Looks like Singapore is OK. For indonesia it appears you can be visa free provided your transit is less than 8 hours.

You should check your eligibility by entering your full details into TIMATIC (Visa And Health - Star Alliance)

Thank you for your information. I have searched all the information from TIMATIC, but i could not find vaild passport infor. Since you said singapore is ok to be travel with less 6 month valid passport, where did you get this information.
Thank you.

TIMATIC would state any passport validity requirements - so if you needed 6 months it would usually say so. But perhaps worth checking direct with the Singapore Embassy website.

So Kang5411 do you have another passport to travel on? Or is your Korean passport your only one?

If so what about your visa to enter and remain in Australia?

While Sth Korea has to let you in, Australian Border Farce might ask some awkward questions before you depart if you only have an expired passport.

Usually a visa is only required if you plan to clear through arrival procedures (ie. leave the airport), not transit.
But it is worth checking as some countries have different requirements depending on how long you stay (even in transit) and your nationality, etc. Also, if changing airline, you may need to collect and re-check bags which means leaving transit (some airports can do this in the transit zone too).
In short, it's worth checking your situation.
