BTS’s Jin is set to make his highly anticipated return to the entertainment scene, joining the cast of Netflix's upcoming variety series, 'Kianjang's Great Chaos'. The show, which will air in 2025, has already generated significant buzz, thanks to its unique concept and star-studded lineup.
Kianjan -This is a blend of the name "Kian" (referring to the artist and TV personality Kian84) and "jang," which typically means "place" or "establishment." Here, it likely refers to the guesthouse or inn that Kian84 runs in the show.
Daehwajang Kianjang will take place on the picturesque Ulleungdo Island, where the popular figure Kian84, known for his candid and humorous personality from shows like I Live Alone and Around the World Since I Was Born, will run an unconventional guesthouse for young people. Jin, along with actress Ji Ye-eun, has been enlisted to assist Kian84 in managing this special guesthouse.
The trio’s collaboration is already raising expectations, as each brings their own distinct flair to the table. Jin, beloved by millions as the eldest member of BTS, has showcased his quick wit and charm in various content, including his own show Run Seok Jin and appearances on MBC’s It's Fortunately for You If You Get a Good Rest. His return to television following his military discharge in June has fans eagerly anticipating his dynamic interaction with Kian84 and Ji Ye-eun.
Ji Ye-eun, who gained popularity through her appearances on SNL Korea and Running Man, will add her unique energy to the show. Together with Jin and Kian84, she will help create a one-of-a-kind experience for the guests who visit the island.
Daehwajang Kianjang is produced by PD Jeong Hyo-min, known for his work on Hyori’s Inn, a show that redefined the guesthouse variety genre. With such a talented team both in front of and behind the camera, the show promises to offer a blend of humor, healing, and heartwarming interactions that will captivate viewers.
As fans wait for the premiere, the chemistry between the trio and the guests at the guesthouse is already a topic of excitement. The series aims to explore "Kian-style romance" in a setting where nature and human stories come together, making it one of the most anticipated shows of 2025.
