Abstract
This paper reviews the reasons for young people's idol worship, mainly due to the prevalence of generalized belief in idols, people's desire to improve their self-identity and ability through star chasing, the rich and convenient channels for star chasing provided by modern market and Internet technology, and analyzes the adverse effects of lack of love in the original family on individuals and the root causes of excessive star chasing among some teenagers. Lack of love will make individuals lose the ability to obtain love, and they will receive less care than children who do not lack love in their growth, so as to analyze the root cause of the need for everyone to be loved, so some children who lack love will transfer their emotions to unfamiliar images to get some love. Excessive star-chasing will have a serious negative impact on both individuals and society, so measures should be taken against it. Subsequently, through the concept of "remote intimacy" and "i.e. intimacy", it was concluded that excessive star-chasing cannot fully make up for the lack of love in the original family, although star-chasing can bring some love to admirers to a certain extent, but people also need care from the people around them in real life.
