Communication Privacy Management as an Effort to Manage K-Pop Fanboy Identity Information
Abstract
K-Pop fanboys are a group of fans who still find it challenging to escape stigmatization. This condition limits them from freely and openly showing their passion for K-Pop. Fanboys tend to be more careful in showing their passion due to concerns about negative responses from others. The application of CPM theory in this study is to find out how K-Pop fanboys manage their privacy regarding their information related to their identity. This research uses a qualitative method with data collection using interview techniques with four K-Pop fanboys. The result of this study is that three out of four fanboys assess that information related to their identity is private information that needs to be maintained. The experience of being stigmatized directly influences differences in informants' assessment of private information. In the decision-making process to reveal or conceal personal information, three criteria are taken into consideration: contextual criteria (physical setting and social environment), motivational criteria (relational closeness and self-clarification), and risk-benefit ratio criteria. K-Pop fanboys establish boundary linkage with people they trust only. Because they already know each other and have trust, fanboys do not feel the need to make explicit rules about not sharing the information they have shared. In this study, only one fanboy had experienced boundary turbulence.
