Webtoon artist and broadcaster Kian84 has drawn mixed reactions from netizens for making fried rice using leftover bento ingredients, including persimmons. Recently embroiled in a hygiene controversy, he is once again drawing attention with this unique dish.

On the 5th, a video titled "Daily Life 2: Filmed and Edited Alone" was uploaded to Kian84's YouTube channel, "Life 84."

In the video, Kian84 said, "Red Velvet's Joy is appearing today. It seems she has come out to promote her drama." He added, "Anyway, when I asked Joy if there was anything she wanted me to make for her, she said she wanted fried rice made from a bento, so I planned to make fried rice."

Kian84 made fried rice using the side dishes and rice from the bento. Furthermore, he even added the persimmons, which were served as dessert, into the fried rice and stir-fried them together.

He stated, "It seems the persimmons were placed there to be eaten as a dessert, but I am thinking of stir-frying them along with the rest. If I add this, it seems I can bring out sweetness without adding sugar."

Subsequently, he added more water and completed the fried rice.

Kian84 said, "I went to a filming location yesterday and thought it would be a waste to throw away what I wasn't eating, so I brought back about three bentos because I felt bad wasting them. You all should try stir-frying your leftover or uneaten bentos like this. It tastes much better than fresh rice."

Afterward, Joy tasted the fried rice made by Kian84. Upon learning that persimmons were included before eating the fried rice, she expressed surprise, asking, "Why are there persimmons in the rice?"

After tasting the fried rice, Joy evaluated it by saying, "I only took one bite, but I felt like I had eaten a huge amount of side dishes all at once." She added, "But it has its charm. The taste is different until you chew and swallow it."

However, opinions among netizens were divided over the fried rice made with persimmons. In particular, some netizens reacted to the shocking appearance of the dish made from leftover bento ingredients with comments such as, "This isn't fried rice; it's at the level of 'jam-bap'" and "Why put persimmons in fried rice?"

Meanwhile, Kian84 was previously embroiled in a hygiene controversy after appearing on last month's Netflix guesthouse variety show, "Kian’s Bizarre B&B 2," where he was seen not changing his underwear for more than three days and lying down in bed without washing up.

Kian84 also made remarks that seemed to acknowledge the hygiene controversy in a YouTube video. He explained, saying, "Lately, I have been scolded quite a bit for not changing my underwear," adding, "In fact, I am not that dirty."
