tvN‘s ‘Sixth Sense: City Tour’ has been unveiled.
In the first episode of ‘Sixth Sense: City Tour’ that aired on the 13th, Yoo Jae-suk, Song Eun-i, Go Kyung-pyo, and Mimi’s activities in search of fake hot places in Jung-gu, Seoul brought laughter.
The viewership ratings for the broadcast that day recorded an average of 2.9% and a peak of 4.1% in the metropolitan area, and an average of 2.9% and a peak of 3.8% nationwide. The viewership ratings for men and women in their 20s and 49s, which are tvN‘s target audience, recorded an average of 2.0% and a peak of 2.9% in the metropolitan area, and an average of 1.7% and a peak of 2.4% nationwide, respectively.

‘Sixth Sense’ veteran Yoo Jae-suk and new faces Song Eun-i, Go Kyung-pyo, and Mimi visited three hot places run by a CEO who is serious about butter, ice cream, and Korea, and observed the overall atmosphere of the stores, asked in-depth questions, and looked at them with suspicion. However, once they started eating the butter pork belly, ice cream tteokbokki, and alcohol and snacks with Korean ingredients, they were instantly absorbed in the taste and made everyone laugh.
In addition, the tiki-taka between Yoo Jae-suk and Song Eun-i, who are classmates at Seoul Institute of the Arts and have been friends for 30 years, doubled the fun. From the two reminiscing about their college days and having a lively conversation to Yoo Jae-suk not missing Song Eun-i’s passing word mistake and Song Eun-i being able to discern Yoo Jae-suk‘s reactions, their great chemistry was felt in every bickering scene.
Go Kyung-pyo and Mimi showed off their unique silly charm and eccentricity, making Yoo Jae-suk smile as ‘entertainment gems’. In particular, the two entered a hot Korean place themed around a speakeasy bar and mistook it for a new place.
‘Sixth Sense: City Tour’ is a team competition, not an individual competition, where they have to decide on one correct answer. The six-sense members, who are not very assertive, decided to follow Go Kyung-pyo’s opinion through the most blunt method, rock-paper-scissors. Here, Go Kyung-pyo initially pointed out the Ice Cream Hot Place as fake, then changed his mind to Butter Hot Place, but when the Ice Cream Hot Place was revealed to be fake, the members exploded in anger.
Above all, the process of working with Chef Kim Hoon, who boasts the longest tenure, largest staff, and annual sales of over 10 billion won, to deceive the Sik-sen members and viewers was revealed, drawing admiration. He met with store owners who were having trouble with business and taught them recipes, registered menus on portal sites, and even created promotional content. It was a 100-day limited mirage project with small business owners and the ‘Sixth Sense: City Tour’ that started with a fake menu and led to real customers.
Song Eun-i was surprised by the scale that surpassed imagination, saying, “It’s creepy, a little touching, touching, and complicated,” and Mimi couldn’t hide her surprise, saying, “You’re going to rule over even everyday life?” In addition, Mimi, who was randomly selected as the penalty performer for not guessing the correct answer, uploaded a cringe-worthy emotional message on SNS.
