• MBC’s ‘Good Day’ team rushes to edit out Kim Soo Hyun as much as possible after controversy—official statement released

    MBC’s Good Day has officially announced that they will edit out Kim Soo Hyun’s appearances as much as possible following his recent controversy.

    On March 17, the production team released a statement through their channel, saying, “First, we sincerely apologize for causing concern to 'Good Day' viewers. The production team is aware of the seriousness of the situation involving one of our cast members and is prioritizing the opinions of viewers.”

    They explained that since Good Day is a pre-recorded show, episodes are completed at least one to two weeks in advance for translation and international streaming.

    They stated, “Episode 5, which aired yesterday, had already been submitted for translation when the controversy escalated. However, after discussions with MBC and global OTT platforms, we urgently re-edited the broadcast to remove Kim Soo Hyun’s appearance in the ‘Good Day General Assembly’ segment. As a result, the episode was about 10 minutes shorter than usual, and some details were missing.”

    Regarding Kim Soo Hyun’s participation in the March 13 recording, the team said, “At the time, his agency informed us that they would release a statement the following week and that scheduling future recordings would be difficult. After much deliberation, we proceeded with the recording but took care to edit out his portions and film separately from the other cast members.”

    The statement concluded with, "We sincerely apologize for any distress this has caused 'Good Day' viewers. The production team has decided to minimize Kim Soo Hyun’s appearance as much as possible, and his individual recording from March 13 will not be aired.”

  • Fans can't stop swooning over BTS's V showing off cherry blossoms and his toned muscles just 40 days before discharge

    BTS's V is making his fans fall even more in love with him as he shares moments from his life just 40 days before his military discharge.

    On April 30, V posted several new photos on his Instagram story, giving fans a sneak peek into his daily routine.

    Among the photos was a beautiful shot of cherry blossoms, accompanied by the word "cherry blossom" as he expressed his longing for spring.

    He followed up with more photos, sharing how much he wanted to enjoy the season with his fans.

    To make the post even more special, V added background music from BTS member J-Hope's song Sweet Dreams and Design by the American punk band Gustav.

    It turns out that Gustav was grateful for V introducing their music to the world and even received fan comments saying they discovered the band through him.

    In another adorable photo, V posed with CF director Ray J. Yi (Lee Jun Yeob), with flowers in his hair. The director also shared the cute photo, adding the word "flower" to express how happy he was with the moment.

    But it wasn’t all about flowers and beauty—V also gave fans a peek at his workout routine. He proudly showed off his toned arm muscles in a picture, though his face appeared a little thinner.

    This is likely due to his diet, as he’s been working hard to maintain his figure ahead of his discharge. Before enlisting, V weighed 62 kg, and during his service, he reached 86 kg. Now, he’s lost 10 kg and is preparing for his return to the public eye.

    Interestingly, V has been working out at the same place where singer Kim Jong Kook films his popular YouTube channel Jim Jong Kook, sparking fan excitement and hopes that V might make an appearance on the show after he’s discharged.

    As soon as V shared his latest update, his name—"KIM TAEHYUNG"—shot to the top of real-time trending charts worldwide. Fans from all over the globe, including in the U.S., couldn’t get enough of the updates, proving once again the massive impact V has.

    He is set to be discharged from the military on June 10, and fans are eagerly awaiting his return.
