They’re also prepping a special performance segment exclusive to the finale, adding to the buzz. Insiders say the contenders are bringing fierce energy to get one step closer to their dream.

DAYOUNG, BE'O and WEi will further turn up the heat with celebratory sets featuring their hit songs.

Marking its 31st edition, this year’s contest aims to discover top-tier “model-tainers” who can thrive across global fashion and entertainment. With no restrictions on nationality or experience, the lineup is more diverse than ever, featuring students, active idols, trot singers, actors, former athletes, DJs, instrumentalists, polyglots fluent in four languages, and international contestants from Germany and Senegal.

The 2025 Supermodel Contest is planned and produced by SBS Medianet in partnership with Lacoste, Cosball, CLounge, Twol Partners, Lucia and Dauning, and will air on SBS, SBS Life, SBS funE and SBS Plus.
