Action note: In: Summary: ABSTRACT: The study titled The Nature of Parasocial Relationship in Kpop Fandom Culture aims to determine the reasons why people engage in parasocial relationships as well as how parasocial relationships affect fans. The study also aims to ascertain the factors that contribute to the formation of the said relationships, and to determine the advantages and disadvantages in engaging in such. The use of in-depth interview with guide questions were utilized to gather the necessary data from twelve (12) willing participants who had given their consent to do so. The interviews were then transcribed and thematic analysis was utilized to interpret the data gathered. The research aimed to find out how fans perceived their relationships, factors, reasons, advantages and disadvantages in engaging in a parasocial relationship with their biases. Fans may perceive having romantic or filial attachments, or even both in some cases. In the aspect of how the relationship came about, they had answers that indicated that it was due to the onset of a life event or exposure to Kpop, whether it be for the first time or prolonged experience. When asked about factors that contribute to why they have formal bonds with their favorite celebrities, their answers may be categorized into three major themes namely, idealizations that their biases had satisfied, admiration of attributes that their biases have shown, and their biases being a source of motivation to them. Lastly, they have talked about the effects of having those perceived relationships. On the positive side, they have gained emotional satisfaction, serve as an escape mechanism from the inconveniences of life, a source of inspiring motivation, and even acquiring technical skills. Inversely, of course, there are negative effects. Their dissatisfactions include financial trouble, getting distracted and having unrealistic idealizations due to their relationships with their biases. Other editions:
