The first season of the South Korean television mystery music game show I Can See Your Voice premiered on Mnet and tvN on February 26, 2015. ^[1]

Gameplay

Format

For its game phase, the guest artist(s) must attempt to eliminate bad singers after each round. At the end of a 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. ^[a]

If the last remaining mystery singer is good, they are granted to release a digital single; if a singer is bad, they win ₩ 5,000,000.

Rounds

1. Visual round
   The guest artist is given some time to observe and examine each mystery singer based on their appearance. Afterward, a muted video of each mystery singer that reveals only 0.3 seconds of their singing voice is played as an additional hint.
2. Introduction round
   Each mystery singer self-introduces to guest artist and panelists. Good singers are telling the truth, while bad singers are allowed to lie. ^[a]
3. Lip sync round
   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 backing track by another vocalist.
4. 1. Interrogation round
   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. ^[a]
4. 2. Evidence round
   A proof of each mystery singer's singing ability (i.e. photo, video, certificates, etc.) is shown on the screen. Good singers have own evidences, while bad singers had their evidences fabricated. ^[a]
