According to Chen Di, iQIYI's vice-president and the show's executive producer, the casting team only handpicked singers aged between 20 and 25.

"Being young means that they boast infinite potential," Chen said when asked how the show can compete with other music competition shows featuring established singers.

Sing! Asia aims to unite the most promising young talents in Asia, providing them with opportunities to showcase their skills in competition and thrive together, Chen added.

The executive producer also revealed that despite manifold challenges of filming on the sea, the stage created on the deck not only brings all singers an unprecedented experience but also ensures a level playing field for all participants.
