Formation and Early Days (2024–present)

[edit | edit source]

KLP48 (short for Kuala Lumpur) was announced on January 1, 2024, as the 10th international sister group of the Japanese idol group AKB48, marking the first sister group in Malaysia.[1][2]The group is managed by 48 Entertainment SDN. BHD.[5]

On April 17, 2024, the transfer of four members from other AKB48 groups to KLP48 was announced. The members included AKB48's Haruka Kurosu, Yurina Gyoten, Suzuha Yamane, and STU48's Kokoa Kai. Their official transfer date was on June 1, 2024.[6]

Former AKB48 and SKE48 member Jurina Matsui was announced as KLP48's player manager in the same month.[7][8] This partnership was later terminated on July 11, 2024.[9] In April, they announced that they will have their first theater, Which is located in Lalaport and will open in 28 December 2025.[10]

In late December 2025, social media and entertainment news outlets began reporting that screenshots of a private group chat allegedly involving some first-generation KLP48 members have circulated online, which includes the group captain and lead performer. These screenshots are being criticized by fans and netizens because the chat content has been interpreted as insensitive or potentially racially-tinged, particularly toward Japanese members of the group. KLP48’s official management issued a statement announcing formal disciplinary action against six first-generation members[11]
