SM Entertainment and the production company Eggiscoming are collaborating in a special way through the very first solo reality program of SM’s male trainee team, SMTR25.
The growth-centered time-slip entertainment program, titled “Reply High School”, presented by SM Entertainment in partnership with Eggiscoming, features a total of 15 participants, including some SMTR25 trainees as well as previously unreleased trainees: NICHOLAS, KASSHO, JUSTIN, HYUNJUN, SONGHA, KACHIN, TATA, DANIEL, HARUTA, HAMIN, SADAHARU, CHARLIE, WOORIN, HANBI, and JAEWON. These young trainees enter the school in search of answers for their upcoming debut, are assigned to classes themed around the ’90s, ’00s, and ’10s, and experience the unique vibe and culture of each era through classes and school life, pursuing their journey toward the day when their dreams will come true.
In particular, SMTR25 is a multinational male trainee team under SM Entertainment, first revealed during the tribute stage for SM’s 30th anniversary at the “SMTOWN LIVE 2025” concert in Seoul last January. Since then, the group has also performed on the SMTOWN LIVE stages in Mexico City, Los Angeles, London, and Tokyo. They were introduced as the next-generation artists who will lead the future of K-pop in the SBS special program “K-POP The Beginning: SMTOWN 30”, generating massive excitement. Therefore, this new program is also expected to receive enthusiastic responses from fans worldwide.
This program, which takes viewers on a journey through the historical eras of K-culture, is directed by producer PD Shin Hyo-jung and writer Kim Daeju, the core production team behind hits like “Nana Minbak” and “Nana Tour”, ensuring high production quality. It is scheduled to air globally on a streaming platform during the first half of 2026.
