Maybe Miku being animated would make the shrine in Seoul weird but kpop fans (of popular groups) do those subway ads every year for members birthdays, debut anniversaries etc so it's actually just a bizarre daily occurrence at this point. Like they'll even line the departure and arrivals area of airports with the things if the group/fanbase is big enough. Funnily enough there's also, albeit one, screen with a smiling Jesus with blushed cheeks on it like 'Happy birthday Jesus' in a subway station there every year too.
