Hidden Singer is a popular music variety show that aired on jTBC from 2012 to 2015. The series features a panel of celebrity judges attempting to identify which one of six celebrity guest singers is the 'hidden singer' performing on stage. Along the way, viewers are treated to some amazing vocal performances and plenty of laughs as the judges try to figure out who's who.

Each episode of Hidden Singer features a different guest singer, who performs a number of their own hit songs as well as covers of other popular artists. Meanwhile, six other vocalists (known as 'doppelgangers') also perform on stage, pretending to be the guest singer. The panel of celebrity judges, which changes from episode to episode, has to guess which one of the six is the real singer.

The show is hosted by comedian Jun Hyun-moo, who keeps the energy level high and the audience laughing with his wit and charm. The judges are made up of famous actors, comedians, and other celebrities, who are tasked with using their knowledge of the guest singer's voice and performance style to identify the hidden singer.

The singers on the show are all top-notch performers in their own right, so the quality of the vocal performances is excellent. Viewers are treated to renditions of classic ballads, pop hits, and even rock songs, all with a unique twist as the singers put their own spin on the music. Some of the most memorable performances on the show have included Kim Bum-soo, who wowed the audience with his rendition of Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody," and Insooni, who belted out a powerful version of "Natural Woman" by Aretha Franklin.

The format of the show is simple but effective, as the judges try to eliminate one doppelganger at a time, based on clues and hints provided by the real singer. As the competition heats up, the tension in the room is palpable as the judges make their final guesses, hoping to be the one to correctly identify the hidden singer.

One of the most interesting aspects of the show is seeing how the doppelgangers try to imitate the real singer. Some use costumes and makeup to look more like the guest artist, while others focus on mimicking their vocal style and mannerisms. It can be difficult to tell the difference between the real singer and the doppelgangers, which adds to the excitement as the judges try to guess correctly.

Overall, Hidden Singer is a fun and entertaining show that showcases some of the best vocal talent in Korea. It's a combination of a music show and a guessing game, with the added bonus of plenty of laughs and exciting performances. Gun-mo Kim was a popular guest on the show, and his appearance helped to bring more attention to the series. If you're a fan of music, comedy, or game shows in general, Hidden Singer is definitely worth checking out.
