A recent report from the Taiwanese media outlet ET Today suggests that there is uncertainty surrounding actor Kim Soo Hyun's anticipated attendance at the '2025 Sakura Festival' in Kaohsiung, Taiwan.

Initially, Kim Soo Hyun was supposed to participate in a fan meeting organized by 7-Eleven Taiwan on March 30 local time. The event was planned to offer exclusive packages, cups, and cup sleeves featuring Kim Soo Hyun, a photo wall, and a fan meeting with 200 lucky fans.

However, his presence at the event is now in question due to a recent controversy involving his former partner, the late Kim Sae Ron. A representative from 7-Eleven Taiwan stated that while the event is still on schedule at present, they are prepared to make any necessary adjustments promptly to protect the interests of their consumers.

If Kim Soo Hyun does not show up, he could potentially incur cancellation fees amounting to 30,000,000 NT$ (~ $900,000 USD). ET Today speculates that the actor is likely to withdraw from the event.

Meanwhile, the bereaved family of Kim Sae Ron has released an AI-generated tribute video of the actress.
