<![CDATA[This study aims to describe and analyze the lifestyle of female students who are K-Pop fans at MAN 2 Payakumbuh City based on four indicators: entertainment, consumption of goods, social relationships, and clothing styles. This study was motivated by the growing phenomenon of the Korean Wave (Hallyu), which influences the lifestyles of adolescents, including female students in the school environment. This study employed a descriptive qualitative research design. The research informants were selected using purposive sampling, involving 11 female K-Pop fans as primary informants, as well as guidance and counseling (BK) teachers and classmates as supporting informants. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation. Data validity was examined through source triangulation, while data analysis was conducted using Alfred Adler's lifestyle theory and Cultivation Theory. The findings show that K-Pop culture has become part of the lifestyle of female students at MAN 2 Payakumbuh City. This lifestyle is reflected in their habit of accessing K-Pop content for 1 to 4 hours per day, purchasing small-sized merchandise using their own savings, developing social relationships with fellow fans through activities at school and on social media, and adopting Korean-style clothing and makeup while still adapting them to hijab use and school regulations. Based on Alfred Adler's lifestyle theory, these behaviors have meaning both for the individuals themselves and for others. Meanwhile, based on Cultivation Theory, the intensity of digital media use influences the students' perspectives and habits regarding K-Pop culture, although they continue to adapt these values to the norms of the school and their social environment.]]>
