JAKARTA - Kandis, a K-pop girl group that debuted in 2023, with four members named Looky, Venny, Nine, and Hello, visited Indonesia for the first time earlier this year.
The four idols from South Korea visited Jakarta to attend the Video Game Concert Volume II press conference and appear on a private television station.
The members said they were happy with their first visit to Indonesia. They meet many people who give warm welcomes.
This is the first time we have come to Indonesia, the people are friendly, kind, and the energy is extraordinary. We feel comfortable and we often want to come here," said Hello, when met at SCBD, South Jakarta recently.
They admitted that they were surprised when they found out that many Indonesians wanted to learn Korean. This method makes their communication with Indonesians warmer, even though it is the first time they have met.
"I think there are a lot of people here who want to learn Korean, so we also learn a lot. We also learn Indonesian, such as saying 'thank you' and 'good afternoon'," said Looky.

The members of Kandis also shared how they got acquainted with the culture in Indonesia, such as wearing batik and eating Indonesian specialties.
One of the members, Nine, even wanted to take home the batik he used while visiting Indonesia, to be used in South Korea.
In addition, members also try a lot of Indonesian specialties and learn how to make them.
"On Saturday night, we eat street food, we are invited to eat chicken satay, we are also taught how to cook fried rice. Then we also eat fried fish that are provided with sambel. Indonesian food is very delicious," concluded Looky.
