The overwhelming response from auditions across all four regions and online channels clearly reflects the enduring power of True AF in the hearts of audiences, including younger generations who still have dreams and seek opportunities to showcase their potential. More than 10,000 applicants participated, resulting in the final selection of 12 dream chasers.
