The MBC entertainment program 'Good Day' noted, "We have decided to minimize editing of Kim Soo-hyun's grants segment" and apologized to viewers.

The 'Good Day' team informed on their official social media on the 17th, "The production team recognizes the seriousness of the controversy surrounding 'Good Day' participants and is continuing production while prioritizing viewer feedback."

It explained, "'Good Day' is a program pre-produced one to two weeks before the broadcast, due to translation procedures related to international broadcasting/distribution. The fifth episode broadcast yesterday was quickly edited and re-submitted, immediately incorporating the grants segment of Kim Soo-hyun in the 'Good Day General Assembly' in a version already in translation, after the controversy escalated for MBC and global OTT and other platform discussions. As a result, the fifth episode was about 10 minutes shorter in broadcast length compared to previous episodes, and the details were insufficient."

It added, "Regarding the recording conducted on March 13, the production team was faced with the situation where the 'Good Day' audio recording was delayed beyond the schedule, waiting for an official position from Kim Soo-hyun's agency concerning the controversy. However, due to the agency indicating that they would make a statement next week (as of March 13) and the challenge of securing participant schedules afterward, the production team had no choice but to proceed with the recording after careful consideration. The production team conducted the recording and sketch filming, considering volume deletion and making sure it did not overlap as much as possible with other participants. They sincerely apologized, stating, "We are truly sorry for causing concern to those who love 'Good Day.'"

Finally, the 'Good Day' team stated, "As long as the controversy related to participants continues, we believe that the purpose of 'Good Day,' which started with good intentions, as well as the heartfelt sentiments of the participants who genuinely participated, and the love of viewers who empathize and support will continue to be tarnished. The content revealed from the latter half of the fifth episode yesterday was filmed on February 18 and will unfold over six to seven episodes, while the production team has decided to minimize editing of Kim Soo-hyun's grants segment. The individual recording process for the relevant participant on March 13 will not be aired." They added, "We will do our utmost to ensure that the remaining broadcasts can provide joy to viewers and remain a program that can connect with good days and good people."

Meanwhile, Kim Soo-hyun was recently embroiled in allegations that they dated Kim Sae-ron from when she was a minor, to which they responded, "We dated when Kim Sae-ron became an adult." However, the controversy surrounding him continues.
