Oshi: Part 2

The term 'oshi' (推し - "my fave") is widely used among young people in Japan and has various derivatives.

For example, when one supports their favorite idol or character in various ways or tries to promote them to others, it is called 'oshikatsu' (推し活), with 'katsu' (活 - meaning "activity").

Additionally, when one likes the entire group rather than a specific member, it is called 'hako oshi' (箱推し).

'Hako' (箱) usually means "box," but in this context, it is a metaphor for the live music club where the idol groups perform.

Having something to be crazy about like 'oshi' is nice, but be careful not to spend too much money.
推し Part 2

「推し」という表現は主に若者の間で広く利用され、さまざまな派生語を持ちます。

例えば、好きなアイドルやキャラクターをさまざまな形で応援したり、周りに広めようとすることは、「活動」を意味する「活」をつけて「推し活」と言います。

また、グループにおける特定のメンバーではなく、グループ全体を推している場合は、「箱推し」と言います。

ここで「箱」は、アイドルグループが活動するライブハウスの比喩となっています。

「推し」のような夢中になることができる対象があることは素敵なことですが、お金の使い過ぎには注意しましょう。

Sorry, I skipped the first sentence:
"The term 'oshi' (推し - "my fave") is widely used among young people in Japan and has various derivatives."

Given this sentence, is it acceptable for the second sentence to begin with "For example"?

Yes
