The show was aired starting from January 2010 to April 2010 every Tuesday night on KBS's Joy satellite/cable TV channel for 12 episodes. Each episode focused on the members of Shinee, the South Korean boyband, taking care of toddler Yoogeun as "dads" and completing tasks on baby care. The last episode aired in which the Shinee members gave Yoogeun a time capsule as a present after three months together that he is to open when he turns 20. A special was also aired. This is the second season of Hello Baby, the first being Girls' Generation's Hello Baby, which starred South Korean girl group Girls' Generation as "moms" to a male toddler. The preceding season was aired between mid to late 2009, only months before. This season followed a similar general concept of Girls' Generation's Hello Baby.

[edit]Concept

The Shinee dads took care of a baby boy named Jung Yoogeun. He is 5 years old (in Korean years) and was born October 25, 2007. Hello Baby works like a reality series following Shinee and Yoogeun's time together, watching how they would interact with and raise a child. Situations came up like Yoogeun getting upset and crying over something and Shinee had to figure out ways to calm him down and fix the problem. They also regularly made meals for him, bought him clothes and toys, played with him, taught him new words and manners, and even made video messages for him when they were away from Korea.
