Voting
The voting consisted in the South Korean jury votes and the public votes. The South Korean jury's votes influenced the results only at 25%, while the remaining 75% was determined by the public votes.

These groups were weighted equally against each other: for the quarter-finals, each group's vote would carry a score of 3, 2, and 1; for the semi-finals and the final, each group gave one point to the most popular entry of each duel.
