你傳送了(Fantopia)

In my thesis project, I reimagine the K-pop fan club as a space for reflection rather than idol worship. I explore the way parasocial relationships—the emotional connections fans feel to distant figures—can lead to cycles of dependence and control. I designed a spatial experience that invites fans to confront those dynamics, structured around interactive zones that guide users through phases of desire, self-awareness, and agency. Each space is inspired by the emotional aesthetics of K-pop, especially its portrayal of soft masculinity—vulnerability, gentleness, and simulated intimacy.

In the architecture, I used materials like glass, mirrors, and movable partitions to create a sense of emotional transparency and shifting perspective. Visitors move through immersive environments: a fan-fiction archive, a “voting ritual” simulation, and intimacy booths that reveal the artificial nature of the idol–fan relationship. These are not just installations—they are spaces designed to interrupt fantasies and bring the visitor to a realization.

At its core, my project asks: What happens when we shift the gaze from idol to self? Can fandom be a path to emotional agency instead of obsession? I hope this space offers visitors a way to understand attachments—not by denying them, but by acknowledging their complexity.
