MBC entertainment program "Good Day" started broadcasting with many people's expectations, but it is not going smoothly due to an unexpected controversy. While Cho Se-ho imitated Wheesung's "Can't I?" suddenly the sad news of the late Wheesung was reported, and Kim Soo-hyun, a cast member, was also involved in the rumor of a romantic relationship with the late Kim Sae-ron.

According to the broadcaster, 'Good Day' will edit a scene in which Cho Se-ho imitates Wheesung's 'Can't I?' The scene was released in the trailer for the 5th episode, which will air on the 16th, but this scene has also been edited.

The trailer, which was originally released on the 9th, showed G-Dragon visiting karaoke rooms with Cho Se-ho, Kim Go-eun, and Jung Hae-in. Cho Se-ho, who had been laughing at Wheesung impersonation on various entertainment programs in the past, also showed off his usual personal skills by singing Wheesung's "Can't I?"




This scene became a problem when the sad news of the deceased was reported on the 10th. Some pointed out that it could be seen as mocking the deceased. Of course, Wheesung said in a broadcast in 2016 that `The impersonation of Jo Se-ho initially felt ridiculous, but now the university event is not interrupted thanks to him.'

However, in honor of the deceased, 'Good Day' decided to remove the scene. Currently, this scene is not found in the 5th episode trailer. It will also be edited on the main broadcast on the 16th, so it is not expected to be seen.

On the other hand, the controversy over Kim Soo-hyun's personal life, which was recently raised, is also a concern for 'Good Day'. This is because it was claimed that Kim Soo-hyun had been dating since the late actor Kim Sae-ron was a minor. On top of that, Kim Sae-ron, who suffered from a life hardship due to a drunk traffic accident, borrowed 700 million won from Kim Soo-hyun to deal with the accident, but public opinion is not good because Kim Soo-hyun asked Kim Sae-ron to repay it.




Some say that Kim Soo-hyun effectively dropped out of 'Good Day'. In this regard, 'Good Day' said "Confirming". It is still interpreted as a cautious position to conclude the departure.

Above all, circumstantial evidence about the romantic relationship continues to emerge, but it seems that Kim Soo-hyun's position has not yet been revealed. Kim Soo-hyun, a gold medalist at his agency who had been insisting that the dating rumors were `groundless,' said on the 13th that he will make his position known next week based on clear grounds.

In addition, Kim Soo-hyun's large proportion of 'Good Day' is also a matter to be cautious about 'whether to get off or not'. With G-Dragon as the center, Kim Soo-hyun, Lee Soo-hyuk, Lim Si-wan, Hwang Kwang-hee, and Jung Hae-in gathered under the concept of `I'm Solo.' It gave viewers a big laugh under the name of `88 countries.' If Kim Soo-hyun is suddenly removed, there may be a big hole in the story structure.




Fortunately, most of the episodes were completed on the 2nd. However, 'Good Day' is a music project in which G-Dragon completes this year's song with people from various fields, so the whereabouts of Kim Soo-hyun's recording have become unknown. Although it is known that the recording has already been completed, the production team is expected to decide whether to edit Kim Soo-hyun's voice after looking at the agency's position in the future.

'Good Day' received great attention even before its start in that it is a return to MBC and a G-Dragon-centered entertainment show. On top of that, G-Dragon's 「Best Friend" Jeong Hyeong-don and Defconn joined, and famous stars from various fields have also appeared, maintaining the"non-drama TV topicality" since the first broadcast.

But unexpected events held back 'Good Day'. Now, it remains to be seen how 'Good Day', which turned a turning point with only four episodes left, will overcome these difficulties. MBC 'Good Day' airs every Sunday at 9:10 p.m.
