Former Beast member Jang Hyun Seung captivated viewers with an irresistible vocal talent.

During the MBC entertainment program 'Dmasked Singer,' which aired at 6:05 p.m. on the 20th, the identity of the masked singer Pretzel, who enthralled not only the venue but also viewers at home with an unparalleled soprano, was revealed to be Jang Hyun Seung, generating excitement.

In the first round broadcast on the 13th, Jang Hyun Seung performed Kim Hyun Chul's 'Why Are You Doing This' as a duet with masked singer Tart and political scientist Kim Ji Yoon. His trendy tone and Unick vibration captivated the audience, earning him an overwhelming victory of 85 to 14.

In the subsequent second round, Jang Hyun Seung faced off against masked singer Flower Bouquet and perfectly delivered Yoo Jae Ha's 'The Image Reflected in My Heart.' His performance added an R&B soul to the emotional original, leaving a deep impression and establishing a legendary stage that transcended a simple reinterpretation with Pretzel's unique flair.

Jang Hyun Seung's technical yet sophisticated vocals received praise from the judging panel. Ailee exclaimed, "It was as if singing she was casting a spell saying, 'Get lost in my charm,'" while Yoo Young Seok noted, "Pretzel's song made me want to listen again. It was a stage that blended the purity of white milk with caffeine and carbonation to create a special flavor."

When the mask was removed and his identity was revealed, the venue was filled with surprise at Jang Hyun Seung's unexpected appearance. He left a strong impression with a decadent concept, stating, "On stage, I have a heavy makeup and a strong image, but I often hear that it's different from reality," revealing a contrasting charm.

Revealing that it was his first broadcast in 9 years, Jang Hyun Seung shared, "Since I have no interests other than music, my broadcasting activities have been rare," and added, "I want to be active two to three times more in the future as I have rested for a long time," expressing his honest feelings. Yoo Young Seok responded, "You need to be ten times better than now," adding, "I hope you perform a lot and let more people know your unique vocals."

Jang Hyun Seung plans to release his new song 'Orbit' on the 29th through various music platforms and begin his active engagements.
