Abstract

The development of technology, communication and information facilitates cultural exchange in individuals and groups. One form of the phenomenon of cultural exchange is K-Pop. K-Pop has given rise to presence of idol, fans and fandom. Uses and gratification theory shows that individuals actively use the media to fulfill their goals as fans with a form of participatory fandom. In economy context, idols are used as a media consumer attraction. Idol cooperation with a media, attracted fans to participate with the media. With the presence of digital media, fans do online participatory fandom activities, such as digital comics. The features of digital comics are used by fans as a medium for participatory fandom. By making fans of BTS (ARMY BTS Indonesia) in LINE Webtoon, this research was conducted to look at patterns of fan participation with different categories in utilizing digital comic applications as fandom media. Research used constructivism paradigm through a qualitative digital ethnographic approach. Semi-structured interviews were carried out on five informants who were ARMY BTS Indonesia as readers of "Save Me" webtoon and digital observations in LINE Webtoon. The results show that there are two characteristics of fans, namely temporary fan and devoted fan. Other results show that devoted fans take advantage of the features in LINE Webtoon more optimally as a form of dedication to their idols, while temporary fans have other phenomena besides idols to do participatory fandom activities.

印尼陆军BTS在WEBTON应用程序的数字漫画中的参与粉丝

技术、通信和信息的发展促进了个人和群体的文化交流。文化交流现象的一种形式是K-Pop。K-Pop带来了偶像、歌迷和歌迷的存在。使用和满足理论表明，个人积极利用媒体以参与式粉丝的形式实现他们作为粉丝的目标。在经济背景下，偶像被用作媒体的消费吸引力。偶像与某媒体合作，吸引了粉丝与媒体共同参与。随着数字媒体的出现，粉丝们在网上参与粉丝活动，比如数字漫画。数字漫画的特点被粉丝们用作参与粉丝的媒介。通过在LINE Webtoon上制作BTS（ARMY BTS Indonesia）的粉丝，本研究旨在观察不同类别的粉丝在利用数字漫画应用程序作为粉丝媒体时的参与模式。研究通过定性的数字民族志方法使用了建构主义范式。对五名线人进行了半结构化采访，他们是印尼陆军BTS，是“拯救我”网络卡通和LINE网络卡通数字观察的读者。结果表明，球迷有两个特点，即临时球迷和忠实球迷。其他研究结果表明，忠实粉丝更有效地利用LINE Webtoon的功能，将其作为对偶像的一种奉献形式，而临时粉丝则有除偶像之外的其他现象来进行参与性粉丝活动。引用这篇文章（第7届APA风格）：Irwansyah&Lestari，A.F.（2020）。军队BTS印度尼西亚的参与粉丝在Webtoon应用程序上的数字漫画。通讯频谱杂志，10（1），46-57。http://dx.doi.org/10.36782/jcs.v9i1.1872
