Abstract

Research on Generation Z, the latest generation who are active in the use of the Internet and smartphones, has been widely carried out. Several previous studies have shown that Gen Z as social media users who are dominated by teenagers, also experience negative impacts – in addition to the positive impacts that are for learning activities at school – because the use of smartphones dominates their daily activities. The virtual world seems more real than their real social life, with the presence of various virtual friendship applications plus the possibility of the presence of a metaverse, Gen Z's social life is believed to have moved to the virtual world. This research was conducted using a qualitative method called ethnography, in the form of document studies and interviews. This study involved 10 informants from junior and senior high school students and 2 universities in Bandung and Jakarta, West Java, Indonesia. All the transcripts were then validated by the result of interviews with teachers and parents. The results of the study show that the surrounding virtual environment can lead students to smartphone addiction. Baudrillard's concepts of simulacra and hyperreality are increasingly relevant to present and future life when virtual reality technology, i.e., metaverse, becomes part of real life. Without intense communication and attention from parents, a student can be trapped in his own virtual world and unconsciously slowly detach himself from the world of reality around him. This is proof that Gen Z’s social life today is very different from previous generations. The social life in the virtual world for Gen Z is as important as their life in the real world.

Abstract

The K-pop industry has grown even larger since merchandising came into the picture and has become an indispensable part of the industry. Across the board, fans came to a consensus about showing love and support for their idols through streaming music and purchasing merchandise. Thus, K-pop industries successfully monetize their fans through various merchandise worldwide. Despite the fact that merchandising might just be another marketing tool to alleviate the business, it has different significance for fans. By tracing fans’ roots of affection, this study tried to explore factors that predominantly drive the fans to buy and use idol goods (merchandise). Using a quantitative method with a snowballing approach as its sample, questionnaires were disseminated through various local Indonesian fandoms. The results showed that despite having limited monthly personal spending, fans still managed to collect a handful number of merchandise regardless of the cost. The study also revealed that fans were driven to use and/or buy merchandise as (1) a tool to socialize as well as self-representation within society; (2) a close representation of their idol; and (3) a way to show their affection toward their idols, which in return creating a sense of closeness toward their idol.

Abstract

This study was meant to explore the students' perception of the credibility of Malaysian online news portals using the method of in-depth interviews and focus group discussions (FGD). The results of the study reveal that the proliferation of technologies such as social media and internet accessibility has greatly facilitated university students' access to online news portals. Individuals are seeking up-to-date information more than ever, due to the convenience of technology. Mainstream, alternative, and independent news portals each have distinct impacts on students. Key factors contributing to these credibility issues include information-seeking behaviour, convenience, confirmation bias, and social interaction. Perceptions of credibility vary depending on the type of news portal in the eyes of university students which could be driven by ideology, prejudice, and bias. However, convenience and credibility theme explain why online news portals are often criticized for their lack of credibility in the eyes of university students. Many students perceive clickbait headlines as a major issue with Malaysian online news portals, often finding discrepancies between headlines and the actual content of articles. Incomplete information and journalists' reluctance to address sensitive issues are also significant concerns for students when selecting online news portals. Bias and credibility issues on online news portals often manifest in political and racial controversies. Students also mentioned the 3R issues during the interviews. Despite these concerns, online news portals remain the primary source of information for university students. Overall, the credibility issues have eroded students' confidence in the reliability of online news.
