System
For the first time in the contests history, this edition included Heats, or Semi Finals. There were 4 Heats, each with 4 participants. 1 participant from each heat would qualify directly to the Grand Final, and two of them would go the the second chance round, "Andra Chansen". Four participants would qualify in Andra Chansen, leading to an 8 participant Grand Final.

Originally, when there were only planned to be 15 participants, the host, South Korea, would've automatically qualified. There would've been 4 heats, 3 of them having 3 participants, and one having 4. When Japan joined later than expected, it was decided to have no AQ's, and there would be 16 participants in the Heats.
