AbstractThe era of globalization makes foreign cultures or
foreign current western slowly and surely will eliminate native
culture of a country that has a culture of its national base in
countries such as Indonesia, which influenced the presence of a
foreign culture, a culture of South Korea that currently favored by
the public. Korean Wave is a term that refers to the popularity of
South Korean pop culture abroad. The development of the Korean Wave
introduced by South Korea in the form of movies, music, style of
dress that make Indonesian culture somewhat faded and replaced. An
example is the Indonesian people rarely use batik clothes, they are
more frequently used models of clothing that became a trend of
South Korea. This is due to the number of films and music South
Korea goes into Indonesia, which has always been a spectacle
Indonesian people every day, especially the teenagers.Key Words:
Globalization, Culture
I. INTRODUCTION
Globalization is a process of idea that come up, then offered to
be followed by other nations who eventually come to a point of
agreement with and become guidelines for nations around the world.
Then the notion of culture itself is something that will affect the
level of knowledge and includes a system of ideas or ideas
contained in the human mind, so that the culture is abstract.Trend
of South Korean culture or commonly called the Korean Wave lately
is being favored by the people in some Asian countries, and
foreign. One of the Korean Wave spreader occurs because emerging
boyband and girl band. Beautiful face, cool and trendy style,
attractive appearance, convenient and supported music heard and
supported with powerful dance that causes many teens like boyband
and girl band from South Korea, such as the boy band Super Junior
and girl group Girls Generation is now much-loved community as
handsome-faced and multitalented.Korean Wave itself is not only
happening in the culture of music itself, even south Korean dramas
are also not far from the attention of todays society. Romantic
love story, backed up by the players (actors and actresses) and the
storyline is interesting in the appeal of the South Korean drama
itself.In addition, South Korean modern dress styles are now become
a trend among the people of Indonesia, its been a lot of clothing
stores that sell modern clothing that becoming a trend in South
Korea. Communities like these clothes because the clothes are
simple models and also look good.The typical food of South Korea
also concern in society, the South Korean food tends to be spicy
and rich in these spices, matched with the tongue of Indonesia
people, as well as kimchi, ramen noodles, bulgogi, rice cakes, fish
meatballs and snacks are also typical of South Korea. Now it is no
longer rare we come across a restaurant that sells unique culinary
of South Korea. Even now in Indonesia also featured television ads
biscuit products from South Korea with commercials from South
Korean actor.With the Korean Wave, the tours in South Korea become
the most desirable tourist destination for most people for now. The
development of the Korean Wave in Indonesia is a manifestation of
globalization in communications and cultural dimensions. If the
Korean Wave is not accompanied by an appreciation of national
culture, there will be a shift in cultural values of national
culture becomes marginal (periphery).Among adolescents is the
biggest recipient of the Korean Wave in Indonesia. In fact,
adolescence is a milestone in national development. If teens do not
know now already own culture, then the national culture can become
extinct and replaced with a new culture that is not fully in
accordance with the personality of Indonesian national origin.
Therefore, the Indonesian people should be aware of the negative
effects that arise as a result of the Korean Wave that indigenous
Indonesian culture still has a high cultural value in the eyes of
the people of Indonesia.II. THEORYTICAL FRAMEWORK
Cultural globalization refers to the transmission of ideas,
meanings and values around the world in such a way as to extend and
intensify social relations. This process is marked by the common
consumption of cultures that have been diffused by the Internet,
popular culture media, and international travel. This has added to
processes of commodity exchange and colonization which have a
longer history of carrying cultural meaning around the globe. The
circulation of cultures enables individuals to partake in extended
social relations that cross national and regional borders. The
creation and expansion of such social relations is not merely
observed on a material level. Cultural globalization involves the
formation of shared norms and knowledge with which people associate
their individual and collective cultural identities. It brings
increasing interconnectedness among different populations and
cultures.Globalization is reshaping how we have traditionally gone
about studying the social world and human culture and a field of
globalization studies is now emerging across the disciplines
(Appelbaum and Robinson, 2005). These globalization studies arose
around several sets of phenomena that drew researchers attention
from the 1970s onwards. One was the emergence of a globalized
economy involving new systems of production, finance and
consumption and worldwide economic integration. A second was new
transnational or global cultural patterns, practices and flows, and
the idea of global culture(s). A third was global political
processes, the rise of new transnational institutions, and
concomitantly, the spread of global governance and authority
structures of diverse sorts. A fourth was the unprecedented
multidirectional movement of peoples around the world involving new
patterns of transnational migration, identities and communities.
Yet a fifth was new social hierarchies, forms of inequality, and
relations of domination around the world and in the global system
as a whole.The theory of globalization today is a field of
intensive and multidisciplinary debate. Attendees are numerous, and
often opposing views of the mentioned phenomena. The efforts
towards defining globalization most often highlight its individual
aspects. Numerous definitions emphasize economic dimensions of
globalization. Removing "artificial" barriers to flow of goods,
services and factors of production on the world market (as the
consequence of modern development of transport and communication
means) is seen as a crucial channel of international integration.
Thus, globalization is defined as integration on the basis of the
project, which expands the role of markets on a global level
(McMichael, 2000).There are also definitions that emphasize other
relevant dimensions of globalization social, geographic,
psychological. Globalization is understood as a social process in
which geographic obstacles to social and cultural arrangements lose
importance and where people are becoming increasingly aware that
they lose importance (Waters 1995, p.3). Another definition of
globalization, as intensification of worldwide social relations
which link distant localities in such a way that local happenings
are shaped by events occurring many miles away and vice versa, is
well known (Giddens, 1990, p. 64). Globalization is also defined as
compression of the world and intensification of consciousness of
the world as a whole (Robertson, 1992, p. 8).Even this small sample
of definitions is sufficient to conclude that globalization is a
complex phenomenon with multiple effects, which makes it hard to
define. There are, in fact, three possibilities for defining
globalization (Mittelman, 2006, p. 64). First, it can be defined as
intensification of global flows of goods and production factors,
facilitated by modern transportation and communication means.
Globalization can also be defined as a compression of time and
space in a way that events in one part of the world have
instantaneous effects on distant locations. The third approach is
to comprehend globalization as a historical structure of material
power. Globalization represents historical transformation in the
economy, politics and culture (Mittelman, 2006, p. 64).The driving
force of globalization is certainly the progress of technology. It
speeds up the effects of globalization, and contributes to
essential transformation of the functioning of economic systems. ''
... International economy is no longer divided vertically to
separate national economies, but involves a number of different
levels or types of market activities, which spread horizontally
over a wider area of virtual space - replacing physical geography
of national borders with quasi geography of market structures,
transaction costs and informational cyber space.'' (Jaki, 1997, p.
13)The theory of globalization is a very propulsive area of
research, but composed of contributions from many authors.
Therefore, it is necessary to systematize sometimes quite
heterogeneous understandings of globalization. Quite spread out,
but, for the purposes of further consideration, an entirely
appropriate classification of globalization theories differentiates
three courses of analysis of this multidimensional phenomenon
(Held, McGraw, 2007, p. 2):1. hyperglobalists2.
transformationlists3. skeptics.Another classification of
globalization theories is also possible. It consists of three
theoretical orientations (Mileti, 2007, p. 176):1. structural2.
conjuctural3. social-constructivist.
III. ANALYSIS
a. Concept of Globalization.To understand the notion of
globalization, we first need to know the origin of the term
globalization. The term globalization is derived from the English
globe which means the world or globe. What is globalization?
Globalization is a process leading to the scope of the world. Thus
globalization can be defined as a global process, in which all the
events whether economic, political or cultural happens in one part
of the world can affect the lives of people around the
world.Globalization can also be called a process by which social
relationships and interdependence between people in this world
greater. It is as it says an expert named R. Robertson that
globalization is a process of shrinking the world and the
increasing awareness of the world as a unity, interdependence and
global awareness of the world are united.Another expert named
Martin Albrow said regarding the whole process of globalization
where the world is connected into a single world community, global
community. According AG Mc Grew, globalization refers to the
diversity of relationships and interconnections between communities
that make up the modern world system. Globalization is the process
by which events, decisions and activities in parts of the world
that one can carry important consequences for individuals and
communities in other parts of the world. In addition, M.Waters say
that globalization is a social process in which the obstacles are
geographical, social and cultural fabric of the shrinking and
increasingly everyone is aware that they are getting closer to each
other.Based on a clear understanding of globalization is able to
make a change in the lives of the world that used to be a very
simple multidimensional. Globalization also create stronger
economic ties, politics, technology and culture that is capable of
connecting individuals, communities, businesses and governments
around the world.Globalization makes the fact that the life of the
world into a single unit in a one world, which makes a global
village (global village) with the human life of individuals,
groups, or nations become interdependent (interdependency) in all
aspects of life. In short, the development of information and
communication technology makes the scope of interaction between
people around the world increasingly narrows.There are several
characteristics that indicate the growing phenomenon of
globalization in the world. The first is a change in the concept of
space and time. The development of items such as mobile phones,
satellite television, and the internet shows that the global
communication happens so quickly, while the movement of the masses
through a kind of tourism allows us to feel a lot of different
cultures.Second, market and economic production in different
countries become interdependent as a result of the growth of
international trade, the rising influence of multinational
companies, and organizations such as the dominance of the World
Trade Organization (WTO).Other characteristics that increase
cultural interaction through the development of the mass media
(especially television, movies, music, and transmission and
international sports news). This time, we can consume and
experience new ideas and thoughts on matters that cross diverse
culture, for example in the field of fashion, literature, and the
food. And increased joint problems, for example in the field of
environment, multinational crisis, regional inflation and
others.Kennedy and Cohen concluded that this transformation has
brought us to globalism, a new awareness and understanding that the
world is one. Giddens asserts that most of us are aware that we are
actually taking part in a world that must change uncontrollably
characterized by taste and interest would be the same thing, change
and uncertainty, as well as the fact that might happen.
Correspondingly, Peter Drucker said globalization as an era of
social transformation.Globalization takes place in all areas of
life such as the field of ideological, political, economic, social,
cultural, defense and security and others. Today, the development
of technology is so fast that all the information with a variety of
shapes and interests can be spread widely throughout the world.
Therefore, globalization is unavoidable presence.
b. Globalization of CultureThe word globalization is taken from
the global word, whose meaning is universal. Globalization is seen
as a social process, or the process of history, or a natural
process that will bring the entire nation and the nations of the
world increasingly bound up with each other, realizing a new order
of life by eliminating geographical boundaries, economic and
cultural. Then the notion of culture itself is something that will
affect the level of knowledge and includes the system know the idea
that there are ideas in the human mind, so that the culture is
abstract.Krishna in his opinion Effect of Human Cultural Pluralism
against Globalization in Developing Countries (September 2005), as
a process, globalization takes place through interaction between
the two dimensions in the nation, the dimensions of space and time.
Narrowed more space and more time is shortened in the interaction
and communication on a worldwide scale.In the Wikipedia link, found
the meaning of culture as follows: Culture or cultures derived from
the Sanskrit buddhayah, which is the plural form of buddhi (mind or
sense) is defined as the things pertaining to the mind and human
reason. In English culture called culture, which is derived from
the Latin word Colere, the process or work. Can be interpreted also
as cultivate the land or farming. Culture The word is also
sometimes translated as culture in Indonesian. Thus, it can be
identified that culture or cultures derived from humans through a
process of thinking and acting. It was explained that the culture
has nothing to do with the mind and human reason. Meanwhile,
cultivate land or farming also through the processes of thinking
and acting itself. Meanwhile, experts, each one expressed his
opinion about the culture. According to Edward B. Taylor culture is
a complex whole that contain knowledge, belief, art, morals, law,
customs, and other capabilities from any person as a member of
society. Meanwhile Selo Soemardjan and Soelaiman Soemardi,
according to their culture is a means of work, taste, and
creativity communities.Globalization in culture can develop
rapidly, it is certainly influenced by the speed and ease in
obtaining access to communications and news but this would backfire
and become a problem of its own most crucial or important in
globalization, namely the fact that the development of science
knowledge controlled by developed countries.Discourse of
globalization as a process characterized by the rapid development
of science and technology so that it is able to fundamentally
change the world. Communications and international transport has
removed the boundaries of each nations culture. Culture of each
nation tends to lead to globalization and the world becoming so
involved human civilization as a whole.Simon Kemoni, Kenyan
sociologist said that globalization in a form that will naturally
elevate a variety of cultures and cultural values. In this natural
process, every nation will try to adjust their culture with new
developments so that they can move on and avoid destruction. But,
according to Simon Kimoni, in this process, countries should
strengthen their cultural dimensions and maintain the structure of
values that are not eliminated by a foreign culture. In this
context, various nations must get useful scientific information and
add to their experience.Cultural changes that occurred in the
traditional society, the change from a closed society into a more
open society, from the values that are homogeneous to the pluralism
of values and social norms is one of the effects of globalization.
Science and technology have fundamentally changed the world.
International communication and transportation has removed the
boundaries of each nations culture. Culture of each nation tends to
lead to globalization and the world becoming so involved human
civilization as a whole. For example, specialized in the field of
mass entertainment or entertainment that is mass, meaning that
globalization has become more pronounced.The presence of
information technology and communication technology is able to
accelerate the process of globalization. Globalization touches all
the important aspects of cultural life of the community and how we
are able to react to it. Clearly globalization is creating new
challenges and issues that must be addressed, solved in an effort
utilization globalization for the benefit of Indonesian cultural
life of future generations.
c. Culture of Korea.Republic of South Korea commonly known as
South Korea, is a state in East Asia which includes the southern
portion of the Korean Peninsula. In the north, the Republic of
Korea border on North Korea, where the two come together as a
nation until 1948 Yellow Sea to the west, Japan to be across the
Sea of Japan (called the East Sea by the people of Korea) and Korea
Strait is in part southeast. The country is known as the South
Korean Hanguk by residents and called Namchosn, (South Choson) in
North Korea. The capital of South Korea is Seoul. Archaeological
discoveries show that the Korean Peninsula has been since the early
Paleolithic period. Korean history begins from the formation of
Gojoseon in 2333 BC by Dan-gun. After the unification of the three
kingdoms of Korea under Silla 668 AD, Korea became one under the
Goryeo Dynasty and Joseon Dynasty to the end of the Han Empire
Kingdom in 1910 because it was annexed by Japan. After
liberalization and occupation by the Soviet Union and the United
States at the end of World War II, the Korean territory eventually
divided into North Korea and South Korea.Korean traditional culture
inherited by the people of North Korea and South Korea, although
different political circumstances have resulted in a lot of
difference in modern culture/pop Korea. Korean traditional culture
can be divided into a traditional home, traditional clothing,
cuisine, festivals and traditional Korean games. Korean Traditional
HouseKorean traditional society choose their residence based on
geomancy. Korean Society believes that some form of topography or a
place to have good energy and bad that must be balanced. Geomancy
influence the shape of the building, direction, as well as the
materials used to build it. The house must be built according to
their beliefs contrary to the mountain and facing south to receive
as much sunlight as possible. This method is often encountered in
todays modern life.Korean traditional house (usually the nobles or
the rich) divided into the inner (anchae), a section for men
(Sarangchae), classrooms (Sarangbang) and room maids
(haengrangbang). Great home is influenced by the wealth of a
family. These houses have heated underground called Ondol
functioning during the winter. Traditional Korean ClothingKorean
traditional dress called Hanbok (North Korea calls Choson-ot).
Hanbok dress is divided into upper (jeogori), pants for men (wedge)
and a womans skirt (Chima). Korean people dressed according to
their social status so that clothes are important. People with high
status and royal family enjoy a luxurious clothing and jewelry that
generally cannot buy class people living under poverty.Previously,
Hanbok classified for everyday use, ceremony and certain events.
Hanbok for ceremonial use in formal events such as the first childs
birthday (doljanchi), marriage or death ceremony. Currently Hanbok
is no longer used in everyday activities, but at certain moments is
used. Korean cuisineKorean cuisine is influenced by the shape of
their agricultural culture. Staple food is rice. The main result of
the Korean people is farming rice, wheat and beans. Was abundant
seafood such as fish, squid and shrimp, because Korea surrounded by
three oceans.Korean cuisine is largely molded from the fermentation
that has developed since long. Examples are kimchi and doenjang.
Fermented foods are very useful in providing protein and vitamins
during the winter. Some of the food menu was developed to celebrate
special events such as festivals or ceremonies like birthday child
100th day, first birthday, wedding, 60th birthday, funeral, and so
on. At these events always found rice cakes colorful.Korean food
have different temples of food normally because it prohibits the
use of five types of commonly herbs such as garlic, onions, leeks,
Rocambole (a kind of onion), leeks, ginger and meat. Food Empire
(surasang) is currently very popular because it can be enjoyed by
all of people. Korean FestivalKorean calendar is divided into 24
turning points (jeolgi), which consists of 15 days and it used to
determine the time of planting or harvest in the agrarian society
of ancient times, but at this time is not used anymore. The
Gregorian calendar was introduced in Korea in 1895, but in certain
days like festivals, ceremonies, births and birthdays are still
based on a lunisolar calendar system.The biggest festivals in
Korea, among others, is Seollal (Koreans Imlek), the Korean
community fall right along with the Lunar New Year. Then Daeboreum,
the first full moon festival. There was also a Dano is a spring
festival and Chuseok, the harvest festival or moon cake festival.
Korean Traditional GamesThere are so many games like typical
Korean: Baduk, Igo Korean version. Baduk is very popular among the
elderly. Janggi, an older version of the game Chinese chess,
Xiangqi. Yut, family game which is often played at festivals.
Ssangnyuk, backgammon Korean version. Chajeon nori, the traditional
game of war between two groups of people. Ssireum, a game similar
to wrestling. Tuho, game throwing darts into the pot. Geunetagi,
big swing game. Seokjeon, stone throwing game. Gakjeo, wrestling
from ancient China.Develop a Korean wave is a term that refers to
the popularity of South Korean pop culture abroad. Korean wave
genres ranging from movies, television dramas and pop music
(K-pop). The rapid expansion experienced by South Koreas culture
industry through product shows television dramas, movies, and music
makes it a phenomenon of interest to the general public so
implemented as an international culture that seeks created by South
Korea for the implementation of soft their diplomacy are able to
build the image of South Korea and supports an increase in South
Korea positions in international forums in general and Indonesia as
one of the countries that currently many cultures modeled South
Korea so much to make the country forget the tradition Indonesia
culture.South Korea has developed into one of the most prosperous
countries in Asia are marked with the South Korean economy is now
the third largest in Asia and 13th in the world. It supporting
South Koreas economic revival because no other transportation
technologies industry and communication technology are also
supported by the culture sector through the Korean wave. Penchant
South Korean pop culture started in the Peoples Republic of China
and Southeast Asia began in the late 1990s. The term Korean Wave
adopted by the Chinese media after the Korean pop music album, HOT,
was released in China. South Korean TV drama series began to be
released in China and spread to other countries such as Hong Kong,
Vietnam, Thailand, Indonesia, the Philippines, Japan, United
States, Latin America and the Middle East. At this time, the Korean
Wave will be followed with attention the many South Korean
products, such as food, electronics, music and movies. This
phenomenon helped promote the language and culture of South Korea.
South Korea to various countries.South Korean government is also
very supportive and has a role in the spread of the Korean Wave.
Support is realized by avoiding the onslaught of western
entertainment industry. This makes the South Koreans who have to
create products of mass media itself. In addition, support from the
government is also manifested through a variety of art events such
as film festivals and music of international standard.
d. Cultural Globalization in South Korea and IndonesiaJoseph Nye
in South Koreas growing soft power states: The traditions of
[South] Korean art, crafts, and cuisine have already spread around
the world. Korean popular culture has also crossed borders,
particularly subject among younger people in neighboring Asian
countries Indeed, the late 1990s the rise of the Korean wave the
growing popularity of all Korean things, from fashion and music to
movies and cuisine. Yang Seung Yoon says that there is equality of
Indonesia and South Korea, which put more emphasis on the views and
the achievement of spiritual elements, such as similarities in
outlook and assessment of human life, a sense of awe in the natural
environment and its amendments, as well as respect for ancestors
and other forth. The equation allows the Korean Wave became the
basis for acceptance by the people of Indonesia.Around the last 3
years, many Indonesian people who are not familiar with the term
K-pop or Korean pop. Korean pop is currently widely discussed by
some people, especially the youth due to the fame of K-pop is very
influential on the dynamics of foreign culture into Indonesia.In
this case, many Indonesian teenagers who prefer events from South
Korea rather than having to watch the Indonesian national event.
Starting from their search for information about the actress and
the actor, so that eventually they become idolized South Korean
artists. Indonesia is among countries that are affected by fever
South Korea, it can be seen on television, magazines, and the
Internet in Indonesia are now trying to broadcast or inform the
news about the country of South Korea. Now, some television
stations have broadcast the shows entertainment associated with
South Korea, such as movies, music, and news for each day.In
essence, the South Korean cultural globalization cannot be
separated from the role of the media. Media bring the values of
South Korean culture abroad and became one of the main supporting
cultural globalization movement success of South Korea in the
international world. Lots of media play a role in the spread of
cultural values South Korea in the beginning was the television,
which broadcast Korean dramas. Television is the primary means for
the Indonesian people to get information about everything that is
polarized battle South Korea.Mediate entry of the television
success of South Korean culture in Indonesia cannot be denied to a
domino effect of music and movies. But not only that, even tabloid
magazines or newspapers as mass media in Indonesia also write news
about South Korea as well as information about South Korean culture
through electronic media. Moreover, even the internet can be called
as the most influential media in the globalization of South Korean
culture because not many South Korean movies and music get a spot
in the International mainstream media. This is also the case in
Indonesia.The enormity of the power of the internet in spreading
the Korean Wave can be seen from the height of the flow of
information about South Korean culture on the internet. Social
networking site Twitter noted that during 2010, Super Junior,
famous boy group from South Korea, finished second trending topic
in terms of music. Super Junior is only surpassed by Justin Bieber,
American singer who called the king of twitter (Twitter.com,
December 2010). On the YouTube site, every time the South Korean
singer released a teaser and music video (MV) on YouTube, in a few
days can be watched by more than 1 million people and often even
become top favorite video, most popular, or Most Discussed
(YouTube.com , 2010).Information and communication technology is a
key enabler of globalization. The development of technology is so
fast that all the information with a variety of shapes and
interests can be spread widely throughout the world. Therefore,
globalization cannot avoid its presence. The presence of
globalization is certainly an impact to the life of a country,
including Indonesia.These include the influence of the two sides of
the positive influences and negative influences. The influence of
globalization in various fields of life such as politics,
economics, ideology, socio-cultural and others will affect the
values of nationalism against the South Korean nation is a large
impact on the young generation in Indonesia is being adored Korean
Wave. This is the fear of globalization, that is, when the local
community deify foreign culture, and abandon its own original
culture but we do not feel.Actually we were colonized by the
triumph of Korean Pop Culture in Indonesia. Korean Wave were very
large in Indonesia should be a real morale boosters to make
changes. Korean Wave is basically very interesting to learn and
inspire as middle modernity, there is the spirit of continuous
changes in it, but by not leaving the traditional culture in it.It
became interesting to learn for the young people in Indonesia, that
when we are affected by other cultures that come in, we have a
filter that is culture itself, between tradition and modernists
that can run in harmony, harmony, and balance. In the end, the
triumph of South Korean pop culture (Korean Wave) in Indonesia must
be able to inspire us all to advance and prosper with Indonesian
pop culture. Popular Culture of South Korea vs Indonesia FOOD
similarities: - eat food with rice - usage of spicy chili (dried or
in chili paste)- consist mainly of rice with meat and vegetables
differences:- serve food with special seasonings to make it sourer-
different taste Kimchi, Bimbimbap, Gado-gado, Satay. Korean and
Indonesia have different religions. Most Koreans tend to be
Buddhists, while in Indonesia; most of the populations are Muslims.
Both countries highly respect religion and it plays an important
role for the community in both countries. Both countries also
provide lots of worshiping place in every city for the people to
use (Temples in Korea, and Mosques in Indo). Traditional Clothes
Indonesian & Korean traditional clothes are not the same,
although both countries still preserve their traditional culture
and use the clothes in certain dates. Traditional clothes play an
important role for both countries as it reflects and symbolizes the
culture and originality of both countries. TV Shows Both countries
have similar themes regarding TV Shows. Indonesian Sinetrons are
usually a soap opera, and it usually tells the daily events in the
lives of the same group of character or family. Korean TV shows is
usually themed drama and comedy-romance. Many of Korean dramas have
become popular throughout the world such as Japan, China, North
America, and of course Indonesia. One of the most and critically
acclaimed Korean TV show is Winter Sonata. Music, since the start
of the Korean wave, many Indonesians have started to become
interested and imitate Koreans. Korean music plays an important
role in Indonesia, and throughout the years many people in
Indonesia have made some boy-band and girl-band groups. These boy
and girl-bands in Indonesia have similar themes and style like
Korean boy bands and girl bands. An example of Indonesian boy and
girl bands that imitate the Korean style and themes are Sm*sh,
XO-IX, Cherrybelle, and 7Icons. Popular culture is the entirety of
ideas, perspectives, attitudes, images, and other phenomena that
are within the mainstream of a given culture.
e. Impact of Culture Globalization in South Korea and
IndonesiaIn the development of the Korean Wave in particular about
Korean Pop (K-Pop) itself there are many effects that make this
nation becomes more advanced, but there are also effects that make
this nation into the native culture poor or circuitry other words
forget their own culture.The positive impact of the entry of the
Korean Wave in Indonesia, namely the love of the people at the
higher music. This statement is very clear that with the variation
of new music in Indonesia, it will add a lot of genres of music in
this country, in this case of course the public taste was spoiled
by the presence of K-Pop.Another positive impact is the talent pool
that had been buried within the community, especially the youth,
can be developed or expressed. That is progress in terms of
creativity and modern music. With the K-Pop these young people can
learn about K-Pop art, ranging from dance, though sound, musical
genre, and so forth.Strengthen the relationship between Indonesia
and South Korea is also one of the positive effects of
globalization South Korean culture in Indonesia. In the bilateral
relations between countries between Indonesia with South Korea
alone will certainly indirectly more closely, because this is a
reciprocal relationship that will happen. On the one hand, South
Korea could boost their economies by receiving royalties from album
sales and so on, while the other side of Indonesia as a consumer
can be satisfied by the musical entertainment.In addition, many
teens who are interested to learn the Korean language and culture.
The explanation for this statement is related to science itself.
With the tremendous interest in Indonesian great, pushing some of
K-Pop music lovers is to learn everything related to K-Pop and
country of origin. The K-Pop music lovers will learn the language
of South Korea by way of figuring out the meaning of any lyrics to
the songs that they like. In this case, the knowledge about the
other countries will also be evolved.The impact of South Korean
culture also have a negative impact K-Pop culture that eliminates
many native Indonesian culture of arts such as Indonesian teenagers
now prefer South Korean music rather than listen to dangdut music
which is basically the original music culture of Indonesia, and
also a lot on replacing dangut singer, Indonesian music with
singers currently more homage to the K-Pop, that called a boyband
and girlband by Indonesian society. Currently the existence of
K-Pop already clear that South Korean culture has been slowly
eliminating indigenous cultures of Indonesia and the negative
impact to the country.South Korean cultural influence indigenous
Indonesian culture through arts film that does just that, the
current South Korean films more attractive for the people of
Indonesia were publicly rather than Indonesian films made by native
Indonesian film director and producer, whereas the films work of
the nation is also no less good but because of the globalization of
culture is the one that makes a lot of changes in terms of culture
it is also an impact on the Indonesian income taken from the
culture began to decrease due to the presence of foreign cultures
began contracting and eliminating indigenous cultures of
Indonesia.From the entry of K-Pop culture is much too visible
impact for the people of Indonesia who began to imitate the
lifestyle clothing for example in terms of the origin of the
current South Korean clothing more often seen use of the use of
batik clothes that are native to Indonesia which is also part of
Indonesian culture. The impact of globalization such as these that
make the cultural tastes of Indonesian society began to be replaced
with a foreign culture.
IV. CONCLUSION
Korean Wave Phenomenon has become very influential on Indonesian
society. The fans of Korean Pop and Korean Drama consciously or
unconsciously affect several things ranging from clothing style,
life style, life partner characteristics to interest in South
Korean language. South Koreas interest in the artists interest is
