Current Status Confirmed Through the Subtitle and Broadcast Timing

The subtitle for Season 6 is “The Listen: The Season We Stayed.” Alongside the subtitle, the cast list, filming period, and planned first-broadcast period have been disclosed. The first broadcast is scheduled for sometime in October 2026. Since this is a month-level schedule rather than a specific date, the currently confirmed broadcast timing extends only to the October window. Both the title and the article text should distinguish this as a planned period rather than a confirmed date.

Filming Planned for September, Broadcast for October… Music Releases to Follow the Show

Season 6 is scheduled to begin full-scale filming in September 2026. The first broadcast is then planned for sometime in October 2026, and the cast members’ individual solo tracks and group song are also scheduled for official release in line with the broadcast. The follow-up plans currently confirmed cover the timing of filming, broadcasting, and music releases; an exact first-broadcast date and airtime have not been provided.
