Members of the famous all-girls “idol” group BNK48 are scheduled to call on Prime Minister General Prayut Chan-o-cha at Government House on Tuesday.

 

The meeting is part of a public relations event to promote the Public Relations Department’s Happy Family Radio project, which aims to attract younger listeners to its radio station, FM 105 MHz.

 

The young singers will meet with the PM at his office in the morning, accompanied by Government spokesman Lt-General Sansern Kaewkamnerd, who is concurrently the PRD’s caretaker director-general.

 

 

Among the BNK48 singers to call on General Prayut are the band’s “captain” Cherprang Areekul, deputy bandleader Jennis Oprasert, Napapat Woraprueksanon, Warattaya Deesomlert, Praewa Suthampong, Kantira Watcharatassanakul, and Rinrada Inthaisong.

 

Named after Bangkok, the group is the Thai sister group of Japan’s idol girl group AKB48. It has 26 members as of February.

Pretty. Now let's use them for propaganda. It never works.

I'm sure that many of us here will equally be willing to give deep hospitality and entertain these fine artists at home on a courtesy call !!

What a combination, the songwriter meets the band! Can't wait for the hits to grace the airwaves. 

Twerk meets twerkers.

''its a show about nothing''..Jerry Sienfeld

Band? Looks like a dance troupe. Why are there so many of them, and where are their musical instruments?

Just hold on, I am top of the list. I have a twelve-year-old daughter, the house resonates to the sound of their "music". I deserve some recompense...

Darn straight.

I'm at least going to  look them up on YouTube and enjoy a few minutes of entertainment.

 

Truly, a meeting of contrasting personalities.

 

One  desses up in gaudy costumes, singing juvenile verses and has practically no fans. The other is a famous idol group.

Forgive us, Lemmy. We have failed you...

...or as some say just another Thai copy. And the propaganda stunt will fall short as another lousy copy in comparison with those the mother of all PR stunts, Kim Jong Un, brings on stage. At least here they try to copy the best.

P will be delighted when they turn up in their traditional Thai costumes as displayed in the OP photos... until they all start twerking.

Furthermore, what could they and the military junta chief possibly have to say to one another, apart from 'Gin khao yang?' followed by an awkward silence...

Devils Den has a ten girl special for about $600 USD.

 

I guess outfits cost more.

Oh for God's... Who is the man in your house?

Irresponsible parenting is letting one's daughter get away with playing this bubblegum crap and not cranking up their Judas Priest albums to ten times the volume she is playing her music at by way of response...

How can a group of this size make money when they do concerts? So many people to pay, and that's even without musicians and crew. 

This is the Thai version of Nixon meets Elvis...

 

apparently the girls will all receive DSI badges

Nixon was elected.

 

Elvis got to where he was on talent.

 

So some big differences...

agree. That's why I called it "Thai version", not "copy"

The Dinosaur will just tell them to cover up from neck to ankle in 300 year old clothes and sing ONLY songs that he writes or they will all be decapitated !
