I Can See Your Voice (abbreviated as ICSYV) (Korean: 너의 목소리가 보여; RR: Neoui moksoriga boyeo; MR: Nŏŭi moksorika poyŏ)[3] is an international television mystery music game show franchise based on the South Korean program of the same name.[4]

Background

In 2012, producer and creator Lee Seon-young initially planned to develop a singing reality competition show that includes "good singers". She would unusually add elements with "bad singers", lip sync, and "guessing game" flairs,[5] creating a unique format that would become the "mystery music game show" in the process.[4] Also, she originally envisioned a program that will allow anyone to be the main character regardless of their appearances, inspired by Kim Bum-soo who struggled to gain recognition because of his look.[6]

I Can See Your Voice made its debut broadcast, simulcasting on Mnet and tvN on February 26, 2015, with the first official episode was a demonstration of the game played by host Kim Bum-soo as a guest artist.[1] Despite the poor reception in its first season, the show went to become an instant success in South Korea, forcing to renew for a second season.[7]

The unique format subsequently enters franchising and was sold to different countries and territories, with CJ ENM as its main distributor.[2][8]

Gameplay

Format

The game's original format is presented with a group of "mystery singers" identified only by their occupation,[lower-alpha 1] a guest artist must attempt to eliminate bad singers from the group without ever hearing them sing, assisted by clues and a celebrity panel over the course of several rounds. At the end of the game, the last remaining mystery singer is revealed as either good or bad by means of a duet between them and one of the guest artists.[9]

If an ordinary person (as the role of "eliminator") is included, the contestant must eliminate one mystery singer at the end of each round, receiving a petty cash if they eliminate a bad singer. At the end of the game, the contestant may either end the game and keep the money they had won in previous rounds, or risk it for a chance to win the jackpot prize by correctly guessing whether the last remaining mystery singer is good or bad.[10]

Rounds

In order to help the guest artist decipher mystery singers' identities, the game consists of five category rounds with varying mechanics.

Visual round

The guest artist is given some time to observe and examine each mystery singer based on their appearance.

  • In the "multiple choices" variation, each mystery singer shows two different identities as a good and bad singer, with one of them is a real identity.

Lip sync round

Each mystery singer performs a lip sync to a song. Good singers mime to a recording of their own performance, while bad singers mime to a recording by someone else.

Optionally, the Golden Mic can be used during the game, in which they may hear additional clues and observations from a celebrity guest off-stage.

  • In the "showdown" and "batch" variations, a pair or batch of mystery singers perform a lip sync of their own to one song each.

Evidence round

Each mystery singer reveals an evidential piece. Good singers have own evidences, while bad singers had their evidences fabricated.

  • In the "problem solving" variation, the host has randomly assigned clues about the mystery singer and the guest artist must choose a clue for each one.
  • In the "video clip" variation, each assigned mystery singer is presented with a video package that discusses their life and musical qualifications, or by the witnesses reacting when they hear on its own performance that would appear on the show.

Rehearsal round

Each mystery singer demonstrates a pre-show rehearsal piece, but the voices of mystery singers are still concealed such as audio distorting techniques.

  • In the "hearing test" variation, the random panelists are wearing headphones to listen to a recording of assigned mystery singer that lasts of a limited duration.
  • In the "studio session" variation, it is presented with a video from a recording session assigned by the mystery singer, but pitch-shifted to obscure their actual vocals.

Interrogation round

The guest artist may ask questions to the remaining mystery singers. Good singers are required to give truthful responses, while the bad singers must lie.

  • In the "confession" variation, each mystery singer has a story of what kind of identity they have if the singer is bad, which is true to make everyone believe they can't sing.

Reception

Legacy

Unlike reality singing competition shows such as Idol, Rising Star, The Voice and X Factor, I Can See Your Voice is one of the game shows that considered as a "stepping stone" for aspiring singers to perform effortlessly,[11] referring to as the "second National Singing Contest" because of its sudden impact on their local music industry.[12] Notable successful participants include Hwang Chi-yeul,[13] Lee Sun-bin,[14] and Kim Min-kyu.[15]

Controversies

In August 2015, CJ ENM accused two (locally unlicensed) programs, God of Songs by SZTV and X-Singer by Beijing TV, for plagiarism.[16] They have also implemented on modified game mechanics, strikingly similar to the original format of I Can See Your Voice without having permission from the said company.[17] Recently in June 2015, Jiangsu Broadcasting Corporation formally acquired the rights to produce its first locally-licensed counterpart of the said show.[8]

During an interview with CJ ENM head of formats Diane Min in June 2020, it was revealed that there was a dispute with Is That Really Your Voice?, another game show format by the Turkey-based Global Agency in 2013, in which I Can See Your Voice was accused as being plagiarized from their format.[18]

Accolades

I Can See Your Voice was nominated for Best Non-Scripted Entertainment Program category at the 44th International Emmy Awards,[19] and Best Light Entertainment Program category at the 2020 Venice TV Awards.[20]
