JKT48

JKT48 is an Indonesian idol group that operates as the first overseas sister group of Japan's AKB48. Formed in 2011 through a collaboration between Indonesian producers and AKS, the group adopts the AKB48 model of large, rotating lineups and theater-based performances. It is based in Jakarta, Indonesia, where its regular stage shows are held.

Like its Japanese counterpart, JKT48 uses a team-oriented structure and generational system that allows members to join through auditions and graduate as they move on to other activities. The lineup has historically included multiple teams and generations, with member changes reflecting the group's ongoing evolution.

Musically, JKT48 has released Indonesian-language versions of AKB48 songs as well as original material suited to the Indonesian market. In addition to music releases, the group appears on television and online media, and conducts live tours and theater performances to engage with fans.

JKT48 has played a key role in introducing and sustaining idol culture in Indonesia and the broader region. It maintains an active schedule of performances, auditions for new members, and public appearances, continuing the AKB48 concept in a local context.
