Asadel started her career by joining JKT48 as a Class B Academy member, then Azizi was promoted to Class A on 28 October 2018. On 7 October 2019, she joined Team J until the team was merged into one on 14 March 2021,[7] which resulted in no more Team J, KIII, T, or Academy, and makes Zee and the other JKT48 members together in one team.[8]

Aside from being a singer and dancer in JKT48, Asadel can also play guitar. She often performs solo by rendition of "Eureka Milik Kita" while playing the electric guitar.[9]

Her popularity extends to e-commerce sectors, such as at the Shopee Live event, Asadel, in collaboration with Freya, successfully created an uproar throughout Indonesia.[10] Furthermore, her appointment as the ambassador for Shopee's 8th anniversary solidified her standing in the industry.[11]

In the JKT48 Ramadan event show "Anak King" on April 7, 2024, Asadel announced her graduation plan from the JKT48 group.[12] In a post on her Instagram account, she admitted that it took a year before deciding on her graduation plan.[13] On July 24, 2024, the JKT48 Operation Team announced the schedule for Asadel's graduation theatre show which will be held on August 25, 2024.[14] On August 24, 2024, the JKT48 Operation Team announced that the procession of releasing the kabesha—the profile photos of JKT48 members displayed at the JKT48 Theater—Asadel would be held privately and could be watched live via the official JKT48 YouTube channel.[15] On August 25, 2024, Asadel officially graduated from JKT48 after performing a graduation performance in the Theater Setlist Performance "Aturan Anti Cinta" at the JKT48 Theater.[16][17]

Acting

Asadel made her acting debut in the 2022 Indonesian film, Kalian Pantas Mati, directed by Ginanti Rona. The film is a remake of the South Korean film, Mourning Grave (2014), which was directed by Oh In-chun.[18]

In April 2023, Asadel and several other actors were announced as cast in the Ancika 1995 film, which will be based on the 2021 Pidi Baiq's novel, Ancika: Dia Yang Bersamaku Tahun 1995.[19] The film directed by Benni Setiawan and is a part Dilan franchise. The film has been produced by Enam Sembilan Productions since 3 April 2023.[20]

Controversy

In mid-September 2022, Asadel and Indonesian celebrities (Raffi Ahmad, Angga Yunanda, Refal Hady, Gabriel Prince, Hassan Alaydrus, Uus, Iben MA, Raline Shah, Anya Geraldine, Enzy Storia, and Beby Tsabina) promoted Erigo fashion products in New York Fashion Week, USA.[21] However, after returning to Indonesia, a video circulated that she was suspected of smoking using a pod in the car,[22][23] making fans feel disappointed with the viral video,[22] even though her parents were carrying out the Umrah pilgrimage in Mecca and Medina, Saudi Arabia.[24] Then at the "Teenage Girls" show at the JKT48 Theater on September 25, 2022, Asadel only apologized for the mistakes she had made,[25] without being punished by the JKT48 Operation Team after clarifying with the management,[23] and she was inactive on her social media until October 10, 2022.[24]
