He added that Danantara Indonesia will explore how South Korea’s media and entertainment industry continues to advance and gain global recognition. Additionally, the company is opening investment opportunities with South Korea to promote Indonesian culture globally. 

“I think this is something we want to learn from and invest in, while also leveraging it to introduce Indonesian culture globally,” Pandu said. He highlighted the significant potential in developing this creative industry. 

The South Korean Embassy’s Deputy Chief of Mission for Indonesia, Park Soo-Deok welcomed Danantara Indonesia’s initiative positively.? 

“We are impressed by Danantara’s attention to South Korea’s media and entertainment industry,” he said. 

Park noted excellent opportunities for cooperation between Indonesia and Korea in this sector. “Many Indonesians enjoy Korean dramas and K-Pop, so this is a great area for collaboration,” explained Park. 

Indonesia has a large population that actively consumes media and entertainment products. This opens up great opportunities for cooperation between the two countries in developing the creative industry.
