[GENERAL] THE JKT48 thread!

Based on this article, Dentsu said that the group operates in red in April and May but started to gain revenue to Pre-Covid level in October
since the online services launched (not sure if the revenue only enough for minimum monthly operation or not enough for moving forward with the future plans). Dan Beby will postponed her graduation untill the teather capacity full again.

As a part of restructuring, 10th Generation debut is cancelled

Aurel (Team J) resigned from JKT48
https://jkt48.com/news/detail/id/1368?lang=id

 

apparently there's a little bit of scandal on her resignation, I don't even know the full detail until Gaby Father uploaded it on instagram story. How gaby father not becoming persona non grata within the management still baffled me.

 

Ai hear a rumour that she have done something bad

 

a short explicit video featuring a girl that looks like aurel has been circulating in social media.
this incident is similar to what happened with okta and one underage academy member which i refuse to name (with okta it's just a screenshot). they all resigned (or maybe were fired) immediately after the incident. honestly i'm not 100% sure about the reason for okta's exit, but that is most likely the reason.

previously there were also almost explicit pictures of girls that looked like onichan and sisil with boys.

 

What happen to T's thread?

 

MNL48 greetings to JKT48 9th Anniversary

 

JKT48's channel has just been hacked by Bitcoin scammers.

 

Yeah I can't imagine how many curses that probably went out from JKT IT team that night lmao

 

Members who get restructured announced, a special graduation event will be held
https://jkt48.com/news/detail/id/1383?lang=id

 

Wow, that's a lot

After that, only 33 members remain
a bit fewer than MNL's 36-member scheme

 

Dentsu will NOT be seeing heaven for kicking out Lisa

 

Tbh Lisa is not really that popular I think so it's not really a surprise to me that she had to be let go. If we look at the bigger picture this is hugely the fault of government for not able to contain covid properly, I am saddened by this news but I understand that this need to be done. But I still don't understand why they have to let go Afiqah and Yori. Now, if they don't use Owaranai encore as graduation song I'll be pissed, the circumstances is too perfect. Seeing there's only 33 member currently then I guess we will see himawarigumi system revived and all the current stage being postponed. We probably won't see ssk again this year.

 

Yes. I think most of the fans are really shocked about Afiqah and Yori. They have a lot of potential. Not saying other members don't have potential, tho. Also especially a lot of new gen members who still does nothing. There are some of senbatsu members who ranked last ssk too.

 

You forget something they have a discussion with some members so some girls want to graduate already

 

yeah I mean majority of those from J feels like they have strong reason tograduate faster but somehow I got a feeling that Indy and Tasya didn't really want to graduate but was kinda "forced" to graduate

 

I don't know where to find the recording but during "Dari Jendela SMP musical concert" on SCTV they start wearing mask while singing (Many performers also start doing this). They also start using faceshield during theater performance. I wonder since they have to wear mask people will be more willing to hire them since they can lipsync without worry and from what I heard the cost to hire JKT will be lower if they were to lipsync.

Little update:
Sisca first movie "The hearbreak club" released last week on netflix
Rachel's first movie will premiere in cinemas on 14th February 2021 (if I remember correctly it supposed to premier last year but they have to postponed it)
