JAKARTA — The Indonesian capital recently came alive with the sounds of Korea’s golden decades as a star-studded lineup of 1970s and 1980s music legends delivered a memorable performance for the local Korean diaspora and international fans.

Staged on the evening of the 7th at Jakarta's Plaza Senayan venue, the "7080 Memory Night" concert drew a crowd of approximately 1,000 attendees. The event featured a vibrant showcase by iconic artists, including veteran singer Hyun Sook, the married celebrity duo Hong Seo-bum and Cho Gap-kyung, Namgung Ok-boon, and Kwon Sung-hee, alongside legendary rock bands Gunahdeul and Oxen 80.

The performance blended timeless hits with messages of solidarity and encouragement. Hyun Sook captivated the audience with energetic renditions of her signature tracks, while Hong Seo-bum, who co-hosted the evening, praised the resilience and economic contributions of the Indonesian-Korean community.

"We wanted to share the enduring sentiment and nostalgia of the 7080 era with our compatriots here, offering a brief journey back to those cherished years," said singer Namgung Ok-boon.

The cultural event was spearheaded by Song Chang-geun, Chairman of KMK Global Sports Group and former head of the Korean Chamber of Commerce in Indonesia. Chairman Song, a prominent figure in the global footwear manufacturing sector who built his enterprise from humble beginnings in 1988, organized the concert to honor the pioneering efforts of the 7080 generation in establishing the local community.

Demonstrating a commitment to corporate and community responsibility, a portion of the concert's proceeds will be allocated to scholarship funds supporting Korean multicultural households and local vocational students pursuing Korean language education.
