It was clumsy and rough, but perhaps that's why it felt even more sincere. With its unique differentiation, unseen anywhere else, 'Kian's Inn 2' left a warm afterglow for guests and viewers.'Great Chaos Kian's Inn Season 2' (hereinafter referred to as 'Kian's Inn 2'), a Netflix entertainment program whose final episode was released on the 6th, is a guesthouse variety show that depicts Kian84 Kim Yeon-Koung and Lee Jun-ho Kazuha opening the second branch of 'Kian's Inn' deep in the mountains of Daegwallyeong in mid-winter and welcoming guests.The program, consisting of a total of 10 episodes, enjoyed great popularity from the start. Just two days after the release of the first episode on the 24th of last month, it ranked first in Netflix's 'Today's Korea TOP 10 Series'. Furthermore, thanks to the high interest in Season 2, Season 1 also saw a reverse run. 'Kian's Inn 1', released in April 2025, ranked 10th on Netflix in September of this year, more than a year later.It also showed strength in terms of buzz. 'Kian's Inn 2' ranked first overall in the TV-OTT Non-Drama Buzzworthiness ranking for the 4th week of September, announced by Fundex of Data Corporation, and Kian84, Lee Jun-ho Kim Yeon-Koung, and Kazuha ranked first, second, and third respectively in the non-drama cast buzzworthiness ranking.Netflix's entertainment program 'Great Chaos Kian's Inn Season 2' depicted celebrities running a guesthouse in Daegwallyeong, built based on Kian84's imagination. /NetflixWhat first caught the eye in this 'Kian's Inn 2' was none other than the space itself. 'Kian's Inn', the Season 2 guesthouse created by Kian84 based on his past experiences, was built in the mountains of Daegwallyeong. According to Kian84's introduction, the goal was to recreate the memories of comfortably visiting a friend's studio apartment.However, the size was enormous. While the exterior and interior design could be considered ordinary, the size was beyond imagination. The front door was significantly taller than a person's height, with the doorknob located too high to reach alone, and the refrigerator could hold three people, while the sink could accommodate more than 10 people.The purpose of the objects also changed in bizarre ways. An ice cream cup became a refrigerator, a shelf became a sauna, and a TV became a karaoke machine. A ramen box was transformed into a bed, and an enormous T-shirt served as a blanket for the guests.The novel guesthouse, filled with Kian84's creativity, not only surprised the guests but also gifted them with unforgettable memories. This was possible only because it was 'Kian's Inn 2', which is unique and unlikely to be encountered again.In Netflix's entertainment program 'Great Chaos Kian's Inn Season 2', webtoon artist Kian84, former volleyball player Kim Yeon-Koung, actor Lee Jun-ho, and Kazuha from the group LE SSERAFIM appeared as staff members running the guesthouse. /NetflixThe chemistry among the 'Kian's Inn 2' staff, led by President Kian84, also added to the fun. The camaraderie built between Kian84, the only experienced member, and Kim Yeon-Koung and Lee Jun-ho Kazuha, who newly joined the 'Kian's Inn' series, amidst adversities and hardships, evoked warmth and cheerfulness.First, Kian84, due to his free-spirited personality, lacked in leadership, but his sincerity in caring for the guests was genuine. Although his raw actions sometimes shocked the staff, he spared no effort throughout the broadcast to create good memories for the guests. In particular, the conversations with guests and the party-style dinners, which were well-received by the guests, originated from his ideas.Kim Yeon-Koung built a bickering, antagonistic chemistry with Kian84 by strictly monitoring his cleanliness with a sharp gaze. She worried about his unchanging underwear and delivered a poignant remark to the exhausted Kian84, urging him to get back on his feet. She also broke down barriers with guests, utilizing her extensive experience from long periods of group living. She created a friendly atmosphere by exchanging jokes like a playful older sister.Lee Jun-ho played the role of a quick-witted and swift intermediary. With his meticulous organizing habits and proactive attitude, he played a crucial role as the handyman of 'Kian's Inn 2'. Thanks to his efforts, the kitchen of 'Kian's Inn' was always kept tidy. He particularly understood and soothed the hardships of Kian84 and Kim Yeon-Koung Kazuha with his thoughtful and kind words.The growth of the maknae Kazuha, who gained confidence with each episode, was another fun point of 'Kian's Inn 2'. As a foreigner and someone particularly shy, she sometimes shed tears, but her prepared stamina and proactive attitude in any situation brought smiles to viewers' faces.Netflix's entertainment program 'Great Chaos Kian's Inn Season 2' captured viewers' hearts with its unexpectedly great fun and lingering emotions. /NetflixIn fact, 'Kian's Inn 2' is a program where Kian84 plays a significant role. Beyond being the main cast member, he also proposed the concept and design ideas for the guesthouse building, which can be considered the origin of 'Kian's Inn'. Therefore, Kian84 felt immense pressure from the beginning of Season 2. He felt the pressure to create an even more ingenious guesthouse than in Season 1 to satisfy the viewers.To make matters worse, Jin from the group BTS and actress Ji Ye-eun, who were staff members in Season 1, could not join Season 2, necessitating significant changes to the staff lineup. This meant that Kian84, under his own name, had to work hand-in-hand with new staff members for the not-so-short period of 9 nights and 10 days to welcome non-celebrity guests, which was undoubtedly a cause for concern.However, Kian84 put these worries aside and successfully completed Season 2. He created the unique fun of Season 2 with the natural atmosphere of Daegwallyeong, the characteristics of the mid-winter season, and a more original and innovative 'Kian's Inn' building, along with likable staff members.Consequently, 'Kian's Inn 2' became an opportunity to showcase Kian84's entertainment value once again. His resilience in successfully completing a program up to its second season amidst various concerns shone through. Therefore, attention is focused on whether Kian84 can return with a third 'Kian's Inn' story, adhering to his unique romanticism.mcy21@tf.co.kr[Entertainment Department | ssent@tf.co.kr]
