Abstract

This study examines participants’ experiences of K-pop livecast concerts, a new phenomenon where audiences watch live-streamed online concerts together in cinemas. The study is in three stages—social media analysis, qualitative interview, and quantitative questionnaire survey—each generates knowledge on the experience in different dimensions. The first two stages lay the foundation for the final test of the service quality model, which illustrates the effect of service quality factors and artist attachment on satisfaction and repurchase intention. The results show that content quality, convenience, and physical interaction affect satisfaction, among which physical interaction has the strongest effect. Fandom is vital in determining repurchase intention regardless of satisfaction with the current livecast concert participation. This study predicts that livecast concerts will enjoy continuous popularity post-COVID-19 and provides practical insights into future strategies for operating and marketing livecast shows.
