‘Good Day’, ‘Suspicion of dating a minor’ Due to Kim Soo Hyun controversy? 1-week cancellation for “reorganization” [Official]

MBC entertainment program ‘Good Day’ will be canceled this week.

On the 20th, ‘Good Day’ production team stated, “Episode 6 of ‘Good Day’, which was scheduled to air on Sunday, March 23rd, will be canceled for a week to reorganize the program. ‘I Live Alone Special’ will be aired during that time slot,” and asked for viewers’ understanding.

‘Good Day’ has recently been in the spotlight due to controversy over cast member Kim Soo Hyun’s private life. Kim Soo-hyun is suspected of dating the late Kim Sae-ron, who passed away last month, when she was a minor.

Despite the successive revelations about his private life, Kim Soo-hyun appeared on ‘Good Day’, which aired on the 16th. Although individual shots were edited out, he appeared in the full shot and was also mentioned on the show. He also participated in the recording normally.

The ‘Good Day’ side stated on the 17th, “The 5th episode that aired yesterday was 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 OTTs as soon as the controversy grew, with Kim Soo-hyun‘s part of the ‘Good Day General Assembly’ edited out and re-released.” They explained, “Because of this, the 5th episode was about 10 minutes shorter than the previous episodes and lacked detail.”

They stated, “Regarding the recording that took place on March 13th, the production team waited for an official statement from Kim Soo-hyun’s agency regarding the controversy as the recording of the ‘Good Day’ sound source was delayed compared to schedule. 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 performer‘s schedule after that date, we had no choice but to proceed with the recording after much deliberation,” they said. “We have decided to edit out as much of Kim Soo-hyun’s portion as possible. The performer‘s individual recording process on March 13 will not be broadcast.”
