Abstract


Abstract. The development of Korean culture in the past few years has spread throughout the world. Korean pop or better known as K-POP is a type of music originating from South Korea. One of the most popular K-POP boy groups in Indonesia is BTS, also known as Bangtan Boys. In Indonesia, there is one BTS fan community, the BTS Army Indonesia Amino (BAIA). According to Raviv (1996) the love of idols will diminish and even disappear when individuals enter a period of early adult development, but in reality there are still many early adult individuals who do celebrity worship. When someone idolizes a celebrity, he will feel bound by everything related to his idol, one example is buying his idol merchandise (Chapman, 2003). When shopping activities become uncontrollable and excessive, it tends to show compulsive buying behavior. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of celebrity worship on compulsive buying behavior in early adult members of the BAIA community in Bandung. The theory used in this research is the theory of celebrity worship from Maltby et al (2006) and the compulsive buying theory from Edwards (1993). Measuring instruments used in this study were Celebrity Atitude Scale (CAS) compiled by Maltby et al (2006) to measure the celebrity worship variable, and Compulsive Buying Scale (CBS) compiled by Edwards (1993) to measure compulsive buying behavior. The research was conducted on 208 respondents of early adulthood members of the BAIA community in Bandung. Researchers used simple regression analysis techniques in SPSS version 26 for Windows applications. The results showed a positive effect of celebrity worship on compulsive buying behavior of 20.8%. The results of the statistical analysis state that the research hypothesis can be accepted.

Abstrak. Perkembangan budaya Korea dalam kurun waktu beberapa tahun terakhir telah menyebar ke seluruh penjuru dunia. Korean pop atau yang lebih dikenal dengan K-POP merupakan jenis musik yang berasal dari Korea Selatan. Salah satu boyband K-POP yang populer di Indonesia adalah BTS yang juga dikenal dengan Bangtan Boys. Di Indonesia, terdapat salah satu komunitas penggemar BTS yaitu BTS Army Indonesia Amino (BAIA). Menurut Raviv (1996) kegemaran terhadap idola akan berkurang bahkan menghilang ketika individu memasuki masa perkembangan dewasa awal, namun kenyataannya masih banyak individu dewasa awal yang melakukan celebrity worship. Saat seseorang mengidolakan selebriti, ia akan merasa terikat dengan segala hal yang berhubungan dengan idolanya, salah satu contohnya adalah membeli merchandise idolanya (Chapman, 2003). Ketika aktivitas belanja menjadi tidak dapat terkontrol dan berlebihan, hal tersebut cenderung menunjukkan perilaku compulsive buying. Tujuan penelitian ini untuk mengetahui pengaruh celebrity worship terhadap perilaku compulsive buying pada dewasa awal anggota komunitas BAIA Bandung. Teori yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah teori celebrity worship dari Maltby dkk (2006) dan teori compulsive buying dari Edwards (1993). Alat ukur yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah Celebrity Atitude Scale (CAS) yang disusun oleh Maltby dkk (2006) untuk mengukur variabel celebrity worship, dan Compulsive Buying Scale (CBS) yang disusun oleh Edwards (1993) untuk mengukur perilaku compulsive buying. Penelitian ini dilakukan pada 208 responden usia dewasa awal anggota komunitas BAIA Bandung. Peneliti menggunakan teknik analisis regresi sederhana pada aplikasi SPSS versi 26 for Windows. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan adanya pengaruh positif celebrity worship terhadap perilaku compulsive buying sebesar 20,8%. Hasil analisis statistik tersebut menyatakan bahwa hipotesis penelitian dapat diterima.
