Cleaedol Festa is a platform that offers fans the opportunity of banners and crowdfund announcements for their favorite-pop-foot-like stars, actors, etc.-hatando. These are usually organized during returns, the outputs of the drama K, the birthdays of the celebrities, the concerts and so on. The fact that the Fan apparently voted for the announcement of Kim Soo Hyun has aroused a lot of indignation in the summons of the post.
What national embarrassment … Hongdae has a lot of pedestrian traffic from foreigners, above all … because they are doing it … foreigners could see it and go: “Oh, Kim Soo Hyun is up there … hasn’t been accused of a crime? What’s wrong with Korea?” Don’t they think that way? The people who like Korea would surely know this type of problem … He even made news of the BBC …
Why … just why … are we so indulgent ??– @orin_no_sin via x

Hongdae has many population that floats foreigners.
Why do you do it?
Foreigners are hung on Kim Soo -hyun. Didn’t you say you are a criminal?
If you like this .. if you like Korea, you will surely know this problem. Why … is it so generous ?? https://t.co/kijcgywqo8– Duck has no since (@ori_no_sin) April 19, 2025
The platform itself was also affected by strong criticisms for allowing the announcement to pass through the dispute of Kim Soo Hyun.
Isn’t this the kind of things that should be decided with a vote?
There are too many guys messed up there …
And seriously, shouldn’t they break down the announcement alone? What happens with the platforms that still perform it?

Is it a vote?
Too many humans in men …
And you have to advertise yourself.

Isn’t this the kind of things that people vote for? If the votes were collected before the news came out … I guess they can understand. However, they should have reviewed it before putting it on. Instead they could have gone with second place. FFS.

Isn’t it a vote?

However, Kim Soo Hyun fans defended the announcement. Some supporters say that the actor’s global fame is the reason why the announcement is growing and that the Netizen should not be surprised.
It is simply out there that it is Kim Soo Hyun … shining without effort, who accidentally owns the Hongdae station and steals hearts as usual😌
Or you can say-
Public service, movement of lighting and breeding of cardiac rates including H@Ters (even if for a very different reason Rome) ♥ ️#Kimsoohyun https://t.co/aapznk34gj– mine (@mon_jwon) April 19, 2025
