Kim Soo Hyun is getting into a deep pool since his dating controversy with late actress Kim Sae Ron has been sparked.

Kim Soo Hyun’s meet and greet is cancelled amid the ongoing Kim Sae Ron dating controversy

Amid the ongoing controversy, Kim Soo Hyun will no longer attend the 2025 Kaohsiung Cherry Blossom Festival aka 2025 Sakura Festival, in Taiwan. Despite this, his photo remained on the event’s official website.

On March 25, the official Instagram account of Taiwan’s 7-Eleven announced that the actor would not appear at the event. They informed fans that refunds would be issued, although attendees could still enjoy other performances for free on the same day.

“Those who purchased a ticket for 30 March 2025 will still be able to enter and watch the performances on that day. The organiser will begin the refund process on 31 March 2025 at 10 am. Those who purchased a ticket for 30 March 2025 can request a full refund.”

The second update provided additional details about the refund process and clarified that the cancellation was due to a “schedule change.”

“Performing guest Kim Soo Hyun is unable to attend the event ‘Kim Soo Hyun fanmeeting,’ originally scheduled for 30 March 2025, due to a schedule change. OPENPOINT points will be fully refunded to participating members. Sorry for the inconvenience caused.”

Initially, reports indicated that 50 police officers would be deployed at the event, marking the actor’s first public appearance since the scandal. However, the event was ultimately cancelled. This was the much-awaited greet and might scare him ₩1.32 billion (around $911,000) as the cancellation penalty.
