Heralded as G-Dragon's inaugural solo entertainment show,[1] Good Day—a variety program crafted in the format of a reality show[2]— was helmed by Kim Tae-ho, the renowned producer of Infinite Challenge (2005–2018).[3] It marked the two's first reunion since their long-standing collaborations on the program, including appearances in the show's music competitions and episodes like "Muhan Sangsa".[1] This venture marks Kim's first return to MBC in three years since his last work Hangout with Yoo;[4] before resigning from the broadcasting network in 2021 to establish his own production company TEO that same year.[3]
