Kim Soo-hyun's face was allegedly blurred in TXT's Soobin's show Fave's Fave, sparking attention online. On April 10, 2025, the first episode of the second season aired on PIXID's YouTube channel. The episode featured fellow member Beomgyu as a guest. The theme centered around Soobin joining a drama club with Beomgyu, where they discussed various elements of K-dramas, including main characters, actors, and more.
The classroom club placed popular actors life-sized posters on each seat, which included IU, Lee Hye-ri, Park Bo-gum, and more. Fans observed that one of the actors was blurred out completely beyond recognition, and many speculated it was Kim Soo-hyun. Furthermore, when the actor's image appeared during a presentation, it was also seemingly blurred out.
Netizens speculated that Kim Soo-hyun was allegedly edited out of the episode due to his alleged underage dating controversy involving the late actress Kim Sae-ron. Many took to social media to express their approval of the production team's decision not to include the Queen of Tears actor in the show.
