Does obsession with something or someone mean idol worship?

I read an article on K-pop fandom cult and it said obsession is the requirement to idol worship

They are called Idols for a reason , because people worship them like Idols .
Same goes for person who is waking up and first thing he does is checking what News says about Trump or Hilary . Idol worship .

If you have nothing to do for 5 min and you pull your phone from your pocket it's idol worship aswell . It did not ring , nobody message you but you had to just hold it in your hand for a while .

Everything can be Idol .

It can be. Now there can be instances where the Lord can place someone on your mind continually because He wants you to be praying for them and/or minister to them eventually. This can seem almost like an obsession sometimes when it is actually the Lord causing you to focus very heavily on one person for a time. Especially the case if it is someone you are called to marry. But because strong emotions can be involved, you have to be careful that you are not simply reading your own thoughts into the matter as being "God's thoughts."

Blessings,
Hidden
