Asian Drama

A music entertainment program where Hwasa and musicians fill the night with deep stories and music.

From newcomers to rappers already loved by many fans, all gather to compete against each other in order to pick the best Hip hop entertainer. The one that receives the most votes from the audience takes it all.

The concept of the show is to select a group of promising rappers from open auditions and whittle down that number down through various assignments, with contestant survival dependent on the "producers," a group of experienced rappers who also serve as mentors. Eventually the rappers are divided into small teams headed by those producers. From there each contestant will face a different team's rapper in head-to-head single-elimination rounds where survival in the competition is dependent on votes from a live studio audience. In the third season, there was also a "Revival Round" in which contestants previously eliminated had a chance to continue in the competition.

“Show Me the Money 9” plans to showcase a new system of competition, as well as the usual diverse lineup of talented producers. The biggest difference in the new season will be the final prize. The winner of “SMTM9” will receive the title of “Young Boss” as the new protagonist of the Korean hip hop scene. Along with the prize money given in previous seasons, the winner will receive a considerable investment in their music production, from album production, concerts, marketing, and other business ventures.
