KOREA FOUNDATION

Hello! Please say hello to the readers of the Monthly ASEAN Culture House.

Halo!! Apakabar. We are Laki-Laki Korea. We opened a YouTube channel filled with curiosity about Indonesia. Currently, we are creating content that provides direct and indirect experiences of Indonesian culture, including food, music, fashion, and sports.

The Global Influencers Network has appointed you as its global ambassadors. Could you tell us more about this?

As global ambassadors, we share the wonders and beauty of Korea along with more than 150 global influencers. Ourgoal is to showcase the hidden charms of Korea that foreigners might not know about, such as certain festivals and tourist attractions. A while ago, we filmed content with global ambassador influencers where we turned off our mobile phones and stayed in nature. Through this, we believe that we were able to promote the beautiful nature of Korea to the wider world.

We heard that you have also experienced the love of Korean culture in Indonesia.

Content such as K-pop and Korean dramas and movies has always been popular, but what surprised us is that Korean soccer is also getting a lot of attention. Since Shin Tae-yong was appointed as Indonesia's national coach, the interest in Korean soccer has really grown there. Also, Indonesian soccer star Asnawi is affiliated with Ansan FC, which is also raising interest in Korean soccer.

Finally, a word to the readers of the Monthly ASEAN Culture House, please.

Indonesia is filled with beautiful places and warm people. We hope that many people will come to be interested in Indonesia through Laki-Laki Korea and the Monthly ASEAN Culture House. We will continue to do our best in bridging Korea and Indonesia, a country full of fun and romance!
