"Hingga saat ini konsep industri idola kurang cocok buat segmentasi pasar entertainment di Indo. Satu2nya yg eksis sampai skrg (AFAIK) adalah JKT48. Sdh bnyk yg coba formula idola tp langka yg bertahan lama. Masyarakat kita lebih cocok di musik2 indie & selebgram selebtok selebtube wkwk Sekarang makin banyak yang pindah haluan ke idol Thai. Fanservice banyak yang lebih oke cost-nya nggak segila K-pop :) Kenapa INDONESIA belum bisa bikin ekosistem per-idolan sampai kayak gitu ya Thailand aja bisa. Sekarang makin banyak yang pindah haluan ke idol Thai. Fanservice banyak yang lebih oke cost-nya"
