How I became interested in Southeast Asia(6)

Brief story of how I became interested in Southeast Asia including Indonesia

In 2015, I began my own business of market research and consulting in Indonesia, KOWATREE based upon my experience in Bandung. 

And I have further joined ASEAN Business Center, a Southeast Asia-specialized consulting service provider since 2016. I have conducted several market research projects for the Thailand government.

 

I also led a Korean fintech delegation to Jakarta so that they would develop the Indonesian fintech market. Nowadays the importance of Southeast Asia is getting highlighted as the region's economic clout has been growing in the international stage. 

How I became interested in Southeast Asia(4)

Brief story of how I became interested in Southeast Asia including Indonesia

This role gave me an opportunity to be hired by QS Asia, an Asia-Pacific branch of QS. As a marketing and PR director for the Korean and Japanese market, I went back and forth between Singapore and Seoul in 2011~2012. 

In doing so, I could observe the situation of the contemporary higher education industry in Asia. Actually, this is when I was seriously linked to Southeast Asia first. The reason is that I stayed and worked in Singapore, the most-advanced country in the region.

It was Indonesia in which country I was involved after Singapore. Around the summer of 2013, I made up my mind to apply for a position at a newly-established company by my Indonesian friend and Korean friend in Bandung, Indonesia.

Why Indonesia(2)

An overview of Indonesia

Relationship between Indonesia and South Korea is getting closer as well. More and more young generation in Indonesia goes wild with South Korean celebrities while South Korean electronic goods, IT gadgets and food gain huge popularity among the public. 

In fact, the number of Indonesian visitors to South Korea already reached 200,000 in 2014. On the other hand, as many as 2,200 South Korean businesses have been actively involved in Indonesia to navigate a new growth engine such as Halal market to cope with the 21^st century.

Against this circumstance, it is a pity that Indonesia hasn’t been properly presented to South Koreans yet. Publications on Indonesia have mostly been focusing on tourism to Bali or Indonesian language learning. This is where ‘Why Indonesia’ initiates.
