I Can See Your Voice

I Can See Your Voice (abbreviated as ICSYV; Korean: 너의 목소리가 보여; RR: Neoui moksoriga boyeo; MR: Nŏŭi moksorika poyŏ) is an international television mystery music game show franchise that originated from the South Korean program of the same title,[2][3] which is created by producer Lee Seon-young.

In 2012, producer and creator Lee Seon-young initially planned to develop a singing reality competition show that includes "good singers".

[3] Also, she originally envisioned a program that will allow anyone to be the main character regardless of their appearances, inspired by Kim Bum-soo who struggled to gain recognition because of his look.

[5] I Can See Your Voice made its debut on Mnet and tvN on February 26, 2015, with host Kim Bum-soo as a guest artist, playing the game.

[8] Some lineup variations include: Throughout the game, mystery singers, contestants, and to lesser extent guest artists have given rewards such as prize money, trophy, or recording contract.

[8] Unlike reality singing competition shows such as Idol, Rising Star, The Voice and The X Factor, I Can See Your Voice is one of the game shows that are considered as a "stepping stone" for aspiring singers to perform effortlessly,[13] referring to as the "second coming of National Singing Contest" because of its sudden impact on their local music industry;[14] some featured participants include Hwang Chi-yeul,[15] Lee Sun-bin,[16] and Kim Min-kyu.

[17] In August 2015, CJ ENM accused two (locally unlicensed) programs, God of Songs by SZTV and X-Singer by Beijing TV, of plagiarism.
