직캠 (jikcam): the fancam that follows one member

📹 Meaning

A fancam: a video focused on one member during a performance. Fans watch them to catch facial expressions and dance details that group camera angles miss.

Origin

Short for 직접 찍은 캠코더 영상, “video shot yourself with a camcorder.” It started with fans filming concerts. Music shows now post official single-member cams too, and those are also called 직캠.
