Abstract

In this era of sophisticated technology, there is a phenomenon of K-pop fans surfing on social media 1- 6 hours per day to find out and/or see K-pop idol activities. Previous studies of a K-pop fan have a good quality of life. However, a theory called Fear of Missing Out (FoMO) negatively correlates with quality of life. FoMO is a person’s feeling of worry when they don’t see what other people are going through. The purpose of this study was to determine the correlation between FoMO and quality of life in K-pop fans. This study involved 143 adult participants aged 18-27 years who are K-pop fans and use social media. This research is a quantitative study using purposive technique and snowball sampling to retrieve data. The measuring instruments this study use are WHOQOL-BREF which was adapted in Indonesian by Purba (2016) and the Fear of Missing Out Scale (FoMOS) by Przybylski et al. (2013) which has been adapted into Indonesian and in K-pop context. The results of this study indicate that FoMO does not have a correlation with the quality of life of K-pop fans.
