The popular culture from South Korea has been developing and spreading widely in Indonesia since the 2000s. South Korea continues to expand its popularity for Korean music, Korean dramas, Korean fashion, Korean food, and Korean beauty products in order to attract the attention of all Indonesian citizens. This is known as the Korean Wave.

The biggest result of the Korean Wave, which is highly favored by Gen Z, is Korean Pop, or commonly known as K-Pop. This culture from Korea has a strong influence on its fans. In fact, fans can spend hundreds of millions just to meet their idols. Examples of K-Pop artists who often come to Indonesia to hold concerts are NCT, TREASURE, Super Junior, EXO, aespa, and Red Velvet.

Not only K-Pop artists, it turns out that there are many Indonesian celebrities who go abroad just to watch their favorite boy groups and girl groups' concerts. Who are they? Check out their names below.

1. Syifa Hadju

This beautiful actress not only enjoys acting but also collects K-Pop songs. Syifa Hadju is a fan of the famous Korean group BTS. As a hardcore ARMY, Syifa considers Jungkook and Taehyung as her biases. In fact, Syifa once participated in an event organized by ARMY called 'Army Selca Day' just to gather with other fans.

When Suga BTS came to Jakarta for his concert titled 'AGUST D TOUR 'D-DAY', Syifa attended with Suga's concert poster. The picture of Syifa holding an ARMY Bomb also caused a stir among other ARMYs who couldn't attend the concert.

2. Naura Ayu

Just like Syifa Hadju, the singer of the single 'Cinta' also attended Suga BTS's concert last May 2023. Naura was not alone, she was accompanied by her closest people. It turns out Naura cried when she heard that Suga would bring all the BTS members for a concert in Indonesia, KLovers!

As an ARMY, Naura loves Kim Taehyung very much. She even made a picture of V as her lockscreen on her gadget. In fact, at her 18th birthday party yesterday, there were many BTS decorations. Naura's friends and family also give her a lot of support to always be happy.

3. Tiara Andini

Who doesn't know this beautiful singer? Tiara Andini is also one of the many ARMYs in Indonesia. Tiara openly admits that she idolizes Jungkook. It can be seen from her posts on her personal Instagram account uploaded at the end of January. Tiara uploaded several photos of herself with the caption, "Jungkook, how are you," and she seems to miss Jungkook a lot because he is currently serving in the military.

As reported by Podcast Corner CNN Indonesia at the Allo Bank Festival 2022, Tiara mentioned that she considers K-Pop artists as role models in her life. She dreams of becoming a versatile musician like K-Pop idols.

4. Audi Marissa

Even though she is already married and has children, that doesn't stop Audi Marissa from being a fan of BTS members. Audi often travels abroad not only for vacation but also to visit her Korean branch husband.

This actress, born in May 1995, often uploads photos and videos with BTS members as her obsession. Despite being married to a handsome husband resembling a Korean oppa, Audi Marissa still continues to love BTS unconditionally. It's so cute, KLovers!

5. Agatha Pricilla

Still about BTS, Agatha Pricilla managed to make ARMY go crazy because she was able to vacation and stay at one of the villas used by BTS for shooting In The Soop. The former member of BLINK was dubbed the sultan of ARMY because she was able to stay in the expensive villa where BTS stayed.

Not only that, Agatha Pricilla is also a big fan of NCT. She is willing to travel back and forth between Indonesia and Korea just to meet the NCT members. Agatha Pricilla's bias is Mark Lee. She even made her own signboard that she brought to NCT 127's concert 'THE UNITY' and ended up being noticed by the Canadian rapper. Oh, it's so envy-inducing!

6. Ayu Ting Ting

Unlike Syifa and Naura, Ayu Ting Ting is a big fan of Jin from BTS. Ayu also managed to influence her beloved daughter, Bilqis, to like BTS. The singer of the song 'SAMBALADO' even gave all of BTS's albums as a gift to Bilqis on her 8th birthday. In 2021, Ayu and Bilqis managed to meet BTS at the 'PERMISSION TO DANCE ON STAGE' concert in Los Angeles.

Not only BTS, Ayu and Bilqis are also fans of BLACKPINK. This can be seen when they attended BLACKPINK's concert in Jakarta for two days. Ayu and Bilqis were also seen attending the 2024 Golden Disc Awards held in Jakarta to meet a group of famous boygroups and girlgroups from Korea.

7. Nagita Slavina

The latest celebrity who doesn't want to lose to other K-Pop fans is Nagita Slavina. Nagita and Raffi have often made fun content together with Korean idols, KLovers! Just mention NCT, WayV, Super Junior's Siwon, and ASTRO.

Through the Rans Entertainment YouTube channel, KLovers can find some funny content of Nagita and Raffi's togetherness with K-Pop idols. Their latest content with Korean artists was when NCT 127 visited their new house. In fact, Nagita and Raffi also introduced games and traditional Indonesian food to the members of NCT 127. This certainly allows the original Indonesian culture to be known by more people outside of Indonesia.
