On April 15, the press conference for the new Netflix variety show ‘Kian’s Bizarre B&B‘ took place at the JW Marriott in Jongno, Seoul.
The full cast gathered for the press conference ahead of its second week release and sat down to talk more about the show. Kian84, BTS’s Jin, Ji Ye Eun, producer Jung Myo Min, Lee So Min, and Hwang Yoon Seo attended the event.
‘Kian’s Bizarre B&B’ is a variety show following Kian84, BTS’s Jin, and Ji Ye Eun as they run a whimsical and unconventional Bed and Breakfast. Kian84 brings his odd quirks, bringing a mix of laughter, chaos, and unexpected moments. The program is helmed by ‘Hyori’s Bed & Breakfast’ director Jung Hyo Min and writer Yoon Shin Hye, known for pioneering the guesthouse variety genre.
The show quickly drew attention when it topped the Korea TOP 10 Series chart on Netflix on April 12, beating out other popular titles like ‘The 8 Show‘ and ‘Crash Course in Romance.’ Its rise to No. 1 among original content has raised expectations for its future performance in global rankings.
During the press, Jin revealed the reason he decided to join the cast for the Netflix show. He explained, “The reason why I chose to appear on ‘Kian’s Bizarre B&B’ is because before I was discharged from the military, Kian84 was appearing on my (YouTube) algorithm. I was genuinely curious about him as a person.”
He continued, “People may appear differently from what you see in the media and what you see in person. I was curious, ‘Does he actually live like that? If he does, I want to see him in person.’ When I first received the offer, just like Ji Ye Eun said, I didn’t expect ‘Kian’s B&B’ to be like ‘Hyori’s Bed and Breakfast.’ I knew there would be more. I was taken aback when there were more interesting moments, and I wanted to witness them in person. That’s why I decided to join.”
