Sixth Sense (South Korean TV program)

Sixth Sense () is a South Korean television program that aired on tvN, from September 3 to October 29, 2020, every Thursday at 20:40 (KST), and from June 25 to September 24, 2021, every Friday at 20:40 for its second season.

On December 27, 2021, it was announced that the third season will start filming in February 2022 with planned broadcast in the first half of 2022.

The third season was originally scheduled to air on March 11, 2022, but after producer-director (PD) Jeong Chul-min and cast members Lee Sang-yeob, Mijoo and Jessi tested positive for COVID-19 on February 23, the premiere date was postponed to March 18.

Overview

For Season 1, the cast members, together with a guest (known as the Sixth Man), visit three different places (or people). One of the three is entirely fabricated from scratch by the production team, and the cast members and the Sixth Man have to figure out which one is entirely fabricated, by using their "sixth senses" to analyze every detail of the three.

The correct voters will divide 6 gold persimmons among themselves as a prize, and the rest who did not vote for the correct one will pick one person among them to endure the punishment, which is to do the opening of the next episode without their eyebrows (if the Sixth Man is picked, they will post photos without eyebrows on their social media). If only one person guessed correctly, no gold persimmons would be given.

For Season 2, some changes have been made:

  • The correct voters will each get 1 gold persimmon.
  • The cast member(s) who have won the most episodes will get a big prize at the end of the season.
  • No punishment will be given.

For Season 3, major changes have been made:

  • The whole team (the cast members and the Sixth Man) will now decide which of the three choices is fake instead of voting individually. Beginning the second episode of the season, the cast members and the Sixth Man will be split into two teams.
  • There is a spy for each episode, which is either a cast member or the Sixth Man. The spy's task is to mislead the other cast members and/or the Sixth Man into picking the incorrect answer, having been informed of the fabricate by the production team prior to the filming of the episode. The cast and/or Sixth Man also has to predict who is the spy among them.
  • If the cast and/or Sixth Man picks the incorrect choice, the spy (and the production team) wins. The spy loses if the cast and/or Sixth Man picks the correct choice.
  • Lucky Balls have replaced the gold persimmon as the reward. Throughout the season, the cast members (and the Sixth Man) are given lucky balls labeled with their names if they win. These are then placed in a raffle machine which will randomly pick a winner (who will receive a big prize) at the end of the season.
  • The team that picks the fabricate (except the spy) each gets 1 Lucky Ball. Conversely, the spy wins 1 Lucky Ball per team if both teams do not select the fabricate.
  • The team (except the spy) each gets 1 additional Lucky Ball if the spy was correctly predicted. Conversely, the spy wins 1 additional Lucky Ball if the spy was not correctly predicted provided none of the teams guessed the fabricate.

Controversy

Sexual assault

On February 25, 2026, it was revealed that PD Jung Chul-min was indicted on charges for sexual assaulting an unnamed junior PD during the production of Sixth Sense City Tour 2. The victim explained that the incident happened in mid 2025, where she was sexually assaulted by PD Chul-min multiple times, despite refusing, but later got dismissed by him from the staff team on August 20, after PD Chul-min was aware that the incident was being reported by her. On December 2025, she tried to report the incident to the police, but the report was rejected by the police. She later immediately appealed her rejected report and contacted the agency. During the airing of Sixth Sense City Tour 2, CJ ENM was aware of the incident situation from the victim and proceeded to give disciplinary action to PD Jung Chul-min. On February 25, 2026, the victim's appeal was approved by the court, who later indicted PD Jung Chul-min with the sexual assault charge and will hold a court trial about the incident.
