It's been said that the average time mobile users focus on a video is only 18 seconds. And thus, the program '18 Seconds' will have the members attempt to create an 18 second video with the most number of views in the world. It's a new type of variety program that involves the cast members actively using smartphones and apps.

Viewers can also take part in the challenge themselves by creating video clips and hashtagging #18s.
