JKT48 ( pronounced J- K- T- 4 8 ) is Indonesia’s premier girl group, established in 2011 as the first international sister group of Japan’s AKB48. Based in Jakarta, which is the capital and largest city of Indonesia, located on the northwest coast of the island of Java, the group has become a cultural phenomenon, by blending music, fan interaction, and performance into a unique idol experience, having first adopted the concept of "idols you can meet", before switching to "idols that will come to meet you" in April 2018.

Their official management company PT Indonesia Musik Nusantara, is established on June 8, 2014, in Surabaya, East Java, the company is headquartered in South Jakarta.

The group opened their own theater to hold regular performances under the name "JKT48 Theater" located on the 4th floor of the fX Sudirman shopping mall in Central Jakarta, Jakarta on 8 September 2012, where fans can attend daily performances which are subject to change at any time at this time.

While JKT48 membership is not limited to any nationality, applicants must be residents of Indonesia. As of 1 May 2025 evening, the group has 57 individual members.

On 16 February 2013, JKT48 released its first studio album Heavy Rotation via Hits Records, a division of MNC subsidiary PT Star Media Nusantara. The group typically performs songs by AKB48 and other sister groups translated into Indonesian. The group released their first original single "Rapsodi" in January 2020.
