Definition
追星族 literally means 'star-chasing tribe' — it refers to fans, especially young people, who are deeply devoted to celebrities (actors, singers, etc.). The suffix 族 ('tribe/group') is used in words like 上班族 (working people) and 月光族 (people who spend their entire salary). 追星族 is a collective noun describing a subculture of obsessive fans, not an organized fan club.
