‘Good Day’ side “Kim Soo-hyun controversy serious… Editing out the appearances as much as possible” [Full text]
On the morning of the 17th, the ‘Good Day’ side stated through YouTube, “The production team recognizes the seriousness of the controversy surrounding the ‘Good Day’ cast, and is continuing production while prioritizing viewer reactions.” They added, “The 5th episode that aired yesterday is a version that was hastily edited and re-released from the broadcast version that had already been delivered and was being translated in consultation with MBC and other global OTT platforms as soon as the controversy grew. Because of this, the 5th episode was about 10 minutes shorter than the previous episodes, and the details were insufficient.”
They continued, “Regarding the recording that took place on March 13th, the production team waited for an official position from Kim Soo Hyun’s agency regarding the controversy as the recording of the ‘Good Day’ sound source was delayed more than scheduled. However, due to the fact that the agency will be making a statement next week (as of March 13) and that it will be difficult to secure the cast‘s schedule after that date, we had no choice but to go ahead with the recording after much deliberation,” they explained.
The production team added, “The production team has decided to edit out as much of Kim Soo-hyun’s portion as possible. The cast member‘s individual recording on March 13 will not be broadcast.”
Meanwhile, the late Kim Sae-ron’s bereaved family revealed through the YouTube channel ‘Garosero Research Institute’ that actor Kim Soo-hyun dated the late Kim Sae-ron for six years, since she was a minor. In response, Kim Soo-hyun‘s side stated that they began dating the late Kim Sae-ron after she was a minor.
In the ‘Good Day’ broadcast on the 16th, Kim Soo Hyun’s individual shots were edited out, but he could be seen in the group shot.
●Below is the full statement from ’Good Day’
Hello. This is the ‘Good Day’ production team.
First, we apologize for causing concern to those who watch ‘Good Day’.
The production team is aware of the seriousness of the controversy surrounding the ‘Good Day’ cast, and is continuing production while prioritizing viewer reactions.
‘Good Day’ is a program that is pre-produced at least one week, and two weeks, before the broadcast due to translation procedures during the overseas broadcast/transmission process. Episode 5 that aired yesterday is a version that was hastily edited and re-released from the broadcast version that had already been delivered and translated in consultation with platforms such as MBC and global OTT as soon as the controversy grew, including the part where Kim Soo-hyun appears in the ‘Good Day General Assembly’. Because of this, Episode 5 was about 10 minutes shorter than the original episodes and lacked detail.
Regarding the recording that took place on March 13, the production team waited for an official statement from Kim Soo-hyun‘s agency regarding the controversy as the recording of the ‘Good Day’ audio source was delayed compared to the schedule. However, due to the fact that the agency would be expressing its position next week (as of March 13) and that it would be difficult to secure the cast’s schedule after that date, they had no choice but to proceed with the recording after much deliberation. After careful discussion, the production team decided to record and film the sketches with the intention of deleting the portions, while trying to minimize overlap with other cast members. We sincerely apologize for causing concern to those who love ‘Good Day’.
As long as the controversy over the cast continues, we believe that the purpose of ‘Good Day’, which started with good intentions, the hearts of the cast members who sincerely participated, and the love of the viewers who sympathized and cheered for us may continue to be damaged. The content of the ’Good Day General Assembly‘ that was revealed from the latter half of Episode 5 yesterday was filmed on February 18th and will unfold over the next 6-7 episodes. The production team has decided to edit out as much of Kim Soo-hyun‘s appearance as possible. The individual recording process of the cast member in question on March 13th will not be broadcast.
We will work even harder to provide enjoyment to the viewers in the remaining broadcasts, and we will do our best to make this a program where you can have a good day with good people by taking good care of the hearts of the cast members who are participating.
