The regional finals in Singapore will feature participants from Hong Kong SAR, Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam. This event provides Korean students with a platform for collaboration and idea exchange with peers across diverse cultures.

Since its inception, over 2,900 Korean students have participated in this competition. Previous years saw winners at the regional finals alongside partners in 2018, 2021, and 2023.
