Sebagai contoh masuknya budaya luar adalah Korean Waves yang banyak digandrungi oleh remaja Indonesia.
Hal ini disebabkan oleh lemahnya nilai kebangsaan yang dimiliki oleh generasi muda di Indonesia.

This wave developed not only dramas.
K-pop, and Korean music but also over time.
The development of the Korean Wave is considered to have progressed quite rapidly in Indonesia, mainly due to the country's large number of fans.
An example is the boy band BTS, also known as Bangtan Sonyeondan, which debuted in 2013 and gained popularity in the US charts in 2017.
This popularity easily entered Indonesia.
This is evidenced by the number of BTS views from Indonesia, which reached 100 million in 28 days in 2020.
Based on the above phenomenon, it can be concluded that foreign cultures can easily enter Indonesia.
This has the potential to cause a decline in the national values held by the community.
National values are seen as a cultural system that encompasses loyalty, emotion, commitment, affection for the nation and state, and a sense of belonging to the nation and country (Apriyani.

One of the efforts to introduce and instill national values can be found through art.
This can be done because, in Indonesia, regional arts still have a chance to continue existing in an era of numerous foreign cultures entering the country.

INTRODUCTION
National values are fundamental principles to be instilled in each individual from an early age, ensuring that the national values of the Indonesian nation remain intact despite the influences of external times and cultures.
The purpose of national values encompasses those related to the importance of faith and piety, independence, responsibility, a democratic nature, health, knowledge, and competence (Sihotang.

National values themselves are not included in values that are only understood conceptually but in practice in everyday life (Afrilihadi.

Sumadi, , & Nadiroh, 2.
This value is undoubtedly essential for maintaining the sovereignty of the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia.
However, national values themselves often decline due to several factors.
Factors contributing to the decline in national values in Indonesia include the deterioration of human resources, erosion of the Indonesian identity, and the crisis of militancy afflicting the nation (Budi.
Prakoso.

In addition, the decline in national values can also be caused by the strong current of globalization from developed countries, which can erode the values of Pancasila, which are the foundation of the nation (Purnama.

Several of these issues can pose a significant threat to the Indonesian nation if they are not adequately addressed by all Indonesian citizens and the government, as this will also impact the sovereignty and integrity of the Republic of Indonesia.
Therefore, the erosion of national values is crucial to overcome so that the Indonesian nation can develop properly and maintain its identity.
One form of the decline in national values held by the Indonesian people is the entry of the Korean Wave (Mumtaza, 2.

Based on the explanation above, the novelty of this study lies in exploring how Jaran Pegon, a typical Kediri art form, can instill national values through its meaning in One type of art found in Indonesia is jaranan art, which originates from East Java.
Jaranan art is a type of art that remains in high demand among all It can be seen from the large number of spectators and performances that are performed.

One type of jaranan that still has many fans and can continue to develop is Jaran Pegon, typical of Kediri, which is now widespread in the Kediri area and its Jaranan Pegon itself has a story about the war of the horse riders of the Daha kingdom.
This Jaranan art generally incorporates sacred elements into its dance.
Jaranan art in Kediri Regency is part of the performing arts that commemorate the contest once held by Dewi Songgo Langit on the occasion of her marriage to Klana Sewandono (Cahyani.

This jaranan art performance will be performed by several players consisting of jaran kepang, celeng, kucingan, ganongan, macanan, barongan, bantengan, and These players exhibit distinct personalities in their performances.
Jaranan Pegon art is also incorporated into the dance performance, which features a storyline accompanied by gamelan music and Javanese songs, creating a more mystical atmosphere.
Jaranan Pegon is a type of jaranan or kuda lumping that is famous in East Java, particularly in the Trenggalek and Kediri areas.
Jaran Pegon emerged because it was inspired by the wayang wong or wayang orang art.
This statement can be proven through the costumes, which are used in wayang wong costumes that incorporate additional horse braid properties.
One of the unique aspects of this Jaran Pegon art is the presence of a scarf, which serves as the central motif in this art.

In addition, this study also employs interview techniques to explore the Jaran Pegon Khas Kediri art and the values it contains.
This was done to gather information about the national values inherent in the Jaran Pegon culture, which is typical of Kediri.
In this study, observation instruments were employed to facilitate the observation and examination of the study object.
In this study, non-participant observation was used, where the researcher observed the participants and interacted with them Non-participant observation in this study involved observing the Jaran Pegon culture and conducting interviews with informants who had a deep understanding of the Jaran Pegon culture.
After the required data had been collected, several data analyses could be carried out.
The data analysis techniques employed in this study included data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion (Miles & Huberman as cited in Rijali, 2.
In this study, data analysis techniques were used, which were divided into three parts.
The three parts are data reduction, data presentation, and drawing and verifying conclusions (Rijali, 2.

Both were chosen because, until now, research that discusses both in depth is still rare.
Jaran Pegon art was chosen because it is a form of art that still exists among young people in the Kediri area and its surroundings.
The existence of Jaran Pegon can be seen in the broadcast of one of the YouTube channels, namely GTT Official.
The channel uploaded a video of one of the Jaran Pegon performances, namely Bhanu Manggala Putro, and received a total of 3,738 views.
In addition, national values were also chosen as variables in this study because of the decline or fading of national values held by both young people and older people.
This is evidenced by the easy entry of Western culture into Indonesia and the violation of state norms and regulations, such as cases of murder, corruption, and theft that often occur in Indonesia.
Therefore, this study will focus on how national values are reflected in the Jaran Pegon culture, typical of Kediri.
In line with the background and what has been explained, this research aims to describe the meaning and national values contained in the Jaran Pegon culture.
METHODS

The value of unity in Jaran Pegon serves as a guiding principle, fostering a shared goal among the horse riders who accompany Prabu Klana Sewandana as they compete in the Dewi Songgo Langit competition.
Celeng Srenggi, in the Jaran Pegon performance, is depicted as a very wild and ferocious boar, which is a form of disturbance faced by horse riders.

This is proof of the love shown by the Ibu Pertiwi.
The Gendhing Ketawang Ibu Pertiwi song serves as a reminder to us humans always to appreciate where we live and how the motherland provides and fulfills all human needs sincerely.
However, humans often forget to be grateful for what we have received.
