As MBC’s “The King of Mask Singer” celebrates its fifth anniversary, the judges of the American version of the show congratulated the original Korean program in a video!

“The King of Mask Singer” is a competition program that features celebrities singing while wearing masks to hide their identity. Judges and audience members vote on who will be crowned the next King of Mask Singer, and as part of the fun, everyone tries to guess who’s behind the masks.

In the video, Korean-American comedian and actor Ken Jeong says that if he could invite a Korean celebrity on to FOX’s “The Masked Singer,” he’d choose “Parasite” director Bong Joon Ho. “I love ‘The Masked Singer’!” he said, and added “I love you!” in Korean.

Nicole Scherzinger said, “If I could invite a Korean celebrity for ‘The Masked Singer,’ it would have to be Jimin from BTS. I wish I could say that in Korean!”

Jenny McCarthy and Robin Thicke also shared their congratulations and love for the show.
