MBC's 'Good Day' heralded a new tectonic shift by taking first place in viewership ratings for the 2049 demographic among Sunday entertainment programs from its first broadcast.

According to Nielsen Korea, a viewership survey company, on the 17th, the household viewership rating for the previous day's broadcast of 'Good Day' recorded 4.9% in the metropolitan area. The 2049 viewership rating, a key indicator that measures channel competitiveness and topicality, recorded 3.0%, beating out 'My Little Old Boy' to take first place in the same time slot, and taking first place overall on Sundays among all programs, including dramas and variety shows. The best minute was the preview scene of '88 Nation', where G-Dragon, Kim Soo-hyun, Jung Hae-in, Im Si-wan, Lee Soo-hyuk, and Kwanghee gather, and the highest viewership rating per minute soared to 6.2%.

On the 'Good Day' broadcast on the 16th, G-Dragon's journey towards a music project to complete the song of the year with people from various fields began.

It started in June and July of last year, when G-Dragon was preparing for his first comeback in 7 years. G-Dragon said that one of the reasons he wanted to become a singer when he was young was because he missed the places where singers from both senior and junior sides would gather, such as the 'Teen Singer Festival', and he came up with a project that they could do together as a group.

The first people who G-Dragon would work with on a project were Dongmyo's Jung Hyung-don and Defconn, who had created a legend at the 'Infinite Challenge Music Festival' 11 years ago. G-Dragon revealed the reason why he first thought of the two as the 'planning team', saying, "As MCs of 'Weekly Idol', wouldn't they be able to play a key role in holding on to idols?"

G-Dragon, who headed to the Dongmyo of his memories, couldn't hide his subtle excitement, saying, "It's like a 'transfer love affair.'" In particular, Jung Hyung Don, who used to be G-Dragon's fashion mentor, showed off his big hands at Dongmyo and made people laugh by completing G-Dragon's style. Jung Hyung Don said about Dongmyo, where joy and longing intersect, "It feels like memories are coming back to me."

Defconn, who worked as an assistant, appeared, showing off his changed status as a popular variety show star, nicknamed 'Growth Character'. In particular, as the MC of 'I'm Solo', he showed interest in the news that G-Dragon usually enjoys watching dating variety shows and attempted to make a niche sales pitch, and Jung Hyung Don became jealous, forming a subtle love triangle between the three of them, causing bursts of laughter.
