1 month of vocal lessons for the girls, acchan fuck ass bob, their face cards were already on the making, 3 cents of profit per share in their wallet…. but they still made history
I'm still so sad MNL48 disbanded. It shook the entire 48G fandom especially Filipinos like me🥹 Their management was ass and everything was provided by the members, I'm so happy they stayed strong. We demand justice for these girls.
Mantan member generasi pertama sekaligus mantan manajer, Abby, blak-blakan membongkar manajemen MNL48 di Instagram pribadinya setelah ia diserang oleh fans lokal. Berikut adalah poin-poin pentingnya:
1. Kostum Rusak Kebanjiran: Kostum dan sepatu lama MNL48 hancur karena kebanjiran, makanya manajemen terpaksa harus bikin yang baru.
2. Masalah MV Koisuru Fortune Cookie (2026): Alasan kenapa di MV tersebut pelafalan liriknya gak pas kemungkinan karena ada masalah hak cipta dengan manajemen lama, sehingga liriknya harus ditulis ulang. Tapi untungnya masalah ini akhirnya selesai.
3. Manajemen Baru Lepas Tangan: Manajemen yang baru tidak memfasilitasi latihan, tidak menyediakan kostum, tidak menyediakan panggung, bahkan belum menandatangani kontrak resmi dengan para member.
4. Eksploitasi Live Streaming: Manajemen Filipina abai dengan kondisi kesehatan para member. Mereka memaksa member untuk live streaming dengan jadwal yang padat banget. Kalau member menolak atau gak memenuhi target, gajinya bakal dipotong.
5. Kasus Member Gen 5 (Riri): Riri tinggal di desa dan punya kendala finansial untuk bolak-balik berkegiatan di Manila. Abby berniat baik membantu dengan memberikan gaji dua kali lipat. Sialnya, manajemen justru memanfaatkan hal ini dengan menaikkan target live Riri dari yang tadinya 48 jam seminggu, naik jadi 80 jam, sampai diperas hingga 100 jam seminggu.
6. Kerja Keras Member Diklaim Sepihak: Wida (Gen 5) berhasil menarik sponsor dan mengamankan jadwal manggung di sebuah festival musik. Tapi, manajemen malah mengklaim kalau itu hasil kerja keras mereka, dan parahnya lagi, manajemen malah mengacaukan acara tersebut.
7. Fasilitas Minim saat Kerja: Pihak penyelenggara acara eksternal tidak menyediakan ruang tunggu maupun makan malam. Manajemen pun cuek dan tetap menyusun jadwal yang super padat tanpa memedulikan kesehatan fisik para member.
8. Member Jepang Telantar: Manajemen tidak menyediakan tempat tinggal maupun fasilitas Wi-Fi yang layak untuk member asal Jepang, Mirai (padahal Wi-Fi wajib untuk live). Untuk alat, informasinya telah diperbaiki staff, namun tidak. Akhirnya, Mirai terpaksa menumpang tinggal di apartemen Abby.
9. Akun TikTok Ditahan: Setelah para member menerima surat pemberitahuan bahwa kontrak mereka dengan pihak Jepang tidak diperpanjang, mereka meminta manajemen Filipina (lewat staf keuangan) untuk memutuskan hubungan akun TikTok mereka dari agensi. Namun, permintaan ini ditolak mentah-mentah.
10. Member Modal Sendiri: Para member harus patungan dan pakai uang pribadi untuk ikut kegiatan, tampil, bahkan untuk membiayai operasional grup agar MNL48 tetap bisa bertahan berjalan.
Tahun lalu, kostum panggung untuk lagu Oh My Pumpkin ternyata dibikin sendiri oleh Abby. Berdasarkan postingan Instagram Andi (Gen 1), dia yang turun tangan mengurus manajemen beberapa proyek. Terus, alasan kenapa MNL48 masih bisa masuk TV dan radio setahun belakangan ini adalah berkat bantuan Dana (Gen 1).
Mulai dari kostum, cari kerjaan sampingan, sampai urusan manajemen, semuanya dikerjain sendiri sama member. Manajemen baru cuma tahu beres dan cuma fokus bikin program live streaming, kalau member tidak live, gaji dipotong.
Catatan Tambahan Lainnya:
Di dalam isi chat yang bocor itu, orang manajemen yang berdebat sengit sama member adalah staf keuangan dari manajemen lama.

Why c Abby pinag iinitan nila? She didn't make the rules & mas lalong hindi sya ang dapat mag labas ng pera to fund the luxuries. She has the right to leave sa laki ba nman ng sinakripisyo nya. Kung iisipin si Abby, Dana & Andi pa nga ang ginatasan ng MNL48 group. 🫠
#MNL48
D ko inexpect na nag-disband na yung #MNL48
Since bata pa ako, sobrang love ko na yung 48G kaya nag-audition ako from 1st Gen hanggang 5th Gen
Thank you, MNL48. Because of you, I was able to pursue my dream of becoming an idol through #ASFIRE 🥺
HERE ARE THE FACTS FROM THE SCREENSHOTS:
1. Abby wants the girls to stop performing in the Wonderful Moments because of the unpleasant treatment that they received.
2. HHE staffs are still in the new Management like Hazel and others.
3. Miyaka's ate blames Abby.
#MNL48 MNL48
I'VE COMPILED ALL THE TRUTHS ABOUT #MNL48 SO YOU WON'T HAVE TO:
1. HHE staff members were later transferred into MNL48 Inc., which was eventually renamed POS Inc. due to trademark issues.
2. Everything was going great for MNL48 because of the efforts of GM Abby, Andi, and Dana. However, after Sulong Con, MNL48 suddenly stopped posting. It seems that Kurosawa started a legal battle against the new management, which forced them to rename MNL48 Inc. to POS Inc. and even attempt to change the MNL48 branding itself. Little did they know that Kuro P still had access to Spotify and Apple Music, which caused the songs and releases to disappear. That was when they realized that Kuro P could still copyright and control everything while the legal battle was ongoing, which eventually led them to give up.
3. It seems that GM Abby's didn't chose to renew her contract earlier this May, which was also the same date she was announced as the GM of MNL48, or she resigned due to the inactivity and the constant criticism calling her a useless manager. However, the real reason appears to be the ongoing legal battle, which prohibited the use of MNL48 social media accounts. That is why we barely heard anything from MNL48 for such a long time until the release of the PFC 2026 MV, which seemed to be Abby's last appeal to management. She might have even spoke to Kuro P, in exchange for Abby leaving the group, before the PFC MV was suddenly published.
4. Former MNL48 members Riri and Maj shared screenshots of conversations with Miyaka's older sister, Elijah Mazza. However, those screenshots were later used against Abby, with accusations being directed at her because she was part of management and also a former member. It is unfair to claim that Abby tolerated everything when we didn'tknow what really happened she was obviously pointing finger to Abby but in the screenshots involving Abby on an event, where Abby asked Maj to go home by booking her a Grab ride at Abby's own expense because she was worried that Maj would be left alone in the hotel room without food and without any adult supervision. Ethan, who was the road manager of the group, was also not allowed to stay in the same room because they were of different genders.
5. Livestreaming was not part of the members' original contracts. However, Livebuzz later insisted on introducing livestreaming, which resulted in the members being given new contracts related to livestream activities. The members were reportedly required to complete hourly quotas before receiving their salary. Hazel, a former HHE employee, was the one handling this system. Based on the screenshots, Hazel was reminding Riri that she needed to complete her required livestream hours. Riri's required hours appeared to be longer than most members because Abby insisted on doubling her salary due to Riri being far from her family. Unfortunately, management also increased the number of hours Riri had to render, which eventually caused her exhaustion and burnout. Based on the situation, Abby did not directly manage the livestreaming side because it was under Livebuzz and not MNL48 itself, meaning Abby had little to no control over it since the instructions came from the Japan management.
6. The new management eventually left Abby to face the backlash and anger of the fans. Mirai even had to stay at Abby's apartment for some time. Abby also used her own van for transportation, her studio for livestreaming at certain points, and even her own apartments whenever members needed a place to stay late.
7. At this point, all copyrights now appear to be handled again by HHE or Kuro P, as seen on Spotify and Apple Music. It seems that he ultimately won the legal battle. Maybe there are plans to bring back MNL48 in the future, or maybe he will simply continue collecting the royalties. That is the whole story.
SALAMAT SA MUSIKA, MNL48 ❤️
