Kim Soo Hyun’s dating scandal with Kim Sae Ron responsible for the downfall of Good Day?

The Queen of Tears actor Kim Soo Hyun is in the middle of a huge controversy for dating the late actress Kim Sae Ron while she was just a minor and the controversy will be far from over. In another sideline, MBC’s variety show Good Day has been making a hit, including BIGBANG’s G-Dragon, not just hosting but stepping in as a music producer. However, with big names like Jung Hae In, Im Siwan, Lee Soo Hyuk, and Kwanghee, the show had poor ratings.

On April 12, the show finished its final chapters and K-media blamed Kim Soo Hyun who guest-starred in several episodes as the reason for the show's poor ratings, due to the ongoing controversy with the late actor Kim Sae Ron. The show started doing great when it premiered on February 16, with an average nationwide rating of 4.3 percent .



The excitement surrounding G-Dragon's TV comeback was overshadowed by Kim Soo Hyun's dating controversy in early March, shifting the spotlight away from the anticipated return. With the ongoing controversy surrounding Kim Soo Hyun, the show still aired one episode featuring the actor but his screen time was limited. However, that brief moment triggered major backlash, not just toward MBC but also G-Dragon, who had been the face of the show.

Kim Soo Hyun’s appearance on the show quickly went viral and fans stormed the internet. According to Koreanboo, the rating of the show significantly dropped, with the last episode recording the lowest ratings at just 2.7 percent.

According to WikiTree, the controversy likely played a big part in the show’s ratings crash. Despite Kim Soo Hyun continuing to film, the intense backlash led producers to allegedly reduce his screen time by cutting as much of his footage as possible. As per News1, G-Dragon’s return to a variety music show itself was a hot topic, but all of it went downhill after Kim Soo Hyun’s public scrutiny.

All of this impacted the show’s rating and reputation badly..
