In the midst of growing negative international sentiment towards actor Kim Soo Hyun, many overseas online users have taken to the social media accounts of participants in 'Good Day,' demanding that Kim Soo Hyun be removed from the show.
As of March 18, a 'Good Day' poster shared by G-Dragon has garnered around 13,000 comments, mostly from international fans urging for Kim Soo Hyun to be ousted from the program. Comments include requests like "You should distance yourself from Kim Soo Hyun" and "Please exclude Kim Soo Hyun from 'Good Day'."
On March 17, the 'Good Day' production team issued an apology through their official account, expressing regret for causing worry among viewers. They also announced plans to minimize Kim Soo Hyun's appearances in future episodes.
Despite the production team distancing themselves from Kim Soo Hyun, the repercussions have extended to participants who still follow him on social media.
'Good Day' is a music project where G-Dragon collaborates with various individuals to create a notable song. The program gained attention for featuring Kim Soo Hyun, Jung Hae In, Lee Soo Hyuk, Im Si Wan, and Kwang Hee as part of the group '88 Nation' alongside G-Dragon.
Among these participants, Jung Hae In and Im Si Wan are still following Kim Soo Hyun. In contrast, G-Dragon, Lee Soo Hyuk, and Hwang Kwang Hee have minimized their social media interactions with him.
In response, overseas fans have left comments on Jung Hae In and Im Si Wan's social media accounts, urging them to unfollow Kim Soo Hyun due to the ongoing controversy.
There were rumors that 'Good Day' participant Jo Se Ho unfollowed Kim Soo Hyun on March 12, but it was later confirmed that Jo Se Ho had not followed Kim Soo Hyun in the first place.
Additionally, the family of the late Kim Sae Ron recently alleged that she had been in a six-year relationship with Kim Soo Hyun starting from when she was 15 in 2015 until she turned 21 in 2021. Initially refuting these claims, Kim Soo Hyun's side later acknowledged the relationship from 2019 to 2020, stating it began after Kim Sae Ron reached adulthood.
Furthermore, G-Dragon's song "TOO BAD (Feat. Anderson .Paak)" emerged victorious on 'Inkigayo,' along with performances by Red Velvet's Seulgi, ITZY's Yeji, LE SSERAFIM, SEVENTEEN's HxW, and more.
