#1 TOP DEFINITION
관종 — attention seeker. Short for 관심종자 (attention seed). Someone who constantly craves the spotlight and manufactures situations to be noticed. In K-pop, the term applies to idols who seem to perform every interaction for cameras or fans who make every situation about themselves. Can be said affectionately (the lovable ham) or as genuine criticism.
Example
“Jin is famously the group 관종 of BTS — his entire personality is 'look at me' and the entire fandom loves him for it.”
