Some netizens also claim the application process started last July and was closed at the end of December. There will be another screening process to get 100 participants for the actual filming. According to the rumor, the show is set to air in July 2019, after “Produce Camp 2019” (創造營2019) ends so the shows don’t clash. However, this is all speculation and hasn’t been officially confirmed by iQiyi yet.
