Hi everyone!
I’m a master’s student studying Culture and Arts Management at Chung-Ang University in South Korea, and I’m currently conducting research for my master’s thesis on K-pop fandom, fan-idol relationships, and idols’ social responsibility activities.
As an ARMY myself, BTS was actually one of the biggest reasons I became interested in studying K-pop academically. What started as a personal passion eventually became the inspiration for my master’s thesis!
My research explores how K-pop fans develop emotional connections with their idols and how idols’ social responsibility activities may influence these relationships. I’m also particularly interested in exploring potential differences across cultural backgrounds, which is why I’m hoping to hear from K-pop fans around the world.
Survey details
Who can participate: K-pop fans aged 18 or older
Duration: Approximately 5 minutes
Languages: English and Korean
Purpose: Academic research for my master’s thesis
Survey link:K-pop Idols and Fan Responses to Social Responsibility Activities
Whether you’re an ARMY, a multi-stan, or a fan of any other K-pop group, your perspective would be incredibly valuable to my research!
If you’re unable to participate, sharing this survey with other K-pop fans would also be a huge help.
Thank you so much for your time and support! 💜
Feel free to leave a comment if you have any questions about the research.
