In 2021, approximately three years ago, the public was excited by the emergence of a group called Warkopi . The name of this group immediately went viral because its members, namely Dimas, Alfin, and Sepriadi, had similarities with the legendary comedy trio Warkop DKI. Not only similar, this group also carried the concept of plek ketiplek with Warkop DKI , so they immediately garnered a lot of attention and controversy.
Not only about the similarities, the group known as Warkopi was also accused of plagiarism, especially regarding the name and concept used. Most people felt as if they were "copying" Warkop DKI which has become part of Indonesian comedy history. Inevitably, this copyright and image issue even involved Indro Warkop, one of the members of Warkop DKI, who also spoke out about Warkopi.
This copyright issue finally reached a resolution, Warkopi finally decided to change their group name to Makuboys. Now they are back with a new appearance. Curious about their changes?
