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.”
