        "summary": "During his state visit to South Korea, President Prabowo Subianto shared a light-hearted moment by posing with a finger heart gesture alongside South Korean President Lee Jae-myung and Indonesian K-pop idol Carmen from the group Hearts2Hearts at the Blue House. This cultural exchange highlights the evolving Indonesia-South Korea relations, extending beyond traditional economic and political ties into soft diplomacy through popular culture. The visit also solidified bilateral commitments, including a special comprehensive strategic partnership, 10 memoranda of understanding across sectors, and Prabowo receiving South Korea's highest honour, The Grand Order of Mugunghwa.",
        "content": "<p>President Prabowo Subianto\u2019s state visit to South Korea featured an\nunusual moment that captured public attention: a blend of high-level\ndiplomacy with a touch of pop culture. During the official agenda at the\nBlue House, Prabowo was seen posing casually with South Korean President\nLee Jae-myung and Carmen, a member of the Indonesian-origin K-pop group\nHearts2Hearts (H2H). The trio compactly displayed the finger heart\nsymbol, a signature gesture of K-pop idols symbolising closeness to\nfans. The portrait was uploaded via President Lee\u2019s official account and\nquickly sparked interest, presenting a different side to the usually\nrigid and formal bilateral relations. Carmen, whose full name is Nyoman\nAyu Carmenita, became a key figure in this moment. She is not just a\nguest but a new representation of Indonesia on the global stage as the\nfirst Indonesian citizen to debut under SM Entertainment, one of South\nKorea\u2019s entertainment industry giants. Her presence at the state\nluncheon underscores that Indonesia-South Korea relations now extend\nbeyond economy and politics to the power of popular culture as a tool\nfor soft diplomacy. Behind this relaxed moment, the main agenda\nproceeded seriously. Prabowo and Lee agreed to strengthen ties through a\nspecial comprehensive strategic partnership, an exclusive status held\nonly by Indonesia in its relations with South Korea. Additionally, the\ntwo countries formalised 10 memoranda of understanding (MoUs) across\nsectors, reinforcing long-term cooperation directions. On the same\noccasion, Prabowo received South Korea\u2019s highest award, The Grand Order\nof Mugunghwa. The finger heart moment thus became a new symbol, where\ndiplomacy is built not only through negotiation tables but also through\ncultural touches closer to the global public.<\/p>",
