Korean idol Kim Soo-hyun is coming to Hong Kong and mainland Chinese fans are already gearing up for visit

- Posts are appearing on social media platform Xiaohongshu with information on the event, even though ticketing details have yet to be announced officially
A visit by popular South Korean actor Kim Soo-hyun to Hong Kong later this year is expected to bring in fans from across mainland China, with the city remaining a cultural middleman amid years-long geopolitical tensions between Beijing and Seoul.
A number of posts have already appeared on popular mainland social media platform Xiaohongshu with information on the event, even though ticketing details have yet to be announced officially.
Advice ranged from which local websites to keep an eye on for tickets, including HK Ticketing, Urbtix and Cityline, to detailed maps of the venue for the best seats in the house.
Tips on applying for passes to Hong Kong with local immigration authorities, transport and the amount of cash to bring were also provided.
Others gave recommendations on accommodation, although most suggested same-day visits. Some urged people from further away to book a room in neighbouring Shenzhen, a move considered “more cost efficient” than staying in Hong Kong.
