South Korean passport holders can enter Indonesia with a Visa on Arrival (VoA) for 30 days, costing IDR 500,000 (about $31). Pay by card or cash at the VoA counter before immigration at Bali Ngurah Rai (DPS), Jakarta Soekarno-Hatta (CGK), and other major airports. The VoA is extendable once for another 30 days at an immigration office in Indonesia for IDR 500,000. The eVoA at molina.imigrasi.go.id lets you prepay and skip the airport queue, processed within 2 days.
Passport must be valid for at least 6 months with one blank page. Have your return ticket accessible at the VoA counter. Indonesia also offers a free visa-free entry for 30 days (no extension possible) at select ports, but the VoA is worth the $31 if you might want to extend. For stays beyond 60 days, apply for a B211A social/cultural visa before travel through a sponsor or visa agent.
