South Korean star Kim Soo-hyun has announced his absence from the forthcoming Sakura Festival in Kaohsiung on March 30th, following the controversy linked to his previous romance with the late actress Kim Sae-ron. This decision follows Kaohsiung Mayor Chen Chi-mai’s call for the organizers to rethink their invitation.
At first, the event organizers insisted that Kim would still attend, but they later changed their position, mentioning scheduling conflicts as the reason for his withdrawal. In an announcement, they assured that refunds would be issued to fans who were looking forward to meeting the actor.
This cancellation coincides with a challenging time for Kim, who is encountering considerable backlash from the populace and various brands, with some halting collaborations amidst the ongoing controversy.
Notwithstanding the persistent conversations regarding his reputation, arrangements for a meet-and-greet event had been set, with 200 fans allegedly registered to participate.
