JAKARTA - Melody Nurramdhani as General Manager of JKT48 revealed the possibility of JKT48 disbanding due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The announcement was made by Melody through a video uploaded on the JKT48 YouTube channel on Tuesday, November 10.

Since the end of March, JKT48 had to stop idol activities such as handshakes, theater and many others. All of their activities are difficult to organize because of the pandemic.

The public is wondering, if it is disbanded, what will be the fate of the 70 JKT48 members who are currently still active in the group.

“After continuous discussion, there is only one way to survive. that way is to reduce the number of members and staff so that the group does not disband, ”said Melody in the video.

One of the JKT48 members, Sisca expressed her feelings about this news. With the hashtag # KamiBersamaJKT48, he is committed to staying with the group he is proud of.

"To be honest, I never thought that this group must experience such a painful condition ... mixed feelings but we will get through this TOGETHER," wrote Sisca through her personal Twitter account.

Outside of group activities, several JKT48 members have solo projects that have also become the center of attention of fans, one of which is Sisca JKT48 who starred in the film Sobat Ambyar presented by Didi Kempot.

In addition, several JKT48 members also have events through the RCTI Plus platform. However, these activities could not cover the losses suffered by JKT48 management.

Honestly, I never thought that this group had to go through such a painful state .. mixed feelings, but we will get through this TOGETHER :) # KamiBersamaJKT48
