Actor Kim Soo Hyun, a key participant in Good Day, is believed to be the main reason behind the sudden cancellation of the variety show's episode 6. Rumors about his past romantic relationship with the late actress Kim Sae Ron led to intense public scrutiny. As the controversy grew, much of Kim Soo Hyun's footage from Good Day was edited out. The production team faced increasing pressure, as the producers had originally planned to minimize his screen time through selective editing. However, this became difficult due to the large amount of pre-recorded material.
