Netflix's variety show 'Kian’s Bizarre B&B' successfully held its early check-in production presentation.

Producers Jeong Hyo-min, Lee So-min, and Hwang Yun-seo of 'Kian’s Bizarre B&B' attended the early check-in production presentation held on the 8th, sharing various stories about the Netflix-style new concept B&B where Kian's imagination becomes reality.

'Kian’s Bizarre B&B' is an extraordinary new concept variety show where Kian84, Jin, and Ji Ye-eun engage with guests at a B&B full of Kian-style romance on Ulleungdo. Expectations are high for this new concept B&B 'Kianjang,' created by producer Jeong Hyo-min, who pioneered the B&B variety genre through 'Hyori's Bed and Breakfast,' alongside writer Yoon Shin-hye and the candid charm of Kian84.

Producer Jeong Hyo-min noted, "Kian84 opened a B&B for young people on Ulleungdo and operates it with staff Jin and Ji Ye-eun, experiencing a tumultuous growth journey," adding, "It's a reality show where there's nothing imagined and there are things unimaginable." Jeong also mentioned, "When imagining Kian84 as the host, the question of ‘Can he do it?’ arose," and explained the intent behind the planning, saying, "Kian84 is unique but responsible, so I thought it wouldn’t just end in bizarre scenarios, and in the end, everyone would be happy."

Kian84 designed a new concept B&B that is unprecedented, from the main hall, which floats on a barge over the sea, to the eerie atmosphere of the annex that requires riding a monorail and winding through mountain paths to reach.

The Kianjang designed by Kian84 captures the breathtaking scenery of Ulleungdo. The main hall offers views of Ulleungdo’s beautiful sea, while the annex provides encounters with the lush mountains of Ulleungdo and the unique monorail transport. Guests can also experience this extraordinary B&B, where they must climb to enter as there are no doors, and they can only eat by going up and down through a pole.

Producer Lee So-min said, "The most important thing was realizing Kian's imagination," adding, "The art director noted that this B&B is a house that experts could not even imagine, and bringing it to reality itself was a new challenge, and he happily participated."

Producer Jeong Hyo-min recalled, "Kian84 showed us the design he initially drew for Kianjang, claiming it was a five-star hotel," continuing, "At a five-star hotel, breakfast is provided, and there are gyms and pools, and Kianjang was said to be just like that. At that time, Jin and Ji Ye-eun had already been cast, and we thought if they found out early, they might not come, so we decided not to show them until the very end before filming," which drew laughter.

Producer Hwang Yun-seo emphasized that "above everything, safety was crucial," explaining that they set up various safety measures and conducted simulations until just before filming began, highlighting that safety was the most important consideration when designing the extraordinary B&B. The production team prepared for various scenarios.

Producer Lee So-min explained that "there are over 100 staff members, and even during sudden situations like moving from the main hall to the annex and vice versa, they installed cameras in advance and considered methods for filming, simulating the process," to illustrate the focus on enhancing the charm of the reality B&B variety show. Thanks to this, despite facing a typhoon and numerous variables just a week before filming, they were able to capture the unique charm of Kianjang while ensuring safe filming.

The irreplaceable host Kian84, versatile staff Jin, and the passionate young captain Ji Ye-eun will create delightful chemistry, making it a key highlight of 'Kian’s Bizarre B&B.'

Producer Jeong Hyo-min shared, "I wanted to invite cast members who would shine together with Kian84 while also having their own unique charms," explaining that they cast Jin, a global star with human charm, and Ji Ye-eun, who represents the MZ generation. Producer Hwang Yun-seo noted, "As the three cast members struggle to operate the B&B while caring for guests, they couldn’t fully enjoy tourism in Ulleungdo," anticipating that viewers would find it entertaining to see how they become 'real' siblings while comforting each other through the ups and downs.

There is also joy in witnessing the growth journey of the three siblings running the B&B. Producer Hwang Yun-seo recalled, "Kianjang has an entrance 3.8 meters high, and when the cast entered for the first time, it was a big problem as they couldn’t get in for several minutes," adding, "It’s the most inefficient house in the world, but as they gradually adapt, it changes to become more efficient, and I thought the trio and the guests are gradually merging together."

Producer Jeong Hyo-min mentioned, "Kian84 became the host welcoming guests to the house he designed, so he cared about whether they were sleeping well or were uncomfortable," stating, "I thought he would maintain the design, but it will be interesting to see how he adjusts the B&B for the guests in his style, different from Lee Hyori from 'Hyori's Bed and Breakfast.'"

Producer Lee So-min shared, "Kian84 created an amazing B&B with a tremendous imagination, and I was surprised to see him regret it immediately upon guests’ arrival, focusing on taking care of others instead," highlighting Kian84's unique sense of responsibility. Producer Jeong Hyo-min added, "I believe that challenge is youth, even if one faces trial and error," emphasizing that they welcomed guests who can think about youth in various meanings beyond age, and that their warm chemistry with the trio would be enjoyable.

Meanwhile, 'Kian’s Bizarre B&B' can be exclusively streamed on Netflix starting today (the 8th). A total of nine episodes will be released over three weeks, starting with three episodes in the first week, followed by three episodes each week thereafter.
