Uncertainty Looms Over Kim Soo-hyun's Attendance at Taiwan Event Amid Controversy

Will actor Kim Soo-hyun attend the event in Taiwan?

Kim Soo-hyun is scheduled to hold a fan meeting in Taiwan on the 30th. However, reports suggest that his appearance at the Seven-Eleven Sakura Festival event in Kaohsiung, Taiwan, at the end of this month is uncertain.

Initially, Taiwan's Seven-Eleven planned to invite their brand model, Kim Soo-hyun, for a conference and fan meeting. They also intended to release products featuring Kim Soo-hyun's image, such as fresh food packaging, coffee cups, and cup sleeves, and had already selected 200 attendees for the fan meeting through a lottery.

In Taiwan, it is speculated that the penalty for breach of contract could amount to 30 million Taiwan dollars (approximately 1.32 billion Korean won).

Previously, Kim Soo-hyun faced significant image damage due to allegations from the family of the late Kim Sae-ron, claiming he dated her for six years starting when she was a minor. Despite Kim Soo-hyun and his agency's immediate denial, he has been criticized domestically and internationally for allegedly being a perpetrator of grooming crimes.
