Why this verdict

Indonesian citizens are encoded from South Korea's official K-ETA / Korea Visa Portal source set (not listed in the official K-ETA eligibility guide for visa-free entry). This destination-wave matrix record is intentionally conservative: ordinary passport, short-term visitor travel only. Work, study, residence, employment, long-term stay, special travel documents, refugee documents, airline handling and immigration discretion can change the practical answer. Reconfirm on the official Korean source before booking.

Conditional rules

Work, study, residence, employment or long-term stay Visa required

Short-term visitor or K-ETA travel does not cover work, study, residence, employment or long-term stay.
Transfer passenger who does not enter South Korea Conditional

The K-ETA FAQ says transfer passengers are exempt from K-ETA. If the traveller clears immigration, the normal entry rule applies.
Jeju, transit, group-tour or other route-specific waiver Conditional

South Korea has narrow itinerary-specific exceptions, but they do not make the ordinary mainland tourist flow visa-free. Use an official Korean source for the exact route before booking.
