The global entertainment service Netflix variety show ‘Kian’s Bizarre B&B' featuring Kian84, Jin, and Ji Ye-eun has begun its tumultuous guesthouse operations with ambitious aspirations.

‘Kian’s Bizarre B&B,' scheduled for global release on April 8, is an innovative variety show where Kian84, Jin, and Ji Ye-eun interact with guests at a guesthouse on Ulleungdo Island, flowing with Kian-inspired ideas. Although there are no expectations, the show promises to deliver delightful laughter and distinct entertainment with unpredictable ‘Kian-inspired’ joy for viewers.

The collaboration between producer Jeong Hyo-min, who pioneered the guesthouse variety genre through ‘Hyori’s Homestay,’ and Kian84, known for his raw honesty, has drawn attention for the unpredictable storylines that are sure to unfold. Most of all, the ‘rookie’ proprietor Kian84, the capable ‘jack-of-all-trades’ BTS member Jin, and the passionate youngest member Ji Ye-eun, who even obtained a boating license for the guesthouse, promise many amusing moments in their chaotic guesthouse operations. Viewers are eager to see the synergy of the ‘Kian84 family’ as they aim to create a romantic place full of whimsy that cannot be experienced anywhere else, bridging fantasy and chaos.

Meanwhile, the first stills released of the three individuals heighten expectations for the ‘Kian84 family’ embarking on their first-ever guesthouse operation. Kian84’s enthusiastic moments as he designs the guesthouse, containing everything he dreamt and imagined, catch the eye. The changes in the guesthouse, evolving through trial and error, are another point of interest. Kian84’s struggles to transform from a ‘rookie‘ proprietor without a plan into a ‘true’ proprietor stepping up for guests‘ cherished memories are also anticipated. Kian84 noted, ‘The things I imagined have been realized. I met many guests within that space. It feels like I came out of a strange dream,’ reflecting on his surreal experience of running the guesthouse for the first time. Producer Jeong Hyo-min shared, ‘While talking with writer Yoon Shin-hye, who worked on ‘Hyori’s Homestay,’ we imagined what it would have been like if Kian84 had been the proprietor of ‘Hyori’s Homestay.’ A guesthouse variety show inevitably exposes the proprietor’s lifestyle, thoughts, and philosophy, and I was convinced that Kian84 is a guest that viewers are curious about and want to know more about,’ adding anticipation for the birth of ‘Kian’s Bizarre B&B.’

It is also intriguing to see BTS member Jin fully immersed in the guesthouse. He excels not only in cooking, cleaning, and repairs but also serves as a strong mental support for Kian84. Jin is portrayed as the ‘macguyJin’ who can do anything. As the guesthouse diverges from expectations little by little, the unique charm of Jin, who is sincere and strives to enjoy his role to the fullest, draws much anticipation. Jin, who expressed that he has always been curious about Kian84, remarked, ‘The very fact that I can have new experiences is enjoyable,’ and added, ‘I approached it with the mindset of doing my best in everything I can. I tried to preserve the innate charm and purpose of the guesthouse,’ raising further curiosity.

The youngest member Ji Ye-eun, who has taken the helm of the guesthouse family, also captures attention. For the guesthouse with Ulleungdo’s vast ocean in the front yard, Ji Ye-eun even obtained a boating license. She is responsible for the transportation of guests and is a straightforward character who speaks her mind, but she infuses laughter and vitality into the setting with her quirky and slightly clumsy moments. Ji Ye-eun, who had great expectations about collaborating with the production team of ‘Hyori’s Homestay’ and Kian84, expressed, ‘I absolutely wanted to participate,’ saying, ‘I practiced hard every time I had time at the Han River and earned my license. I wanted to show off my impressive driving skills,’ demonstrating her exceptional enthusiasm.

Above all, the chemistry created by the three individuals, each with different charms, is the best viewing point of ‘Kian’s Bizarre B&B.' Kian84 expressed, ‘There were many moments when I felt the burden as the proprietor. During those times, Jin was there to keep my sanity, and Ji Ye-eun sincerely contributed in everything, even obtaining her boating license, so I was thankful.’ He continued, ‘The positions in the family are ‘squad leader Kian, instructor Seok-jin, and trainee Yae-eun,’ humorously explaining their roles and piquing curiosity. Jin remarked, ‘The staff was also chaotic. Looking back, it still left good memories,’ bringing anticipation for the delightful chemistry that the three are set to generate. Ji Ye-eun added, ‘Since we are really different, I think that’s where the chemistry was created. Please look forward to our ‘true’ sibling chemistry.’

For the meanwhile, the new concept guesthouse variety show ‘Kian’s Bizarre B&B,' oscillating between chaos and fantasy, will be available exclusively on Netflix starting April 8. A total of nine episodes will be released over three weeks from April 8, with three episodes debuting in the first week, followed by three episodes in the second and third weeks.
