Actor Byeon Woo-seok will join comedian Yoo Jae-suk and actor Lee Kwang-soo in Netflix’s upcoming reality series “Jae-seok’s B&B Rules!” (working title), where Yoo runs a guesthouse with partners both familiar and new.

The show is directed by Jung Hyo-min, known for JTBC’s “Hyori’s Bed and Breakfast” and Netflix’s “Kian’s Bizarre B&B,” and began recruiting guests in July.

Yoo, who previously won over viewers with his easy chemistry in SBS’ “Family Outing,” will take on the role of a camp host this time, personally welcoming and looking after guests.

Joining him are actor Lee Kwang-soo, Yoo’s longtime partner from “Running Man,” and rising star Byeon Woo-seok, who drew international attention with the hit drama “Lovely Runner.” The program marks Byeon’s first fixed role in a reality show, adding weight to his collaboration with Yoo.

Producer Lee So-min said, “With a duo that combines familiarity and novelty, we expect to create cheerful synergy and even richer chemistry,” while hinting that more staff members will be revealed.

On Sept. 5, reports emerged that singer Lee Hyo-ri would also appear on the show. However, a Netflix official clarified the following day, “It was only an idea discussed in a meeting. We have not made an offer to Lee Hyo-ri.”

The casting updates have already drawn heated responses online, with comments such as, “I expected it since the producer also worked on ‘Hyori’s Bed and Breakfast,’” “Lee Kwang-soo makes it a dream lineup,” and “With Yoo Jae-suk and Byeon Woo-seok together, it’s unmissable.”

“Jae-seok’s B&B Rules!” is slated for release in 2026.
