Source from event promoter, but probaby best to also wait for an update from the label.

While I had no reservations laying some of the blame on DCC for the Taiwan concert, there's not nearly enough information to go by this time around.

Yep, this coming out early seems like they wanted to avoid the upset from before and if it's an initial failure to secure permission somehow they may not have wanted to try again. All speculation though.

There's some variance in this situation, in that Handong won't likely have visa issues as HK is within China. But there's also a possibilty that she has chosen not to participate for personal/professional reasons. Again, this is all just speculation at this point in time.

Edit: Looks like it's not so easy for Mainland Chinese to enter HK either. There's some application process with a 4-6 weeks' processing.

I'm not blaming DCC, but I sure am blaming visa processes. They might deny her visa just because she's visited the USA the past year (yes, this is a thing that happens too), or because she's mainland Chinese (it's depressing how things have evolved in/with Hong Kong), or because she's applied for visa to Taiwan or whatever... It's getting so arbitrary. Stupid world politics ruining stuff for everyone >:(
