Why Kian84… PD of ‘Daehwajang Kianjang’ “Curiosity, feeling responsible while watching the marathon”

PD Jung Hyo-min revealed why he cast Kian84 as the owner of a guesthouse.

PD Jung said at the production conference for Netflix‘s ‘Daehwajang Kianjang’ Part 1 held at the Masil Live Hall in Community House in Jung-gu, Seoul at 11 am on the 8th, “I have been working with writer Yoon Shin-hye on programs since ‘Hyori’s Inn’, and I thought, ‘What can I do if I make a modern version of a variety show?’. He said, “‘Hyori‘s Inn’ was with an outstanding and special person like Lee Hyo-ri. A guesthouse variety show also reveals the main MC’s thoughts, way of thinking, and philosophy. I always felt stuck, wondering if it could be more fun than ‘Hyori’s Inn‘ with any other cast,“ he confessed.

It was a program planned around the fall of the year before last. PD Jeong said, ”It was when Kian84 was rising in popularity right before he won the grand prize. I wondered, ’Would it be a program if Kian84 played the owner of the inn?‘ But rather than ’What would it be like?‘, the question that came to mind first was ’Can it be done?‘ I was curious. It seemed like it would flow in a different direction even though only one main character had changed.“ He confessed, ”At the time, Kian84 became a hot topic for challenging a marathon, and seeing him like that, I vaguely felt like he wasn’t an eccentric person. I felt a sense of responsibility. “I thought that by building up the narrative, we could create a variety show that everyone can watch happily at the final destination,” he said.

‘Daehwajang Gianjang’ is an extraordinary new concept guesthouse variety show where Gian84, Jin, and Ji Ye-eun interact with guests at Gianjang in Ulleungdo, which flows with a creative mindset. It is the new work of PD Jung Hyo-min and writer Yoon Shin-hye, who pioneered the guesthouse variety genre through [Hyori‘s Inn]. It will be released on Netflix on the 8th.
