Kian 84, a painter and broadcaster who sold a well called MBC, succeeded in transforming his image in about 8 years. He became likeable from unlikable and is already being mentioned as the winner of the MBC Entertainment Awards. Following the previous year's Daesang winner at the MBC Entertainment Awards, Jeon Hyun-moo, there are opinions that 'You should engrave your name on the trophy' or 'Half of it has already been engraved'.

Kian 84 is active in MBC, starting with 'I live alone', 'Around the world while I was born', and 'Around the world while I was born 2'. Gian 84 started as a webtoon writer. From May 5, 2011 to June 5, 2013, he published 'Fashion King' serially on the portal site Naver Webtoon and Naver Series.

Gian 84, who achieved consecutive hits in the series 'I live alone' and 'Around the world while I was born'. Currently, he is established as a target candidate and a favorable image, but he was not liked from the beginning. At the time of the webtoon writer, I had problems with serialization late and suspension. After starting broadcasting activities, he was at the center of various issues, such as wearing padding at the Entertainment Awards, controversy over his attitude at Seoul Fashion Week, where he became a model, and controversy over not attaching motorcycle license plates.

In addition, he was hit hard by hygiene standards and irrational remarks toward guests. In 2020, there was a series of reactions that I had to leave 'I live alone'. However, Gian 84, who confessed to suffering from panic disorder and anxiety disorder since 2018, has changed. There is a reason why he constantly took medicine, but it is because he silently chose his own path. Among them, it was thanks to MBC's 'Around the World While Born' that he appeared in last year that he put a wedge in his image transformation.

'Around the World While Born' aired from December 11 last year to January 22 this year. Gian 84 went to South America with Lee Si-eon, who made friends through 'I Live Alone' through 'Around the World While I Was Born', and YouTuber Panni Bottle, and enjoyed an unplanned trip.

Kian 84 returned with 'Around the World 2 (hereinafter referred to as 'Taegye 2')' after six months of the end of the previous season.

Lee Si-eon was omitted from 'Taegye 2'. Instead of Lee Si-eon, Dex, who appeared in OTT 'Game of Blood' and 'Solo Hell Season 2', was put in. Aired on July 16, 'Around the World 2' recorded a rating of 6.1% (provided by Nielsen Korea), breaking its own record. The ratings of 'Thailand 2', which started with 4.7% in the first episode, are gradually rising.
