MBC’s ‘Good Day’ to Edit Out Kim Soo Hyun Amid Growing Controversy
MBC removes Kim Soo Hyun from Good Day following public backlash
MBC’s popular variety show Good Day has announced its decision to remove all scenes featuring actor Kim Soo Hyun following escalating controversy surrounding him. The production team issued a formal statement on Monday, addressing the situation and outlining their approach to handling the transition in upcoming episodes.
“We sincerely apologise for causing concern to those who have been watching Good Day,” the statement read. “The production team is fully aware of the gravity of the controversy surrounding one of the cast members and is continuing production while prioritizing the reactions of our viewers.”
While the statement did not specify the nature of the controversy, the decision suggests that the network is taking public sentiment seriously. Editing out a key cast member can be a complex process, particularly for a show that relies on interactive segments and ensemble performances. The production team is reportedly working on re-editing previously filmed episodes to minimize disruption.
Industry experts note that such removals often lead to reshoots, creative changes, or even structural modifications to the program’s format. However, MBC has assured viewers that the show will continue without major interruptions.
Fans have expressed mixed reactions to the decision, with some supporting the move as a necessary response to the controversy, while others feel that editing out Kim Soo Hyun entirely may disrupt the show's dynamics.
MBC has yet to announce whether the actor will be replaced or if the show will undergo further changes. Meanwhile, industry watchers are closely monitoring the situation as speculation continues over the impact on Kim Soo Hyun’s career and future projects.
