Vice President Ma'ruf Amin hopes that the Korean Pop, popularly known as K-Pop, trends would inspire Indonesia's youth to be more creative and active in promoting national culture to the international stage.

"The popularity of K-Pop will inspire the emergence of creativity among youth in Indonesia for them to create and introduce the cultural diversity of Indonesia to other countries," Vice President Ma'ruf Amin said in a statement on the commemoration of a centennial of Koreans arriving in Indonesia.

The love of many Indonesians for K-pop shows that the musical taste of the country has a place in Indonesia. The Korean wave also carries the influence of Korean culture in Indonesia. Aside from pop music, there is also food, drama, film, and fashion.

Apart from the entertainment industry, the VP said that it also strengthened bilateral relations between Indonesia and Korea in the economic, social, and cultural sectors. Hence, he hoped the trend can increase cooperation between the two countries, especially in the economic field.

"Young people in Indonesia are getting to know K-pop artists and watch Korean dramas. Indonesian people's interest in Korea has also stimulated the increase of Indonesian tourists to Korea. I hope that more Korean tourists will also come to Indonesia," he added.

With the 100th anniversary of the first Korean tourist visit in Indonesia, Ma'ruf Amin wishes to strengthen the good relationship between the countries.

"A good relationship is increasingly beneficial for the citizens of the two countries. The 100th-anniversary is an important moment to further enhance good relations and cooperation between the two countries," he said. (Antaranews)
