They say a position makes a person, but will Kian84, who has risen to a ‘high position’, change or stay the same?
Webtoon writer and broadcaster Kian84, Han Hye-jin, Jung Yong-hwa, and Mimi met as ‘company family’ on the ENA entertainment program ‘Kian Isseo’, which will be aired for the first time on the 5th.
‘Kian Isseo’, which will be aired for the first time on the 5th, is a word combining Kian‘s name and the word ‘CEO’, and is an office entertainment program in which Kian84 gives advice to various CEOs on their concerns.
Kian84 played the role of the CEO of Kian Isseo Co., Ltd. in the program, while Han Hye-jin, Jung Yong-hwa, and Mimi played the role of the headquarters director, team leader, and employee, respectively.
Kian84 said, “(As a CEO), my first worry is salary. I have to make a living, so from my perspective, I offered to raise my salary, but everyone has different opinions, so we clash and things like that. But it’s hard and there have to be results. That‘s why running a company isn’t easy,” speaking like a CEO.
Han Hye-jin, who has worked with Kian84 on various entertainment programs since the MBC entertainment show “I Live Alone,” attended the production conference held ahead of the first broadcast and said, “I‘ve worked with Kian84 many times. I just breathe and he does well next to me, so I just have to pick it up,” and added, “We have the ’crazy chemistry‘ that many people imagine. You can look forward to it.”
Jung Yong-hwa said, “We’ve all met for the first time through this program,” and added, “Our chemistry was good from the first shoot. I‘m participating as if I belong to a company that’s like family. When I think of CEOs, I first thought of cold-blooded people, but when I looked inside, I saw that they had a lot of worries. I learned something new from them,” he said.
Regarding Kian84’s decision to step up as the ‘CEO, he said, “I met the CEO for the first time today and we shared our souls and decided to run together in the future,” and praised him, saying, “He sincerely listened to the CEOs’ difficulties and thought about them, and gave creative and flexible ideas that the CEOs or employees couldn’t think of.”
Mimi also said, “She has a tsundere-like personality. She secretly takes care of us from behind. She sympathizes with the CEOs’ sense of responsibility more than anyone else and I liked her attitude of seriously sharing her concerns with them.”
