Actor Kim Soo Hyun is officially skipping filming for MBC’s variety show Good Day on March 13, and many are now wondering—is he being removed from the show for good?

On March 12, Maeil Business Newspaper reported that Good Day will continue filming as scheduled on March 13—but Kim Soo Hyun will NOT be there.

Although he already filmed his segments on February 27, discussions are now underway on whether to edit out his footage completely. With the controversy surrounding his alleged relationship with the late Kim Sae Ron, it seems like the show may be cutting ties with him.

Not only does this impact the final broadcast, but even the soundtrack featuring Kim Soo Hyun may need changes. Many believe that after growing backlash, it will be difficult for him to continue appearing on major TV networks.

Good Day is a high-profile music variety show featuring G-Dragon, where he collaborates with various figures to create the song of the year. The program marks PD Kim Tae Ho’s return to MBC and G-Dragon’s first regular variety show in years.

Kim Soo Hyun played a major role in forming the "88z" crew, which includes:
Hwang Kwang Hee
Lee Soo Hyuk
Jung Hae In
Im Si Wan
G-Dragon

Because of his close ties to the members, he was one of the key cast members. However, with the growing controversy over his personal life with Kim Sae Ron, public sentiment has turned against him, and calls for his removal have intensified.

Previously, YouTube channel Garo Sero Institute (Gaseyeon) claimed that:
Kim Soo Hyun and Kim Sae Ron were in a romantic relationship for 6 years
They allegedly started dating in 2015, when Kim Sae Ron was 15 years old (still a minor)
Kim Soo Hyun was 27 at the time—a 12-year age gap
He allegedly pressured her along with YouTuber Lee Jin Ho
His agency’s response to the accusations was unreasonable

Later, Gaseyeon released more “evidence”, including:
Photos of the two showing physical affection
Messages reportedly sent by Kim Sae Ron to Kim Soo Hyun
A handwritten letter allegedly written by Kim Soo Hyun during his military service, sent to Kim Sae Ron

Despite the controversy, Kim Soo Hyun’s agency, Gold Medalist, is fighting back. They released a strong statement, saying:

"Many of the claims made against our company and Kim Soo Hyun are malicious."

They also warned:

"We are reviewing the strongest possible legal action against these baseless rumors, as we cannot let them go unchallenged."

Even after Gaseyeon dropped more allegations and evidence, Gold Medalist refused to change its stance, saying:

"Our official position remains unchanged."

With brands dropping him, his ads being removed, and now his future on Good Day uncertain, many are wondering—is this the end of his career?

Red Velvet’s Yeri has touched fans with a heartfelt tribute to her late friend Kim Sae Ron.

On March 12, Yeri posted a photo on her social media, showing herself with a woman believed to be Kim Sae Ron. The two were seen affectionately linking arms, reminding fans of their close friendship.

But what really caught attention was the message Yeri shared alongside the photo. She included lyrics from Jennie’s song "Slow Motion (feat. Zico)", which has gained meaning after Jennie revealed she wrote it "for one special friend."

Yeri specifically highlighted this line:
"I didn't leave ya, I still see ya."

Yeri and Kim Sae Ron were known to be best friends in the entertainment industry. Their bond was so strong that when Yeri took her first-ever vacation, she chose to travel to Bali with Kim Sae Ron.

Seeing Yeri’s emotional post, fans left messages of support, saying:
"This is so heartbreaking..."
"Yeri and Sae Ron had such a precious friendship."
"We miss you, Sae Ron."

Meanwhile, Kim Sae Ron’s family recently made shocking claims through the YouTube channel Garo Sero Institute. They alleged that she had been in a six-year relationship with Kim Soo Hyun since she was 15 years old and that her former agency, Gold Medalist, initially covered the ₩700 million KRW (~$530,000 USD) for her DUI accident, only to later demand repayment after her contract ended.

It was also claimed that Kim Sae Ron had posted an old photo with Kim Soo Hyun in an attempt to get in contact with him or his agency, as they had allegedly cut her off.

However, Gold Medalist firmly denied all allegations, stating, “The claims made by Garo Sero Institute regarding actor Kim Soo Hyun are completely false.”

As more details continue to unfold, fans are remembering Kim Sae Ron for the person she was, not just the controversies surrounding her. Yeri’s post has reminded everyone of the beautiful friendships she had in the industry.
