With a tight financial condition, Inul admits that she couldn't afford to change her clothes frequently for performances. Especially clothes with expensive prices.

With a payment ranging from Rp 30 thousand to Rp 500 thousand, Inul could only afford to buy kilogram fabrics with stretchy materials which were then transformed into costumes for performances.

However, it turns out that Mas Adam has always been supportive since the beginning, "But my husband always pushes me to perform well, so there will be many invitations. It's not just about dancing, but the singing must also be correct. No matter how much he gives, don't complain because it's already his destiny", Inul wrote in the caption of her personal Instagram.

3. Sincerely Accepting Criticism and Improving Oneself

In the closing statement, Inul expressed that she enjoys her life journey in the past and apologizes to those who were previously offended by her Goyang Ngebor dance. "Forgive me for the past that may have not pleased some people. But that was my life process in the past, and for me, it was beautiful," she said.
