Clarification NDX AKA Responds to Fans' Disappointment After Suddenly Stopping Concert in Bali

Kapanlagi.com - On Wednesday, January 10, 2024, NDX AKA held a concert at Pasar Rakyat Sesetan, Denpasar. The performance of this Yogyakarta hip hop band was highly anticipated by their fans in Bali. As proof, their concert tickets were successfully sold out, to the point that many ran out of tickets on the spot.

NDX AKA started their concert around 20:45 WITA. As usual, this Yogyakarta hip hop band successfully hypnotized thousands of fans who were present to dance along to their hit singles, such as Kimcil Kepolen, Bojoku Ketikung, Kelingan Mantan, Ditinggal Rabi, and several others.

After singing the song Kimcil Kepolen, NDX AKA promised one more song, namely Nemen, which is one of their most popular hits. At the same time, they also reminded the fans to remain calm amidst the current political situation.

From here, an unexpected incident occurred..

During a photo session together, it is alleged that there were spectators who shouted the name of one of the presidential candidates (capres), which was then followed by several other spectators. Strangely, after that, NDX AKA suddenly canceled singing the song Nemen which they had previously promised.

Immediately, this incident disappointed the audience. Not a few of them immediately stormed the official Instagram account of NDX AKA @ndxakatv. In addition to NDX AKA's Instagram account, one of the accounts belonging to NDX AKA personnel, @yonandafrisnadamara, also did not escape the attention of netizens.

"Sorry, sir, in the future please differentiate between paid and free concerts. If it's like this, the audience will be disappointed. The VIP ticket costs 75, but the concert is not full. It's a different story if it's a concert by Ganjar, it's FREE and the audience, who are supporters of Presidential Candidate 02, don't mind stopping the concert. This one is paid, many are disappointed with NDX AKA, including me," commented the account @riyan_h27 on Wednesday, January 10, 2024, using Javanese language.

NDX AKA did not stay silent in response to the disappointment of their fans. Yonanda Frisna Damara was found giving a lengthy clarification to respond to a comment from one of their fans.

"Brother, I apologize, we are just artists who follow the committee's instructions. The committee does not want any political elements in the event, they are afraid that it will be difficult to get future permits approved. The committee is neutral, and we also urge the person or audience to differentiate between this paid event and a political event. It's a pity for friends who want to watch peacefully. We have performed 8 songs, only 1 short, but when disappointed and hateful, no matter how we explain, the result is still hatred. But I apologize if I made a mistake," explained Yonanda.

3. Will Perform in Bali Again Soon

Anyway, NDX AKA will soon perform in Bali, precisely on January 20, 2024. This time, their concert has a political element, as it is organized by one of the Presidential Candidates. They will not be alone, as they will also perform together with Tipe X and several other artists who are still kept secret.
