Gameplay

Format

Under the original format, the guest artist(s) can eliminate mystery singers after each round, and ended with the last remaining mystery singer depending on the outcome of a duet performance by themselves.[b]

If the singer is good, he/she will have release a digital single; if the singer is bad, he/she wins 5,000,000. For the Global Invasion special, the winning singer, regardless of being good or bad, receives a trophy.

Rounds

Each episode presents the guest artist with six people whose identities and singing voices are kept concealed until they are eliminated to perform on the "stage of truth" or remain in the end to perform the final duet.

  1. Visual round
    The guest artist is given some time to observe and examine each mystery singer based on their appearance.[b]
    Each mystery singer is given two different identitieas a good and bad singer, with one of them is a real identity.
  2. Lip sync round
    Each mystery singer performs a lip sync to a song; good singers mime to a recording of their own, while bad singers mime to a recording by someone else.[b]
    A mystery singer and a substitute lip sync together in a single song, with one of them is an owner of that recording.
  3. 1. Evidence round
    A proof of each mystery singer's singing ability (i.e. photo, video, certificates, etc.) is shown on the screen. Good singers have own evidences, while bad singers have their evidences fabricated.[b]
  4. 2. Rehearsal round
    Three random panelists are wearing headphones to listen to a recording of assigned mystery singer that lasts for 15 seconds. Afterward, the panelist defends the mystery singer and convince the guest artist to choose them as the winner.
