On Tuesday, April 8, the Netflix show Kian’s Bizarre B&B, starring BTS' Jin, Kian84, and Ji Ye-eun, premiered. As people discussed the various events that unfolded during the first three episodes, many talked about one hilarious moment that took place.
BTS' Jin stands as one of three people who help manage and maintain the B&B. When the idol was cooking a dish for his guests, he was momentarily stuck. He had to use a cast iron cauldron to cook a dish, and when he was cleaning the cauldron, the coating kept coming off.
Therefore, when he was unsure as to how to proceed with the dish, he immediately called upon his friend, the famous South Korean chef Baek Jong-won, asking him for tips on how to clean the cauldron in question. The chef recommended that he can directly start cooking in it and the coating will not come out when it's under heat.
When this interaction landed on the internet, fans and netizens couldn't help but find the moment hilarious. They were not only surprised by the close friendship the two share but were also elated by the fact that Baek Jong-won was one of BTS' Jin's emergency contacts.
