Description
A study and fanzine of fandom culture, as it pertains to Korean pop (also known as K-pop music), focusing primarily on fan interactions between idols (celebrities) and fans via online messaging platforms (such as Universe and Bubble) and how it shapes parasocial relationships, which lead to positives of connection and communication intimacy and negatives of safety and monetary concerns.
