Hiện Trường Phần 2, Crime Scene Season 2

Crime Scene (Hangul: 크라임씬) is a Korean variety show featuring members Hong Jin Ho, Park Ji-yoon, NS Yoon-G, Jun Hyun-moo, Lim Bang-geul, and Kang Yong-suk as players in the first season. The first season consisted of 10 episodes and aired on JTBC from May 10 to July 12, 2014.

Hong Jin-ho and Park Ji-yoon returned for the second season along with new members Jang Jin, Jang Dong-min, and Hani. The second season began on April 1, 2015, and aired on Wednesdays at 11:00 PM.

The third season, Crime Scene 3, began airing on April 28, 2017, with a prequel episode airing a week prior. The program includes returning members Park Ji-yoon and Jang Jin, as well as new members Kim Ji-hoon, Yang Se-hyung, and Jung Eun-ji.

In the game, players (both regular cast members and guests) are introduced to a "crime scene," which is a replica of a murder scene set up on a stage. Their task is to identify the murderer.

Summary of the case: Upon discovering the crime scene, players are presented with a "case summary," which includes a summary of events leading up to the murder and a list of suspects with their profiles. Each player then chooses a suspect to role-play for the rest of the game. The players are provided with more detailed information about the suspect they are portraying, including their secrets, whereabouts during the crime, relationships with other suspects, and (in the case of the murderer) the weapon they may have used. The rest of the investigation is divided into various segments:

Introduction: Each player introduces themselves as the suspect they are portraying, providing some basic information about their relationship with the victim and their whereabouts before and during the crime. Other players are allowed to ask questions during this period, but the player currently speaking as their character is not obligated to answer.

On-site investigation: Each player is given ten minutes to investigate the crime scene for clues. To help players remember important details, each player is also provided with a camera to take up to ten photos. For the first two cases, this segment is run separately, but from the third case onwards, it is run in pairs.

5-minute summary or Free Talk: After the on-site investigation is completed, each player has five minutes to present any evidence or theories they have discovered. To aid in presenting their views, a whiteboard and markers are provided. They are also allowed to ask questions to other players regarding the evidence, with the clock not stopping for questions. Additionally, only players who have received a new case summary are allowed to ask any questions.

Final criminal purchase: Usually conducted after the Free Talk, each player secretly casts a vote for the person they believe is the criminal. The overall results are then revealed to most players for use in the subsequent discussion.

Free Talk: Players sit in a circle and are allowed to freely discuss the case to reach a consensus on the murderer. Players can only use the evidence collected so far and are not allowed to return to the crime scene during this segment. They are also given hints about the process of the segment to support their discussion.

Hints: Two additional leads pointing to the murderer are given to the players during the Free Talk. These hints can range from autopsy reports to personal belongings of the suspects to a CCTV footage from the day of the murder.

Additional on-site investigation: All players gather at the crime scene for further investigation and exchange of information. This segment usually involves players investigating areas they missed during the initial on-site investigation and exploring theories discussed during the Free Talk. This segment is conducted simultaneously with the 1-on-1 Interrogation.

1-on-1 Interrogation: At certain points during the additional on-site investigation, each player goes to the interrogation room and calls another player for a discussion. Once called, the player is summoned to leave the crime scene immediately and go to the interrogation room. When summoned, the player is given three minutes for any discussion they want to have. While it is usually expected that the three minutes be used to interrogate the summoned player, it has also been used for private collaboration. Players can be summoned multiple times and may thus lose valuable time that could have been used for further investigation at the crime scene.

Final criminal purchase: After all players have had their 1-on-1 Interrogation, the game proceeds to the final vote. At this point, any additional investigation is prohibited, although players are still free to discuss with each other. Each player then secretly casts a vote for the person they believe is the final criminal, and the results of these votes determine the outcome of the game.

After the final criminal vote, the player with the most votes is "arrested" and confined to a temporary prison, and the players who voted for that player receive a gold coin. If the arrested player is the criminal, all players who voted for them receive a gold coin. However, if the arrested player is not the criminal, the actual prisoner's name is revealed, and they receive the majority of the gold coins that the other players would have received.

In the second season, some minor changes were implemented in the format. One of the players is assigned the role of "detective" in all cases. The detective is always innocent and can be a reliable ally for the other players. Additionally, the detective is given two votes instead of one and is allowed to split them or vote for the same suspect twice. Finally, the detective is the only player who can request a 1-on-1 Interrogation.

The production prize has also been changed. Instead of a gold coin, each player receives ₩1,000,000 (approximately $1,000 USD) to guess the identity of the criminal (the detective receives double the amount if they use both of their votes for the same suspect). As in the first season, if the final prisoner is not arrested, the actual prisoner will take the majority of the winning money. At the end of the season, only the top three players can keep their earnings (all guests are considered one player for this purpose).

In the third season, the detective's assistant role is introduced. In addition to helping with providing hints to the actors, the assistant is also present in the Summary Board where players exchange evidence, and the detective can refer to his opinions before the first criminal vote. The role of the detective's assistant is played by actor Kim Min-kyu in the third season.

On-site investigation: Players are now allowed 15 minutes to survey the crime scene and search for evidence.
