I Can See Your Voice (abbreviated as ICSYV; Korean: 너의 목소리가 보여; RR: Neoui moksoriga boyeo; MR: Nŏŭi moksorika poyŏ) is a South Korean television mystery music game show created by Lee Seon-young and produced by CJ ENM.[1] It first aired on Mnet and tvN on February 26, 2015.[2][3]

Gameplay

[edit]

Format

[edit]

Presented with a group of "mystery singers",[a] the guest artist(s) must attempt to eliminate bad singers from the group without ever hearing them sing, assisted by clues and a celebrity panel over the course of several rounds.[a] At the end of a game, the last remaining mystery singer is revealed as either good or bad by means of a duet between them and one of the guest artists.

The program has implemented two different game formats:

  • Original format
The guest artist(s) eliminate mystery singers at the end of each round, with the last remaining mystery singer ended up in a duet performance by one of the guest artists.
  • Star Wars format (s1 special)
Ten reinvited mystery singers are divided into two teams of five (with each of are represented by four good singers and one bad singer). In each round, a mystery singer is chosen by their team's panelists for a showdown. Afterward, voting is done through audience majority, and are accumulated for the winning team.

The winning mystery singer, regardless of being good or bad, gets a reward on the following conditions:

  • If the last remaining mystery singer is good, they are granted to release a digital single; if a singer is bad, they win ₩5,000,000.
  • In the Global Invasion special (of a fifth season), the winning mystery singer, regardless of being good or bad, receives a trophy.

Rounds

[edit]

Visual rounds

[edit]
  • s1–3, 9: The guest artist is given some time to observe and examine each mystery singer based on their appearance.
  • s1–2: A muted video of each mystery singer that reveals only 0.3 seconds of their singing voice is played as an additional hint.
  • s4–7: Each mystery singer is given two different identities as a good and bad singer, with one of them is a real identity.
  • s8: The host is given three "keywords" based on mystery singer's identity.
  • s10: The guest artist is given some time to observe and examine five out of six mystery singers, according to year of birth.

Introduction round

[edit]
  • s1: Each mystery singer self-introduces to guest artist and panelists. Good singers are telling the truth, while bad singers are allowed to lie.

Lip sync rounds

[edit]
  • s1–3: 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.
  • s4–5: A mystery singer and a substitute lip sync together in a single song, with one of them is an owner of that recording.
  • s6–7: The mystery singer lip syncs to the good singer's recording, then a bad singer's recording comes in the middle of the performance.
  • s8–9: Each mystery singer performs a lip sync on separate phases, with the good singer's recording first, and then the bad singer's last.
  • s10: Each mystery singer self-introduces to guest artist and panelists and then performs a song, both on lip sync renditions.

Interrogation rounds

[edit]
  • s1: The guest artist may ask questions to the remaining mystery singers. Good singers are required to give truthful responses, while the bad singers must lie.
  • s8: The guest artist must pick one of three given "keywords" to question one of the mystery singers after detailing additional information about them.
  • s9: Each mystery singer has to confess what kind of identity they have if the singer is bad.

Evidence rounds

[edit]
  • s1–3: 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 had their evidences fabricated.
  • s6–7: The hosts have randomly assigned clues about the mystery singer, and then the guest artist must choose a clue for each one.
  • s10: The guest artist is presented with a video package including witnesses reacting to one of the mystery singers when they hear on its own performance that would appear on the show.

Rehearsal round

[edit]
  • s4–5: 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.

Production

[edit]

In 2012, producer and creator Lee Seon-young planned to develop a singing reality competition show. Besides with initial genre that entirely includes "good singers", she added some unusual elements such as "bad singers", lip sync, and "guessing game" flairs (à la Identity), creating a unique format that would become the "mystery music game show" in the process.[8][9] Also, she originally envisioned a program that will allow anyone to be the main character regardless of their appearances, inspired by Kim Bum-soo who struggled to gain recognition because of his look.[10][11]

I Can See Your Voice was formally announced as part of Mnet's 20th anniversary programming lineup in January 2015,[12][1] with CJ ENM assigning on production duties, only to be later joined by Signal Entertainment Group for the third season.[13]

Broadcast history

[edit]

I Can See Your Voice debuted on February 26, 2015.[2][3] One week after first season finale, a Star Wars special was played on May 14, 2015, featuring re-invited mystery singers in a team-based showdown.[14] After that special, CJ ENM has already renewed the series for a second season,[15] which premiered on October 22, 2015.[16][17]

In March 2016, CJ ENM renewed the series for a third season,[18] which premiered on June 30, 2016;[19][20] this was also the last time Kim Bum-soo hosting the show, as Davichi played in its finale on September 15, 2016.[21]

In January 2017, CJ ENM renewed the series for a fourth season, with filming taking place at the in-house CJ ENM Studio Center in Ilsanseo-gu, Goyang;[22] it also announced Kim Jong-kook as the game show's new host,[23] when he first played as a guest artist in its premiere on March 2, 2017.[24][25]

In December 2017, CJ ENM renewed the series for a fifth season,[26] which began with Block B playing in a Global Invasion special on January 26, 2018 that featured mystery singers representing from local ICSYV counterparts,[27][28] continuing with regular episodes the following week.[29][30]

During a press conference prior to the fifth season premiere, host Leeteuk stated that I Can See Your Voice could possibly be renewed until the tenth season.[31][32] In December 2018, CJ ENM renewed the series for a sixth season,[33] which premiered on January 18, 2019.[34]

In December 2019, CJ ENM renewed the series for a seventh season,[35] which premiered on January 17, 2020.[36] At that time during the COVID-19 pandemic, the show has been produced since then until the ninth season, with health and safety protocols being implemented.[37] This pattern would be followed by an eighth season on January 29, 2021[38][39] and ninth season on January 29, 2022.[40][41]

In February 2023, CJ ENM renewed the series for a tenth season,[6] which premiered on March 22, 2023, breaking the period of "January seasons".[42][43] For the first time since sixth season, spectators are allowed on tapings.[7]

Since the tenth season finale, CJ ENM was in a current discussion whether the series should be revived with an 11th season, after a two-year hiatus.[44][45]

Since from fourth to sixth season, the postseason showcases are being aired one week after each season finale, in which includes mystery singer performance rankings for the past seasons, as well as an encore concert that featured some of invited guest artists and mystery singers returning to perform one last time.[46][47]

The series employs a panel of celebrity "detectives" who assist the guest artist(s) to identify good and bad mystery singers throughout the game.
