Among them, a masked singer reminiscent of Chae Yeon is expected to draw attention.

Chae Yeon, known for her dazzling performances, dominated the Korean music scene in the 2000s as the 'original sexy diva.' She continues to captivate fans with her ageless beauty and has been sharing nostalgic content, including 'tear selfies' and other throwbacks from her prime.

During a recent recording of 'King of Mask Singer,' a masked singer who evoked memories of Chae Yeon performed a duet, impressing the audience with their unique rhythm. It was reported that broadcaster Hyun Young (현영), who was part of the judging panel, speculated that the masked singer might be Chae Yeon, who was active around the same time.

Chae Yeon previously appeared on 'King of Mask Singer' in 2019 as the masked singer 'Camellia Lady' (동백아가씨), showcasing her explosive vocal talent that left the audience in awe. Given her background as a performer known for her sexy dance routines, her vocal abilities were particularly striking. Fans are now curious if she will return as a new masked singer after six years.

Additionally, the upcoming episode will feature a masked singer believed to be actor Lee Moon-sik (이문식), known for his impressive acting skills in various productions. After a duet performance, the audience was captivated by the familiar yet distinctive voice, leading one judge to guess that the masked singer was Lee Moon-sik based on their unique expressiveness.
