Abstract
We examined the relationship between personality, music preference, and fandom. There were 247 participants (188 women, Mage= 18-20), with results finding that fans tended to use music for emotional regulation and found purpose in their fandoms. It was also found that k-pop fans listened to a wider range of music.
