South Korea has its own music genre called Korean Pop as known as K-Pop. One of the most popular K-Pop groups in Indonesia is Treasure. The purpose of this research is to discover and explore the linkages between celebrity worship and impulsive buying of Treasure album products by fans. Using a descriptive qualitative method with a netnographic approach. Therefore, this study observed the behavior, discussion, and interaction of Treasure fans on Twitter. Especially on @ygent_official and @treasuremenfess accounts.

Fans who did impulsive buying are mostly fans who pre-order spontaneously without planning.
