Cultural Context
Korean 팬사이트 culture is unique — individual fans (called 홈마 or 'home masters') run dedicated sites/Twitter accounts devoted to a single idol member, using expensive DSLR cameras to photograph them at airports, fan signings, and concerts. They distribute high-resolution photos for free and sometimes sell self-produced goods called '비공식 굿즈' (unofficial merch). Top 홈마 have huge followings and can be more influential than official agencies in shaping a member's image.
