A variety of programs tailored for Indonesians included export consultations, networking receptions, sessions with domestic experts, K-pop performances, displays of Korean beauty, fashion, food, merchandise, tourism, and cultural exhibits and events. In addition, a screening event introduced excellent and new content to many Indonesia-based buyers.

The purpose of this event was to introduce the energy and sophistication of Korean technology to the Indonesian people through Korean creative content and demonstrations of virtual reality games.
The four-day event attracted about 40,000 visitors, showing that Hallyu's flame is far from flickering in Indonesia. Many attendees said they were greatly interested in and felt entertained by this expo, which they hoped would be held every year.
