Now the development of fan economy is getting better and better with the passage of time
and the trend should not be underestimated. Based on China's unique influencer model and the high proportion of female fan groups
hiring stars with high value and a huge fan base to endorse has almost become the norm. At the same time
K-POP has also become popular all over the world. In view of this
this paper investigates the willingness of fan groups to purchase products endorsed by same-sex idols based on a study. This study starts with the 9-member Korean girl group TWICE
a mature group with a large and differentiated fan base. Therefore
the following hypotheses are proposed: fan groups may purchase same-sex idol endorsed products because (1) they recognise themselves as a member of the fan base and believe that it is important to be consistent with other fans. (2) They want to engage in related careers in the future and become attached to their idols. Based on the research hypotheses
the questionnaire method is adopted for the study. Purchase intention is used as the dependent variable
group identification and the degree of ideal self-perception are used as independent variables.
