JAKARTA - Members of the Pancoran Police Criminal Investigation Unit are still hunting for same-sex teenagers who are suspected of having an LGBT party at the Wow Cafe, Kalibata, South Jakarta. Due to the viral party on social media, the cafe was immediately raided by residents on Monday, December 6.

"We and the management will seek and clarify what is their purpose in doing this," said Pancoran police chief Kompol Rudiyanto when contacted by reporters, Tuesday, December 7.

Rudiyanto said the party was held spontaneously and without management approval. Therefore, his party did not impose sanctions on the management or temporarily close the cafe.

"There is no sealing, operations continue with supervision from residents, Satpol PP, and management. So the cafe remains open and unwanted things don't happen," he said.

The video has gone viral on social media Instagram since Monday. From the video footage, it can be seen that a group of teenage boys wearing tank tops and minisets perform graceful dances like a woman. Their action was watched by dozens of cafe visitors who crowded and cheered.

This video went viral on social media and received a lot of criticism from the public because it considered the actions of the teenagers as an LGBT party.

The climax, a group of people on behalf of the residents of Kalibata last night stumbled upon the Wow Cafe. They wanted to meet with management and clarify the video.

Muhammad Amin, one of the representatives of the residents who visited the Wow Cafe last night, said that his party had heard several reports about the existence of an LGBT party. However, at that time Amin said his party did not want to move because there was no evidence.

"Well, finally there is a video that is evidence for us, and that is a clarification so that it can be a lesson for all so that it doesn't happen again," said Amin.

After having a meeting and hearing the management's explanation, Amin said that the incident happened accidentally by the cafe manager. However, Amin said residents would monitor Wow Cafe so that similar incidents do not happen again.
