<![CDATA[This research discusses the dynamics of the Indonesian Muslim Community (KMI) in South Korea, starting from its inception in 2007 to its struggle during the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020. KMI is the largest Muslim citizen organization in South Korea which functions to shelter all Muslim citizens and accommodate several mosques and prayer rooms and their organizations. The purpose of this study is to see the dynamics of the development of the Indonesian Muslim Community (KMI), which was founded in 2007 by Indonesian Muslim citizens. To sharpen the analysis, this study uses sociological approaches and social capital theory by Robert Putnam. KMI was established on February 17, 2007 on the proposal of the increasing number of Indonesian migrant workers in South Korea, to meet their spiritual needs. KMI currently houses around 56 mosques and prayer rooms and acts as a bridge connecting KMF (Korea Muslim Federation) and the Embassy of the Republic of Indonesia, with Muslim citizens in South Korea. Organizationally, KMI still plays the role today and continues to strengthen the faith and brotherhood of Indonesian Muslims who live as a minority in South Korea]]>
