I Can See Your Voice (abbreviated as ICSYV; Korean: 너의 목소리가 보여; RR: Neoui moksoriga boyeo; MR: Nŏŭi moksorika poyŏ) is an international television mystery music game show franchise that originated from the South Korean program of the same name, [2] [3] which is created by producer Lee Seon-young.
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, [4] creating a unique format that would become the "mystery music game show" in the process. [3] 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. [5]
I Can See Your Voice made its debut on Mnet and tvN on February 26, 2015, with host Kim Bum-soo as a guest artist, playing the game. [1] Despite the poor reception in its first season, the show went on to become an instant success in South Korea, forcing to renew for a second season. [6]
I Can See Your Voice subsequently entered franchising [7] in June 2015, with Chinese broadcaster Jiangsu Broadcasting Corporation acquiring the rights for its first locally-licensed adaptation. [8] [9] CJ ENM recognized the program as their flagship format, as per news reports by MIPCOM in August 2021 and Prensario Internacional in June 2024. [10]
The game's original format is presented with a group of "mystery singers" identified only by their occupation, [a] 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. [11]
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 a main prize by correctly guessing whether the last remaining mystery singer is good or bad. [12]
In order to help the guest artist decipher mystery singers' identities, the game consists of five category rounds with varying mechanics.
The guest artist is given some time to observe and examine each mystery singer based on their appearance.
Each mystery singer performs a lip sync to a song; good singers mime to a recording of their own, 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.
Each mystery singer reveals an evidential piece. Good singers have own evidences, while bad singers had their evidences fabricated.
Each mystery singer demonstrates a pre-show rehearsal piece, but the voices of mystery singers are still concealed with the use of audio distorting.
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.
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, [13] which refers to the "second National Singing Contest" because of its sudden impact on their local music industry. [14] Notable participants include Hwang Chi-yeul, [15] Lee Sun-bin, [16] and Kim Min-kyu. [17]
In August 2015, CJ ENM accused two (locally unlicensed) programs, God of Songs by SZTV and X-Singer by Beijing TV, [18] of plagiarism. They have also implement on modified game mechanics, strikingly similar to the original format of I Can See Your Voice without having permission from the said company. [19]
During an interview with CJ ENM head of formats Diane Min in June 2020, she revealed that there was a dispute with Is That Really Your Voice?, another game show format by the Turkey-based Global Agency launched in 2013, in which I Can See Your Voice was accused as being plagiarized from their format. [20]
I Can See Your Voice was nominated for Best Non-Scripted Entertainment Program at the 44th International Emmy Awards, [21] Best Light Entertainment Program at the 2020 Venice TV Awards, [22] and a Studio Entertainment Award at the 2023 Rose d'Or. [23] [24]
