fancam

2 definitions
#1 TOP DEFINITION

A video filmed by fans or official broadcasters that focuses on a single member during a group performance, rather than showing the entire group. Fancams are an important way fans showcase their favorite member's talent and visuals.

Example
โ€œLisa's fancam from MAMA 2019 went viral worldwide with over 400 million views, introducing many international fans to K-pop.โ€
#2

An individual-focus cut of a music show performance. Official fancams are released by music shows like MCOUNTDOWN and Mnet; fan-made fancams are filmed from the audience. Both are used to measure individual member popularity.

Example
โ€œDid you see Karina's fancam from the Savage performance? Her expressions were everything.โ€
