Convention canceled after 30 Japanese artists barred

The Mega Fans Expo 2026 in Hong Kong was canceled due to the refusal of entry for nearly 30 Japanese adult film stars. The announcement came less than 48 hours before the event, which was set to take place at the Regal Airport Hotel. Organizers did not specify reasons for the cancellation but promised to provide ticket refund details soon. Many Japanese artists were barred from entering Hong Kong, despite having obtained visas. The situation has left thousands of ticket holders in limbo, as the event included exclusive experiences with the stars. The cancellation occurs amid ongoing diplomatic tensions between China and Japan, which have escalated since late 2025.
