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?

Seo Ye Ji is facing major backlash after her surprising appearance on SNL Korea 7.

On April 12, Seo Ye Ji made her long-awaited return to variety shows by guest-starring on Coupang Play's SNL Korea Season 7.

Before the show started, she made jaws drop by joking, "I'll gaslight the SNL crew and make it fun," referencing her own past controversies.

During the "Seo Ye GPT" segment, Seo Ye Ji played an AI that helped Kim Won Hoon nail a company presentation. She then made a sharp comment, saying, "The truly embarrassing thing is sitting quietly and being talked about behind your back. I've experienced that a lot," hinting at the criticism she’s faced.

In the "Eve Hair Salon" skit, Seo Ye Ji acted as a salon director and joked about her past "Kim Ddak Ddak" scandal, where she was accused of controlling her then-boyfriend Kim Jung Hyun. When a character mentioned her stiff neck, she responded, "It's firm," making everyone laugh but also stirring mixed feelings.

Fans were shocked to see Seo Ye Ji using her past scandals as comedy material, especially since it’s been eight years since her last variety show appearance. Many pointed out that joking about serious accusations like gaslighting and academic fraud might have gone too far.

The controversy over Seo Ye Ji’s education also came back into the spotlight. She had previously claimed she studied abroad in Spain, but in 2021 it was revealed she never actually attended the university she mentioned.

Her agency explained she was accepted but didn’t attend because of her career in Korea, but many netizens weren’t convinced.

On SNL Korea, Seo Ye Ji even played a character who lied about her past to impress a boyfriend, making fans think of her real-life academic background scandal.

After the episode aired, reactions online exploded. Some comments included, "Falsifying academic background is a crime," "This was too much," "It was funny though," "Let’s forgive it since it’s black comedy," and "Why was Seo Ye Ji the first guest?"

Seo Ye Ji’s bold jokes have definitely split public opinion, with some calling it brave and others saying it only reopened old wounds.
