What does love beans mean?

Love beans, an online buzzword, is a transliteration of English idol, which means idol. Originally from the names of young idols in Japan and South Korea, it was directly taken from the pronunciation of "love beans" similar to idol.

Aidou can be a singer, actor, band and other artists, and is favored and sought after by the public. Love beans mostly refer to stars in non-Greater China (pronounced idol), which is a close name for idols by fans.

"Love Bean Culture" is a popular culture that has developed rapidly and swept the world in recent years. If the field of observation is limited to Chinese mainland, it can be defined as youth subculture for the time being. For the time being, it is because this boundary is constantly being broken-fans of "fans love beans" are basically teenagers, but there are also more and more adults who are "into the pit" (for example, there are many women who are mothers in "Mom Powder"). More importantly, many fans don't think that "rice loves beans" is an act that will be abandoned with age. If she/they don't "take off their meals" after entering middle-aged and old age, then with the first batch of fans coming of age, the love bean culture may become an adult culture (in Japan, the birthplace of love bean culture, it is already the mainstream culture covering all ages).
