Do Indonesia passport holders need a visa to visit South Korea?

Visa required. Single-entry C-3-9 tourist visa, IDR 760,000. 5-year multi-entry available. Indonesian ordinary passport holders need a visa to enter South Korea — Indonesia is not on Korea's visa exemption or K-ETA waiver list. The standard tourist visa is the single-entry C-3-9, valid for 3 months from issuance with up to 90 days stay. The fee is approximately IDR 760,000 plus a KVAC service fee. Multi-entry visas valid 5 years are available for applicants with prior travel history to OECD countries (IDR 1,520,000). Jeju Island offers separate visa-free entry for tourism. Korea launched K-ETA, but Indonesia is not on the waiver list — those with regular visas don't need K-ETA, while travellers attempting visa-free Jeju entry can still use the e-Arrival Card.
