📣 Meaning

A fan chant: the set script fans shout during a specific song. Usually that means calling each member’s name in the intro and adding short lines between lyrics in the chorus.

Origin

응원 (應援, “cheering”) + 법 (法, “method”), literally “the way to cheer.” “Official” doesn’t mean the agency wrote it. Guides say fandoms usually create and share it, and each title track gets its own soon after release.

✍️ Examples

  1. 콘서트 가기 전에 응원법 외워야 해.
    Konseoteu gagi jeone eungwonbeop oewoya hae.
    I need to memorize the fan chant before the concert.

  2. 이번 노래 응원법 나왔어?
    Ibeon norae eungwonbeop nawasseo?
    Is the fan chant out for the new song?

💡 Usage tip

Search “[song title] 응원법” to find the chant video. Don’t mix it up with 떼창 (ttechang), where the whole crowd sings the lyrics.
