This paper explores the process of consumer identity transformation in online communities. We conduct a longitudinal netnographic study of moderators in South Korean pop culture online communities. We demonstrate that through consuming cultural products, consumers undergo three phases of identity evolution: construction and alignment, transformation, and reconstruction and reinforcement.
