K-Pop has developed into a key instrument of South Korean cultural diplomacy with global reach, including in Indonesia. Behind its success as a soft power tool, K-Pop harbors complex dynamics of gender representation, particularly regarding the position and role of women. This study aims to analyze women's representation and agency in South Korean cultural diplomacy through K-Pop in Indonesia during the 2022–2023 period. This study uses a qualitative approach with a descriptive-interpretive design, combining a poststructuralist feminist perspective and cultural diplomacy theory. Data were collected through a documentary study of K-Pop cultural products and in-depth interviews with K-Pop fans in Indonesia. The results show that women play a central role in K-Pop's global success, both as idols and as active fans. However, women's representation in K-Pop is still dominated by standardized beauty standards and images of femininity. On the other hand, women's agency emerges through fandom practices that allow female fans to actively interpret, critique, and negotiate the meaning of gender representation. This study also found that gender issues have not been explicitly integrated into South Korean cultural diplomacy policies. These findings confirm that cultural diplomacy through K-Pop is dynamic and involves active interaction between the country, industry, and the recipient society.

The rapid growth of digital marketplaces has fundamentally transformed consumer decision-making processes by intensifying price transparency, product comparability, and information exposure. In highly competitive marketplace environments, consumers are frequently confronted with numerous product alternatives and dynamic pricing structures, which shape how they evaluate options and ultimately decide to purchase. This study examines the effects of product variety and price perception on consumers’ purchase decisions in the context of ROSCA tumbler products sold on the Shopee marketplace. Using a quantitative explanatory approach, this research employs a survey-based design to analyze the relationships among variables and to estimate their relative effects through multiple linear regression analysis. Data were collected from 100 respondents who had previously purchased ROSCA tumblers on Shopee, selected using purposive sampling based on predefined criteria. The research instrument consisted of 15 Likert-scale items measuring product variety, price perception, and purchase decision. Data analysis included descriptive statistics, instrument validity and reliability testing, regression assumption diagnostics, and hypothesis testing using both partial (t-test) and simultaneous (F-test) procedures. The findings reveal that product variety has a positive and significant effect on purchase decisions, indicating that consumers are more likely to finalize purchases when they perceive product options as sufficiently diverse, relevant, and comparable. Price perception also exerts a positive and significant influence and demonstrates a stronger relative effect compared to product variety. This result underscores the central role of perceived price fairness, competitiveness, and value-for-money in shaping purchase decisions within transparent and highly competitive marketplace settings. Simultaneously, product variety and price perception explain a substantial proportion of variance in purchase decisions, highlighting their combined importance as key marketing stimuli.
