On the afternoon of the 26th, MBC's 'King of Mask Singer' aired a stage featuring eight masked singers challenging the reigning king, Nangrang 18-se.

After finishing the stage, Kim Youngcheol said, "I am the popular singer Kim Youngcheol," and shared his feelings about appearing on the show, saying, "I got choked up during my solo song. I was a bit absorbed in the song and was very happy."

He continued, "I first appeared on 'King of Mask Singer' four years ago," adding, "I felt good because they called me an actor from the start today."

He then revealed the reason for his appearance, saying, "This time, I think I was invited as a singer," and "I wanted to be a good example after seeing juniors active as 'Maheunpaibeu' (Forty-five)."
