After Youth Over Flowers, Na wanted to continue to innovate. Inspired by Lee Seo-jin's complaints that he hated cooking while preparing meals in Grandpas Over Flowers, Na cast Lee opposite his Wonderful Days co- star Ok Taecyeon in Three Meals a Day. The two men were tasked to cook three meals a day from home-grown ingredients while living three days a week in a rural village in Jeongseon County, Gangwon Province. Though the concept seemed simple, Lee and Ok, both city dwellers, had difficulty cultivating the vegetable garden and harvesting from the farm animals and the sorghum field, such that they struggled to feed themselves (and weekly celebrity guests) to comical results.

Since backpacking was mostly associated with the young, Na wanted to flip the idea and make it fresh. He said that by placing veteran actors (who are fixed in their habits) in exotic settings, it allowed for "unexpected" elements to unfold that made for great TV. Titled Grandpas Over Flowers (a pun on the Japanese manga Boys Over Flowers), the show filmed the four actors traveling to France and Switzerland while accompanied by their "porter," 40-something actor Lee Seo- jin. It was immediately a ratings hit when it aired in 2013, and like 2 Days & 1 Night before it, became a cultural phenomenon. The cast drew increased mainstream popularity among the younger generation, and the show sparked a trend of senior citizen-themed shows among rival networks.

The show is a spin-off of Grandpas Over Flowers, but unlike its predecessor which starred veteran actors in their seventies, PD Na Young-seok cast middle-aged actresses of a wider age range, with 42-year-old Lee Mi-yeon, 46-year-old Kim Hee-ae, 62-year-old Kim Ja-ok, and 66-year-old Youn Yuh-jung. All four women had never appeared on variety/reality shows before, but Na said he was "looking for actresses who were transcendent personalities" and "who were wise, experienced and had great life stories to tell". He then cast 27-year-old singer-actor Lee Seung-gi to be the actresses' companion and "luggage boy," though Lee himself later admitted he had difficulty in his duties as a tour guide. Lee had previously worked with PD Na and his crew on another hit reality show, 2 Days & 1 Night.

The bar's interior, 2016 The gay-owned bar at 317 Northwest Broadway in downtown Portland has been described as "more gentlemen's club than night club" and "Northwest lounge-meets-library-meets-executive locker room". Willamette Week said the original Christopher David-designed club looked "like the private rooms where today's grandpas once held stag parties, with brown leather couches, Victorian wallpapered sitting rooms, Edison bulbs hanging from nautical rope, and dark, aqua walls covered in snowshoes and ancient oars and framed kitsch—plus a taxidermal white buck behind the bar." Vendors used to design the interior were "part of the community", according to the original owner Jerrick Hope-Lang, who said, "They wanted to have a very masculine, Pacific Northwest feel — a gentleman's club-meets-hunting lodge-meets-hot boys dancing in thongs." Stag is the second all-nude gay strip club on the West Coast of the United States, after Silverado, which is also located in downtown Portland.
