Fact Check: Fahsai CGM48 of Indonesian descent?
There are more people talking about AKB48 Group members from Chiang Mai, namely Fahsai CGM48 of Indonesian descent, he said. I don’t know who started this commotion, but it has already spread to various social media.
In the news circulating, it is stated that Fahsai Tirada Prasankit is the only member of 48 groups outside JKT48 who has Indonesian blood. He was the youngest member of BNK48-CGM48 at that time.
In the same post, it is also stated that Fahsai is fluent in Indonesian thanks to her father, Farhan Susanto, who has lived in Thailand since the 70s. The post wrote that Fahsai did a live broadcast in March.
Live Streaming is said to be carried out on the iAM48 application which is made by the management of the BNK48 Group, which manages BNK and CGM48. Said the news spreader, Fahsai answered questions from fans from Indonesia.
Fahsai CGM48 has nothing to do with Indonesia
After our fact-finding team investigated whether Fahsai CGM48 was of Indonesian descent, the facts were not. The upload is a hoax, the information submitted is also wrong.
Fahsai’s real name is Phattaratida Chongprasankiat, not Fahsai Tirada. He also has no Indonesian ancestry, his father is also a native of Thailand. He had never spoken a word of Indonesian.
The hoax post was uploaded by a Facebook fanpage called FAM48INA. Let’s wait whether the post will be edited?
For wota friends, looking for official information related to AKB48 Group must be more thorough and it is better to choose a news website accredited by the Press Council and has legal legality to be considered a media or PT, like detik.com / kompas.com / cnnindonesia / viva News, etc.
Or if you want to follow the 48 Group English fanblog on the web www.akb48.at / neotokyo2099.com / aramajapan.com / tokyohive, they are quite credible.
As additional information, also avoid swallowing raw information, especially from hoax-prone social media such as Facebook and Twitter. Now that the times are more advanced, maybe Instagram is stricter in filtering.
That’s why people prefer to look for information on IG, if the fanpage is not clear to look for likes, it’s best to avoid it, wota friend. We’ve discussed articles about: The best AKB48 Group Fanblogs and Fansites, for your reference too.
It would be even better if you watch the English-language AKB48 Group news website, for example AKB48.at which is managed by Germans so that there are no more incidents of information such as Fahsai CGM48 of Indonesian descent.
