Structure of auditions There are usually two stages in the audition process. The first round is the casting round, and they sing in front of the executive producers, and more are eliminated. In the second round, those who survive the first stage sing in front of the judges, and this is the audition shown on television. Those who gain at least three "yes" votes from the four judges then receive a golden ticket to Golden Week.
Golden Week It featured three rounds: Round 1, Group Round, and Solo Round. In the first round, each contestant sang individually, and after they sang, they gathered in a line. Those who impressed the judges advanced to the next round, where the contestants performed in groups of four or five, singing a song together. The remaining auditionees who passed the group rounds performed their final solos to advance in the Green Mile.
