This study examines the crisis communication strategies of the JKT48 Operational Team (JOT) following the 2025 “No Encore” incident, which emerged after the viral circulation of an inappropriate photo involving the group’s General Manager and escalated into a major reputational crisis. The controversy triggered strong fan backlash and culminated in the symbolic withdrawal of support during the Full House 2025 concert. Using a qualitative case study approach, this research analyzes organizational responses through interviews with fans, observations of social media interactions, and documentation of official statements. Data were interpreted using thematic analysis and compared with the principles of the Situational Crisis Communication Theory (SCCT). The findings show that JOT’s initial clarification was perceived as slow and insufficient, contributing to heightened dissatisfaction and crisis escalation. However, the second clarification and the introduction of FanSpace, a structured two-way dialogue forum, marked a shift toward more transparent and participatory communication. Fan responses indicate that FanSpace helped reduce tensions and demonstrated managerial willingness to listen, though full trust recovery requires consistent follow-up actions. This study highlights the importance of speed, openness, and dialogic engagement in crisis communication within fan-based entertainment industries. The implications emphasize that organizations must adopt adaptive, audience-centered communication strategies to rebuild legitimacy and restore public trust after preventable crises.

This qualitative study examines the Public Service Performance Gap at the Ponorogo Regency Transportation Agency (Dishub) in managing high-risk traffic assets, which stems from the failure to synergise Normative Governance with operational Public Asset Management (MAP). Utilising Edwards III's Policy Implementation Model and GG/NPS principles, the core finding indicates that synergy failure is mediated by a Reactive Bureaucratic Disposition. While Dishub adheres procedurally, asset maintenance is largely reactive—performed only after damage or public complaint—not preventive. This non-responsive attitude limits accountability to reporting outputs disconnected from physical service outcomes, leading to low service quality. The proposed substantive solution is to activate Community Involvement (NPS) as a key moderator, which is currently weak, by integrating Functional Participation into the agile MAP cycle. The research recommends an e-governance system with KPIs, where transparently integrated citizen reports automatically trigger work orders, creating external public accountability pressure that forces the reactive bureaucracy to act proactively.

This Community Service Program (PkM) was carried out at PT Golden Visalux with the aim of enhancing the effectiveness of the company’s operational cost budget control.
