BTS’ Jin, Ji Ye-eun, and Kian84 navigate unpredictable challenges in Episodes 4–6 of Kian's Bizarre B&B
The fourth episode of Kian's Bizarre B&B introduces viewers to the logistical complexities of operating a floating guesthouse, such as the slippery slides. Ji Ye-eun shines as the B&B's boat captain, having obtained a boating license specifically for this endeavor. They meet new guests as a father checks in with his two young sons, the Ha family.
Meanwhile, Jin continues to impress with his adaptability. From culinary duties to maintenance tasks, he embodies the moniker "MacGyver Jin," seamlessly handling various responsibilities.
In the fifth installment of Kian's Bizarre B&B, the trio faces unforeseen challenges that test their resilience and teamwork. A sudden equipment malfunction threatens the day's operations, prompting Kian to head to the hospital as he hurts his right shin. The Netflix staff immediately adds safety nets and measures to avoid any further casualties.
Three male guests who called themselves as "Mad Rock Team" helped Kian and Jin fix the rocks on the rock climbing wall in Kian's Bizarre B&B. They replaced and rearranged the rocks on the walls to accommodate even kids.
Kian gets into a heart-to-heart conversation with Dam and Yul's father. Mr. Ha reveals that he has lung cancer and it has spread throughout his body and so he is trying to spend a much time as he can with his two sons. This makes Kian emotional as he opens up about losing his father to lung cancer.
In the sixth episode of Kian's Bizarre B&B, the staff bids farewell to the Ha family, the KAIST students, and the Mad Rock Team. Kian, Jin, and Ye-eun clean the guesthouse and do laundry to get ready for their new guest arrivals in the evening.
At night, Kian goes to meet Dam, Yul, and his father, as they were in a different hotel. He gives them a hand-painted portrait and wishes them luck.
Kian’s Bizarre B&B will air its three finale episodes (episode 7, 8, and 9) on April 22, 2025, on Netflix.
