Kim Soo-hyun's appearance has been completely deleted from 'Good Day'. The production team of 'Good Day' meticulously erased Kim Soo-hyun, who was sitting in the center, with a white solid line even in the full shot capturing all the cast members sitting together.
On the broadcast of the MBC entertainment program 'Good Day' aired on the 6th, the cast gathered for a general meeting.
The general meeting featured guests including G-Dragon, who gathered 'People Who Shined in 2024', Jung Hyun-don, Defconn, Code Kunst, Jo Se-ho, as well as Hwang Jung-min, Lee Soo-hyuk, Im Si-wan, Hwang Kwang-hee, Jung Hae-in, Kian 84, Hong Jin-kyung, Kim Go-eun, Chef Ahn Sung-jae, Seventeen unit Boo Seok-soon, Aespa, CL, and others.
The general meeting continued with a charity auction and the release of a group song following last week's broadcast. Jung Hae-in presented a T-shirt and hat he wore in the drama 'Mom's Friend's Son', while Chef Ahn Sung-jae showcased the knife he bought as his second purchase after starting cooking. G-Dragon offered a one-time use ticket called 'Ji Yong-gwon' as an item for auction.
The cast sat in a direction facing the auction items, and the auction proceeded in a lively atmosphere. Due to the nature of the auction, participants were captured in full shots, but not a single scene of Kim Soo-hyun sitting in the center was visible. Although it was a difficult position to delete, they managed to erase Kim Soo-hyun's appearance by cutting out the part where he was sitting with a white solid line and stitching the rest together.
Kim Soo-hyun was also absent from the group song recording scene. After the charity auction, the group song 'Telepathy' by Dosi Ai was released, and scenes of the recording in the studio were also shown. However, Kim Soo-hyun was completely edited out of scenes where 88z (G-Dragon, Im Si-wan, Hwang Kwang-hee, Lee Soo-hyuk), Code Kunst, and Jo Se-ho gathered in the recording studio or during the overall recording.
On the 10th of last month, the family of actor Kim Sae-ron claimed through the YouTube channel Garoseoro Research Institute that Kim Sae-ron and Kim Soo-hyun had been in a relationship from November 2015 to July 2021 for six years, raising suspicions of Kim Soo-hyun's grooming of a minor. In 2015, when the family claimed the relationship began, Kim Sae-ron was 15 years old, and Kim Soo-hyun was 27 years old.
As a result, when Kim Soo-hyun's appearance was aired in the broadcast of 'Good Day' on the 16th of last month, netizens reacted coldly, and ultimately, the 'Good Day' team announced on the 20th of last month that they would take a week off to reorganize the program.
Although it seemed difficult to completely erase Kim Soo-hyun's presence since he participated in group filming such as the general meeting and recording, the production team managed to completely erase Kim Soo-hyun's traces through screen splitting and other methods in the broadcast on the 6th following last week's episode.
Meanwhile, Kim Soo-hyun's side stated in a press conference on the 31st of last month, "We never dated during the deceased's minor years, nor did we exert financial pressure." They also expressed their grievance, saying, "It is not true that the agency pressured the deceased's debts, leading to their tragic choice. I was told, 'You pressured the deceased with money, causing them to die. Therefore, you are a murderer,' and I cried out in injustice."
Kim Soo-hyun has filed a lawsuit against the family of the late Kim Sae-ron and the YouTube channel Garoseoro Research Institute for violations of the Act on Promotion of Information and Communications Network Utilization and Information Protection, etc., and has claimed 11 billion won in damages.
