JAKARTA - The weekend ahead of the 2024 presidential election debate was spent by Ganjar Pranowo for a trip to Grand Indonesia Mall, Saturday (9/12/2023). The presidential candidate number 3 looks to be shopping for a number of items without tight supervision.

Wearing jeans, jackets and hats, Ganjar walked casually in the mall while looking at a number of items. Hundreds of people who were shopping and the kiosks looked surprised when they saw Ganjar walking around alone. Like other visitors, Ganjar mingled with visitors there.

"Lho Pak Ganjar, really Mr. Ganjar? Wow, I'm really happy to meet my idol's presidential candidate. Can I take a photo, sir?", who asked for a photo with Ganjar.

"How come you weren't escorted, sir? Usually other presidential candidates are closely guarded, you know, you look very relaxed," said another visitor.

Ganjar warmly greeted the mall visitors and took photos together. But there is something interesting, when there is a beautiful oriental-faced woman running to Ganjar. Enthusiastically, he asked to take a photo together.

"Pak Ganjar, I'm from Korea. I'm a big fan of you. Can I take a photo, sir?," said the woman.

The woman's name is Haeyeon Kim (24), a student at the S3 Hankuk University of Foreign Studies. The Indonesian language is quite smooth because he majored in Indonesian and has participated in student exchanges at UGM.

"Sir, I am a fan of you. My mother also knows you in Korea. Sir, I asked for a video for my mother," he said.

Ganjar also serves Haeyeon with a friendly desire. The two talked for a long time because Haeoyeon was very enthusiastic and talked about Korean and Indonesian culture.
