The variety show Good Day, led by G-Dragon, is back with a special episode after a one-week break, but Kim Soo Hyun is nowhere to be seen—leaving fans wondering if he was cut out.

On March 25, Good Day released a preview on the YouTube channel TEO, showing G-Dragon, Jo Se Ho, Hwang Jung Min, Hwang Kwang Hee, Hong Jin Kyung, Aiki, and Defconn gathering for a fun-filled general assembly.

Jo Se Ho warmly greeted Hwang Jung Min, saying, “It’s been a while,” while Kwang Hee excitedly asked, “Can you take a photo with me?” reminiscing about the past. G-Dragon also held an auction of his personal items, sparking a fierce bidding war.

Hong Jin Kyung, who lost out on an item, humorously shouted, “It’s not over yet!” adding to the fun. aespa also made a surprise guest appearance, bringing even more energy to the show.

At one point, G-Dragon even showed off his dance moves, but when the response was lukewarm, he jokingly said, “I apologize,” making everyone laugh.

But the biggest surprise? Kim Soo Hyun was completely absent.

Although he briefly appeared in a previous episode with no lines and minimal screen time, this time, he was nowhere to be found in the teaser.

Kim Soo Hyun recently made headlines over dating rumors with the late Kim Sae Ron, which led Good Day to take a sudden one-week hiatus. MBC claimed it was for “program reorganization,” but many believe the extra time was actually spent editing the show.

Fans speculate that the production team either minimized or entirely removed Kim Soo Hyun’s footage due to the controversy. Many expressed disappointment, saying, “Kim Soo Hyun made the effort to appear, but he’s completely gone now,” and “Editing must have been so difficult.”

Meanwhile, Good Day will officially return on March 30 at 9:10 PM KST on MBC, and viewers are eager to see how the highly anticipated episode unfolds.

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.”
