JAKARTA - A multinational girl group based in Indonesia, PAPION, introduced itself for the first time to music lovers in the country through a first showcase held at Bali United Studio 2 in Kebon Jeruk, West Jakarta on Thursday, August 7.
Five PAPION members also introduced themselves. They are Angel, Naufa, and Farah who come from Indonesia. Then the other two are Ponn from Thailand and Naia from the United States.
The name PAPION itself is inspired by the word Papillon in French, which means butter' as a symbol of diversity, freedom, and metamorphosis.
Like the butterfly that has a metamorphous nature of the cocoon, PAPION comes with a spirit of transformation and courage to fly beyond geographical and cultural boundaries.
"PAPION is a manifestation of the big dreams born in Indonesia, formed by talents from various countries, and prepared with staff with international standards," Naufa told the media crew present at the first showcase.
