The shocking performances will beat...
the heat wave of July.
The mysterious music show, King of Mask Singer.
(We are excited.)
Previously, she managed to win for the third time...
with raging sorrow.
She's the 105th Queen of Mask Singer,
I'm on Duty Today, Nightingale.
(It's good to see you.)
(Um Ji and SinB of GFRIEND)
The masked singers will have intense competition...
to win the first golden mask of July.
Who will become the 106th King of Mask Singer?
The duet competition begins now.
(It begins now.)
(King of Mask Singer)
The first match of Round One.
My singing is so tasteful.
Don't pick another person.
Don't Drop Me, Mayonnaise.
(Don't Drop Me, Mayonnaise)
My singing will delight your ears.
(Let's immerse into his gentleness and tastefulness.)
(We already love it.)
Dried pollack with...
- sliced Cheongyang chili peppers. - With Cheongyang chili peppers.
You can dip it in mayonnaise and soy sauce.
Contending against him is this masked singer.
There will be no masked king who won't fall for her after 10 tries.
Have Me as Much as You Want, Ketchup.
(Have Me as Much as You Want, Ketchup)
Dip it in ketchup and take it to the throne.
(Are you ready to pick me?)
(Of course.)
It's not the local ketchup.
I want to squeeze her.
She's cute.
(It's the competition of two popular sauces.)
(Which sauce will capture the tastebuds of the panelists?)
(Is it salty and flavorful Mayonnaise?)
(Or is it sweet and sour Ketchup?)
(The cheerful intro...)
(makes everyone dance.)
What's this song?
Is it Kang San Eh?
(At that moment, we hear a familiar melody.)
"Night After Night".
("Night After Night" by In Soon I)
(He powerfully sings the intro.)
(His clear voice harmonizes with the exciting rhythm.)
(It's exciting.)
(Mayonnaise's cool charms...)
(are added to the cheerful song.)
(He fearlessly sings high too.)
(She sings the first bar with her unusual voice.)
(Ketchup instantly establishes her unique character.)
(Her voice is cute and cheerful.)
(I think it's her.)
(Her soulful voice captures our ears.)
(She freely controls the dynamics too.)
(Ketchup dominates the mood.)
(It's an original combination of Mayonnaise and Ketchup.)
(Their voices naturally harmonize.)
(Mayonnaise and Ketchup's voice completely fill the stage.)
(Mayonnaise has a clear and powerful voice.)
(Ketchup has the free-spirited and unique sentimentality.)
(I don't know.)
(Mayonnaise and Ketchup's "Night After Night" was cheerful.)
I don't know who they are, but the performance was nice.
Good job.
It was nice.
(They are the best.)
The first match of Round One has now come to an end.
Among the celebrity panelists we have today,
this man stands out.
JK Kim Dong Uk is here.
(My goodness.)
(Hello.)
(It's good to see you.)
What did you think about the performance?
I couldn't help but sing along...
as I watched the performance.
I took note...
of which masked singer became absorbed...
to the mood of the song...
and livened up the atmosphere.
Mayonnaise has a charming baritone voice.
At first, he seemed a bit nervous.
Towards the end, he took command of the stage.
- The atmosphere was nice. - It was nice.
As for Ketchup, she has good cheer.
When Ketchup began to sing,
she sang the exact note...
- despite the different key. - I see.
The thing is,
I recognized Ketchup because of a certain gesture.
Before she began to sing, she did this.
(She rolled her shoulders.)
(She got caught.)
(She moved her body as if she was stretching.)
(I am familiar with that gesture.)
That gesture made me think,
"She must be who I think she is."
That's why I won't say more. I enjoyed the performance.
Bong Sun and I talked about...
- who Ketchup could be, - Okay.
but we are still a bit unsure.
Isn't Ketchup a bit big...
to be her?
It could be the yo-yo effect.
(The yo-yo effect?)
She recently had a big event in her life,
so her heart could be more at ease.
She could have begun to overeat.
(She could have begun to overeat.)
- That's right. - Thus,
she could be suffering from the yo-yo effect.
The way she sang the song...
- was very tasteful. - That's right.
She is someone who does everything tastefully...
in her field.
I think it showed in the performance.
As for Mayonnaise,
he could be the man who lives with her.
That's impossible.
I had that thought.
- That's impossible. - Are you saying they are married?
- That's wrong. - I had that thought.
- That's wrong. - If Mayonnaise isn't her husband,
he must be someone who was born in the early 80s.
I think he is someone...
who isn't used to singing cheerful songs...
and dancing to fast-tempo songs.
Judging from the way he sang, I am sure he is a singer.
- You think he is a singer. - Yes.
Young Seok.
It felt like a match of the spirits,
not singing skills.
Although his nickname is Mayonnaise,
his voice has a hint of mustard.
His voice has a hint of mustard.
The vibration in the end note belongs to a singer.
When he hit high notes,
he burned his energy.
He had no regard for himself.
- As for Ketchup... - Ketchup.
I thought she wouldn't sing well since she is a popular comedienne,
but she sang very well.
She has many talents.
She has a lively voice.
All right. We listened to a variety of opinions.
It's time to check out their specialties.
Let's start with Ketchup's specialty.
She will imitate sounds.
To warm up,
she will imitate the sound...
of spraying air freshener after using the restroom.
(Like this?)
Let's say the smell is average.
It's not too bad.
The smell is average.
Let's hear it.
(Spraying)
(Spraying once was enough to eliminate the smell.)
It was a warmup.
That's how it goes when the smell is average.
Let's say it smells horrible.
You need to spray a lot.
Let's hear it.
(Ketchup takes a sniff.)
(The air freshener isn't very effective.)
(What is wrong with it?)
(Go away, odor.)
(She eliminates the bad odor.)
(The air seems fresher.)
She is a comedienne.
Hello.
Bong Sun's theory of the yo-yo effect...
is beginning to seem likely.
The theory of the yo-yo effect seems likely.
This time, we will see Mayonnaise's specialty.
He will show off...
his incredible strength.
They say the strength of the body is the strength of the nation.
I will give you 60 seconds.
In the 1st step, you will throw 10 punches.
In the 2nd step, you will do 30 pushups.
Lastly, you will jump rope 40 times.
Then you will high-five me.
- In 60 seconds? - Really?
No way.
Get ready.
(Will Mayonnaise be able to succeed?)
Set, go.
He threw 10 punches.
30 pushups.
3, 4.
(He does pushups with ease.)
7, 8, 9...
(He is very good.)
(We fast-forwarded the video because he is really good.)
- That's good. - 29, 30.
- That's good. - Jump rope 40 times.
- 24 seconds have passed. - Hurry up and do it.
Jump rope 40 times.
You don't have much time. You have 30 seconds left.
2, 3, 4.
Start over.
Start over. Start over.
(He starts over.)
1, 2, 3, 4,
5, 6, 7...
(His 2nd attempt fails.)
(Mayonnaise tries again.)
(Let's go.)
7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12...
(He fails.)
Just jump rope 10 times.
(The onlookers feel bad.)
(He fails.)
(Time passes fast.)
(Please)
(He is almost done.)
- Time's up. - Time's up, right?
The music went on for a minute.
In total, you jumped rope about 40 times.
He did a good job.
- He did a good job. - The jumping rope got caught.
It's because of the mask.
Please focus.
This time, Ketchup will show her specialty.
She will show us the dance...
she enjoys on a regular basis.
The genre is the sexy dance.
The sexy dance.
I can't wait to see it.
Are you ready?
Music, please.
(It's a familiar song.)
(The sexy and charismatic Chung Ha's "Gotta Go")
(The cute Ketchup's sexy dance)
(My goodness.)
(Sexy)
(Her footsteps are incredible.)
(She has amazing dance skills.)
(She isn't ketchup.)
My goodness.
(She is hot sauce.)
(The atmosphere becomes heated up.)
(What?)
(She exudes sexiness.)
(The panelists love it.)
(Only mature tomatoes can become ketchup.)
She is sexy.
She is alluring.
(She imitated Chung Ha perfectly.)
(My goodness.)
My goodness.
- The mask! - She got the dance moves right.
Her dance...
Your mask got bent.
The tomato fell off...
because of the powerful dance moves.
(Hanging)
It felt as if the hot sauce had been added to the ketchup.
- It was hot. - It was hot.
- Yes. - The body rolls were nice.
I know.
GFRIEND members,
how was her dance?
The duet performance made me think...
that she is a talented woman.
- That's right. - Upon seeing the dance,
I thought, "I was right."
"When it comes to good cheer,"
"she is second to none."
Is good cheer all she has?
- Well... - Are you saying...
- she has no dance skills? - Her dance...
had the best details.
- Really? - It had the groove.
- It had the groove. - They come from good cheer.
Now, the result.
I will now announce the result...
of the first match of Round One.
You will be very surprised.
The final score from the panelists...
is 7 to 6.
One vote divided the result. It's neck-and-neck.
I'll now reveal...
the winner of this match...
who appealed to your tastes.
(The low and husky voice)
(Mayonnaise showed his powerful singing skills.)
(Explosion of good cheer and talent)
(Ketchup showed her charms and years of experiences.)
Will it be the milky masked singer with a nutty voice,
Mayonnaise?
Will it be the masked singer with red passion, Ketchup?
Who is the winner of this match?
- The winner is... - The winner is...
(The winner is...)
(Who captivated the audience, Mayonnaise or Ketchup?)
(Her heart beats fast.)
- The winner is... - The winner is...
Who is it?
(Have Me as Much as You Want, Ketchup wins.)
The winner is Ketchup.
(We dip you, Ketchup.)
See? I told you!
Gosh, really?
(The panelists are all surprised.)
The winner is Ketchup.
Ketchup defeated Mayonnaise...
and won this match.
The score is 60 to 39.
60 to 39.
You should now go and fix your mask.
Please go back to your waiting room.
Let's give her a big hand.
Ketchup advances to Round Two.
Please vote for me in Round Two as well.
Now, let's find out who Mayonnaise is.
We'll reveal his identity...
with a solo performance.
Please give him a big round of applause.
(Mayonnaise's identity will be revealed.)
(They're certain that he's a professional singer.)
(Who's Mayonnaise, the singer with a special voice?)
(The piano sounds mellow.)
I love this song.
("Miracles in December" by EXO)
(Mayonnaise captivates the audience as soon as he starts singing.)
(From his relaxed voice,)
(you can feel that he's an extraordinary singer.)
- He must be a singer. - I know.
I can tell he's a singer.
Oh, my gosh.
(His ardent voice touches your heart.)
He's melting my heart.
(He confesses his lingering love...)
(and deep regrets.)
(My love)
(Keeps changing me)
Now,
Mayonnaise, please take off your mask...
and reveal your face.
He is...
Please take off your mask...
and reveal your face.
He is...
the vocalist of Izi, the modern rock band who sang "Emergency Room",
Oh Jin Sung!
- Jin Sung! - Goodness!
The one who sang "Emergency Room"?
"Emergency Room".
I can't believe this.
(He's at a loss for words.)
(He's still got his sad voice that touches your heart.)
(He pours his hearts out like he's roaring.)
(They just watch him in awe.)
(His frustration is fully conveyed.)
(My love for you)
(Will never end)
Thank you.
("Miracles in December" by Oh Jin Sung)
(That was incredible.)
(I wish he didn't have to go.)
It's a shame.
Please say hello to our viewers.
Hello, everyone.
I'm Oh Jin Sung, the vocalist of Izi.
- It's great to be here. - All right.
(Oh Jin Sung of Izi,)
(the singer of a megahit, "Emergency Room")
(It's the soundtrack of "Sassy Girl Chun Hyang".)
(Even after all these years,)
(many people sing this song in karaoke.)
(Oh Jin Sung's husky voice touches everyone's heart.)
I told you many times to focus on his voice,
but you didn't think he was Jin Sung who sang "Emergency Room".
Gu Ra, you seem surprised as well.
I voted for him,
so I was relieved.
(My gosh.)
Actually, I've never been...
on a competition TV show like this,
and it made me quite nervous.
- It's a shame. - I see.
Actually,
we asked him to come on our show many times...
over the last few years.
But there was a certain reason why he couldn't,
so we couldn't ask him anymore.
I had a polyp in my vocal cords twice,
so I had to take some time off work.
I'm getting better now.
That's good to hear.
"Emergency Room" was released...
about 15 years ago.
- That's right. - Yes.
But even now, it's very popular in karaoke.
It's the best song for me...
which I will always love for the rest of my life.
Some people also sang that song on our show.
Do you remember anyone in particular?
I remember Sandeul singing it.
Oh, yes. He did a great job.
(Sandeul sang "Emergency Room" as Blooming Silky Chicken,)
(which helped him advance to Final Match.)
I'm very grateful that people still sing that song and talk about me.
It's the thing that helps me keep working as a singer.
If it's okay with you,
could you sing it for us?
(Please sing it for us.)
We've got to hear it.
Whenever I sing "Emergency Room", it brings tears to my eyes...
- because everyone sings along. - "You fool".
Please give him a big hand.
Please sing along. Thank you.
(Even the intro gives you a thrill.)
(You fool, you got me wrong)
(This is the voice that touched everyone's heart back then.)
(It's like this is his concert.)
(Everyone sings along in unison.)
(It's a touching performance.)
(He's completely overwhelmed.)
("Emergency Room" by the original singer, Oh Jin Sung)
(That was great.)
- Thank you. - Gosh.
I'm the fool.
Yoon Seok, this must be special for you since you love rock music.
Yes. I was the fool in the lyrics.
- Right. - I listened to that song...
thousands of times.
But you didn't recognize his voice.
I know. I made a big mistake today.
Anyhow, l got to hear his voice after a long time.
It's still very powerful,
enchanting, and thick.
It also sounded like vocal music.
His voice has five kinds of charm,
just like his surname suggests.
You've still got it, Jin Sung.
It's great to see you.
You were amazing.
He's a singer who brings back old memories.
I hope he will continue singing...
with a healthy voice for a long time.
Please give Jin Sung a big hand.
Thank you.
(Go, Jin Sung!)
When I hurt my vocal cords,
I had a really hard time.
But my fans told me they were grateful that I'm still singing...
despite my condition,
so I thought I shouldn't give up.
Also, looking at the young singers...
who sing for their dreams brings back my passion...
because music is my dream.
Don't Drop Me, Mayonnaise...
was me, Oh Jin Sung of Izi.
I will come back with great music. Thank you.
This is the result of Round One.
Have Me as Much as You Want, Ketchup...
defeats Oh Jin Sung of Izi...
and moves on to Round Two.
The second match of Round Two.
Every household should have this voice.
Earcandy Boyfriend for Every Household!
(Earcandy Boyfriend for Every Household)
King of Mask Singer should have Earcandy Boyfriend as well!
(It's time to delight your ears.)
(We're ready to enjoy your song.)
Oh, he looks like a stylish person.
Every household should have someone like him indeed.
Let's meet his opponent.
"You're my honey"?
No.
"Candy to my ears"?
No.
Honey to My Ears,
Honey Voice!
(Honey to My Ears, Honey Voice)
I will melt your heart with my sweet voice.
(She has a voice as sweet as honey.)
(You're melting our hearts already.)
She's like Earcandy Girlfriend.
She doesn't seem nervous at all.
She looks shy but confident.
(The match between two singers with amazing voices)
(Whose voice will capture the audience's ears?)
(Whose voice will be the one that suits the audience's preference?)
(Will it be Earcandy Boyfriend that smoothens their ears?)
(Or will it be Honey Voice that melts their ears?)
("1, 2, 3, 4" by Lee Hi)
Come on now
I say 1, 2, 3
(He's good.)
(He fills the studio with his charming voice.)
(Amazed)
(Who is it? His voice sounds familiar.)
(I'll take responsibility for your ears' satisfaction.)
(Just enjoy!)
(House Band)
(Bouncing to the music)
(Her sweet voice captures the audience's ears...)
(from her first measure.)
(Sometimes I'm sexy, sometimes I'm feminine)
(Her soulful husky voice is enticing.)
(It's amazing.)
Hey, baby.
(Leave me)
(Their ad-libbing is full of groove.)
(The two young people who are proud towards love)
("1, 2, 3, 4" by Earcandy Boyfriend and Honey Voice)
(The audience's ears are certainly enjoying luxury today.)
This is crazy. They're so good.
They're good.
(Both of them are good.)
Either one of them might advance to the end today.
Either one of them for certain.
The second match...
of Round One has ended.
The duet performance of these two masked singers...
was heartwarming just to watch.
Their voices sounded so charming.
Narsha, your eyes are open wide.
It's very confusing.
(Is it confusing?)
From the moment...
when Earcandy Boyfriend made his entrance,
he showed a lot of relaxed gestures.
He could've been acting...
because you know, when someone's so nervous,
they tend to act like they aren't.
Just by seeing his behavior and his way of singing,
he seems like a hard-trained lead vocalist...
of an idol group.
(A lead vocalist of an idol group who has practiced for a long time)
And he keeps touching his mic...
as if he wants to show...
that he's experienced. Like that!
Like that!
(Like this?)
I'm not sure if he's actually experienced...
or it's just an act,
but the way he looks itself...
feels like a lead vocalist of an idol group.
What if Gu Ra was in those skinny jeans?
It's just hard to imagine.
(What if Gu Ra was in skinny jeans?)
- It'd be so awkward. - I have long legs too.
Okay, I get it.
- I'm 185cm tall. - Okay.
- All of a sudden? - "185cm".
But as for Honey Voice,
I could sense her experience and skills from her voice.
It means she's pretty aged.
- Right. - It only makes sense then.
But her looks...
seem very young like a baby.
She looks very young.
So I'm very confused.
I think she's your age, Narsha.
No, no.
I think she's very young.
But you can't fake your voice.
Is that a compliment or what?
I mean, someone in her early 20s...
(Laughing)
can't make such a skillful voice.
It's hardly possible.
- So she can't be in her early 20s. - That's right.
In that sense,
she's deluding the audience.
- She's pretty aged, - Right.
- but she's dressed unlike her age. - At least...
Narsha's age. That's what I think.
(Gu Ra thinks she's Narsha's age.)
There's a hot debate on her age going on.
- Let me correct something. - What is it?
You keep discussing her age,
but she's young.
- Is she? - Yes.
You're full of certainty unlike how you are these days.
Her voice reminded me of An Ji Young from BOL4.
Her voice is high but husky...
which is very rare.
Thus, in terms of guessing someone's age with their voice,
you can't say her voice tone is that of an aged singer.
- I see. That's what's important. - I want to stress that.
What about this person?
He might be in his early or mid-20s at the most.
He might be in his 20s at the most.
So that's your guess about his age.
"At the most".
This is a tricky match.
Both of them have the outstanding singing ability.
First off, Earcandy Boyfriend has such a nice voice...
just like his nickname.
But his voice sounds like a playboy.
- Like a playboy? - I mean...
Here's what it's about.
When women talk about their boyfriend,
they sometimes go,
"Your boyfriend is handsome, but he seems like a playboy."
That's what Earcandy Boyfriend's singing style is like.
But the more you hear his voice,
you'll know he's obedient and honorable.
That's my impression about him.
I think he has two identities.
He's an idol singer and an artist.
He showed such a nice performance.
As for Honey Voice,
her voice feels like honey...
- made by American bees. - Oh, really?
Does she feel like Korean American?
She might've listened to a lot of pop and jazz songs...
as she grew up.
Her musical sentiments are very sophisticated...
and modern.
I'm completely in love with her voice.
She did an amazing job.
I see, so you fell for her charms.
It's time to see their specialties.
Honey Voice's specialty is...
that she can sing Korean pop songs in a pansori version.
She'll sing in her real voice for this specialty.
"Spring Day" by BTS.
(The first song is "Spring Day" by BTS.)
"Canicular Day"?
No, "Spring Day".
Oh, I see.
She'll sing it in a pansori version.
Please do it with your real voice, Honey Voice.
(It's a sentimental song in a medium tempo.)
(Can it be changed into a pansori song?)
Go ahead.
(Snowflakes)
(Fall down)
What a skill.
(It sounds much more enchanting and sorrowful.)
(I'm longing)
(Getting emotional)
(It's a song about the person you long for.)
(We're longing to see BTS on this show.)
Maybe this honey wasn't made in America.
It's definitely Korean.
It's Korean.
(Next is "Abracadabra" by Brown Eyed Girls)
(It's my song.)
(I become determined)
(It's enough to be played at a ssireum game right away.)
(So that you break up with her)
(How enchanting.)
It sounded so enchanting.
I even wondered if this really was Brown Eyed Girls' song.
It sounded like a love story in a senior-citizen center.
The woman who's praying for her ex...
to break up with his new girlfriend might be in her 60s at least.
(She is in her 60s?)
The way I see it,
Honey Voice...
might be a singer who performs the kind of music...
I perform.
You caught that from her performance just now.
Also at the duet performance,
I could feel a little bit of the trot vibe.
Judging by her body only, she's in her 20s.
She's not chubby like old people.
Usually, people get chubby as they grow old.
I was already chubby when I was 20.
I think she's either in her early or mid-20s.
I think she's a singer who is specialized in trot.
When you said she performs like you, what did you mean?
He's saying he wants to hear you sing.
Right. How would you sing?
Let me show you how I sing.
He'll sing a children's song like a trot song.
(Expectant)
A children's song in trot version.
(He plays the guitar.)
("Three Bears" in trot version)
Father bear, mother bear, baby bear
(Father bear is fat)
(Mother bear is thin)
(Baby bear is so cute)
(Shrug shrug)
(Go, Jin Hae Sung!)
("Three Bears" is one cheerful song.)
(This song is...)
("Rough" by GFRIEND)
(This is nice!)
(We will meet)
(I will be always waiting for you)
Oh, my. It sounds so plaintive.
I couldn't tell you
(It gets faster and rhythmical.)
("Rough" is performed by an old lady's friend.)
(He bends, flips, and plays with the notes.)
(If only I could run through time)
(You are the best!)
Thank you.
He has prepared a lot.
You seem to have prepared a lot today.
Now, us panelists should also prepare a gig like this.
(Jin Hae Sung has prepared a proper trot lesson.)
So that's what trot is like.
Now, we're going to watch Earcandy Boyfriend dance.
He seems pretty confident.
Let's see what it will be like. Please start the music.
(Music starts.)
(Bounce)
He's got the groove.
There he starts.
See if he could be a member of a boy group or not.
(He's got the move!)
I think you have to carefully observe him.
(He's good!)
(The atmosphere suddenly changes.)
It's not over yet.
(I want to do it too.)
It's not over yet. Please keep watching him.
(He shoots hearts.)
(It gets heated up.)
(Shake it!)
(He's got the swagger.)
- That's a wrap. - He has many years of experience.
He has shown different kinds of moves. Good.
Now I will announce the result of the second match of Round One.
The voices we would die to possess.
Between Earcandy Boyfriend and Honey Voice,
who is the winner...
that truly pleased our ears?
Let's find out right now!
(He has a steady and firm voice.)
(Earcandy Boyfriend has the voice you want to possess.)
(Her voice is sweet like honey.)
(Honey Voice has a treasured voice.)
Whose voice do you want?
Between Earcandy Boyfriend and Honey Voice,
who is the winner of the match?
- The winner is... - The winner is...
The winner is...
(I'm so nervous.)
(Whose voice stole the panelists' hearts?)
What is your choice?
- The winner is... - The winner is...
Who is the winner?
(Honey Voice is the winner.)
Honey Voice is the winner.
(Honey Voice filled the panelists' ears with her sweet voice!)
(I knew she would win.)
(But Earcandy Boyfriend did a great job too.)
(She was indeed great.)
The score is...
(25 to 74)
74 to 25.
There was a bit of difference in the number of votes.
Honey Voice won a whopping 74 votes...
and moves on to Round Two.
Please go back to your waiting room. Please give her a big hand.
(Earcandy Boyfriend's identity will be revealed soon.)
Honey Voice moves on to Round Two.
I will let you hear an even sweeter voice on Round Two.
Thank you. Let's go!
He's got a charming voice...
and interesting specialties. He's shown different charms of his.
We will reveal his identity...
with a solo performance.
Please give him a big hand!
(His identity will be revealed through his solo performance.)
(He sounds like the main vocalist of an idol group.)
(He's an idol singer or an artist who is in his early or mid-20s?)
("How to Avoid the Sun" by RAIN)
His song goes well with this song.
(He has chosen the song that makes his charming vocal color stand out.)
(No matter how hard I run)
(She has fallen in love.)
(I hate it so much)
(His desperate love fills the whole studio.)
(I wonder who he is.)
Now,
Earcandy Boyfriend, please take off your mask...
and reveal your face!
(Who is he?)
(Screaming)
I'm so curious.
He must be a young idol singer.
And reveal your face!
He is...
the main vocalist of a boy group...
that debuted five years ago, SNUPER. He's Sang Il!
(He is an idol singer!)
(Oh, it is SNUPER.)
(With the mask off, he sings even more powerfully.)
(I love this.)
(He smoothly hits the high notes.)
(He's so cool.)
(Not only can he sing, but he can also rap perfectly.)
(She has fallen in love with him.)
(I want to live a proper life)
(Showing different charms, Sang Il performed "How to Avoid the Sun".)
That was a proper performance.
(Touched)
Excellent.
He did a great job.
Please say hello to our viewers.
Hello. Hello.
Nice to meet you.
(He politely bows to every direction.)
Thank you.
(SNUPER is an international boy group that debuted in 2015.)
(Sang Il is the lovely main vocalist of the group.)
(The whole world is crazy about SNUPER cover dance.)
(This new type of K-pop group gained international attention first.)
("SNUPER Dominates Oricon Chart", "SNUPER on a Vietnamese TV Show")
(Sang Il is a charming man who grows globally.)
I heard this performance...
meant a lot to you, Sang Il.
I'm a member of SNUPER,
and our group is much loved internationally,
but as we didn't perform much in Korea,
we're not that well-known here.
- I guess he's right. - So...
my members and I were...
desperate to perform on this stage.
And I tried my best.
I see. In Korea,
they are not so famous.
I heard you even experienced a slump.
I once went through a slump.
I suffered from low self-esteem and self-confidence.
I spent some time like that.
I've always dreamed of performing in Korea,
but it didn't bring about good results.
So I wasn't confident.
He's a great singer though.
As I expected,
he is an experienced singer.
He just said that things didn't go well in Korea,
but I hope he won't cling to popularity so much.
I could tell...
he has refined stage manners...
and incredible talent.
Please don't worry too much.
With your popularity in foreign countries,
I believe you will be able to achieve your dream even in Korea.
- Keep up the good work. - Thank you.
All right. Keep your chin up.
He's Sang Il with diverse charms...
whom you'd want to keep at home.
I hope we will get to see him more often in Korea.
Please give him a round of applause again.
(We hope to see Sang Il more often in Korea.)
(We look forward to your future endeavors.)
As all the audience paid attention to me,
I wanted to try my best to show...
what I prepared even though I was nervous.
I don't have many opportunities like this.
It happens only once every few years.
It's a little sad though.
(He's choked up and can't speak.)
You seem to be all choked up.
We think you did a very good job.
(It shows how desperate he is to perform on stage.)
I just couldn't ruin the stage.
So I was under a lot of pressure.
(He was so desperate that he's a little disappointed.)
If I have a chance like this next time,
I will make sure to show...
an unforgettable performance.
I guess the members will make fun of me.
Earcandy Boyfriend for Every Household was me,
Sang Il of SNUPER.
Please love and support us.
Honey to My Ears, Honey Voice...
beats Sang Il of SNUPER...
and moves on to Round Two.
The third match of Round One.
This summer's best...
music fantasy action blockbuster.
Will I beat the King of Mask Singer today?
Genie Will Beat the Masked King.
(Genie Will Beat the Masked King)
Genie's three wishes are...
the masked king, the masked king, and the masked king.
(Please let me become the King of Mask Singer.)
(He's the genie of the lamp.)
Please grant my wish.
He seems like a great singer.
I bet he sings really well.
Here comes his opponent.
It's the year 1999. Masked singers in here look amazing tonight.
The one who steals women's heart. Arabian Nightclub Lover,
Aladdin.
(Arabian Nightclub Lover, Aladdin)
Jasmine, will you fly to the throne with me?
(Do you trust me?)
(Yes, I do.)
Aladin is the talk of the town.
He looks charismatic.
They all look so talented.
(Genie and Aladdin fight against villains.)
(They are having an inevitable match now.)
(There will be only one protagonist in the next round.)
(Genie of the lamp who grants people's wishes?)
(Aladdin who steals the panelists' hearts?)
("Should I Say I Love You Again?" by Kim Dong Ryul)
(Amazed)
(He whispers with his sweet voice.)
(His song sounds somewhat forlorn.)
(Surprised)
(His honeyed voice digs down into people's minds.)
(To the woman he hasn't got over,)
(he sings with all his heart.)
(Should I say I love you again?)
(It was a long way around)
(But I've been waiting)
(Should I say I love you again?)
(I know that I'm still not good enough for you)
(But would you accept me?)
His voice sounds familiar.
(They are falling for the song like magic.)
(To the women who were everything in their lives,)
(they sing a heartrending song together.)
(The sweet confession of love, "Should I Say I Love You Again?"...)
(by the two men)
(I want to fall in love again.)
It is so heart-warming.
I think they didn't show even the half of their abilities yet.
The third match of Round One has now come to an end.
Such a confession of feelings will make many people's hearts flutter.
Yoon Sang, the atmosphere is very nice.
It felt like a special performance.
Was it that good?
Especially, I guess Genie would have a song...
that topped music charts.
It was that amazing.
Thanks to him, Aladdin...
I don't think he's a singer,
- He's not a singer? - but his contender...
gave a good influence on him.
Although there was some discrepancy in their level of techniques,
I think it was a great performance.
I'd like to add some more to Yoon Sang's opinion.
In fact, thanks to Genie, I think...
Aladdin showed 120 percent of his own ability,
so he even bowed to him to say thanks.
He bowed slightly.
Meaning, "I've never sung this well before."
I'm sorry to say something disappointing,
but I think the winner is actually decided.
Already?
You're only the second person to say the opinion,
but the winner is already decided?
Aladdin has to rub the lamp...
so that Genie can come out of it.
But I think Aladdin has to go into the lamp at this rate.
- After Genie comes out? - But...
he will be able to go in there happily.
He won't feel offended?
He's about to go into that.
Let's hear Young Seok's opinion too.
I like the singing fairy, Genie a lot.
Everyone was saying the same thing now.
Please talk about Aladdin too.
- I like Aladdin too. - Aladdin did a good job too.
There are so many people who sing Kim Dong Ryul's songs,
but many of them sound awkward.
But Genie expressed that...
very nicely.
Also, his voice itself is very good,
so when he started his first measure,
it felt like a humidifier is turned on...
in a very dry room.
(Genie's voice with a lot of moisture)
The voice with a lot of moisture,
I've heard that a lot.
I think I should know who he is, but I can't put the puzzle together.
If he sings powerfully with that voice,
enormous energy will come out.
It was good.
If Aladdin were not standing...
with his legs wide apart like that,
I would think he could be an anchor...
because he has such a great voice.
It sounds deep and heavy.
So I thought he could be an anchor,
but I saw his legs...
Because he's standing with his legs wide apart,
- you don't think he's an anchor. - Right.
That's why I changed my opinion.
There is an anchor...
- named Kim Hwan. - Right.
He became a freelancer, but nobody knows he did.
(Nobody knows.)
He has a nice body.
According to what I see from here,
Aladdin has...
a pain relief patch on his wrist.
- A pain relief patch? - Yes.
He applied a pain relief patch on his left wrist.
- On his left wrist? - Does that mean anything?
He may have applied it to cover his tattoo...
or because it really hurt.
Many people start to think Aladdin could be an anchor.
The two men's voices were so romantic.
Will their specialties also be romantic?
First, it's the singing fairy, Genie's turn.
He can clap with his toe.
He doesn't do it by making his toes hit each other,
but he can make a clapping sound with only one toe.
How can it be possible?
I don't understand how it's possible. You saw that, didn't you?
- Yes, I did. - How was it?
It's bizarre.
Is it bizarre? Oh...
(What is that?)
I was so surprised to see that.
You know how to shout "Korea" to cheer on, right?
- Please do that for me. - Okay.
We didn't intend to, but we got to see his bare foot.
Let me put the mic close to it.
Please shout, "Korea", everyone.
Genie, for a specialty with your toes, you should reveal them.
All right. Let's take a close-up...
and appear it on the LED screen in the back.
- Gosh. - His toes are shown clearly.
He must be too shy.
He'll be even shyer if his identity is revealed.
1, 2, 3, 4.
- Korea. - Korea.
(Popping sound)
Does the sound come from his bones?
- Yes, it does. - Did you hear that?
- It comes from his bones. - You heard that?
You heard that, right?
That's a sound from his bones.
(How can such a sound come from bones?)
- From his bones. - It's coming from his bones.
This time, he'll do something more difficult.
He'll try to clap rhythmically.
It'll hurt.
Get set. Go.
(Shocked)
(The person who's doing it is rather calm.)
(The specialty using toes is so scary.)
Put on your sock right away.
Put it on quickly.
He's putting on his sock.
- He... - I was wondering...
where I heard such a sound.
When you get a foot massage, they apply oil...
and pull my toes making such a sound.
It's very similar to that sound.
Is that so?
Aladdin...
will do voice imitations of some of the celebrity panelists.
First, he'll imitate Hyun Chul.
(Imitating Hyun Chul's singing)
(A sweet and charming voice)
(What will "Lifetime" by Aladdin be like?)
Please let us hear it.
(I tell jokes)
(Alone)
(And I laugh alone)
He sounds exactly like you.
(Imitating Hyun Chul's singing with a very sweet voice)
- He's good. - He's good.
- Good. - Good job.
I can find the similarity.
- Slightly murmuring at the end. - I think...
- Murmuring at the end. - he studied about Hyun Chul a lot.
- I like it. - Really?
This time, he'll copy Young Seok's singing.
- Me? - Young Seok.
It'll be hard to do it.
(He's like a poet in the pop industry.)
(How will he express Yeong Seok's singing style?)
Please start.
(To the winter sea)
(With you)
(His pose is exactly the same as Young Seok's.)
(Mimicking his singing with a girl's sentiments)
The pronunciation of the last part is exactly the same.
There are some points that sound just like you.
I should have shot "Aladdin".
He's innocent just like me.
I don't think many people agree with him.
All right. Now, it's Genie's specialty.
He's going to show a girl group's dance.
GFRIEND members, look carefully, please.
Right, he needs to stretch a little bit...
because the moves can be too powerful.
It's a girl group's dance. Music, please.
(The song with a cheerful melody)
(Will Genie dance to "Roller Coaster" by Chung Ha?)
(Getting their hopes up)
(Again and again)
(This dazzling feeling)
You should look carefully.
(Sexy Genie's dazzling temptation)
Please find out if it's the result of practice...
or it's the dance he did often.
(Rolling in the silk costume)
(The sexy side of me is coming out.)
(Cleaning the floor in a sexy way)
He's cleaning the floor.
(Trying to look pretty)
His dance moves are well disciplined.
(Well-disciplined dance moves?)
(The ending pose has a good feel to it too.)
GFRIEND members,
I think you were slightly amazed.
When a man dances to a girl's dance,
it may look a little awkward.
- You're right. - But considering that,
I think he's very good.
So it was a nice dance.
Well... Yes. I think so.
Then there is a possibility that he is an idol singer, right?
(Hesitating)
Gosh, you said it was a nice dance,
but you don't think he's an idol singer?
Well, I don't think he is.
I think he's a disciplined idol singer.
There was not a move that was redundant at all.
- You think so? - His...
dance moves are very accurate,
and he knows when to relax. He's a real good dancer.
A real good dancer.
Now, I will announce the result...
of the third match of Round One.
Between Genie and Aladdin,
who's the winner of the third match of Round One?
Let's find out the winner of this match now!
(With his sweet voice,)
(Genie made people feel sentimental.)
(With his warm voice,)
(Aladdin sang his true feelings calmly.)
Who is the winner...
of this match that will move on to the next round?
- The winner is... - The winner is...
The winner is...
(I'm curious.)
(Who will ride the magic carpet to Round Two?)
Between the two men, the winner is...
- The winner is... - The winner is...
Who is it?
Genie won.
(Genie's wish has come true.)
(He surely is the singing fairy.)
Aladdin did a good job too.
The score is 78 to 21.
Please give him a round of applause to congratulate him.
Genie Will Beat the Masked King...
moves on to Round Two.
On Round Two, I will make...
more people's hearts flutter.
I can do it!
Let's find out who Aladdin is.
We will reveal his identity with a solo performance.
Please give it up for him.
(His identity will be revealed with a solo performance.)
(Did he show 120 percent of what he can do?)
(Is he an anchor with an assuring voice?)
(What is the mysterious pain relief patch for?)
("As Much as the Love Scattered in the World" by ﻿Lee Seung Hwan)
He's got a nice voice.
(With a warm voice,)
(he sings sincerely.)
His voice sounds so familiar.
(As if he's telling a story,)
(he contains his heart into each word he sings.)
Now, Aladdin, please...
take off your mask...
and reveal your identity.
(Screaming)
(No way!)
(Who is he?)
Now, Aladdin, please take off your mask and reveal your identity.
He is...
MBC's most well-known anchor...
who debuted 13 years ago. He is Hur Il Hoo.
(He is actually an anchor.)
(This is amazing.)
(He couldn't hide his identity as an anchor.)
(In spite of being nervous,)
(he completely concentrates in the song.)
He sings so well.
(It's the side of him that we didn't normally get to see.)
(He shows his new side on the stage.)
(Anchor Il Hoo gifted us warmth through singing...)
("As Much as the Love Scattered in the World".)
(It was the best.)
That was sincere. That was sincere.
That's why his voice was so nice.
Please say hello to our viewers.
Yes. Hello. I am Hur Il Hoo, the anchor of MBC.
(Hur Il Hoo is MBC's most popular sportscaster.)
(With his lively commentary,)
(he makes sports games touching. He is beloved by the nation.)
(He also stars in a variety of shows.)
(Il Hoo is the all-around anchor.)
- I didn't know you sang so well. - Don't say that.
You are really good.
He said this to our production crew.
"Don't you think you came to me too late?"
Is this true?
- I had wrong thoughts for a while. - Right.
I rehearsed with Genie, you know.
It made me realize that I shouldn't have come here.
I resented the production crew.
They are too mean to their colleague.
"They are too mean to their colleague."
I want Genie to become the masked king.
Then I would have lost to the masked king.
(Laughing)
I became Genie's fan.
Bong Sun mentioned the pain relief patch.
She suspected that you are covering up a tattoo.
Why did you get hurt?
He's got no tattoos...
Why did you put it here?
The scriptwriter told me to open my legs widely...
and to tilt my head to one side.
- My goodness. - She put a pain relief patch...
on my arm to pluck out the hair on my arm.
I didn't think much about it.
- They tried to disguise him. - Was that acting?
It was a set-up.
We actually talked about his posture.
We wondered why his head was always tilted...
at an angle of five.
We talked about it.
(Aladdin's head was tilted.)
(And the panelists became confused.)
(I think that's just how he always stands.)
(Isn't his head tilted at an angle of five?)
As he continued to perform,
his head became upright.
When he first came out, he was like this.
But he gradually lifted his head up.
That was his concept.
Yoon Sang, you know Il Hoo, don't you?
Of course, I know him.
I've heard him sing.
- You have? - Yes.
- He sings better than this. - He sings better than this?
He's a very good singer,
but he got intimidated by Genie.
He got to show only 80 percent of what he can do.
- He's actually better. - He sings better than that.
We hope to see you more on variety shows.
MBC is working hard...
to regain people's love.
When you see me on the news,
you should think of me as the person...
who lost to Genie.
I hope you will remember me. I had so much fun.
With his reassuring and lovely voice,
Il Hoo sang for us today. Please give it up...
- for Il Hoo. - Thank you.
(We hope to see you more often from now on.)
I felt more relaxed when I was wearing the mask.
I felt more liberated.
Because I'm an anchor,
I always try...
to appear upright.
But when I put on the mask,
it didn't feel strange even when I stood...
with my legs wide open and slouched.
Whether I'm giving a commentary of a sports game...
or narrating a show,
I hope you will remember me as the guy who was once on this show.
I want to be the anchor who is always around you.
Arabian Nightclub Lover, Aladdin...
was me, Il Hoo.
Genie Will Beat the Masked King...
defeats Hur Il Hoo and moves on to Round Two.
The last match of Round One.
If you want to hear my song, take a number card.
I Am Sorry, Masked Queen.
Cold Buckwheat Noodles from a Reputable Musical Family.
(Cold Buckwheat Noodles from a Reputable Musical Family)
I will cool you down in this hot summer.
(Cold buckwheat noodles are on sale now.)
(We want to order it.)
I feel cool just looking at her.
That's delicious.
Fried squid is best with cold buckwheat noodles.
- Right. - It's the best.
Contending against her is this masked singer.
Once you hear my song, you will become a regular customer.
My Song is Great,
Soybean Noodle Soup.
(My Song is Great, Soybean Noodle Soup)
I am the most popular one on King of Mask Singer.
(Get excited for rich Soybean Noodle Soup.)
(They are drooling.)
Soybean noodle soup is the best in summer.
She will have a voice like soybean noodle soup.
It's the competition between two noodle dishes.
(The two summer delicacies will beat the midsummer heat.)
(Which masked singer will manage to cool us down deeply?)
(Will it be Cold Buckwheat Noodles with sweet broth?)
(Or will it be Soybean Noodle Soup with flavorful white broth?)
("Love Is Like the Rain Outside the Window" by Yang Soo Kyung﻿)
Are you ready?
Let's go!
(Her voice is deep and yet mellow.)
Isn't she the original singer?
(Who is she?)
(She's got the rich and dense voice.)
Who is she?
(The singers with different charms harmonize.)
Who is she?
Gosh.
(Love is like the rain outside the window)
(Their performance drove away the summer heat.)
(Bravo)
I think Soybean Noodle Soup is an actress.
- Oh, really? - It feels that way.
No, I'm sure she's a singer.
The last match...
of Round One has now come to an end.
Young Seok.
Among the masked singers we have today,
they're the ones who have opposite kinds of charm.
Opposite kinds of charm?
It's like one of them is light,
and one of them is darkness.
I always prefer darkness.
It's hard for the light to defeat...
the charisma that darkness has.
I didn't think Cold Buckwheat Noodles was a singer at first,
but listening to her vibrato,
I thought she did have a lot of experience in singing.
I believe she's also done some musicals.
But does that mean...
she's a singer?
What do you mean by that?
What?
- What are you saying? - You're still not sure about that?
I guess you can't be certain at this point.
What was that?
When she was singing,
she sounded like an experienced jazz musician.
But she didn't sound like a singer at times.
- Okay. - Anyway,
she probably walked on another career path.
Well...
- What are you doing? - What do you mean by that?
Stop it.
I can usually give...
my opinion smoothly,
but I really can't tell who she is.
It feels like if I define who she is,
I'll regret it later.
Someone who's hard to define? I see.
Soybean Noodle Soup's voice sounds very similar to Yang Soo Kyung's...
in her best days.
Yang Soo Kyung's voice in her best days?
Yes.
(A soft yet powerful voice)
(Singing vibrato)
(Her voice has similar powerfulness.)
(Singing vibrato)
- It was a great performance. - All right.
What did you think, JK Kim Dong Uk?
Cold Buckwheat Noodles had...
a very powerful aura from the moment...
of her entrance because of her outfit.
When she started singing,
her husky voice hit my ears,
and I was convinced that she was a singer.
(Her voice made him think that she could be his fellow singer.)
But as she continued to sing,
I also thought at the same time...
that she could be an actress.
Because her gestures...
looked so natural,
such as her hand gestures.
- I can't really imitate them. - That's like what Young Seok said.
- That's right. - You thought she was a singer,
but later on, you started to think,
"Is she really?"
You're right.
- I see. - Yes.
You think she could be an actress.
Which do you think she's more likely to be?
Gosh, that's...
a real toughie.
- Wait, was my question... - I don't need to identify her now.
Of course not.
You just need to say the things that will help the others guess.
- Right. - Let me add one thing to this.
I don't think Cold Buckwheat Noodles is someone who'd be...
on "Show! Music Core".
She'd rather have been on "Top 10 Songs".
- Yes. - That's the kind of voice she has.
Frankly, I have someone in mind.
- Who? I want to know. - You do?
- Should I tell you? - Go ahead.
- Her initial is H. - H?
- H. - What's her next initial?
H.
Han Hye Jin?
You're not supposed to say it.
It's not her.
- The one who sang "Brown Memory"? - It's not her.
Yes.
- How about you, Ho Young? - I think she is...
a singer with long years of experience...
because her hand gestures were very impressive.
She moved like this when she was singing.
(Moving his hand softly)
- Like this. - Okay.
But also when the other one was singing.
Could you sing the song, please?
(Even when her opponent was singing)
(Absorbed in the music)
Yes, she did.
Even when she wasn't singing.
(Even when Soybean Noodle Soup was singing)
(Moving her hand)
(She kept her hand still.)
I don't think she was like that though.
- She flicked her hand like this. - Right.
She didn't stop...
moving her hand around.
- You thought it was unusual. - Yes.
- I see. - I think...
she's a cheerful, experienced singer.
Let me bring up a name here.
- You will? - Yes.
She certainly seems to have much experience in this business.
The way Ho Young imitated her was quite funny,
but she barely laughed.
- Yes. - Even though it was funny.
Maybe she didn't find it very funny.
I'm sorry. Anyway,
I think she's an experienced singer,
such as Woo Soon Syl...
or Jeon You Na. Someone like that.
- I think she could be one of them. - You brought up two people.
- "Lost Umbrella". - Let me bring up another name.
Kim Soo Hee.
- No, it's not her. - Kim Soo Hee?
The one who sang "Love"?
She has a very unique voice. It can't be her.
I'm thinking about Chang Eun Sook.
- Chang Eun Sook? - Yes.
Why are you guys chipping in with other names?
- My gosh. - They saw an opening.
- I mean... - Come on, be generous.
They should at least chip in with good names.
She's not one of those people.
- Now... - You don't think she's one of them.
I believe Soybean Noodle Soup is someone who's been on our show.
- You do? - She's tall.
I think she could be Minseo.
- Minseo? - Yes, Minseo.
When she was here a year ago, she unfortunately lost.
I looked it up online,
and she's very active on social media these days.
I think she released a song recently.
So I think she's Minseo since she's tall and all.
Let me chip in with a name.
- Yes? - Stop chipping in already.
Why do you keep doing that?
Mi Joo, the tall idol singer.
- She could be Mi Joo. - Mi Joo?
- Mi Joo of Lovelyz. - Mi Joo of Lovelyz.
All right. You've mentioned a lot of names so far.
Check out their specialties and see if you can narrow down the list.
Let's start with Cold Buckwheat Noodles, a charismatic singer.
She'll dance the cha-cha.
See?
That's a really old dance.
(The music starts.)
(Throwing her hand up)
(It's not any old move.)
She looks very charismatic.
(She controls the rhythm with her entire body.)
Who could she be?
Is she a singer?
An actress?
Or something else?
(Guess who I am.)
Those are not just any old moves.
(An actress who can dance well?)
She's stretching out her arms.
(A natural-born singer?)
(She's got the energy, talent, and groove.)
Gosh, yes. She's very flexible.
(Cha-cha)
That's it.
All right.
(Who could she be?)
She danced the cha-cha for us.
While we're at it, Soybean Noodle Soup.
Can you dance the cha-cha as well?
(Okay)
Really?
Just some similar moves will be good.
Music, please.
(The music starts.)
(Sexy)
(She starts dancing right away.)
Cold Buckwheat Noodles seems surprised.
She seems surprised.
(She's dancing enthusiastically as if it was her own specialty.)
She seems to know how to dance the cha-cha as well.
(A perfect finish)
That's it. All right.
(She's amazing.)
Her dance was impressive too.
- Seong Ju. - Are you surprised?
Seong Ju, you're so mean.
- Why did you ask her to do it? - I know.
It wasn't in the script.
Are you trying to humiliate Cold Buckwheat Noodles?
No, that wasn't my intention.
- That was... - When you dance the cha-cha,
your steps should go 1, 2, cha, cha, cha.
This isn't the cha-cha.
This isn't the cha-cha?
She's talking in her real tone.
- This isn't the cha-cha? - No.
Did she dance like this?
Yes. Soybean Noodle Soup just rolled her hips like this.
- Yes, how about you? - You see,
you should do the proper steps.
- Right. - Cha, cha, cha.
Cha, cha, cha.
- 1, 2, cha, cha, cha. - Cha, cha, cha.
(She's putting more effort into the dance this time.)
- There you go. - This is the cha-cha.
- It's different. - Those are the proper steps.
Yes, only she knows the proper steps.
Soybean Noodle Soup just imitated her.
- All right. - About Cold Buckwheat Noodles,
I guess she's at least in her mid-40s.
She throws a fit...

(Surprised)
(They're most curious ever.)
Please take off your mask and reveal your identity.
She is...
the skilled actress with 46 years of experience...
who used to be the most popular high-teen star in the 70s.
She's Kim Bo Yeon.
(Actress Kim Bo Yeon?)
(This isn't a paused screen.)
(Charismatic)
(Her explosive voice fills the entire studio.)
This is crazy.
(The honest and desperate love story)
("Really Really Like You" by Kim Bo Yeon)
(The emotions linger as they're still in shock.)
(They can't help but admire her.)
- Gosh, it's crazy. - I got goosebumps.
Please say hello to the viewers.
Hello.
He's going to die single.
(The high-teen star who captured people's hearts in the 70s)
(Since her debut in 1974,)
(she pulled off all kinds of roles...)
(regardless of genres with her acting skills.)
(Kim Bo Yeon, the actress who's beautiful more than yesterday)
You must be stunned.
What was it like to perform...
with a mask on?
Let me ask you about it first.
I felt a little at ease with my mask on.
I see.
Not to mention her singing ability,
she showed off her cha-cha dance skills.
(1, 2, cha, cha, cha)
(Her passionate cha-cha dance was impressive.)
Well, the scriptwriter told me...
to do it.
I've got to do everything I'm told,
so I learned how to do it at the last minute.
- I'm sorry. - But you did show...
proper cha-cha steps, right?
Right.
I should've swayed...
- my buttocks much more like this. - There you go.
(She learned thoroughly even though it was the last minute.)
A lot of people must know her as an actress.
She's also the Gold Prize winner of Seoul International Singing Contest.
So we were right.
Right, we were. She's a singer.
(She released her 1st album, "Adolescence", in 1978,)
(the carol album in 1979,)
(her 2nd album, "Thought", and her 3rd album, "I Like You", in 1980,)
(and her 4th album, "Instead of I Loved You", in 1982.)
(Every album she released became a hit.)
(She's the original actress and singer.)
Bong Sun mentioned "Top 10 Songs" earlier.
During her career as a singer,
she placed 1st for 5 consecutive weeks with "Adolescence"...
- She won a golden cup. - on that show.
How many years has it been...
since the last time you performed on stage?
It's the first time...
since the Seoul International Singing Contest in 1983.
It must be very meaningful...
- What an honor. - for you.
Your juniors gave you some comments.
Didn't any comment make you...
- upset or offended? - No.
I thought Gu Ra would notice...
my identity.
Did you have such expectations towards me?
- I mean... - Because he's good at guessing.
you are very good at guessing identities.
I'm the generation when the singing contest took place.
I got some kind of a feeling...
but was confused about what it was.
Now that I know who she is,
I feel bad that I couldn't think of her.
During the times when there were black-and-white TVs,
she used to play the guitar too. And I still remember it.
In a sense, she's the one...
who opened the era of versatile female artists...
who play the guitar and sing at the same time.
But I wonder why she didn't show a lot of those sides...
after that time.
I was young then.
I filmed 1 to 2 MBC dramas...
and 2 to 3 movies.
It was too exhausting to go around and perform...
- along with that busy schedule. - The situations were tough.
The panelists made guesses that she'd be in her mid-40s...
and that she'd be Woo Soon Syl or Jeon You Na.
But the most accurate guess was...
In the beginning, Young Seok said "She seems like a singer,"
- Right. - "but does that mean..."
- He doubted it. - "she's a singer?"
(She seems like a singer, but does that mean she's a singer?)
(Does that mean...)
(she's a singer?)
(What did you say?)
- That was precise. - That was the accurate guess.
Very accurate.
- A singer... - "She seems like an actress,"
- "but is she an actress?" - Right.
- "Is she a singer?" - It was natural you were confused.
When she was active in her singing career,
I was a fan of hers.
- I even have her album. - Oh, really?
I like Hye Eun Yi's songs.
And Bo Yeon did an amazing job...
singing one of her songs.
It made me so happy.
- Thank you. - I mean it.
My heart is pounding even now.
- I see. - I had no idea...
that she'd come out here and perform.
- Thank you, Bo Yeon. - Thank you.
A lot of people were surprised.
With her voice as skilled as her acting ability,
she graced our show today.
- Let's give her a big hand. - Thank you.
- It was nice seeing you. - How impressive of you.
(It was nice meeting you.)
"Really Really Like You"...
was the theme song of a high-teen movie...
that I starred in for the first time in high school.
It was the soundtrack sung by Hye Eun Yi.
The movie as well as the song became a hit.
Performing today, I was reminded of those days.
Time has passed, but the song still remains.
I have changed a lot, but the song hasn't.
I was very happy.
Cold Buckwheat Noodles from a Reputable Musical Family...
was me, Kim Bo Yeon.
It was a pleasure.
Goodbye.
My Song is Great, Soybean Noodle Soup...
defeats Kim Bo Yeon and moves on to Round Two.
(Next week)
(A dance competition on King of Mask Singer!)
(Who is the best dancer?)
(A series of amazing performances...)
(rewrites the history of King of Mask Singer!)
(Oh, my goodness!)
(Nightingale is only a step away from her 4th victory.)
(The masked queen makes a bold move.)
(The voice to take over the throne...)
(will be revealed next week.)
