The agency's additional explanation is meaningless? Did actor Kim Soo Hyun force his appearance on ”Good Day”? Viewers' message boards are in uproar: ”Cancel the show”

Actor Kim Soo Hyun's forced appearance on Good Day has set viewers' message boards ablaze. Beyond talk of his demotion, there has also been an increase in comments demanding that the programme be scrapped.

　According to the broadcasting industry, Kim Soo Hyun participated in the recording of the programme on the 13th. There were some reports that Kim Soo Hyun did not participate in the recording of ‘Good Day’ on that day, but this was not true. The production team stated that the filming proceeded with a minimised schedule.

　Viewers were outraged when they found out that Kim Soo Hyun did participate in the recording. This was because Kim Soo Hyun had recently been heavily criticised for allegedly dating the late actress Kim Sae-ron when she was a minor. Viewers of the programme are currently expressing their disappointment with the producers on the programme's viewers' board, with comments demanding that Kim Soo Hyun be removed from the recording and that the programme be discontinued.

　Kim Soo Hyun has also been hit with a series of disconnections as a result of the row. Some brands have made it clear that they will not re-sign her, and adverts she appeared in in the past have also been removed from the brands' SNS in real time.

　Then, on the 14th (today), Kim Soo Hyun's agency Gold Medalist released a lengthy position statement. The agency stated that Kim Soo Hyun was showing sudden psychological instability and that he had been in a relationship with the late Kim Sae-ron for two years after he became an adult, not when he was a minor.

　They also commented on the letter he sent to Kim Sae-ron at the time of his military enlistment "It was one of the letters I sent to my close acquaintances. As can be seen from the content, Kim Soo Hyun was adjusting to military life and sent detailed descriptions of his daily life in the military to his acquaintances. The expression ‘I miss you’ was said in a light-hearted way by a soldier in military life to his close acquaintances," they said, adding that “the nickname that Kim Soo Hyun used publicly on SNS since 2016 was distorted as if it was a nickname used only between the two of them.”

　They continued by denying claims that Kim Soo Hyun had ignored Kim Sae-ron's financial problems, saying, "At that time, GOLDMEDALIST repaid the entire remaining debt that Kim Sae-ron personally could not handle. Since the drunk driving incident, GOLDMEDALIST worked with Kim Sae-ron to settle various penalties related to her acting career and compensation for damages to shop owners who were affected by her drunk driving."

　However, the long-winded explanation has not changed the public anger directed at Kim Soo Hyun. Will Kim Soo Hyun be able to reverse this reaction? The developments will be closely watched.

　Meanwhile, MBC's variety show ‘Good Day’ is a music project in which G-DRAGON (BIGBANG) meets people from various fields and together they complete ‘the song of the year’, which airs every Sunday at 9:10pm.
