“…Surprisingly, we found no evidence regarding the impact of NE on EA and SL. These contradict the previous studies ( Lee and Ju, 2010 ; Chen et al, 2014 ; Su et al, 2016 ; Gu et al, 2021 ) regarding the influence of nostalgia in eliciting audience empathy and favorable attitudes. Such results could be explained by the hedonic nature of KPop music and the transient nature of live stream shows, requiring comeback KPop performers to constantly update contents to elicit audience attachment and loyalty; or comeback KPop performers’ live stream shows failing to deliver nostalgic feelings to audiences (possibly due to a lack of technological or marketing resources).…”

“…In a comeback KPop performer’s live stream show could deliver the nostalgic experience that stimulates audiences’ familiar feelings of the past and give them comfort, which further leads to emotional attachment toward the performer (i.e., someone in his or her heydays when the audience was younger). Moreover, previous studies have confirmed that nostalgic experience could influence customers’ intentions to rebuy specific products or services, thus closely related to customer loyalty ( Chen et al, 2014 ; Su et al, 2016 ; Gu et al, 2021 ). Drawing on the relevant literature, we predict that nostalgic experience delivered in comeback KPop performers’ live stream shows could stimulate audience resonance about previous experience regarding the audience’s feelings and sympathies toward comeback KPop performers (i.e., sympathetic affection).…”

Live stream platforms have transformed the production and consumption of music, allowing KPop music to expand globally. Successful KPop idols are contrasted with large numbers of retired KPop performers, some of whom live in undesirable conditions. Drawing on the attachment theory, loyalty theory, and parasocial interaction theory, this study focuses on a unique group, comeback KPop performers, to examine how they acquire empathetic attachment and sustained loyalty from audiences through live stream shows, and the antecedents (i.e., sustained attractiveness, nostalgic experience, and parasocial interactions) of these two variables. Answering these questions seems important because comeback KPop performers have to interact with audiences without the financial and marketing support from entertainment agencies. The structural equation modeling of 288 responses from 176 Chinese and 112 Korean KPop audiences confirmed that empathetic attachment and sustained loyalty are positively associated with audience purchase intentions; sustained attractiveness and parasocial interactions function as antecedents of these two factors. The findings shed light on the comeback KPop performers who co-create value with audiences through live stream platforms, with theoretical contributions to the three theories mentioned above and managerial suggestions to KPop entertainment agencies, comeback KPop performers, and managers of live stream platforms.

“…For instance, Chen et al ( 2020b ) examined the role of nostalgia in affecting consumers’ loyalty intentions at traditional Chinese restaurants and found that consumers with nostalgic feelings tend to perceive a higher value of their dining experience, which results in higher loyalty intentions. In a similar vein, Gu et al ( 2021 ) examined the impact of nostalgia-evoking stimuli on customers’ consequent assessment and post-purchase behavioral intention. The authors found that associations between nostalgia stimuli and epistemic, emotional, and nostalgia-seeking benefits were confirmed partially.…”

Restaurant research has received significant attention globally. This article aims to examine the evolution and the knowledge structure of restaurant research over the past decades. We also investigate the restaurant research hotspots and knowledge diffusion paths based on 1489 articles extracted from the Web of Science database. Furthermore, we conduct a keyword co-occurrence network analysis and four different types of main path analyses to scrutinize the historical formation of the restaurant research. Results revealed that restaurant research mainly focused on five research themes: consumer behavior, consumer satisfaction, social media, green restaurants, and authenticity. While consumer behavior has been the mainstream topic, the focus of this line of research has recently shifted from traditional to luxury and ethnic restaurants. Furthermore, our analysis has detected several recent changes in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. By examining the knowledge structure of restaurant research, we reveal its knowledge diffusion paths and provide avenues for future research in this vast and interdisciplinary research field.

“…Kesan awal pada suatu destinasi kuliner merupakan faktor penting sebagai tahap awal pengambilan keputusan untuk makan di tempat tersebut atau pindah ke tempat lain yang lebih sesuai dengan preferensi wisatawan (Martin et al, 2020). Oleh karenanya, suasana penyedia layanan menjadi pertimbangan wisatawan dalam menentukan pilihan makanan yang akan dikonsumsi (Gu et al, 2021;Tsai & Wang, 2017).…”

“…Menurut Abdullah and Lui (2018), kemudahan mencari lokasi tempat penyajian adalah faktor mendasar bagi wisatawan dalam menentukan pilihan. Sementara itu, Gu et al (2021) menyatakan bahwa penampilan dari tempat penyediaan makanan lokal juga berperan penting dalam proses penentuan suatu destinasi wisata. Selain itu, tema dan suasana tempat penyajian makanan lokal juga menjadi salah pertimbangan wisatawan dalam menentukan keputusan memilih makanan lokal (Kumar et al, 2021).…”

The sustainability of a tourist destination can be achieved by correctly planning, exploiting, and growing the area's tourism potential. Local gastronomy is one of the potentials that can be cultivated. Local cuisine has evolved into a driving force in enticing tourists to a destination. The goal of this research is to better understand the consumption habits of local food tourists. A food tourism framework is defined in this study, which includes culinary attribute, culinary experience, and culinary atmosphere. A total of 337 people who participated in a cuisine tour in Cirebon were surveyed to test the framework that has been built. Data was processed using descriptive statistical methods, followed by cross analysis using the Independent Sample T-Test on measurement results that had been adjusted to the respondents' attributes.
