Kim Soo Hyun, a popular South Korean actor, was set to make his first public appearance since a recent controversy at the 2025 Kaohsiung Cherry Blossom Festival in Taiwan. However, his appearance has been canceled due to the ongoing situation involving allegations about his relationship with the late actress Kim Sae Ron.
Initially, the festival organizers did not make any changes to Kim Soo Hyun’s scheduled event. His photo remained on the event’s website, indicating that he was still expected to participate. Due to the controversy and the high-profile nature of the event, it was reported that 50 police officers were to be deployed at the festival to ensure safety and manage the crowd.
On March 25, the official Instagram account of the event shared a notice stating that Kim Soo Hyun would no longer be appearing. The reason given was a “schedule change.” The organizers assured that ticket holders for March 30, 2025, could still attend other performances that day for free. Additionally, those who purchased tickets specifically for Kim Soo Hyun’s fanmeeting can request a full refund starting March 31, 2025, at 10 am.
“Performing guest Kim Soo Hyun is unable to attend the event ‘Kim Soo Hyun fanmeeting,’ originally scheduled for March 30, 2025, due to a schedule change. OPENPOINT points will be fully refunded to participating members. Sorry for the inconvenience caused.”
The second shot then shared more information, including where to get refunds and explaining that it was due to a “schedule change.”
