Weeks after MBC's variety show Good Day announced that it would cut actor Kim Soo-hyun's segment, the removal has now been finalized. According to a report by Korea Joongang Daily, Soo-hyun "was entirely edited out" of the episode that aired on Sunday, in light of the ongoing controversy involving Kim Sae-ron.

Kim Soo-hyun's footage removed from show

The actor took part in the filming a few weeks prior. According to the report, none of his scenes were included in the final episode that aired last week. This encompassed his involvement in a group recording session for "Telepathy," a popular song from 1988 by the duo City Boys, as well as a celebrity auction.

How his segment was edited out

In a segment starring CL of 2NE1, Soo-hyun could was seen sitting in the centre of a group shot. But producers edited the image to make sure he did not appear on screen at all. The episode also had a voice directing scene by singer G-Dragon. Fellow cast members Yim Si-wan, Code Kunst, Jung Hae-in, Hwang Kwang-hee, Jo Se-ho, and members of band DAY6 recorded individually. However, Soo-hyun wasn't part of it.

Last month, Soo-hyun had appeared in a group shot during the show’s broadcast. He took part in shooting the program on March 13, too, amid massive criticism. The production team of Good Day had then said it "decided to edit out Kim Soo Hyun’s appearances as much as possible. Additionally, the individual recording session involving the cast member on March 13 will not be aired".

Last month, Soo-hyun refuted accusations of having dated Sae-ron when she was underage. He dismissed assertions that either he or his agency exerted pressure that contributed to her death. Additionally, he raised doubts about the validity of KakaoTalk messages from 2016 and 2018 that were made public by Sae-ron's family. Soo-hyun has initiated both civil and criminal legal actions, demanding 12 billion won ($8.2 million) in compensation.
