Viral Video Megawati Hangestri Gets Emotional and Angry at Netizens During TikTok Live, What Happened?

Kapanlagi.com - Megawati Hangestri, an Indonesian volleyball athlete and former member of the Red Sparks team in South Korea, became the talk of the town after she was seen expressing her anger during a live broadcast on her TikTok account some time ago. This happened because she was unhappy with netizens criticizing her declining performance while playing in Proliga 2025.

According to several netizens, the volleyball player known by the nickname Megatron has not been putting in maximum effort since returning to her homeland. Fed up with the sharp remarks she received, Megawati decided to speak out on social media to defend herself.

A netizen with the username @kimchaena14 reshared a snippet of a live TikTok from Megawati on platform X. In the video, the athlete appears to be wearing a light brown mukena while expressing her emotions that can no longer be contained to the audience.

Megawati revealed that she did not train for the same duration as she did when she was in South Korea. Before showcasing her skills in Proliga with the Gresik Petrokimia team, she admitted she only had one day to train. This volleyball player couldn't help but compare the treatment she received in the past with the present after receiving criticism from netizens.

"I never trained for 20 days, just one day. Then I'm expected to play well like (before) in Korea where I trained for three months? No brains indeed you guys." The athlete stated.

2. Feeling Unworthy of Criticism Because They Only Know from One Side

Not only about the duration of training, Megawati also added that netizens only see her struggles from one side. They do not know the ups and downs she has gone through to reach the point of being able to play with her extraordinary skills while with the Red Sparks team.

"Do you know my struggle (how) for three months training in Korea (until) I cried? In Indonesia (just trained) for a day (then) told to play (and asked to) jump as high as the sky, that's impossible! If I used a shaman, then (it would be possible)." She continued while getting angry.

3. Megawati's Performance in Proliga 2025

Megawati failed to bring Gresik Petrokimia to the final round after appearing in two matches of the Final Four Proliga 2025. She and the team were defeated by Jakarta Pertamina Enduro in their first appearance. Although they managed to score 3-0 against Jakarta Electric PLN in the second match, the results of other matches meant that her team was declared unsuccessful in advancing to the next round.

Megawati's performance ultimately received a lot of harsh comments from netizens. However, it turns out that the volleyball player was indeed in less than optimal condition while playing, which caused her not to be able to perform at her best.

The volleyball athlete from the Jember region is known to have a concerning physical condition after continuously competing to maintain Red Sparks in the South Korean Volleyball League. This required her to undergo a recovery period from injury, causing her to miss the Proliga 2025 series in Semarang and Kediri. Megawati only returned to the court when the Gresik Petrokimia team competed at GOR Sritex Arena, Solo, Central Java.
