What happens

Akademi Fantasi Indosiar (commonly abbreviated as AFI) was Indonesia's second reality television show after Popstars Indonesia. In this show, contestants—referred to as "students"—competed for the winning title and a chance to launch their careers in the entertainment industry. The first season premiered at the end of November 2003 and became one of Indosiar's highest-rated shows. The theme song, titled "Menuju Puncak," was identical to that used in Akademi Fantasia from Malaysia and was composed by Aubrey Suwito. The show's format was adapted from La Academia, which originated in Mexico. Indonesia was the second country in Southeast Asia, after Malaysia, to produce its own version of the show, with a similar format later introduced in Thailand. Akademi Fantasi Indosiar was replaced by The Voice Indonesia (also broadcast on Indosiar) in 2013. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
