"And there I feel the industry there is very extraordinary and detailed. That's what I want to learn. As an independent musician in Indonesia, I need to learn too," he continued.

For VIDI, it is undeniable that K-pop is a very successful music industry. This achievement can be seen from their wide range of coverage to other countries.
