“Good Day” Production Team to Edit Out Kim Soo Hyun’s Footage Amid Controversy
On March 17, the production team of “Good Day” released a statement confirming their decision, stating that they would remove all footage of Kim Soo Hyun from upcoming episodes to avoid unnecessary speculation and misunderstandings.
“‘Good Day’ is a program that is pre-produced at least one to two weeks in advance of its broadcast due to the translation process required for overseas broadcasting/streaming,” the statement read. “Episode 5, which aired yesterday, was edited urgently to remove Kim Soo Hyun’s footage from the ‘Good Day General Assembly’ segment.”
“This decision was made as soon as the controversy arose, in agreement with MBC and global OTT platforms, even though the episode had already been submitted and was in the process of being translated. As a result, Episode 5 was approximately 10 minutes shorter than usual and lacked some details,” it continued.
This announcement follows a statement from GOLDMEDALIST, Kim Soo Hyun’s agency, addressing rumors about his past relationship with the late Kim Sae Ron. On March 14, GOLDMEDALIST confirmed that Kim Soo Hyun and Kim Sae Ron had dated in the past, but firmly denied accusations that their relationship began when she was still a minor. The agency emphasized that the circulating rumors were false and misleading, urging the public not to believe unverified claims.
Additionally, GOLDMEDALIST issued a legal warning against those spreading misinformation or making defamatory statements about Kim Soo Hyun. They stated their intent to pursue legal action to protect their artist from further damage caused by false allegations.
As the situation unfolds, “Good Day” has taken proactive steps to avoid further controversy, opting to exclude Kim Soo Hyun’s segments from the show entirely.
