BTS’ Jin is making a highly anticipated return to the entertainment world, this time as a guest star on Netflix’s upcoming reality show, Kian’s Bizarre B&B. The streaming giant announced the news on Wednesday, revealing that Jin will join the popular webtoon artist and television personality Kian84 in this unique new venture, alongside actress Ji Ye Eun. The show is set to premiere in 2025, and while an exact release date has not yet been confirmed, the announcement has already generated significant excitement among fans.
Kian’s Bizarre B&B follows Kian84, whose real name is Kim Hee Min, as he runs an unconventional guesthouse on the scenic island of Ulleungdo. Known for his work on the hit webtoon Fashion King and his comedic appearances on shows like I Live Alone and Around the World While I Was Born, Kian84 has built a reputation for his offbeat humor and unique perspective. The addition of Jin to the cast promises to bring even more attention to the show, with fans eager to see how the BTS member will fare in this new role.

Netflix shared the news via its official social media accounts, hinting at the quirky dynamics viewers can expect. “When Jin and Ji Ye Eun are the ones serving you, it truly is a bizarre B&B,” the post teased, suggesting that the interactions between the cast members will be a major highlight of the show.
Actress Ji Ye Eun, known for her standout performances on SNL Korea and other variety shows like Running Man and Knowing Bros, is also set to bring her charm and wit to the series. Her inclusion in the cast further elevates the show’s appeal, blending Jin’s global K-pop fame with the established comedic talents of Kian84 and Ji Ye Eun.
Jin’s involvement in Kian’s Bizarre B&B marks another significant step in his post-military career. After completing his mandatory service earlier this year, Jin has wasted no time getting back into the spotlight. He recently launched his own variety show, Run Jin, which is available on the BANGTANTV YouTube channel. The show offers fans a closer look at Jin’s personality and adventures, further solidifying his status as a multifaceted entertainer.

His participation in Kian’s Bizarre B&B adds another layer to his growing list of projects, demonstrating his versatility and willingness to explore new genres within the entertainment industry.
Netflix’s statement regarding Jin’s participation was cautiously optimistic, emphasizing the need for safety during filming. “It’s true that BTS’s Jin and actress Ji Ye Eun will appear on the Netflix variety show. We cannot confirm filming dates for safety measures. We hope you understand,” the company said, acknowledging the high level of interest surrounding the project.
