Abstract. The phenomenon of celebirty worship of Korean idols has become an important part of today's popular culture, especially in adolescence and emerging adulthood. One of the South Korean boy groups that is currently popular and much loved is SEVENTEEN. Every fan has varying levels of engagement with their idols, ranging from admiration to obsession that can affect daily life. One factor that is thought to have a significant role in the onset of celebrity worship is self-esteem. This study aims to determine the effect of self-esteem on celebrity worship in Seventeen boy group fans in Bandung City. This research is a quantitative research with causality method. The measuring instruments used are the Celebrity Attitude Scale (CAS) which has been adapted by Efathania & Aisyah (2019) and the Rosenberg Self-esteem Scale (RSE) adapted by Nelan Maroqi (2018). The subjects of this study were Seventeen boy group fans aged 18-29 years and domiciled in Bandung City with the number of respondents obtained as many as 311. This research hypothesis test uses simple linear regression analysis and the results obtained show that there is a negative effect of self-esteem on celebrity worship with a significance value of 0.002 <0.05, which means that low self-esteem will result in high celebrity worship, and vice versa. The magnitude of the influence of self-esteem on celebrity worship is 2.9%. This finding indicates that self-esteem can influence celebrity worship but the contribution is relatively small.
