Meaning and Who Are the Real JKT48 Far Fans?

By Yama
After days of being made laughing by the case of the UN1TY Boyband member and former Jeketi member, Ara, now we are back to a more relaxed mode by discussing only JKT48 Far Fans.

If you are already involved in the idol world of AKB48 Group, especially JKT48, you may already be familiar with the term Fans Far, which is often mentioned by jeketi fans on forums & social media.

what is fan far jkt48

Literally, Fans Far means Fans Far. Or those who like their idols but are too far away to witness the appearance of their favorite idols in person. JKT48 in this case is based in Jakarta.

Then who are the fans far? Are they outside Jakarta? Or off the island? Overseas maybe? Here we will discuss according to several versions regarding JKT48 Far Fans and it turns out that there are different versions.

1. Outside DKI Jakarta

Again, basically JKT48 is a music group from Jakarta and is still headquartered in the Special Capital Region.

Not a few agree that someone can be said to be a Far JKT48 fan if they live outside Jakarta. For example, a typist who lives in Bekasi and idolizes JKT48 means that the term Fans Far is appropriate for typists. See also: The Origin of the Golden Rules of JKT48 and AKB48.

However, this is still a matter of debate to this day. The reason is, several cities around Jakarta are still considered too close to be called a place for Far JKT48 fans.

2. Outside Jabodetabek

Some fans say, Far JKT48 Fans that’s not a proper name for residents of Jakarta, Bogor, Depok, Tangerang and Bekasi, or often called Jabodetabek. The national strategic, business and administrative areas seem as if the state is centered in this area (Even though they are).

Moreover, according to one respondent, Jabodebatek now supports adequate infrastructure in the form of public transportation that can facilitate access to the center of JKT48 at fX Sudirman mall, Senayan.

The existence of KRL, LRT, APTB buses and later the MRT which is extended outside Jakarta is said to be enough to create a label “Far JKT48 Fans” was abolished for fans in Jabodetabek. Read: JKT48 Fargirl Forty Eight Documentary Film.

In conclusion, if you live outside Jabodetabek, it means that someone is legally called a Far JKT48 fan. Is there another version? Turns out it still is! No, not JKT48 fans in Japan or abroad.

3. Certain Distance

Far JKT48 fans are those who have to travel a certain distance to get to the theater or Jakarta. For example, according to Bang Wawan, if a fan is willing to travel more than 55 kilometers to watch oshimen, then he is a Far Fan.

The 55 KM figure was taken from the furthest route for the KRL train heading to Tanah Abang – Maja Station, Rangkasbitung. This means, said Wawan, if he can still be reached by KRL even though the distance is 50KM, then he is not a fan of Far JKT48.

So basically who are the so-called Far JKT48 Fans? For me, it goes back to each individual, there are those who think that the 10 KM distance from their house to FX is already quite far, some say 55KM is still too close to FX Sudirman.
