JAKARTA — After 11 years, in 2023, the major South Korean agency SM Entertainment finally returned to Jakarta, bringing its artists and holding a concert. The concert, titled ‘SMTOWN LIVE 2023: SMCU PALACE @Jakarta,’ was held at the Gelora Bung Karno Stadium (GBK) in Senayan, Central Jakarta, on Saturday, September 23, 2023. This event was promoted by Dyandra Global Edutainment, which also collaborated with Dompet Dhuafa.
The collaboration between Dyandra Global Edutainment and Dompet Dhuafa took the form of prayer facilities (musala) to facilitate the concert attendees in performing their prayers. Not just one, Dompet Dhuafa provided 2 prayer areas at this event, located in Zones 5 and 9 of the concert area.
Dandy Fathony, the Promotion & Networking Officer of Dompet Dhuafa, expressed that this collaboration was a form of support from Dompet Dhuafa for music enthusiasts, making it easier for them to perform their religious duties.

Dompet Dhuafa established prayer areas in strategic and easily accessible locations for concert attendees. This was confirmed by Tammy, one of the attendees of SMTOWN LIVE 2023: SMCU PALACE @Jakarta. She appreciated the Dompet Dhuafa prayer area, which made it easy for her to perform her prayers.
“I’m very grateful to Dyandra Global and Dompet Dhuafa. Typically, it’s challenging to find a place to pray at concert venues, and it can be quite confusing. With these facilities, it’s much easier! Balancing the pursuit of ‘oppa’ and fulfilling my prayers has been made possible, thanks to Dompet Dhuafa!” said Tammy.
