Preliminary rounds take place in selected countries, and national winners receive an all-expenses-paid trip to Korea to represent their country in the final round. The final is filmed at the KBS studios in Seoul and broadcast on KBS World for some 200 million people in 88 countries around the world. In the U.S. regional preliminaries, the top three finalists received prizes including a Galaxy Watch, a Samsung Bluetooth speaker, and Galaxy Buds.
