The Andela Saga

Few days ago, Andela announced her withdrawal from JKT48 due to health reason that made it almost impossible for her to dance and doing physical training via Twitter. Albeit not explicitly saying what is the main cause of her “health issue”, it is clear that she meant serious business when she tweeted her decision as captured here.

“Because of an illness which has made dance and physical training not possible, I apologize for recent inactivity.”

Rumors then started to flying around and one rumor surfaced that her condition got something to do with her lower-abdomen area as captured here.

What captured is a chat between a woman that is probably Andela’s mom and a fans.

“It’s gonna be long to fully explain it here. She felt pain in her lower-abdomen area when she did physical training and dancing.”

Whether it is appendicitis, hernia, or something else that requires a tremendous amount of time to heal (knock on the wood), we will never really know until Andela herself went public with her medical condition.

That being said, the fans all are ready to say good bye to Andela until…

Jiro Inao announced something on the theater that sounds something along this line:

Management is attempting to find a solution regarding Andela’s condition. For now, she will continue rest.

There you go. Reminds you a lot to Ghaida’s old case, no?

With this level of uncertainty, both parties involved needs to work their way out as soon as possible since it is us, the fans, who are all left stranded in the middle of nowhere without any saying whatsoever.

That being said, Andela’s handshake event tickets were sold out. Will there be an Andela’s refund event instead, we will never know until further notice from both parties.
