What does it mean?
Urimalsaem defines 직캠 (直cam) as a video the person shot directly. The same dictionary lists 직캠 영상, videos filmed by oneself or by a fan, and 세로 직캠, a vertical video shot or edited to fit a phone screen.
Why fans like it
A fancam lets you follow one person through the whole stage instead of the broadcast’s changing camera angles — which is why fans often search for their favorite member’s fancam.
In a sentence
“I watched her fancam three times.” / “이 노래는 직캠이 더 좋아요.” (This song is better as a fancam.)
