A tense behind-the-scenes moment between G-Dragon and actor Jung Hae-in during a recent episode of the variety show Good Day has gone viral, drawing widespread attention to the BIGBANG leader's perfectionist reputation.

In the episode, which aired April 6, cast members began recording a collaborative track designed to reflect the show's core message of positivity.

However, tensions flared when Jung Hae-in stepped into the recording booth and was met with unexpected criticism from G-Dragon, whose demeanor shifted from cheerful to serious.

Visibly displeased with Jung's delivery, G-Dragon paused the session and walked into the booth to give direct feedback.

The moment quickly circulated across online forums and social media, where fans expressed mixed reactions—some sympathizing with Jung, others praising G-Dragon's high standards.

While the exchange was brief, it highlighted a stark contrast in G-Dragon's dual image: the lighthearted host and the uncompromising producer.

Longtime fans were unsurprised, noting that G-Dragon's studio persona has always been marked by intensity and precision.

"Known for his fastidious approach to music, this incident only reinforces the reputation he's built over two decades, as a producer who accepts nothing short of excellence," the show's narrator said during the episode.

The viral moment comes as Good Day nears its finale.

The variety program, which marks G-Dragon's return to hosting after an eight-year hiatus, features a rotating guest list of high-profile celebrities and aims to deliver uplifting messages through music and conversation.

Despite its feel-good premise, the show has faced challenges.

Earlier episodes were delayed and re-edited due to controversy surrounding cast member Kim Soo-hyun's dating scandal, which led producers to reduce his on-screen presence.

The final group performance is expected to include "88-liners" — celebrities born in 1988, including G-Dragon, Jung Hae-in, and Lee Soo-hyuk — as well as guest appearances from stars like IU, SEVENTEEN's BSS, aespa, and Kim Go-eun.

Insiders tease the finale track will be "vibrant and joyful," embodying the optimistic spirit of Good Day.

Still, it is G-Dragon's drive for perfection that remains at the center of online buzz.

"Fans witnessed a stark contrast between G-Dragon's usual cheerful personality and his no-nonsense demeanor in the studio," one fan posted on X (formerly Twitter).

"That's the duality that's kept him on top for 20 years."
