MBC’s new variety show “Good Day” has released a new teaser for its highly anticipated first episode!

Helmed by “Infinite Challenge” PD Kim Tae Ho, “Good Day” is a music project where G-Dragon collaborates with various individuals from different fields to create the song of the year. Taking on the role of producer, G-Dragon will transform their stories into music, offering viewers an in-depth look at his creative process through a reality show format.

The newly released teaser highlights the diverse and unexpected meetings that unfold for G-Dragon’s music project, setting the stage for an exciting premiere.

One of the most anticipated reunions is between G-Dragon and Jung Hyung Don, whose legendary chemistry on “Infinite Challenge” remains unforgettable. Their long-awaited meetup exudes a hilarious heart-fluttering tension, almost reminiscent of a dating reality show.

But the nostalgia takes a comedic turn when Defconn suddenly tells G-Dragon, “You should join the celebrity special of ‘I Am Solo‘!” Laughing, G-Dragon jokes, “But I am indeed solo right now!” Jung Hyung Don, feigning jealousy, quips, “Are you moving on already?”—leading to bursts of laughter.

Another clip features Kian84, who finally fulfills his dream of meeting G-Dragon. His quirky personality shines through as he bombards G-Dragon with endless curiosity, even going so far as to dream up a new unit with G-Dragon and Code Kunst.

Meanwhile, G-Dragon’s long-awaited meeting with fellow 1988-born star Kim Soo Hyun is also revealed. Instantly clicking, the two expand their “’88 Universe” by planning get-togethers with other celebrity peers, including Jung Hae In, Yim Si Wan, Lee Soo Hyuk, and Kwanghee, raising anticipation for more star-studded moments.

Watch the teaser below!

“Good Day” will premiere on February 16 at 9:10 p.m. KST.
