Ticket holders planning to attend Hong Kong’s first major adult entertainment fair arrived to sudden disappointment this week. Event promoter AEE Group Limited has officially cancelled Mega Fans Expo 2026 alongside its scheduled media preview after border control officers refused entry to nearly thirty Japanese performers upon landing at Hong Kong International Airport.
The three-day convention was scheduled to run from 13 to 15 November at the Regal Airport Hotel, featuring guest appearances, fan meetings, and stage presentations.
The entire schedule unravelled on Wednesday as talent rosters and production crews found themselves detained at immigration checkpoints before airlines placed them on return flights to Tokyo.
Ticketing vendor KKday notified buyers directly that the expo could not proceed due to immigration entry issues affecting the headline talent, confirming that customers will receive full refunds for their purchases.
Chaos at Airport Border Control
Japanese performer Hibiki Otsuki confirmed that while border officials cleared her personally, the remainder of her travel party faced immediate rejection.
Otsuki explained that her manager, production staff, and fellow performers were turned away despite having secured travel visas prior to departure. She called the experience a complete first in her career.
The scene at the arrivals hall was “super chaotic,” Otsuki posted to social media, noting that she could not understand why officers barred the group when nobody in the party had broken regulations. She promised to share further details once her entire team safely returned to Japan.
Industry veteran Yui Hatano, booked to serve as the master of ceremonies throughout the weekend, also confirmed her sudden return flight, expressing deep regret to fans who had gathered at the airport to greet her.

Organisers Confirm Full Refunds
Event backer AEE Group Limited, operating as Asia Entertainment Group, issued an official statement confirming the immediate cancellation of the convention and Thursday’s press gathering.
The company stated it deeply regretted calling off the three-day programme and promised to publish complete ticket refund arrangements through official channels.
When reached by telephone prior to the written release, company director Choi Wai-sum declined to discuss whether the cancellation stemmed directly from border denials, stating that it was not convenient to talk before hanging up.
The abrupt shutdown brings a chaotic close to what promoters had billed as a milestone entertainment showcase for the city.
