Meanwhile, for the grand final of KWC Indonesia 2022 will be held on June 26, 2022 at the Hard Rock Cafe - Jakarta.

"The assessment of this KWC event is very universal, because each representative jury from all participating countries will assess each contestant and of course each has a different perspective in assessing contestants from other countries, because each jury will not give a score to contestants from their own country, as well as the technical voting process which can only be done by voters from different countries, not from their own country. That is the challenge and uniqueness of this KWC event," said Andy Jobs, as the representative holder of the KWC license in Indonesia.

The hope is that Indonesia's representative can bring home the champion title again as happened in 2021.

As is known, in the KWC 2021 event, Shabrina Leonita emerged as the winner. Later, she will also be invited to attend KWC 2022 in Norway to perform as a guest star and depart with one selected contestant who will represent Indonesia in the future.
