Although it is never easy to create charming characters that people can relate to, well-formed characters have the power to enable the audience to not only empathize but identify with them. Thus, there is a need for us to examine the parts that make up a well-formed character. According to empathy theory, when the character in the play has a human face that is not different from me, I can feel familiarity and human empathy. Rather than perfection without loopholes, I relate to and sympathize with someone who looks similar to me, with many mistakes and some lack. This study aims to examine the attractiveness of characters in narrative dramas in terms of defects and internal growth. To do this, we tried to compare the setting, evaluation, and performance of characters based on the movie worldviews of two famous brands (DC and Marble), which can be compared directly. I looked at it. In conclusion, the work of hero character but human character setting based on internal growth not only has high evaluation and public evaluation, but also high sales, and thus direct and indirect correlation with the public favorability is significant.

외식산업은 국민경제의 발전에 따른 가처분 소득 증가, 여가시간의 증대, 맞벌이 세대의 증가, 핵가족화 등의 성장원인으로 국민의 의식형태의 변화에 따라 수많은 외국 브랜드의 레스토랑이 국내에 진출하여 경쟁이 심화되어 있다. 외국계 레스토랑의 국내 진출은 의식 서비스 품질의 중요성을 인식시켜주는 계기가 되었으며, 고객만족은 그 어떤 무엇보다도 중요한 기업활동의 목적으로 여기는 계기가 되었다. 이러한 점을 감안하여 본 연구는 패밀리 레스토랑을 이용하는 고객들의 만족영향요인으로서 서비스 품질을 선행요인으로 하여 고객만족과 사후에 전개되는 행동과의 관계를 구조적으로 측정하였다. 그리고, 가장 취약한 점을 찾은 후 그 점을 가장 잘 보완할 수 있고, 고객과의 관계를 더욱 친밀히 할 수 있는 새로운 서비스의 타당성을 측정해 보았다. 새로운 서비스로써 지금까지 각 테이블당의 호스트 개념을 고객관리를 함께 하도록 호스트들에게 더 많은 권한을 이양해 주어, 개개인의 호스트라는 느낌을 가져서 타 패밀리 레스토랑보다 특별한 고객으로 대한다는 것을 느낄 수 있게 한다면 통계적으로 살펴봤던 반응성과 공감성 요인의 취약함을 오히려 강점으로 만들 수 있다는 결론이 도출되었다.

In recent years, the concept of influencer marketing has experienced rapid growth in both academia and industry, leading to its emergence as a crucial consideration in the marketing strategies of many businesses. Despite the significance and expansion of the influencer market, however, research on the topic has not kept pace with its growth. Thus, this study seeks to address this gap by empirically analyzing the impact of influencer characteristics on consumer behavior through the coexistence of buyers and providing an empirical contribution to expand the relevant literature. To accomplish this, a survey was conducted with a sample of 400 individuals who had purchased a product through an influencer, and 384 responses were ultimately utilized in the analysis. The results revealed that the attractiveness and empathy of influencers had a positive impact on satisfaction among coexisting buyers, while also having a negative impact on dissatisfaction. In contrast, expertise had no impact on satisfaction, but a positive impact on dissatisfaction. Moreover, satisfaction was found to have a positive impact on brand image and recommendation intention, whereas dissatisfaction had a negative impact on both. Overall, this study adds to the growing body of literature on influencer marketing by providing empirical evidence of the impact of influencer characteristics on consumer behavior, specifically through the lens of coexistence with buyers. These findings hold important implications for businesses looking to develop effective influencer marketing strategies that can enhance their brand image and recommendation intention among consumers.
