Congratulations to them all! Why only three countries vying for top honors in an ASEAN contest? Or were the other countries eliminated earlier?

I think since this is the first IKON to be organized, three countries were all they could cobble together for now. ;p

The IKON eliminations for each country were held one after the other, and each took a couple of months -- the Philippines came last, hence the very very short gap in-between our finals and the ASEAN finals. Which I assume means the IKON people don't have the manpower or organization yet to hold simultaneous eliminations in multiple countries.

Someone told me that Singapore didn't join because all of their top musical talent is, um, imported. But that is probably a baseless rumor.
