Popular K-drama star Kim Soo Hyun has been under major scrutiny these days. While many thought the situation would become light for him with time, his recent involvement in G-Dragon’s music variety show has the media calling him out again. The show, which was anticipated to create buzzworthy commitment, ended up with a rating of 2.7 percent. Now outlets like News1, Wikitree, and more have blamed him for it due to the ongoing controversy with the late actor Kim Sae Ron.
Kim Soo Hyun Blamed For G-Dragon Show
G-Dragon’s music variety show was headlined by Jung Hae In, Im Siwan, Lee Soo Hyuk, Kim Soo Hyun and Kwanghee. After the premiere of the first episode of Good Day, their ratings soared quickly. But before the release of the following episodes, the It’s Okay Not To Be Okay came under major scrutiny for allegedly dating Kim Sae Ron, who was a minor at that point. After this, fans demanded that the producers remove his footage from the show.
Wikitree reported, “Despite the uproar, Kim Soo Hyun proceeded with filming on March 13 and appeared in the March 16 broadcast, sparking further backlash.” Due to the backlash, the producer announced that they would cut his footage and also not air individual recordings. They even skipped a week due to editing, however, this wasn’t enough to bring back viewers.
