The mysterious music show, King of Mask Singer.
Previously on King of Mask Singer.
She had a firm voice that instantly swept us...
and a voice that made us feel completely liberated.
She's the new masked queen, I'm on Duty Today, Nightingale.
And today,
contestants full of passion are here.
The world of competition is intense and tough.
(We don't know what to expect...)
(from this match of the century.)
It begins right now.
(MC Kim Seong Ju)
The thrilling performances will tear down the wall of bias.
This is the mysterious music show, King of Mask Singer.
Previously, with a fierce voice of infinite vocal range,
this masked singer seized the throne.
I'm on Duty Today, Nightingale is the 103rd Queen of Mask Singer.
(Hello.)
(Welcome, Masked Queen.)
The 103rd masked queen is going for her second win.
Who will be the last one standing and become Nightingale's rival?
Let's begin the first match of Round One, duet competition.
(The first match begins.)
(King of Mask Singer)
This is the first match of Round One.
(Oh Champs Elysees)
(She's full French elegance.)
Champs Elysees' Chandelier.
(Champs Elysees' Chandelier)
My dazzling performance begins now.
(Bling-bling)
(She's so dazzling.)
I want to go to Paris.
She's so dazzling.
Chandelier is pretty.
Here's her masked contender.
(Passion and romance)
(brush past me like wind)
Made to Order in Jongno, Golden Key.
(Made to Order in Jongno, Golden Key)
I will open the lock of the throne.
(He is commanding.)
(He looks great.)
Go to Jongno for jewelry.
He's already walking like a king.
His mask looks amazing.
(One streak of light on two streets)
(Whose voice will shine more in the panelists' hearts?)
(Will it be the elegant Chandelier's voice?)
(Will it be the voice of Golden Key, the one with classical charms?)
("Truth" by Cool)
(He's restless.)
He looks nervous.
(They start the performance in suspense.)
("Truth" by Cool was a mega-hit song from 2002.)
(They carefully sings in harmony.)
Oh, my.
(His voice makes us doubt our own ears.)
(Golden Key sounds playful.)
(Chandelier has a beautiful vocal color.)
(She's so lovely.)
(The cheerful melody makes people dance.)
(Her sassy voice sounds charming.)
(His cheerful performance makes us smile.)
(Please stay with me)
(Their duet performance was full of freshness and excitement.)
(Thank you for the great performance.)
How adorable.
This is hard.
I have never heard of such a voice.
The first match of Round One has come to an end.
I think their duet performance was humorous and full of surprises.
Young Seok, they made quite a nice duet, didn't they?
No, they didn't.
(No, they didn't.)
They didn't make a nice duet?
It's okay.
He says they didn't.
Their voices don't match well.
I wondered why they made these two sing a duet.
Are their voices too unique?
They sounded all right when I listen to them separately.
But as a duet standing on stage,
I think there was something missing.
I disagree with Young Seok.
I loved their duet.
- You loved it. - Yes.
He loved it. There are mixed opinions.
I'm not saying their performance was bad.
He was good with the rhythm during the performance.
In musicals, people like him...
- are character actors. - Character actors.
People like him make the song sound charming.
How was Chandelier?
As for Chandelier,
I thought she must be an idol.
But as I heard her singing, I changed my mind.
Her vibrato has a deeper and wider in range...
than most idol singers'.
I think she has 10 to 15 years...
- of singing experience. - I see.
And as for Golden Key...
He sounds so similar...
to Jang Doo Seok from "The Knee-Drop Guru".
- Isn't he a fan guru? - He's a fan guru.
- "The Knee-Drop Guru" is... - Guru...
Kang Ho Dong.
Anyway, I think he might be Jang Doo Seok.
And his gestures were so similar to that of Jang Doo Seok.
(He's got the guru vibe.)
(The cheerful people are reminded of the memories.)
(They dance like the fan guru.)
I decided to mention...
one real name a day.
- I think Golden Key... - Golden Key.
I think he's an actor. There's an actor...
- named Jo Jae Yun. - Jo Jae Yun?
Yes. He starred in "Sky Castle".
(Booing)
I know this would be criticized by many people,
but I'd like to just go for it.
I don't care if you throw stones at me.
If I was wrong, I just need to take on the stones, right?
So he thinks he's an actor.
- P.O. - Hello.
This is your first time appearing on our show, right?
Yes, I've been only watching it at home.
This is my first time being a panelist here.
It's really nice to be sitting here and listening to music.
I'm enjoying it.
I feel like I'm at a concert too.
It's nice that you're enjoying it, but you need to make guesses.
Do you have anything useful to say?
(Well...)
- Not yet. - Not yet.
- You're not sure yet. - No.
U-KWON, you have been on our show.
I'm pretty sure Golden Key is...
not a professional singer.
And as for Chandelier,
her voice sounds very familiar to me.
When she hits high notes, her voice gets husky.
I know someone who has such a voice,
and she recently got pregnant with her third baby.
- Who is that? - Third baby?
- Did she give birth? - I'm not sure.
- I can't tell from her body... - You're right.
because she's covering her belly.
I think she might be Star.
- Star. - Star.
See? You might get stones thrown at you,
but you should just go for it.
- So this is what you meant. - Just go for it.
- Good. - She's not Star.
Okay.
I think Golden Key...
gave a charming performance.
But his pronunciation was...
I wanted to love you
He was singing like this.
(He was stressing "S".)
He did sound like the best singer in the neighborhood.
He's a big fan of Cool.
He has the vibe of both Kim Sung Su and Lee Jae Hoon.
Maybe he's Kim Sung Su.
Kim Sung Su.
Right. No, I don't think so.
(Laughing)
He's Kim Sung Su himself?
Why not?
Kai, what do you think of Chandelier?
I think Chandelier has...
a very melodious voice.
When I first heard her voice,
I thought she might be specialized in traditional Korean songs.
I felt the same.
- I'd like to stop you here. - Okay.
You guys are leaning toward the idea that she's a trot singer.
As trot singers...
practice singing trot songs often,
when you hear them singing,
you can hear their unique accents.
But I think she had a simple and ordinary accent.
As one said, her voice turns husky when she hits high notes...
and it reminded me of Shin Ji's voice.
I think it's not a bad idea...
to take a look into solo female pop singers.
Does that mean you want Bong Sun to look it up on the internet?
Really? Then I'll look it up.
I'll look it up.
I'm the one in charge of internet searching here.
So he wants Bong Sun to look it up.
Now, they're going to show you their specialties...
that will help you guess.
First, we'll start with Golden Key.
Let's see what is his specialty.
He's going to show you his real voice.
He's going to do an impression.
There's a scene in the movie, "The Man from Nowhere"...
where Won Bin and Kim Hee Won...
confront each other.
(Inside and outside of a car,)
(Won Bin and Kim Hee Won are at a standoff.)
(This is bulletproof glass.)
He's going to say the lines...
but in Yoo Hai Jin's voice.
(It sounds amazing already.)
Imagine how Yoo Hai Jin would have pulled off the line.
Please let us hear it, Golden Key.
"Just shoot me already."
"It's okay. This is bulletproof glass."
(He imitates a gun sound.)
"You didn't have to shoot that hard."
Gosh, he's good.
(That was amazing.)
He's good, right?
Now he's going to say the lines in Oh Kwang Rok's voice.
This is how Oh Kwang Rok would have said the line.
Please let us hear it.
(Panting)
(Sighing)
"Hey, you punk."
"Shoot me."
"This is bulletproof glass."
(That's impressive.)
(Let me break the glass.)
"It hurts."
(Who could he be?)
Who's the comedian who talked about good fighters?
Good fighters?
Good fighters among celebrities.
(The comedian who talked about good fighters among celebrities?)
I think I got it.
(Do they know who he is?)
Lastly, he'll imitate one more person.
It's Son Byong Ho.
This is how Son Byong Ho would have said the lines.
"Hey, you."
"You didn't know that this glass was bulletproof?"
"Shoot me if you can. Go ahead."
(Firing saliva)
"Goodness. Hello? Is this the police?"
"If you can come here right now,"
"fold your finger."
He's good.
He's good at this.
(Golden Key is amazing.)
You're great at voice imitations.
I think he's been an actor for a long time.
- I'm certain that he's Jo Jae Yun. - No, wait.
- Jo Jae Yun. - He does seem to be a good actor,
but he also seems like a great comedian.
- Comedian? - We also thought of...
a comedian after watching his specialty,
but we couldn't think of his name.
I looked it up.
We think he might be Ahn Il Kwon.
- Ahn Il Kwon? - Ahn Il Kwon?
Ahn Il Kwon, the comedian?
- That's possible. - Ahn Il Kwon?
- He could be. - Right?
- It's possible. - It's his voice.
His shape is similar to Il Kwon's as well.
If he's Il Kwon, I'd be a little disappointed.
If he's Il Kwon?
- Yes. - If he is, you'd be disappointed?
Our expectations are too high now.
Il Kwon is one of the best comedians when it comes to voice imitations.
But Golden Key is better at acting than him.
- You know comedians well. - That's right.
Let's keep this up, shall we?
Golden Key will mimic some animals this time.
He will mimic some animals' actions.
Let's go on a safari.
(A safari with Golden Key)
All right. We're on a safari, and we just spotted a horse.
The horse is taking a walk.
It's a horse.
(Should I take a walk?)
(Running)
(He's like a real horse.)
(Acting giddy)
(Guys, wait for me.)
- All right. - I think he really is Il Kwon.
Il Kwon is good at things like that.
At that moment, a lion shows up.
(A lion shows up.)
A lion shows up.
(A lion?)
He's scared.
(At a time like this...)
He's running away!
(Running away)
He's running away!
(I'm so scared.)
(He's hilarious.)
It's him!
I think you guys are right.
Yes, I think he's Il Kwon.
- All right. - He seems like Il Kwon.
Okay, you're convinced that he's Il Kwon.
You're now almost sure that he's Il Kwon.
Most of you seem to think it's him.
All right. The animal that showed up this time is...
a kangaroo, the most muscular animal.
The kangaroo is warming up while showing off his biceps.
1, 2, 1, 2.
(Check out my bulging muscles.)
It's a kangaroo.
Kangaroo, the most muscular animal.
However, the lion from earlier comes back.
The kangaroo doesn't run. He jumps at the lion.
(It'll be different this time.)
He's jumping at the lion.
He's boldly jumping at the lion.
What will happen?
(No, I'm just sleepy.)
He's knocked out.
This is how it works in the animal kingdom.
It was such a sad story.
He's really good at this.
You all seem to think he's Ahn Il Kwon.
Everyone is convinced that he's Il Kwon right now.
I don't think he's Il Kwon.
- I'm confused. - Let's move on.
If he was Il Kwon, Seong Ju wouldn't have said that.
Seong Ju is emphasizing on it too much, and it's confusing me.
I don't think he's Il Kwon.
(The panelists are now even more confused.)
(Who is Golden Key?)
This time, let's see Chandelier's specialty.
She prepared some cute talk.
She says she can act really cutely.
All right. Chandelier's cute talk. Let us hear it.
Gu Ra, I had a dream.
I had a dream where I became the new masked queen.
That's it. All right.
(I'm sorry.)
Her voice sounds familiar too, doesn't it?
Her voice sounds familiar too.
Now, it's level two.
It's her cute talk, level two. Let us hear it.
Gu Ra, I'm hungry.
Buy me some barbecued meat. Barbecued meat!
(I can't take this anymore.)
(The kangaroo's patience snaps.)
Let's go, Il Kwon.
(Let's go, Il Kwon.)
Good one, Il Kwon.
This is what makes him look like a comedian, right?
Am I right?
- That's right. - This is the one.
- Yes, it is. - He has a good sense of humor.
Gosh, that was good.
Good one.
All right. I will now announce...
the result of the first match of Round One.
We have a very surprising result.
Who is the winner of this match?
Between Chandelier and Golden Key,
who is the winner? Let's find out now!
(Chandelier has a refreshing and mature voice.)
(Pleasant and delightful)
(Golden Key has a nice, cheerful voice.)
Who will win this match...
and become the first one to move on to the next round?
The winner is...
- The winner is... - The winner is...
The winner is...
(Who will win this match and shine brightly?)
(Who is it going to be?)
The one who will advance to the next round is...
The winner is...
Who is it?
(Chandelier wins.)
All right!
(Oh, Champs Elysees)
(It's no surprise.)
(Golden Key did a good job too.)
I thought Golden Key might be the winner...
just for a second there.
She defeated Golden Key...
and won this match.
The score is 76 to 24.
With a score of 76 to 24,
Chandelier won this match.
Chandelier, please go back to your waiting room.
Let's give her a big hand.
She's the first one to move on to Round Two.
(Golden Key's identity will be revealed.)
I will shine brightly in Round Two as well.
Unfortunately, Golden Key failed to advance to Round Two.
Let's find out who he is now.
Who could he be?
We'll reveal his identity with a solo performance he prepared.
Please give him a big round of applause.
(His identity will be revealed now.)
(Is he Jang Doo Seok?)
(Is he Jo Jae Yun?)
(Is he Ahn Il Kwon?)
("Between Hidden Time" by Yoon Sang)
Yoon Sang, isn't this your song?
It is.
(This song is totally different from what he sang in Round One.)
- See? - Is he really Il Kwon?
- He sounds like Kim Sung Su too. - No, I think he's Ahn Il Kwon.
I think he's Il Kwon.
(He sings this great song in front of the original singer.)
He does sound like Il Kwon.
(No way.)
(The faint memories of the old days where he was young and innocent)
Now,
Golden Key, please take off your mask...
and reveal your face.
(Screaming)
He is...
Is he really Il Kwon?
- Is he Il Kwon? Who is he? - He is...
Reveal your face.
He is...
the comedian who's having his best days again as a content creator,
Ahn Il Kwon!
(Comedian Ahn Il Kwon)
(It really was Ahn Il Kwon!)
It's Ahn Il Kwon!
(What?)
Seriously?
(We were right.)
It was him.
(It really was Ahn Il Kwon.)
(Surprised)
(He focuses on the song seriously.)
(He performs in a serious manner unlike how he usually is.)
(He gives it his all with his eyes closed.)
(The heartfelt performance, "Between Hidden Time" by Ahn Il Kwon)
(Yoon Sang, forever.)
Il Kwon!
He's the best fighter among all comedians.
P.O, you're awesome.
(Proud)
Please say hello to the viewers.
It's so nice to see you...
here on King of Mask Singer. Thank you.
(I'm good at fighting.)
(He's Ahn Il Kwon, the comedian...)
(who is the best in skits with 14 years of experience.)
(He's also the master of impersonating voices.)
(He has recently become a content creator.)
(He provokes celebrity fighters like Kim Jong Kook and Kim Chang Ryeol)
(He calls himself the top fighter in the entertainment industry.)
(The comedian with pleasant charms, Ahn Il Kwon)
U-KWON, goodness.
I was surprised.
Along with the change in producers,
the robot named Kim Seong Ju has changed too.
(The robot has been upgraded.)
I've realized it.
Seong Ju is so good at hosting.
You were very serious when you performed.
I performed with my heart.
I'm a huge fan of Yoon Sang.
- Oh, really? - Yes, I mean it.
- I see. - When I was a teenager,
I collected his LP records when others bought cassette tapes.
I memorized all the songs in his 1st and 2nd albums.
(Il Kwon was a big fan of Yoon Sang.)
He's not only a singer but also a composer.
And I admire him so much.
- I see. - I mean it.
Write him a song.
I can't explain this feeling with words.
It's such an honor.
- Seriously. - I'm grateful that he chose...
to perform a song of mine. It was very unexpected.
He's the genius of impersonating behaviors,
and it's very memorable for me...
that he chose my song for his performance today.
You were very good at singing, so they didn't predict it'd be you.
Here's the thing about Il Kwon.
When the two of us were still rookies,
we worked together on "Bongsunga School."
But I had no idea he was this good at singing.
I guess I didn't know much about him even though we were close by.
Even when P.O asked me whether he was Il Kwon,
I answered it was plausible...
because I really thought he'd be Jo Jae Yun.
He's not just good at singing,
but also these days, he's very active as a content creator,
calling himself the pro fighter.
I've watched all the videos on his channel.
It's fun.
You provoked the UFC fighter, Kim Dong Hyun, not long ago.
Hey, Dong Hyun.
(Bring it on, Dong Hyun.)
- Dong Hyun. - He's good at fighting...
under certain rules.
And I'm a street fighter.
Who just laughed?
(Laughing)
(Gasping)
(Throw your kangaroo punches.)
I hear you have a favor to ask of Gu Ra.
Oh, really? What is it?
I'd like to capture the moment I grab you by your chin.
The thumbnail of it might attract more than a million views.
All right, no problem. Come to my waiting room later.
- Thank you. - I'll let you do it.
- Goodness. - What's the big deal about it?
I'm totally okay with it.
Jong Kook and Chang Ryeol came on my channel before,
and they're considered very generous...
for helping out their junior.
- Come visit me at any time. - That's good.
Can I grab you by the chin for no reason?
- Since you're generous. - Shouldn't you have a cause?
(You have no cause to grab me by my chin.)
He performed passionately...
and sincerely that was stronger than his fists.
He's the self-proclaimed pro fighter, Ahn Il Kwon.
Please give him a round of applause.
(Go for it, Il Kwon.)
Gu Ra is here with me to help out his junior.
- No problem. - Stay still.
Stay still, all right?
- He's usually... - Hey, that's enough.
Give me a break already!
Turn the camera off.
(Il Kwon has grabbed Gu Ra's chin.)
I forgot about it because I was busy running an online channel.
To be applauded on stage...
is more than worth it.
It's very addicting too.
But in a very long time,
I got to stand back on stage.
It felt like I came back to my hometown.
It was like a dream.
That moment made me so happy.
Made to Order in Jongno, Golden Key...
was me, Ahn Il Kwon.
Please don't forget about me.
Thank you, guys.
(Please keep remembering me.)
As a result of Round One,
Champs Elysees' Chandelier won against Ahn Il Kwon...
and advanced to Round Two.
It's the second match of Round One.
"I want to become a masked king."
Until Black Hair Turns Paprika,
Paprika.
(Until Black Hair Turns Paprika, Paprika)
I'll let you hear my crunchy and fresh singing voice.
(Paprika is here.)
(I want one too.)
Is he Paprika?
He's cute.
He might be someone young.
Against him is...
"Sow a vote."
Sow Some Peas, Pea.
(Sow Some Peas, Pea)
I'm going to sow some peas on the throne!
(Grow, peas.)
(Shoot up.)
He's full of energy.
Perhaps, it's a match between two actors.
Pea might be amazing at singing.
(Paprika and Pea are delicious and good for your health.)
(Which vegetable will be in charge of the audience's health?)
(Will it be the crunchy and sweet Paprika?)
(Or will it be the savory Pea?)
(King of Mask Singer)
("To Be Alone" by Byun Jin Sub)
How solemn.
This song is from the old times.
There's going to be something.
(What?)
(Paprika's low-tone voice captures the audience's ears.)
(Oh, gosh.)
(His solemn voice resonates deeply.)
(Who is he?)
(Pea's voice is soft but strong.)
(He calmly sings...)
(the moment of a sorrowful breakup.)
(The unescapable longing after a breakup)
This is incredible.
(House Band)
(He sings heart-achingly,)
(and it reminds the audience of their past memories.)
(The sorrowful cry...)
(about a man who's left alone and his longing heart)
(It makes...)
(me sad.)
(The deep sorrow of a man who lost his love,)
("To Be Alone" by Paprika and Pea)
(They become emotional.)
They are cool. They are cool.
(That was incredible.)
The second match of Round One came to an end.
Let's hear from Sang, the lonely man.
Both of them had...
good vocalization and a sense of rhythm.
Although they sang very well, I don't think they are singers.
I think they are musical actors...
with many stage experiences.
I think two musical actors were invited at the same time.
You think they are from the same area of profession.
As soon as I heard...
the first line by Paprika...
- I watched "Ben-Hur", the musical. - "Ben-Hur".
I think he was a musical actor in it.
A musical actor who was in it?
The higher the note was,
the wider his legs came apart.
(When he hit high notes,)
(his legs came apart.)
Did his legs come apart?
As for Pea,
he shook his head when he used vibration.
- Did he shake his head? - Yes.
(I am not afraid of a breakup)
(Shaking his head)
Amateur singers move their bodies...
to get help.
Judging from that,
- I think Pea is an actor. - Gosh, that was a sharp deduction.
- Listen. - What is it?
As soon as Paprika...
began to sing,
the two men by my sides...
sat up.
They changed their postures like this.
(The musical actors changed their postures.)
- Did they do that? - They suddenly did that.
(As soon as they heard the first line...)
(My goodness.)
(I need to sit up.)
(My goodness.)
(The musical actors reacted in 0.1 seconds.)
At the same time?
Yes. I asked them, "Do you know who he is?"
They said, "Don't ask."
"Don't ask." They only said that.
- "Don't ask. Don't ask." - That's right.
- He put his hands together. - He looks polite.
Yes. It made me realize,
"Oh, he must be the history of the musicals."
- Both of them reacted that way. - Yes.
Paprika made me realize...
that good vocalization...
makes an exceptional singer.
He has good vocalization.
I am certain that he is an actor.
I think he is someone who acts as if he is singing...
and sings as if he is acting.
He is a strong contestant...
whose solo performance will move us greatly.
- He is a strong contestant. - Yes.
How about Pea?
I think he is on the older side.
If he is on the older side, what would be his age?
I think Paprika was born in the early 60s.
He was born in 1962 or 1963.
That's right.
I think Pea was born in 1960.
- He is 1 or 2 years older. - Yes.
That means Pea will have his 60th birthday soon...
Paprika will be in his mid-50s.
Now, they will show their specialties.
Before they show their specialties,
they should warm up if they are on the older side.
They should warm up their ankles.
- They are on the older side. - Please warm up first.
I think Paprika might be able to do the splits.
Can he split his legs?
By gathering information,
I figured out his identity.
Really?
He can split his legs.
There you go. Stretch your legs.
By gathering information,
- you learned he is in his mid-50s. - That's right.
Can Pea split his legs?
- He should stretch his legs, too. - He might split his legs.
The thing is,
before Pea began to sing,
I thought he stuffed cotton to make his belly look bigger.
Now I see it's all him.
- It's not cotton? - He didn't stuff cotton.
- Is it his belly? - It's his.
All right.
Paprika's specialty is...
freestyle dance.
(Paprika's freestyle dance)
He is taking off his gloves.
I would like to tell you that he might be younger than you think.
Music, please.
(Music starts.)
Let's see his freestyle dance.
(Surprised)
(His body roll is like a fresh paprika.)
(Sliding)
All right.
(He is good.)
He is very flexible.
(He shows a mime performance and moves quickly.)
(Where is paprika?)
(Rolling)
His body rolls are impressive.
He made a V-sign.
He is moving his arms, too.
(He shows the impressive arm wave.)
He is doing the cartwheel.
(He finishes up with the cartwheel.)
The cartwheel.
That's the end.
(Paprika is cool.)
- That was incredible. - He gave away his age.
When he did the cartwheel,
I saw that he was wearing an undershirt in this weather.
So...
Did you see that? Are you sure?
- Yes, it was gray. - Was it an undershirt?
It was charcoal-colored.
That's right. I saw it.
This whole time, Pea has been continually warming up.
- Pea. - He must be nervous.
We will play this music again.
You never said it's your specialty,
but show us a freestyle dance.
Pea's freestyle dance.
Music, please.
What kind of dance will he show us?
There you go.
Right now,
people think he is close to having his 60th birthday.
(Dancing)
(My goodness.)
I think he is young.
His steps are impressive.
(Michael Jackson would cry at his steps.)
(Body roll)
(It looks like he practiced dancing.)
His dance is unpredictable.
Let's end it here.
(He finished the performance shyly.)
He seems to be a dancer.
His dance skills were unexpected.
I think he put something in his belly.
- Did you change your mind? - I have a feeling...
- Did he put something in his belly? - No...
I think he's Sung Dai Hyun.
- No way. - Listen.
He reminds me of Sung Dai Hyun.
He reminds you of Sung Dai Hyun.
You can stop warming up.
We will see another specialty.
Pea is...
the owner of the crazy pelvis.
He challenged three panelists for a dance battle.
Would you accept the challenge?
Please come on out.
(We are excited.)
Are you confident in shaking your body?
I am not confident, but I will do my best.
That's what matters.
You look confident.
I am experienced in popping, so I am very confident.
Pea should be nervous.
Hyo Seong, you are good...
- at shaking your body. - She did that a lot...
- for "Madonna". - What do you think?
I became popular by shaking my body, so I will do it properly this time.
All right.
You challenged the wrong people.
Who will be the best at shaking their bodies?
Music, please.
(Shake your body to set off the pedometer.)
(From the beginning,)
(they shake their bodies fiercely.)
All right. Hyo Seong is good.
- She is on another level. - She is good.
Pea. Pea.
P.O, go a bit faster.
Look at U-KWON. U-KWON is fast.
- U-KWON, U-KWON. - My goodness.
Hyo Seong and U-KWON.
Pea, try a bit harder.
Pea. You have 10 seconds left.
10 seconds. You have 10 seconds left.
- Run if you have no choice. - 10 seconds.
A bit more.
5, 4,
3, 2, 1.
Stop. You can stop.
Stop right there.
Stop where you are.
I am out of breath from watching them.
Let's start with P.O.
P.O's pedometer reads...
122.
- 122. - 122. Good job.
Let's check U-KWON's pedometer. I am expectant.
- I guess I didn't shake it much. - What do you mean?
U-KWON's pedometer reads...
What?
90.
How strange! P.O's number is higher.
- How did this happen? - He shook his body the wrong way.
- Why is the number so low? - You shouldn't shake horizontally,
but vertically.
P.O shoot his body the right away.
P.O's number is 122 and U-KWON's number is 90.
Hyo Seong. Hyo Seong.
Hyo Seong.
Hyo Seong's pedometer reads 106.
It's strange. It's strange.
- I thought you weren't confident. - I think the result is wrong.
I think there is a trick to setting off the pedometer.
Judging from the moves Pea showed, his number must be over 200.
- Really? - There is a trick.
- There is a trick. - Yes.
Let's see Pea's result.
Pea's result is...
Pea. Pea.
Pea.
120.
(My goodness.)
The difference is two counts.
P.O takes first place.
- Pea is sad. - The difference is two counts.
P.O won.
With a difference of two counts, P.O won.
You stole his specialty.
I am sorry.
I thought you weren't confident.
I think I tried too hard because I was nervous.
I am sorry.
The king of shaking his body is P.O. Give him a round of applause.
(The king of shaking his body, P.O)
Please go back to your seats.
Now, I will announce the result of the second match of Round One.
Who will be the winner?
Now, I will announce the second winner of Round One.
(Heavy vocalization and a good command of breathing)
(Paprika with surprising skills)
(A voice of great volume and composure)
(Pea with a charm nonchalant air)
Between Paprika and Pea,
who will win this match and move on to the next round?
The winner is...
- The winner is... - The winner is...
The winner is...
(Tell us.)
(Which one of the vegetables will the panelists pick today?)
(The winner is...)
The winner chosen by the panelists is...
The winner is...
Who's the winner?
Who is the winner?
Paprika wins.
(They are recharged with vitamins.)
(Paprika is the best.)
(Pea did a good job too.)
Paprika wins.
With a score of 63 to 36,
he moves on to Round Two.
Please go back to your waiting room. Please give him a big hand.
(The shocking identity of Pea will be revealed soon.)
Paprika has moved on to Round Two.
Queen of Mask Singer, do you want some Paprika?
Let's find out who he is.
We will reveal his identity with a solo performance...
prepared for Round Two.
Please give him a big hand.
(Pea's identity will be revealed with his solo performance.)
(Is he Sung Dai Hyun who sings shaking his head?)
(He's about to turn 60?)
Is it "Bongsuk"?
("Bongsuk" by Rose Motel)
(Pea chose a jazzy song for his listless voice.)
He sings well.
(His voice is powerful but light.)
(The sensual song...)
(sounds subtle with Pea's voice.)
Is it Kim Sung Su?
It might be Sung Su. Is it Kim Sung Su?
Now, Pea, please take off your mask...
and reveal your face.
(This is crazy.)
He is...
(Is that him?)
(Really?)
(Is he Kim Sung Su?)
Reveal your face.
He is...
the main rapper of the popular mixed group Cool,
Kim Sung Su.
(He got it right.)
You got it right.
(It's true.)
You are amazing.
Did you get it?
(Did P.O get it right?)
(Pea's identity is jaw-dropping.)
(This is shocking.)
(Singing)
(Giving an exclamation)
(He shows off his cheerful charm, free from all anxiety.)
(Exciting)
(Looking for love)
(Looking for people)
(Today, I'm still...)
(wandering around.)
Thank you.
(Kim Sung Su's "Bongsuk" showed a new side of him.)
(That was amazing.)
What do we do?
Bravo!
Please say hello to our viewers.
Nice to meet you.
(Letting out a sigh)
(Kim Sung Su of Cool, the popular group that represents summer)
(Whenever they release a new album, it becomes a huge hit.)
(They were the best group in the 1990s.)
(Their addictive songs are loved by people through time.)
(He also shows his talents in many variety shows.)
(He is showing great chemistry with his daughter these days.)
(He's an all-round entertainer, Kim Sung Su of Cool.)
Someone mentioned Sung Su's name while he was singing.
It was P.O.
He's Buzzer Beater.
- Buzzer Beater. At the last moment. - He's amazing.
I was wondering who he was.
And I suddenly thought of this name.
It just flashed across my mind.
You guys talked about Sung Su when Golden Key was here.
Sung Su was going to come out in the next round,
so I thought you guys would recognize him immediately.
But you had no idea.
They said you're about to turn 60. You're not that old.
I could die any day though.
(He's funny.)
People think I'm just an entertainer.
Whatever I do, they laugh.
But when I was wearing the mask,
- I could be serious. - You were serious.
I wanted to show people that I can sing.
I've never imagined that I could perform...
solo on stage before.
- But you did today. - Right.
And it was good.
Gosh, it felt like it was like my debut.
(You did a good job.)
You're showing good chemistry...
with your daughter in a variety show.
Does your daughter know that you're singing here today?
I just told her...
I'd sing in a mask soon.
She was very excited to hear that.
When I sang "Before Sadness Comes" in "Infinite Challenge", she saw it.
But this is her first time to see me sing solo.
I see.
Now she can tell her friends that her dad is a singer.
You said you're very jealous of Gu Ra these days.
Well...
Dong Hyun turned out so well.
I'm envious that he raised his son so well.
What about Hye Bin for Dong Hyun's girlfriend?
- Wait. - Well...
You should ask Hye Bin first.
He loves his daughter so much.
- Can I leave a message to her? - Will you do that?
Hye Bin, you haven't started puberty yet.
Just tell me if there's anything that's bothering you.
Hye Bin, I love you.
All right.
(Hye Bin must be so happy.)
Today, without making any jokes,
Sung Su performed seriously on stage today.
Please give him a round of applause again.
(We look forward to your future endeavors.)
Until Black Hair Turns Paprika, Paprika beat...
Kim Sung Su of Cool and moved on to Round Two.
The third match of Round One.
I'll let you hear a voice on a different level.
Masked Singer of First-Class Water, Aquarium.
(Masked Singer of First-Class Water, Aquarium)
Fall for my charms.
(He starts to take care of the water as he enters.)
(Please let us hear your clean and pure voice.)
He's cleaning.
He's cleaning the aquarium.
That's a fancy way to enter.
Maybe he's an idol singer.
I have a feeling he'll do well.
And here is his contender.
Everyone, I'm a good singer, aren't I?
I Deserve to Be After the Throne, Right?
Zoo.
(I Deserve to Be After the Throne, Right? Zoo)
Please look forward to a performance with a lot to enjoy.
(She's going to train the audience with her cute side.)
(Getting their hopes up)
"Right? Zoo".
Are they both idol singers by any chance?
(The places of childhood memories make people excited.)
(Where will people want to go on a music trip to?)
(To the aquarium with great quality water?)
(Or to the zoo with a lot of animals cheering?)
(King of Mask Singer)
- What's that? - What is it?
(Oh... What is that?)
I've never seen that on the screen before.
- "Early Morning Discount"? - Is it "Early Morning Discount"?
("Early Morning Discount" by Lee Moon Sae)
(The film of memories start to roll with "Early Morning Discount".)
Who is it?
(A pure and cheerful voice)
(Moving his hand a lot)
(He's doing this.)
Oh, it's great.
(Oh, my.)
That's me. I'm on the screen.
(Their memories are evoked in front of their eyes.)
(Measure by measure,)
(the two singers share the excitement.)
(Their younger days are revived with the song.)
Oh, she's good.
- "Like us". - "Like us".
(They recall the good memories...)
(with the cheerful rhythm of "Early Morning Discount".)
(Their hearts pound.)
I was immersed in the memories thanks to them.
The movie "King of Mask Singer" was fun.
- Seriously. - Time flies by so fast.
Among the duet song matches of Round One,
the third one is over.
Young Seok, what's your opinion?
It was a song I've waited for...
and because of the added footage...
of King of Mask Singer,
it was wonderful.
(It was wonderful.)
I guess the time they've been singers for...
is shorter than the history of King of Mask Singer.
Then do you think they are in the music industry?
Yes, I think so.
- Carefully... - When our show premiered,
they might not have been singers, right?
Right. They might have been just trainees.
(Exclaiming)
- Both of them? - That's just what I heard.
- I think that may not be true. - I'm not trying to intimidate you.
What I mean is that their voices sounded healthy.
- Their voices are healthy. - Their voices...
He has a nasal voice, but it's refreshing as well.
We compare a refreshing voice...
to soda sometimes.
I think his voice was like soda with a little bit of honey.
- Soda with honey. - Yes, a voice like that.
He has a pleasing, sharp voice,
so those who hear his voice feel...
refreshing and sweet at the same time.
(Thank you.)
And as for Zoo,
she has a voice that feels like a real-life Disney animation.
She is girly and warm.
I personally like that kind of voice.
- Is that so? - Yes.
Shall we hear the younger singers' opinions?
- Hyo Seong? - Yes, when I heard...
his pronunciation at first,
he sounded like a Korean who lived abroad.
- Did he sound like that? - Yes.
(Early Morning Discount)
(Is always)
And while singing, he seemed to keep playing the recorder...
and calling someone.
I could see many gestures that made me think...
that he might have sung rhythm and blues a lot.
So he could be a Korean member of an idol group...
- who lived abroad. - I see.
That's what came to my mind.
And when I heard Zoo first sing, her pronunciation sounded unique,
(As her pronunciation was unique)
(In the secret)
(Miracle)
so I thought she may be a rapper who had kept hidden...
her vocal skills.
Her gestures were like those of a rapper,
so I thought she may be a member who's in charge of rap...
in an idol group.
He's a member of an idol group who lived abroad,
and she's a member of an idol group who's in charge of rap?
- Yes. - You think both of them may be...
- idol singers? - Yes.
I expect that he's a dancer.
- You think he's a dancer? - Yes.
He's now wearing boots and his clothes are not great to dance in,
but you think he's a good dancer.
Bong Sun, don't you think she's also a dancer?
I guess she could be someone who does indie music.
Her voice is...
clear and transparent...
like that of J Rabbit.
Whenever she has no clue, she resorts to indie music.
No.
- She throws something ambiguous. - That's not true.
(Hongdae and indie music...)
(are the emergency exit words of Bong Sun's reasoning.)
Whenever she's stuck, it's either indie music...
- or Hongdae. Let's not do this. - It's because...
Frankly, when I get it right at the last moment,
you say that I gave a shot and barely got it right before it ended.
But you say to P.O,
"Oh, you got an idea all of a sudden."
"You're like a buzzer beater." But you say to me,
- They're the same. - "You threw it before it ended."
That's what a buzzer beater means.
It means scoring right before it ends.
But you expressed it differently.
That's what a buzzer beater actually means.
- Scoring right before it ends. - Gosh, thanks so much!
(Gosh, thanks so much.)
She shows her gratitude to her senior like this.
I'm grateful.
Let's hurry on to their specialties.
Let's see Zoo's specialties first.
She prepared for us beatboxing of various kinds of people.
This is her beatboxing of a person who has a cold.
- That's what he meant. - This is a person who has a cold.
Let us hear it.
(Beatboxing)
(Sneezing)
That's hilarious.
(Beatboxing and sneezing)
That was it.
That's quite funny.
(It's funny.)
- That was a person with a cold. - That was good.
This time, it's actor Yoon Mun Sik's beatboxing.
Please start.
(Beatboxing)
"Hey, you punk."
"You brat."
That's funny.
(She's quite good.)
This time, it's Ok Hee of "Mother and a Guest".
- Ok Hee. - Little Ok Hee beatboxes.
Please let us hear it.
(Beatboxing)
"Sir."
That's quite good.
"What kind of side dishes do you like?"
- That was it. - Oh, that was good.
Ok Hee and the sneeze were great. Ok Hee and the sneeze.
- Yes. - Ok Hee and the sneeze were great.
I heard P.O is good at...
impersonating Ok Hee too.
Can you do it while beatboxing?
Please do it for us.
(P.O tries the Ok Hee impersonation with beatboxing.)
Show us, P.O.
(Beatboxing)
(Mister)
I apologize.
Please give it up for him.
- Yes. - Great. That was good.
(He still did well.)
It's Aquarium's turn now.
If he doesn't become the masked king,
he wants to replace Won Jun, the voice actor who says...
"King of Mask Singer".
- Seong Ju. - Yes?
When did our voice actor say it that way?
My gosh. Hey, he never did that.
I can't do it well,
but he practiced to introduce a masked singer.
Let's say Gu Ra...
appeared wearing a mask.
He will impersonate Won Jun. Please start.
This is the first match of Round One.
He ground his jaw just for today.
My Jaw Keeps Growing,
Lower Jaw.
(It sounds like he's going to sing with his jaw.)
That's fun.
- That's really fun. - Great.
Won Jun, if you liked it, will you make a heart?
He liked it. He liked it.
Then let's see...
how different it sounds when Won Jun...
says what he just said.
(Show us.)
That's not an easy job to do.
Please show us.
This is the first match of Round One.
He ground his jaw just for today.
My Jaw Keeps Growing,
Lower Jaw.
(The original can't be beaten.)
He's really good.
- It sounds much more appealing. - "Lower Jaw" is fun.
"Lower Jaw."
I love the name of the masked singer.
- Do you like it? - "Lower Jaw" is great.
The original is different.
Now, the result of the third match of Round One will be revealed.
Between Aquarium and Zoo,
who will be the winner of the third match of Round One?
It will be revealed now.
(It will be revealed now.)
(Aquarium's voice was sweet, but it had a kick.)
(Aquarium had the cool charm.)
(Zoo's refreshing voice reminded us...)
(of a summer night.)
Who will go to Round Two?
Who's the winner of this round...
who will move onto the next round?
- The winner is... - The winner is...
The winner is...
(Whose voice captured the hearts of the panelists?)
- The winner is... - The winner is...
(I Deserve to Be After the Throne, Right? Zoo wins.)
Zoo wins.
(Going to the Zoo is the best option for a weekend.)
(Zoo's song was really lovely.)
(It's such a shame for Aquarium.)
It was 53 to 46.
53 to 46.
With the final score of 53 to 46, Zoo moved on to Round Two.
Please go back to your waiting room.
She seemed very dumbfounded.
Zoo was really shocked.
I deserve to win the second round, don't I?
Let's find out who Aquarium is.
We will find out with a solo performance prepared for Round Two.
Please give him a round of applause.
(His identity will be revealed with a solo performance.)
(His voice was as sweet as soda with honey.)
(Is he a Korean American idol whose specialty is dancing?)
(This song is...)
Is it "Because You're My Woman"?
Isn't this Kim Min Woo's song?
It's Lee Seung Gi's.
(Is it?)
("Because You're My Woman" by Lee Seung Gi)
(It sounded like soda with honey.)
(But now it's mellow like coffee with honey.)
(On top of mellow melody,)
(his sweet voice and lyrics that capture women's hearts...)
(harmonize.)
(Thinking of only one person,)
(he plainly expresses his feeling.)
(Because you are my woman, because you are my lady)
(It's a heartfelt confession...)
(towards the woman he loves.)
(The song resonates throughout the studio.)
He's a rock musician, isn't he?
Now, Aquarium, please take off your mask...
and reveal your identity.
(Oh, my goodness! No way!)
(Who is it?)
Please reveal your identity.
He is...
the member of a male group with a presence of craziness,
NORAZO. He is OneHm.
- NORAZO. - OneHm. OneHm.
He's OneHm.
(They are shocked by his unexpected identity.)
He is a rock musician.
(He set the flashy makeup he usually wears aside.)
(He becomes a sincere boy and sings the song.)
(His passionate love is conveyed.)
(OneHm's "Because You're My Woman" was a passionate love confession...)
(for just one person.)
(That was beyond nice.)
His voice is like pure water.
What a shame. He's so good.
Please say hello to the viewers.
Hello. I am the right side of NORAZO, OneHm.
(In 2017, he joined the most unique duo, NORAZO.)
(With the presence as strong as Jo Bin's...)
(and with his great singing ability, he received attention.)
(His unique character...)
(made him a sought-after star in the advertising industry.)
(OneHm of NORAZO has the refreshing charm with a kick.)
Is it your first time to be on TV without Jo Bin?
Yes. It's my first time ever.
He must've been so nervous.
If people heard this song in Round One,
many people would've...
made a different choice. That's how well you did.
It's such a shame you didn't make it.
- Actually, I feel very good. - Do you feel good?
- It was a huge pressure for me. - Right.
Honestly, I feel a little sad.
But I want to hurry and run away from this stage.
Was there the side of you...
you wanted to show us through King of Mask Singer?
NORAZO welcomed a new member, me.
As I joined NORAZO, the group started anew.
But many people still think I am E Hyuk.
- Right. - There are many people.
You are a different person, but people assume you are E Hyuk.
Right.
NORAZO has changed one of its members...
and is starting anew.
I want people to know that.
Most people thought...
- you were an idol. - Thank you so much.
I was surprised when I saw your age.
People think I'm in my 20s. I am in my 40s.
- What? - So...
- You are surprised, aren't you? - I was shocked.
I am shocked too.
- He's 41 now. - Is he 41?
He looks so young for his age.
Really?
He looks very young.
You look very young,
and even your voice sounds like you are in your 20s.
- Thank you so much. - You are lucky.
- Am I right? - Thank you.
(You're really handsome.)
His age is even more shocking.
He has the perfect voice...
to be a member of NORAZO.
A clear and powerful voice like his...
is the best to clearly deliver the message that NORAZO...
wants to deliver through their songs.
I really enjoyed his solo performance.
Thank you.
Today, he gave a performance by himself for the first time...
and made his name known.
It was OneHm of NORAZO. Please give him a big hand again.
(You were really great today.)
I've never given a solo performance in Korea.
Also, I've been singing in NORAZO's style,
and some people didn't even know that I'm a new member.
I just want people to know how I like to sing...
and how I can sing differently in NORAZO.
I hope they'll see me as a singer...
who can sing in different styles.
Masked Singer of First-class Water, Aquarium was me,
OneHm of NORAZO.
I wish you a lifetime of happiness.
I Deserve to Be After the Throne, Right?
Zoo defeated OneHm of NORAZO and moved on to Round Two.
The last match of Round One.
I'll be the new masked king until the hottest days of summer!
Oh, chicken soup
Sing for Chicken Soup!
(Sing for Chicken Soup)
Would you like to listen to my song?
(My song will reinvigorate you.)
(I feel energetic already.)
We should have chicken soup on hot days like this.
"If I stay on the throne..."
"until the last dog day, the chicken soup is on me."
Chicken soup is the best food for summer.
Let's meet his opponent.
Nightingale, I'm coming for you.
Whirring...
Fried Chicken!
(Whirring Fried Chicken)
Enjoy my juicy voice.
(Whirring Fried Chicken)
(We're having fried chicken for dinner today.)
(He's a dashing, tall man.)
He's tall.
He's an ostrich, not a chicken.
(A match between two chicken dishes)
(Which of them will the audience choose?)
(Chicken Soup, the hot, filling dish?)
(Or Fried Chicken, the crispy and juicy dish?)
It sounds like a traditional song.
(What's this song with a mellow melody?)
("Friend" by Ahn Jae Wook)
(The song begins with Fried Chicken's beautiful voice.)
(Amazed)
(Chicken Soup's rough voice catches everyone's ears.)
(This is great.)
(One of them has a soft voice while the other has a rough one.)
(Chicken Soup and Fried Chicken sang about true friendship.)
(The song still lingers in their ears.)
Gosh, they showed some bromance.
The last match of Round One is now over.
Yoon Sang, they gave a good performance, didn't they?
I don't know if I should say this or not,
but he reminds me of two English letters.
Are you talking about Chicken Soup?
- Yes. It's his stage name. - His stage name.
Is his stage name English?
As I'm sure everyone is thinking the same thing, I think he's JK.
(I think he's JK.)
He has a voice that you just can't hide.
You think he's obviously JK?
- Yes. - Speaking of his voice,
I'm a close friend of JK Kim Dong Uk's.
- Are you? - Yes, but...
JK has a very big head.
(Laughing)
For me, it wasn't his voice that gave him away.
It was his mask.
Only JK has a big head like that.
- I'm sure of it. - Okay.
- That's JK's head. - You may be right.
I thought he was an actor who was singing in an exaggerated way.
But actually, his singing really touched my heart.
But we have young people here,
and Fried Chicken's voice sounded clear and composed.
I think young people might like that better.
What do you think his profession is?
I think he's someone who can sing better than a singer,
but who's not a singer.
- So what are you saying? - I don't know what he is.
(He sounds frustrated.)
- He could be a model. - I see.
Ever since Hyo Seong said...
he looked a little bit like Sleepy,
- Sleepy? - he's all I can think about...
when I look at his physique.
You can't think of anyone but Sleepy?
I actually know who he is.
- What? - Really?
- Yes. - Is he a singer?
He used to be a singer, but he's now an actor.
Really?
Should I give you one of his initials?
- One of his initials? Okay. - Yes.
- N. - N?
Nam Joo Hyuk?
I'm 100 percent sure.
- All right. - Okay.
- Now, let's see their specialties. - I wonder what they'll do.
Let's start with Chicken Soup, the one you're all curious about.
He will express the feelings he's had while...
being on our show today through dance moves.
Is JK Kim Dong Uk a good dancer?
Of course not.
Music, please!
(How are Chicken Soup's dance skills?)
(Groovy)
(He's playing with the rhythm.)
How do you feel to be on our show?
Maybe it's not him.
- It can't be him. - He's dancing cheerfully.
All right, Chicken Soup.
(Even the idol singers are surprised by his flexible body rolls.)
His dance seems to be stirring up the audience.
I think he's feeling good today.
(It looks like he used to go clubbing quite often.)
He can't be JK Kim Dong Uk.
(He dances freely to the rhythm.)
(I'm the dancing king today.)
He's a great dancer.
(I don't think he's JK.)
That's all.
(That was amazing.)
I don't think it's him.
This means...
you talked about how his head is big when he wasn't even here.
Yoon Sang, you said he couldn't hide his voice.
I guess he's a great dancer.
If he can dance like that, he can't be JK.
"He can't be JK"?
That's being bias.
He can be a good dancer.
But you can't hide your age.
- What? - He moved so lightly,
and JK could never do that.
You think so?
- Maybe he's Tiger JK. - Tiger JK!
Tiger JK.
You're right. More than one person has "JK" in their names.
Right.
Tiger JK.
This is so funny.
Do you want to try dancing to the same music?
All right.
(The audience is excited.)
Music, please.
(How will Fried Chicken dance to the song?)
(He starts off with a restrained move.)
- Gosh, he's... - Is he an idol singer?
He's dancing freestyle.
According to his style.
(There he goes.)
(Body wave)
(He makes a turn and loses his balance.)
(Shaking)
(His dance moves seem a little clumsy.)
(Is it a dirty dance?)
It seems a bit weird.
(What is that?)
(Meanwhile, Chicken Soup keeps to the beat.)
(Fried Chicken moves forward like a crab.)
His comical spirit is coming out.
(He turns again.)
(Is this a sexy dance?)
(He's serious, that's for certain.)
(But it looks comical.)
(Dropping)
(It's crazy.)
That's the end of it.
(Thank you for your freestyle dance.)
- Good job. - The reactions were the opposite.
- What do you mean? - Some people...
were amazed...
while the people here were laughing out so hard.
I know.
People have their own likes and dislikes.
Regardless of his identity,
I'd like him to dance again with his mask off.
You want him to do this dance again with his mask off?
- All right. - I really do.
It's time to watch Fried Chicken's actual specialty.
He's prepared a girl group dance moves from the 2000s.
(Will he show off his dance again?)
Music, please.
(Music is played.)
(Wiggling)
(Look at his buttocks.)
(It's "No No No" by Apink.)
(He's a girl group member at heart.)
(Chuckling)
It's the song by Apink.
(Laughing)
We're getting different reactions.
Some people are laughing while others are amazed.
It's uncomfortable to watch.
(Creaking)
(Stiff)
(Laughing)
(It's like he's flapping his wings.)
- My gosh. - He's got to do this part.
(Pointing)
(That's my song.)
("Magic" by Secret)
It's "Magic" by Secret.
Oh, my
(Oh, my)
(Were you surprised?)
(Laughing)
His dance moves look big because of his height.
He's good.
(He finishes off by showing off his curvy figure.)
All right.
That's it.
Great.
(Panting)
(He danced to 2 girl group songs in a row.)
He's about to throw up.
I feel so bad for him.
You do?
He's very willing and passionate,
but he isn't as good.
- Fried Chicken seems disappointed. - I feel sorry for him.
I think...
he's an old-time singer.
An old-time singer?
Perhaps, it's the one who used to be a member of Left Turn.
Kim Jin? No way.
- Kim Jin? - He's in his mid-40s now.
He doesn't have such a shape.
It's not him.
- I'm getting surer about my guess. - You are?
As far as I know, he's recently been discharged from the army.
- Let me stop you there. - I guess it's really him.
His voice and everything...
remind me of Kwang Hee.
Because he's slim?
It hasn't been a while since he completed his military duty.
And his clear and thin voice sounded like Kwang Hee's.
All right. Let's see who gets to advance to Round Two.
It's a head-on match...
between the national healthy food and the national late-night snack.
I'll now reveal...
the last winner of Round One.
(It'll be revealed now.)
(Chicken Soup overwhelmed the studio with his husky voice.)
(He stole the female audience's hearts.)
(With a clean and clear voice,)
(Fried Chicken made the audience's hearts flutter.)
Is it Chicken Soup or Fried Chicken?
Who's the winner chosen by the audience?
- The winner is... - The winner is...
The winner is...
- The winner is... - The winner is...
(What's the best food chosen by the audience?)
Is it Chicken Soup or Fried Chicken?
The winner is...
- The winner is... - The winner is...
The winner is...
Who is it?
(Sing for Chicken Soup is the winner.)
Sing for Chicken Soup is the winner.
(Healthy food is the best.)
I knew it.
(They feel bad for Fried Chicken.)
(Chicken Soup)
(Singing)
Chicken Soup was chosen by the audience.
The voting difference is 73 to 26.
Chicken Soup, please move back to the waiting room.
Give him a hand.
He is the last one to advance to Round Two.
Look forward to Round Two.
(Chicken Soup)
Is he the one who changed his career from a singer to an actor?
Let's check his identity along with his solo performance.
Give him a big hand.
(His identity will be revealed along with his solo performance.)
(King of Mask Singer)
(There have been a lot of guesses about his identity.)
(Is he the one who recently finished his military duty?)
("Mom" by Ra.D)
It's him.
(I doubt it.)
(His delicate sentiments...)
(make the audience immersed in the performance.)
(The sentimental melody fills the studio.)
(It's so good.)
Now, Fried Chicken, please take off your mask...
and reveal your identity.
(Screaming)
They're going crazy.
Who is it?
He's handsome, right?
Reveal your identity.
He is...
the former member of the global idol group, Cross Gene.
He's the celebrity from Japan, Takuya.
(Fried Chicken was Takuya.)
(This is crazy.)
(Gu Ra...)
(No, I mean...)
You were totally wrong.
(His voice has surprised everyone.)
- So he's Japanese, right? - Yes.
It's completely unexpected.
(He's cool.)
His dance confused us all.
(Trembling)
(He's good at singing.)
(Though he's nervous,)
(he sings with all his sincerity.)
(The beautiful, sincere performance, "Mom" by Takuya)
(How sentimental.)
I thought it was No Min Woo.
(She gets it.)
It seemed like him.
- We were all fooled. - Goodness.
It was Takuya.
He's so handsome.
Please say hello to the viewers.
Hello.
I'm Takuya. It's nice to meet you.
(He debuted as a member of Cross Gene in 2012.)
(He appeared on "Non Summit" as the Japanese representative.)
(He drew people's attention...)
(with his charms and fluent Korean language skills.)
(He showed a new side as an actor on "By Chance in Japan".)
(He recently made an impression as a fashion model too.)
Gu Ra got a little confused. He was indeed once a singer.
But when he said he went to the army,
I realized he didn't know.
It's impossible for him to go to the Korean army.
He thought he was No Min Woo.
- No Min Woo. - Yes.
- A member of TRAX. - He does look a bit like him.
Not at all!
- He's tall. - Yes. And he's handsome.
I was relieved though.
While singing, I have problems...
pronouncing certain letters.
I was worried about pronunciation,
but it worked out all right. I'm glad.
I didn't recognize he had an accent.
I had no idea.
(I'm glad to hear that.)
Your dance was very impressive.
(Oh, right.)
It's a sad thing.
(Oh, my.)
I want to see it again.
Some of us loved it.
Will his dance look different...
when he doesn't have the mask on?
It will definitely look different.
Let's see how much his face affects it.
Please show us the dance again.
(We would love to see it again.)
Please stand here.
Please cue the music.
(Freestyle dance without the mask on)
He's going to dance with the mask off.
(Cheering)
(People start cheering already.)
Their reaction is totally different from earlier.
His dance does look different from earlier.
(Smirking)
(Sexy)
(Oh, my goodness.)
(He sends a heart.)
So his face does affect the dance.
(Gosh, this is amazing.)
(It's the same dance, but he gets a different reaction.)
(Contented)
The people here are strange.
(They were laughing earlier.)
They were laughing earlier.
(This move is...)
(This is the move that entertained everyone.)
(But now...)
(He looks gorgeous.)
(Look at those people.)
(His face completed the dance.)
All right. Well done.
- Well done. - They reacted differently.
You guys were laughing when he was doing this.
Gosh.
Your mask rather had a bad effect on your performance.
It seems like I'm quite unlucky today.
(He's so funny.)
I heard you had a special reason why you wanted to be on this show.
Since I work in Korea,
my friends and family...
don't know much about what I do.
It's not like I'm on Japanese TV shows.
And this show is quite popular in Japan.
- Really? - Yes.
So I wish my appearance on this show makes them happy.
Understood.
He had a special reason.
Takuya has a lot of different charms.
Let's give a round of applause to his fresh start!
(Be the VIP member of Melon and be our audience!)
(Next week)
(Only one voice will take over the throne.)
(That person has to go to the throne.)
(The contestants spread their wings to drop the masked queen.)
(No one knows how the match will end.)
(The throne is mine.)
(The masked queen is on the edge of the cliff.)
(The inevitable reality hits her hard?)
(You lost, but you fought well.)
(What is going to happen to the masked queen?)
(It will be revealed next week.)
Don't cry.
