A surprising revelation on the popular Korean variety show “Six Sense: City Tour 2” has become a hot topic, as entertainer Yoo JaeSuk humorously asserted his industry seniority over his long-time colleague, Ji SeokJin. The comedic exchange, which aired on the November 27, 2025, episode of the tvN program, shed light on the unique professional hierarchy between the two stars, who are known for their close yet competitive friendship.
A Surprising Seniority Reveal on ‘Sixth Sense’
The friendly banter began while the cast was traveling in Mapo-gu. Ji SeokJin attempted to advise junior cast members on how to “handle” ambitious colleagues, making a pointed reference to Yoo JaeSuk. He lamented that he should have established dominance over Yoo JaeSuk early in their careers. However, Yoo JaeSuk quickly turned the tables with a fact from their shared history.
He revealed that despite being younger, he was actually Ji SeokJin’s senior, or “seonbae,” in the entertainment industry. This unexpected claim caught the other cast members, including Ko KyungPyo and Gugudan Mimi, by surprise, setting the stage for a hilarious explanation.
The KBS Comedian Hierarchy Explained
Yoo JaeSuk elaborated on their professional origins at the Korean Broadcasting System (KBS). He explained that he debuted as a 7th generation KBS Public Recruit Comedian. In contrast, Ji SeokJin, who is older in age, debuted later as a 10th generation KBS Special Recruit Comedian. This difference in their recruitment class established Yoo JaeSuk as the senior in the strict hierarchy of the comedy world at the time, a fact that added a new layer of comedy to their dynamic.
Yoo JaeSuk’s Hilarious “Ttong-gungi” Threat
Taking the joke further, Yoo JaeSuk invoked the concept of “ttong-gungi,” a term referring to the harsh, military-style discipline that was once common among senior entertainers. He jokingly stated that 20 years ago, his senior status would have allowed him to subject Ji SeokJin to punishments like the “eopdeuryeo ppeotcheo,” a strenuous push-up position punishment.
This Korean variety show moment highlighted the stark contrast between past industry culture and today’s more relaxed environment. The notion of the now-veteran entertainer Ji SeokJin facing such a punishment from his junior in age, Yoo JaeSuk, sent the cast into a fit of laughter.
Cast Reactions and Comedic Chemistry
The revelation and subsequent jokes were met with great amusement from everyone present. Cast member Gugudan Mimi found the mental image of a nearly 60-year-old Ji SeokJin being disciplined by Yoo JaeSuk particularly hilarious. The episode’s guests, comedians Kim WonHoon and Um JiYoon, also enjoyed the witty exchange. The moment perfectly encapsulated the beloved chemistry of the “Mungtukz” members—Yoo JaeSuk, Ji SeokJin, Ko KyungPyo, and Gugudan Mimi—and demonstrated why their interactions are a key draw for viewers of “Six Sense: City Tour 2.”
