This season featured fifteen contestants among its final cast. This season marked the first time in the Top Model franchise where a previously eliminated finalist (Ko Eun-bi from season 2) was allowed to become a regular season finalist once again. It was also the first time a deaf contestant, Seo Young-chae, appeared on the show. The international destinations for the series were Phuket and Las Vegas.[2]

The prizes for this season included: A cash prize of 100,000,000 South Korean won, a cover shoot and editorial in W Magazine Korea, a modelling contract with YGKPlus and a modelling contract with NEXT Model Management in New York.

The winner of the competition was 18-year-old Shin Hyun-ji who became one of the most successful contestants from the Top Model Franchise. Runner Up Jung Ho-yeon also achieved a successful career after the series.
