The Korean title translates from King Of Masked Singer and has been airing since 2015. You can find it streaming on KOCOWA!

And in case you didn't know something else, Ryan Reynolds (read: Canada's Sweetheart) visited the Masked Singer stage back in 2018 while promoting Deadpool 2 in South Korea.

Recently, while promoting his upcoming musical holiday film Spirited on The Today Show, Ryan opened up about his experience with being a contestant on King Of Masked Singer and the troubles he faced during that production.

You may be asking yourself— why did Ryan Reynolds feel the need to promote Deadpool 2 on a singing show? And to that, I say... well it's Ryan Reynolds.

He told The Today Show, "I’ve been doing this job a long time, and when you go on these international tours you start to say, ‘What’s the weirdest show we can go on?'”

“This was before The Masked Singer was in the US. So they said, they have this show called [King of] Mask Singer, which is huge in South Korea. I said, ‘Lord, we’re doing this show. We have to do that show.'”

Unfortunately, though, Ryan has now revealed that he was "in actual hell" during his time on the show.

Turning to his Spirited co-stars while explaining, Ryan said, "When I was there, I was like, why did I sign up to do this? This is horrible! This is truly horrible! I don’t even know this song, I don’t know how to do this. It was traumatic.”

It's safe to assume that seeing Ryan Reynolds on another singing competition show isn't going to happen in the near future... but one can dream. At least, we can hope to run into him at a hockey game though!
