2011 is an exciting year for most people because most country start showing positive GDP (Gross Domestic Product) after some bad years because of the GFC (Global Financial Crisis). I returned back to Indonesia after 1.5 years studying in Australia with high expectation. Then, yes, my home country has successfully surprised me.
Indonesian music industry is still as strong as before. Less foreign music played in local TV channels and even MTV is no longer airing in any local TV Stations. However, I still see some local musicians is influenced by foreign musicians, such as Korean musicians.
There are some local bands that are considered using Korean Music Concept, some of them are SM*SH and 5 Bidadari.
Video 1 SM*SH - I Heart You
Video 2 5 Bidadari - Aku atau Dia
As a comparison, these are some popular Korean Music Video.
Video 3 2AM - Can't Let You Go Even If I Die
Video 4 Wonder Girls - Nobody
(Note: I used to put SNSD - Oh! for video comparison, but I think this one is more appropriate)
I actually think that this is actually not a bad thing since it may diversify or even protect local music industry, since then there are Indonesian music with similar concept with Korean music. However, when I saw those two Indonesian Music Video, I kept asking myself, why couldn't we made a music video as good as the Korean?
