A decade ago, Indonesian television show mostly was influenced by many American, Chinese or Indian television shows. As time go by, the show nowadays was influenced by Korean television shows. This is happened while Indonesia creative industry is grown up after more than a decade was consume many Western, Chinese or Indian cultures.
During my free time, watching television at home, I heard many times some familiar song came from Korea. One of Indonesia national television aired it during some cooking show or some reality show. It is not surprising to know that Indonesian people nowadays are talking about Korean cultures day by day because it is also happened outside there in many Asian countries. What makes me concerned about that is that national television was being such a good supporter for spreading Korean cultures through adopting it to be an electronic cinema.
In Indonesia, electronic cinema has a big portion on air time a day. It is mostly viewed by many teenagers and moms. The electronic cinema is the right media to catch as many as viewer to get high rate for a television company. Indirectly, it is also support the image of the actress or actors. In this case, a group of boys called Seven Man as Seven Heroes or more popular as SMASH has the beneficiary from it. They begun their debut with a song named You Know Me so Well in the end of 2010. Their song became popular after many young people attracted by their style which is similar to one of Korean boy band named Super Junior. They more known well after they are casted as an actor in the electronic cinema called Cinta Cenat Cenut.

Surprisingly, this is not stopped there. That television company continues to air the other electronic cinema similar to the first one called Go Go Girl. It is casted by a group of girls who have similar sing style like Korean group girl singer named Girls Generation.

Even though the Indonesia creative industry is growing up rapidly, it seems still not have their main character like Korean did. In this point, I am still thinking of to predict what will Indonesia creative industry, especially electronic cinema, looks like after years of adopt many foreign cultures. At that time, I wish that Indonesian people will be proud of their cultures while we open up our mind to others cultures.
