Mnet, the production team of "SMTM8," stated regarding the fairness of the judging, "We have always been fair and will continue to do our best.".

On the 26th, a production presentation for Mnet's "SHOW ME THE MONEY 8 (hereinafter referred to as SMTM8)" was held at the CJ EMM Center in Seoul.

The production presentation was attended by this season's producers Verbal Jint, Swings, GIRIBOY, BewhY, Kid Milli,

Millic, BOYCOLD, and from the production side, CP Choi Hyo-jin and PD Lee Young-ju.

Recently, Mnet has been threatened in its reputation as a "survival show expert" with the voting controversy surrounding "PRODUCE X101" as a prime example.

In response, PD Choi stated, "Since I joined 'SMTM,' it has been conducted fairly every season. This season will also be conducted fairly with our best efforts," he emphasized.

"SMTM" began in 2012 and is a long-running hip-hop survival program with a total of 50,000 applicants to date. Many rappers have risen to stardom through the show, and the songs released on the program consistently top the charts, showcasing the potential of K-HIPHOP.

"SHOW ME THE MONEY 8" will have its first broadcast today, the 26th, at 11 PM.
