The Hidden Singers program in South Korea is a variety show broadcast by JTBC in South Korea. The pilot program received praise, and after the official programming, with the success of the program, the program also entered the season broadcast.
In the show, real singers and imitators sing behind the curtain to find out who the real singer is. From round 1 to round 4, 100 guests, including artist guests, designate specific people in that round, count the number of votes, and decide whether to eliminate or winner.
The first three rounds only listen to the first section of a given song to vote, and each round selects the most votes out of 6 contestants, including the Yuanzu singer. In the first round, only the faces of the losers and the position of the ancestor singers were made public, and after the second round of voting, the second half of the music was played, and the faces of the participants in each room were made public. The third round of voting in audiovisuals, directly starting the second session, reveals the faces of the participants in each room.
Even if the Yuanzu singer is eliminated, the Yuanzu singer cannot go to the elimination seat, but must sing to the end. The imitation singer automatically entered the next round, and 2 people were eliminated.
If the quest song is a duet or a song performed by another singer, a special guest will appear who will sing that part. It is generally only the first verse in the first and second rounds or interrupted before the introduction of the second quarter, so it is difficult for special guests to appear, and the last round is the intention of the production team to show only the dignity competition between the participants.
In the 4th round, only the first section of a given song is listened to, and the ballot is held during the broadcast song, and the person who is most like the real singer is the 3 participants, including the Yuanzu Singer. Immediately after the voting and interlude, the second quarter begins, revealing the faces of the participants in each room, and by the end of round 4, the results will be made public from the person with the fewest votes (3rd place).
If the original singer before the fourth round is not selected, the contestants in the previous round, including the original singer, will continue to the next round. At that time, the number of votes obtained by the original singer will be processed as no votes, and the number of eliminators in the relevant round will reach 2. For reference, although there is no history of original singers frantically snatching in the first round, in the fourth season that aired on October 17, 2015, Buzz Min Kyung-hoon was eliminated in the third round for the first time. In this case, in Round 4, the least number of votes will drop by one, while the number of votes for the aid singer will be considered invalid, and the rules are the same for the winner and runner-up when the existing aid singer is eliminated. When Zhao Chengmo was eliminated in the second round for the first time as an original singer, he also said that the same rules were also hosted by Quan Xuanmao, and the same rules were applied in other rounds.
As mentioned above, in the final round 4, the person who looks like a singer is voted, and the last imitator will receive a prize money and the qualification to participate in the king of kings battle held at the end of the season. Regarding the bonus, hereinafter.
If the original singer is eliminated before the 4th round, he will continue to sing and accept the vote, but if the original singer has more votes and enters the elimination circle again, then the next ranking of the female singer will drop. That is, the votes that the original singer gets after losing the election will be considered invalid. In the next round of competitions where the original singer is not selected, 2 singers will be eliminated, and the original singer will continue to sing. If you are eliminated in the 3rd round, then 4 people can be seen singing in the last round, which has appeared 3 times so far.
Most of the people who were eliminated in the first round at the beginning were because of their own state, skill, strength problems, and the gap in strength with other imitating singers, and they would understand that they were not such people when they heard it, but from the second round onwards, if they were not real fans, they would be a little confused. In the last round, it was mainly difficult to select songs among the songs of related singers, coupled with a long period of recording, the state of imitating singers also declined, and most fans were easy to guess the original singers. Coupled with the fact that over time, the faces of original singers and imitators will become familiar, and their voices will also match, so it will become easier and easier to master.
The name plate of "Imitator" is introduced with "nickname + ancestor singer + name".
Generally, each round of song selection is carried out by the original singer's songs, which are well known to the public, and the popular songs of the original singers. Of course, if the cover of other singers' songs, rather than the songs of the original songs, are widely disseminated to the public, there are also cases where the original songs are chosen. The most representative ones are Park Jeong-hyun's "Now It's Better", Kim Kwang-seok's "Turned to Dust" in the second season, Ren Shun's "Goose's Dream" in the third season, Kim Yeon-woo's "If You're Like Me" in the fourth season, and "After Falling in Love" in the fifth season of Jeon-in-kwon.
In the 1st issue, those with the ability to imitate exceeded the rule that the real singer paid a prize of 10 million won when winning in the 4th round, but no one received the prize money. Therefore, from the second season onwards, the prize will be doubled, and if the imitator surpasses the real singer to win in the fourth round, he will receive a prize of 20 million won. Even if the imitator can't beat the original singer, he can get the votes of the last round x 100,000 won.
