The lead vocalist of a girl group left an impression on âThe King of Mask Singerâ!
On the January 6 episode, contestants âA Good Brotherâ and âKongji and Patjwiâ faced off in the first round.
They performed a sweet rendition of G.NA and Rainâs âIf I Have a Lover,â showcasing their warm and clear vocal timbres respectively.
Spoiler
âA Good Brotherâ took the win for the round with 61 votes to 38 votes, leading âKongji and Patjwiâ to unmask herself. While singing Red Velvetâs âBad Boy,â she revealed herself to be none other than Lovelyzâs lead vocalist Sujeong!
The idol is the fourth Lovelyz member to appear on the show. As someone who has produced extensively for Lovelyz and guessed her identity correctly from the beginning, panelist Yoon Sang fondly commented, âShe is good at singing.â
Sujeong shared, âThis year, I want to make songs that are like rice. I really like rice, and rice is a source of energy that you consistently eat even if itâs not a food that is particularly intense or memorable. So even if Lovelyzâs songs arenât intense, I want to make music that can be a source of refuge and rest, music you find yourself searching for, which is why I said I want to make rice-like music.â
Backstage, she added, âI believe that âThe King of Mask Singerâ was another way for me to grow as a singer. It was a special performance. I hope you receive many blessings in the new year, please support Lovelyz, and also look upon me fondly.â
The Lovelyz member also shared additional photos of her in her costume and mask through the groupâs social media accounts.
She also wrote a short message to fans, expressing, âKongji and Patjwiâ was Ryu Sujeong. I was really, really nervous, but I worked hard while thinking of the Lovelinus [Lovelyzâs fan club] who would enjoy it. How was it?! Iâm still emotional to the point of tears. It was a performance that Iâm very proud of and made me happy.â
âThe King of Mask Singerâ airs every Sunday at 4:50 p.m. KST.
