“Imagination realized as it is”…‘Daehwajang Gianjang’ Even the experts were surprised by the guesthouse

The ‘Daehwajang Gianjang’ PDs introduced the guesthouse that made Gian84‘s imagination come true.

At the production conference for Netflix’s ‘Daehwajang Gianjang’ Part 1 held at the Masil Live Hall in Community House in Jung-gu, Seoul at 11 am on the 8th, PD Jung Hyo-min confessed, “It was really difficult to even receive the sketch of the guesthouse. The filming date was set and there was a time when it had to be built. We did give ideas, but it was Gian84‘s job to design and deliver it.”He said, “Even on the day we were supposed to receive the drawing, he said he hadn’t drawn it. I thought, ‘Is it right to do a program with this person?’, but he drew it quickly. The moment I saw the completed picture, a specific picture came to mind,” he said. “I did my best to keep it a secret. At that time, Jin and Ji Ye-eun had already been cast, but I thought I shouldn’t show them the blueprints of the guesthouse until the very end.”

PD Lee So-min said, “I wanted to make my imagination come true and create it just as it was, and I wanted the synchronization between Kian84’s drawing and the set to be high. The art director is someone who has done many pretty works such as ‘Youn’s Kitchen,’ but he said, ‘This is a house that even experts would never imagine.’ He happily participated because it was a new challenge.”

PD Hwang Yoon-seo said, “We thought there might be dangerous spots, so our first principle was, ‘Let’s make it safe.’ “Before filming, the production team also tried lying on the bed, cooking, and riding a pole, and even ran simulations,” he revealed.

“Daehwajang Gianjang” has not only a main building on the ocean, but also an annex in the mountains. PD Jeong said, “It was around the time a typhoon was coming. We built the annex to prepare for unexpected situations,” and added, “Ulleungdo has a complex image of the ocean and mountains. In the annex, unlike the main building, I thought it would be good to show how Kian84 renovated his house in Ulleungdo. Even the monorail was newly built in a Kian84 style.”

“Daehwajang Gianjang” is an extraordinary, new concept guesthouse variety show where Kian84, Jin, and Ji Ye-eun interact with guests at the Ulleungdo Gianjang that flows with Kian’s creative thinking. It is the new work of PD Jeong Hyo-min and writer Yoon Shin-hye, who pioneered the guesthouse variety genre through [Hyori’s Inn]. Released on Netflix on the 8th.
