“I Can See Your Voice,” a mystery music show originally by CJ ENM, is a world-travelling format where guests need to guess whether contestants are good singers or bad singers, just depending on their looks. The original creator, Seon-young Lee, came up with the notion in 2012, filmed the first season in 2014 and the show premiered in February of 2015 in Korea.
