[Asia Economy Reporter Kang Hyesoo] On the afternoon of the 19th, the MBC show 'King of Mask Singer' aired a stage featuring 8 masked singers aiming to stop Chow Yun-fat's 5 consecutive wins.

The first stage of Round 1 was a showdown between Minyo and Beast. Both chose Andrea Bocelli's 'Mai Piu Cosi Lontano' and showcased powerful vocal ranges in a close match. This stage ended with Minyo winning 11 to 10, advancing to Round 2.

The identity behind Beast, who removed his mask, was Go Woolim, a member of Forestella, the winner of Phantom Singer. Kai recognized Go Woolim early and praised him, saying, "A voice that is in the top 1% worldwide."

The second stage of Round 1 featured Libra and Scorpio. They selected Heize's 'Bido Ogo Geuraeseo' (It Rains, So...), contrasting a thin and delicate voice with an emotionally rich one, capturing attention. Scorpio won this stage 15 to 6.

The defeated Libra was revealed to be Olympic gold medalist and table tennis star Hyun Jung-hwa. The judging panel was amazed to see the national star after a long time. Hyun Jung-hwa said, "I am a fan of Kang Daniel," and added, "Kang Daniel likes Heize, so I chose 'Bido Ogo Geuraeseo.'"

The third stage of Round 1 featured Jjamjjamyeon and Banban Chicken, who chose Jang Yoon-jeong's 'Flower.' Banban Chicken had a feminine and refreshing voice, while Jjamjjamyeon impressed with a smooth voice. Jjamjjamyeon won 14 to 7 and advanced to Round 2. Banban Chicken, who removed the mask, was singer Hwang Inseon, known as Hwang Imo.
