The difficulty in spotting differences between what’s real and fake is a necessary social issue that needs to be addressed. Need a word of advice? Don’t trust everything you see. 

tvN’s newly released variety show deals with this very idea, presenting false temptations to deviate the cast from discovering the truth.

Quick Intro to the Show

The Sixth Sense isn’t your typical variety show that simply features guests who compete in games and end by determining the winner or winning team. This program explores a new depth of a lighthearted mystery genre in entertainment. Visiting hot places and connecting with trending figures, the cast faces the task of finding the fake amongst the real. The variety show’s weekly challenges of identifying falsity works to stimulate the cast’s intuitive reasoning skills and ultimately refine their sixth sense.

The mastermind behind the creation of the fake is the production team and the crew’s passion is reflected in the various constructions of new sets built from scratch. The production crew pours a substantial amount of effort to create a seemingly-realistic institution or figure. Remodeling an empty house by breaking walls, adding new tiles, decorating with fine details––the team builds a solid background in order to produce an entire story (like, literally).

Take a look at the first episode, for example, featuring three restaurants with diverse menus. The process in finding the fake place proved to be quite difficult for the members because all three locations––even the fake ramen place––perfectly encompassed the atmosphere and look of an actual restaurant. Although they all seem legitimate, one of the three is always a trap created by the production team.

Meet the Cast of The Sixth Sense

Prior to its official airing, the show spread its name with the news of an interesting and refreshing combination of characters. The Sixth Sense hosts a cast of diverse characters, nurturing amazing chemistry between members and ultimately enhancing the group’s sense of teamwork in the process of detecting the fake. 

Starting off with the nation’s emcee, Yoo Jaesuk plays the role as one of the five hosts. An expert in the entertainment industry with years of experience, the comedian never fails to create chemistry with his fellow castmates and guests alike. The entertainer has been deceived in a number of schemes, but gained keen observation skills and swift reasoning to reach logical conclusions. Will his expertise help spark his intuition towards discovering what’s fake?

Actress Oh Nara is ready to show off her charms as the second member of the cast. Known for her skilled acting and especially memorable character from JTBC’s hit drama SKY Castle, Oh Nara captivates her fellow castmates as well as the viewers with her bright and sensible personality. Encompassing leadership and sharp senses, it is exciting to see where the actress’ instinct points to and whether or not it falls into the one-third probability of accuracy.

Popular for her unrivaled character in Running Man, actress Jeon Somin joins The Sixth Sense team as the third member. Her cheery personality brightens up the mood while her competitive spirit works as a source of motivation. The actress’ determination to avoid the fake and discover the truth adds a burst of energy to the investigation process, encouraging the crew to show off their sense of teamwork to achieve their ultimate goal. 

Artist Jessi is an energetic addition to the group of five. Displaying a cool attitude and iconic girl crush charms presented in her recent viral title “NUNU NANA,” Jessi’s unique and unpredictable personality is reflected in the outspoken conversations that she holds with other participants throughout the show. The Sixth Sense highlights the singer’s wild chemistry with cast members as well as her ability to differentiate the fake from the truth.

Lovelyz’s Mijoo, accompanied by her perky and lively spirit, fulfills the role as The Sixth Sense’s fifth member. Her dynamic and unfaltering animated spirit breathes liveliness into the atmosphere, creating excitement that helps to hype up the rest of the crew (although Yoo Jaesuk often has a hard time handling the female members’ high tension). Most importantly, Mijoo’s positivity and confidence boost her inductive investigative skills in determining the real apart from the fake.

Down to watch a lighthearted mystery show? Join the five members as they use their sixth sense on their journey to identify the fake amongst the true. Unlike any other show, The Sixth Sense presents a refreshing style of mystery on an entertainment platform. This distinct format engages viewers into the show and guides them with the members as they solve the challenging task every week. Testing the intuitive senses of the cast, The Sixth Sense aims to deliver emotions of enjoyment and thrill from the scene directly to the audience. With fake creations standing as obstacles and tempting the members into making the wrong decision, it is exciting to see what subjects will be featured in future episodes.
