‘Daehwajang Kianjang’ PD “I wanted to show Superstar BTS Jin‘s human charm”

‘Daehwajang Kianjang’ PD Jung Hyo-min revealed the reason for casting the staff.

At the production conference for Netflix’s ‘Daehwajang Kianjang’ Part 1 held at Masil Live Hall in Community House in Jung-gu, Seoul at 11 am on the 8th, PD Jung said, “I thought that the staff who would support Kian84 would also be important. I wanted to bring in people who could bring out different colors, but also who had their own distinct colors that wouldn‘t be swayed by Kian84.”

He said, “First of all, Kian84 recommended Ji Ye-eun, and she also felt like she represented MZ,” and added, “Jin is not only a member of BTS, but also a globally famous idol, which is good, but I felt like his human charm itself hasn’t been revealed to the public even a tenth of it yet. He explained, ”I thought it would be good to bring out their charms through variety shows.“ He continued, ”At the time, Jin had not yet been discharged from the military, so it was not easy to convey it. Jin watched Kian84‘s program a lot in the military and wanted to meet him. He happily coordinated his music video schedule and spent almost ten days with us.“ He added, ”We didn’t tell each other that we would be appearing together. I wanted to capture everything from their awkward first meeting to the process of them becoming close.“

PD Hwang Yoon-seo said, ”We filmed it like we were filming a spy movie. We even figured out their movements,“ and added, ”Jin was such a superstar that it was difficult and awkward, but don‘t people become close through hardships? The process of them quickly becoming close was captured.“

”Daehwajang Kianjang“ is an extraordinary new concept bed and breakfast variety show that takes place at Ulleungdo Kianjang, where Kian84, Jin, and Ji Ye-eun spend time with guests. This is a new work by PD Jeong 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.
