ComplexCon Hong Kong is just two weekends away. We’re sure most people are there to connect with like-minded people over fashion, art, and street culture, or catch live music performances from massive stars, including Blackpink’s Jennie, Yeat, Jay Park, and plenty more. However, there’s another local star who’ll be making an appearance at AsiaWorld-Expo over the weekend: Regina Ip.
In case you aren’t aware, Ip is a politician with 50 years in public service under her belt. While it might seem an unconventional choice for her to be invited to ComplexCon, the veteran politician has taken the Internet by storm over the last few years and become somewhat of a memed online figure, with many ironically referring to her as ‘older sister’. The festival recently took to its official Instagram and announced that Ip would be holding a fan meeting as part of the ComplexCon(versations) lineup on March 21.
Many netizens have responded to ComplexCon’s post with a mix of surprise and curiosity. Nonetheless, attendees will have the opportunity to receive never-before-seen photo cards signed by Ip and even have a hi-bye interaction with her after the fan meeting. We’re honestly a little confused as to why a local legislator is getting the K-pop star treatment, but to each their own! If you want to meet this public figure up close and snap a photo with her, tickets for ComplexCon are still up for grabs on Klook and Trip.com.
