On the latest episode of “The King of Mask Singer,” the identity of “Teacup” was revealed!
During the May 11 broadcast of the MBC singing competition, eight new contestants stepped into the ring to challenge the reigning champion for the throne.
In the third match-up of Round 1, “Teacup” and “Teabag” faced off with a duet version of Girls’ Generation’s Taeyeon’s “Four Seasons.”

After watching their performance, Lovelyz’s Kei observed that Teacup seemed like a girl group member based on her gestures and the way she moved while singing. Kei specifically went on to guess that Teacup was a member of KISS OF LIFE, and Ko Young Bae enthusiastically agreed.
The celebrity panelists became even more convinced that Teacup was a KISS OF LIFE member after seeing her dance the choreography to BLACKPINK’s Lisa’s “MONEY.” Armed with this new information, Kei and Kim Gura both guessed that Teacup was KISS OF LIFE’s Natty.
Although Teacup earned praise for her singing, she ultimately lost the round to her opponent by a difference of just one vote.
Teacup then performed a cover of Baek Yerin’s “Maybe It’s Not Our Fault,” taking off her mask halfway through to reveal her identity—and sure enough, she turned out to be none other than Natty.
When host Kim Sung Joo pointed out that everyone had recognized her dancing, Natty remarked with a laugh that she had tried to hide her identity by wearing girlier and cuter clothing than usual, but that it clearly hadn’t been enough.
