If you are a JKT48 fan who has liked this idol group from Jakarta for a long time, maybe you understand a little about their competitors. If it used to be quite a lot in his era.

Call it the famous girl group Blink, 7ICONS, Super Girlies, Cherrybelle. However, they haven’t appeared in public for a long time, many of whose members are busy with other jobs, some are married & take care of children.

While JKT48 still exists until now in its 10th year, the regeneration factor is one of the differentiators. Since the Indonesian girl group & girl group Planet Remaja disbanded & stopped making music, actually a new idol group appeared with the ambition to compete with JKT48. Who is it?

1. Shojo Complex

2. ABC

3. GLASS

4. Lusca

5. StarBe

We start with ABC, this stands for A Better Chance. Actually, it was formed by four former ChiBi personnel, namely Ryn, Cherly, Gigi and Steffy. At that time, it was predicted that ABC would compete with JKT48.

Moreover, according to Cherly, they claim to be an idol group, not a girlband. Plus the manager is Yoshimoto Indonesia, this Yoshimoto company in Japan manages the NMB48 group.

But since its introduction in March 2022, the ABC group is no longer heard of. Not many even know what songs they have released, so the excitement seems like the wind has passed.

We continue to GLASS, a girl group that became a public conversation when it was introduced. They got a former member of JKT48, Triarona Kusuma alias Tya. Having an image & characteristics similar to AESPA, actually their debut was awaited by many people, including JKT48 fans themselves. Read: GLASS Idol Group Facts.

Next was the Shojo Complex, again Yoshimoto Creative Agency tried to form a rival JKT48 in June 2022 by involving former JKT48 member Diasta Priswarini, using a regeneration system that is still active today.

This J-Pop genre idol group combines the concept of Japanese Pop with EDM. Under the auspices of the Yoshimoto label, Shoujo Complex already has a total of seven current active members from two different generations, including: Rei, Kethy, Flo, Gita, Irene, Chelle, and Rizka.

Then there is also StarBe, this is a pretty stable girl group, right. Because the members, namely Chelsea Van Meijr, Kezia, Shella and Abel are quite popular among the general public. Netizens are even amazed by Chelsea’s beautiful face that often appears on their TikTok FYP.

Several singles and other StarBe songs are widely played on the digital music streaming platform Spotify & JOOX. In some cases, the number of screenings can be higher with each new single release.

That’s the list of girl groups that should be JKT48’s tight competitors in a career in the Indonesian music industry. Actually, the more idol groups and girl groups in Indonesia, the better it is to color the entertainment world like in the 2008-2022 era, right?
