Rafael Dropulić, the winner of Story Supernova, went on to win the first season of reality series Farma in 2008.[5] Valentina Gyerek went on to compete in The Voice Hrvatska in 2016.[6] Other contestants that remained well-known in music include Natali Dizdar, Nera Stipičević, and Ivana Radovniković.[7]

RTL went on to air its own version of Idol: Star Search Croatia ran from 2009 to 2011, and Superstar premiered in 2023.
