We deeply regret this situation. After the discrepancy of the facts was discovered, management has attempted to communicate with the person concerned to ask for clarification.
After more than a week of trying to contact Zahra Nur, the person concerned did not show good faith in communicating and did not fulfill the call given by the management.
Due to the violation of obligations and regulations as a member, starting today the person concerned is no longer registered as a member of JKT48.
So, all of her activities are no longer related to JKT48. Information regarding the video call refund with the person concerned will be announced later. Please understand and thank you. JKT48 Operation Team."
