Sixth Sense: City Tour Scores Another Win Against Production Team

In the latest episode of tvN's Sixth Sense: City Tour (식스센스: 시티투어), which aired on April 3, 2025, the cast members, known as '식센이들', managed to narrow the score against the production team to 3-4 by successfully identifying hidden fakes in Incheon hot spots.

The episode garnered impressive viewership ratings, achieving an average of 3.1% and a peak of 4.2% in the Seoul metropolitan area, while nationwide ratings averaged 3.0% with a high of 3.9%. Among the target demographic of viewers aged 20-49, the show ranked first across all channels, including terrestrial broadcasts, with an average rating of 1.9% in the metropolitan area and 1.8% nationwide (data provided by Nielsen Korea).

The first hot spot featured a former inline skating national team member serving customers while skating to promote their parents' store. Hockey player 강기영 recognized the inline skater's skills, boosting credibility, but a mix-up regarding the mother’s birthday raised eyebrows. 하윤경 expressed suspicion over a neatly printed Wi-Fi account notice and scrutinized the lightweight padding worn by the skater's father.

The next hot spot showcased a video from the web entertainment show 또간집, along with a successful photo of 먹방 creator 히밥's giant dumpling soup challenge, piquing interest. 송은이 detected a hint of the production team's involvement when it was revealed that 풍자 had visited the location in September.

The cast's humorous misunderstandings provided comic relief. 미미 mistakenly thought there was no monitor in the background of 풍자’s video, while 고경표 speculated that 히밥's visit was for reasons other than the giant dumpling soup, despite the evidence being right in front of him. Notably, detective 유재석's serious tone led to a comical conclusion that had viewers laughing.

The final hot spot featured signature fried pig's trotters and a new dish, squid ink basil fried pork belly, along with spicy lobster trotters, which sparked curiosity. Here, 하윤경 candidly expressed disappointment, expecting a more impressive revelation from 유재석's tone. When she pointed out the absence of new menu items, 유재석 gleefully reminded her that he had mentioned it earlier, adding to their playful chemistry.

강기영 questioned the odd presence of lobster in the spicy lobster trotters and the unconventional cooking method. 유재석 humorously remarked that it would be strange to fry crustaceans again, to which 강기영 agreed, eliciting laughter.

In a game of rock-paper-scissors, 고경표 was forced to choose the giant dumpling soup, which many suspected was fake, but he ended up being correct. The restaurant had recently reopened after the owner recovered from an illness, and chef 김훈 drew inspiration from a viral giant dumpling idea on social media to create the giant dumpling soup.

The meticulous planning by the production team to deceive the cast was impressive, as it was revealed that the giant dumpling soup challenge board featuring 히밥's photo was also fake, along with the 또간집 video. Prior to filming the concept video for 또간집, 풍자 had questioned the production team's tactics but soon became fully engaged in the process, showcasing behind-the-scenes footage of their collaboration with the 또간집 team.

Additionally, the fake menu items introduced in Sixth Sense: City Tour, such as 충무로 ice cream tteokbokki, 수원 kimchi bomb chicken, and 부산 giant bread, have continued to gain popularity even after the broadcast, with actual sales reported, creating a heartwarming story.

The thrilling journey of uncovering fakes continues in tvN's Sixth Sense: City Tour, with the final episode set to air on April 10, 2025, at 8:40 PM.
