As Go Kyung-pyo revealed the appearance of 'generous Kyung-pyo' before the deposit, the custom ramen pop-up store that heated up social media was revealed to be fake on ‘Sixth Sense: City Tour.’

On the 13th, during the fifth episode of tvN’s ‘Sixth Sense: City Tour’ (directed by Jeong Cheol-min and Shin So-young), the cast knelt before the fake ramen pop-up store, which showcased the production team's full capabilities. The crew's passion shone once again as they collaborated with a large corporation to operate the pop-up store for two months.

The viewer ratings for the broadcast that day were 3.1% on average and 3.8% at its peak for homes in the metropolitan area, while the nationwide average was 2.7% with a peak of 3.3%. The target rating for tvN, which includes individuals aged 20 to 49, was 2.1% on average and 2.8% at its peak in the metropolitan area, while the nationwide average was 1.7% with a peak of 2.2%, ranking first across all channels in the same time slot for five consecutive weeks.

The members who entered the hot place bakery that opened early looked excited. From the photo zone decorated with numerous trees, Mimi showed signs of excitement. Moreover, the bread filled with peach pulp, the crunchy croissant baked by pressing down, and croissants topped with various fruits and cream attracted attention with their dazzling appearance and fragrant aroma.

Yoo Jae-suk said, “Just take one. In my 20s, I didn’t know about this and just piled it on. Words like blood sugar spike didn’t exist.” However, Mimi and Song Eun-yi exploded with excitement. However, Go Kyung-pyo remained unexcited. Yoo Jae-suk looked at Go Kyung-pyo and said, "He's currently on a diet," which caused Go Kyung-pyo to show a sad smile, unable to laugh or cry upon hearing this.

In particular, due to the program's nature, which cannot exclude eating shows, Go Kyung-pyo ate deep-fried food, pizza, ramen, and more throughout the day, revealing his bulging belly and surprising those around him.

A bulging belly could be seen breaking through the winter sweater, and Mimi made a shocked expression, saying, "He was definitely slim in the morning." Song Eun-yi noted, "Even if celebrities are a bit puffy in the morning, they slim down by the afternoon, but Kyung-pyo is the opposite,” while Go Kyung-pyo remarked, "This can be eliminated at any time." Known in the entertainment industry for '180-degree different before and after the deposit' and as the 'rubber band weight actor,' he showed confidence in dieting.

The fifth episode featured a tour with Hwasa and Nmix's Haewon, unfolding under the theme of ‘Anything Road,’ where anything could be customized as desired. The first hot place was a pizza shop where customers could create pizzas with toppings from ingredients they provided. When sales plummeted, the concept was boldly changed, and new recipes were uploaded daily on social media, transforming it into a custom hot spot.

Hwasa, observing the owner who made dishes effortlessly without surprise, even when shown the ingredients like jjajangmyeon, chocolate snacks, and mango brought by the cast, raised questions about whether it was real rather than fake, while the cast agreed that it was a good setting for making it fake. Go Kyung-pyo's opinion, suspecting the presence of a flame oven in the pizza shop, added credibility.

Next, the cast visited a frying house that uses ultrasonic frying sticks to fry anything, including fruits, bread, and marinated ribs, if requested by customers. Although they suspected the concept was merely applied to an existing frying house, the location within a grocery store allowed for the natural intent of frying ingredients bought on-site.

At the last hot place, a snack food shop was waiting with the ultimate customization surprise for the cast. A ramen pop-up store was operating, where they could choose noodles, soup, and toppings to their liking, and also package it as instant cup ramen with special equipment to decorate the containers with photos.

Everyone expected a pop-up store with exceptional scale and quality, but Mimi was puzzled by the fact that the pop-up began a month before filming. Although they did not yield even as the final selection time approached, their reasons for insisting were blunt, which made everyone laugh.

After a vote, the number one pizza place was chosen as a fake, and the result broke everyone's expectations, revealing that the ramen pop-up store was fake. To deceive the cast, a pop-up store had been opened for the first two months of ‘Sixth Sense.’ They revealed that they had fully prepared by successfully collaborating with a representative ramen corporation and exceptionally bringing in packaging sealing machines, which surprised everyone.

Moreover, the fact that an unprecedented number of teams, including the art team, set team, and food team, was involved in creating a realistic pop-up store left people speechless. Additionally, a large influencer and comedian Kim Min-kyung visited unexpectedly, adding to the promotional effect, leading to a clear and undeniable fake hot place. The production team's perfect victory over the blunt instincts of the cast provided a thrilling sensation to viewers.

Viewers are looking forward to the next moves of the cast, who have recorded three consecutive wins, as tvN’s ‘Sixth Sense: City Tour’ airs every Thursday at 8:40 p.m.
