A fancam (직캠, jikcam) is a video that follows one member of a group throughout a stage, instead of cutting between members like a broadcast edit.
What a fancam captures
Where a TV broadcast switches camera angles across the whole group, a fancam stays locked on a single member for the entire song. This lets fans watch one person's choreography, expressions, and stage presence without interruption.
Fan-filmed and official fancams
Originally fancams were filmed by fans at concerts and music shows. Today many broadcasters and agencies also release "official" direct-cams, where each member gets a dedicated single-member video of the same performance.
