JAKARTA - Delpi Suhariyanto from the Dongker band has again become a hot topic of conversation on social media. Different from before, where the vocalist became a 'patient' because security officers were chased away when they wanted to get on stage from the crowd, this time the case made Delpi become a 'perpetrator' of violence against the audience.

In a video clip circulating on social media, Delpi was seen committing violence against the audience who climbed the stage and recorded the moment of Dongker's appearance. At that time, the vocalist kicked the audience, causing it to fall from the stage.

Knowing his name was being discussed, Delpi, through her Instagram account, apologized. He admitted his mistake when Dongker appeared at the Not Fest event in Bandung on September 28, 2024 and the B-Area Fest event on Batu on August 9, 2024.

"Without justifying the violence I did, allow me to explain the chronology of what happened. The beatings I did occurred when one of the spectators went on stage and began to disturb the comfort of the audience and performance on stage, so there were concerns about the tools and monitors," said Delpi, citing his statement on Thursday, January 30.

"This was done repeatedly even though the Dongker crew had been reminded several times. After the incident, I approached the person concerned and apologized directly," he continued.

Furthermore, Delpi stated that he had no intention of committing violence, but he realized that his actions were also inappropriate. He hopes he can be a part of creating a 'safe space' in music performances.

"I have no intention of committing violence, let alone hurting anyone. My intention is to maintain tools and stage conditions, but I admit that it should be possible in a more appropriate way. Hopefully this can be my lesson and will not do things that harm the audience unilaterally in the future. Once again, I apologize, "said Delpi.

"Thank you friends who have reminded again that ensuring a safe room in any concert or room is a shared responsibility, including myself," he concluded.
