Korea’s Highest-Paid Actor Turns into a Comedy Genius, Constantly “Embarrassed” Next to G-Dragon
On February 16, the first episode of “Good Day”, a new reality show hosted by G-Dragon, officially aired. “Good Day” is a music variety show where G-Dragon takes on the role of a producer, collaborating with figures from various entertainment fields in Korea. Together with PD Kim Tae-ho and his guests, he will engage in fun activities, conversations, and ultimately create a song. The first episode immediately recorded impressive ratings during prime time in Korea, becoming a hot topic on K-pop forums.
This episode featured G-Dragon meeting a lineup of top male stars born in 1988, including Kim Soo-hyun, Jung Hae-in, Im Si-wan, Kwanghee and his close friend Lee Soo-hyuk. Among them, the hilarious chemistry between Kim Soo-hyun and G-Dragon stole the spotlight. The “Queen of Tears” actor’s quirky and playful personality turned out to be a perfect match for the K-pop legend.
Before their official meeting, both G-Dragon and Kim Soo-hyun had an awkward history. As G-Dragon revealed, his current legal advisor happens to have the same name as Kim Soo-hyun. Because of this, he once mistakenly dialed the actor’s number instead of his advisor’s, leading to a three-minute conversation. In that brief call, they even discussed their personal interests.
In “Good Day”’s first episode, the 1988-born stars reunited, chatting and bonding like longtime friends on a vacation together. Kim Soo-hyun had viewers in stitches when he hilariously butchered Taeyang’s “Eyes, Nose, Lips”. His loud and exaggerated way of calling out to Jung Hae-in also became a viral moment on K-pop forums.
Alongside G-Dragon, Korea’s highest-paid actor had numerous comedic moments, making exaggerated gestures and expressions to the point that even fans felt secondhand embarrassment. On-screen, he is a celebrated and powerful actor, but among his peers, Kim Soo-hyun wasn’t afraid to unleash his full “entertainment warrior” mode. Recognizing his natural comedic flair, fans are now calling for a dedicated reality show just for Kim Soo-hyun to showcase his hilarious antics freely.
