Hello all!
I'm doing on "Idolism"- Facts and Stories.
Fact: There are many types of "Idolism". The one we were thinking of? The superstar idolism? That's just one of them. There's also the religion kind of idolism- where you worship gods or stuff like that. You can say it's a kind of believe.
There. That's a simple fact. Hope that helps for the other idolism researchers!
Here's a report I've found which is partly related to idolism. Not entirely. Partly.

It's saying that Taiwanese youth watch lots of foreign dramas and foreign dramas are invading the Taiwan television. (KOREAN!!!. partly because of <<) It's also complaining that youths usually pay more attention to the script, character and idolism rather than the programmes' aesthetic properties and ideology. Korean dramas utilise their hot, handsome, pretty and cute people to make Taiwanese youth idolise them, (in the report) "generating a number of young avid Taiwanese fans all over the country. Their "idolisation" encourage them to buy goods that are related to their idols, like clothes, shoes, etc. About 50% of teenagers tend to imitate how the characters behave and act in the series. "Anything related to these foreign programmes become popular commodities among local consumers."
You can go read through it if you want more detailed information.
This is what i found so far. Hope it helps :D
