A major event, Mega Fans Expo 2026, was cancelled just before its opening due to problems at the border at Hong Kong International Airport, infohub.kz reports.
Organizers said nearly 30 Japanese adult film actresses were denied entry shortly after arriving in the city. According to the organizers, that decision by border officials made it impossible to hold the show.
Hong Kong's Immigration Department gave a different account, saying the women decided to leave on their own after learning the event had been cancelled.
On Wednesday the Mega Fans Expo 2026 team issued an official statement announcing the immediate cancellation of the three-day expo. It had been scheduled to run from Friday to Sunday at the Regal Airport Hotel, with a preview for guests planned for Thursday.
The statement did not specify the official reason for the sudden collapse. Organizers said only that refund arrangements for ticket holders would be announced later through the project's official channels.
