        abstract = {Fans have an important role in the existence of an idol, from their efforts to
support their idol it can be seen that there are shared meanings, emotions, and motives
in the Blackpink fan group triggering the formation of fans' desire to be recognized as
fanatical fans. Thus, those who joined and became part of the Blink fandom (Blackpink
Fan group) gave rise to symbolic convergence in loving Blackpink. This study looks at
how the symbolic convergence of fanaticism in Blackpink fan groups in Blink Jogja.
The research method used is a qualitative method with a phenomenological approach.
The basic theory used is the theory of symbolic convergence and fandom. The results
of the study show that Blackpink fans who are members of the Blink Jogja fandom
generate symbolic convergence which is shown by fanatical behaviors in the form of
fans' desire to feel recognized as fanatical fans. This feeling of being recognized as a
fanatical fan is interpreted together as a symbolic awareness which is then converged
through the typical behaviors of fanatical fans according to Henry Jenkins.}
