臺灣本土偶像文化自2009年《模范棒棒堂》結束播放後，雖陸續仍有相關選秀節目及偶像團體推出，因受到全球化、韓國流行文化軟實力提升及無法與中國夾帶龐大資金製作競爭之影響，皆無法使臺灣偶像圈回到如小虎隊、F4、5566、可米小子、飛輪海及棒棒堂時期之風光。然《原子少年》卻顛覆過去臺灣偶像文化多年低迷的氣氛，尚未播畢便已造成轟動，且一反過去一般大眾對於臺灣偶像文化的質疑及既定印象，未出道就紅到國外，更打破過去臺灣偶像受眾刻板印象僅限於年輕女性的現象，於各活動現場皆可觀察到年長粉絲及異性粉絲之存在，其造成的跨越年齡及性別的追星現象，以及過去臺灣就偶像文化之研究多以外國偶像之粉絲為研究客體，或是僅針對節目創新等制度化之研究，鮮少有以臺灣本土偶像及其粉絲進行研究，從而促使本研究之誕生，本研究即以「粉絲」作為研究中心，採取質化研究，以深度訪談之「半結構訪談」及田野調查之「實地觀察」作為研究主要方法，期望能夠探討此現象背後相關形成之脈絡。
而研究發現迷的組成也極具多樣化，每個成為迷的閱聽人皆有其背後所代表之認同，而迷文化之形成係透過模仿與學習，並藉由於迷社會內的互動過程重複的強化其成為迷的緣由及其背後隱藏的認同與價值，並鞏固迷社會中的規範且潛移默化地將這些規範再次傳承，且迷除了發展自身的迷文化，也會進行外部及內部的劃界，顯示了迷文化的複雜性及其在臺灣偶像文化再興中的重要角色，也揭示粉絲文化的形成過程及其背後的認同與價值，為理解臺灣本土偶像及其粉絲群體提供新的視角。

Since the end of the broadcast of "Lollipop" in 2009, Taiwan's local idol culture has seen various talent shows and idol groups being launched. However, due to globalization, the rise of South Korean pop culture's soft power, and the inability to compete with the significant financial backing of Chinese productions, the Taiwanese idol industry has been unable to return to the glory days of the Little Tigers, F4, 5566, Comic Boyz, Fahrenheit, and Lollipop. Yet, "Atom Boyz" has overturned the prolonged downturn in Taiwan's idol culture, causing a sensation even before the show finished airing. It has challenged the public's skepticism and preconceived notions about Taiwan's idol culture, achieving international fame before debuting. Moreover, it has broken the stereotype that Taiwan's idol audiences are limited to young females, as seen from the presence of older fans and male fans at various events, resulting in a phenomenon where fans span different ages and genders.

Past research on Taiwan's idol culture has primarily focused on fans of foreign idols or institutional innovations in programs, with little attention given to local idols and their fans. This gap has prompted the present study, which centers on "fans" using qualitative research methods. These include "semi-structured interviews" for in-depth interviews and "field observations" for ethnographic studies, aiming to explore the context behind this phenomenon.
