On the latest episode of “The King of Mask Singer,” the identity of “Two Outs in the Ninth Inning” was revealed!

During the April 14 broadcast of the MBC singing competition, eight new contestants stepped up to challenge the reigning champion for the throne.

After watching their performance, several of the celebrity panelists guessed that Two Outs in the Ninth Inning might be an idol.

However, DRIPPIN’s Cha Jun Ho went even further, declaring that he thought he knew exactly who the masked singer was.

“It’s been a long time,” said Cha Jun Ho, revealing that he and Two Outs in the Ninth Inning knew each other. “We used to run into each other all the time, and our groups’ members know each other very well. As soon as he sang his first line, I thought of him immediately.”

Although Two Outs in the Ninth Inning charmed the audience with his vocals, he ultimately lost the round to his opponent Win After Win.

He then remained on stage to perform a soulful cover of 10cm’s famous hit “Stalker,” taking off his mask halfway through to reveal that he was CRAVITY’s Jungmo—who appeared on Mnet’s survival show “Produce X 101” together with Cha Jun ho back in 2019.

Jungho went on to surprise the audience by revealing that even though he debuted in 2020, his relatives didn’t know he was an idol.

“Before I started training to become an idol, my dream was to become a flight attendant,” explained Jungmo. “So my relatives expect me [to become one], which was a lot of pressure, so I didn’t tell them [I became an idol instead].”

“They think I’m a college student who just changes my hair color a lot,” he continued, before adding, “Some of them have gradually started to notice, though. Now, my grandmother knows.”

Finally, when asked about his goals for the future, Jungmo replied, “All of the veteran singers here have a hit song that you immediately think of when you hear their name. This year, I’d also like for CRAVITY to come out with a hit song that people immediately think of when they hear the name ‘CRAVITY.’”
