International online communities are expressing strong disapproval towards actor Kim Soo Hyun, leading many overseas fans to flood the social media accounts of individuals involved in the ‘Good Day’ project with demands to unfollow him. This surge of online activity follows recent statements regarding Kim Soo Hyun‘s past relationship with the late actress Kim Sae Ron.
Online Pressure Mounts on ‘Good Day’ Participants
A poster for ‘Good Day’ shared by G-Dragon has garnered approximately 13,000 comments as of March 18. The overwhelming majority of these comments come from international fans urging the ‘Good Day’ participants to distance themselves from Kim Soo Hyun. Messages such as, “You should never have anything to do with Kim Soo Hyun” and “Please remove Kim Soo Hyun from ‘Good Day’,” reflect the intense sentiment.
This online pressure follows an earlier apology from the ‘Good Day’ production team. On March 17, they issued a statement through their official account, saying,
We sincerely apologize for causing concern to those who watch Good Day. We have decided to edit out Kim Soo Hyun‘s appearances as much as possible.
While the production team has taken steps to minimize Kim Soo Hyun‘s presence in the project, the backlash has now extended to the other participants who still maintain a connection with him on social media.
Fans Target Social Media Followings
‘Good Day’ is a collaborative music endeavor led by G-Dragon, who teams up with various personalities to create a prominent song each year. The project gained significant attention with the formation of the group ’88 Nation,’ which included Kim Soo Hyun, Jung Hae In, Lee Soo Hyuk, Im Si Wan, and Hwang Kwang Hee, alongside G-Dragon.
Currently, Jung Hae In andIm Si Wan are among the participants who still follow Kim Soo Hyun on social media. In contrast, G-Dragon, Lee Soo Hyuk, and Hwang Kwang Hee have either limited their followings to zero or just one account.
Consequently, international fans have been actively commenting on Jung Hae In and Im Si Wan‘s social media profiles. Their messages include demands like, “We oppose Kim Soo Hyun. Can you unfollow him?” “It’s time to unfollow Kim Soo Hyun,” and “It’s disappointing that you’re still following Kim Soo Hyun.”
Clarification Regarding Jo Se Ho
Recent rumors suggested that fellow ‘Good Day’ participant Jo Se Ho had unfollowed Kim Soo Hyun on March 12. However, this information has been confirmed to be incorrect. It was clarified that Jo Se Ho had never followed Kim Soo Hyun‘s account in the first place.
Background of the Controversy
The surge in negative public sentiment towards Kim Soo Hyun stems from claims made by the bereaved family of the late Kim Sae Ron. They alleged that Kim Sae Ron and Kim Soo Hyun were in a relationship for six years, starting when she was 15 years old in 2015 and continuing until she turned 21 in 2021.
Initially, Kim Soo Hyun‘s representatives vehemently denied these claims, labeling them as “false.” However, their stance shifted on March 14. They issued a statement clarifying,
Kim Soo Hyun and Kim Sae Ron were in a relationship from the summer of 2019 to the fall of 2020, after Kim Sae Ron became an adult. It is not true that Kim Soo Hyun dated Kim Sae Ron when she was a minor.
