Kian's Bizarre B&B대환장 기안장

Kian's Bizarre B&B (대환장 기안장) is a South Korean guesthouse variety show on Netflix in which webtoon artist and TV personality Kian84 (기안84) designs his own B&B and runs it with a small staff. It's made by producer Jung Hyo-min (정효민) and writer Yoon Shin-hye (윤신혜) of JTBC's Hyori's Bed and Breakfast, through Studio Modak. They said the starting question was what that show would have been like with Kian84 as host.12

Season 1 premiered on April 8, 2025 with nine episodes. Its main house sat on a barge on the sea off Ulleungdo: guests climbed a 3.8 m rock wall to get in, used poles between the floors and left by a slide into the sea. The staff were BTS's Jin, in his first variety show after military service, and actress Ji Ye-eun, who got a boat licence to ferry guests.23 Season 2 premiered on September 22, 2026 with ten episodes. It moved to a winter "Branch No. 2" in the mountains of Daegwallyeong, with Kim Yeon-koung, Lee Junho of 2PM and Kazuha of LE SSERAFIM as staff. Designs for a flying house and an insect house hung in a tree were rejected as impractical or legally difficult.34 DabPop's production feature lists both branches' features.

Season 1 spent two weeks in Netflix's global Top 10 for non-English TV, peaking at No. 6, and five weeks in South Korea's TV Top 10 in 2025, peaking at No. 2. Season 2 opened at No. 1 in South Korea, held it for two weeks and spent four weeks in its Top 10, but never entered the global non-English list.56789
