On March 26, 2025, it was officially announced that South Korean actor Kim Soo Hyun’s highly anticipated fan meeting event in Taiwan has been postponed.
The event was originally scheduled to take place on March 30 as part of a special promotional activity organized by 7-Eleven Taiwan, where Kim serves as an official brand model.
According to the announcement made by 7-Eleven Taiwan on March 25, the cancellation was primarily due to a scheduling conflict that made it impossible for the actor to attend.
The event was supposed to be a key highlight of the Kaohsiung Cherry Blossom Festival, with Kim Soo Hyun expected to appear in front of fans for approximately 40 minutes.

The event promised a rare opportunity for Taiwanese fans to meet the top Hallyu star, interact with him, and create lasting memories.
However, a day later, Kim Soo Hyun’s agency GOLDMEDALIST released an official statement clarifying the decision.
The agency emphasized that the schedule change was also influenced by safety reasons, although they did not elaborate further on what specific safety concerns led to the postponement.
They assured fans that the event is not canceled outright but postponed, hinting at the possibility of rescheduling once the circumstances improve.
This news comes at a sensitive time for Kim Soo Hyun, as he is currently embroiled in controversy related to the late actress Kim Sae Ron.
While the agency has previously issued statements regarding the allegations, the ongoing situation has led to significant fallout.
Several brands and production teams connected to Kim Soo Hyun have begun to distance themselves from the actor in light of the public attention surrounding the controversy.
In related developments:
- The premiere of Kim Soo Hyun’s upcoming drama “Knock Off” has been postponed due to the recent controversies.
- Prada, one of the major luxury brands Kim Soo Hyun endorsed, has terminated their contract with him.
- The production team of the show “Good Day” issued an apology and announced that they will edit out all of Kim Soo Hyun’s footage from the program.
Kim Sae Ron’s family has requested an apology from Kim Soo Hyun and filed a lawsuit against a YouTuber involved in spreading rumors.
Fans have expressed disappointment and concern over the situation, as this event was a rare opportunity for local supporters in Taiwan to meet the star in person.
Many also speculate that the ongoing controversy and mounting pressure might have played a bigger role in the postponement than initially stated.
Nevertheless, the agency has reassured fans that updates will be provided if and when the event is rescheduled.
As of now, it remains uncertain when Kim Soo Hyun will make his next public appearance or how the current situation will impact his future projects and endorsements.
