SMI will be built on the site of the Dongrang Arts Center, formerly Seoul Institute of the Arts, located in Namsan, Jung District, Seoul.[6] SM and Jongro have been able to formulate Korean and foreign language education programs required for international celebrities.[7] The companies have also laid a foundation for developing educational programs from "outstanding" domestic and foreign educational institutions and companies on securing a place to educate specialized curriculums.[8] SMI provided academic programs to foster talent based on prevalent global cultures such as K-pop and K-culture and language instruction such as Korean, English, Chinese, and Japanese for domestic and international students.[9] ESteem also participates in the establishment and operation of SMI, specializing in models, entertainers, influencer management and fashion, beauty, lifestyle content, and actor academies.[10] In addition to the offline education curriculum, SMI provides services even in the untact era by incorporating adaptive learning technologies and content using advanced educational technology such as artificial intelligence (AI) and plans to export Korea's ed-tech solutions and content overseas.[11] Through the projects integrated with the curriculum, students are expected to acquire real-world and valuable experiences.[12] As a famous cultural artist demands to give up studies, Cho Jin-young noted that SMI provides customized learning scope and program that actively utilizes online learning to help students fulfill their goals.[13]
