After the viral Warkopi on social media, the Warkop DKI institution then spoke up and gave a warning to the group imitating the appearance of Warkop DKI.

The Warkop DKI institution also regrets Warkopi's action of not intending to ask for permission before indirectly imitating the style of the legendary comedians of Warkop DKI, namely Indro, Dono, Kasino. Hanna mentioned that Warkopi only sent an email without mentioning a request for permission, even the letter was sent after the three of them appeared on television and commercials.

Hanna also mentioned that Warkopi only asked to meet face to face after appearing on reality shows on several television stations. They asked about the purpose of their appearance and the expectations of Warkopi, who claimed their group as Warkop DKI reborn without permission from the relevant institution.

The aftermath of Indro Warkop's comments about Warkopi finally prompted the Warkop DKI Institution to request that Warkopi cease its commercial activities. Considering that the group does not have permission from the Warkop DKI Institution. Indro Warkop himself mentioned that the three of them do not have ethics in their work.

"If we are not protected by HaKI, maybe it's okay. But they are breaking the law. They are acting as if they are our group. There is evidence of them acting as if they are us. Now they are appearing on television, it's as if we are asked to approve," said Indro Warkop in a virtual conference on Monday (20/9/2021).

Indro Warkop himself does not have a problem with the resemblance of their faces to the legendary comedy actor Warkop DKI. However, he deeply regrets their actions of engaging in commercial activities before seeking permission from the relevant parties, including himself as a living member.

4. Feeling Disadvantaged

Hanna mentions that the Warkop DKI institution is disadvantaged by the emergence of Warkopi because they have been working together with Falcon and feel unable to protect their intellectual property rights after the emergence of Warkopi, which engages in commercial activities without permission.

She even states that Warkopi does not think about the material losses that the Warkop DKI institution will suffer from their actions. Warkopi is considered to have no manners and respect for Warkop DKI. Hanna also admits that she doesn't mind the emergence of Warkopi, but the group should have obtained permission before appearing on television or other media publications.
