	[[PresidentLee]], a prominent and active member, had garnered a lot of dislike from other members due to his actions that were seen as annoying or ragebaity, while also saying insensitive messages to try and "trigger" other people. Although he was temporarily banned for a month when he made light of the fallout of Nigel's resignation, he would return not long after his ban expired. While at first most members didn't have any serious concerns, these soon escalated. As a final warning, Lee was told that if he didn't change his behavior, Staff would issue an indefinite ban. With more and more concerns rising from other members, and Lee ignoring this warning, Staff banned him on June 19th 2026 which many active members celebrated.

	In late May, Instagram began removing bot accounts and inactive followers, leading to Hongkongggag to experience almost daily follower losses for nearly two weeks, bringing the follower count down to 120K for two days. However, at the same time the page also collaborated with Movie Movie to promote the Backrooms movie: Hongkongggag's largest collaboration ever. Aside from a sponsored meme post ranking liminal spaces in Hong Kong, a ticket giveaway went live on June 3rd 2026, with 20 tickets up for grabs. This helped gradually restore the page's followers, bringing it back up to 120K, before the follower count dropped drastically again.
