MBC’s ‘Good Day’ Skips March 23 Episode as Kim Soo Hyun’s Controversy with Late Kim Sae Ron Escalates, Forcing G-Dragon’s Show to Edit Out Actor’s Scenes and Restructure Program
MBC’s “Good Day” has decided to skip its upcoming broadcast, following a wave of controversy surrounding actor Kim Soo Hyun. The decision comes after allegations surfaced regarding his past relationship with actress Kim Sae Ron.
Broadcast Delay and Program Changes
The “Good Day” production team announced on the 20th that the episode scheduled for the 23rd would not air. They cited “program restructuring” as the reason for this postponement. This move follows a surge of viewer backlash directed at Kim Soo Hyun’s continued presence on the show.
“Good Day” features singer G-Dragon collaborating with various individuals to create a “Song of the Year.” The show, produced by Kim Tae Ho, marks his return to MBC after three years. Kim Soo Hyun appeared as part of the “88s,” a group of stars born in 1988, which includes G-Dragon.
Controversy and Public Reaction
Allegations of a long-term relationship between Kim Soo Hyun and the late Kim Sae Ron triggered significant controversy. Viewers flooded the show’s message board, demanding Kim Soo Hyun’s removal. Despite the controversy, he continued to participate in filming, appearing in a group shot during the 5th episode.
Facing mounting pressure, the production team stated on the 17th that they were aware of the serious nature of the controversy and were prioritizing viewer feedback. They announced plans to edit out Kim Soo Hyun’s appearances as much as possible.
Agency’s Response to Allegations
Kim Soo Hyun’s agency, Gold Medalist, acknowledged that the two had dated. However, they denied that the relationship began when Kim Sae Ron was a minor. The agency also refuted claims that Kim Soo Hyun pressured Kim Sae Ron to repay debts. They stated, “Kim Soo Hyun never lent money to Kim Sae Ron, nor did he demand repayment.”
