Kian84 name-drops G-Dragon and BTS’s Jin while bonding with juniors on the latest episode of MBC’s I Live Alone.

On the May 23 episode of MBC’s hit variety show Home Alone (I Live Alone), Kian84 rolls up his sleeves for a mural painting volunteer project with a group of younger friends. After working hard under the blazing sun at a local children’s home, he treats them to a well-deserved lunch—and that’s when the conversation gets interesting.

As they lounge on the lawn discussing potential guests for their school festival, Kian84 casually suggests, “Should I ask GD?”—referring, of course, to G-Dragon. The two first crossed paths on MBC’s Good Day, where G-Dragon took the lead role.

He shares a few stories from their past encounters, capturing the full attention of his juniors. He doesn’t stop there: Kian84 also brings up BTS’s Jin, whom he grew closer to through their Netflix show Kian's Bizarre Bnb, proudly boasting about his A-list connections.

Then, with a sheepish grin, he adds, “They probably don’t know what our relationship is really like,” hinting that he’ll reveal more about his actual connection with G-Dragon during the episode. What he says next? That’s still under wraps—but viewers are curious to find out.

After his juniors leave for class, Kian84 returns to the mural, fully immersing himself in the artwork. Initially overwhelmed by how much is left to paint, he mutters, “I really took on too much,” but quickly gets back to it—layering and retouching the mural with care, determined to leave something special for the kids.

Later, when the children return from school, they react candidly to the nearly finished mural. Their flood of drawing requests brings a huge smile to Kian84’s face as he incorporates their wishes into the wall art. One surprise moment? The kids give him a heartfelt gift that leaves him stunned. “How did you even find this?” he says, clearly touched. The mystery behind their thoughtful present will be revealed during the episode.

MBC’s Home Alone airs at 11:10 PM KST on May 23.

Kian84 has firmly established himself as one of Korea’s most beloved variety show stars. Once known primarily as a webtoon artist, he’s now carving out a new legacy as the quirky, unpredictable “king of unscripted TV.” After winning hearts with Kian's Bizarre BnB, his hit Netflix series featuring awkward-yet-endearing travels and heartfelt moments, he's back in full force—this time with Adventure by Accident 4, which has soared to the No. 1 spot on Netflix Korea.

In Adventure by Accident 4, Kian84 returns with fellow cast members Lee Si-eon, Dex and Pani Bottle, diving into a whole new journey—this time in the breathtaking landscapes of Nepal. Unlike typical travel shows, this series thrives on chaos, spontaneity, and raw emotional moments, driven largely by Kian84’s unpredictable charm.
