Did G-Dragon just throw shade at Kim Soo Hyun… or was it just a mistake?

The BIGBANG star recently liked a post about Kim Soo Hyun getting dropped from MBC’s variety show Good Day, but then quickly unliked it, leaving fans buzzing with speculation!

On March 13, a Taiwanese entertainment account posted about Kim Soo Hyun’s exit from Good Day, questioning if the ‘88-line’ group (which includes G-Dragon, Lee Soo Hyuk, Im Si Wan, Hwang Kwang Hee, and Jung Hae In) was now at risk of disbanding. The post stated:

“Kim Soo Hyun’s departure confirmed, ’88-line’ at risk of disbanding? Filming was completed, but his footage might be cut. His return to broadcasting seems difficult. What do you think?”

As soon as netizens noticed, the speculation began:
“Did he just confirm the rumors?”
“Is he shading Kim Soo Hyun?”
“Maybe he just liked it by mistake?”

As the post started trending, G-Dragon suddenly removed his like! Some fans believe he realized the public reaction and quickly took it back, while others think he might have just liked it by accident while scrolling.

The original poster even reacted, saying:

“G-Dragon’s one ‘like’ is now a huge topic in Korea and China, even trending No. 1 in real-time searches! And now, BREAKING NEWS—he just unliked it!”

Kim Soo Hyun’s departure from Good Day comes amid serious controversy. He was caught up in dating rumors with the late actress Kim Sae Ron, with claims that they had been in a relationship since she was a minor.

More shocking accusations surfaced, stating that Kim Soo Hyun lent Kim Sae Ron 700 million KRW after her DUI scandal but later demanded repayment. As public backlash grew, MBC reportedly dropped him from Good Day.

Kim Soo Hyun’s agency, Gold Medalist, has yet to release a full statement, only saying:
“We will share an official response next week based on clear evidence.”

Meanwhile, despite his supposed departure, reports claim Kim Soo Hyun still attended the March 13 recording of Good Day. The production team commented:
“Filming was minimized.”

After hearing Kim Soo Hyun still participated in the recording, angry viewers flooded MBC’s message board with complaints:

“Do they think we’re pushovers? I’m boycotting all of Kim Tae Ho’s shows forever.”
“Is MBC out of their minds?”
“At least have some basic moral standards!”

MBC’s Good Day*, led by famous PD Kim Tae Ho, was originally hyped for being centered around G-Dragon and featuring his close friends like Jung Hyung Don and Defconn. The show has been No. 1 in non-drama TV buzz, but now, it’s caught up in a storm of controversy!

With G-Dragon’s like-unlike moment adding fuel to the fire, fans are now asking—was it just a slip of the finger, or does he know something we don’t?

Kim Soo Hyun has admitted to dating the late Kim Sae Ron but strongly denies that their relationship began when she was a minor.

On March 14, Kim Soo Hyun’s agency, Gold Medalist, released a statement saying, “Kim Soo Hyun and Kim Sae Ron dated from the summer of 2019, after she became an adult, until the fall of 2020.” They emphasized, “The claim that he was in a relationship with her when she was a minor is not true.”

The agency also clarified that the photos of the two, which were revealed by Garo Sero Research Institute (Gaseyeon) and Kim Sae Ron herself, were taken in 2020 when she was already of legal age.

Regarding the legal implications of the allegations, lawyer Lee Go Eun appeared on YTN News to discuss whether Kim Soo Hyun could face charges if it were proven that he had been in a relationship with Kim Sae Ron when she was underage.

When asked about the possibility of legal punishment, Lee explained, “Under the law revised in May 2020, any physical relationship with a minor under the age of 16, even with consent, could lead to serious charges.”

However, she pointed out a key legal detail, saying, “Before the 2020 revision, the law applied only to minors under 13 years old. Since Kim Sae Ron was 15 in 2015, the legal framework at the time does not classify her as a protected minor in this context.”

Lee concluded, “Given the laws in place at the time, it seems difficult for Kim Soo Hyun to face legal consequences.”

She further added, “For any case to proceed against him, there would need to be clear evidence of more than just dating. Based on what is currently known, holding him legally accountable may be challenging.”
