Abstract

This article delves into the complex dynamics of the online variety show Become a Farmer, which departs from conventional norms by blending themes of agricultural reality and celebrity culture. Employing an extensive multimodal discourse analysis, it explores the intricate interplay between the show's diverse topics, the idolization industry, and the reshaping of guest identities. The show's achievement lies in its capacity to challenge stereotypes, providing audiences with a profound comprehension of traditional farming culture while evoking emotional connections through the reinterpretation of rural time and space. Additionally, this paper investigates the evolving fan-program relationship, where fans shift from passive consumers to active prosumers, actively participating in the show's storytelling and extending their influence beyond its airing. This analysis reveals the transformative potential of variety shows, as the idol industry, through the redefined idol-fan relationship in the digital age, subtly infiltrates niche genres of variety shows.
