SM has ventured out lately. First with the GPP girlgroup in Japan. Now in Vietnam. There is an intense survival show. 

Who affiliated with SM are involved in this ?
Jang Jin Young (SM Vocal Director)
Mystic Story (SM’s sub company)
Hyuk Shin (EXO and NCT producer)
Auspicious Dance Crew (NCT, Suju, EXO dance teachers and choreographer) 

- Jang Jin Young brought SM former trainees like Park Sumin to train 11 young men (19-26) in an ongoing survival show on Youtube called Tan Binh Toan Nang. They have been training these trainees intensely for awhile and three trainees have reached C+ tier. One C. One D+. It is fascinating to see the SM vocal training sessions behind the scene. One example is the crunch belly singing method. 
- Hyuk Shin is the talent development director of this project and produces songs like Take a Shot or Exposure. It is crazy how Take a Shot melody sounds like NCT dream and the baseball choreo reminisces EXO Love me Right. Plus, Exposure sounds like aespa “Whiplash.” 
- Mystic Story sends ARrC to perform with these trainees. 
- Auspicious makes dance and trains them. Some of the moved in Da Den Luc are clearly inspired by EXO Monster and Exposure resembles Boom boom bass chorus leg moves. 

If you want to catch a glimpse of what SM rigorously does behind the scene. Look up Tan Binh Toan Nang. There are two seasons PJ 100% and the current one.
