Kim Soo-hyun’s footage removed from show
The actor had participated in the filming a few weeks ago. As per the report, none of his scenes made it to the final episode, which was aired last week. These included him being part of a group recording session of Telepathy, a 1988 hit by the duo City Boys and a celebrity auction.
How his segment was edited out
In a segment starring CL of 2NE1, Soo-hyun could was seen sitting in the centre of a group shot. But producers edited the image to make sure he did not appear on screen at all. The episode also had a voice directing scene by singer G-Dragon. Fellow cast members Yim Si-wan, Code Kunst, Jung Hae-in, Hwang Kwang-hee, Jo Se-ho, and members of band DAY6 recorded individually. However, Soo-hyun wasn’t part of it.
Last month, Soo-hyun had appeared in a group shot during the show’s broadcast. He took part in shooting the program on March 13, too, amid massive criticism. The production team of Good Day had then said it “decided to edit out Kim Soo Hyun’s appearances as much as possible. Additionally, the individual recording session involving the cast member on March 13 will not be aired”.
