G-Dragon’s Cryptic Post Amid “Good Day” Cancellation: “Wake Up In This Harsh World”
With MBC’s “Good Day“ facing backlash and an unexpected cancellation, G-Dragon broke his silence kind of. In particular, on March 20, G-Dragon uploaded a cryptic image to his private Instagram account. The scene, taken from a 2012 episode of “Infinite Challenge”, shows comedian HaHa with the caption, “Wake up in this harsh world.”
The timing and choice of quote didn’t go unnoticed, as fans and netizens quickly linked the post to the current turmoil surrounding “Good Day”, G-Dragon’s highly anticipated return to variety TV. The music-based project show, where he collaborates with diverse figures to create songs symbolizing 2025, was set to air its 6th episode on March 23.
However, this won’t be happening, as MBC confirmed on the same day, “We’re taking a week off to reorganize the program.” In its place, a special episode of “I Live Alone” will air.
Why the break? All eyes are on actor Kim Soo Hyun, a cast member entangled in rumors of a past relationship with the late actress Kim Sae Ron. As public criticism mounts, producers attempted to edit out Kim Soo Hyun’s parts. However, insiders revealed that due to the scale of pre-recorded content, this proved difficult.
One statement from production on March 17 read, “If the controversy continues, it could damage the program’s purpose and the sincerity of other cast members.” Despite these efforts, backlash didn’t die down forcing the show to hit pause.
Reactions to G-Dragon’s post have been mixed. Some fans interpreted it as the singer’s reaction to the drama, while others caution against reading too deeply into it. Below are some of their comments:
- He’s clearly frustrated but can’t say much openly.
- That quote hit different given everything going on.
- Is he subtly shading MBC or Kim Soo Hyun?
- Well, this may be just a coincidence, let’s not overanalyze it
While G-Dragon hasn’t made a direct statement, his post has fueled more speculation. Whether it’s just a moment of reflection or a silent protest, one thing’s for sure—this isn’t the comeback he or fans expected.
