Monday Mini: Fandom and Obsession
Fandom can be a powerful source of community, but it can also spiral into unhealthy obsession. The podcast explores the fine line between passion and obsession, particularly in the K-pop world, where emotions can run high. It discusses the psychological toll of idolization on fans, especially teens, leading to anxiety and self-esteem issues. The conversation also highlights gendered perceptions in fandom, often scrutinizing female fans more harshly. Listeners are encouraged to reflect on their own experiences within the complexities of fandom culture.
