For what it’s worth, King of Mask Singer has even managed to nab some pretty high-caliber talent, so we might soon find that we’ve been listening to our favorite actors or pop stars all along.
The show is based on the South Korean competition King of Mask Singer, which began in 2015 and has already amassed 177 episodes, so, clearly the idea has managed to capture the hearts, minds and eyes of millions of viewers before.
In fact, even though The Masked Singer has just hit our shores, it would be fair to call the concept a worldwide hit, seeing as how it’s already been adapted for audiences in China, Indonesia, Thailand and Vietnam, and more than half a billion people around the globe have turned various versions of the show into a viral phenomenon.
