on the streets. The ratification of the Omnibus Law has an effect on public opinion-raising activities, both those
who support and who reject the ratification of the Omnibus Law, are crowded on Twitter social media. The active
account of K-Poppers who took part became a line against the opinion of the Omnibus Law, so a question arises
whether this is a phenomenon of the rise of political awareness of K-Poppers in Indonesia? This study analyzes
the role of K-Poppers in socio-political movements in several countries globally, especially in Indonesia. The

Law as the subject in writing this paper. Collecting data using Social Network Analysis (SNA) and observing
the activities of K-Poppers in Indonesia when parliament passed the controversial Omnibus Law. The results
of this study indicate that Indonesian K-Poppers maximize their function as part of Indonesian citizens to
express their political stance. They also showed their political involvement when creating hashtags, organizing
other K-Pop crowds, and at the same time providing support to activists who rejected the Omnibus Law.
