"I chose to resign for personal reasons," Settman writes in a text message to Kulturnyheterna.
Christer Björkman and Peter Settman attempted to launch a version of Eurovision in the United States, the American Song Contest, in 2022. The venture was described as a failure and the duo instead set their sights on Asia.
Together with Eurovision organiser EBU, they are producing the music competition in which ten Asian countries will participate, including South Korea, Vietnam and the Philippines, in Bangkok in November.
Peter Settman is leaving the venture and also his job as CEO of the production company Voxovation, but he will remain available as a consultant and owner, writes SVT.
