The development of the Internet and digital media has given birth to new forms of idol worship, with more interactive and authentic interactions between idols and fans. This paper analyses the generation mechanism of the para-intimate relationship and summarises three aspects: construction, control and identification. Audiences complete the construction of the impression, are defined as “fans” in the emotional regime and form relationships by constructing different roles. The two-way control between fans and idols is seen in the maintenance of para-intimate relationships in the horizontal time dimension; furthermore, individual and collective identifications promote the strengthening of the relationship in the vertical depth. These discussions introduce theories about intimate relationships into fandom studies, develop research on the latest fan-idol relationships and provide insights into the psychology and media use of contemporary youth.
