About this term

A fancam is a stage clip focused on one member — fan-shot or official "vertical" cams. It is the English counterpart to Korean jik-kaem (직캠) and a major path for bias discovery on YouTube.

Beginners search the word because timelines flood with fancams after every music-show stage. Streaming goals often target specific member fancams too.
