Following the show, the release of the Good Day 2025 song and music video is scheduled for April 24, and all proceeds will go toward supporting underprivileged children, teens, and communities in need. In reaction to an ongoing scandal involving Kim Soo-hyun, and after consulting MBC and global OTT platforms airing the show, the production team has decided to edit episode 5 "urgently to remove Kim Soo Hyun's footage" the day before its release, making the episode "approximately 10 minutes shorter than usual and lacked some details", although two days before, on March 13, a representative from the show stated that the filming proceeded as scheduled with Kim Soo-hyun but his participation was minimized. On the 17th, with the controversy still growing, the production company announced via an official statement that they will edit out as much of Kim's screen time as possible going forward, prioritizing viewer reactions. In consequence, the individual recording session sequence involving Kim filmed on March 13 will not be aired, and episode 6, which was scheduled to air on March 23, has been postponed for a week to "reorganize the program".
