Abstract

Abstract:The coronavirus has changed our daily lives dramatically, driving us to spend time in the virus-free digital world, providing an imagined community in which we can be reborn. In this study, I highlight an interesting intersection of three phenomena in virtual spaces: the culturally hybrid content of the Korean Wave, or Hallyu; participatory culture of fandom; and a new kind of public defined by emotion. I show how Hallyu fandom becomes a fandom public using digital media by exploring the voluntary practices of Chilean fans in the production of the 2018 KBS Music Bank World Tour in Chile. Chilean K-pop fans form a Latin American fandom community in a digital space where they act as a fandom public based on affective intimacy, thereby influencing wider society. This finding offers insights to determine the capabilities of Hallyu fandom as a public.

流行到“Fandom”:拉丁美洲K-Pop Fandom数字空间中Fandom公众的复兴

摘要：冠状病毒极大地改变了我们的日常生活，促使我们在无病毒的数字世界中度过，提供了一个我们可以重生的想象社区。在这项研究中，我强调了虚拟空间中三种现象的有趣交集：韩流或韩流的文化混合内容；粉丝参与文化；以及一种由情感定义的新型公众。我通过探索智利歌迷在2018年KBS音乐银行世界巡回演唱会智利站制作过程中的自愿行为，展示了Hallyu歌迷是如何利用数字媒体成为大众歌迷的。智利K-pop粉丝在一个数字空间中形成了一个拉丁美洲粉丝社区，在这个空间里，他们以情感亲密为基础，充当粉丝公众，从而影响更广泛的社会。这一发现为确定Hallyu粉丝作为公众的能力提供了见解。
