The entertainment industry that this article focuses on is the Korean entertainment industry. The results of the study showed that although most fans did not deepen the degree of sexualization and objectification of love beans due to the influence of media development. However, there are still some groups who are influenced by this and sexualize and objectify idols. So there are other factors contributing to the increasing trend of idolization and objectification in the entertainment industry.
