G-Dragon’s new variety show “Good Day” has previewed its upcoming 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 preview for episode 2 highlights the highly-anticipated meeting between G-Dragon and fellow 1988-born stars Kim Soo Hyun, Jung Hae In, Yim Si Wan, Lee Soo Hyuk, and Kwanghee.

Taking on the “I Am Solo” concept, Kim Soo Hyun greets the other celebrities by introducing himself. He shares, “I’m Kim Soo Hyun, born in 1988. For now, I am an actor. You all look like familiar faces.”

When it’s G-Dragon’s turn to join, he shyly tries to blend in, only to be told to introduce himself. When G-Dragon continues to look lost as to what to do, Kim Soo Hyun comes to the rescue by clapping and shouting, “Okay, you pass!”

As the members get to know each other, Yim Si Wan suggests, “Let’s talk informally.” Kwanghee attempts to break the ice further by showing photos that he took after exercising, only for the others to jokingly express disinterest in the photo.

Check out the preview below!

The next episode of “Good Day” airs on February 23 at 9:10 p.m. KST.

While waiting, watch Kim Soo Hyun in “My Love From the Star”:
