Chain Letter then revealed himself to be B.A.P’s lead vocalist Youngjae! After taking off his mask, he introduced himself by saying, “I’m Youngjae, who recently came back as a solo artist.” He then remarked, “When I was in a group, there were people who helped me produce music, but now I have to do it completely alone.”

The singer also had the audience laughing when he revealed, “I have a habit of biting my fingernails, but I thought that if I said this on air, I’d be able to fix it. So viewers, if you see me biting my nails, please give me a smack on the back of my head.”

He later commented, “I think I’ll be able to become a [lucky] letter for fans through the broadcast.” He then expressed his determination to further showcase various sides of himself, starting from his appearance on “The King of Mask Singer.”

Youngjae previously appeared on the singing competition in 2017 and sang Taeyang’s “I Need a Girl.”
