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 💜
