Kian’s Bizarre B&B: BTS’ Jin, Kian84, and Ji Ye-eun Redefine the Guesthouse Variety Show on Netflix Korea

If you’re looking for a Netflix Korea variety show that breaks all the rules, Kian’s Bizarre B&B might be your next favorite binge. Blending celebrity charm, quirky imagination, and surreal set design, this original reality series brings together BTS’ Jin, beloved cartoonist Kian84, and SNL Korea star Ji Ye-eun for an unforgettable guesthouse experience — in the middle of the ocean.

A Guesthouse Like No Other

Set near the remote island of Ulleung-do, Kian’s Bizarre B&B takes the familiar “celebrity guesthouse” concept and flips it on its head. The guesthouse — imagined and sketched by Kian84 — features fantastical design elements like a rock-climbing entrance, cocoon-shaped tea rooms, and slide exits.

This is not just eye candy — it’s a fully built, functioning set brought to life by the production team, turning Kian84’s whimsical illustrations into a dreamlike reality.

From Hyori’s Homestay to Something Completely New

The show is directed by Jung Hyo-min, the mind behind Hyori’s Homestay, one of Korea’s most beloved reality series. According to Jung, Kian’s Bizarre B&B was born out of a long-time creative challenge: how to reinvent the guesthouse reality genre for modern audiences.

“We kept asking ourselves, how can we make a guesthouse show that feels fresh? It wasn’t until we considered Kian84 that everything started falling into place.”

Kian84’s eccentric personality — already beloved from his appearances on Korean variety shows — gave the project the unique flavor it needed.

BTS’ Jin Like You’ve Never Seen Him

A major highlight of the show is BTS Jin’s new variety role. While Jin has appeared in entertainment content before, Kian’s Bizarre B&B offers a more relaxed, personal look at his personality — something fans have long craved.

“When I saw Jin in previous shows, I felt like only a small part of his charm was coming through,” said producer Jung. “This format lets us show a different side of him.”

Together with Ji Ye-eun, who was handpicked by Kian84 for her comedic energy, the trio hosts a rotating cast of guests in this outlandishly cozy space.

A Visual Feast — Thanks to Kian84’s Mind

Behind the scenes, the show’s art direction plays a key role in its appeal. Inspired directly by Kian84’s artwork, the production team took on the ambitious task of building a set that feels more like a dream than reality.

“This is the kind of house a professional designer would never even think of,” said art director Lee So-min. “But we were excited to take on that challenge.”

The result is a one-of-a-kind backdrop that elevates every episode with visual wonder and a touch of fantasy.
