I. Introduction In 2009 Indonesia and Korea updated their five-decade long relationship by initiating a strategic partnership in various fields of cooperation. The heads of states from both countries also stated their interest to continue developing the present relation. In 2011 once again the governments of Indonesia and South Korea signed nine Memorandum of understanding (MoU) in economic cooperation and investment. It is reported that such business partnership agreements could make Indonesia as South Korea‗s main overseas investment hub in the world. The presence of hundreds of Korean companies operating in Indonesia, the steady economic relation, and the increasing number of people visiting respective country especially the cultural exchanges between the two countries have partly shaped the bilateral ties between Indonesia and Korea. In this respect, it is also worth pointing out that two leading universities in Indonesia (Gadjah Mada University-UGM and University of Indonesia-UI) have placed themselves as the center of excellence for Korean studies in Indonesia—which indirectly support and maintain both countries‗ relation. In 2003 Faculty of Cultural Sciences, UGM established the 3-year program on Korean language. Then, the Undergraduate Program of Korean Language was established at Faculty of Humanities, UI in 2006 and at Faculty of Cultural Sciences, UGM in 2007. Both are to cater the increasing demand of young generation‘s interest in Korea-related studies. Supported by the scholars and researchers in Korean studies, both departments have shown an increasing trend of development. In addition, with the support from Korean Embassy and Korea-related institutions like Korea Foundation and KOICA, the departments have developed tremendously in the past five years. Currently, an effort to establish the Master Program in Korean Studies is underway at UGM. Once accomplished, it will widen the range and choices of Korea-related studies for Indonesian students and scholars. Ever since Korea-related studies was introduced at two leading universities in Indonesia, the number of students enrolled and the number of mutual cooperation between the two universities and universities or institutions in Korea and Indonesia 3
alike have flourished. This simple fact indicates the prospective future that Korearelated studies have in Indonesia. This fact also asserts the importance of UGM and UI to play pivotal roles in the future development of Korean studies. This is where INAKOS (The International Association of Korean Studies in Indonesia - 인도네시아국제한국학회) sets in. Established on May 7, 2009, INAKOS attempts to support the current development of Korean studies in Indonesia by accommodating the various interests in Korean studies from international and Indonesian scholars, young generations, and those graduated from Korean institutions to develop the Korean studies at home. However, it is not an easy feat to nurture and develop the presence of INAKOS without mutual cooperation among the members of INAKOS and other institutions within and outside Indonesia. As an international association, INAKOS has a lot to do and prepare in order to maintain and strengthen its existence. It is worth to note (3) three current challenges that INAKOS has to cope with. First, not all Indonesians graduated from Korea would further apply their knowledge and expertise to develop Korea-related studies in Indonesia. Irrespective of the above fact, the number of scholars and students pursuing higher education in Korea is increasing. In itself, this has been a tremendous leap from the previous decade. They are the prospective and promising future of Korean studies in Indonesia. Second, INAKOS has to find ways to secure its place among international communities of Korean studies. Third, INAKOS has to prove its existence by incorporating both academic and nonacademic activities to cater the needs of its members. In the end, it is important to point out that any INAKOS activities must surely give positive impacts to IndonesiaKorea relation at present and future time.

II. INAKOS 1. A Brief History INAKOS was officially established on Thursday, May 7, 2009. Pioneered by the alumni of Korean universities, an idea of integrating and uniting all expertise in Korean studies among Indonesians was conceived. Initiated by a small number of alumni, the association has finally come into existence as a forum where all alumni, both Indonesian and Korean alike, together with any scholars or enthusiasts having interests in Korea are welcome to be the member of INAKOS. This association is mainly established to keep developing Korean-Indonesian studies, nurture partnership, and increase cooperation among its members. As for its specific purpose, this association is intended to enhance the development of education among younger generations. Through several meetings and discussions among its initial members, INAKOS has finally managed to secure itself as one of the leading Korean Studies organization. To achieve such a goal, INAKOS has decided to strive to be a leading international organization in Indonesia in research, mutual partnership among institutions regarding the advantage of youth and national aspiration. To accomplish such a goal, there are at least (6) six ways that INAKOS must fulfill in its course: (1) It needs to enrich INAKOS members‗ knowledge on Korean studies in order to broaden Indonesians‗ perspective toward other nation‗s culture. (2) It also has to develop interdisciplinary researches on Korean studies in order to enhance the development of education and culture. (3) It must build a network of researches on Korean studies. (4) It is urgent that INAKOS should develop partnership among Korean studies institutions in Indonesia and abroad for the advantage of teaching systems, researches, and civil services. (5) It must conduct and publish researches on Korean studies. (6) To cover and prepare all of the above activities, it is imperative that INAKOS also conducts seminars, workshops, meetings, conferences on 5
Indonesia-Korea relation affairs.
2. Organizational Structure During its first Forum at UGM, INAKOS unanimously elected Prof. Dr. Mochtar Mas‗oed as its first president.

h) Menggapai Asa ke Korea (우리에게 돼 한국인가? This is the 8th series of books on Korea, published in April 2015, written by Indonesian students who currently study and live in Korea. What makes this book 30
special is the fact that Indonesian migrant workers are also some contributors to the book. They are also enrolled at Universitas Terbuka (UT) Korea or Indonesian Open University in Korea. They tell their stories through specific topics such as the lives they lead as both migrant workers and students at the same time. This kind of project is the first of its kind. It is hoped that it gives a tremendous impact on the lives of both the students and the readers as this will help them share their sweet and bitter experiences that they may have experienced in Korea. By giving them an opportunity to write down their own stories, it is highly hoped that Korean society will also be reflected within their stories. Thus, this is what Korean Studies is all about. The whole idea of understanding Korean Studies from the perspective of foreigners, in this case migrant workers who live in Korea is not something new. Thus, the 8th book gives a new meaning to the role of INAKOS in nurturing
and
fostering
the
bilateral
understanding between Indonesia and Korea. This book also has another version, in term of cover and some slight changes in the content, since this book is published twice (in Seoul and in Jogjakarta, Indonesia) thanks to INAKOS‘s
cooperation
with
PERPIKA
(Persatuan Pelajar Indonesia di Korea – Indonesian Students Association in Korea). The yellow cover (as listed previously) is the one published in Indonesia, while the blue one (with the pictures of the maps of both countries) is the one published in Seoul and distributed among students and Koreaenthusiasts in Korea.
31
Based on the varied themes written on the books, Indonesian students, scholars in collaboration with scholars from Korea and other countries have to a certain degree come to term with the need to explore and understand the current phenomenon of Korea as a significant country to learn in depth. The synergy and cooperation as shown through the books do reflect the current solid ground for Korean Studies to even further flourish and consolidated in Indonesia.
III. INAKOS: Present Roles and Future Prospects INAKOS attempts to be a center for information on Korean studies in Indonesia. In this respect, it will be a challenging task for INAKOS to find ways in assisting all enthusiasts in Korean studies. One of the ways to do is making INAKOS to serve as a mediator in referring eligible students and scholars based on scholarship merits to study in participating universities. The present vibrant atmosphere and euphoria of Hallyu in Indonesia is a great starting point to keep maintaining the enthusiasm of Korean studies in the country. At this point, a cultural diplomacy that INAKOS offers will indeed play a significant role to update the Korean studies status. Thus, INAKOS has to keep its momentum to cooperate with Korean institutions. This is urgent and vital since INAKOS needs to have as many partners as possible to keep its current existence and activities running. Apart from institutions in Korea, one of the domestic institutions that has now become one of INAKOS counterpart is Korean Cultural Center in Jakarta. INAKOS could offer its expertise in recommending and providing books on Korea written in Indonesian language, English, or Korean—which is surely of great importance to the Center‘s function. More and more institutions are welcome. In regards to the present relation between Korea and Indonesia, both countries have been enjoying good relationship up to this stage. More and more Indonesians learn Korean language and work in Korea, whilst more Koreans come to Indonesia either to study or for social visits. Both countries have further developed the ties in 32
many sectors, from culture to energy, from trade to finance to environment and technology, and so on. More open opportunities in the future are visible should both countries build communication and share knowledge and expertise. Here, the importance of having a medium of sharing is evident to bridge the two sides—and INAKOS sets in to be one of the medium to achieve the goals. By making sure that INAKOS maintains its course to fulfill the needs of Indonesian scholars in understanding Korea through numerous activities, INAKOS will play vital role in strengthening the partnership with institutions and scholars in Korea as well as in Indonesia—this will include everyone who shares the passion to study about Korea.
INAKOS was established by Indonesian scholars who are passionate about Korea. Thus, the future of INAKOS lies in the hands of Indonesian scholars and its members. For that, it is important to keep in mind that INAKOS attempts to serve as the center for all Indonesian scholars in implementing Korean studies that they learned. The works, books, writings, articles, and other academic achievement any INAKOS members leave behind will be rewarding and valuable heritages for future generations in Indonesia. In short, the existence of INAKOS indeed plays an indispensable role in nurturing and sustaining the current relation between Indonesia and Korea in term of strategic partnership both in academic and cultural point of view.
IV. Recent Up-Dated Information on INAKOS (from the latest) a) The plan to publish the 9th and 10th books on Korea by the end of this year. The proposed theme would cover the researches carried out by Indonesian students in Korea (from various backgrounds in numerous universities across Korea), especially about the technology-related research that would have been impossible to achieve in Indonesia. Since the book is geared toward popular reading, the content and the writing style is tone down to cater the need of common readers. Another proposed theme is about Korea-related tourism through the eyes of Indonesian migrant workers and students in Korea. 33
b) The Senior Public Diplomacy Group, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Republic of Korea has contributed to the re-publishing of 4 (four) books on Korea to be distributed to 400 students of Indonesia Open University (Universitas Terbuka Korea) or 인도네시아개방대학교 in Korea. The students are mostly Indonesian migrant workers who work from Monday to Saturday on weekdays and who passionately pursue their Bachelor Degree at this Open University specially designed for them. Thus, with the purpose of nurturing and sharing the knowledge as well as to promote Korea-related studies to those students, The Senior Public Diplomacy Group had donated as many as 1,600 books (4 books for each student) on August 24, 2014 in Daejon during the Orientation Day for the new students of Indonesia Open University-Korea. The titles of the distributed books are: (1) Hallyu, (2) 40 Years of IndonesiaKorea Relation, (3) Hangeul and Korean Language, and (4) Korean Culture: Perspectives of Indonesian Younger Generation. c) It is worth-noting that PT KIDECO Jaya Agung has started using the introductory books on Korea published by INAKOS. In addition, in May 2011, INAKOS initiated a kind of pilot project with PT Krakatau POSCO by applying the use of books published by INAKOS as well. A series of books about Korea are disseminated to some of the employees at PT Krakatau POSCO in order to assist initial understanding and comprehension about Korea. Despite the fact that INAKOS has only sent a few books in its initial steps, should this kind of cooperation works, the books will be of great help for inhouse training at PT Krakatau POSCO. At the moment, the number of employees are yet limited, but once the joint venture between two giant steel manufacturers from Korea and Indonesia is completed and starts its production, the need to enhance the mutual understanding between employees from both countries about their respective cultures is essentially necessary. It is in this respect, that the books about Korea published by INAKOS will hopefully be a 34
great additional support for the process.
