Episode synopsis
After securing a third win, Perfect Aim Marksman returns to defend his longstanding run as King. The guest judges are joined by legendary balladeer and five-time King, Yangpa, to watch the new masks duke it out. Some masks share connections to notable artists like SOYEON, BIBI, and IU, while one's clear yet powerful voice is reminiscent of S.E.S's Bada. The masks spare nothing in preparing breathtaking performances for their shot at the throne.
About Mystery Music Show: King of Mask Singer
Competitors are given elaborate masks to wear in order to conceal their identity, thus removing factors such as popularity, career and age that could lead to prejudiced voting. In the first round, a pair of competitors sing the same song, while in the second and third rounds they each sing a solo song. After the First Generation, the winner of the Third Round goes on to challenge the Mask King, and is either eliminated or replaces the previous Mask King through live voting. The identities of the singers are not revealed unless they have been eliminated.
