ABSTRACT

Theories of nationalism are constantly being infused with new connotations as the times go by, new media technologies have changed the way nationalist movements are expressed, and cyber-nationalism has emerged. Instead of dismantling the nation-state, cross-cultural communication has strengthened nationalism because of friction. Fans of idol artists, as active members of cyberspace, have promoted the emergence of a new branch of cyber nationalism, "fan circle nationalism," with their practical actions. The reason why fan circle nationalism is considered a kind of nationalism like daily manipulation is that cyberspace is a space that breaks through the limits of time and space, in which the fans' dynamism is given unprecedented play. While there are positive aspects to the practice of fan circle nationalism, there are inevitably negative effects as well.
