"And for example, friends say I'm just following the crowd. Now the shares of NFT are rising. But I didn't follow the crowd to buy NFT shares. I am a student, I know how to manage a football club to progress. I even talked to the coach and the board of directors there, oh I can do it. Finally, I want to (acquire Persikota). So it's not that I don't know anything because this has gone through a very long process," she said.

Apart from being a football club owner, Prilly Latuconsina is also known to try her luck behind the scenes recently. She sat in the producer's chair in a romance drama film titled KUKIRA KAU RUMAH.

As someone who has been involved in the entertainment industry for a long time, Prilly Latuconsina understands that some production houses look for actors based on their popularity on social media. However, she did not apply that approach in producing KUKIRA KAU RUMAH because she found it strange.

"There are many production houses that give opportunities to people who are not casted, sometimes they don't understand the character they are given, they are only chosen because they have a lot of engagement on social media. And in my opinion, that's really weird," said Prilly when met at Plaza Senayan, Central Jakarta, on Monday (31/1/2022).
