New format but the beat continues

Pan thinks that the world of music is vast and diverse. "Trying to compartmentalize genres is merely giving them names, as music, at its core, is just music. I am exhilarated and thoroughly enjoying the chance to interact with such exceptional contestants and explore different types of music together," he says.

According to Jin, this season's panel of coaches is the youngest in the history of Sing! China.

The stage design is a highlight of the show. The production team made adjustments to the stage's size and height, as well as audience positioning, allowing the audience to better immerse themselves in the entire visual design.

Additionally, this year features the use of ultrawide screens, both elevated above the stage and at floor level, creating a visual effect reminiscent of a runway, making the stage appear more spacious and immersive.

"We hope the show will be the annual global musical carnival cherished by the Chinese community worldwide," Jin says.
