Island life, chaos, and Jin of BTS — Netflix’s Kian84’s B&B is coming, new teasers dropped and release date revealed

Jin of BTS is back, and this time, he’s taking his worldwide handsome charm to Netflix. That’s right. After all the atrocities and delights of Run Jin in general, and most recently, the Squid Jin Game special, Jin of BTS is about to dive headfirst into a completely new type of chaos. The upcoming variety show Kian84’s B&B (Kian’s Bizarre B&B) has finally set its release date for April 8, 2025, promising island life, unexpected challenges, and pure comedy gold.

Jin of BTS: Mayhem goes global. Soon on Netflix

Jin has been a variety show icon for years. Whether it was outsmarting his own members in Run BTS or bringing sheer unhinged brilliance to Run Jin’s parody of Squid Game, he has always known how to keep things unpredictable.

Jin's sharp humor, ridiculously quick reflexes, and ability to go from chaotic genius to worldwide handsome in 0.2 seconds make him the perfect fit for reality TV.

But here’s the twist. This isn’t just any variety show. It’s Kian84’s world now, and Jin is stepping right into it. If you’re not familiar with Kian84, let’s just say this — expect the unexpected.

Kian84: The host, the legend, the chaos

Kian84 isn’t just a random host. He’s a phenomenon in Korean entertainment. Originally a webtoon artist, he became a household name thanks to his work on Fashion King and Home Alone (I Live Alone), where his utterly unfiltered, chaotic, and borderline absurd lifestyle turned him into one of Korea’s most beloved variety personalities.

This is the same guy who once daydreamed about meeting j-hope of BTS and having him in Home Alone, somehow made it happen, and now? He’s got Jin. The self-proclaimed genius of BTS is about to clash with Kian84’s figure-it-out-later approach to life, and the result is bound to be hilariously catastrophic.

Survival, but make it Jin. Again.

The show takes place on Ulleungdo, a remote island in South Korea, where Kian84, Jin, and actress Ji Ye-eun are tasked with running a guesthouse. Simple enough, right? Of course not.

The teasers already show Jin questioning all his life choices, struggling through bare-handed eating challenges, and realizing that island life is not as glamorous as it sounds.

ARMYs might remember that Jin has some experience with island survival, thanks to BTS Island: In the SEOM. But let’s be real. That was a cozy mobile game where he could relax and fish. (While there was In the SOOP two and Jin's — mostly failed — attempts at fishing).

Kian84’s B&B is real-life madness, where rock climbing to welcome guests and dealing with Kian84’s brand of unpredictability are part of the package.

Worldwide handsome takes on Netflix

One of the biggest highlights here is that Kian84’s B&B isn’t just airing in Korea or on YouTube. This is a full-fledged Netflix production, meaning global audiences will get to witness Jin’s variety brilliance firsthand. Whether you’re an ARMY who’s been following his journey for years or someone just now discovering why Jin of BTS is TV gold, this show is shaping up to be one of the most entertaining releases of the year.

And let us not overlook this. Jin is more than just humor. Because of his easy charisma, he is able to convert even the most routine events into comedic moments. He has the uncommon ability to make every second fascinating, whether he is failing badly at a task or delivering a one-liner that is so precisely timed that it could be written. He has this capacity — it's consensus.

Where and when to watch Kian84’s B&B

Kian84’s B&B premieres April 8, 2025, exclusively on Netflix, with new episodes dropping in batches over three weeks. If Jin’s past variety adventures have taught us anything, it’s that we’re about to witness pure, unfiltered entertainment, packed with ridiculous challenges, unexpected friendships, and legendary one-liners.

And if watching Jin embrace island chaos isn’t enough, you can also live out your island adventure with BTS Island: In the SEOM, the previously mentioned mobile game available for free on the App Store (iOS) and Google Play (Android), with optional in-app purchases. Because, let’s be honest. After this, you’re going to need more Jin in your life.
