Will Kim Soo-hyun, who threw water on G-Dragon's return variety show, be excluded from the legendary '88 line'?
Actor Kim Soo-hyun, amid controversy over his alleged relationship with the late Kim Sae-ron, pushed ahead with the recording of 'Good Day', while G-Dragon appears to have expressed some discomfort. There are reactions suggesting that he indirectly revealed his feelings by reportedly liking Kim Soo-hyun's departure vote.
MBC's variety program 'Good Day' is a music project where G-Dragon acts as a producer and creates songs worth noting from various figures who have shone throughout the year. It is a project featuring G-Dragon, who has not appeared frequently in variety shows, and there were high expectations for the meeting with 'Infinite Challenge' producer Kim Tae-ho.
Above all, 'Good Day' attracted attention by featuring many stars who have been hard to see in variety shows, including G-Dragon. Among them, the most talked-about cast members were the '88 line', which includes G-Dragon and people of the same age. These were styles that are not easy to gather, namely Kwanghee, Jung Haein, Lee Soo-hyuk, Yim Siwan, and Kim Soo-hyun.
Thus, 'Good Day', which was drawing more interest, faced an unexpected controversy. The issue arose as Kim Soo-hyun, a central member of the 88 line, was embroiled in allegations that he had been in a relationship with the late Kim Sae-ron since she was underage for six years. Consequently, 'Good Day' inevitably suffered damage.
Despite the controversy, Kim Soo-hyun proceeded with the recording on the 13th. An official from 'Good Day' stated to OSEN, "Kim Soo-hyun minimized his scheduled commitments and proceeded as planned." While it was initially reported that Kim Soo-hyun would not participate in the recording, he managed to fulfill the schedule as planned, showing actions unrelated to the controversy.
However, G-Dragon seems to have had a different perspective than Kim Soo-hyun. He reportedly liked the departure vote for 'Good Day' regarding Kim Soo-hyun, who is facing allegations of 'minor grooming.'
On the 13th, a Taiwanese social media account that covers news in the Korean entertainment industry posted a poll regarding Kim Soo-hyun's departure from 'Good Day'. The poll included four answers: 'It seems G-Dragon will have a hard time', 'Supporting Kim Soo-hyun's departure', 'Supporting his retirement from the entertainment industry', and 'I will wait for Kim Soo-hyun.' It was reported that G-Dragon liked the response, 'It seems G-Dragon will have a hard time.' This has led to opinions suggesting that G-Dragon is aware of the controversy surrounding Kim Soo-hyun and has expressed discomfort about it. G-Dragon has currently canceled the 'like'.
Earlier, the YouTube channel 'Garo- seo Research Institute' claimed to have received tips from the family of the late Kim Sae-ron since the 10th, alleging a romantic relationship between Kim Soo-hyun and the late Kim Sae-ron (accusations of a minor relationship). The 'Garo- seo Research Institute' has released photos and handwritten letters presumed to be of Kim Soo-hyun and Kim Sae-ron as a couple, while Kim Soo-hyun's side stated, "We will clarify the factual relationship and provide a response to unfounded rumors based on clear evidence next week."
