Kian84, Jin, and Ji Ye-eun’s ‘Daehwanchang Kianjang’ has successfully opened.As the title suggests, the stories of ‘Daehwanchang’ are unfolding, and the explosive response from viewers is continuing.Among them, Kian84, ‘employees’ Jin, and Ji Ye-eun revealed their honest feelings while operating Kianjang.They also asked for anticipation for ‘Daehwanchang Kianjang’ that will be revealed in the future.

On the morning of the 15th, a press conference for the Netflix entertainment show ‘Daehwajang Gianjang’ was held at the JW Marriott Dongdaemun Square Grand Ballroom in Jongno-gu, Seoul.Gian84, Jin, Ji Ye-eun, PD Jeong Hyo-min, PD Lee So-min, and PD Hwang Yoon-seo attended the press conference that day.

On this day, PD Jeong Hyo-min said about the response to ‘Daehwajang Gianjang’, “There are so many fun dramas on Netflix these days.In fact, I thought that variety shows, especially the Korean reality variety genre, wouldn’t be easy to receive love on Netflix.I thought it wouldn’t be easy to get first place, but I’m glad that we got first place with a Korean variety show.I think it feels even better because there are many reviews saying that the three of them are fun together.”



PD Hwang Yoon-seo then said, “There were many reactions saying that the title was well-chosen.Many were curious whether the title was chosen in advance or after editing.We named it first.We chose the title with the hope that many chaotic things would happen, and many such things really happened.There were many grateful and fun comments,” drawing attention.

PD Lee So-min also made people laugh by saying, “The accommodations were refreshing, but there were a lot of reactions like, ‘I can’t go.’It seemed like people felt the fun of’ vicarious discomfort ‘rather than vicarious satisfaction.”

When asked about his thoughts on the release, Kian84 said, “When we heard that the PD directed’ Hyori’s Inn, ‘we thought that we had to do something different.Since all accommodations are about resting comfortably, we thought that if we made it as uncomfortable as possible, various things would come out.We thought a lot about things that were uncomfortable but also had a certain romanticism within it.We thought about a house, but we couldn’ t draw a house, so we came out at the end as if we were pressed for time.I didn’t know that Netflix would actually make it.”



Then, Jin said, “I think Ki-an-jang is amazing.When I receive an award at an awards ceremony, I usually get congratulations from 4-5 people, but this time, more than 10 people contacted me saying that they saw it and that it was so funny.It was the first time in my life that I received so many contacts.I’m grateful, and I also want to thank the CEO and employee Ye-eun.” He also said, “I think they contacted me because Ki-an-jang is easy to approach.I was so grateful,” drawing attention.

Jin also recalled his first impression of Ki-an-jang, saying, “It was the first schedule I chose to do, aside from the things I had to do after I was discharged and the advertisements.The moment I went, I thought, ‘I hate the boss.’ J-Hope had been discharged, and I thought I should use this content, so I kidnapped him after he was discharged and tried to create content.”

Ji Ye-eun said about the first time she checked in, “I imagined ‘Hyori’s Inn ‘.I was so surprised and shocked because I even dragged three suitcases.” Jin continued, “As an employee, I thought it was too much.We had no idea about the concept.We’ve been to a boat and a house in the mountains, but they told us to accept guests from the first day.I thought our boss was really an amazing person.”



Here, ‘CEO’ Kian84 said, “I hated seeing my employees come and relax comfortably.I was worried that they would become spoiled, so I tried to make it as different as possible.I was happy to see them having a hard time,” and made people laugh by saying, “I was worried that the customers would be uncomfortable.The employees are the employees.”

Regarding the design intention of Gian84, he said, “There are so many comfortable and nice accommodations.I thought the opposite and made it uncomfortable and romantic.I thought that when everyone checked in, I would drag the boat back to Seoul.There are some things I like now, but there are also some things I regret,” and explained, “I thought that if I slept hanging on the wall and looked at the moon and stars rising in the sky, I would never forget it.That’s where I put the most(effort).I put the most effort into the bedroom.”

Kian84 explained the script, saying, “At first, I only thought about making it fresh.When I actually saw it, I became weak-hearted.I ended up compromising with myself.If it weren’t for Seokjin(Jin), I think the program’s identity would have disappeared.He set the best example,” and “What I was so thankful for was that since there was no ceiling, if it rained, it would all get wet.When I opened my eyes in the morning, he had been sleeping outside all the way.I was touched.He was a world star, but he slept all the way in the rain.That’s when I came to my senses.”



PD Jeong Hyo-min said about the episodes being released today(the 15th), “Unlike previous episodes, episodes 1-3 are filled with stories from before the opening because they are about implementing a house designed by Kian84.So if you think of episodes 1-3 as ‘Kianjang Begins,’ episodes 4-6 being released today are about the conflicts and explosions experienced by the staff as business begins.The chemistry and stories with the guests become intertwined.It’s not easy for a lodging variety show to become more fun as it progresses, but I can tell you that this time, it’s getting more and more fun thanks to the staff.”

PD Hwang Yoon-seo then said, “In the previous episode, the 2030s representing youth appeared, and in the future, the youngest guest will appear and a water park will open.There will also be a surprise guest who was not in the plan.There will also be a guest who made Kian84 cry and snot.We plan to ask a broad question about what more diverse youth means,” raising expectations.

When asked why he chose ‘Dae-Hwan-Jang Gian-Jang’ after his discharge, Jin said, “At some point, President Gian84 took over my algorithm.I was purely curious as a human being.Since the media and reality are different, I wanted to watch it from the side.When I received the offer, I thought there would be something.It was more amazing than I thought, so I was flustered, but I wanted to watch that kind of life from the side.That’s why I applied.” He caught everyone’s attention by saying, “Would spoons and toothbrushes really come out of their pockets? Would a person at that age be able to eat and lie down right away? But they really did it all.I really confirmed it from the side.”



After meeting BTS’s J-Hope on ‘I Live Alone ‘and Jin on’ Daehwajang Gian84 ‘, Kian84 expressed his affection by saying, “I just need Seokjin.Since he’s my assistant, he sets an example by displaying military spirit.He’s a real powerhouse.I actually designed the house, and Ye-eun cried because it was hard.I also cried after two days because it was so hard.He has a great sense of responsibility, but it’s also a burden, so I cried because I was sad.But Seokjin is a strong friend.I think I just need Seokjin.”

Jin added, “I’ve been doing broadcasting for several years, so it’s hard for me physically, and I thought the program concept was difficult content.When I suggested changing something, I said it didn’t seem right.We compromised on the stability issue.”

PD Jeong Hyo-min said about the global response of ‘Daehwajang Gianjang’, “It’s hard not to be conscious of the global aspect.When I was actually producing, I tried not to think about the global aspect.Doing a real variety show itself is like challenging Billboard with a ballad.I thought it would get messed up if I tried to go beyond Korean sentiments.Fortunately, the plan was very fun, and it seemed like a universal sentiment to be uproarious.I have some expectations, and I’m grateful that they’re responding in that way.”

Meanwhile, ‘Daehwajang Gianjang’ is a new concept of extraordinary lodging variety show where Gian84, Jin, and Ji Ye-eun and their guests at Gianjang in Ulleungdo, which is flowing with a whimsical accident.It was first released on the 8th, and three episodes will be released per week over three weeks.
