About The Show

The King of Masked Singer (or Mystery Music Show: Masked Singer’s King) is a South Korean singing competition program that airs on MBC starting from April 5th, 2015. This singing competition is presented by Kim Sung-joo and directed by Noh Si-yong and Oh Noo-ri. The show is introduced by voice actor Lee Won-joon. In the show, each competition lasts for two episodes in three elimination rounds where the singers compete against each other one-on-one while they are given elaborate masks designed by Hwang Jae-geun, in order to conceal their identity. The singers will sing the same song in the first round, and then in the second round, they each sing a solo song. The winners are chosen by the selection from the audience and panel of celebrities through instant live votes. Here is a list of The King of Masked Singer‘s contestants.  

Kwon Hyun-bin’s Performance

According to www.soompi.com, in the MBC The King of Masked Singer broadcast on September 8th, 2019, the contestant called Father-In-Law and Husband Kim went head to head during the first round, as they sang “One Love Forgotten With Another Love.” When the Father-In-Law lost in the first round from the Husband Kim, he took the stage to sing his scheduled solo song “Beauty” by Shin Joong Hyun.   It was just a second before Kwon Hyun-bin accidentally took off his mask. 🔗 https://t.co/hGponwRjxB pic.twitter.com/z4CDxV9wC1 — Pantip Korea (@pantip_korea) September 18, 2019  

Sudden Reveal

The Father-In-Law unfortunately lost in the first round and had to take off his mask. But then, before the MC of this show, Kim Sung-joo even told him to take off his mask, the Father-In-Law already took it off while singing and it was revealed that it was Kwon Hyun-bin. The panels and the audience were so surprised by this.

MC Kim Sung-joo even commented, “This is the first time that something like this has happened on The King of Masked Singer. I didn’t give him the sign to take off his mask, but he did.” Kwon Hyun-bin answered that he felt too nervous and unconsciously took off his mask. “When I was first asked to appear, I was really nervous, and I was a bit worried about being judged. I’m tone-deaf, so I can’t sing. I was so nervous because I had to sing in front of many people. But now that I’ve made my solo debut, I want to appear more confident,” said Kwon Hyun-bin. Netizens’ reactions after watching the broadcast found his act refreshing and called it “adorable.”  

Fun Facts

As it was said above, Kwon Hyun-bin took his mask off because he felt so nervous on the stage, so he accidentally did that. He is the first contestant to do that, and also the first contestant that broke an unspoken rule of The King of Masked Singer. Netizens also ‘LOL’-ed it and thought that it was so funny from Kwon Hyun-bin.
