One of the phenomena of idolizing celebrities in adolescents who are widely discussed in Indonesia is Korean Pop or K-Pop. Based on previous research, high level of celebrity worship is directly proportional to the decrease in quality of life. But the current phenomenon shows that adolescents who become K-Pop fans have a lot of positive effects instead.
