Youth MT: Concept, cast

The “MT” in Youth MT stands for “membership training”, which is a team-building tradition that university students in Korea partake in. It is mostly held by older students to welcome first-years. The activity is mostly held in nature settings such as mountains or beaches where participants play games and engage in various bonding activities.

The same concept is applied to Youth MT where the cast members hang out with each other like young university students.
