tvN variety show 'Sixth Sense' is returning for a new season.

A tvN representative told StarNews on the 23rd that "'Sixth Sense: City Tour' is being prepared under the title 'Sixth Sense: B-Side'."

The representative further explained, "'Sixth Sense' will move from its original Thursday time slot to Sunday to reach viewers. Adjustments to the program's format will be made to align with the Sunday broadcast schedule."

Changes have also occurred in the cast. tvN announced that Yoo Jae-suk, Song Eun-i, Ko Kyung-pyo, and Bibi will appear. Song Eun-i, who left in the previous season, is rejoining, and Bibi is joining in place of Mimi to form a new lineup.

The 'Sixth Sense' series is a variety show that searches for fakes while traveling to famous spots and trending topics that have taken over social networking services (SNS). PD Park Sang-eun serves as the main director, while PD Jung Cheol-min acts as the chief producer (CP) overseeing the program.

Among these, a controversy over workplace sexual harassment by the production team erupted during the broadcast of Season 2 last year. PD Jung Cheol-min is currently facing trial on charges of forcible molestation. He is accused of inappropriate physical contact, including putting his arm around junior production staff member A's shoulder and massaging the back of their neck at a dinner gathering in Sangam-dong, Mapo-gu, Seoul, in August last year.

Previously, he received a decision from the police not to prosecute in March, but after A filed an objection, supplementary investigation was conducted, resulting in an indictment without detention. The Prosecution Service determined that the molestation charge was valid based on CCTV footage submitted as evidence, which showed A pushing away PD Jung and moving away.

The legal battle continues. The second trial was held in private on the 26th of last month, and the next trial is scheduled for the 21st of next month.
