when does kpop fandom become an unhealthy obsession or not? need advice
Okay so I need to admit something and maybe ask for help. I think I've crossed the line from 'casual fan' to something much deeper. It's starting to impact and worry my family and friends. At first they all thought it was cute that I had all those photos, albums, and merch but now they've been trying to confront me about my obsession. I know that these are just parasocial relationships and that it's mostly an act for them but its become all encompassing for me. I'm genuinely in love with my favorite idol. I dream about living my life with them. Our days together at home, what we'd do in our day to day, if we'd have kids. Changing my surname to Park and moving to Korea.
I've been following them since they debuted, its not just fandom to me and I know thats unhealthy. I also admit to looking at their videos and pictures inappropriately (I dont do it anymore and im ashamed i ever did that). What should I do? Please help me, I'm in love with Park Jin-young aka the Asiansoul.
