Despite the boyband's continued years-long hiatus, One Direction (1D) fans continued actively engaging in fan activities. A mixed methods online survey distributed in 2020 sought to explore how and why fans were still participating. In early 2020, the top four activities respondents were engaging in were listening to 1D music, supporting members' solo careers, reading 1D fan fiction, and rewatching videos of/about 1D. Through a thematic analysis, common motivations among participants were found; across activities, fans had often been participating because of missing the band, to feel like the band was still together, to feel closer to the band, to remember other times, and because the band had made lifelong impacts.
