Kim Soo Hyun removed from Good Day following controversy involving Kim Sae Ron and audience backlash

The Good Day production team expressed regret over causing concern and acknowledged the gravity of the situation. They emphasized that all efforts are being made to reflect viewers’ concerns while maintaining the integrity of the show.

Though the program is pre-recorded to allow time for international translation and distribution, episode 5 was urgently edited to remove Kim Soo Hyun’s segments. As a result, approximately 10 minutes of content were cut, leading to a noticeably shorter broadcast.

The controversy also disrupted a March 13 filming session. Production was initially delayed while awaiting a statement from Kim Soo Hyun’s agency, GOLDMEDALIST. However, after learning that no response would be released until the following week, the team proceeded with filming, taking care to limit the actor’s interactions with others to simplify post-production edits.

The show’s General Assembly segment, filmed on February 18 and originally scheduled to air across multiple episodes, will also be revised to significantly reduce or eliminate Kim Soo Hyun’s appearances. Additionally, individual footage recorded during the March 13 session will not be included in future broadcasts.

Acknowledging the disruptions, the production team reaffirmed its commitment to quality programming and thanked viewers for their continued support. They pledged to prioritize audience sentiment and preserve the show’s core vision of providing entertaining, uplifting content.
