-this must have been how it sounded like. ✨✨✨
If this did not blow you away and send you to a place of serenity, I don’t know what on earth will. Four minutes and seventeen seconds worth of molten gold.
And tag yourself, I’m the woman @ 03:15 watching him belting it out with sparkling eyes and mouth covered. She’s struck it lucky to be witnessing this magnificent performance. Meanwhile, I am here bitter and wondering how she’s been doing, ’cause if I was in her place, I would have far and away evaporated into thin air.
For those of you who feel out of loop, the show is called King of Mask Singer. A variety-singing program where eight singers will be given aliases and singing with their faces entirely covered up with masks. They compete one-on-one through three elimination rounds, until one comes out as the winner based on live votes by audience and a panel of celebrities in the studio, then later goes up against the reigning ‘Mask King’ over the title on and on.
On Sunday, October 18, the whole Super Junior international fandom lost shit over Korean fans’ suspicion of Kyuhyun’s participation in KOMS. The preview of its next episode showed a male contestant whose body and voice are similar with those of his. Making it any more convincing, said contestant sang a ballad song, which is known as Kyuhyun thing. Dressing up like a Sherlock Holmes comical rip-off, the suspected guy used this lame af alias: ‘Detective Cough.’ LOL
A week later, the actual episode aired. He killed it on stage as per usual, but song-wise, (dare I say it?) it was a snooze fest.
Those who saw his stage confirmed that he was Kyuhyun, collectively going, “lol yea dead serious that’s him.”
Everything about the lad screamed Cho Kyuhyun since the moment he walked in, despite him being fully clothed. That’s what years of experience in this eagle-eyed fandom got you (remember the legendary faucet photo?).
Our detective had to kiss goodbye after round two, which many said was contributed by his weak song. It’s a pity he had to bow out early on, but fans has predicted he wouldn’t be there for too long for he’s nuts busy.
Since he got ousted, he wasn’t supposed to sing anymore. Before leaving, he gave his last speech. How Gura had advised him to partake in KOMS and how he went along with it since his main goal was to prove that Super Junior is not a mere variety group they’ve been perceived as for years. They are not comedians. These thirty year olds can sing, and like, even three of them are applauded by many to be the best in their field.
Well, Kyuhyun is. I don’t make the rules.
Kyuhyun’s sneaky ass knows best how to make those voters regret their worst life choice of letting him leave this soon. He said it was unfortunate (of him getting trounced), since he’s prepared a grand song for round three. R&B and ballad singer Park Hyoshin’s hit, “Wild Flower.” This led to audience and panelists’ regret and guilt. Mwahaha.
Kim Gura came through in shining armor and insisted he went through with the original plan, ’cause they’re thirsty and needy like that. The famously sharp-tongued man begged the show’s production team to cut off his ments for sparing Kyuhyun more screentime to singand bless our ears (video embedded above). Not all heroes wear cape.I’m not saying that he is the best male idol singer in Kpop technique wise,but that’s exactly what I’m saying.
Trivia: Kim Gura immediately recognized Kyuhyun as ‘Detective Cough’ after seeing his rock-hard thighs. LMFAO
