Also known as 'Show Me The Money', SMTM is South Korea's first and only rap competition broadcasted on national television. SMTM is brought to you by MNET, which is a South Korean pay television music channel owned by CJ E&M.
Many consider SMTM to be why hip-hop has become as popular as it has in Korea. Hip-hop in Korea was almost unseen and unnoticed up until the first season of SMTM aired in 2012.
In SMTM, rappers are judged based on their skill by four pairs of judges (Note: Judges are eight of South Korea's most prominent K-Hip-Hop rappers, singers, and or producers.)
Rappers are to be eliminated each episode by failing or passing difficult challenges presented to them that help show the judges who has the talent and stamina to be the winner. The winner walks away with anywhere from 100,000 - 200,000 USD.
SMTM is currently hosted by Kim Jin Pyo and has seven seasons in its collection. Winners are as listed below.
S01: Loco of AOMG
S02: Soul Dive
S03: Bobby of IKON
