Summary:Recently, the popularity of Korean cosmetics in Southeast Asia has rapidly grown and gained popularity due to the spread of Korean pop culture globally, usually known as Hallyu/Korean Wave. This resulted in a market boom for Korean beauty products in Indonesia which lead to higher competition in the market. Therefore, understanding the factors that influence consumer behaviour in buying Korean cosmetics and K-beauty products in Indonesia and knowing the main driving factors for Indonesian consumers to purchase these products that are currently trending in Indonesia is imperative for a company competing in this sector. The purpose of this paper is to understand the consumer market and business landscape of Korean cosmetics and K-beauty products in Indonesia as well as identify the main driving factors of Indonesian consumer behaviour in buying Korean cosmetics and K-beauty products. This study found that the two most influential factors behind Indonesian consumer behaviour in buying Korean cosmetics and K-beauty products are social-reference group and cultural-religion. These findings are important for companies to further understand Indonesia’s consumer market and Indonesian consumer buying behaviour towards Korean cosmetics and K-beauty products in order to set a more precise strategy of marketing.
