Changes and twists
This season, the show aired alongside the All Stars spinoff, however it is speculated the show was filmed immediately after the spin off. Sahvanha Rasputine hosts this season, replacing Tyra Banks from the season prior. Sin Il-hong also returns to her judging spot that she has retained since Season 10.
Twists
- Twin Twist: Anh and Thi, identical twins, were both given the opportunity to compete as a duo. They would attend photoshoots and challenges together, and be called together during panel. If they made it to the halfway point, they would then be allowed to compete individually.
- Comeback: Halfway through the season, the eliminated contestants competed in a challenge. The best performing girl would return to the competition.
Concepts
Prior to the season premiere, each contestant was promoted with a photoshoot aimed to fit her brand in modelling. A new photo was dropped every two days, and after about two weeks, a new finalist was revealed. This continued up until Thi and Anh, who were promoted as a duo. Afterwards, it returned back to the individual promotions.
