Here are all those who has ever been a JKT48 member. They are divided by "generation", or recruitment batch. Names listed below are written in registered form only, except for those whose names were not listed in above sections or those who have their names added on.
First generation s. The 28 first generation members of JKT48 were selected out of approximately 1,200 applicants. Following interviews in September 2011 and auditions held on 8–9 October 2011, 51 candidates were selected to proceed to the second round. These finalists were judged based on their dance performance to AKB48's single "
Heavy Rotation", and singing a song of their choice. Members were announced following a six-hour final audition session on 2 November 2011. They were placed in Team J. Rena Nozawa was the only first generation member who was not an Indonesian and also the first Japanese member in the group. Upon Gabriela Margaret Warouw's graduation on 14 August 2022, this generation became the third batch to fully graduate from the group.
Second generation The group's management began accepting applications for second generation members on 13 August 2012. Of the 4,500 applicants, approximately 200 were selected for interviews the following month. The pool was then narrowed down from 67 to 31 in a selection round broadcast by partnering television channel
RCTI. All 31 finalists were eventually chosen as second-generation members at a final audition on 3 November 2012 in Japan. Of the second-generation members, 18 were chosen as part of the original Team KIII formed on 25 June 2013, while the rest were grouped as trainees. This is, as of the 13th generation (2024), the only generation never to have any of its members as the
