The Time Hotel (ko|더 타임 호텔), also known as Time is Money, is a South Korean reality survival show that aired on TVING from its premiere on April 1 to May 16, 2023.[1]
The show is based in a hotel where ten contestants buy amenities with time instead of money, and contestants are "checked out" when they run out of time. Contestants compete in a variety of games to earn as much time as possible, forming impromptu teams and enemies alike.[2]
The last contestant remaining wins the grand prize of ₩300 million.[3]
