'Hidden Singer 8' perfectly reproduced the voice of the late Turtle Man of the band Turtle.

In the first round of JTBC's variety program 'Hidden Singer 8,' broadcast on the 19th, the band Turtle's hit song 'Bingo' was assigned as the mission song, officially kicking off the competition.

As soon as the singing began, the judges' panel and audience started buzzing. The voices of the imitators emerging from behind the curtain all matched the late Turtle Man's original vocal tone perfectly.

During the performance, conversations erupted among the celebrity judges: "They're all the same," "This doesn't make sense," and "What is this?" Even the cameras tasked with capturing the stage seemed lost and flustered.

Kim Bi, a member of Turtle, could not stop saying, "This is no joke. It's exactly the same." Both Ji-i and Kim Bi were left speechless, staring blankly at the stage.

After the first round concluded, MC Jeon Hyun-moo remarked, "I've hosted 'Hidden Singer' for 14 years, and this is the most difficult yet. It's unprecedented," acknowledging the unprecedented level of vocal synchronization.

However, the true twist was revealed after the first-round elimination was announced. Surprisingly, the original singer's voice — that of the late Turtle Man — was not included in the first-round stage.

Jeon Hyun-moo then announced, "For the first time in a tribute special, there was no original singer in the first round," leaving everyone stunned.

He continued, "This shows just how many talented imitators there are. The production team found it difficult to include only five imitators, so they specially added a sixth contestant this time."
