"SHOW ME THE MONEY" is a hip-hop audition program that began broadcasting in 2012 and is often abbreviated as "SMTM". Anyone from the general public to celebrities can participate in the program, and there are 1st qualifier, 2nd qualifier, 3rd qualifier, Official Song mission, diss battle, and the final round, and there are two semi-finals and finals, and the road to victory is tremendous. long. The scoring and grouping methods are different for each season, so even though this is the 11th program this year, you can watch it fresh every time.
As judges, 8 active music producers and rappers form a team or group of 2 people each time to judge the participants.
Now, let's introduce the K-POP idols who participated in SMTM.
The most famous idols who participated in SMTM are BOBBY, a member of the Korean boy group iKON, and MINO, a member of the Korean boy group WINNER.
BOBBY participated in SMTM season 3 and won the championship. MINO participated in SMTM season 4 and won the second place. He was criticized by ordinary people who wanted to become rappers, saying, "Why are idols on this show?" Because of their good performance in this program, it became a trend to be recognized as "idol rappers". Furthermore, in last year's broadcast "SMTM10", MINO participated as a producer team and became a Hot Topic.
However, BOBBY and MINO are probably the only ones who have achieved the best results in the current SMTM10. The event that idol rappers participated in the most was "SMTM4" in which MINO participated.
RAVI, a member of the Korean boy group "VIXX", was eliminated in the second round, while Vernon of the Korean boy group "SEVENTEEN" was eliminated in the third round. Vernon participated in less than a month after debuting as SEVENTEEN. Jooheon, a member of the Korean boy group "MONSTA X", also participated and passed the second qualifying round, but was eliminated after that.
In "SMTM9", Changbin, a member of the Korean boy group "Stray Kids", and Wooseok, a member of the Korean boy group "PENTAGON", participated.
And in last year's SMTM10, members CASTLE J and WIN of the Korean boy group "MCND" passed the first qualifying round, but were eliminated in the second round.
This month, "SMTM11" will start broadcasting from October 21st, and the participants are also attracting attention. I haven't heard about idols participating, but the producer team has provided songs to composers who have provided songs to BLACKPINK and BIGBANG, singers CHUNGHA and RAVI, and member Una of the Korean girl group "VIVIZ". The songwriting team is on standby.
Looking at the broadcast, it seems that the result of being eliminated was a good experience for them, but it seems that the barrier to passing the second round is still high, and there are few idol rappers who can jump over it and climb to the final round. What kind of 'SMTM' will we see this year?
