According to Asia News Network, Kim shared why he titled the series, K-Everything, and what it will showcase in the four-part series. He stated:
"What the producers and I wanted to do was highlight Korea for the prominent culture that it is. It’s a country roughly the size of New Jersey, and yet the influence it has on the world stage is significant. So we wanted to go a little deeper behind the tongue-in-cheek headline and look at the driving forces, some of the dynamics in the country that got it to this point."
