MBC’s Good Day has officially announced that they will edit out Kim Soo Hyun’s appearances as much as possible following his recent controversy.

On March 17, the production team released a statement through their channel, saying, “First, we sincerely apologize for causing concern to 'Good Day' viewers. The production team is aware of the seriousness of the situation involving one of our cast members and is prioritizing the opinions of viewers.”

They explained that since Good Day is a pre-recorded show, episodes are completed at least one to two weeks in advance for translation and international streaming.

They stated, “Episode 5, which aired yesterday, had already been submitted for translation when the controversy escalated. However, after discussions with MBC and global OTT platforms, we urgently re-edited the broadcast to remove Kim Soo Hyun’s appearance in the ‘Good Day General Assembly’ segment. As a result, the episode was about 10 minutes shorter than usual, and some details were missing.”

Regarding Kim Soo Hyun’s participation in the March 13 recording, the team said, “At the time, his agency informed us that they would release a statement the following week and that scheduling future recordings would be difficult. After much deliberation, we proceeded with the recording but took care to edit out his portions and film separately from the other cast members.”

The statement concluded with, "We sincerely apologize for any distress this has caused 'Good Day' viewers. The production team has decided to minimize Kim Soo Hyun’s appearance as much as possible, and his individual recording from March 13 will not be aired.”

The NewJeans contract dispute is getting more intense, and now, some fans have started a truck protest urging ADOR to talk things out.

On March 27, trucks were spotted in front of HYBE’s headquarters in Yongsan, Seoul, displaying messages like “We respect NewJeans, but we can’t let them walk a dangerous path” and “NewJeans has 6 members, but the penalty is for 5.”

These protesting fans are worried about NewJeans’ decision to keep fighting the lawsuit despite the court already ruling in ADOR’s favor. They warn that if NewJeans loses the main case, the financial penalty could be massive.

The court previously dismissed the group’s claims for contract termination, raising concerns that the members could face even bigger disadvantages in the next trial.

NewJeans first notified ADOR of their contract termination last November and later rebranded as NJZ, preparing for independent activities.

However, the court sided with ADOR, stating there was "not enough reason to justify ending the contract." Despite this, NewJeans has filed an objection, and a new hearing is set for April 9.

The group firmly claims that “trust with ADOR is completely broken, and we cannot work together anymore.” But inside the fandom, opinions are split—some want to support the members no matter what, while others worry that “this fight might only hurt them in the end.”
