BTS’s Jin Gets Candid About His Most Unexpected Role on Kian’s Bizarre B&B

On April 22, the final episode of the Netflix entertainment series Kian's Bizarre B&B aired, where Jin shone as an all-rounder staff member known for his skillful hands and quick wit.

Through his agency BIGHIT MUSIC, Jin said, “Kian's Bizarre B&B, which we filmed last summer, has finally wrapped up. When I first arrived on Ulleungdo and saw the real company space, I felt lost. But eventually, I found myself blending into it so naturally that it made me laugh. Honestly, there were tough moments too, but looking back, it was an unforgettable and precious experience.”

He added, “I want to sincerely thank President Kian84, Ji Ye-eun, and every guest who joined us. I really want to say they all worked so hard. And of course, thank you to ARMY and all the viewers who showed love for Kian’s Bizarre B&B until now.”

Throughout the show, Jin took on a variety of tasks including cooking, cleaning, and repairs—earning the nickname “MacGyver Jin” for his resourcefulness. Not only did he support Kian84 as a reliable right-hand man, but he also stood firm in upholding the show’s unique concept and rules, even in uncomfortable situations. His humble, grounded attitude stood in charming contrast to his “world-class” celebrity status.

Jin’s appearance significantly boosted the show’s popularity. According to Good Data Corporation’s FUNdex, he ranked #1 in non-drama TV-OTT personality buzz for the third week of April—up five spots from the previous week—thanks to his sincere and authentic presence on the show.

Additionally, Netflix’s weekly rankings (April 7–13) revealed Kian's Bizarre B&B placed 6th in the Global TOP 10 Non-English Series, making it the only variety show to break into the top 10.

In the unreleased clip titled "Watch Jin one, two, punch!" BTS’s Jin shows off his playful side while helping out at the quirky guesthouse. Wearing a relaxed smile, he throws a lighthearted “one-two punch” combo, sparking laughter from the cast and crew. The scene captures Jin’s cheerful energy and his natural chemistry with the team, reinforcing why he earned the nickname “MacGyver Jin” for being both reliable and entertaining throughout the show. It’s a fun behind-the-scenes moment that highlights his charm and down-to-earth personality.

BTS’s Jin is back—and ready to echo through the hearts of fans worldwide.

Meanwhile, Jin is returning to his musical roots. He is set to return with his second solo album Echo, dropping May 16, marking his first musical release since completing military service.

According to Billboard, the album will explore themes of introspection and emotional resonance, showcasing Jin’s growth as a solo artist. Following the release, Jin will embark on a global fan meeting tour starting in Seoul in June, with additional stops to be announced. This comeback signals a fresh chapter in Jin’s career, blending heartfelt storytelling with a renewed connection to fans worldwide.
