Korean fan culture is relatively old, and the more distinctive thing is the celebrity support culture.
What left the biggest impression on everyone is the "Red Devils" support during the World Cup in Germany. This kind of model in which people spontaneously wear the same color clothes, gather in one place, shouting the same slogans to support is a culture in Korea.
When the Korean group debuts, the company will give each group an official name, the official station adds membership, official member service, nickname, official fan name, and official support color (balloons, some are crowns). Each group has a color, and it will never overlap.

Support is not only for IDOL, but also for the media and staff, so that everyone can enjoy the benefits of fans and let the media know the popularity of IDOL. Fans of PC idols' backstage support (food, water, various medicines) will grab this support right. I feel extremely honored to grab it. I don’t know how much money I saved the organizer. I really will save the company money.
Earlier, Korean cable channel tvN "eNEWS" deeply analyzed the diverse tribute culture for fans who are taking care of their idol's food, clothing, accommodation and accommodation.
The most well-known fan tribute is food, from food trucks to hearty buffets, and recently, the "handmade lunch box" specially customized for idol health and tastes. According to the owner of S brand ‘handmade lunch box’, “People book a large number of lunch boxes every day, with the price based on 4 people serving, ranging from 40,000 yuan (about 227 yuan) to 2 million yuan (about 11,000 yuan)”, such a high-priced lunch box is jaw-dropping.
However, "tribute lunch box" can only be considered a trivial matter. Fans will also provide fashion to celebrities who like famous brands, and even give cars and housing.
PC fans spend money to their idols to support themselves in newspapers, on TV, on subways, and on LED electronic screens.
Tianchao's popular SuperJunior has received gold record created by Chinese fans pure gold.
One year I didn’t win the grand prize at the PC Golden Record Awards. Fans of the Celestial Dynasty gave a gold medal plate of 600,000 yuan, made of gold.
It is said that SJ lost the Golden Record Award at the end of the year. SJ is very regretful, and ELF is sad and collapsed in all kinds of sadness.
raised 600,000 RMB in just a few months! Hard work pays off. SJs are proud to bring the golden record full of Chinese fans' love for them to "Strengthen the Heart"! Captain Lite thanks Tianchao fans in the show. SJ is really moved. China's ELF is very powerful!
The above are just the tip of the iceberg of support, and more and more rich supporters will probably appear one after another.
After all, support is a money-burning war and a propaganda war.
Although it is a glorious for a while, no one can guarantee that there will be fireworks this year next year. Fireworks are prone to cold, so idols should not indulge in the illusion of popularity created by support. If you don’t have the strength, one day the idol’s halo will disappear and the character will collapse, so how can you retain fans?
