Korea's Next Top Model

''Korea's Next Top Model'' (abbreviated as KNTM; also known as ''Do-jeon! Supermodel Korea'' (도전! 수퍼모델 코리아; en, Challenge! Supermodel Korea) is a South Korean reality television show in which a number of women compete for the title of ''Korea's Next Top Model'' and a chance to start their career in the modelling industry. The prize also includes a feature in W Magazine Korea and a contract for SK-II.

As part of the ''Top Model'' franchise, it is based on the hit American TV show ''America's Next Top Model'', and it shares the same format. On 6 January 2010 it was announced that Korean channel Onstyle would begin production of a Korean version of the model search show. Model Jang Yoon-ju would helm the judging panel as the host of the show.

Plans for a male-exclusive spin off began in 2014 before a 5th regular installment was aired, but the idea was put on hold. It was subsequently revealed that cycle 5 of the series would be a co-ed edition featuring male contestants.

Premise

The series features a group of young contestants, who live together in a house for several months while taking part in challenges, photo shoots and meetings with members of the modeling industry. Normally, one or more poor-performing contestants are eliminated each week until the last contestant remaining is crowned "Korea's Next Top Model" and receives a modeling contract for representation and other prizes. In early cycles, the female height requirement was set at tall, but was later raised to or taller when male contestants were introduced to the show. The male height requirement is or taller.
