KLP48, AKB48's new sister group from Malaysia, has created a stir in the entertainment world and captured the attention of netizens, especially idol groups, anime and manga lovers. This announcement came from Terada Nanaki, CEO of Superball Inc, manager of AKB48's sister group outside Japan, via the 48Circle platform.

As the 10th AKB48 sister group outside Japan, KLP48 will join other sister groups such as JKT48 in Indonesia, BNK48 and CGM48 in Thailand, MNL48 in the Philippines, AKB48 Team SH in Shanghai, and AKB48 Team TP in Taipei.

Further details regarding KLP48's future activities, including the audition process, theater location, and debut single release, are expected to be announced in the near future.

Named after Tokyo's central district, Akihabara, where AKB48's main theater is located, the group first formed 16 years ago, starting with SKE48's formation in 2008 as a girl group that performed daily at their own theater in Sakae, Nagoya. Since then, AKB48 has become the most popular girl idol group in Japan and was once the fifth best-selling girl idol group in the world.

The group, which consists of teenage girls performing in school uniforms, is described as a social phenomenon because its popularity stems from the concept of 'idols you can meet,' allowing fans to interact with members through live performances, handshake events, and interactions via social media. It is hoped that KLP48's arrival in Malaysia will be an interesting addition to the AKB48 family.

KLP48 immediately stole the attention of netizens throughout Indonesia, especially in the home of its sister group, JKT48. The KLP48 design, which is dominated by green, even sparked netizens' creativity with a number of jokes, such as Klepon48 and Kelapa48. The success of KLP48 is expected to be a new milestone in the history of the Malaysian entertainment industry and strengthen AKB48's existence on the global stage.
