[theqoo] KIM SOOHYUN TO ATTEND HIS FIRST OFFICIAL EVENT AFTER CONTROVERSY - HEADING TO TAIWAN FAN MEETING.. 50 POLICE OFFICERS ON STANDBY

(...)

The 'Kaohsiung Cherry Blossom Festival,' overseen by the Qianzhen branch, will take place from March 28 to March 30, 2025. Police confirmed that the deployment of 50 officers is part of general security measures for the festival, not specifically for Kim Soo Hyun. They also noted that the event organizers had not requested additional security measures. However, the fan meeting itself is expected to have a significant police presence.

Tickets for Kim Soo Hyun's fan meeting will be distributed through a lottery system, with only those aged 18 and above eligible to participate. About 200 fans were selected through the lottery for the 40-minute event. The fan meeting is free of charge, aside from the general admission fee for the Cherry Blossom Festival.

While Kim Soo Hyun’s reputation has suffered due to the recent controversy, the event organizers remain committed to holding the fan meeting as planned. However, public interest remains high as to whether the event will proceed smoothly. The organizers clarified that since the tickets were distributed for free, they would not accommodate refund, transfer, resale, or exchange requests even if the event is modified or canceled.

Criticism from Taiwanese fans and media has been mounting toward both Kim Soo Hyun and the local event organizers. There has been a surge in refund requests for Cherry Blossom Festival tickets, but Taiwan’s Consumer Protection Office stated that since the fan meeting is part of a broader festival and not a standalone concert, refunds are unlikely.
