Abstract

The closure of cinemas and cancellation of all concerts around the world is a huge blow to entertainment companies and fans. “Teens in Times” (TNT) as a nurturance idol group, who debuted in November 2019, has rapidly increased its online publicity and held online concerts. This paper studies the propaganda strategies and effects of nurturance idols in the context of an epidemic situation with TNT as the research subject. This study distributed more than 100 questionnaires and observed TNT’s accounts on Weibo, Bilibili, Kuaishou, and Tiktok platforms. It is observed that TNT carries out basic online publicity by posting materials, like photos of daily life on these platforms and participates in variety shows, films, and TV series to attract fans. Moreover, accepting advertising endorsements is also a means of promotion. According to the survey, the majority of TNT’s fans are female students from junior middle schools and colleges, and nearly half of the respondents got to know each other through short videos. The publicity strategies of the company, Time Fengjun, focus on online publicity and are very effective, but they also have many shortcomings from the perspective of fans. Most of the fans will not spend money on branded merchandise, which shows that the company needs to make adjustments in the way of publicity to promote consumption. This paper also gives corresponding suggestions and optimization strategies for the status quo.
