Groups

In the "Love Call" at the project's beginning, a new group is formed if there is a "two-way call" between an initial group and an additional singer. After this part,

    - If there is still an unestablished group (because of "one-way call" or "no call" between them), they will be forced to become a new group with the remaining additional singer.
    - If there are still more than two groups, they have to re-group with the remaining additional singers in the "Last Call" just after that, with the same method as the "Love Call".

After the collaborative stages, the audiences will pick a team as "Best Couple" based on their performance. The audiences will also pick a "Team You Want to See Again" (only appeared in the first project) which will directly become a new group for the next project without having to participate in the "Last Call". Other singers have to participate in the "Last Call" to form the new groups for the next project.
