Kim Soo Hyun’s upcoming fan meeting in Taiwan is still moving forward, even with the current controversy surrounding him. Ticket sales remain active, and organizers have made no changes to his scheduled appearance. This occurs despite brands removing his ads and negative public sentiment.
Controversy and Brand Reactions
Kim Soo Hyun has faced allegations involving a past relationship with Kim Sae Ron, which sparked significant backlash. The YouTube channel Garo Sero Research Institute presented these claims, leading to widespread discussion. Several brands, including Tous Les Jours, Homeplus, Eider, Shabu All Day, and Dinto, reportedly removed advertisements featuring the actor. Additionally, some overseas distributors discarded promotional materials with his image. Public opinion has become increasingly negative.
Taiwan Fan Meeting Plans Unchanged
Despite the controversy, the 2025 Kaohsiung Cherry Blossom Festival (also known as the 2025 Sakura Festival) in Taiwan has not altered Kim Soo Hyun’s appearance. The festival is scheduled from March 28 to 30, with Kim Soo Hyun set to meet fans on the final day, from 9:20 PM to 10:00 PM (local time). Organizers have not released any statements regarding his attendance.
Ticket sales continue, and key sections, including VIP, general, and couple seats, are sold out. Only a limited number of tickets remain in specific areas, such as seating for elderly attendees. The continued ticket sales and lack of official changes suggest Kim Soo Hyun will proceed with the fan meeting.
The focus now shifts to whether Kim Soo Hyun will attend the event amidst the ongoing controversy.
