Manifest, which has become one of Turkey's most talked-about music groups, took the stage at Istanbul's KüçükÇiftlik Park the other evening. The concert, which was held with an 18+ age restriction for the first time, drew significant interest. However, it was not the group itself, but the costumes and dance performances on stage that sparked controversy after the concert.
The Istanbul Chief Public Prosecutor's Office announced that an ex officio investigation had been launched against the group for "lewd acts" and "exhibitionism" due to the performances.
SOCIAL MEDIA REACTION TO THE INVESTIGATION
Following the news of the investigation, messages of support for Manifest flooded social media. Thousands of users expressed their reaction to the legal process initiated against the music group, creating a trending topic with the hashtags used.
Fulya Öztürk, who described the Manifest concert as "horrific" on her social media account, also became the focus of the controversy.
