ガチ恋
의미: Genuinely falling in love with an idol, VTuber, or streamer — real romantic feelings beyond normal fandom.
ガチ恋 combines ガチ (genuine/serious) with 恋 (romantic love). It describes the state of having real romantic feelings for a public figure, crossing the line from fan admiration to actual love. This is often seen as problematic in fan communities because it can lead to obsessive behaviour. The term ガチ恋勢 (gachi koi zei) refers to the group of fans with these feelings.
