Popular doll Labubu and Blackpink’s Jennie were among the headline names and brands from the city and abroad that drew thousands of fans to Hong Kong’s third edition of pop culture festival ComplexCon early on Saturday.
Organisers said this year’s edition broke attendance records and estimated tens of thousands would show up for the two-day event at AsiaWorld-Expo.
On Saturday morning, attendees took selfies with sculptures of the iconic figurine and queued for exclusive merchandise, while others explored local vinyl record social enterprises and T-shirt brands.

At the opening ceremony, Secretary for Culture, Sports and Tourism Rosanna Law Shuk-pui said ComplexCon presented an “impressive and dynamic combination” of pop culture programmes and was backed by the government’s Mega Arts and Cultural Events Fund for a third year.
“I am delighted to see that our city’s distinctive arts and culture DNA makes it the perfect home for this global convergence of style, trainers, music,” Law said.

She added that beyond this year’s headliners Jennie and American rapper Yeat, she was excited that Hong Kong’s own renowned artist Lung Ka-sing, creator of Labubu, was the festival’s artistic director.
