Source-derived summary

I Can See Your Voice (Korean: 너의 목소리가 보여) is a South Korean television mystery music game show created by Lee Seon-young and produced by CJ ENM, featuring its format where guest artist(s) attempt to eliminate bad singers from the group, until the last mystery singer remains for a duet performance. It first aired on Mnet and tvN on February 26, 2015.

Gameplay

Format

Over the course of several rounds, the guest artist(s) must attempt to eliminate bad singers from a group of "mystery singers", identified only by their occupation or alias, without ever hearing them perform live. They are assisted by clues regarding the singers' backgrounds, style of performance, and observations from a celebrity panel. 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 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 its fifth season), the winning mystery singer, regardless of being good or bad, receives a trophy.
