I wrote about sasaengs and parasocial relationships in Kpop fandom—BTS, NCT, and Jackson Wang all feature

Hi guys, I’m Brooke. I work as a writer - spent about a decade in Western film/TV and now I’m working more in Korean television.

I just published an essay on 82Crafted about sasaeng culture, parasocial intimacy, and the whole K-pop “closeness economy” (BTS, NCT, Jackson Wang all feature).

I'd love for you to check it out and share it around.

Love you guys! Thanks 💜

I wrote about sasaengs and of course I had to mention Jackson

Hi guys,

I’m Brooke. I work as a writer - spent about a decade in Western film/TV and now I’m working more in Korean television.

I just published an essay on 82Crafted about sasaeng culture, parasocial intimacy, and the whole K-pop “closeness economy” (BTS, NCT, Jackson Wang all feature).

I touched on Jackson's experiences with fans and his amazing clapbacks on Twitter lately (I refuse to call it X!)

I'm wondering if you could share with the community. If not, that's totally fine :) I appreciate you reading.

Love you guys! Thanks 💜
