Review

You are doing good job. The following issues need to be fixed:

• you need a WP:LEAD summary
• you don't need to define what fandom is. The Definition paragraph's first part is not needed. Useful content begins in the form of history "In Korea, it has appeared since the early 1980s" but this needs a reference. Please rewrite this into a "History of fandom in Korea" section. When and how did it begin?
• "Idol Fandom" "Definition" is not definition but history. Please change the heading accordingly.
• The sentence: "In addition, there are some people who develop common sense doing various things. For example, JYJ's fans like musicals because of musical appearance of Kim Junsu" needs to be rewritten. I don't understand what it is saying.
• Stalking section is too long. We don't need to discuss in detail specific instances of stalking, a short summary will suffice. Instead of saying that stalking happens in Korea, please discuss whether stalking became more common with the rise of the fandom culture. Are there any studies, statistics, etc.?
• You say that Paparazzi became more common recently. That's interesting, but where is the connection to fandom?
• The Goods fandom doesn't need to explain what 'official goods' are in detail. It is common sense. The interesting part is the 'unofficial-goods'. Those goods made by fans are a very interesting fandom phenomena. Please discuss it more, and try to add some pictures. This should likely be merged with the 'Phenomenons' section. Those are good sources, try to expand more based on them.
• 'Animation fandom' is a good start. What more can be said about anime fandom in Korea? This could be quite interesting to discuss, particularly considering how Japanese goods and TV shows were illegal in Korea until recently.
• Kidult - again, no need to define what Kidult is. Tell us about Kidult in Korea. This section doesn't say anything helpful for readers interested in Korea until "The korean lego internet cafe" sentence.
• "Regional fandom" section doesn't seem to discuss fandom at all. What is it about?

Things to to:

• your lead is bad, it should summarize this article. Instead it seems to be a summary of the generic term fandom.
• 'History of Fandom in Korea' section still has no references?
• Paparazzi sections till seems to be generic, not about Korea. Ditto for Stalker Fans. You may want to incorporate some content from Anti-fans in Korea.--_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 11:59, 26 June 2017 (UTC)
