Regarding on Hong Kong: That stands for Hong Kong time, which is an hour behind Japan.

But that's not the point: HKT in this context stands for Hakata, which is the primary metropolitan area (ward) of Fukuoka, which has the train station and the major airport there. People coming to Fukuoka from other prefectures and elsewhere outside Japan usually come to this area, and that's where HKT48 will be located, primarily because it is Fukuoka's ward as a gateway to Fukuoka visitors around the nation and around the world.
