Hi! SMTOWN@

'''Hi! SMTOWN@ ' was the title of the sequel to the long-running Korean variety show Hello! SMTOWN'', which it replaced starting April 9, 2018, on MBC Every1, in HD. The show stars SMTOWN members, who incarnate the roles of several different animals working under the rule of the young and mildly despotic King Baby (킹 베이비 king babi)—whose name derives from the Korean word for "baby" (아가)—ruler of the fictional Kingdom of Hi! SMTOWN. The final episode of the series aired on September 30, 2018.

Concept
Hi! SMTOWN@ marked a departure from its predecessor and related Hello! Project productions in that it was shot exclusively outdoors without being composed of a series of seemingly unconnected segments. In the first ten episodes, the show followed the form of a relatively cohesive narrative detailing the weekly accomplishment of a specific task, which generally consisted of the delivery of a given piece of hardware used in commerce and industry, on behalf of King Baby. Thereafter, the show's focus came to lay primarily on several distinct corners including Lying Queen (거짓말 QUEEN), Little King (꼬맹이 KING), Hit Jack (히트의 현장 JACK) and Child Gourmet Joker (어린이 음식 JOKER). SMTOWN soloists and group members are usually split into two groups who challenge other Korean celebrities to compete in a series of games, one or more for each of the aforementioned corners. As such, on 'Lying Queen', for example, four SMTOWN members face off against a celebrity artist in a game to determine which one of them is lying about a given subject (past gastronomic experiences, among others).

Segments
From the January 28, 2018 episode until the April 29, 2018 episode, Hi! SMTOWN@ had consisted of only a MouTube segment and occasionally a studio performance.

This segment features a young child or young children who have special talents. The children show their talents and often challenge SM Entertainment soloists and group members in the talent, with SM Entertainment soloists and group members being required to complete much simpler tasks. The winner of the challenge is rewarded with a gourmet dessert.

SM Entertainment soloists and group members and several guests are seated around a circular table upon which certain dishes are placed. The girls and guests must each take a certain amount of food, until it is all gone. Each person's plate is then weighted to meet a certain quota. If the weight does not land within the required amount, the food is taken from them.
