Abstract

Globalization driven by information and communications technology, has accelerated the spread of Korean culture, especially among Indonesia's younger generation. This results in changes in the behavior, preferences, and cultural identification of Indonesian teenagers, who tend to be influenced by Korean culture. This study uses a qualitative approach with descriptive methods to explain the influence of the Korean Wave on the spirit of youth nationalism. The research results show that the attractive characteristics of the Korean Wave, such as diverse content, interesting visualizations, romantic stories, and Korean pop culture, have changed the behavior and cultural preferences of Indonesian teenagers. Use of the Korean language, interest in Korean culture, perceptions of Korean physical appearance, and eating patterns have been influenced by the Korean Wave, which in turn influences the spirit of nationalism. This research explores the urgency of character education as a tool to maintain the nationalistic spirit of Indonesian teenagers and strengthen cultural identity amidst globalization and the influence of the Korean Wave. It is hoped that the results of this research can help develop effective educational strategies and contribute to the nation's future
