What happens

JKT48 (pronounced J-K-T-forty-eight) is Indonesia's idol girl group, established in 2011 as the first international sister group of Japan's AKB48. Based in Jakarta, the group blends music, fan interaction, and performance. They adopted the concept of "idols you can meet" before switching to "idols that come to meet you" in April 2018. The group opened its theater, on the fourth floor of the fX Sudirman shopping mall in Central Jakarta, on 8 September 2012. Fans can attend daily performances, which are subject to change. Although JKT48 membership is not limited to any nationality, applicants must be Indonesian residents. By June 2026, the group had 62 members. JKT48 released its first studio album, Heavy Rotation on Hits Records (a division of MNC subsidiary PT Star Media Nusantara) on 16 February 2013. The group typically performs songs by AKB48 and other sister groups by translating their songs into Indonesian. They released their first original single, "Rapsodi", in January 2020.
