Big Bang's G-Dragon is currently appearing on the variety show "Good Day," which is being canceled due to actor Kim Soo-hyun's personal life controversy, while G-Dragon's meaningful SNS is attracting attention.
On the 20th, G-Dragon's SNS sub-account posted a scene from MBC's variety show "Infinite Challenge" with the caption "Get your act together in this harsh world." This scene is from a past episode of "Infinite Challenge" where participant Haha made remarks that have been continually discussed as a so-called "meme." G-Dragon's SNS sub-account has consistently featured various scenes from "Infinite Challenge." This time, the witty expression caught the attention of fans.
In fact, G-Dragon's SNS sub-account is known to be operated by his staff. Previously, during Jeong Hyung Don's appearance on "Good Day," a photo of G-Dragon and Jeong Hyung Don was also revealed on the sub-account, hinting at G-Dragon's activities.
In particular, this time there was an even stronger reaction due to G-Dragon's appearance on the MBC variety show "Good Day." This is because actor Kim Soo-hyun, who appeared alongside G-Dragon on "Good Day," has been embroiled in a personal life controversy and is facing severe criticism.
Kim Soo-hyun is sparking heated debate due to being a former lover of the late actor Kim Sae-ron, who recently passed away. Kim Sae-ron's bereaved family has raised allegations of "grooming misconduct," stating that adult Kim Soo-hyun was in a romantic relationship for about six years starting from Kim Sae-ron's third year of middle school. In contrast, Kim Soo-hyun's side maintains that there were no issues, stating that their relationship started in the summer of 2019, after Kim Sae-ron had become an adult.
Meanwhile, the bereaved family of Kim Sae-ron continues to reveal various past photos of Kim Soo-hyun and Kim Sae-ron through the YouTube channel "Garosero Research Institute." In response, Kim Soo-hyun's side declared a strong legal countermeasure, asserting "defamation through false facts," yet public criticism continues to boil.
In the meantime, criticism has also poured in toward "Good Day," in which Kim Soo-hyun is currently appearing. As a result, during the airing of the 5th episode of "Good Day" on the 16th, Kim Soo-hyun's footage was heavily edited, and he only appeared in a group shot, leading to this episode being about 10 minutes shorter than the usual broadcast. Nevertheless, as criticism toward the program continued, the "Good Day" team noted that they recognize the seriousness of viewer reactions regarding the controversy over the participants, and they postponed the airing of the 6th episode, originally scheduled for the 23rd. This was interpreted as a measure for editing the pre-recorded footage of Kim Soo-hyun and to ensure the quality of the program.
Amidst this, a "meme" featuring the phrase "Get your act together in this harsh world" appeared on G-Dragon's SNS sub-account. Since "Good Day" is also produced by Kim Tae-ho, who directed "Infinite Challenge," and because G-Dragon's related accounts often communicate through witty expressions and various memes from "Infinite Challenge," there has been a reaction that this was a meaningful remark.
