Netflix's 'Kian's Crazy Lodge 2' captured on camera … 192-cm Kim Yeon-koung left speechless by the twist

10-episode variety show premieres on the 22nd, revealing the reality of a massive two-star lodge in frigid Daegwallyeong

Kian84, armed with an unconventional imagination, has opened a second guest lodge in the frigid Daegwallyeong region of Gangwon province through Netflix's original series 'Kian's Crazy Lodge 2'. The curtain has now risen on the extraordinary oversized lodge that even world-class volleyball star 'Kim Yeon-koung' said she would not pay to stay in, while its designer confessed, "The workload was so brutal that I nearly cried."

A Gulliver world built in the mountains in midwinter, with grueling labor that brought even its designer to tears

'Kian's Crazy Lodge' — hereafter 'Kian's Lodge' — returns after a year and five months away, having made waves with unprecedented concepts including an oil rig over the sea and beds without roofs. At a production presentation held on the 22nd in Seoul's Mapo district, 'Kian84' revealed how the second location came to be, saying, "I agonized deeply over how to meet the high expectations set by the previous season."

While Season 1 captured the refreshing feel of Ulleungdo in midsummer, Season 2, led by producer Lee So-min, shifts the setting to the mountains of Daegwallyeong in the dead of winter, where bitter cold creates a perfect contrast.

The highs and lows of a colossal scale, and new employees' extreme fight for survival proven by their bruises

The central theme of the second location is "the world's biggest lodge." As if the classic novel Gulliver's Travels had been brought to life, every piece of furniture and object filling the space was built oversized, defying standard dimensions. But the storybook imagination quickly gave way to the hardships of reality. 'Kian84' described the struggle hidden behind the romance, saying, "It was a nonstop succession of labor with no time to rest."

The lineup of new employees who will complete the new season's story is equally impressive. Led by 'Kim Yeon-koung', singer and actor 'Lee Jun-ho' and LE SSERAFIM's 'Kazuha' have joined the cast, promising unpredictable chemistry.

Even a 192-cm physique is useless, as world-class star delivers witty, cutting reviews

The review from 'Kim Yeon-koung', who stands 192 centimeters tall, is especially painful yet funny. "I expected the place to be comfortable for my build, but I was completely wrong," she said, delivering a sharp verdict: "If I had to pay to stay, I would think twice."

Upgraded two-star amenities and surprise appearance by 'Dex' … Global launch set for the 22nd

'Lee Jun-ho', who said he joined the cast in search of a dopamine rush, had a similarly grueling experience. His confession that he "experienced healing and brutal labor at the same time" during a punishing schedule that left his entire body covered in 'bruises' offers a glimpse of the second location's arduous daily routine. 'Kazuha', who sent greetings by video, identified the unique amenities available only at 'Kian's Lodge' — including a sauna and skating rink — as highlights to watch.

Even amid the extreme conditions, 'Kian84''s pride remains firm. Choosing the second location without hesitation when asked to compare it with the first, he declared, "In terms of amenities, including abundant services, private rooms and a sauna, it has advanced to the level of a two-star hotel."

Broadcaster 'Dex', a rising star in the variety-show world and a key member of the so-called 'Kian line,' will also be deployed as a secret weapon. 'Dex' traveled straight to Daegwallyeong after completing an overseas schedule, and his loyalty is expected to inject fresh energy into the show.

Netflix's tightly woven 10-episode series 'Kian's Crazy Lodge 2' will release Episodes 1 through 4 early at 5 p.m. on the 22nd via 'Netflix', meeting viewers around the world over three weeks.
