South Korean culture has quite a big influence on the development of fashion trends in Indonesia. The Indonesian people’s interest in K-pop nuanced products and styles cannot be separated from the K-wave phenomenon which began in the 1900s until now.

The style of K-pop idols and K-drama actors/actresses has become an inspiration for fashion among young people. Korean Trend, or abbreviated as K-trend, is predicted to continue to increase in 2024.

“Korean culture is one of the cultures with the most dynamic development. The influence it brings is also quite impactful on the global stage, including Indonesian society,” said iStyle.id Chief Marketing Officer Dennis Fabian, at the iStyle.id Media Gathering event: K-trend Forecast in 2024 at Gwangjang Market, Tebet, South Jakarta, Thursday (23/11/2023).

If in 2023 soft pastel colors will dominate, then next year, striking bright palettes will be the trend. Bertha predicts that electric bursts of color will be seen a lot.

“Next year there will be lots of vibrant colors like blue or electric pink,” he said.

The K-pop group NewJeans is a fashion icon that is predicted to become a reference for young people in style in 2024. This can be seen from the concept they promote every time they make a comeback and immediately become trendsetters.

“NewJeans has made several comebacks, its appearance always becomes a reference. For example, backpacks and hats decorated with dolls or rabbit ear headbands. I think New Jeans will still be a trendsetter in 2024 because in Indonesia there are so many fans,” explained the owner of the YOUNGWOONG and TOOYOUNG fashion brands. .
