her voice sounds different from Round One.)
(You can feel pleasant excitement from her voice.)
(She's amazing.)
How she bends the notes is fantastic.
She has such a beautiful voice.
It feels great to listen to it.
Now,
Doughnut, please take off your mask...
and reveal your face.
(Screaming)
She is...
(Oh, my goodness.)
(Who made everyone scream like crazy?)
- What's going on? Who is she? - She is...
Reveal your face.
She is...
the main vocalist of Dreamcatcher, a group of seven singers,
Siyeon!
(Doughnut was Siyeon?)
Dreamcatcher.
(Astonished)
(He's happy to see her.)
(Surprisingly, Doughnut was an idol singer.)
(Shocked)
(Her magical voice captivates all men.)
(Her skillful showmanship fascinates them.)
(Sweet tremor of romance, "Sweet" by Doughnut)
She's unbelievable.
Her voice is so sweet.
- Oh my goodness. - She's so good at singing.
- She's amazing at singing. - She's really good.
Please say hello to the viewers.
Dream about me. Hello.
I'm Siyeon, the lead vocalist of Dreamcatcher.
(She's the lead vocalist of Dreamcatcher,)
(the only heavy metal girl group in the country.)
(Her mysterious and dreamy voice has bewitched the world.)
("Dreamcatcher Places 6th on the Billboard World Albums Chart")
(The sweet fairy of dreams, Siyeon of Dreamcatcher)
It's only been about three years since you debuted.
- That's right. - But you don't seem nervous at all.
Ever since the rehearsal,
I've been enjoying this so much.
I wanted to film the show quickly.
- Goodness. - Oh, gosh.
I can tell she's talented.
This is why the panelists mentioned...
that she'd be experienced and made old gestures.
- Right? - It's my horrible mistake.
I'm sorry.
I don't think you felt offended though.
They meant you were good.
I decided to come out on this show...
because I wanted people to judge me...
without any prejudice.
I'm so grateful that they made good comments about me.
(She's thankful for their nice comments.)
(Well done!)
Young Seok is in a bad mood right now.
When I heard her voice,
I wasn't curious about her performance for Round Two.
I was rather curious about what she'd sing for Round Three.
Her voice sounded so beautiful...
that I can't believe she's a rock vocalist.
She also had this urban image that's similar to Lee Soo Young.
I must say she's going to become successful.
Thank you.
Can she maybe sing a bit of a rock song?
- Rock music? - Yes.
Will you be okay, Siyeon?
(We'd love to see it.)
- She never rejects anything. - Rock and roll.
Let's go!
Let's hear her sing rock music.
(She starts off with a good feeling.)
(Even without any accompaniment,)
(her voice alone fills the studio.)
(It's charming in a different way from the other two performances.)
(Singing high notes)
(How refreshing.)
- Her voice... - Rock music will never die.
Her voice has diverse charms like chameleons.
She's got various talents.
I got goosebumps.
Here on this show today,
she's showed her various charms.
Please give Siyeon of Dreamcatcher a round of applause.
(We're cheering on you, Siyeon.)
(We hope to see you more often.)
I lost the match by three votes.
I feel a bit sad, but the panelists...
gave me a lot of nice comments.
I'm so grateful for it.
It touched my heart.
I wish I can come out again, see them, and perform again.
I want to hear their comments again.
Coffee and Doughnut was me, Siyeon of Dreamcatcher.
Please give me a lot of attention and love.
Bye.
As a result of Round One,
Now I Have Enough Sugar, Cupcake...
beats Siyeon of Dreamcatcher and advances to Round Two.
It's the second match of Round One.
Make some noise!
(Make some noise.)
Throne is Mine, Assistant Manager Kim.
(Throne is Mine, Assistant Manager Kim)
Dear boss, promote me to a masked king.
(Acting passionately)
(Assistant Manager Kim is drunk.)
He's totally drunk.
He seems like he's had three rounds.
He must be an entertainer.
Against him is...
"Let's go shopping together!"
Money above all things, Manager Park on Payday.
(Money above all things, Manager Park on Payday)
Let's take the throne and get an incentive!
(Today is my payday.)
(It's our payday too.)
He seems quiet.
(He makes a well-mannered entrance.)
He's quiet.
He's tall.
Which day do you like better, get-together day or payday?
- Payday. - Payday.
(Pleasure in your tough office life)
(As if they can't wait for those days,)
(the audience can't wait to hear the two masked singers' voices.)
(Assistant Manager Kim is tense in a pleasant way.)
(Manager Park is excited and thrilled.)
("Girl" by Lee Moon Sae)
Oh, my.
(His voice is sweet and dreamy.)
(Assistant Manager Kim is like a shy boy.)
(His voice is deep and soft.)
(Manager Park's sentiments bring back old memories.)
- His voice sounds familiar. - Very familiar.
It's nice.
(House Band)
How beautiful.
(Assistant Manager Kim's delicacy)
(And Manager Park's mildness)
(Their duet performance is pretty and beautiful.)
("Girl" wishes to be in the memories of the two men.)
(It's fresh, but sorrowful.)
Come on. Why is everyone so good?
They're unbelievable.
Assistant Manager Kim's singing ability shouldn't be underestimated.
They're really good.
The second match of Round One has ended.
The duet performance of these two male masked singers...
was very lovely and sweet.
Yoon Sang, I know you like this kind of sentiments.
I could tell both of them has an extraordinary singing ability.
If someone sings this song,
they can never be free from Lee Moon Sae's singing style.
(Beside me)
(Lee Moon Sae recites the lyrics as he sings a song.)
(That's his unique sentimentality.)
Assistant Manager Kim...
escaped from the original vibe...
and sang with his unique color.
(He sang with his unique color.)
As for Manager Park,
he sang with the original color.
(He sang with the original color.)
Manager Park has incredible singing skills,
but Assistant Manager Kim has singing skills...
with his unique spices.
He is on another level.
The way he sang in a relaxed state...
made me wonder if he is a singer-songwriter.
A singer-songwriter.
He changed the melody at ease.
I see.
- On the other hand, - Manager Park.
he stayed to the basics and gave us a good performance.
While he didn't show any weaknesses,
Assistant Manager Lee took the lead in this round.
- What? My judgment is the opposite. - Really?
I think Manager Park is the one who is special.
Manager Park is the one who is special.
Manager Park's ability to control the volume of his voice...
and the accent of breaths...
is very different.
Inside him...
are elements of blues he hasn't shown.
His performance was quite charming.
- Everyone feels differently. - That's right.
I agree with Sang.
You become a manager after working about 10 years.
- That's right. - Manager Park has many worries...
on payday.
He needs to make installment payments for his car...
and pay off loans.
Payday isn't fun for him.
His performance had that sort of bitterness.
At a get-together,
Assistant Manager Kim is full of spirit.
- That's right. - He is still a rookie.
Assistant managers work the hardest.
It's disappointing, but I think the audience will prefer...
Assistant Manager Kim.
Manager Park looks hot in that cardigan.
(Manager Park looks hot in that cardigan.)
(Laughing)
Manager Park's cardigan.
- That's right. - Is he sweating?
Don't ruin my fantasy.
You are sweating, right?
I like Manager Park,
but I think it will be hard for him to win.
- Really? - I will see what happens.
Manager Park knows...
how to sing "Girl" very well.
I think there is a reason why he sang sharp notes.
When he was young, he was a vocalist with a beautiful voice.
Then he had his vocal fold nodules removed.
- That's why... - You got that from a single song.
I think Manager Park is surprised.
I think he is an artist...
who is recovering.
While he isn't as skilled as he used to be,
he knows how to sing this song.
You think he is a singer...
who is recovering from vocal fold nodules removal.
Yes.
Manager Park...
sang of a girl...
he knew 10 years ago.
Assistant Manager Kim...
- sang of a girl he is dating. - It's happening right now.
- He is dating that girl. - He is dating.
- I see. It's happening. - He is in love.
- My goodness. - It's happening.
That must be why he used different techniques.
Isn't that right?
(Seong Ju is having way too much fun.)
My goodness.
Is Manager Park a middle-aged man?
- His sentimentality is. - The middle-aged sentimentality.
I think he has an actor's sentimentality.
- An actor's sentimentality. - That's how well...
he expressed nostalgia.
Do you think he is married?
- He couldn't get married. - He couldn't get married?
- He couldn't get married? - Manager Park is single.
- I don't think he got married. - Why do you say that?
He still hasn't forgotten that girl.
(Screaming)
While the deductions haven't taken us anywhere,
I will give a name.
You will give a name.
- Manager Park... - Manager Park.
has a sense of humor.
I saw it when he pretended to sniff his armpit.
He has the singing skills...
and an actor's sentimentality. Thus, I think...
he is an actor, Ryu Seung Soo.
- Ryu Seung Soo. - Ryu Seung Soo.
- Actor Ryu Seung Soo. - He can sing.
That's a wild guess.
Yoon Seok, who do you think he is?
I think he is an actor...
who has released an album.
I will give you the initials.
You can give me the full name.
- You don't need to do that. - Who do you think he is?
- Kim Kwang Kyu. - Kim Kwang Kyu?
- No way. - Kim Kwang Kyu.
- No, no. - No?
- Am I wrong? - Everyone is saying so.
Kwang Kyu is short.
- That's right. - He looks like Kwang Kyu.
Look more closely.
This time,
they will show their specialties.
The masked singer with an actor's sentimentality,
Manager Park on Payday.
He will show his happiness...
on payday...
through dance.
Let's see his dance.
You specifically asked...
(Whispering)
Really?
(Nodding)
He wants me to pick...
someone from the audience...
for his dance.
The woman with the bottle of water.
- If it's okay... - This is an interactive show.
Thank you. You just need to stand up.
(Expectant)
What kind of dance will Manager Park show?
(Laughing)
(Did you see that?)
He suddenly showed his age.
Music, please.
(Manager Park's Payday Dance)
Is it our song?
(Manager Park revs up.)
(Let's party tonight!)
It's a song by Winner.
(How will he enjoy it?)
(What?)
(Manager Park?)
Manager Park.
(It's dirty)
(He can't control his dirty body.)
Gosh, this is...
What is he doing in front of a woman?
(He uses money on different things.)
He is very forward.
(He uses all the money.)
(My goodness.)
(Shocked)
I don't think he is married.
(He used up his monthly salary.)
Let's end it here.
(He became a beggar overnight.)
Why did he do that with our song?
He is a comedian.
Even though he picked a song by Winner,
his dance was old.
My goodness.
It's time to see Assistant Manager Kim's specialty.
He prepared something...
that will liven up the mood at a get-together.
He prepared a sexy dance.
I bet he will be an amazing dancer.
He knows how to liven up the mood at a get-together.
Assistant Manager Kim's sexy dance. Music, please.
(Swaying)
(My goodness.)
His colleagues are watching.
Assistant Manager Kim...
(Fall for my sexiness.)
is very enthusiastic.
(His movements are full of passion.)
(His moves are too sexy.)
He is passionate, too.
(He shows his love for the company.)
He is showing his charms. The manager must be content.
(Manager, are you watching this?)
The female employees...
(Daring)
(Sexy)
(The get-together suddenly became hot.)
The female employees are shocked.
Let's end it here. Let's end it here.
(Even the idol singers are amazed.)
- He is really good. - He has extraordinary dance moves.
Assistant Manager Kim's dance was extraordinary, right?
It was extraordinary.
Hello, I am the broken idol reader, Kang Seung Yoon.
(Laughing)
I judged him incorrectly earlier because I was broken.
Assistant Manager Kim is an idol singer.
- Is he an idol singer? - Yes.
Assistant Manager Kim is a multi-talented man...
who can write lyrics and compose music.
He is an idol singer whose position is the main vocalist.
- It's very specific. - Yes.
He changed the notes to suit his taste.
I think it's the style of someone who has written his own songs.
(Is Assistant Manager Kim an idol singer?)
Now, I will announce the result of the second match of Round One.
When we look at the celebrity panelists,
the final score is 7 to 6.
(My goodness.)
What is the score from the audience?
It's a match...
between Assistant Manager Kim and Manager Park.
I will now reveal...
the winner of this match.
(With an otherworldly voice,)
(Assistant Manager Kim touched everyone.)
(With deep sentimentality,)
(Manager Park sang soulfully.)
Between Assistant Manager Kim...
and Manager Park,
who will win this round...
and perform in the next round?
- The winner is... - The winner is...
(The winner is...)
(Whom did the audience choose?)
Who is the winner?
- The winner is... - The winner is...
Who is the winner?
(Assistant Manager Kim won.)
Assistant Manager Kim won.
(Nice, Assistant Manager Kim.)
(We knew you would win.)
I knew he would win.
I voted for Manager Park.
Let's see the final score.
(72 to 27)
It's 72 to 27.
With the audience's support,
Assistant Manager Kim moves on to the next round.
Please go back to the waiting room.
Give him a round of applause.
(Manager Park's identity will be revealed.)
Assistant Manager Kim moves on to Round Two.
I am the star of Round Two.
The masked singer with a deep voice.
We will reveal his identity...
with a solo performance prepared for Round Two.
Please give him a big hand.
(His identity will be revealed.)
(Is he a vocalist who could hit high notes?)
(Did he get his vocal fold nodules removed?)
(Is he still single?)
("Will You Marry Me?" by Lee Seung Gi)
He must be single.
(Shall we?)
(With his honey-sweet voice,)
(Manager Park makes a warm proposal.)
(Moved)
(A nice and soft voice like cotton)
(A heart-throbbing proposal...)
(to someone)
(Who is this sweet guy?)
Now,
Manager Park, please take off your mask...
and reveal your face.
(Shocked)
He is...
- Who is he? - Who is he?
Now, Manager Park, please take off your mask...
and reveal your face.
He is...
Comedienne Hong Hyun Hee's husband,
Interior Designer Jason.
(Manager Park was Jason.)
Jason? I see.
It was Jason?
Hong Hyun Hee.
Hong Hyun Hee's husband.
That's right. Gosh.
(Nervous)
(Excited)
(Impressed)
(No one recognized Manager Park's identity.)
(You are love.)
(I'll love you more)
(I'll care for you more)
(Really?)
(He's singing the song...)
(for the love of his life.)
(Will you marry me?)
(A message to his wife, Jason's "Will You Marry Me?")
(Romantic and touching)
Hyun Hee must be happy.
I didn't see this coming.
He seems very nice.
He's like my brother-in-law.
Please say hello to our viewers.
Hello, I'm Designer Jason. Nice to meet you.
All right.
(A newly wedded couple, Hong Hyun Hee and Jason)
(Kissing)
(Their everyday life is like a sitcom.)
(Banging)
(A guy with a lot of charm, Jason)
He's Comedienne Hong Hyun Hee's...
loving husband.
Right. That's my side job.
(He's funny.)
- You sing quite well. - Not really.
Actually, it wasn't an easy choice.
I was very nervous...
and afraid.
You did a very good job.
The panelists were very surprised to see you.
You sang with a sincere voice.
I heard you decided to be here...
for your wife, Hyun Hee.
That's right. Actually Hyun Hee...
(Jason's voice breaks with emotion.)
- I apologize. - All right.
Her father recently passed away.
She recently went through a hard time.
So I decided to be here...
to console her.
I see.
Is there anything you want to say to your wife?
My wife, Hyun Hee.
I guess it's my first time to say this...
in front of a lot of people.
I love you so much.
Well done.
That was nice.
He's a loving husband.
As a great lover,
he sang with his honey-sweet voice here today.
We wish them a long and happy marriage.
- Please give him a big hand. - Good luck.
(We wish you a long and happy marriage.)
(You are amazing, Jason.)
I really want my wife to appear in this show.
I want her to feel the thrilling moment.
But she will need to get her vocal training...
for at least 24 months.
She's tone-deaf.
Anyway, now that I sang "Will you Marry Me?" for her,
I want her to sing something in response.
That would be great.
Money above all things,
Manager Park on Payday...
was me, Jason.
Please love and support me.
Throne is Mine,
Assistant Manager Kim beats Jason...
and moves on to Round Two.
The third match of Round One.
I'll fly paper airplanes until I become the King of Mask Singer.
Paper Airplane Flying to Throne.
(Paper Airplane Flying to Throne)
Paper Airplane will land on the throne.
(Flying to the throne)
(Let's fly paper airplanes together.)
I used to fly it a lot as a kid.
(Flying)
His opponent...
will fold paper until he becomes the King of Mask Singer.
Fold a Thousand of Them,
Paper Crane.
(Fold a Thousand of Them, Paper Crane)
Now my dream of becoming the King of Mask Singer will come true.
(My dream is to become the King of Mask Singer.)
(Please grant my wish.)
He seems somewhat outstanding.
He must be a singer.
Fold it.
(A lot of young kids enjoyed origami as a hobby.)
(What would the panelists want to fold?)
(A paper airplane that flies with your hope?)
(A paper crane that grants your wish?)
("Ah-Choo" by Lovelyz)
- What? - It's our song.
("Ah-Choo" by Lovelyz)
They are singing Lovelyz's song?
I have someone.
(Paper Crane has a sweet, heart-throbbing voice...)
(with gentle charms.)
(With his husky voice,)
(Paper Airplane shows off his cute charm.)
(Their confession of love makes people smile.)
(The harmony of the two lovable men)
(Ah-choo)
I can
(Fluttering heart)
(His confession of feelings towards her makes her heart pound.)
(You don't know)
(How I feel)
(With their sweetness, the two men...)
(captivate women's hearts in this cheerful performance.)
(Falling deeply for their charms)
("Ah-Choo", the cute confession of love by the two guys)
(That was so sweet.)
(It's the best.)
The third match of Round One, the duet song competition, is over.
It was Lovelyz' "Ah-Choo" sung...
by the two masked male singers.
Coincidentally today,
the one who wrote this song and those who sang it...
are sitting in the seats for the panelists.
How was it, Yoon Sang? Wasn't their "Ah-Choo"...
cute and lovely too?
Although I participated in producing this song,
I think I was biased.
When I heard two men were about to sing it,
- I was nervous from the start. - I see.
I was wondering to myself,
"What if the song doesn't suit them?"
I've never imagined "Ah-Choo" sang by men,
but I realized that it was unexpectedly cute when they did.
It was a nice performance.
How did you feel about it, Lovelyz members?
- Mi Joo? - There is an 80 percent chance...
- Paper Crane is a balladeer. - 80 percent?
That is very high.
When he was singing, someone came across my mind.
(Really?)
- Did someone come across your mind? - Yes.
- Shall I say his initials? - Yes, please.
- H. D. G. - H. D. G?
H. D. G.
Who is it? Please tell us.
- Hong Dae Kwang. - Oh, Hong Dae Kwang.
(Is Paper Crane ballad singer Hong Dae Kwang?)
No, he isn't.
She said right away Paper Crane seems to be Hong Dae Kwang.
It seems like Paper Airplane would rap.
- Do you think he's a rapper? - Yes.
He's a very good singer,
but it looks like he's better at rap.
He got into the rhythm very well while singing.
(Paper Airplane danced constantly.)
I felt somehow he'd be a rapper.
- He's a balladeer, - Yes.
- and Paper Airplane is a rapper? - A rapper.
That was detailed. It was good information.
Let me add something now.
Considering that he's wearing these long sleeves in this hot summer,
- Okay? - he seems to be in hip-hop.
You think he has something he wants to hide?
Normally, people would roll up their sleeves like this.
But his sleeves come all the way down here, so he's in hip-hop.
In this hot summer.
- He has no tattoos. - Good.
If someone talks nonsense like that, you should show the truth.
How come you say it's nonsense whenever I say something?
- You need to show the truth. - You right.
He can easily pull up his sleeves.
In fact, King of Mask Singer is supposed to be unbiased show,
but I can't deny that we have some bias on this show.
Those who have revealed their skin in shorts have never become...
the masked king.
Green Frog actually wore tights.
There has been no masked king or queen...
who wore an outfit that looks too casual like that.
- But today, I think... - Go on.
we might have a chance for a masked king dressed casually,
judging by his clothes.
I strongly felt that.
I guess he didn't dance on purpose,
but there were some dance moves that caught our eyes.
(A cute move he probably practiced in advance)
(He brought out all his cute sides.)
He is full of confidence.
- I think so. - I see.
I'd like to add something to that.
If he's the person I think of,
- he sang "Passionate Goodbye". - "Passionate Goodbye".
He seems a lot like E Z Hyoung.
E Z Hyoung?
Does he have a similar build as E Z Hyoung?
Yes, he does.
Now, it's time to see their specialties.
First, Paper Crane will let you hear his real voice.
Now, he's going to do his impression of Hong Kyung Min.
Please start.
(I'm sorry)
(My friend)
(Surprised)
The latter part sounds similar.
It's similar, right?
Now, it's Shin Hae Chul's voice.
Please let us hear it.
(Even if)
(I lose everything I love)
(Marveling)
(I can't give up)
(He's short of breath.)
(Laughing)
(He wraps it up out of breath.)
- He was short of breath but... - The latter parts are the same.
His later parts are great.
Relax and calm down.
Contending against him is Paper Airplane.
He's great at voice imitations too.
He says he can sing any song...
with Park Sang Min's voice.
All right. Here is Zion.T's "Yanghwa BRDG"...
sang by Sang Min.
Please start.
(He suddenly starts to sing it with Sang Min's voice.)
(I was home alone every day)
(Cracking up)
(My dad was)
(A taxi driver)
(Let's be happy)
(They look so happy now.)
(He mimicked the husky voice very well.)
This is it.
(He's so good.)
(Laughing a lot)
- Awesome. - He's talented.
- That was not an easy one. - He seems to be proud.
Wow, he's the best.
Now, it's Lovelyz' "Ah-Choo"...
sang by Sang Min.
What if Sang Min sings "Ah-Choo"?
Please start.
(Ah-choo)
(The husky "ah-choo"...)
(makes them feel dizzy.)
(Are you surprised?)
(Voice impersonations guarantee laughter.)
Good.
The reactions are great.
To sustain the momentum,
he'll now sing Winner's "Really Really".
Please start singing.
(I really am Park Sang Min.)
(A perfect finish)
That's so funny.
He's really good.
Is there any reason he mimics only Sang Min?
Can he impersonate others too, but is he especially good at that?
Or all he can copy is Sang Min?
The former. He can do his impressions of others too,
but he's especially good at mimicking Sang Min.
He says you can request a song.
Please sing "My Love in Distant Memory" by Sang Min.
- Sang Min's song? - "My Love in Distant Memory".
- "My Love in Distant Memory"? - Yes.
He sounds like Sang Min but can't sing Sang Min's song?
- That doesn't make sense. - Hey.
- He doesn't know that song. - I think so.
- He only studied his voice. - He doesn't know Sang Min's songs?
It's his first hit song.
Can you sing it?
(Hesitant)
He doesn't know it. What should he do?
How come Sang Min doesn't know Sang Min's songs?
- This is a surprise. - I'm very disappointed.
All right. It's time for Paper Crane's specialty again.
He's going to do a windmill dance.
You turn your arms very quickly...
in the windmill dance.
Music, please.
(He spins his arm powerfully.)
He's spinning his arm.
(Spinning his right and left arms.)
He's a good dancer.
(He's picking up speed.)
He knows how to get into the rhythm.
It's going round and round.
(Where have we seen that kind of arm movement before?)
- It's getting bigger. - That's amazing.
(It looks familiar to something they've often seen on the roads.)
(What is that?)
He's making big circles now.
(He keeps spinning his arms nonstop.)
He has big muscles in his arms.
- This is it. - Gosh.
(He's good at spinning his arms.)
(That was unexpectedly powerful.)
How can you spin your arm that fast?
All right.
This time, it's Paper Airplane's turn.
He's going to dance to "Ah-Choo".
We didn't get to see them dance when they sang it.
Music, please.
(What would his version of "Ah-Choo" be like?)
(Moving his feet)
(He's very stiff.)
(When did we do that?)
He's just like them, isn't he?
(He moves stiffly like a soldier doing a close-order drill.)
(He returns like a soldier too.)
(He's like a new recruit during a talent show.)
(Going wild)
(He's as lovely as Lovelyz)
(Paper Airplane mesmerizes the older soldiers with his charms.)
He must be an idol singer.
How does he look like an idol singer?
(He strides to the front and ends it.)
All right. That's it.
(He's good enough to get first place at a talent show.)
What did you think, Mi Joo?
I wouldn't say he's good enough to be a member of Lovelyz,
but he did a very good job.
Every move was precise.
However, I got a decisive hint.
When he was returning, he moved like a hip-hop musician.
(He moved back like a hip hop musician.)
He is a hip-hop musician.
You saw that.
All right. I will be announcing the result.
Let's see who received more votes.
Let me reveal who you chose as the winner...
of the third match of Round One.
Let's find out.
(Paper Airplane had a warm voice...)
(that matched the lovely song he chose to sing.)
(Paper Crane was innocent and pure.)
(He had the boy-like charms.)
Is it Paper Airplane or Paper Crane?
Who will win this match...
and move on to Round Two?
- The winner is... - The winner is...
(Which work of art did the panelists choose?)
(Who among the two was chosen?)
The winner is...
- The winner is... - The winner is...
Who is it?
Paper Airplane won.
(Paper Airplane flew.)
(Paper Airplane was good.)
(It's too bad for Paper Crane.)
Paper Airplane won with a score of 64 to 35.
Please congratulate him.
(Shortly, the identity of the cute Paper Crane will be revealed.)
Paper Airplane made to Round Two.
"Ah-Choo" was me taking my first step.
I will now jump to soar higher.
Cheers.
We got an unexpected result.
We will reveal his identity with a solo performance...
prepared for Round Two.
Please give it up for him.
(His identity will be revealed with the solo performance.)
(He reminded people of E Z Hyoung and Hong Dae Kwang.)
(Who is Paper Crane?)
("Dunk Shot" by Lee Seung Hwan)
(His clean and plain voice...)
(is like a quiet night sky.)
He's around our age.
(He sings with a gentle voice...)
(as if he's telling a story.)
(His voice suits the cheerful melody...)
(and the cute lyrics.)
He's got such a beautiful voice.
(Paper Crane's got fresh charms.)
Now,
Paper Crane, please take off your mask...
and reveal your identity.
(Screaming)
He is...
(Who is he?)
I am dying to know.
Reveal your identity.
He is...
the guest vocalist who sang Toy's "Passionate Goodbye".
He's a singer-songwriter E Z Hyoung.
(They were right.)
(He gets goosebumps.)
(Even if he was behind a mask,)
(people recognized him right away.)
(He's still got the charming voice.)
(Let's cast a spell)
(One more until it works)
(E Z Hyoung's "Dunk Shot" took us back to our childhood.)
(It's so exciting.)
Rock and roll!
He's a rock musician.
(He's amazing.)
Can you say hi to the viewers?
Hello. I am E Z Hyoung.
(He sang the song "Passionate Goodbye".)
(He's E Z Hyoung, Toy's guest vocalist.)
(Yu Hui Yeol from 12 years ago)
(He's the popular original soundtrack singer.)
(With a warm voice, he became a radio deejay too.)
(He's a specialist in the indie music scene.)
You must know many people here.
There's Hyun Chul.
He guessed it to be you.
I am really surprised.
I know E Z Hyoung well.
Among musicians,
E Z Hyoung's known for his unique voice.
He sounds if he just stopped crying.
That's what it sounds like.
(It's very sorrowful.)
Can you sing a bar of "Passionate Goodbye"?
(Goodbye my precious one)
(Oh, dear.)
(As soon as we hear the song,)
(we are reminded of the memories from 2007.)
(We spent the nose-freezing winter with "Passionate Goodbye.)
(E Z Hyoung's voice brings back our memories.)
He's the one who sang this song.
(It's so lovely.)
Can you tell us about...
how you became Toy's guest vocalist?
Hui Yeol was looking for...
the vocalist for Toy's sixth album.
He held many auditions but failed to find a vocalist.
Seung Hwan introduced me to him and Hui Yeol visited me that night.
We recorded the song the day after that.
The album came out a week after that.
- Yes. - It happened all very fast.
So that's how that hit song was born.
- Yes. - Right.
Time has passed,
and now you are the father of two children.
Your children must be watching this with so much joy.
We live near MBC in Sangam.
Every weekend, I take the kids to ride their scooters.
And when they look up at the big screen,
they ask why people on the show are wearing masks.
I've never explained to them about the show.
I was afraid they might say, "You're a singer. Go on that show."
So I sometimes dragged them home.
My goodness. Your children must be watching right now.
Your daddy is here. Wave your hand for your children.
Kids, your father is here.
I am sure it would be a special memory for them.
Let's hope he will continue to sing passionately.
Please give it up for him.
Thank you.
Cheers!
(Go, E Z Hyoung!)
None of my family members know that I am here.
If I tell them I'd be on this show, my family would be so happy.
If ever...
it got called off,
they were going to feel disappointed.
That's why I didn't tell them.
E Dan, E Pop, Daddy is on TV.
Let's have fun and play every day.
Thank you. I love you.
Fold a Thousand of Them,
Paper Crane was me, E Z Hyoung.
Thank you.
Paper Airplane Flying to Throne...
defeats E Z Hyoung and moves on to Round Two.
The last match of Round One.
Who's the King of Mask Singer?
Your ideal type?
A beautiful woman? A dollish woman?
A handsome man!
Handsome Vampire!
(Who's the King of Mask Singer? Handsome Vampire)
I'll become the new King of Mask Singer today.
(He enters with an extraordinary aura.)
(Everyone is already overwhelmed by it.)
- He's a tall man. - He's very tall.
Gosh, he's really tall.
Let's meet his opponent.
"I thought I could take the throne this way."
How Much Is the Throne?
Rich Arab Prince!
(How Much Is the Throne? Rich Arab Prince)
I'm going to take over King of Mask Singer.
(He comes out looking confident.)
(It raises people's expectations.)
Oh, my. He really looks like an Arab prince.
Gosh, he looks really rich.
He looks very charismatic.
It feels like looking at the next masked king.
He's really tall.
They're both tall.
(Their great charisma fills up the stage.)
(Who between them will fascinate the audience?)
(Vampire with his spooky looks?)
(Or Arab Prince who came to sing with his precious voice?)
("You in My Arms" by Yoo Jae Ha)
This song has very high notes.
(Excited)
(His beautiful voice sets down like a flower petal.)
(Surprised)
(His voice somehow sounds familiar.)
It's hard to be sure.
(Is he who I think he is?)
(My love)
(No way.)
(Come in my arms)
It's him.
I think he's who we think he is.
(Is it really him?)
(My love)
(Come in my arms)
(Let's have)
(A dream of love together)
The part that goes, "come in my arms" was amazing.
("You in My Arms", a touching love song by Vampire and Arab Prince)
(They're touched by the performance.)
That was great.
(It was the best.)
The last match of Round One is now over.
What did you think? Young Seok.
Let me talk about Arab Prince first.
He has a rich man's nickname,
and he has a beautiful voice.
He's got a voice that shines like a piece of...
crafted metal.
It sounded very sharp.
He sang a little bit like Ryeo Wook of Super Junior.
- Oh, yes. - You're right.
His voice sounded very familiar,
but I can't tell who he is.
I don't know who he is,
but I found that little tremble in his voice very charming.
I see.
As for Handsome Vampire,
I think it's a great thing...
that people recognize you even if you try to hide it.
Listen. I don't think he's wearing a wig.
(Is his actual hair blue?)
It looks like you all know who he is.
Bobby Kim came on our show before, right?
As soon as he started singing, we recognized him.
(His voice gave him away.)
(As everyone expected, it was Bobby Kim behind the mask.)
- JK Kim Dong Wook as well. - JK Kim Dong Wook?
When he was here, we recognized him right away too.
(People recognized...)
(his unique thick voice right away.)
It's JK Kim Dong Wook!
For this person, however, it's his singing style...
that's like his fingerprints.
- His singing style? - Yes.
I could see that Handsome Vampire was...
trying so hard...
to sing like a different person, believing that he could fool us.
What amazed me even more was the part where...
he went, "Come in my arms".
That's the part that ruled out every other possibility.
It was such a poor disguise. It's like he left his fingerprints.
- His disguise was useless? - Yes.
For the first time since I joined this show,
because of a single part that the masked singer sang,
the audience and I looked at each other...
- and nodded in agreement. - "Come in my arms".
(Come in my arms)
(It's him, isn't it?)
Everyone knew...
that it was him when he sang that part.
It'd feel so good...
if he just took off his mask and sang that part again.
Please do it now.
- We really want... - Just do it.
- to listen to him sing live. - Do it now.
- Please do it now. - All right.
You know what? Even right now,
he's trying to hide his identity.
To make himself look shorter,
he's standing with his feet apart.
I applaud him for trying so hard to hide his identity.
All right.
(Applauding)
(Pointing at the panelists)
What?
You guys are so simple-minded.
- What? - He says you're simple-minded.
I think you're making Arab Prince feel left out.
- Please understand. - Because of Vampire.
- Arab Prince is... - Does he know who Vampire is?
He doesn't know.
When Arab Prince started singing,
I got goosebumps.
Having a powerful voice is important when it comes to singing,
but it's also very hard...
to make your voice so thin and beautiful.
We should also pay attention to how he sang "in my arms" as well.
When Arab Prince sang that part,
he suddenly used his head voice and showed off his singing skills.
That means he's a professional singer.
- You think so? - Yes.
- I agree. - "In my arms" is a key part today.
It seems like everyone is pretty sure who Vampire is,
and no one knows who Arab Prince is.
Let's check out their specialties...
and see how it changes...
your assumption.
Let's start with Arab Prince.
You must be very curious who he is.
He will imitate...
a Japanese voice actor who dubs animations.
Let us hear it.
(Soft music from a Japanese animated film starts to play.)
(I've been thinking...)
(that you, Bong Sun,)
(have become a lot prettier.)
(He's speaking Japanese, but it's so easy to understand.)
(I can't sing.)
(What am I talking about?)
(I have no idea.)
(Groaning)
It's the character from "Spirited Away".
- It's Kaonashi. - Kaonashi.
Is he asking for money?
(He's asking for Bong Sun, not money.)
(She doesn't know what to do.)
All right, let's stop here.
(That was cute.)
He impersonated the voice of Haku from "Spirited Away", right?
Was that it?
I think it was the scene where he expresses his feelings.
- It was for you, Bong Sun. - It's my favorite animation.
He expressed his feelings to you in Japanese.
Why don't you send him a reply?
In Japanese?
- All of a sudden? - All of a sudden?
He's suddenly putting her in a tight spot.
Give and take, you know what I mean?
- Play some music then. - All right.
- Gosh. - Bong Sun will send him a reply.
This won't be so easy.
She's heard how he feels about her. Music, please.
(Watching carefully)
I see.
(I've had...)
(my nose done.)
(The best confession is about plastic surgery indeed.)
(Thank you.)
(Thank you, Haku.)
(He's feeling upset.)
(He's still feeling upset.)
(Don't tell me you did it illegally.)
(He ends it by warning her not to do any illegal plastic surgery.)
He's saved her.
- He's saved Bong Sun. - I know.
- He's good. - He's witty.
He sounded a bit clumsy when he spoke in Japanese,
but he's still got skills.
- That's what I think. - He's good.
But I'm sure about one thing.
I don't think he's an actor.
- Was it not so good? - When he performed,
I could hear the lyrics clearly.
But it wasn't the same when he talked.
- I see. - Yes.
- You don't think he's an actor. - No.
- I think he's a singer. - I see.
- This time, it's Vampire's... - His kicks.
(Will Vampire show off his kicks?)
No, not his kicks.
He'll let you hear his real voice.
He's going to impersonate the voices...
of Mori Takeshi and Eugene Choi from "Mr. Sunshine".
Do you know why my English didn't improve?
I learned the Joseon language instead of English at that time.
Look forward to it.
Because I'm going to kill you.
He'll mimic the conversation of the two.
He can do such a thing?
He'll act two roles at the same time. Please start.
Do you know why I can't speak English?
Because I learned the Joseon language.
I might kill you before then.
All right.
It sounded similar.
- He has a lot of specialties. - I know.
This time, he'll mimic the bullet-proof glass scene...
of Kim Hee Won from the movie, "The Man from Nowhere".
Shoot me!
Try it.
(Kim Hee Won and Won Bin face each other over bulletproof glass.)
This is bulletproof.
He's going to show us the dramatized version of it.
Please start.
Shoot it if you can. This is BTS' car.
(This is BTS' car.)
(Laughing)
Army is going to come.
(The army is going to come.)
(BTS' Army is going to come.)
- I know his sense of humor. - Seong Ju.
That's a unique sense of humor.
I think he's here to show off his specialties,
not to perform.
- It's not true. - Well...
It's so funny how he's becoming himself the more he does it.
He has about 10 more to show, but let's stop here.
The minority might have different opinions.
- "What?" Look at his face. - This is unbelievable.
- He looks so hurt. - Even the minority would know...
- who he is. - I'm also a Korean citizen.
Of course, some people might not know who he is,
but I just can't say I don't today.
Is that right?
No? Vampire strongly denies it.
But you're clueless who Arab Prince is, right?
We're too preoccupied to think about Arab Prince.
I see. How will the result turn out to be?
Let me announce the result of the last match of Round One.
Goodness,
it's neck and neck.
The voting difference of the panelists is 7 to 6.
Adding the votes given by the regular panelists,
there's only a five-vote difference.
It's crazy.
(Their score differs by only 5 votes.)
All right. Between Handsome Vampire and Arab Prince,
who is the last winner of Round One?
Please show us the result.
(With his soft, beautiful voice,)
(Arab Prince expressed the uneasy tremor.)
(The rough, charming original voice)
(In my arms)
(This single measure put Vampire in danger of exposing his identity.)
Between Vampire and Arab Prince,
who is the winner of this match?
- The winner is... - The winner is...
The winner is...
- The winner is... - The winner is...
(Who captured the audience's hearts?)
(It's nerve-racking.)
- The winner is... - The winner is...
Who is it?
(Who's the King of Mask Singer? Handsome Vampire wins.)
Vampire is the winner.
(They got bitten by Vampire.)
(His identity and charms...)
(are separate matters.)
Vampire is the winner.
According to the voting result,
Vampire wins the match.
Too bad for Arab Prince.
- Poor Arab Prince. - Gosh.
He's devastated. Don't fall down.
He performed with all his might,
but he wasn't enough to beat "Come in my arms".
"Come in my arms".
It was too impactful.
Vampire, please go get ready for Round Two.
- Hurry in. - Give him a round of applause.
Move to the waiting room.
Vampire advances to Round Two.
I'm going to reach the throne now that things turned out this way.
(Threatening)
What an unusual match.
I'm feeling bad for Arab Prince.
(He's sulking.)
- Oh, well. - No wonder why he's sulking.
I understand.
He was unlucky with whom he was up against.
I'm sorry, but there's nothing we can do about it.
Let's check his identity along with his solo performance.
Please give him a big hand.
(His identity will be revealed along with his solo performance.)
(His sharp, beautiful voice...)
(gave the audience goosebumps from the first measure.)
(If he isn't an actor, would he be a singer?)
("Fake Love" by BTS)
(Isn't it BTS' song?)
What an unexpected way of arrangement.
(His song arrangement raises the audience's expectations.)
(The quiet introduction is imposing already.)
This is strong.
(His charisma overwhelms the studio in a second.)
(His beautiful voice...)
(was hiding its sharp sound.)
(Arab Prince rages like a swirling storm with his rock voice.)
(The cry of an empty-hearted man...)
(who dedicated everything for his love)
Now, Arab Prince, please take off your mask...
and reveal your identity.
Who is it?
I bet he's young.
He is...
(Screaming)
(It's crazy.)
He has such long hair.
(Wait a second.)
Please take off your mask and reveal your identity.
He is...
His bewitching charms cross music and acting.
He's No Min Woo, the singer and actor with 16 years of experience.
(Arab Prince is No Min Woo?)
No Min Woo!
(The charismatic masked singer was No Min Woo.)
(His identity is unbelievable even after seeing his face.)
(This is amazing.)
(There was a reason for his unusual aura.)
(He has the whole audience in the palm of his hand.)
(He's so good.)
(A spellbinding rocker, No Min Woo performed "Fake Love".)
That was amazing.
He looks even more handsome than his mask.
Would you like to say hi to the viewers?
Hello, I'm No Min Woo. Nice to meet you.
(He's the real-life Prince Charming in the Korean music industry.)
(With his perfect visual, he even took over the drama industry.)
(In "Partners for Justice", he played a creepy villain...)
(and grabbed our attention with a new makeover.)
(No Min Woo is a charismatic man both on and off the stage.)
What a shame.
I think you were unlucky with your opponent.
I had no idea I would be...
contending against that person.
I thought he might be a volleyball player.
- A volleyball player. - Yes.
Because he's tall.
- That's possible. - I had no idea.
There's still a chance that he's a volleyball player.
Right. I thought he was an athlete.
So I was relieved.
But the people here seem to be convinced that it's him.
If he takes off his mask next week...
and turns out to be a volleyball player, it will be pretty upsetting.
I will cry at home.
It's been some time since you were on a stage as a singer, right?
In Japan, I have been a vocalist...
of a rock band.
But in Korea, this might be my first performance...
as a vocalist.
I used to be a drummer.
- Of TRAX. - Right.
He's very famous among us musicians.
Even his guitar skills are as good as professional guitarists.
You know that, right?
How was it singing with the mask on?
Rather than my performance,
I was overwhelmed by Vampire's presence.
You don't have to be.
The second you revealed your face and we heard you singing,
the tables turned.
- We forgot about Vampire. - You forgot about him.
Many people are regretting now.
We should have voted for No Min Woo.
Well for me,
even when he was masked,
I loved his voice and voted for him.
- Thank you. - Your voice was amazing.
Actually, I was surprised...
to see another mask when you took off the mask.
(His gracious visual...)
(shocked everyone.)
(He's so good-looking.)
(Look at his handsome nose.)
(Oh, my goodness. I didn't see this coming.)
He looks so beautiful.
What a shame.
With his outstanding look and charisma,
No Min Woo showed off his magical charms.
- Please give him a big hand! - Thank you.
(We will be cheering for you, No Min Woo.)
(Keep it up.)
Being judged by people...
with a mask on made me very nervous.
I was looking at the audience's faces.
Watching them focusing on my voice...
gave me energy.
How Much Is the Throne?
Rich Arab Prince...
was me, No Min Woo.
Please continue...
watching "Partners for Justice" until the end.
Who's the King of Mask Singer?
Handsome Vampire beats No Min Woo and moves on to Round Two.
(Next week)
(King of Mask Singer, Cartoon Land)
(The most adorable contestants ever...)
(will take you back to your childhood.)
(So adorable.)
(Behind the innocence...)
(is incredible musical talents.)
(A mind-blowing vocalist shows up?)
(Nobody can predict...)
(the biggest twist ever in King of Mask Singer history.)
(Who will complete the story of King of Mask Singer?)
(It will be revealed next week.)
