Kim Soo Hyun seems to be stepping down from MBC's newest variety show project, 'Good Day', as public pressure increases due to the controversy that has dragged his name into it. This decision was considered almost inevitable after his name continued to be discussed on various media platforms and online communities.
According to a report from Maeil Business Newspaper on Wednesday March 12, 2025, 'Good Day' will be filming its latest episode on Thursday March 13, 2025. However, Kim Soo Hyun will definitely not be present at the filming session.
Since he had completed the previous recording session in late February, the production team is currently considering whether to delete or edit the parts he had recorded. If it is true that he is leaving the program, major revisions will likely be needed, especially since 'Good Day' also involves a music project related to the show.
With public opinion becoming increasingly negative towards him, it is thought that it will be difficult for Kim Soo Hyun to continue appearing on major entertainment programs on national television. 'Good Day' is a music show that brings together G-Dragon with various musicians and public figures to create songs that will become big hits this year.
This event also marks PD Kim Tae Ho's return to MBC after previously leaving the television station in 2022. Kim Soo Hyun himself joined the program as part of the group '88s', which consists of several famous celebrities such as Hwang Kwanghee, Lee Soo Hyuk, Jung Hae In, Im Si Wan, and G-Dragon.
He joined through his personal connections with the other members. However, after the scandal surrounding his relationship with Kim Sae Ron resurfaced, the public began to question his presence on the show, leading to calls for him to withdraw from the project.
The controversy arose after the YouTube channel Garosero Research Institute revealed claims from the late Kim Sae Ron's family. They said that Kim Soo Hyun and Kim Sae Ron had been in a relationship since 2015, when the actress was still 15 years old, while Kim Soo Hyun was already 27 years old.
In addition, Garosero also accused several parties, including YouTuber Lee Jin Ho, of playing a role in putting pressure on Kim Sae Ron. Kim Sae Ron's agency was also criticized for how they handled the issue. Responding to the accusations, Kim Soo Hyun's agency, Gold Medalist, emphasized that the allegations circulating were slander.
They announced that they will take legal action against those spreading false information regarding their actors. However, Garosero continues to release new evidence, including photos showing physical interactions between Kim Soo Hyun and Kim Sae Ron, as well as messages that Kim Sae Ron allegedly sent to Kim Soo Hyun before she died.
In fact, they also revealed a handwritten letter allegedly written by Kim Soo Hyun while he was serving his military service for Kim Sae Ron. Despite the ongoing allegations, Kim Soo Hyun's agency stands by their initial statement, insisting that there has been no change in their position on the controversy.
With increasing public pressure and Kim Soo Hyun's decision to take a break from filming, his future in the entertainment industry is now increasingly in question. Will he really leave 'Good Day' and other projects? It's still a big question mark for the Korean entertainment industry right now.
