For a long time, the "fans circle" fans groups have been active online and offline. Due to the lack of restrictions and norms of laws and regulations, there are many problems such as abuses and attacks within the "fans circle" fans groups. The external "erosion" of the "fans circle" culture has also triggered a lot of "network melees". With the development of Qinglang Action, the governance of the fans circle has achieved certain results. However, in the face of the complex Internet and the fans circle culture that has been brought life by the spring breeze, using the law to regulate it is the one and only way to govern. By identifying the definition and nature of fans community groups, this paper intends to study their legal status and clarify their rights and obligations based on the current governance dilemma, the existing legal basis and the experience of other countries. Then it is proposed to use the means of administrative law to regulate their establishment and form a top-down governance system of "law — administrative departments — fans community groups — fans themselves", hoping to provide some suggestions for the legalization of fans circle management.
