MBC's 'Good Day' Postponed Amidst Kim Soo-hyun Controversy

MBC's popular show 'Good Day', featuring Kim Soo-hyun, will not air this week, sparking speculation that the decision is linked to the ongoing 'Kim Soo-hyun controversy'.

On the 20th, the 'Good Day' team announced, "We are informing you of a schedule change. The 6th episode of 'Good Day', originally set to air on Sunday, the 23rd, will be postponed for program restructuring." They added, "In its place, a special episode of 'I Live Alone' will be broadcast. We ask for the understanding of our viewers and thank you."

Directed by Kim Tae-ho, 'Good Day' is a music project show where G-Dragon, an icon of the era, takes on the role of producer to create memorable songs with notable figures from various fields. Kim Soo-hyun participated as a member of the '88 Club' (a group of celebrities born in 1988). While the 'Good Day' team has not specified the reason for the postponement, many speculate it is due to the personal controversy surrounding Kim Soo-hyun.

On the 17th, TEO, the production company behind 'Good Day', stated, "We apologize for causing concern to our viewers. The production team is aware of the seriousness of the controversy involving our cast member and is prioritizing viewer feedback as we continue production."

Kim Soo-hyun has faced significant backlash after allegations surfaced from the family of the late Kim Sae-ron, claiming he dated her for six years while she was a minor. Despite Kim Soo-hyun and his agency, Gold Medalist, denying the allegations, he is facing criticism both domestically and internationally for allegedly being involved in grooming behavior.
