A teen idol is a celebrity with a large teenage fan base . Teen idols are generally young but are not necessarily teenagers . [1] [2] [3] An idol's popularity may be limited to teens, or may extend to all age groups. Many teen idols are targeted to adults for nostalgia purposes.

East Asia possesses a robust fan culture centered around idols, one that spans both genders and generates broad appeal. East Asian idol culture, which first began in Japan in the 1960s, would spread to neighboring countries in later decades: in South Korea and Taiwan, for example, it took root in the 1990s, and in China the 2010s. Idols are also not limited to singing, and may take part in more explicitly image-focused venues such as pin-up photography ( gravure idols ) and pornography ( AV idols ).

There are many different idols and idol groups spread across many countries. In Japan, there are pop stars Ayumi Hamasaki and Namie Amuro as well as Kana Nishino and music groups such as Momoiro Clover Z , Morning Musume , AKB48 , and Perfume and Johnny & Associates boy bands Arashi , NEWS , KAT-TUN , and Hey! Say! JUMP among others. In Taiwan, there are pop icons such as Jay Chou , Jolin Tsai , music groups Mayday , F4 , and S.H.E . In South Korea, notable K-pop personalities include singers BoA and Rain and groups BTS , Exo , TVXQ , 2PM , 2AM , Beast , Shinee , Super Junior , 2NE1 , Big Bang , Wonder Girls , T-ara , Kara , Blackpink and Girls' Generation . [4] In Vietnam, there are the singers WanBi Tuấn Anh , [5] Sơn Tùng M-TP , Đông Nhi , Bảo Thy and Tóc Tiên . [6] [7]

European teen idols include German popstar Bill Kaulitz of the pop-rock band Tokio Hotel [8] and the members of the Anglo-Irish pop boy band One Direction , [9] and Girls Aloud , another Anglo-Irish band. In Spain, La Oreja de Van Gogh , Miguel Bosé , Mecano , and Hombres G all enjoyed teen-idol status. In the Balkans, the late Macedonian singer Toše Proeski was considered a teen idol.

In Latin America, idols ranges from Mexican pop stars Timbiriche , Lynda Thomas , Magneto , Puerto Rican born Mexican Luis Miguel , colombian Shakira and the popular Puerto Rican boy band Menudo in the 1980s and 1990s, and Paty Cantú , Anahí , Belinda , and RBD in the 2000s and 2010s. [10] Besides, former Menudo member Ricky Martin , their chief rivals Los Chicos and former member Chayanne , Venezuelan actor and singer Guillermo Davila and more, to Argentina, where telenovela, Chiquititas , ushered in a new era of teen-idols for that country, including actors Benjamin Rojas , Felipe Colombo , Luisana Lopilato , and Camila Bordonaba , who went on to form teen band Erreway , precursors to Mexican band RBD.

Often teen idols are actors or musicians . Some teen idols began their careers as child actors , such as Britney Spears , Raven-Symoné , Lindsay Lohan , Hilary Duff , and Miley Cyrus . There were teen idols before there were teen magazines , but idols have always been a permanent feature in magazines such as Seventeen , 16 , Tiger Beat and Right On! in the United States, and in similar magazines elsewhere. With the advent of television, teen idols were also promoted through programs such as American Bandstand , The Ed Sullivan Show , Soul Train . Today's teen idols have spawned an entire industry of gossip magazines , television shows , YouTube , social media , and whole television channels such as E! .

The first known person to have been treated as a teen idol was Franz Liszt , the Hungarian pianist who, in the 1840s, drew such a following among young women that the term " Lisztomania " soon came to describe the phenomenon. The kind of idolizing following Liszt drew in Europe would not be followed for several decades. American-born Roger Wolfe Kahn became, arguably, America's first modern-day teen idol, when, in 1924 at the age of sixteen he launched his first jazz band. Throughout his teens, he became dubbed the 'Millionaire Maestro.' [11] Geraldine Farrar , American opera singer, had a large following of young women nicknamed "Gerry-flappers" in the early 20th century. [12] [13] Rudy Vallée , who
