Series overview

Following the success of American Idol and other IDOL series, Shwe Thanlwin created a Myanmar version of the series with identical formats and methods. Broadcast on Myanmar Network TV on Sky Net, it grew to be more popular than Dream Encounters (အိပ်မက်ဆုံရာ) and Melody World, which were once the most popular singing competition series in Myanmar.

Since then, various combinations of 3 to 4 judges, including Tin Zar Maw, Myo Kyawt Myaing, Myanmar Pyi Thein Tan, Yan Aung, Aung Ko Latt, and Phyu Phyu Kyaw Thein, have served in the judge panel. The show has been hosted by Kyaw Htet Aung since Season 1.
