It airs on [[Munhwa Broadcasting Corporation|MBC]] on Sunday at 16:50, starting from April 5, 2015 <ref>{{cite web|last1=Won|first1=Ho-jung|title=Singing shows get a mysterious twist|url=http://kpopherald.koreaherald.com/view.php?ud=201504191742488867602_2|website=[[The Korea Herald|K-pop Herald]]|accessdate=2015-04-30|date=19 April 2015}}</ref> as a part of MBC's ''[[Sunday Night (South Korean TV series)|Sunday Night]]'' programming block, along with [[Real Men (TV series)|Real Men]], replacing ''[[Animals (TV series)|Animals]]''. ==Format== Competitors are given elaborate masks to wear in order to conceal their identity, thus removing factors such as popularity, career and age that could lead to prejudiced voting. In the first round, a pair of competitors sing the same song, while in the second and third rounds they each sing a solo song. After the First Generation, the winner of the Third Round goes on to challenge the Mask King, and is either eliminated or replaces the previous Mask King through live voting. The winners of each pair are selected by the audience and panel of judges through instant live votes. The names of contestants are not revealed unless they have been eliminated. The next generation is continued with a new set of masked singers who will all go through three rounds of elimination, with one finalist challenging the winner of the previous generation's Mask King. Idols such as [[Apink]]’s [[Eunji]], [[EXID]]’s [[Solji]], [[B1A4]]’s [[Sandeul]], former [[After School (band)|After School]] leader [[Kahi (singer)|Kahi]], [[BTOB]]’s [[Yook Sungjae]] [[TEEN TOP]]'s [[Chunji]], and perhaps most notably 1st and 2nd generation winner [[f(x) (band)|f(x)]]’s [[Luna (singer)|Luna]], also wowed the crowds with their impressive vocal abilities. Due to great interest and demand, the show released a special album consisting of a selection of studio recordings by the competitors. Despite great popularity, [[Luna (singer)|Luna]]'s performances were not included, as her company [[SM Entertainment]] reportedly had other plans.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.soompi.com/2015/05/29/king-of-mask-singer-explains-why-luna-will-not-partake-in-shows-special-album/|website=[[Soompi]]|accessdate=2015-06-24|date=29 May 2015}}</ref> ==Panel of Judges== ;Fixed *[[Kim Gu-ra]] (MC and comedian) *Kim Hyun-seok (music producer) *[[Ji Sang-ryeol]] (host) *Kim Sang Yeol (composer) *[[Son Dong-woon]] (idol) *[[Lee Yun Seok]] (host) *[[Yoon Il-Sang]] (composer) *[[Sandeul]] (idol) ;Guest *[[Baek Ji-young]] (singer) *Hwang Suk Jeong (actress) *Don Spike (composer) *[[K.Will]] (singer) *[[Shin Jimin]] (idol) *[[Hong Eun-hee]] (actress) *[[Verbal Jint]] (rapper, producer) *[[NC.A]] (singer) Fuk This Sh1t Nigger ==Competitors== :{{colorbox|lightpink}} – Contestant is instantly eliminated by live audience and judge panel :{{colorbox|palegreen}} – Contestant advances to the next round :{{colorbox|lightskyblue}} – Contestant becomes the challenger :{{colorbox|#FFD700}} - Mask King The names listed below are in performance order.
