While producer Jeong Chul-min, who directed the tvN entertainment "Six Sense" series, completely denied the allegations of forced harassment by his juniors, the victim confronted him tightly, saying, "There is no agreement."

On the morning of the 14th, the Seoul Western District Court's Criminal Chamber 4 (Chief Judge Kim Soo-kyung) held its first hearing on the alleged forced harassment of producer Jeong Chul-min of tvN's "Six Sense." The trial said, "It is judged that it is not correct to disclose the media because it is a sex crime case. The decision by the court to conduct a closed hearing was made to be closed to the public, and the reporters who were in the audience were forced to leave the court.

After the trial, PD Jeong's legal representative told the crowded reporters, "I completely denied the allegations." He then declined to say, "Since the trial is underway, I have no other position to tell you."

When asked why he applied for a public participation trial, he replied, "It's normal." This was opposed to the victim, and the court dismissed it.

Lee Eun-eui, a lawyer for A's legal representative, said, "PD Jeong admitted to the fact of physical contact, but insisted that there was no intention of harassment, and that he did not face each other."

He then said, "I objected to the application for a public participation trial. In fact, jurors who are selected for the public participation trial go to trial without seeing the data properly. You will see it through the same process as PPT on the day. As a result, there are many points of concern as a lawyer because of the accumulated experience of the effect of predicting victims. There is a concern that it will put pressure on the victim and act in a direction favorable to the perpetrator," he pointed out.

In particular, lawyer Lee Eun-eui said, "Body contact and harassment are different in nature, and it is classic perpetrator logic that this is justified," adding, "Victim A has no intention of agreeing." It is a position to seek severe punishment and prison sentences for the perpetrators to the court," he said.

Producer Jeong is accused of making unwanted physical contact with victim A, who participated in directing a number of entertainment programs such as "Six Sense." Mr. A claimed, "In August 2025, while waiting on the street to move to the third dinner party, PD Jeong Chul-min approached and made physical contact, such as rubbing his shoulders, forearms, and neck."

On December 31 last year, the police decided not to send A to "no charges," saying that A's physical contact was acknowledged, but there was insufficient evidence to prove the intent of the harassment. However, the Seoul Western District Prosecutors' Office overturned the police's decision not to send the case in February this year. In the end, after complementary investigations, A was indicted without detention. After A's objection, the prosecution judged that A was found guilty of harassment based on the scene in which A pushed PD Jeong and avoided his seat in a closed-circuit (CC) TV video, and handed it over to trial.

The next trial date is 4:30 p.m. on May 26.
