King of Mask Singer (미스터리 음악쇼 복면가왕)

This is the 1st match of Round 2, Semi-finals.

This masked singer beat the former rhythmic gymnast Shin Soo Ji.

I Will Go Up to the Highest Notes.

Cable Car.

(I Will Go Up to the Highest Notes. Cable Car)

(The final destination of Cable Car is the throne.)

(Dear audience. be careful not to fall into her charms.)

She's full of talent.

It's time to show us her best moves.

(She seemed to be comfortable with leading the audience.)

(Her clear voice instantly captures the hearts of the panelists.)

(Cable Car's sweet charms wake us up from our sweet dreams.)

(and Cable Car's voice shines brightly like a comet.)

(Her dazzling performance captured all hearts.)

Nice!

She sounds like a vocalist...

- of a modern rock band. - Yes. A band vocalist.

- She sounds like a band vocalist. - She does.

Contending against her is this masked singer...

who beat the TV personality Lee Ji Ann.

I've been a musician all my life.

Have You Been a Masked King?

Stay Quiet if You Haven't.

Singing Master.

(Have You Been a Masked King? Stay Quiet if You Haven't. Singing Master)

(There are just two steps left to the throne.)

He's going to be good too.

I'm so excited.

(And Singing Master made the panelists' hearts flutter.)

(from a group that was active in the 2000s?)

(Let's watch Singing Master's performance...)

(that will make Cable Car tremble with fear.)

No way.

See? He's going to kill us all.

This is serious.

(He chose this song with a strong determination.)

It's so good.

(He starts the performance by singing each bar...)

(Unlike in Round 1. his voice sounds very sad.)

(I want to hear this voice 365 days a year.)

You are the master.

I am sure he runs a singing class.

He's too good.

The 1st match of Round 2.

the Semi-finals ended.

Won Jun. why are you smiling?

- It delighted my ears. - Right.

Cable Car performed like a racing car rather than a cable car.

She put on one thrilling performance.

Seeing the way she carried out the performance,

I thought she might be a veteran singer.

An experienced singer.

She's got the talent to manipulate the performance.

She's got the skills.

It was speedy and thrilling.

I think my guess is right about Singing Master.

He is...

- He stretched his hands again. - Right.

Seeing the way he sang. I thought...

he is more like a deity of singing...

than a master.

- He surprised me. - Right.

The masked queen might lose her place.

Won Jun wants him to take the throne.

SOHEE. you seemed to love their performances.

I could see their charms much better on this round.

It made me realize once again just how well they sing.

My ears were delighted.

Cable Car is older than you. right?

She's got more know-hows and stage control.

- But her voice is very girl-like. - Yes.

So I am not sure about her age. But I truly enjoyed her performance.

Right.

- Yoon Sang. - Yes.

Last week. you said she might be a Japanese Korean.

This time. I only paid attention to her amazing singing talent.

Her pronunciation didn't stand out.

How did she manage to become...

- a Korean in just a week? - Right.

She must be a genius linguist.

There was that. and something else really surprised me.

What surprised you?

Singing Master is truly incredible.

Won Jun and I talked about this earlier.

There are people who are born with the talent to sing high notes...

and can get really good through a little bit of training.

I think Singing Master practiced really hard to get that good.

It made me respect him.

I was impressed at how much emotion he managed to contain.

It made my hairs stand.

He must've worked really hard to sing like that.

He's a true master.

Yes. He is a true master.

It's proven that he is an incredible singer.

(Singing Master is a truly incredible singer.)

Can he become the masked king?

He sure can.

Yoon Sang agreed to it too.

- Singing Master sings very well. - Right.

But he's got the body...

- of Yoon Jeong Soo and Kim Byung Man. - Right.

They might be short.

- but they are very strong. - They are strong.

- Yes. - Yes.

He's a very good singer.

but we are not quite familiar with his appearance.

He might be someone who's been singing original soundtracks.

- I think that's the right direction. - Right.

When you sing ALi's songs. you have to cry.

He cried a little less.

Singing this song. ALi cried a lot.

She cried a little more.

He didn't cry quite enough.

That's what he might have done wrong.

He might have cried less. but he made the audience cry.

- He made the audience cry. - He has to cry more...

to make the audience cry.

- He says he has to cry more. - Right.

He has to cry more.

- That was the way to go to Round Three. - I see.

If ever he goes to Round Three. he has to cry more.

He has to cry more when he sings.

He could've done better I think.

Young Seok. what did you think of their performances?

Singing Master proved to be the singing master through it.

He sang his version with a slower tempo.

Most people would want to sing the climax...

- with more desperation and sorrow. - Right.

But he restrained these emotions.

leaving the job to the audience.

This shows he's indeed a master.

I'd like to listen to him sing this song...

literally every day.

- That's how I felt. - Right.

Should he have more cried. or was that enough?

I'm glad he didn't cry.

And as for Cable Car. I'm sure all of you have noticed.

When you sing a fast song like this.

it's easy to emphasize the earlier parts.

It's not easy to emphasize the climax.

But she did it.

Seeing that made me think she's a very talented singer.

I'm so happy that I got to watch such a performance.

I see. All right.

Now. let's try to guess their identities with more hints.

Cable Car.

We got a video message from her close acquaintance...

who wouldn't feel awkward at all...

to be alone with her in a cable car.

This would certainly make it easier.

Let's see who sent it.

Hello. I'm Actress Kang So Ra.

First off. Cable Car and I...

go a long way.

I saw her on a lot of variety shows...

and fell in love with her.

So I personally messaged her. That's how we became friends.

She's such a charming lady.

She looks so feminine and cute on the outside,

but there's a scientist inside.

Scientist?

She's also very nifty.
