I Can See Your Voice (abbreviated as ICSYV; Korean: 너의 목소리가 보여; RR: Neoui moksoriga boyeo; MR: Nŏŭi moksorika poyŏ) is a South Korean television mystery music game show series.[1] It aired on Mnet and tvN from February 26, 2015[2][3] to May 10, 2023, for 10 seasons.
Gameplay
[edit]Format
[edit]Presented with a group of "mystery singers"[a] identified only by their occupation, 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.[a] 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.
The original program has two different game formats:
- Original format
- Under the original format, the guest artists can eliminate one or two mystery singers in each round, and the last mystery singer standing will perform a duet.
- Star Wars format (s1 special only)
- Ten former mystery singers were separated into two teams. For each round, a mystery singer is chosen for a showdown. Afterward, voting is done through audience majority, and the votes are accumulated for the winning team.
A winning mystery singer is rewarded on following conditions:
- If the singer is good, he/she will have release a digital single; if the singer is bad, he/she wins ₩5,000,000.
- In the Global Invasion special (of a fifth season), the winning singer, regardless of being good or bad, receives a trophy.

Background
[edit]Creation
[edit]In 2012, producer and creator Lee Seon-young planned to develop a singing reality competition show. Besides with initial genre that entirely includes "good singers", she added some unusual elements such as "bad singers", lip sync, and "guessing game" flairs (à la Identity), creating a unique format that would become the "mystery music game show" in the process.[8][9] 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.[10][11]
Production and development
[edit]I Can See Your Voice was formally announced as part of the programming lineup for Mnet's 20th founding anniversary in January 2015.[12][1] The game show is originally produced by CJ ENM, which would later join co-production duties by the Signal Entertainment Group.[13] According to a presscon for its sixth season, I Can See Your Voice refers to the "second National Singing Contest" because of its sudden impact on their local music industry.[14][15]
Filming
[edit]Filming of the show took place at various locations, such as in-house CJ ENM studios in Ilsanseo-gu, Goyang and Mapo-gu, Seoul.[16] During the COVID-19 pandemic, it has filmed under implementing health and safety protocols since from seventh to ninth season.[17] Spectators are now allowed on filmings for the tenth season.[7]
Broadcast history
[edit]2015–2016: Yoo Se-yoon, Leeteuk, and Kim Bum-soo era

I Can See Your Voice made its debut broadcast on February 26, 2015.[2][3] Despite the poor reception in its first season, the series was forced to renew for a second season[19] that premiered on October 22, 2015.[20][21] In the third season having premiered on June 30, 2016,[22][23] Kim Bum-soo hosted for the last time, with Davichi playing at the finale on September 15, 2016.[24]

[edit]In a span of seven seasons with 89 episodes, Kim Jong-kook became the new host,[25][a] while Lee Sang-min, Cha Tae-hyun, and Hyojung (of Oh My Girl) also appointed as interim hosts.[a]
The fifth season began airing regular episodes on February 2, 2018.[32][33] It is followed by four consecutive seasons that premiered the same month — sixth season (with Hwang Chi-yeul and Lee Sun-bin) on January 18, 2019,[34][35] seventh season (with Park Joong-hoon) on January 17, 2020,[36][37] eighth season (with Rain) on January 29, 2021,[38][39] and ninth season (with Eun Ji-won (of Sechs Kies), Kim Jong-min, Tiger JK, and Jang Su-won) on January 29, 2022.[40][41] A tenth season began airing on March 22, 2023, breaking the pattern of "January seasons".[42][43]

After each season finale, the Postseason Showcases featured mystery singers returning to perform one last time, as well as rankings on mystery singers' performances for the previous seasons.[48][49][50][51]
