The shift in consumer behavior, increasingly relying on information from digital platforms, including Instagram, requires healthcare institutions like hospitals to adjust their communication strategies. This shift in media usage is occurring in hospitals in Indonesia, such as RS Grha Kedoya in Jakarta, which previously relied on conventional media (such as newspapers, radio, and television), but have recently started using social media like Instagram. This research aims to understand why hospitals like RS Grha Kedoya, Jakarta, have switched their media tools to social media. Therefore, the authors conducted an analysis of digital media usage in the hospital. Using qualitative method with a descriptive approach as methodology, the study discusses events, behaviors, activities, and processes on the </em><em>Grha Kedoya Hospital’s Instagram account (@grhakedoya). The research findings indicate that the switch to social media is due to broader reach, cost-effectiveness, two-way interaction, more targeted campaigns, rapid information dissemination, and increased brand awareness. By switching to social media, RS Grha Kedoya can enhance internal and external communication efficiency, promote health services and programs more effectively, and utilize data and analysis from social media interactions to better understand patient needs and feedback, all of which contribute to improving the quality of hospital services. This research provides significant benefits to the field of knowledge, particularly in health communication, by enriching the understanding of social media usage in hospitals. The findings can help identify effective communication strategies to convey health information, enhance patient education, and strengthen the relationship between hospitals and the community.</em></p> <p style="font-weight: 400;"><strong><em>Keywords:</em></strong><em> Social Media; Promotion; Education; Hospital;</em></p> Akrom Arroisi Salsabila Hanoum Nurifai Rino Febrianno Boer Copyright (c) 2024 Akrom Arroisi, Salsabila Hanoum Nurifai, Rino Febrianno Boer http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 2024-08-29 2024-08-29 5 1 1 17 10.37535/103005120241 Hubungan Parasosial Antara Penggemar ARMY dan BTS di Weverse https://journal.lspr.edu/index.php/commentate/article/view/688 <p style="font-weight: 400;"><strong>ABSTRAK</strong></p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">Penelitian ini berfokus untuk memahami hubungan parasosial atau <em>parasocial relationship</em> (PSR) antara penggemar ARMY dengan Idol BTS di Weverse.
