Actor Kim Soo Hyun is facing huge backlash after attending a scheduled recording for MBC’s variety show Good Day, despite being caught up in a massive controversy over allegations that he dated Kim Sae Ron when she was a minor.

According to industry insiders, Kim Soo Hyun unexpectedly appeared at the recording site in Seoul on March 13 at 2 PM, just two days after telling the production team he wouldn't be attending due to a "provincial schedule."

The sudden change in plans left many wondering if he was trying to avoid the public eye before deciding to face the cameras anyway.

Good Day’s production team confirmed his participation but said, "The filming proceeded with a minimized schedule."

However, this decision did not sit well with viewers.

As soon as news broke that Kim Soo Hyun had gone ahead with filming, the show’s viewer bulletin board was flooded with over 200 furious comments demanding his removal.

"Kim Soo Hyun should voluntarily step down!"
"He’s disgusting. How dare he show up like nothing happened?"
"Is he out of his mind?"
"MBC, are you seriously ignoring viewers?"
"How can public broadcasting allow this?"

The anger didn’t stop with Kim Soo Hyun—viewers also targeted producer Kim Tae Ho, questioning why he still chose to proceed with filming despite the growing controversy.

"Kim PD, why are you filming with someone caught in a scandal?"
"I will boycott all of Kim Tae Ho’s programs from now on!"

The outrage stems from recent claims that Kim Soo Hyun was in a six-year relationship with actress Kim Sae Ron, starting in 2015—when she was still a minor.

With viewers furious and pressure mounting, many are now waiting to see how Kim Soo Hyun will respond—and whether he will step back from the public eye or fight back.

Singer Steve Yoo (Yoo Seung Jun), who has been banned from entering South Korea for over two decades, continues to express his love for the country and his desire to return.

On March 21, Yoo Seung Jun posted a video on his personal account along with a cryptic caption, saying, “When one door closes, another opens. When one door opens, another closes.”

He continued, “Just because a door has opened doesn’t mean I should leave, and just because one is closed doesn’t mean I shouldn’t try to open it. I am simply walking the path my father told me to take. Whether people acknowledge it or not no longer matters to me.”

His hashtags also caught attention, as he included “I love you,” “Bless you,” “South Korea,” “Loved ones,” “Everything will be okay,” and “Korea.” Fans couldn’t help but wonder if he was once again hinting at his hope to return.

Just a few days earlier, on March 18, Yoo Seung Jun had also posted a nostalgic message about his time in South Korea.

He wrote, “December 7, 1989—13 years old (1st year of middle school). The school I attended until the day before I immigrated to the U.S. in Songpa-gu, Oju Middle School, is still the same.”

Along with his message, he shared a video of the school's walls and playground, revealing, “One of my fans filmed my middle school, which I attended until I left for the U.S., and sent me the video.”

The clip also showed scenes of his elementary school, making fans reminisce about his past in Korea.

Yoo Seung Jun was one of the most popular artists in South Korea during the 1990s, but his career took a sharp turn in 2002 when he unexpectedly left for the U.S., renounced his Korean citizenship, and became a U.S. citizen.

This led to widespread backlash, as many saw it as an attempt to evade mandatory military service. As a result, the South Korean government banned him from entering the country.

Since then, he has repeatedly taken legal action in hopes of lifting the ban. Now, with his continued efforts and heartfelt messages about Korea, many are wondering—will he finally be allowed back after 23 years?
