Southeast Asian Girl Groups Battle: MNL48 vs SGO48 vs JKT48 vs BNK48

If Indonesia, Philippines, Thailand, and Vietnam have rising boy groups of their own, will the girls be left behind? When it comes to girl groups, these are the same four countries in Southeast Asia that can represent in the global idol scene.

In 2005, Yasushi Akimoto formed a girl group with “idols you can meet” concept and it became a phenomenon in Japan when it comes to record and concert ticket sales. Because of its success, Akimoto has expanded the AKB48 concept to 8 countries including four in Southeast Asia namely MNL48 of the Philippines, BNK48 of Thailand, JKT48 of Indonesia, and SGO48 of Vietnam. These four girl groups are currently making waves in their respective countries. Let’s meet each group.

BNK48, Thailand

BNK48 debuted on June 2, 2017 with the single “Yak Cha Dai Phop Thoe.” The group, which was named after the capital city of Bangkok, currently has 43 active members. Their biggest hit was “Koisuru Fortune Cookie” with 182,680,673 views on YouTube. They recently formed a sister group called CGM48 which represents the city of Chiang Mai.

    In behalf of my MNLoves, gustong gusto ko pong magpasalamat sa mga tulong po ninyo, A’tin. I, myself, is very overwhelmed po sa pagtulong niyo and very amazed with your disciplined mindset po, despite po sa mga issues na kinakaharap ng both fandoms po natin. I also would like to apologize for the rude behavior of one of our Fandom member. Sana po you’ll forgive and always spread love. Thank you also for inspiring us to do much better in promoting PPOP!! I am very proud of wittnessing the collision of both Fandom, we are all so proud of our Idols, and we all love them. Let’s all spread possitivity and love. Once again, thank you po, and sorry. PPOP RISE!!!!

  16. I Luv coffee :D // April 28, 2020 at 9:44 pm //

    Hi A’tin here with Love,

    NkakaStress nowadays, bcoz of harsh words and negative comments na nababasa from both fandom. Parehong Mali, kaya bawal magturuan kung sinong nauna.

    Ang Saya lang kaya at masarap sa feeling noong mga time na nagtutulungan tayo para sa Idols natin. Yung walang laitan at bashing ng mga idols.

    Di nyo ba gusto ang feeling na yun??

    Syempre if masaya tayo sa lagay nayun, mas lalo na siguro ang saya ng idols natin. Mas gaganahan pa silang pagbutihin ang kung ano paman ang gusto nilang abutin.

    Sana bago magbitiw ng mga di kaaya-ayang mga salita, isipin muna kung anong magiging epekto nito sa mga idols natin. Mas malaki kaya impact nito sa kanila.

    Kung masakit at stress tayo dahil dun, ehh paano na lng nararamdaman nila? nkakabawas kaya ng kumpiyansa sa sarili yun.

    Pls. Stop natin to. Let’s do this for them. Yes, we are not a perfect human being, but could we at least be a perfect fan for them? kahit konti sana kung kaya.

    Kung ‘di natin kayang magpigil. Well, We are not helping them Rise. We are actually pulling them down.

    Haba ba?? Cenxa na. Pero Peace na tayo guyz para sa Idols natin.
    Magkakape muna ko while voting. God bless..bye-bye 😀

  46. Hi, MNLoves an A’TIN here willing to help. 😊

    Sabi ni Pinunong Sejun choose to be kind pero bakit ang gulo, ang kalat, at ang ingay ng comment section, may nabasa pa akong suicide jokes from A’TIN daw (Naku ka! pag nalaman ng boys yan…ma-di-dissappoint un.)
    Every harsh, rude, negative comments will reflect to our boys. Kaya behave.

    Dba po its between MNL48 vs BNK48 vs JKT48 vs SGO48. What’s happening now?

    Noong mga nakaraan araw naman ok ah, nice comments nagtutulungan.

    Nagpapasalamatan kasi nag-vo-vote MNLoves sa SB19, A’TIN sa MNL48. Kasi dba po PPop Rise?.

    Lam nyo totoo pala talaga na may mga taong gustong sirain ung magandang nasimulan dahil siguro sa inggit or immaturity.

    No matter what, magiging ok din lahat. 🤗

    Sa gumawa ng suicide jokes. May be you need help please contact NCMH or talk to someone around you baka epekto lang ng ECQ kaya stress na, at medyo di na nakakapag-isip ng maayos.
    (I’m serious about this po. Medyo alarming para sa akin dahil Psychology major po ako.)

    But love love lang tayo ah. MNLoves and A’TIN vote lang ng vote for MNL48.

    GOD bless po. Ingat palagi.
