Previously on King of Mask Singer.
The unexpected identities of the masked singers shocked us all.
(In Seong had good looks and mellow voice.)
The artists took new challenges, and it became a hit.
(Park Seong Ho performed with sincerity.)
And today,
Genie is going for his third victory today.
That magical journey...
begins right now.
(It begins right now.)
(King of Mask Singer)
This is the first match of Round Two, Semi-finals.
This masked singer defeated comedian Park Seong Ho.
He's got the vocal cords that never go bad.
My Song Will Make You Grow,
Mask Milk.
(My Song Will Make You Grow, Mask Milk)
(I want to grow tall enough to reach the throne.)
(Who ordered milk?)
(Me!)
My goodness. The date changed.
I checked the date a while ago.
(Mask Milk filled the stage...)
(with his heavy voice.)
(The panelists had divided opinion on whether he's a singer or not.)
(Who is this masked singer with unusual soundbox?)
(The taller he gets, the more talented he gets.)
(Will he capture the hearts of the panelist,)
(defeat the growing idol,)
(and make it to Round 3?)
("After Letting You Go" by YB)
This song is...
(I know this song.)
(He carefully sings the first bar.)
(His voice sounds different from Round One.)
(Isn't he too good?)
He's good.
(He sings each word with his heart.)
(Mask Milk's song touches us deeply.)
(The resonance of his heavy voice...)
(conveys the sorrow of a breakup.)
I thought he was Park Wan Kyu at first.
(This is deep.)
(The deep emotions linger in our hearts.)
(His performance captivated the panelists' hearts already.)
(His deep voice fascinates our ears.)
(He doesn't want to let her go,)
(but he has to because he loves her.)
(Why couldn't I ask her)
(To come along with me)
(Mask Milk performed "After Letting You Go" with much longing.)
(He made us feel so lonely.)
(That was amazing.)
(Wistful)
Here comes his opponent.
He beat Singer Jang Moon Vok.
Sweetheart, you do whatever you want to do in Round Two.
I'm Making My Debut as the Masked King,
Pick Me Up Idol!
(I'm Making My Debut as the Masked King, Pick Me Up Idol)
(His debut performance will be given on the throne.)
(As always, I am the best-looking one here.)
(He's so gorgeous!)
Here comes the Idol!
He looks so fit.
He looks young.
(Behind the cute voice...)
(is a charming husky voice.)
(His singing techniques sound familiar?)
(He's a big shot.)
(Who is Pick Me Up Idol, a man with an irreplaceable voice?)
(Finally, Pick Me Up Idol's solo performance begins.)
(To win the hearts of the King of Mask Singer producers,)
(what kind of fascinating performance will he give?)
("You Who Don't Answer" by Kim Jong Seo)
I already like it.
(He sings with a sad voice as if he talks.)
(He overwhelms the audience with just one verse.)
(Singing with a rough voice,)
(he describes the moment of the break-up.)
(The mere act of breathing...)
(makes me feel empty.)
(Left alone after losing the loved one,)
(his longing grows stronger.)
(You are not by my side any longer.)
(Getting emotional)
(They can feel his pain keenly.)
(Their hearts ache.)
(He's good.)
(Bearing with the broken heart,)
(he sings out in grief.)
(His performance overwhelms...)
(the whole studio like a storm.)
("You Who Don't Answer", a song of a man who lost everything)
(That was deep!)
(His incredible performance resonates in their hearts.)
The first match of Round Two has come to an end.
They have pretty different voices.
Young Seok?
- As for Mask Milk... - Yes.
In Round One,
unlike his attitude when he talks,
he was so stiff when singing.
And because he's in a cow costume,
he looked only sincere and powerful to me.
So I thought...
he would choose to sing an old song that is opera-style.
But he has shown a completely different style.
This performance was much more attractive and sophisticated.
His low voice sounded very charming too.
He's not a professional singer,
but he gave a very touching performance.
And Pick Me Up Idol's performance...
started with a monologue and ended with a wail.
We often say some songs are sad...
and poignant,
but his performance was far beyond that.
I almost felt like he sang so hard all his inner organs have come out.
It was so heartbreaking.
To me, it almost didn't sound like "You Who Don't Answer".
It almost sounded like a completely new song.
His performance was quite over the top.
But at the same time, I could feel he's a great singer and I liked it.
It was a great performance.
I felt like I was at a concert where I paid for an expensive ticket.
- I see. - Yes.
Hyun Chul?
Pick Me Up Idol...
kneeled down...
at the end of the second chorus...
and I don't think it was just for showmanship.
- You mean he hasn't planned it? - No.
It seemed to me...
that he didn't do it to look cool.
He's indeed an excellent singer.
Pick Me Up Idol...
kneeled down and it was too much.
It was too much?
I think he was being too dramatic...
- to hide his identity. - He was being too much.
It can be seen like that.
Jae Jung?
I think Pick Me Up Idol is definitely a rocker.
He's a rocker.
He sounded like...
he put everything into this.
It was so desperate.
I was indescribably touched.
I see.
Now, in order to help you guess their identity,
they will show you their specialties in this round as well.
Pick Me Up Idol will let you hear his real voice.
He wrote...
that dogs sound different depending on where they live.
Dog sound?
First, he'll let us hear the sound of a dog that lives in a city.
A dog from the city.
Pick Me Up Idol, please let us hear it.
(Barking)
He's timid.
(The city dog sounds somewhat timid.)
Why does it sound like that?
I want to know the reason.
There has to be a reason.
- Why... - Why is that?
Why does a city dog bark so timidly?
Is it because buildings are soundproof?
Is it because they are not allowed to be loud?
Right.
Right. Right.
It's because of the noise complaint issues.
- The noise complaint issues. - City dogs live in apartments.
So the owners train them to be quiet.
- Right. - Like this.
That was a very good observation.
This time, it's a more special dog.
This dog lives in the country.
Since it was little, it's been feeding on fox's milk.
That's interesting. That's an interesting story.
He wrote it.
It's a country dog that grew up feeding on fox's milk.
Let us hear it.
(On the night of full moon, the country dog misses its mom.)
(Oh, dear.)
(Howling)
(Who am I?)
(The howling makes us doubt his identity.)
All right. That was different.
That was different.
I am sorry, but he's not drunk, is he?
Isn't that the old-fashioned dance?
He's giving us the impression...
of a country bumpkin.
Round Two, Semi-finals.
I will reveal the result of the first match.
Who will make it to Round Three?
Who do we want to see again in the next round?
I will reveal the winner of this match.
(He has a heavy voice.)
(Mask Milk with unusual soundbox)
(It's hard to forget his impactful voice.)
(Pick Me Up Idol with screaming voice)
Between the two masked singers,
who will be the first one to make it to Round Three?
Who is the winner of this match?
- The winner is... - The winner is...
The winner is...
(Which voice captured the heart of the panelists?)
- The winner is... - The winner is...
Who is it?
(Pick Me Up Idol won.)
(Let's debut, Pick Me Up Idol.)
Mask Milk did well too.
(My goodness.)
Pick Me Up Idol made it to Round Three.
The score was 75 to 24.
With 75 votes,
Pick Me Up Idol made it to Round Three.
Please move to the waiting room.
Please congratulate him with a round of applause.
(Shortly, Mask Milk's identity will be revealed.)
On Round Three, I will do my best again...
and put on the best performance. Cheers to me.
Now, unfortunately, we will be saying by to Mask Milk...
on Round Two.
We will check Mask Milk's identity.
Please move to the back of the stage.
Now, Mask Milk, take off your mask...
and reveal your face.
(He's voice was stylish and flexible.)
(He touched us all. Who is Mask Milk?)
Now, Mask Milk, take off your mask...
and reveal your face.
(They are happy.)
(No way.)
Who is he?
He's a popular guy. He's a popular guy.
Who is he?
(Who are you?)
He is...
the artist who dominated "Infinite Challenge",
dramas, films, and even musicals.
He's the all-round entertainer,
Jung Jun Ha.
Thank you.
(It was Jun Ha.)
(No way.)
(Unbelievable!)
Please say hello to the viewers.
Long time no see, everyone.
I am comedian Jung Jun Ha. Hello.
(He's the genius comedian who debuted 25 years ago.)
(He was the ace of "Infinite Challenge"...)
(with many nicknames.)
(Now he's taken over the musical scene.)
(He's got the unrivaled presence in all genres. He's Jung Jun Ha.)
We've been trying for a long time to get him here.
He finally made up his mind and came out on the show.
I am not very good at singing.
But I mustered up my courage and came out here.
- It was very challenging. - He says this,
but many people acknowledge him as a good singer.
(Right.)
I can't believe...
I had no clue that it was him.
I've known Jun Ha for a long time,
and I never imagined that I wouldn't recognize his singing voice.
(He never expected to see Jun Ha appear.)
(No way.)
(Yoon Sang became utterly flustered when his identity was revealed.)
I didn't recognize his voice.
How could I? I haven't felt that in a long time.
If I knew you sang so well,
I would've picked a different song...
for the music festival, Jun Ha.
Africa Doto Doto Jambo
Exactly.
(Don't be sick Doto Doto Jambo)
(They worked together on Infinite Challenge Music Festival.)
Sadly we will be saying goodbye on Round Two.
How was it to perform on King of Mask Singer stage?
The writers and the production crew...
told me people might identify me by my appearance.
- Right. - They told me to be careful.
When I was coming in,
I usually walk comfortably like this.
But I intentionally walked differently on the way in.
(Walking with short strides)
(He was very careful.)
(Nobody would know that it's me, right?)
More importantly, I tried hard to get rid of the nasal sound.
Because my attention was focused on that,
I couldn't sing too well.
He went from the idiot of "Infinite Challenge"...
to a musical actor.
Shouldn't you sing...
something from your musical before you go?
Please.
(Bravo!)
People are surprised that you are doing musicals.
Please give it up for him.
(They are excited.)
(From musical "City of Angels")
(Absolute obedience is your specialty)
(So just listen to me)
(My goodness.)
(He sings hard with a serious attitude)
(He's not the funny man I used to know.)
(He's an amazing man who sings about life on stage.)
(His voice is very loud.)
My goodness. You look different.
Jun Ha is great.
You utilized your soundbox to the maximum.
You sang very loudly.
It's lovely.
The description "all-round entertainment"...
suits him better than it suits anyone else.
After thinking for a long time, he came to King of Mask Singer...
and showed his presence to the entire world.
- Give it up for him once again. - Thank you.
(Please sing more with your great voice.)
- Thank you. - Go, Jun Ha!
Thank you.
(It was so nice to see you.)
King of Mask Singer...
is where people who love to sing and to perform...
can come and put on their dream performance.
I practiced really hard for it.
I was worried about what people would think of it.
I think a lot of people now understand the singer side of me.
That's what makes me the happiest.
My Song Will...
Make You Grow,
Mask Milk was me,
Jung Jun Ha.
Round Two ended.
I'm Making My Debut as the Masked King,
Pick Me Up...
Idol defeated Jun Ha...
and made to Round Three.
This is the second match of Round Two,
Semi-finals.
This masked singer defeated TV personality Choi Hee.
My songs are just too hot.
I'm the Best in Summer,
Water Park.
(I'm the Best in Summer, Water Park)
(Will she make it straight to the throne?)
(I am the queen of summer.)
(She looks cool.)
She's good.
Right.
I'm excited to see her performance.
I don't think she's an idol. She doesn't walk like one.
(She's got the lovely voice that tickles our ears...)
(and a sense of rhythm.)
(But her voice is also strangely sad.)
(Is Water Park a balladeer?)
(Are you ready to enjoy it?)
(Will Water Park capture the hearts of the panelists...)
(defeat the rival who looks like he's dying of heat...)
(and go straight to Round Three?)
("Nocturn" by Lee Eun Mee)
The stage looks so beautiful right now.
("Nocturn" by Lee Eun Mee)
It's "Nocturn".
(She sang a cheerful song for duet, but this time she chose a sad song.)
It's Korean traditional music.
(Water Park's sorrowful voice...)
(matches the mood of the song perfectly.)
(Although they don't want it to end, they have to end it.)
(Love alone can't protect the love.)
(Her desperate voice moves the audience's hearts.)
I'm certain she's a professional singer.
(She's a professional singer for certain.)
(This is the best decision we could make.)
(It is not)
(Our fault)
(A breakup that's still hard to believe)
(Flowers like tears)
(The song about a heartbreaking breakup, "Nocturne" by Water Park)
(Full of emotions)
It's the best.
- Is she a teacher? - It's crazy.
Who is she?
Against her...
is the masked singer who defeated In Seong of KNK.
New humankind named masked king has appeared.
Pick My Name,
Australopithecus.
(Pick My Name, Australopithecus)
(His singing ability will explode like a volcano.)
(He begins hunting the audience's hearts.)
(Everyone's in love with him already.)
I feel like he's going to show us something amazing.
- He's crazy. - He's unbelievable.
- This match is so fierce. - I know.
(He performed as if he had been waiting for this day in Round One.)
(He sang his heart out.)
(Behind his manly charm,)
(his sentimental voice was hidden.)
(Yoon Sang's comment on Australopithecus)
(He couldn't find any flaws.)
(He gave such high praise for Australopithecus' performance.)
(The audience will get to watch his faultless performance again.)
(Will he be able to meet the audience's expectations,)
(have Water Park close down early,)
(and stand as the rival of the masked king?)
("Through the Night" by IU)
It's "Through the Night".
This is unexpected.
(They're excited at his unexpected song selection.)
(His clear voice...)
(embroiders the night sky in mid-summer.)
Gosh, it's touching.
I love it.
(Like stars in the night sky,)
(his voice smears deep in the audience's hearts.)
(This night)
(Firefly light)
(Of that night)
(I will)
(Float it)
(Close to)
(Your window)
(I hope)
(You have)
(A nice dream)
(Making everyone unable to sleep)
("Through the Night" by Australopithecus)
I love it. It's so good.
Singing this song will be a perfect way to make a woman fall for you.
That's it for the second match of Round Two.
Let's hear from Yoon Sang first.
He looks so bright.
Let me start with the one whom I couldn't find any flaws last week.
Australopithecus.
- Did you find any faults this time? - Yes.
So he has faults. I'm sure he has.
I found that fault because of Water Park.
You were able to find his fault because of Water Park?
The way she pulled off singing "Nocturne"...
would even make the original singer on her toes.
I'm usually not the kind of person with a sharp feeling.
But I've noticed who Water Park is.
- You mean, her identity? - Yes.
I was surprised at myself too.
"Wait, how did I find this out?"
You wondered alone.
I've rarely come across her name on music charts.
She's very active these days.
I didn't know her voice was this unique.
Without any others to compare,
her voice reminded me of her identity.
I'm sure her stage name has two syllables like me.
I'll stop here.
Wait, you shouldn't stop there.
You said he has a fault compared to her.
Here's the thing.
Water Park did such an unbelievable job performing "Nocturne",
so even though he pulled off singing "Through the Night" amazingly,
he might still be at a disadvantage.
Yoon Sang just wants us to pay attention...
to the point that he knows her identity.
- That he's figured it out. - That's his point.
- It's two syllables, right? - What?
Yoon Sang seems to be supporting Water Park.
- Young Seok? - Yes.
I thought she was a rhythm and blues singer in Round One.
But she felt like a Korean traditional singer in Round Two.
Korean traditional singer?
Guess which part of her performance I loved the most.
- Which part is it? - Where she went, "Don't be sorry."
(Don't be)
(Amazed)
When she sang "be" of "Don't be sorry",
I could hear her unique vibration...
and a bit of her husky voice.
That sound has got to be preserved forever.
- Was it that good? - It was so cool.
- I see. - And as for...
You said he would make himself...
- a strong masked king candidate. - I know.
I still think the same.
But for his performance to capture our ears,
he let down too much of his greed.
It was very profound. He relaxed himself...
and mixed a nasal sound delicately to his original voice.
Performing these kinds of songs is actually very dangerous.
They seep into your heart.
I am sure a lot of women fell for this dangerous man.
He is a dangerous man.
If he keeps going,
he will be explosive in Round Three.
He didn't try hard in Round Two.
I don't know if it's vanity or confidence.
In any case, it was a charming performance.
You are sure a lot of women fell for him.
Let's ask Hye Lin.
Did Australopithecus move your heart?
He moved my heart a lot.
As soon as his performance ended, I thought,
"I would fall for a man who sings like that at karaoke. "
He is dangerous.
- He has a dangerous voice. - I had that thought...
because I was so absorbed in the performance.
His performance was quite different from last week's,
but I think he wants to show that...
he can cover a wide range of songs.
I like a masked singer who can do that.
- That's all. I won't say more. - I see. All right.
Both Sang and Young Seok are...
renowned experts in music.
I think both of them voted for Water Park.
- That's the atmosphere. - Yes. That's the atmosphere.
But when I look at the audience,
there are a lot of young people.
Thus, I think Australopithecus has...
an advantage.
- The result of the match... - It's too early to guess.
- It's too early to be disappointed. - I see.
His performance was unexpected.
In that costume,
he suddenly sang "Through the Night" by IU.
It naturally surprised people.
I think these factors give him an advantage.
You think it's hard to tell who the winner will be.
This time, Water Park will show her specialty.
With the panelists' names,
she will show cute acts.
Her cute act will contain a panelists' name.
That's good.
Whose name will come up first? Let's hear it.
Did I do a good job?
Then give me an award. I don't want the popularity award.
Do you know which award I want? Yoon Sang.
Yoon Sang.
- "Sang" and "Award" sound the same. - Go away!
- He is embarrassed. - Yoon Sang.
His face turned red.
Young Seok and Hyun Chul are looking forward to theirs.
(I know what they are like.)
If you don't have ours, we will become sullen.
- That's right. - Yes!
If you have Sang's, but not theirs,
they will become sullen.
Please do theirs.
I hope they do theirs for peace.
Whose name will you use next?
Let us hear it.
Gu Ra. Gu Ra. Did I do a good job?
(For goodness' sake.)
Will you vote for me? Really?
You aren't lying, are you? If you are, I will become sullen.
(Staring)
- Let's end it here. - Oh.
My heart isn't at ease.
Young Seok and Hyun Chul...
You can't help but worry about them.
They become sullen very easily.
- You need to do it for one of them. - That's right.
Young Seok is seriously nervous.
- Make one with my name. - He began to bite his nails.
I am nervous as well.
Sang is the only one who is relaxed.
Whose name will he hear last? Let's hear it.
Gosh, I don't want to hear it. Because of them...
(The tension is ridiculously thick in the air.)
Kai, Kai.
(Crying)
(Kai? What?)
Did I do a good job?
Shall we go to Boracay? Boracay with Kai!
- This is fair. - Yes.
Hyun Chul, the shoot isn't over.
Hyun Chul. You should have made one for him.
The two of them were so expectant,
but you went, "Kai, Kai."
Listen.
She can't change what she made in advance.
She is honest.
Given the atmosphere,
she could have changed the name.
That's right.
She stuck to what she has.
She might move on to Round Three.
Make something with their names...
and tell us in Round Three.
That's a good idea.
- I am begging you. - That's right. If you move on...
- to Round Three, - Please do that.
- do it for them. - I am begging you.
I will look forward to it.
Both Water Park...
and the panelists were burdened by these cute acts.
Now, I will announce...
the result of the second match of Round Two.
With string music,
Water Park slowly moved the heart with her performance.
As gently as the fireflies,
Australopithecus lit up the studio with his voice.
Between these two masked singers,
let's find out who will move on...
to Round Three.
(There was strong vocalization hidden inside her pure voice.)
(Water Park's sorrowful voice moved the heart.)
(He competed with his gentle sentimentality.)
(Australopithecus showed a voice you can't help but fall for.)
Between Water Park and Australopithecus,
who will be the winner of this match?
- The winner is... - The winner is...
(The winner is...)
(Whose beautiful voice does the audience want to hear?)
(Whom will it be?)
Whose voice does the audience prefer?
- The winner is... - The winner is...
Who is the winner? Show us the result.
(Australopithecus won.)
Australopithecus.
(Australopithecus did it again!)
(Surprised)
(It was hard to predict the result.)
Australopithecus beat Water Park...
and became the winner.
The final score is...
- 55 to 44. - It was a close match.
55 to 44.
There was a difference of 11 votes.
Australopithecus seems to be flustered.
He looks like he is thinking, "Why did I win?"
You did a good job.
Please go back to your waiting room. Give him a big hand.
(Water Park's identity will be revealed.)
Australopithecus moves on to Round Three.
I will do my best in Round Three.
(Here we go!)
Let's find out...
who Water Park is.
Please move to the back of the stage.
Now, Water Park,
please take off your mask and reveal your identity.
(Her sad voice didn't suit her stage name, Water Park.)
(Sang figured out her identity.)
(Does her stage name has two syllables?)
Please take off your mask and reveal your identity.
(My goodness!)
She is...
(Who is she?)
She is...
a popular trot singer who starred in "Miss Trot",
Hong Ja.
(I was right!)
(Was she Hong Ja?)
Hong Ja. Hong Ja.
(Welcome.)
Please say hello to the viewers.
She is a woman whose voice...
is as rich as ox bone soup.
That's me, Hong Ja. Hello.
(She started her era with her sorrowful voice.)
(She placed 3rd in a competition program.)
(She has eccentric charms.)
(Hong Ja is the singer whose voice is as rich as ox bone soup.)
Do you feel the rise in your popularity these days?
A lot of people recognize me...
and my schedule is packed.
- I am very thankful. - I see.
Yoon Sang.
Is she the one you had in mind?
Yes, she is.
I find it fascinating too.
I recently heard her voice a few times on TV,
but the memory surfaced right away.
It tells me that she has an incredible aura.
Last week, I simply thought...
she has a charming voice that is gentle and a bit husky.
In her performance of "Nocturne",
she showed the energy of a big-time singer.
It was shocking to me.
Since she has the ability to pull off a variety of genres,
she did well...
in the recent competition show.
I think she is an artist with a bright future.
Thank you.
Why would you eliminate Hong Ja?
- The result came out that way. - I am saying...
she shouldn't have competed against Australopithecus.
Had you used Mask Milk,
she might have ended up competing for the throne.
Why did you eliminate her so early on?
- Be considerate of Mask Milk. - Seriously.
He even sang a musical number.
You let the viewers hear your voice...
through King of Mask Singer.
How does that make you feel?
This opportunity was unimaginable to me in the past.
I am very honored.
I will work harder from now on...
and spread my voice.
Thank you.
(We enjoyed your performance.)
With sentimentality that is...
as moist as a water park,
she showed us her charms in genres besides trot.
Please give a big hand to Hong Ja.
Thank you. Thank you.
(We look forward to your future endeavors.)
Ga In told me that she was nervous on the show.
I felt like my heart would jump out of my chest.
I think I got eliminated so that I can survive.
I almost died.
I was so nervous.
I'm the Best in Summer, Water Park...
was me, Hong Ja.
Thank you.
Pick My Name,
Australopithecus beats Hong Ja...
and moves on to Round Three.
The mysterious music show, King of Mask Singer.
Before the 108th king is decided,
we have only the last round left now.
We'll have the two masked singers...
that are threatening...
Genie's third successive win back on stage.
Please give them a round of applause.
Pick Me Up Idol and Australopithecus...
who beat outstanding opponents...
in the previous round.
This is Round Three.
First, Pick Me Up Idol,
please tell us how you're feeling.
Thank you everyone for picking me up...
so I could come this far.
He's an idol artist.
He's obviously an idol artist.
King of Mask Singer.
I'm about to make my debut as the King of Mask Singer.
(He's a mysterious idol who only says what he needs to say.)
It seems like he memorized the lines.
Australopithecus, how are you feeling?
King of Mask Singer.
I called dibs on the throne.
I'll see you soon.
(Shy)
(Australopithecus is shier than he looks.)
- He sounds like a shy man. - He's bashful.
I wonder how you feel now.
They both are strong contenders...
who are good enough to captivate women's hearts.
Well... Still,
I should give it a try.
Now that I've come this far,
I'd like to...
- have my three consecutive wins. - All right.
Which of them will snap...
the 107th King of Mask Singer,
Genie's winning streak?
First, Pick Me Up Idol will show his performance.
(Pick Me Up Idol performs first.)
I wonder what song he's singing.
(Me too.)
(He's about to make his debut as the King of Mask Singer.)
(Even the panelists feel nervous watching him.)
(Will he defeat strong competitors...)
(and manage to make his debut?)
(Pick Me Up Idol's final performance begins now.)
What song is this?
(The melody sounds familiar.)
- It's "Sad Love". - It's "Meeting".
- I see. It's "Meeting". - "Meeting".
(It's "Meeting", not "Sad Love".)
("Meeting" by Noh Sa Yeon)
(The lyrical melody of nation's beloved song, "Meeting")
(His calm voice lays gently on it.)
(He sounds somewhat different from Round Two.)
(His song is concise but deeply emotional.)
(His tone of voice gets deeper with emotions.)
(It sounds touching and heartwarming.)
(With his powerful voice,)
(the lyrics sound more intense.)
(I love you)
(They all are deeply moved by his song.)
It's like he's roaring.
(They all are deeply moved by his song.)
(This is really nice.)
(The familiar tune is covered with his unusual charm.)
(Pick Me Up Idol makes people forget it's a competition.)
(His voice has become even more emotional.)
(A fateful love that leaves no regrets)
(A voice filled with conviction)
(A fearless man's confession of love)
(You...)
(I love you.)
(Moved)
("Meeting" with Pick Me Up Idol's passionate voice)
I just got caught off guard.
(Pick Me Up Idol is a real man.)
That was amazing.
I love you.
- I love you. - I love you.
His opponent...
beat Jeong In Seong of KNK...
and Hong Ja...
and slid on to the throne on an iceberg.
Pick My Name,
Australopithecus.
(Pick My Name, Australopithecus)
(He's evolving to become the King of Mask Singer.)
(You'll pick my name one again, right?)
(Yes, we will.)
He's a real man. Look at his shoulders.
I have no idea who he is.
Right. That's why I'm excited.
(Neoanthropinae to be the King of Mask Singer)
(Under the panelists' expectations,)
(will he defeat his rival...)
(and evolve into the masked king?)
("Guilty" by Dynamic Duo)
- What is this song? - I don't know.
It's...
It always goes against my expectation.
(With his sentimental voice,)
(he captivates the audience immediately.)
(He shows off his unexpected rap skills.)
(Behind his sweet voice,)
(he has this dominating charisma.)
(It's as if he were casually blurting out a story.)
(The atmosphere changes freely.)
(An unconstrained groove...)
(is pouring out rhythmically.)
(His emotions are delivered so well.)
(He portrayed his deep sentiments through "Guilty".)
(It's amazing.)
He's so charming.
Who is it?
- He is so... - It was like a one-man show.
- Who could it be? - My goodness.
The Final Round is over now.
What do you think of their performances?
I like both of the songs,
so I cheered on them while watching them like a member of the audience.
You just cheered on them...
because you didn't think they were not that threatening?
Are you confident?
I can't say I'm confident.
I just want to empathize with you guys...
and show you a good story.
I think he prepared a song that he can sing with the audience.
- No, it's not a song like that. - It isn't?
- No. - It's not?
Actually, it's a song I can sing alone.
(He is funny.)
He has to get prepared to win three times in a row.
Please go backstage and prepare for the Final Match.
Please give him a round of applause.
(Go, Your Majesty.)
Genie will go get prepared for the Final Match.
I wonder what the panelists think about Round Three.
Would you take the mic first, Young Seok?
I was looking forward to seeing Round Three because...
I couldn't wait to see what song Pick Me Up Idol will sing.
Trot songs usually sound comfortable,
but he sang it so sincerely, which had a different feel to it.
There is a part, "Don't look back".
(No one could even think about it.)
As he sang it like that, no one could be able to look back.
It was so appealing.
I think everyone has his or her own interpretation of a song,
in that sense, I guess he is a few steps ahead of others.
When you listen to "Meeting" by Noh Sa Yeon,
it feels like they went through a lot,
overcame all the hardships,
and finally met each other, which is so precious.
But "Meeting" by Pick Me Up Idol is just full of joy.
Love don't exclusively belong...
to young people.
I enjoyed listening to it a lot.
Kangnam, when Australopithecus was singing,
- you even jumped... - I did.
and reacted so enthusiastically.
(He got excited as soon as the song started.)
(He moved up and down right after he listened to the rap.)
(As soon as the performance ended, he stood up.)
(He was so excited to know who he was.)
He sang it perfectly well,
and his rap was perfect too.
So I don't understand how come I don't know him.
- Well... - You didn't know many people.
- I didn't? - Right.
Well, I used to be a hip-hop idol singer.
But... I don't know who he is.
I'm even confused whether he is a rapper or a vocalist.
He is too perfect. Who is he?
Guessing who he is the purpose of this show.
Honestly, none of us here knows who he is, right?
- None of us does. - I don't know either.
I feel the same.
So aren't you too frustrated now? He is such a great singer.
If you thought he's that good, you should've voted fast,
but you were the one who voted last.
It was because Pick Me Up Idol's song...
was like a movie.
He made it into a story with ups and downs.
He is really good at it.
I wanted to watch it again next time,
but at the last moment, he said, "I love you."
I love you.
(He unexpectedly said, "I love you." with a soft voice.)
(It captivated many panelists' hearts.)
That was too much.
- Was that too much? - So...
- if you want to... - It was over the line.
do it again next time,
just skip the part.
Or you can sing "I love you".
- Everyone is different, - Right.
- and it was too much for you? - Yes.
I have an opposite opinion. My heart fluttered.
- You do? You are different. - It sounded so romantic to me.
Romantic people would feel it was romantic.
I was even reminded of the times...
I was in a romantic relationship.
I respect the performance.
Now, in the Final Round,
who will be picked as the rival of King of Mask Singer?
The only person who will be in the 108th Final Match...
will be revealed now.
(He delivered a heartrending sound.)
(Pick Me Up Idol with a sorrowful voice)
(A voice that captivates women's hearts)
(Australopithecus who sang deep sentiments.)
Between the two, who is the one you want to see again?
- The winner is... - The winner is...
(Which voice did the panelists choose?)
(Who is it?)
- The result is... - The winner is...
- The winner is... - The winner is...
Who is it?
(Australopithecus won.)
Australopithecus won.
(He evolved one more step.)
(I knew he'd make it.)
He did a good job though.
(Pick Me Up Idol did a good job too.)
Australopithecus was picked...
as a candidate for King of Mask Singer.
The result is 70 to 29.
He received 70 votes. He is amazing.
Please give him a big hand.
(The most handsome singer on the show will be revealed.)
Australopithecus.
Your Majesty, I'll follow you soon.
(Your Majesty, I'll follow you soon.)
Pick Me Up Idol's identity will be revealed.
Who could it be?
Now, Pick Me Up Idol, take off your mask...
and reveal your face, please.
(His performance was like a movie.)
(The one who can fill the generation gap)
(Is it him?)
(A big shot with unexpected charms?)
Pick Me Up Idol, take off your mask and reveal your face, please.
(Shocked)
This is...
Gosh, they're shocked.
Why are they so surprised?
This is...
the eternal companion in the pop industry...
and the master of trot songs, Tae Jin Ah.
(It was really him.)
(We missed you.)
(Singing)
(Gasping)
(Nice to meet you, everyone.)
Nice to meet you, everyone.
(The master of trot songs who's been a singer for 46 years)
(His name is called on almost every award ceremony.)
(He is true to the name as the best singer loved by the nation.)
("Ok Kyung", "Lady Without a Mirror", "I'm So Sorry",)
("Sun Hee's Bag", "Yellow Handkerchief", "Love Is No Joke")
(The king of trots who dominated karaoke)
(The real legend that covers generations)
(The eternal companion in the pop industry, Tae Jin Ah)
You must've been so surprised to see the legend...
on King of Mask Singer.
I'd really like to know what made you decide to come on this show.
It is every man's dream...
to challenge, and...
in fact, I wanted to be here once before I got older.
I can see his eyes are teary now.
I think you are feeling emotional now.
Well, now that I see my junior singers up there...
like Hyun Chul, Sang,
and my foster son as well.
(Feeling guilty)
Your foster son kept saying Australopithecus was better.
Well...
He changes his mind constantly.
Every morning and night.
So I don't have to care about that.
When I saw my junior singers sitting over there,
I thought it was a good decision...
- to come here. - It was.
I feel like crying.
Gu Ra, as his junior,
please tell me what kind of meaning his performance has.
He tries his best in everything indeed, and he never stops.
He is always energetic and passionate.
That's why we all admire him.
How about you, Yoon Sang?
This couldn't have been easy for him.
But if you think about it,
he always works with an open mind,
so it's natural that he wanted to try something new like this.
He sang with a voice...
that only he could make just like when he was...
in his best days, and it was very touching.
I see.
Jin Ah was worried that...
Kangnam might recognize his voice,
but Kangnam said his performance was over the top.
(He criticized Jin Ah without realizing who he was.)
- That was... - Who said such a thing?
Personally,
I wished that I was...
edited out of this show completely.
I'm going to ask the director after the shoot.
- He says everything will be aired. - Really?
I'm in trouble then.
When our viewers see that it was you...
behind the mask,
they'll be very surprised,
and they'll want to listen to one of your trot songs.
Since you have a microphone in your hand,
could you sing "Companion" just a little bit?
(That'd be great.)
("Companion")
(This song and this move represent Tae Jin Ah.)
(This is what we're talking about.)
(You are my companion)
(You are my companion for life)
(We haven't felt the vibes of the godfather of trot for a while.)
(This legendary singer's showmanship captivates all women.)
(Fascinated)
(Everyone enjoys his performance together.)
(He sings enchantingly as the king of trot music.)
(You're the only one)
(Enjoying the rhythm)
(That I love)
(You're my companion for life)
(This performance shows his weight as a legendary trot singer.)
(Delighted)
We've listened to his voice so much,
but he tried a new singing style today.
Song Dae Kwan, your rival,
hasn't come on our show yet.
Oh, right.
Since I came on this show,
I'll recommend him to do the same.
I'll tell him that it'd feel...
strange but good.
Also, I'm meeting Hyun Cheol next week.
- I'll recommend it to him as well. - Right.
- Lee Mi Ja too. - Her too?
- Really? - It'll be good for them.
Gosh, I'd love to see her here.
I'll tell Patti Kim as well, although she already retired.
- Patti Kim? - Since she retired,
- That'd be amazing. - people would want to see her.
- I'll tell them all... - Oh, my.
to come on this show.
We'd really appreciate it.
If you guys are watching,
let me just say that King of Mask Singer is the best.
It sure is the best.
Jin Ah graced our show today...
with his 46 years of experience as a singer.
I hope he will keep working as a singer...
for a long time as everyone's companion.
Please give him a big round of applause.
I love you all!
We love you too!
Some people think...
that I can only sing trot songs,
and I wanted to prove them wrong.
I had fun today. I really enjoyed it.
I'm Making My Debut as the Masked King,
Pick Me Up Idol...
was me, Tae Jin Ah!
This is the result of Round Three.
Pick My Name, Australopithecus...
defeats Tae Jin Ah and advances to Final Match.
The mysterious music show, King of Mask Singer.
What only remains now...
is Genie's performance to defend his throne.
What kind of performance will Genie,
the 107th King of Mask Singer, give to achieve his 3rd victory?
Let's watch Genie's performance!
(It begins now.)
This is the 108th Final Match.
The 107th King of Mask Singer,
Genie Will Beat the Masked King!
(The masked king makes a dazzling entrance.)
(Hello)
(It's great to see you, Genie.)
That's a cool entrance.
He's the masked king, and he looks very composed.
Maybe he's just pretending to be.
I have a feeling that he'll sing an intense song today.
(Genie aims for his 3rd victory.)
(What kind of magical song will Genie sing...)
(to overshadow Australopithecus...)
(and stay on the throne?)
I think it's "Memory of the Wind".
("Memory of the Wind" by Naul)
(Amazed)
(Genie sings with a calm voice.)
(Nothing but Genie's voice fills up the stage.)
(It's breathtaking.)
(Mesmerized)
He sounds amazing.
(Genie's voice sounds sorrowful yet beautiful.)
(The way we met, the way we parted)
(In those faded memories)
(May the pain become beautiful memories.)
(Oh, my goodness.)
("Memory of the Wind" by Genie, a performance that gave you hope)
(Thank you, Genie.)
(It made me cry.)
(They give him a standing ovation.)
(They're still overwhelmed.)
It was wonderful.
His voice is so clear, isn't it?
That was the best performance he's ever given.
Genie's performance is now over.
I wonder what you guys thought. Yoon Sang.
I've watched...
Genie's performances ever since he became the masked king,
and his performance today was overwhelming.
He's gotten even better...
since he became King of Mask Singer.
(He's right.)
He sounded really stable today,
and he controlled the song the way he wanted.
That's how composed he was,
and I got a little jealous of him.
Young Seok, do you also think his performance today was better?
His performance has always been good.
He chose to sing songs of...
Urban Zakapa, Park Hyo Shin, and Naul.
(Genie chose to sing great ballads...)
(which require good singing skills.)
He has chosen songs of the artists...
who are really pure when it comes to their music.
In order to sing that kind of songs,
he needs a good understanding of his own voice and the song.
His performance today was terrific.
Right.
Hye Lin, this is your first time watching Genie's performance.
I got to listen to him sing live here,
and it gave me goose bumps.
I just thought that he's the masked king for a reason.
Which of them do you think earned more votes from the female audience?
If they were impressed by...
Australopithecus' different talents...
that he has shown in the previous rounds,
they would've voted for him.
If they prefer mellow music,
they would've voted for Genie.
I see. How about you?
(Moaning)
I can't tell you.
All right.
Gu Ra, did you do exit polls?
I don't do exit polls anymore.
I think I saw you asking around.
I just do a sample survey now.
Sample survey? I guess you just asked a few people.
Based on the songs that Genie has chosen to sing,
it seems like Genie wants to focus on...
nothing but his singing ability.
On the other hand, Australopithecus has sung...
three different kinds of songs...
in the previous rounds.
Yes.
(He made a strong impression on everyone with "As Time Passes".)
(Then he sang "Through the Night", a lyrical and emotional song.)
(Lastly, he sang "Guilty", a groovy rhythm and blues song.)
I think his versatility will...
work as his life force...
and make him survive...
the music scene which is like the jungle.
I know that at least three people are fascinated by his versatility...
because the three people I talked to all voted for him.
Me, Kangnam, and Hyun Chul.
- The three of us. - Why do you keep doing this to me?
- We voted for him. - Stop revealing whom I voted for.
I did a sample survey, and all of us voted for him.
He certainly has the upper hand.
It's his sweeping victory so far.
I'm sure they were all captivated by...
- Right. - his versatility.
The mysterious music show, King of Mask Singer.
I have the result of the 108th Final Match.
Will Genie achieve his third consecutive win?
Or will Australopithecus become...
the new King of Mask Singer?
Who will take the throne...
as the 108th King of Singer?
Let's find out now!
(The voice that fills up the stage)
(Australopithecus sang with a powerful voice in Round One.)
(He sang a soft and sophisticated song...)
(about love in Round Two.)
(Then he showed off his different charm...)
(in Round Three by singing a rhythmical song.)
(The emotional voice that touches your heart)
(Genie gave a sorrowful performance.)
Between Australopithecus...
and Genie,
who will be the 108th King of Mask Singer?
The winner is...
- The winner is... - The winner is...
The winner is...
(Who will take the throne?)
The winner is...
Who is it?
(Genie Will Beat the Masked King wins.)
The winner is Genie.
(Genie achieved another victory. He's amazing.)
(Australopithecus did so well too.)
The 108th Masked King is Genie.
The final score is 72 to 27.
By a large margin,
Genie won the match and defended his throne.
We'll present him with the golden mask and the king's robe once again.
(Congratulations, Genie.)
All right. How do you feel?
I'm so grateful.
I will keep working hard...
to give a better performance.
- Thank you. - All right.
(They're already excited for it.)
Genie is the 106th, 107th, and now the 108th King of Mask Singer.
He has achieved three consecutive wins so far...
with your great support.
We can now watch...
his performance again in the next episode.
All right. Now,
let's find out who Australopithecus is.
Who could this man be?
Please come to the back.
Now, Australopithecus, please take off your mask...
and reveal your face.
(He was flawless and perfect in each round.)
(Who is this man with great musicality?)
Please take off your mask...
and reveal your face.
(Surprised)
He is...
Who is it?
Why are they so surprised?
Please take off your mask...
and reveal your face.
He is...
the lead vocalist of...
Jang Deok Cheol, the rising chart-topping group,
Deok In!
(Deok In of Jang Deok Cheol?)
(Everyone is surprised to see him.)
We've talked about that group many times.
Please say hello to our viewers.
Hello. I'm Deok In, the lead vocalist of Jang Deok Cheol.
- It's great to be here. - All right.
(The group that climbed the music charts back up)
(Deok Jin of Jang Deok Cheol, the group of singers on the rise)
(Deok In's voice soothes everyone's heart.)
So in your group, Jang Deok Cheol,
- you're the "Deok", right? - Yes.
It's been quite a long time since we debuted,
but many people still think that it's one person's name.
But Jang Deok Cheol is the combination of our names,
Jang Jung Hyeok, Deok In, and Im Cheol.
I hope many of you will listen to our songs.
I thought "Deok" in Jang Deok Cheol...
meant virtue as in knowledge, virtue, and health,
"Cheol" meant strength,
and "Jang" meant long life.
- Something like that. - He's being pompous again.
I'm not being pompous.
I'm not.
It's just my fundamental curiosity.
My gosh.
I don't believe that girl.
What?
"Fundamental curiosity"?
You started out as an indie band, right?
That's right.
We're all in our 20s, but none of us looks that young.
- What? - He's in his 20s?
None of us looks that young.
That's why we didn't really have...
many opportunities to perform.
- We worked as an indie band then. - He's 27 years old.
- He's the same age as me? - Really?
Yes, I'm 27.
- Are you the same age? - Yes. Oh, my.
Gu Ra said his sample survey said you had the upper hand.
It seemed like you had your hopes up.
- Yes, just a little. - Right.
Just a little.
Hyun Chul,
we know that you voted for him.
He sang...
three different kinds of songs.
It makes me very interested in what kind of music...
Jang Deok Cheol will produce in the future.
It's like he already showed us...
that they can handle any kind of music.
I became his fan today.
All right.
With deep emotions and a rich voice,
he proved himself as a chart-topping artist.
It was Deok In. Please give him a big hand.
Thank you.
(In the next episode)
