Programme Background:

sectors.

Theme 1 :
Assessing the development of Indonesian studies in Korea and Korean studies
in Indonesia
a. Assessing the current studies of Indonesia in Korea and vice versa
b. Strengthening Indonesia-Korea academic partnership - by building study centres and
university-to-university partnership
The Indonesian-Korean partnership has been growing fast and vast. From cultural
exchange and human resources to technology, both countries have been working hand in
hand to nurture the partnership. However, there is no significant rise in the study of
Korea in Indonesia and vice versa. Although the spirit of learning about one another is
there, there has been a plummet in the institutionalization of the study of both
countries, shown by the number of experts, study centers, and study programs to study
one another.
Theme 2:
The socioeconomic impact of pop culture: lesson learned from Korean
experience
After the Korean Wave hit the globe in the 1990s, Korean pop culture has become part of
almost every country in the world, including Indonesia. Korean pop culture has been openly
accepted and adored by many Indonesians. There are times fans clubs of Korean pop bands
would take their role, not only in supporting their idols but also other important causes.
Charities, environmental campaigns, and even people-driven political actions have been
done by those who adore Korean pop culture. As of today, one of the biggest Korean bands
is also representing Korea by working with UNICEF, BTS is not only a band but a
representative of the nation as a whole.
As Korean pop culture makes up sales and becomes one of the biggest commodities the
country could offer to its international market, it becomes very distinct that not all countries
can do it quite like Korea. Korean pop culture has made everything valuable. It goes from
music, clothes, makeup, skincare products, food, beverages, language, and even Korean
utensils. Everything Korean is celebrated, loved, and, most of all, making a stream of income
for the country.
Theme 3:
Indonesia-Korea Strategic Relations: Present and Future
As much as the Indonesian-Korean partnership has grown, more sectors are yet to be
explored between the two nations. Both countries have worked very closely with each other
in economic sectors, especially the creative economics involving their cultural exchanges.
