A Chance Encounter
Chaotic Giane-jang Review PPL: Yangjaecheon Cherry Blossom Trail & Samchuly Phantom Q Neo E-Bike
Words & Photos by Jeong-Yoon Lee
Every time Kian84 shows up on TV or YouTube,
there’s this one place that makes my heart skip a beat—
Yangjaecheon Stream.
Whenever that familiar trail flashes by on screen,
I shout, “Hey! That’s my spot!” without even realizing it.
And in the latest Netflix show, 〈Chaotic Giane-jang〉,
Yangjaecheon finally got its moment in full bloom.
Even the Seocho-gu Yangjae Library, my go-to hideaway, made a cameo.
I almost stood up and pointed at the screen.
“There! That’s where I take my weekend walks!”
Seeing the cherry blossoms in full bloom,
with an e-bike gliding through the path,
it looked like a dream.
Honestly, just the thought of riding through Yangjaecheon
on a spring day makes me giddy.
The Bike I Left Behind
Back in Iksan, I used to ride a bike everywhere—
to work, after work, just for fun.
It was my daily escape.
But after moving to Seoul,
life got faster, hills got steeper,
and my bike slowly faded into memory.
Now, e-bikes are everywhere.
Watching Kian84 zip through the cherry blossoms
on the Samchuly Phantom Q Neo,
I thought, “Wait… I could do that too.”
It’s not too late.
In a city like Seoul,
walking or biking is actually one of the best ways to move around.
No traffic, no stuffy subways—just fresh air and motion.
And during cherry blossom season?
It’s not a commute.
It’s therapy.
Real Vibes Only
Have you watched 〈Chaotic Giane-jang〉 yet?
The episode with BTS Jin?
As an ARMY, I obviously watched it.
But to be honest, I already watch anything Kian84 does.
His shows just feel… genuine.
There’s a certain sincerity in how he brainstorms,
how he draws blueprints with real intention,
how he throws himself into things—awkwardly but wholeheartedly.
And somehow, that awkwardness is exactly what makes it touching.
It’s never fake.
Also, let’s take a moment for Jin.
What a gem.
The way he balances eldest brother energy with the charm of a youngest?
Amazing.
He’s warm, funny, and effortlessly humble—
even while being a literal worldwide star.
And the adorable Ji Ye-eun?
Pure sunshine.
I’m already waiting for Season 2.
This Needs a Sequel
I mean, how could it not?
This cast has real chemistry.
They make chaos look cozy.
They make healing look hilarious.
When Kian84 hurt his knee,
I winced like it was my own leg.
And when Jin gave his warm, thoughtful reactions,
I felt like I was watching two longtime friends
just… get each other.
Returning to the Path, at My Own Pace
Yangjaecheon.
Cherry blossoms.
E-bikes.
And the simple joy of slowing down.
This show reminded me of all the small things
I used to love but forgot.
The things I left behind when life got busy.
The peace in movement,
and the healing in everyday sights.
Thanks to Kian84,
I’m thinking of getting back on two wheels.
It’s time to reclaim those paths.
