Kian’s Bizarre B&B 2 drops on Netflix on September 22, 2026, per Sports Chosun, roughly 17.5 months after Season 1 aired on April 8, 2025.
This new season swaps the seaside setting of Ulleungdo Island for a mountain guesthouse in Daegwallyeong in the dead of winter, and it replaces the entire staff lineup with Kian84, Kim Yeon Koung, Lee Junho, and Kazuha.
This post covers the exact date and its confidence level, who is on staff, why Jin and Ji Ye-eun are not returning, how the location changed, and which details are still unpublished.

Kian’s Bizarre B&B 2 Netflix: September 22, 2026 release and the new Daegwallyeong cast
Kian’s Bizarre B&B 2 releases on Netflix on September 22, 2026, per Sports Chosun, roughly 17.5 months after Season 1 aired on April 8, 2025.
That September 22 date comes from a single Sports Chosun report published September 15, 2026, which said the show opens ‘on the 22nd.’ Netflix’s own official announcement, however, only committed to a Q3 2026 window, not a specific day.
That means the two sources are not the same level of certainty.
The Q3 2026 window is official, while the exact September 22 date rests on one media report.
When I see a Korean variety release date reported by one media outlet, the first thing I check is whether Netflix’s own page matches — here Netflix only committed to Q3 2026, not the 22nd.
If you are marking your calendar, treat September 22, 2026, as reported and plan to double-check the Netflix title page the week of release before locking anything in.
Otherwise, the safest move is to set a soft reminder for early September and confirm there.
Key gaps to keep in mind: about 17.5 months from Season 1 (April 8, 2025) to this release (September 22, 2026), about 14.5 months from production confirmation (July 11, 2025) to release, and about 7 months from the cast announcement (February 26, 2026) to release.
| Location | Ulleungdo Island, seaside (seaside setting) |
|---|---|
| Staff | Kian84, Jin (BTS), Ji Ye-eun |
| Setting | Seaside guesthouse |
| Season | Spring (aired April 8, 2025) |
| Director | Lee So-min PD |
| Release | September 22, 2026 (reported) |
Who is in the Kian’s Bizarre B&B Season 2 cast?
Netflix officially announced the new Season 2 staff — Kim Yeon Koung, Lee Junho of 2PM, and Kazuha of LE SSERAFIM — on February 26, 2026, alongside a Q3 2026 release window.
Kian84 returns as the owner, but everyone working under him is brand new.
Kim Yeon Koung is a retired volleyball star who joins as the cleanliness manager and the mood-maker, and she says she keeps Kian84 in check because ‘almost nothing goes as planned at Kian’s B&B.’ Lee Junho handles cooking to cleaning as the all-rounder ‘skillful worker’ with perfectionist tendencies, calling the stay a memory he will never forget.
Kazuha, the youngest on staff, is in charge of ‘sharp remarks’ and describes the experience as being ‘like a survival show where we get stronger and stronger.’ Kian84, meanwhile, now calls himself a ‘veteran owner’ and says he tried to communicate more with guests than he did in Season 1, where he admits living together with them taught him a lot about his own shortcomings.
If you enjoyed Season 1 mainly for Kian84’s awkward guest interactions, the added effort he puts into socializing this season is a reason to keep watching; if you were there for Jin or Ji Ye-eun specifically, you need to know the whole supporting cast has turned over.
Why are Jin and Ji Ye-eun not in Season 2?
Jin dropped out due to BTS comeback and concert preparations, and Ji Ye-eun instead appeared in Netflix’s ‘Yoo Jae-suk Camp’ from the same studio, Studio Modak.
Neither returns in Season 2, and the Season 2 staff lineup is entirely new.
Because the staff changed completely, the show also changed how it frames the staff–guest relationship.
The guests come from various nationalities, jobs, and backgrounds, and Kian84 socializes with them more actively than in Season 1, so the boundary between staff and guests blurs.
The director compares the atmosphere to a college MT (a Korean university membership training retreat) where strangers end up chatting like old friends.
If you watched Season 1 for Jin or Ji Ye-eun, they are not in Season 2, so decide whether that alone is a dealbreaker before you press play.
If you are open to a new dynamic, the blur between staff and guests is the biggest shift to watch for.
Where was Season 2 filmed and how is it different from Season 1?
| Aspect | Season 1 | Season 2 |
|---|---|---|
| Location | Seaside guesthouse, Ulleungdo Island | Mountain guesthouse, Daegwallyeong, Gangwon-do |
| Season/air date | Aired April 8, 2025 | Filmed around February 2026, mid-winter |
| Staff | Kian84, Jin (BTS), Ji Ye-eun | Kian84, Kim Yeon Koung, Lee Junho, Kazuha |
| Conditions | Sea setting | ‘Colder and harsher’ mountain winter |
| Guest dynamic | Standard B&B operation | Long cold nights gathered in one space, ‘like friends at a college MT‘ |
Guest recruitment opened December 5, 2025, via Netflix SNS, and the guesthouse operation was filmed around February 2026, which puts roughly 7 months between filming and release.
The production describes the new location as ‘colder and harsher’ than the first.
If you are deciding between rewatching Season 1 or jumping straight to Season 2, start with Season 1 (April 8, 2025, Ulleungdo Island) — Season 2 changes the setting, the season, and the cast, and the director built it for viewers who saw the first one.
Otherwise, if you want the full before-and-after, watch Season 1 first to feel the contrast.
What the cast and director said about Season 2
The four cast members and director Lee So-min PD spoke about the season in interviews published September 15, 2026, and here are their comments without interpretation added.
Kian84: ‘At the 2nd location, I tried to communicate more with the guests.
Living together with them was a time I learned a lot from my own shortcomings.
I prepared B&B 2 with care.’
Lee Junho: ‘Kian’s B&B was a memory I will never forget.
We experienced things you can’t easily experience in a lifetime, so there is a lot of unexpected fun.’ Kim Yeon Koung: ‘Almost nothing goes as planned at Kian’s B&B’ — she asks viewers to enjoy how the cast handles unexpected situations with guests.
Kazuha: ‘In a way it’s like a survival show — you’ll see us getting stronger and stronger.’
The director, Lee So-min PD of Studio Modak (the same production house as Season 1 and ‘Yoo Jae-suk Camp’), framed the biggest question as ‘how to show something new to viewers who saw the first B&B,’ saying the season, setting, and staff all changed but the core fun of strangers eating, sleeping, laughing together remains.
Kian84, she added, offered an imagination only he could have.
Episode count, runtime, and regional release details not yet published
As of September 15, 2026, the episode count and running time have not been published — the listing pages leave those fields blank, so any specific number you find elsewhere is guesswork.
It is also not confirmed whether all regions get the season at the same hour on September 22, 2026, since ‘worldwide Netflix release’ is not the same as ‘simultaneous everywhere.’
The age rating is also not listed yet, and no source states whether Jin or Ji Ye-eun could return or cameo in future seasons or a cameo in this one.
The genre listed is real variety with food, travel, comedy, and lifestyle elements.
What you can do: check the Netflix title page (Season 1 is at netflix.com/title/81040344) the week of September 22, 2026, for the final episode count, runtime, and regional release time, since that is where Netflix posts those details when they go live.
If I were planning around the release, I would check the Netflix title page the week it goes live rather than trusting secondhand numbers, because the details above are exactly the ones Netflix fills in last.
